OBS on "interactive mode", possible?

Hi, I would realize a simple system to see a mosaic of cameras, and when clicking on one camera it will open it in fullscreen, then with an hotkey or right-mouse-click going back to mosaic. Is this possible?
As basic concept OBS works in "edit mode", if I click on one camera it select it to edit its proprieties, ect. I would lock this (and don't allow to edit more) and enable the interact mode..

Thanks for your comments

thanks, your answer is interesting, but unfortunately it can't fit my case. It display twice the main camera (which I don't need) and it displays down 8 previous view.. and I have more cameras to choose. More, there is no way to choose what to display there.

The idea to have a second monitor displaying the mosaic, and chose mosaic or a single camera to display on main sceen is not wrong, but it shoudl be configurable, and multiview isn't .

Running a static HTML pages with pictures on second monitor, clicking on one and send a websocket to change scene on main OBS can be an idea too, but a bit primitive. As well as assign every key of keyboars a camera (or mosaic) to be opened.

Any other chance? Maybe a video surveillance program..

OBS is not security/monitoring software.

I would recommend something suited-for-case, like Zoneminder, which has the sort of functionality you describe.

Unfortunately I havent a pc based on linux for test that :(

I'm looking for a very simple program able to show rtsp streams, it prefereably have a coloumn on the left to choose the main mosaic, the mosaic is a simple grid populated with substreams, and when I click on one camera (in the mosaic) it will open fullscreen using the main stream, then a right mouse click can go back to mosaic mode.
Do you now anything like that? Thank you!

I can reproduce a sort of it with OBS using websockets, and an external device running a static web page with miniatures as links.. a sort of intuitive remotem but it's not really what I?m looking for
