VDO.ninja (formerly known as OBS.ninja) is a quick and easy way to add live video into your OBS production from a smartphone, a tablet or a remote computer. VDO.ninja is totally free and available as a free web service but it can also be customized and deployed on your own private server. The nice thing about VDO.ninja is that it has been designed around the OBS use case and has great documentation on how to use it to bring remote guests into your OBS production. The technology behind VDO.ninja is called WebRTC which is a free and open-source standard for online communications.
To get started you can visit VDO.ninja and Create a Room. When you are creating a room you can decide if you would like the guests to only see the director's video or if you would like the director to appear in scenes. Once you have created the room you will be given a link to invite guests. You will notice the developers have created over 30 ways to customize the guest experience including a pro-audio mode, 1080p 60fps video mode, low-CPU broadcast mode and much more.
While many people may use VDO.ninja to bring in remote guests into their production, the solution can be used for simple IP video solutions such as connecting the video from a smartphone into your OBS production. Here is a short list of use cases.
Allow your mobile device to be used as a wireless remote camera.
Pull in other people's video and audio for podcasting/broadcast (guest appearances)
For sharing high-quality and low-latency audio and video across the Internet and within LANs.
Bring a friend's remote game stream into your OBS and do side-by-side gaming together.
For high-quality audio streaming, including remote DJing
Wirelessly stream video from any pro camera using just a $10 Raspberry Pi and HDMI adapter.
For sending any streaming-data peer-to-peer over the Internet in a few lines of code, including JSON.
Use as a remote low-latency teleprompter feed.
Recording remote or local video at high quality without needing any downloads.

[@OnlineAutoRepairVideos]

I've been up for HOURS searching for a simple video for how to add guest to ABS, and I must say, your channel has far less subscribers than it should, GREAT AND SIMPLE INSTRUCTIONS!!! Too many people want to try and explain the additional features while explaining how to add a guest, but you went right to why we clicked on, and just BRIEFLY told us about MANY other features without actually diving into them, THANK YOU!! NOW I'M GETTING THE BOOK!

[@melechhaarayot9273]

YES! I Ordered my OBS Super User guide book from Amazon! It will arrive today!

[@StreamGeeks]

Awesome. I think you will enjoy it.

[@ivanh3]

Would love to see a presentation regarding VDO.NINJA audio setup.

[@jefflb1961]

I can add a guest to my FB Live podcast through OBS, but my guests don't see me. Do I need to somehow dedicate my own camera to VDO Ninja and copy the entire thing somehow to a scene in OBS and do everything from VDO Ninja? Not sure how to do this. Very new to all of this.

[@RoboPredaTerminAlien]

So I did the exact same thing, instead all that shows up is JOIN ROOM WITH CAMERA and SCREENSHARE WITH ROOM buttons instead of the room

[@dominuskelvin]

Definitely buying the OBS super user guide. Thanks for this video

[@originalimmigration]

Can guests see host on their device ?

[@gaspoment]

You talked about using this solution to use a mobile phone as a remote camera, pls what's the latency like?

[@IvanSDizon460]

Should I tell my invite guest to check box 3:36 the no audio too? Or select his audio of his choice?

[@That80sroom]

Just use stream yard. The overly complex setup will have to be redone every stream. Its just a headache

[@KT-hx2ul]

The video transmitted is poor - bitrate/compression needs to be better. Do you have a better method for doing this?

[@MrKamergz]

just tried it, also have the same problems with video quality

[@VIKINGOFNORWAY]

problem is when i use this the guest cant see the messages in the room from youtube

[@pigskinpoetry]

I think when you have your KZbin account connected, there's a way to toggle the chat on in OBS.

[@thedadwars]

How is the image and sound quality with VDO.Ninja compared to a Zoom or Skype call?

[@StreamGeeks]

That's a good question. Skype has traditionally been better than Zoom but Zoom has gotten a lot better and you can enable HD. VDO.Ninja gives you a whole lot more flexibility and control over the video. So, without doing a side-by-side comparison, my guess is VDO.Ninja has the best quality.

[@thedadwars]

@@StreamGeeks Thanks for the quick reply! I appreciate you and the information that you bring. 🙏

[@ghost-user559]

@@StreamGeeks Have you heard anything about the PayPal issue being reported by one of these comments? They say the application is trying to open PayPal without permission on guest phones? Did they get hacked or is the company being shady?

[@StreamGeeks]

@@ghost-user559 I haven't heard or experienced anything like this other than this one comment I know nothing about it. It's totally unconfimed.

[@ghost-user559]

@@StreamGeeks Thank you for your fast response. On my phone the other individual who says they experienced this had the top comment on the video. They said they used it for a long time but suddenly this behavior started happening. I wonder if the company or their site might be under attack by malware. Only one way to find out lol. I’ll have to test it out myself.

[@astvideotv]

thanks for the review. But I can't with VDO.ninja, send the final OBS video stream to a remote smartphone live. How to do it ?

[@TESSALACOMBATTANTE]

I can tell you watch Michael's video, with your intro is the exact words he says. I'm sure why your video came up but let's take a look.

[@alg857_7]

Great vid. I've been using Skype for my live podcasts but I'll happily switch to VDO Ninja if it could do this one thing. Does VDO Ninja allow me to record multiple guests audio channels individually within OBS? No matter how many guests I have using Skype, all guest audio channels are grouped into a single channel. Much appreciated ✌

[@KillianWargear1921]

Yes

[@rud]

Interesting. We have had a lot of problems keeping the video synced to the audio with NDI from Skype. Managed to fix it but now my CPU load is too high while gaming and running obs and Skype in the back. Oh well. Guess it is time for a bigger cpu 😂

[@melechhaarayot9273]

they teach a dual pc method that may work

[@ShameemNaz-tc6yl]

Xx

[@poeticgeenetikstv4672]

Where does all this data and information. Because it is going somewhere. And how long is it kept. ALSO MAKE SURE TO TELL PEOPLE THAT THEY ARE SHARING THEIR IP ADDRESS WITH ALLLLLL THESE PEOLE!!

[@AmericasMind]

OMG! Thaaaank you’

[@ShaneGreaves1]

Is anyone else having issues with choppy and laggy audio? Because i'm struggling to find the root cause and solution.

[@alvinbiblechurch344]

Video is easy with the virtual camera! The problem is AUDIO!!!!!!!

[@RandyReviews1990]

i assumed this was like early 2000 chat room pick a room and start chatting i must of been wrong!

[@Jaakeup]

Be careful with VDO ninja now. It used to be fine but now it randomly opens up my Paypal app on my phone automatically. All I'm saying is I'm glad I wasn't signed in or else who knows what it would've tried to do.

[@ghost-user559]

Does it do it every time? Is there a donation checkbox somewhere? A lot of freeware sometimes has annoying donation pop ups. I wonder if it’s them, if there’s a setting that you need to turn off, or if they got hacked.

[@Jaakeup]

@@ghost-user559 I use it on my galaxy s5 and it's basically barebones on there. Literally just 4 options "Screen, front camera, back camera, and screen + Camera" There's no settings or options on the app. The only thing you can customize is the url to copy into OBS. I uninstalled Paypal just to be safe. It only started doing it a couple days ago and it launched Paypal every time after a few minutes of being on. After uninstalling Paypal, it stopped.

[@scottmagee3113]

Thought it was called OBS NINJA
