Record screen (Live-Event) from remote PC

[duffy6]

Hi guys,

is it possible to record a Live-Event from a remote PC.

For example:
I am on holidays and have a VPN connection to my home network (Linux and Windows machines) and want to record a Live-Event with video and audio.
I want to iniate this from the remote device.

Any ideas how to do that?

I better describe what I wanna do. I guess I won't work with anydesk.

I want to initiate a recording from my mobile phone on PC@home via VPN.

Example: Login via RDP in my PC@home and start a recordign of an live event AND log-off my mobile while the recoding on my PC@home continues.
I tried this with RDP and obsstudio, but the Audio wasn't recorded.
I guess because the "remote audio"-device wasn't available anymore after logging off (=closing RDP connection).

Know what I want to do?

The issue, as others have previously mentioned is the RDP session and the required graphics capability OBS requires at a minimum.
So, previous recommendation was to use something other than RDP so OBS would work [though previous discussion was around graphics capability vs audio]
Yes, you'd need to configure RDP correctly, if it would work at all [most people use the default, and that won't be optimal in this situation as you noted on audio, so change the config]
On the other hand,
- if the event is on a known schedule, you could use Advanced Scene switcher and automate the recording?
- or my initial thought was to pre-setup OBS, and then use something like websockets to simply trigger OBS remotely (no need to log into OBS PC at all)

that sounds interesting!
to be exakt the "live" event will be a webex meeting music event.
so I think it will be difficult to trigger the login process completly?

i coul also use a linux-VM machine with vnc access! would that be easier?

thank for the great work and the help!

What you need?
remote run streaming from computer located in home
or
send video and audio to computer located in home and streaming?

I streaming many times from computer in home and receive stream from remote location.
Now use two method:
- rtmp, i got own server rtmp with public IP
- webrtc, e.g. vdo.ninja or build own html site (probably in some config need ’turn’ server)

I want to record a webex meeting with desktopPC at home which is running all the time.
But when I am not at home I want to start the recoding with my mobile phone.
I can not schedule the recording because I have to log in to the meeting before.

Know what I mean?

You can use any remote control software to remotely log in to your PC - except rdp, because rdp installs virtual video and audio devices that vanish as soon as you disconnect, so OBS has no device any more to capture from.
A convenient way for remote control is for example https://remotedesktop.google.com/access
Or vnc: https://www.tightvnc.com/
Once you're remotely logged in, start OBS on the remote device and the app you want to record.
