Dude!!! You are the first one I've found who talks about what the Guest see on their side of the of VDO and how to set that up! Nice Job! Big thumbs up!!!🤩

[@LiveProductionTips]

Thank you. Glad enjoyed the Tutorial

[@goddessoftruth]

Your tutorials are awesome! They are the perfect pace and easy to follow. Many other creator tutorials they just talk and move the pace so quickly that it is a bit overwhelming. Keep up the good work!

This brother knows his 💩. Thank brother learning a lot. Just started using obs this week and I love it.

[@LiveProductionTips]

@@DANNYBLVCK OBS is amazing. Keep learning you will be amazed by what’s possible with OBS

[@DANNYBLVCK]

@@LiveProductionTips yes sir!!

[@basspig]

Vdo works like magic. You can also leave the video frame open and it will not appear or create any artifacts on the live feed when no remote cell phone is connecting. And then when you connect a remote cell phone it just pops up and there it is like magic even on 4G from halfway across the world. And the quality is pretty impressive if you have a good quality phone with a decent camera. The big game changer is the persistent URL now. In the early days of this every time you start it up you got a different URL and you had to update OBS every time but now they have a persistent URL and every time you start video on your phone your feed will come up on obs automatically.

[@LiveProductionTips]

Yes having the same URL actually makes it like any other streaming platform with a built in guest feature. Someone logs in and shows up in your OBS scene it’s amazing. Thanks for sharing your experience with VDO ninja

[@basspig]

@@LiveProductionTips it's a game-changer, now that it supports a persistent URL. I used it today while downtown to stream back to OBS and it just works, no glitches.

Great video. Few videos on this feature of the VDO. 2 Questions please: 1. Wondering why you did not set your audio from the OBS settings directly. In which case, your audio is available for your entire stream. 2. Also wondering why you didn't utilise the SCENE IMPORT feature of OBS to mix your scenes, rather than copying and pasting references of the sources?

[@LiveProductionTips]

Good questions. For Audio I like to have multiple Audio sources as separately as possible that way I have better control but feel free to do it another way just be careful not to create a situation where you have echoes… or feedback. Ex. If your audio is mixed with your guests audio, remember that you have to monitor your guests audio which means you listen to yourself as well that would cause some major inconfort since OBS has a slight delay plus you risk having a lot of feedback. So do your testing and see what works for you. Q2. You could import or copy paste it’s the same, either way you get the same results.

[@NahidHossain]

Awesome, I knew VDO ninja from it's start days but your explanation is awesome. For future tutorial making if you need someone to play as a guest please ping me. I will be happy to assist you brother. What is the use of electron capture? I think I can use VDO ninja link directly on OBS instead.

[@LiveProductionTips]

@@NahidHossain Awesome I appreciate that. Back when I made the video there was stability issues with direct browser links in OBS hence the need for electron capture. But now it has been fixed so you can user the link directly.

[@NahidHossain]

@@LiveProductionTips Yes I tried again and it works fine. Before this people used to use NDI from Skype for hd production, I also have a video on zoom guests. You are welcome to watch that video. Though it is in my language (bn) you can see and understand how struggle was made.

[@orderlychaos9128]

Great video. I would also like to know how you bring in someone's desktop monitor for screen sharing on my OBS as well?

[@LiveProductionTips]

Thank you. With video ninja your guest is able to share their screen with you. You may need to re-adjust your overlays in OBS to accommodate that though

[@silasbodiba1877]

[@downunderprepparedness]

Any reason you dont use the browser source in OBS? it renders fine for me in testing and aslong as you remember to click the allow audio button will give you a clean version of their audio in recordings etc.

[@LiveProductionTips]

Yes you could do it with just the browser source with VDO ninja however that method is not stable. You may loose signal time to time that’s why Steve created electron capture. With electron capture you are also able to drag the video into a new window, have it full screen which is awesome for monitoring. But if t works well for your setup feel free to use it

[@downunderprepparedness]

@@LiveProductionTips before i do some testing you experienced that recently? Saw on the electron releases was obs .26 and now up to .28 beta rc1 .. so obs browser gotten much better since then.

[@Wolfs_cryptoden]

I've watched a few videos on the hook up between VDO and OBS but most of them go directly between the 2. What is the benefit of adding Electron capture. Thanks

[@LiveProductionTips]

Back in the day this wasn’t stable it kept losing signal but now it has been fixed you can bypass electron capture. I am working on an update video

[@Llimton850]

Would I do create a video overlay if I want the remote vidieo source to be small and at the the top right hand corner of my livestream? So If I want my guest to be a small window and my video taking up the rest of the video screen, I wouljd create overlay like you did in your video with the side by side video?

