Are you a visual learner or do you prefer to read? Streaming can be fun, but with free, open-source software, the initial learning curve can be a bit steep (even for the technically inclined). My preference is to read .. so I cam e across these non-gamer oriented free eBooks which cover a lot of content in detail, which can help someone get started -

- The Unofficial Guide to Open Broadcaster Software
- The OBS Superuser Guidebook
- The Basics of Live Streaming
and, something to have in your back pocket, so to speak if this comes up

The challenge with livestreaming to multiple targets is that you either seriously compromise your settings, or sometimes the stream platform requirements are simply incompatible. Meaning you have to encode separate streams simultaneously (and even one real-time encoding can be computationally demanding) often means upper-end equipment to pull off (and a good quality upstream bandwidth that many don't have), OR, you stream once to a service (like reastream.io) and let them re-encode for each platform... for a price (in exchange for not needing as high-end gear nor Internet connection).
beware default 15fps frame rate for the

test thoroughly in advance if quality (with motion) is ok at 30fps
ooh, wait, WiFi only camera ... that is NOT good (see all the threads about how WiFi can 'glitch' at inopportune moments).. WiFi is not designed for such jitter and latency sensitive traffic (anyone who says otherwise is ignorant, lying, or grossly over-simplifying). So it depends on many factors, which can vary over time, whether that will work for you or not.
I don't believe (hopefully) you will need an external/separately installed version of VLC for the camera input. Use one of the native Media Source types (including VLC) in OBS Studio
