Looking for a method to have multiple live streams on one YouTube channel

I know this is possible because people are doing it. Several channels on youtube are live streaming music. These channels might have jazz on one live stream and hip hop on another live stream and country on another livestream. Most are also using Virtual Private Servers. I’m fairly certain that OBS is the software of choice. My question is ... do you need multiple instances of OBS running at the same time? Is it multiple servers?

I’ve reached out to several of these channels, but, of course, no replies.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

You can have multiple instances of OBS with multiple user login profiles in your operating system if you are steaming from files & not really live. But streaming uses so much computer resources, you'll likely still want a dedicated machine/stream especially if it's 24/7.

Not sure you still use this site but when you say multiple instances of OBS do you mean 1 installed OBS can stream multiple streams at once as long as there's multiple profiles logged in?
I'm new to all this sorry so don't understand much

You can ask youtube for different/additional stream keys. You run two instances of obs, but using two different profiles, each one configured with the separate keys. There are start commands args you can use to allow two obs to run . example: "Z:\OBS 4 - Make Movie COnfiguration\obs-studio\bin\64bit\obs64.exe" --multi -m --profile "STANDARD_YOUTUBE_PORT_4451". the --multi -m allows multiple obs's to run without the silly "are you sure message" and the "--profile ...." starts the obs with that profile and a different yt stream key.
