Question / Help Streaming from two computers

Hey all.

I'm doing 24-hours of streaming tomorrow for Extra-Life. I've finally resolved most of the issues I've had, but now I've had a last second idea I'd like to implement and i'm not sure if there's a quick, easy solution for it.

There will be gaming going on in two places. Which isn't a problem, except that I'd like to be able to capture video from the laptop downstairs and add it to my main computer's stream when streaming from the main computer.

I have OBS on both computers and I can stop and start streaming on both of them for individual stream setups. Now I want to figure out how to combine two.

Computer 1 can do the streaming.

For computer 2, try the same settings as my screenshot, but change the ip address to whatever computer 1 is. Then press the record button, it won't actually record to file, but the setting in the screenshot should send UDP audio+video packets to computer 1.

For computer 1, add media source, "Local file" unchecked, and input: udp://0.0.0.0:1234

Thanks. Trying this right now. Having some difficulties, but, trying to make sure of a few things before I post any issues.

Log file from the other computer? Check if the main computer is actually receiving data using task manager network usage.

To fix a tiny red dot, right click media source, transform, stretch to screen.

You need to use the computer 1's IP address in the record settings from computer 2 record setting, not 127.0.0.1. Windows IPConfig command may show it, so does right clicking adapter settings, status.

Also might need to change windows firewall to allow OBS to send and recrive.
