One twitch stream, two gaming PC's right next to each other. I want both of our views on the screen at once, like a picture-in picture and to be able to switch between views like so

My bro and I game right next to each other, with one of our computers doing the streaming

how would I go about doing so?


do I need an AVerMedia capture card?


If I do; explainlikeimfive how I would set it up


I've noticed that streamer "Oshi7" has pretty much what I'm going for



Thanks guys!

A capture card would be the easiest way to do this. There is no special setup required; install the capture card in your PC, clone the second PC's monitor or use a splitter and connect it to the capture card, add the capture card as a video capture source in OBS.

It's possible to do a picture in picture setup without a capture card by using nginx and a lot of tweaking but it will be much more of a headache to deal with sync issues and whatnot since the PIP video will be delayed by several seconds. More information about that solution is at http://www.helping-squad.com/do-a-picture-in-picture-stream-with-obs-and-nginx/

And in the software you'd have two scenes to switch between at will. Scene A would have player1 full and player2 small. Scene B would have player1 small and player2 full.
