Question / Help Livestreaming with OBS to instagram
- Thread starter Jens2zero
- Start date
This would be so valuable for our company. We are currently able to stream using professional software to YouTube and to Facebook without any issues, but we have to setup an iPhone with a lightning to USB adaptor (Lightning Camera Adaptor Kit) just to import high-fidelity audio, but are left without proper cameras, or the ability to have lower-thirds, or any other post-modification.
Please come up with a plug-in that will allow some type of virtual camera input to devices that have Instagram apps so that video with modifications can be embedded into those virtual camera input streams.

Instagram doesn't support livestreaming from anything other than their app. Sorry guys.
If they ever expose their RTMP servers, it'll be totally possible, but until that happens, sorry, but it's not meant to be a professional streaming platform.
My suggestion for anyone wanting the best quality they can get would be to use the latest iPhone with a tripod mount. Their camera software is optimized for iPhones, and the latest iPhone always has the best camera.
Good results can still be had with a Google Pixel, Galaxy S7, or Galaxy S8, as they have the best cameras, but the software is slightly better on the iPhone 7

Since Windows 10 Instagram app now supports USB cameras why not use -> OBS Virtual Cam with it ??? https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/obs-virtualcam.539/
@Jens2zero @wisani it is actually possible with a bit of configuration. This guy https://github.com/mgp25/Instagram-API/ has disassembled Instagram API and made a PHP library for accessing it.
Here he creates new stream and adds ffmpeg for sending video there:

I have tried the code to export RTMP URL and launched OBS stream using that URL. IT WORKS.
