    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
    7 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 21 Sep 2023
    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?
  • [LFG] Looking for older amateur/beginners in Europe for stoner rock
    3 projects | /r/BedroomBands | 24 Jun 2023
    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.

    Yes, use VDO.Ninja, it's the best option for 1080p. I use it especially in combination with my VDON-Call (see https://github.com/rse/vdon-call), a small VDO.Ninja wrapper to act as a convenient vMix-Call alternative.
  • VDON Call: external NDI-based remote caller ingest for OBS Studio via VDO.Ninja
    2 projects | /r/obs | 20 Mar 2022
    Hence, I wanted an alternative solution for both vMix and OBS Studio to bring in remote callers. So, I've crafted together a solution I now named "VDON Call" and which I share as Open Source with you under https://github.com/rse/vdon-call. It uses an opinioned VDO.Ninja parameterization and a special companion OBS Studio profile and scene collection to allow up to 8 remote callers to be ingested into a video production (each with camera and content) and to deliver back a return feed of the video production's program. All this is running just fine on a medium gaming PC, separate to the one doing the video production itself. For an illustration of the solution, just see the screenshots under https://github.com/rse/vdon-call.
  • VDON Call: Remote Caller Ingest via VDO.Ninja & OBS Studio instead of vMix Call

    But, the swiss army knifes VDO.Ninja and OBS Studio to the rescue! I've crafted together a solution I now named "VDON Call" and which I share as Open Source with you under https://github.com/rse/vdon-call. It uses an opinioned VDO.Ninja parameterization and OBS Studio configuration to allow up to 8 remote callers (with both camera and shared content) to be ingested into your vMix video production (via NDI) again.
