Hello all together!
Let's finally find a solution for
livestreaming on instagram from your pc (with obs/xsplit!)
I've been trying it for days now.
(IMPORTANT: I am able to go live from my pc
with a single webcam. Just use an android
emulator like NOX or Blustacks and go for it.)
I know a lot of people are going to say: It's not possible until instagram
officially publishes their "something code" (dunno...) for third party access to their
livestreaming feature. HOWEVER: I've seen a stream with overlays and multiple cams in the past. So it IS possible SOMEHOW. Sadly, I can't remember where I've seen it as this has
been a while ago...
The problem: I want to use OBS or XSplit in order
to use multiple webcams. So far so good.
Both OBS and Xsplit have a "virtual webcam" function
(Xsplit native, OBS needs a free plugin).
So it should work right? No.

Problems:
- You cannot change the video source in Bluestacks or Nox.
Both use the "default" webcam of your pc. Or to be more precise:
I cannot find any options for changing the source.
- Windows won't let you change the "default" webcam.
OC you could disable all webcams except for the needed one
(which would be a virtual one), however, I want to use both webcams
in order to create a scene.
- I've also tried an emulator named "Andy". This one lets you choose
your video source, however, it only recognizes "hardware webcams".
I can only find them for exmaple when using a webbrowser.
If I then open up a website which needs a webcam,
I can choose the virtual cam of xsplit/obs.
###########
Recap of things I've tried:
- Tried to change the video source in BlueStacks/Nox
- Tried to change the "default" webcam in WIN.
- Tried the WIN10 Instagram APP. No Livestreaming feature.
(But even if it would be possible. I don't think that you could
set a virtual one as your default as it's not listed in devices)
- Tried to find a website with full instagram functionality as
I am able to choose the virtual cams in browsers.
- Tried to get the "ARC Welder" (or something like that) runtime and extension
running under WIN/chrome browser. Result: Not working.
- Tried to find a third party service which lets you post instagram stuff
from you pc, hoping to find one with a livestreaming feature (of course a failure).
- In the past I've watched a youtube video of a guy who changes some settings
in a browser (dunno which one though...) and then uses instagram inside the browser.
Cannot find the video though and anyways: I don't think it had the full functionality. However: If you know that video or find it - let me know...
Trying literally EVERYTHING right now in order to get this running...
- Tried to find a post I've seen somewhere of a guy (I believe...) who reverse engineered the instagram "something code" (dunno anymore) and was able to somehow get it running.
But then again: I don't know what exactly he has been able to achieve. But I think it
had something to do with OBS.

ADDITIONAL INFO:
In case you wonder: Trying to setup instagram livestreams from my recording studio.
Including Mics, two cams (one in the mixing room, one in the recording booth) etc.
Again.. Just in case you wonder.
###########
LAST WORDS (Ha.Ha.Ha.):
If you know any workaround for pc... let me know.
If you know any way to get this running on my smartphone... let me know.
If you can provide ANY HELP whatsoever: PLEASE let me know.
Not kidding around here.
At this point I would even PAY someone who has a solution for me.
Any help is highly appreciated.
I googled my fingers down to the bone.
I'm done haha.
IT IS POSSIBLE! I'VE SEEN IT!
But hoooooow.. :D
GREETINGS!
