Running Two OBS for Two Streams Simultaneously

[FrogSpawns]

Basically, need to have two streams live at the same time on the same computer. So I know I can run multiple instances at once, which is what I would do, but can you use the same sources on both instances?

For example, I need my camera (camlink) to be able running on both instances at the same time, is that possible?

You should be able to use the same source from multiple OBS instances, the only exception are "video capture device" sources, i. e. webcams and capture devices. Its possible to access such a device from a single app at the same time only. This is a Windows limitation, not a limitation of OBS.

You can use NDI to send signal from one instance to any other.
