Question / Help Multiple streams - possible?

Hello, does OBS support or have a plugin for the use case of wanting to stream to two different twitch accounts at once? Specifically, I want to have one scene with the whole layout of my camera, the game camera, and a third room camera going to one twitch account, and then I want only the game camera getting streamed to a different twitch account.

I'm able to work around and achieve this by running multiple instances of OBS and using "Verysoft WebCamSplitter" in order to use the same camera source in both instances. Right now, it has the downside that it loses my audio for the game camera (even though it's supposed to work... it just doesn't... and I can't find ANY help for this webcamsplitter program). It also has the downside that I have to run two OBS instances.

Is there a better way for me to achieve this?

Not without running multiple OBS instances.

However, you should be able to use OBS-NDI to make things a bit easier (instead of Verysoft WebCamSplitter). Basically, you have the OBS instance that deals with just your game camera set up to send an NDI feed out. Then on your full-scene OBS, instead of using a duplicate of your game camera, you use the NDI feed from the other OBS instance.

EposVox has a video detailing how specifically to set this up here. His use case is to stream and record separate views, but this should work with dual streaming.

Cool, I can look in to that since it sounds like it could be simpler and stay in the OBS ecosystem.
I was able to figure out the sound issue with Verysoft WebCamSplitter, it was my own fault for not understanding how Windows handles sound inputs...
