Hi everyone. I'm REALLY new at doing live streaming so please pardon my ignorance here. I wan to setup a facebook/youtube broadcast but I don't want to use a crappy webcam so I'm opting to use a DSLR through an Elgato Game Capture HD60 S+. OBS seems to have a lot of features I like but I was wondering if it's possible to do some sort of split-screen with it for remote interviews? I know there are several web services that can do it (like streamyard) but I don't know if any out there that can interface with what I'm trying to do. Any help you guys can provide is appreciated.

But yep, lots of people already do this, it's generally pretty easy.

A VOIP program is an internet voice chat client. Some support just audio and others audio and video.

Skype, Zoom, Google Hangouts, Webex, Mumble, Discord.

NDI is a means of sending high quality audio/video feeds over a local area network. There is a plugin for OBS which allows it to send and receive feeds of this type. Skype can send feeds of this type, and webex and zoom can accept them as input.

DistroAV - Network Audio/Video in OBS-Studio using NDI® technology

This plugin adds simple audio/video input and output over IP using NDI® technology. Three integrations are currently available: - NDI Source: add NDI Sources into OBS like any traditional source - NDI Output: transmit the main program view over...
