Hello,
is it possible to stream to 2 (or more) PCs in the same LAN using OBS?

Thanks and best regards
Stefan

If you connect via \ wifi cable through a router, you will need to either open ports 5960-5961 or enable the DMZ function in the router or make port forwarding

Hi,
thanks.

I'm "only" using switches... So I don't have to forward anything, do I?

Ehm, is is possible to use this (https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/obs-studio-send-an-udp-stream-to-a-second-pc-using-obs.455/) method and use multicast?

Of course, you can try this, but NDI is much simpler and more convenient than any analogs other than capture cards

Thanks, just to get i right: I do still need a capture card to get the camera picture on the laptop in realtime?!?

No, use NDI and not have problem this )
