    Sounds like you could use https://sonobus.net/ and possibly https://vdo.ninja/ but you might have that already covered with jitsi.

  • Android 14 adds support for using your smartphone as a webcam

    Quite tangential, but during lockdown I was looking for a way to use my iPhone as a webcam and came across this project:

    https://vdo.ninja/

    It started out as being a means to send a video feed into OBS[1], which is how I rigged the webcam input, but as the project grew, it expanded to being a way for me to spin up desktop video and audio sharing in a browser, sorta like Zoom, etc. This let me run virtual movie nights with people remotely.

    Whilst it's possible to use it via the 'create a room' interface, you can also do it all via URL parameters which I found much more flexible and robust. See here[2].

    You create source and recipient URLs and then it just automagically makes it all work via WebRTC. I was able to for example make a source that captured my VLC window and sent out the video and audio, and then two destination URLs which received the source video and audio, but also sent their own audio to one another. This meant we could hear the and watch a movie but also talk to each other via our microphones.

    I've got no relation to this project besides thinking it's really awesome.

  • Streaming Highschool Sports - Need Help and Recommendations
    1 project | /r/obs | 26 Jun 2023
    I plan on streaming highschool sports at my school next year and would like some recommendations on what to do. I have a canon rebel T7I which I plan on using for telephoto shots, a camera for broadcasters, and plan on using my phone and vdo.ninja to get a full field view. We are operating on not the biggest budget because most of it is going towards a laptop. My biggest issue right now is trying to figure out how to make the stream more visually appealing in terms of graphics, sports bugs, and score board overlays. Are there any free programs for that? What do you recommend? Any other feedback or changes you would make in terms of the rest of my plan?

    Our collaboration software might look something like Sonobus and vdo.ninja for live jamming (if we're close enough), Discord or Whatsapp for chatting, maybe Area for reviewing mix-downs, and Bandlab for stem-sharing (Reaper too, if you've got it). I'm open to all suggestions. I'm also interested in learning how to use something like Sonic Sound Picture to do visualisations, or maybe creating AI generated animations, if deciding to upload anything to YT.
