Quest for suggestions using OBS, Skype and Zoom with participants and Guests

[huogas]

Hi

I'm a "normal" user of OBS. I mean that I can use many cameras, cast and record images.
I had also used OBS.ninja to add additional images from some remote areas.

Now I am asked to host/manage a quite large virtual meeting using Zoom (thats's almost mandatory). There could be more that 130 participants, plus about 8-9 presenters.
I tried to do it using mainly Zoom, but it's not easy at all, and there is a lot of things that I cannot do. Last time I also used OBS to feed one video in Zoom in order to display an introduction and a credit page.

I would like to do something better and easier to manage. Now I think that I can use OBS.ninja to connect the guests (presenters), and/or also Skype . At this time I consider that it would make the things easier to use Skype instead of OBS.Ninja, but I don't know. I need somes advices from more experimented users. By doing it with OBS, I would be in total control on what I display, and how I display it (side by side guets, superscripts, etc).

Also, and it's maybe the difficult part, the "guests"-presenters would also like to be "part of the game" and see the action as do other Zoom participants. How can I achieve this goal ? I suspect that there are many ways to go there but my actual knowledge is not good enough to identify the best possible alternatives.

Could you help me ?

Thanks for your help,

Gaston

What if you just hosted a Zoom meeting with the presenters in realtime and then used OBS to capture the A/V inputs from it then stream it LIVE via RMTP (e.g. to youtube/facebook/vimeo etc...)? Everyone could then join the stream to "see the game" at their leisure.

A more involved hosting might look like this, 3-4 computer screens required:
Screen 1(or window): OBS Preview Program (use as your webcam when you aren't presenting so the presenters can see the stream in realtime by looking at your video)
Screen 2: Zoom Session, presenters share their desktops during their presentations
Screen 3: A screen reserved for whatever you need to share
Screen 4: OBS (1 scene to share the Program Preview, shares the screen or window, 1 scene to share the Zoom Session(shares the screen, x number of scenes to overlay on top or manipulate the first two.)
output the stream out to a streaming server for attendees (this could be another zoom meeting if you wanted)
