Hello, I'm currently making a Minecraft event and wish to have an official stream, but one to have multiple angles, I'm planning on hiring people to be my cameramen while I control the stream, but I need some way of getting their shots on to the stream, so I can stream directly to Twitch. Any ideas? Thanks.

Cameramen stream to a nginx server running on your system and you incorporate that footage into obs with window capture of the videoplayers that show the incoming streams.
I made a guide that roughly explains a picture in picture setup, yours will of course differ a bit, but it might help you: http://www.helping-squad.com/wp/do-a-picture-in-picture-stream-with-obs-and-nginx/

The windows version of nginx should be enough for you btw, no need to run a VM with linux.

I'm not sure I understand, do I have to purchase another server?

"stream to a nginx server running on your system" ... "The windows version of nginx should be enough"
So the answer is no, its just a program you run on your windows machine that acts as the server and is free to use. As can be seen in the tutorial :)
On http://nginx-win.ecsds.eu/ or on my page http://rtmp.jack0r.com/ you can get a compiled and ready to use version for windows.

To receive the streams from your cameramen you might have to open port 1935, that is correct.
I am not sure if you need to open http ports as well, you might have to test that.

Okay, I doubt my internet would be able to handle everything.

No, that's basically your only option unless they are sitting in the same room with you and you use some sort of video switcher to accept multiple inputs, and then run that into a capture card to get the footage into OBS.

It's a difficult situation. I'm going to look in to LAN capturing for the rewrite at some point
