Stream OBS to chrome tab so I can present screen from Google Meet

[RicohLA]

Hi, I want to ask something that kinda complex.

I have a google meeting that requires an OBS presentation in order to make it look official. And I have been using YouTube Live as my source of screen presentation and ofc, I faced a latency issues. However, I ever saw one time google chrome can open video and files, I want to stream my OBS directly to chrome tabs so I can present screen on Google Meet with OBS.

You can use the virtual webcam for OBS to feed the OBS output directly to Google Meeting: https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/obs-virtualcam.949/
If you want to just display the OBS output on your screen, go with a projector: Right-click the OBS preview area->Fullscreen Projector (Preview) or Windowed Projector.

Okay... quick question, does it also stream audio output

Welp. I failed successfully. JK, I did it, audio and video can be seen and heard by participant in GMEET but I got a gigantic problem now.
Video and audio quality and latency is not acceptable when using it as webcam and virtual mic. However, I believe since GMeet share chrome tabs and audio with great quality, I really believe if OBS can stream to browser or use browser as output monitor for both video and audio is possible,, everything will be perfect for ultra low latency screen presentation. But I'm new here, so.... IDK. The only best worst way to do it is to stream to youtube and present it in chrome tabs with 4 second is the lowest latency I can get.
Still... I wonder if we can stream directly to browser or if its a must to have RTMP server...

I have exactly the same problem. I also tried Youtube live. What I did for the mean time is to project the screen to my other monitor and present it to google but the biggest problem is the FPS. It's so laggy. There's no streaming platform that is providing zero latency so we can use Chrome Tab to present.

Did someone find a way to send the OBS stream directly to Chorme's tab?

Nope. But I found a better way.

Hey, i have the same exact prob here... Could you tell us how ?? Would appreciate it bro, thank you !

Same issue here. Sending the output to a Google tab could work, but, @RicohLA, what did you figure out?
Thnaks!

Bump. Does anyone know of a simple low latency way to send the OBS output to a Chrome tab? @RicohLA, what did you figure out?
Thanks!

Hi, can you expand your answer.
SpaceDesk is the software from this web (https://www.spacedesk.net/) ??
VB Cable is this (https://vb-audio.com/Cable/)

With spacedesk, how do you get your transmission out directly to a chrome's tab??

thanks

I've been using VAC for a good long while and love it. I haven't heard of spacedesk before today, and am setting it up now to give it a shot. With that said (for visibility's sake) are you able to share any other info about what you had to do to get it working? How you've got it set up, whether or not there are any considerations around software price or hardware needs? Reliability issues? Etc etc

It's a shame that googling your exactly use case (trying to stream with audio to a Google Meet presentation) is mostly results from almost a decade ago.