[@LiveProductionTips]

Yes you can create an overlay and resize the camera feeds to your liking to fit the overlay. It’s 💯 possible

[@studionimba]

I watched your video from start to end. I understood everything you explained. One question How can we bring Mutiple guests into OBS using the Electron software. Let say we have 3 guests?

[@LiveProductionTips]

You can open multiple instances of electron capture and bring everyone in separately with a solo link or you can use a group link and bring everyone in with one window

[@studionimba]

@@LiveProductionTips Thank you I was able to do it before I saw your timely reply. There is another problem. I am playing a music on my computer; I want my guests to be able to hear the music. I have added audio Input and Output, yet my guests cannot hear the music. But they can hear me when I speak through the mic.

[@LiveProductionTips]

@@studionimba that will take some routing skills basically it’s what you send to them so you can choose to send just the mic or any other input in your case you may need something like voice meter banana where you will send your mic and music into one virtual input and send that input to the guest

I am working on a concept that will be panel discussions with a maximum of 6 participants including myself. If a participant does not want to use their camera and prefers to use an avatar of some sort is there a method in VDO Ninja for them to set that up? I know it can be done in StreamYards.

[@LiveProductionTips]

@@goddessoftruth they can turn their camera off there will be just the default image. If they have OBS they can setup the avatar manually and send a virtual camera from OBS as their camera feed into VDO ninja

[@ChimwemweNamanya]

My sound has a lot of feed back but it's working, should I use VB cables?

[@LiveProductionTips]

Check the feed you are sending to the guest ( make sure it’s just your mic ) and make sure they are not using loud speakers to listen, check in video ninja also any unnecessary doubled tracks or in OBS you should be ok

[@raymondmontalvo3251]

This is gold!! Thank you!! Is there a way that the guest could also hear the sound and music of the OBS scenes?

[@LiveProductionTips]

Yes it’s possible but you will need to do some routing. If you used Voice meter it would be perfect

[@thehiddenmeanings]

@@DanofEarth Hi Dan, thanks for the offer. I’m on vacation now and left my laptop at home! But I had opened a Canva template into Photoshop with the goal of making the two boxes transparent so that I can overlay in OBS and my two interview subjects will been seen through the box overlays. Just like Sam’s very cool demo. When you open a file into PS it automatically creates a layer. I was able to use one of the tools (forget which one) to draw a box and delete that area for the transparency. That worked. When I tried to repeat the step for the 2nd box, it would not delete. Seems to me It should work the same. Did I leave out a step?

[@DanofEarth]

@@thehiddenmeanings so in the layers tab you’d want to make sure the layer is rasterized. To do this right click the layer in the layers tab, and choose rasterize layer from the menu. You should then be able to mark the Area you want removed with the layer selected

[@thebreakingbird]

After using electronic capture’ how do i go back to obs because iam stuck from there!! I dont have room of obs with those two screens

[@LiveProductionTips]

Once you can see your guest’s image in electron capture you just go to OBS you don’t need to copy any link, you simply add a New *Window Capture Source and select *electron capture, that’s all.. whatever is in electron capture it will show up in OBS

[@jonyskids]

Trying to use this setup for a KZbin Live Stream with two other participants. Appreciate your setup. In testing I noticed that on KZbin, the stream was about 25 seconds delayed. Is this normal?

[@LiveProductionTips]

Yes the delay is normal. It’s the time OBS takes to send the encoded data / on KZbin side as well the time to receive the data. In some cases it can even be more than 25 seconds so don’t worry about it.

I want to play a video. how do I share the audio with the guests of that playback video? Everything that I though it would bring their voices again into them. Only way that i though was to use another computer and just have there only the playback of videos.

Congratulations on your stream hahahaha everything is about testing you will get it right eventually.

It depends on how you use the phone. Is it you or your guest using the phone ? If it’s you it could e the way you are bringing it into OBS.

Hi there, great job on the video! Question though, does this allow to record 4k video of the other person? I believe by screen capturing the video resultion might be 4k if you screen capture on a 4k screen, however this will not be the best possible video quality right? So recording locally on each side would be better right? How can this be done for free?

[@LiveProductionTips]

If you set everything in 4K in OBS and get the guest to send a 4K feed it’s possible but I don’t remember if VDO ninja will support a 4K resolution. Plus your internet is at play here so the other way is to let the guest locally record and you do the same on your end

[@robinwieske182]

@@LiveProductionTips Thanks. Guess I will have to get a 4k Monitor first. My OBS only gives me an FHD canvas.

