Question / Help Is it possible to use OBS for TV show streaming?

[ExpStealer]

This is just a question, not a support request.

Not long ago a popular TV show on Bulgarian National Television has been taken down without any explanation and the author is seeking a way to independently host and stream their show. Normally they would need a lot of tech, a large team of people manning all kinds of stuff - lights, audio, cameras, graphical elements which show up on the viewers' screens, you name it. Most of those, however, may theoretically be handled by OBS via multiple inputs and the use of its studio mode. If they stream to Twitch using OBS and a few HQ cameras they can save a ton of money, nor would they have to depend on another television to broadcast their show.

So, is it really possible for OBS to handle such a tremendous task or is it not sophisticated enough?

The answer is plainly yes.

If a device can be detected in Device Manager as a device on the computer, OBS can use it as a Video Capture Device, an Audio Device, or whatever.

Set up different Scenes for different views and layers for overlays and the likes. You could run commercials by embedding video, there's tons of ways to do this.

You would likely need a high core count CPU to achieve this, but they don't need anything else really robust besides lots of Inputs through USB.

Thank you. I'll be sure to suggest it to them in this case.
