Screen recording from another PC into my own OBS?

Good afternoon!

I create this thread here, because I didn't find anything about it in the internet.

My question is quite simple:
Is it possible to add a recording of my friend in OBS in the sources so that I can see his screen?
I stream on twitch and I think it would be cool to see not only my recording screen but also the one of my friend.

best regards

If they are in the same room, you can use a capture device.
If they are in the same building/on the same network (and are on gigabit ethernet), you can use NDI with the obs-ndi plugin to send video from one machine to the other.

After that point, it becomes extremely technical to set up and get working properly; usually also incurring a delay of several seconds, and a significant quality loss due to re-encoding encoded video... and all of those solutions are out-of-scope for OBS Support.
Probably the easiest is to set up an RTMP relay with nginx-rtmp, and import that stream with the VLC Video Source type. It's very technically complex to set up though.
 
My boyfriend is very far away so it doesn't work.
Are there YouTube videos or pages where this is explained?