[@LiveProductionTips]

@@robinwieske182 you don’t need to have a 4K monitor to record in 4K unless you are focusing on a screen recording. You will have to manually type in the resolution in the base canvas tab and make sure all you capture cards and scenes are set in 4. If you record a screen OBS is simply going to upscale it to 4K. Technically it’s not true 4K but It will allow you to record you camera feed and everything else in 4K. If you have questions let me know I have a video about it

I may have multiple audio sources and some audio that was being recorded for the sake of making this tutorial. However depending on your routing your would have your guest audio, your audio and system’s audio for when you are playing back some music or videos. In my case I usually bring the guests’ audio through System’s audio and keep my mic separate. The choice is yours really!!

[@moneyfesteer]

why use electron capture and not use browser source with link? we tested yesterday but when a guest exits by chance and you have to re-add, the link changes which is messy. I also cannot send virtual camera from the control panel, can only share my OBS screen which is a bit tiny for the guest. Sharing Virtual Cam would be much prefered.

[@LiveProductionTips]

Electron capture is supposed to make the connection more stable, Steve created it because people were having issues with ninja link into OBS, maybe it got better if you test it and it works no need to use electron capture. By the way you can also create the re-usable link which would make it in a way that if a new guests joined their would appear automatically in OBS as long as it’s the same link. Also OBS virtual cam works well that’s what I send to my guests

[@moneyfesteer]

@@LiveProductionTips Yeah great, I found the reusable link already and it works great. No need to edit scenes etc. I'll test the electron capture. That also works with the reusable link? Though you would have to boot it separately every time I assume to paste the link into it. In my case, VDO ninja control panel doesn't show the option to send OBS virtual cam even after its running in OBS. It only shows one camera option.

[@LiveProductionTips]

@@moneyfesteer after you paste the electron capture into OBS as a window capture, every time you start OBS and electron capture is running wherever link you have ( in your case a re-usable link from VDO ninja) should show up in electron capture/ in OBS as well. So when a guest joins it’s automatic. For virtual cam, make sure the virtual Cam is enabled in OBS, it will show up in VDO ninja as a camera option

[@MarkvanderMade_Official]

I am wondering why you use Electron Capture while you could just copy the solo link of the ninja group room into a browser source inside OBS. Any reason for this I missed?

[@LiveProductionTips]

Back then using just a browse source link from VDO ninja wasn’t reliable, you could have some drop offs in OBS time to time that’s why Steeve invented Electron capture. Also Electron capture gives you a cleaner Full screen feed that you can drag to any monitor. Other than that without it you can still achieve good results. Up to you to test and see what works best for you

The cleaner image is recorded in the camera and Color graded, the flatter image is a usb webcam output from the Atem that’s ( for demonstration purposes) not processed that’s why there is a deference.

Hello I watched this video to learn about video ninja. I have it all set up and working the only problem I’m having is if I’m showing my guess a KZbin video they can’t hear it. Can you help me out I’m using OBS.

[@LiveProductionTips]

You need to send to have the guest’s audio through systems audio and make sure the system’s audio is being sent out to the stream

Very nice

I do live streams on KZbin but I have an audio podcast so how would I be able to get the audio from the video that I recorded?

[@LiveProductionTips]

You can record a copy through OBS

[@MovieLoversUnite]

@@LiveProductionTips I am new to OBS but do you have a video for that by chance. I am trying to get out of doing live streams with Streamyards and invite two of my other co hosts into OBS.

[@LiveProductionTips]

@@MovieLoversUnite it’s really easy next to the “Stream button” there is a * Record button in OBS. if you need assistance feel free to reach out: [e-mail]

I am trying this VDO Ninja and it is no problem to login from my mobile and my Samsung Galay Tab, But when I want to show it in OBS, then I get black screen, It is no problem with Skype or Games. I have tryed grafphic setting to change in the bin obs 64 bit. But it is still black screen. What can I do more to fix this problem?

[@LiveProductionTips]

Are you using Electron capture ?

[@Bergerheim]

@@LiveProductionTips I have it, but I missed this step in how to use it. Now I have done as you show, to paste the link into Electrone capture. It work but I missed and closed it two times and had to do the install process evey time I want to start it up from my desktop. Is it not possible to start it like all other apps and softwaere like OBS for example?

[@LiveProductionTips]

@@Bergerheim awesome. On the website there 2 versions. The portable one which is the one I have on the desktop and the one you can install on your computer. Feel free to experiment with it. I personally like the portable one

[@Bergerheim]

@@LiveProductionTips I installed it on the computer and now it working perfect. But it is lagging like it is to low speed in the signal.

[@LiveProductionTips]

@@Bergerheim How is your internet speed ?

[@LorneVignettes]

How do you share your desktop audio with your guest? I have 2 interfaces for audio so I can share it that way but there has to be another easier way to do that if you only have 1 audio interface.

