All,

I'm not sure about the best way to go about this, so I thought i'd start here.

My goal: To stream/video call using 5 different camera's 1 main and then 1 per player so they don't see the other players hand.

I know you can set up multiple cameras, but the 5 cameras would be viewed by all individuals watching the stream. I am not sure if this is even easily feasible.

Example: Scrabble (I'm not actually talking about playing scrabble. I just wanted an easy / understandable example)
Cam1: Top down view of board
Cam2: Player 1
Cam3: Player 2
Cam4: Player 3
Cam5: Player 4

The host would be doing all the physical labor, and moving things around for the players on the call.

I'm not sure how this could be achieved without multiple streams/calls. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance!
 
if you want 5 different streams for 5 different people all from the same computer, then that might be a problem. Not entirely sure what to suggest unfortunately. Maybe split it up into 3 computers, and have two computers do two streams each via -multi command line option, and one computer to the fifth? Best suggestion I can think of. You could probably do 5 streams all on the same computer if you turn the x264 CPU preset to superfast or ultrafast for each OBS instance though.
