Question / Help Is there a way to serve output of OBS Studio locally via HTTP

[Simon Grant]

I want to stream the final output of OBS studio locally so that another application (IPcamAdaptor probably, which take local HTTP video and converts it to a local DirectShow webcam) can make it available as a webcam source, so that I can use the output od OBS Studio in chat and video call applications like Facebook messenger or Skype (not as a Facebook Live stream).

I tried recording to custom output (FFmpeg) but that only seemed to work for streaming UDP, and the bridge application only supports HTTP (like from an IP camera). I also tried MonaServer but this only serves the video via RTMP as far as I can tell.

Does anyone know of a way to do this?

I know there was talk of have DirectShow output in OBS Studio but I assume this is not yet available.

In theory you could take the obs studio out, writer it as a hardware device i.e. camera "hardware" so you could select it out of your cameras for the messenger call. And bam live call intiated... still watching the messenger screen though unless you can inspect live call feed, grab source and feed back in to..., have incoming vid sit in obs... in theory.