[@LiveProductionTips]

Avoid to share your desktop audio to the guest because they will send it back to you and it will create a looping effect. However if you understand and your guests understands what you want to achieve you can use voice meter banana plugin that would help you choose which audio source to send to the guest and they could to the same. The goal is to avoid any feedback from each other… I hope this helps

[@LorneVignettes]

@@LiveProductionTips Yeah. The way I send my audio to my guest is I have a 16ch mixer which I set as my interface/desktop audio. Then my control Room left&right outputs I run into my Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 which is my interface that sends my signal to the world. I just wanted to have it to where my guest could be on a separate obs channel. I'm going to check out that voice meter program. Thanks for the information.

[@LiveProductionTips]

@@LorneVignettes cool. You should be able to do it in my opinion. You just need to play with your routing a little, make sure you send something that wouldn’t cause any feedback. Also do some testing with different guests and see. Keep in mind with VDO ninja you can control your guests audio inputs as well.. Voice meter is like a virtual mixer but with all the hardware you have you should be ok. Let me know how it goes. Have fun 🤩

[@LorneVignettes]

@@LiveProductionTips What's weird with VDO Ninja is if I set my output the same interface as my input there is an echo on the guest voice so I have to set the output to another interface that I'm not using. When you start doing this stuff it can really test your brains ability to understand the routing of your signals. 😂. I've had my own little recording studio for a very long time and understand how to record an entire band track by track. Online broadcasting can get very technical. Lol

[@LiveProductionTips]

@@LorneVignettes haha 😂 it’s a fun game

[@EduardoPhilippePhoto]

Can i run Electron how many times? I just need to capture the image. And I don’t need to send my image or audio for the “guests”. So, if it’s possible to open Electron many times, I must just add scenes and “capture windows”. Right?

[@LiveProductionTips]

I believe you could open multiple windows of electron capture. Please do some testing but I believe I have captured 2 windows at the same time in the past

[@EduardoPhilippePhoto]

@@LiveProductionTips I’ll do it, and I’ll come back to tell you (and help others users).

[@LiveProductionTips]

@@EduardoPhilippePhoto awesome. I appreciate that. As I said I have captured 2 windows max so far so It would be awesome to know how many windows you were able to capture

[@EduardoPhilippePhoto]

@@LiveProductionTips Hi, guys! One of my teammate have tested the Electron in many instances. More than two. It works!

[@LiveProductionTips]

@@EduardoPhilippePhoto awesome thanks for your insight

[@amirshelli]

Why aren't you using the browser source on OBS instead....?

[@LiveProductionTips]

Back then it wasn’t reliable it would loose the signal time to time but now OBS has improved you can try and if you have no issues, if you do then go back to electron capture

[@NicoleRoensch]

When I have a guest share their screen on VDO ninja, on OBS and KZbin it looks blurry. Any tips?

[@LiveProductionTips]

Could be the guest internet ? How is the guests picture ?

[@NicoleRoensch]

@@LiveProductionTips The guest picture is crystal clear and internet looks to be stable

[@LiveProductionTips]

@@NicoleRoensch then I have to check for myself I have never had a guest share a screen.

[@NicoleRoensch]

@@LiveProductionTips That'd be amazing! We were able to do a work around of having the screen share on zoom in full screen on my laptop while everything else is on my monitor. Was clear but not convenient and the sound was a little weird that way.

[@LiveProductionTips]

@@NicoleRoensch also you can try bringing in the screen as guest in a separate tab, so they would get a link and and join with a screen share only, that was you have that in a separate tab. I will test and see

[@LiveProductionTips]

As many as you internet can handle. Realistically after you add more than 4 people I would suggest getting another way to send only the group scene to the guests and avoid each guest to send each other’s video.

Everything is ok.. But. Unwanted explaining things makes me confused........ how come the audio on OBS came as mic/aux ? Is there anything to be done on OBS audio and add anything to mic/aux ?... Voice meter also deviating the viewers concentration....... 70 percent this video is good.

[@LiveProductionTips]

Hello it depends on how your audio settings are in OBS. You may have your computer audio set to Aux in OBS in the case it shows as Aux Audio. I use Voice meter but it has nothing to do with the Aux audio. Technically voice meter acts as a virtual mixer and I run my audio through it before it hits OBS or my headphones/ speakers. All this is unnecessary and don’t apply to this video. You will be ok with or without Voice meter. In OBS Audio settings you can decide how your computer audio comes in

Yes you could do it with just the browser source with VDO ninja however that method is not stable. You may loose signal time to time that’s why Steve created electron capture. With electron capture you are also able to drag the video into a new window, have it full screen which is awesome for monitoring.
