Windows VM on GCP Cloud

[dramosl]

Hello good afternoon, I have a VM on the Google Cloud Platform that I will broadcast a live for a few months, I configured OBS everything OK and I was able to perfectly broadcast the live on youtube.

But I would like to close the RDP session of my VM from the cloud and the live should continue, but when I close the RDP of the virtual machine, the live is all dark, as if the obs had closed, but when I enter the VM again, the live broadcasts normally again.

I decided to use the cloud because the live will be running for quite some time, but this way it looks like I have to have another computer to keep the RDP session open.

Does anyone have any suggestions or solutions for this case?

The perfect scenario would be for me to start broadcasting the live in OBS Studio on the machine that is on the GCP, and leave it there transmitting, after that close the RDP connection and the live remains transmitting.

Thank you very much for your time and attention.

If you search this forum you will find discussion on how RDP creates a virtual GPU, so when you close RDP session, OBS stopping is to be expected. [I'm re-phrasing].

Your options, from memory, is to leave RDP session up, or use something other than RDP. Other threads list a number of options with varying prices (free to pricey) and features/optimization/performance

"or use something other than RDP"

Thank you for your time and for your reply.
When you said something other than RDP, I could only think of Anydesk and Teamviewer, but I tested both and they showed the same problem, when closing the RDP connection, teamviewer went dark and anydesk also went dark.

Is there any other paid or free software that you recommend as an alternative?

Or did I miss something regarding using anydesk and teamviewer?

Thank you very much for your reply.

There are LOTS of options... VNC, RemotePC, and a long list...

did you miss something... probably... the issue of a remote viewer application that creates its own virtual desktop (which many applications use to optimize remote performance).
