Hi all!! I'm trying to set up a fun little live stream with multiple guests.
All of the suggestions say to use Skype via NDI into OBS. So, I tried... and tried.... and tried...

Skype will not populate in my NDI dropdown tab. I made it work once... now I can't. So.... I'll go through my steps:

Uninstall Skype (however, i cannot uninstall Skype for business.... doesn't show up on the Apps thing in windows)
Download OBS >>> Install OBS
Download NDI Runtime 4.5.1 for windows >>> Install
Download OBS-NDI-4.9.0 Installer >>> Install
Download Skype V8.79 from the windows site, NOT the Windows Store >>> Install
Open Skype, go to calling>>advanced>>> switch on NDI. Did this for 3 computers in the house, so I can call them to test it.
Call another computer, start the videos
Open OBS
Make a scene, open a source, NDI >>> options and.... nothing. - There is literally nothing in the dropdown menu for sources.

Trouble shooting: Tried three versions of Skype. Tried opening OBS first, last. Tried Direct calls, tried a "meet me" meeting. Nothing works
However, lots of other people have made this work....
So... what am I doing wrong?
Please help
