Question / Help Sending two computers to one stream

[kolodude]

Hey everyone!

My friend and I are trying to stream both of our webcams and have the background switch between our game clients every so often. Is there any way to have this done? I'm referring to something like the "Desktop Presenter" in "Wirecast for YouTube" that lets you connect and stream another person's desktop.

Thanks,
Kolo

are you using a third machine for the main stream? OBS has no direct support for network sources atm.

We can be using a third machine. How would you recommend setting the stream up? Basically, right now we're just doing a single stream. My friend has his OBS open with the software (desktop) streamer, the game (LoL) stream over it, and then the video (webcam) capture on top of everything. We are trying to get my webcam to always be on with his (in a different position obviously), and be able to switch back and forth between the game streams.

in order for all of the videos to be in sync each of you should stream the game to a dummy channel the third computer can then open those channels in 2 /popout windows you can use inner window capture with aero on to capture both windows then edit the scene so you can hide url and stuff.. as for the cams you can get those from a skype call and use the sub region capture to import them into obs aswell .
