LINKS (GUEST INVITES & SCENES)Click Here for a quick overview and help
Welcome. This is the director's control-room for the group-chat.
You can host a group chat with friends using a room. Share the blue link to invite guests who will join the chat automatically.
Known Limitations with Group Rooms:
A group room can handle up to around 30 guests, depending on numerous factors, including CPU and available bandwidth of all guests in the room. To achieve more than around 7-guests though, you will likely want to disable video sharing between guests. Using &broadcast, &roombitrate=0 or &novideo are options there.
Videos will appear of low quality on purpose for guests and director; this is to save bandwidth and CPU resources. It will be high-quality within OBS still though.
The state of the scenes, such as which videos are active in a scene, are lost when the director resets the control-room or the scene.
Further Notes:
Links to Solo-views of each guest video are offered under videos as they load. These can be used within an OBS Browser Source.
You can use the auto-mixing Group Scenes, the green links, to auto arrange multiple videos for you in OBS.
You can use this control room to record isolated video or audio streams, but it is an experimental feature still.
If you transfer a guest from one room to another, they won't know which room they have been transferred to.
OBS will see a guest's video in high-quality; the default video bitrate is 2500kbps. Setting higher bitrates will improve motion.
VP8 is typically the default video codec, but using &codec=vp9 or &codec=h264 as a URL in OBS can help to reduce corrupted video puke issues.
&stereo=2 can be added to guests to turn off audio effects, such as echo cancellation and noise-reduction.
https://invite.cam is a free service provided that can help obfuscuate the URL parameters of an invite link given to guests.
Adding &showonly=SOME_OBS_VIRTUALCAM to the guest invite links allows for only a single video to be seen by the guests; this can be output of the OBS Virtual Camera for example
For advanced URL options and parameters, see the Wiki.
