Hi, internet!

So my question is a relatively simple one, but I'll provide a bit of detail;

My husband and I both like to stream in our free time, and we both use his computer since my 'main' machine is his ooold gaming laptop. He streams during the day, I stream at night while he's at work. We don't mind sharing the same machine, but it's getting rather tedious and annoying to have to constantly switch stream keys and OBS settings back and forth.

I've tried installing OBS on a flash drive, but it simply pulls all the settings and scenes from my husband's hard-drive. Is there any way to set up two completely separate installs?

You could just use Profiles? This way you can setup a Profile for you and your husband and just switch by clicking on profile and selecting the one you need. If I understood your issues correctly.

This would eliminate changing Settings and Streamkeys etc. configure once and then just simple switching between profiles since you probably wont stream simultaneously
