Remote Controlled Streaming Solution Comparison

Solution 1 : Remote pull the action > OBS Web Socket for a remote editor

Use obs ninja and ingest on the remote editor

One of the great features of OBS (Open Broadcaster Software) is the ability to remotely broadcast your content. You can also in take the data with obs.ninja and try to composite it in the editor side

Solution 2 : WebSockets ( Remote pull-push the action )

This is made possible with the use of OBS WebSocket and the popular online broadcasting platform niek.tv. OBS WebSocket allows you to establish a connection between OBS and other devices, which in turn allows you to control OBS remotely. On the other hand, niek.tv is an online service that enables users to easily stream their content to a wider audience. By using these two tools in tandem, you can achieve seamless remote broadcasting without having to be physically present in the same location as your broadcasting equipment. So whether you're a content creator looking to expand your reach or a business looking to conduct remote meetings, OBS WebSocket and niek.tv make the process easier and more efficient.

Closed action

Url > ws://192.168.3.46:4455

Pass > 56gvtqirS9Q3O91a ( dont worry only works with twingate )
