You're so freaking smart! Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge and expertise with the world. The time you spend on VDO and these videos is very much appreciated.
We're late to the VDO game, but we have been "dealing" with multiple Skype programs running on the same computer to bring in remote hosts of the show for 13 years. I think we've found a better (much better) alternative. Thank you.
If, like us on The Shills, you play videos live to debunk or whatever I suggest using the OBS audio monitor and a VB Cable to send the audio to the directors feed. Then join the show yourself using another tab. Keeps it simple and works very well. (edit) HAHAHA I had paused to type that in and boom, as soon as I push play you describe exactly what I said. Too funny. Great stuff Steve. Your efforts are amazing!
Hi Steve! Awesome work with vdo ninja. It's the best solution for streaming i found so far. I was wondering, is there a way of changing the size of the guests display while screensharing? Sometimes when i share my screen, the guests become tinny and i can't fix it.
Hello Steve Segun. I am not able to add a virtual background to (only) one of my guests, the main speaker. Could you suggest a solution? OBS does not recognize his green-screen.
You can have the guest try a different browser; perhaps Chrome or Edge. You can also have them use a different computer; perhaps something with a dedicated GPU. You can also use a third party application for the virtual background, and then bring them into VDO.Ninja using that application's virtual webcam. If you need more help, I'm on Discord at discord.vdo.ninja
Hi Steve, I am trying using this excellent tool, but i have some questions 1. i need complete guide to use this tool with all its different modes in detail. 2. is broadcasting mode and mixer mode are different for group broadcast ? please reply soon.
Thank you. Please see docs.vdo.ninja for the documentation and many guides. The mixer can be used in broadcast mode or not. With it on, guests only see the directors output. With it off, guests see videos from all the guests; not just from the director. I welcome feedback. For help, please join the discord at discord.vdo.ninja.
On Linux I dont have the VB Cable. I have one problem - If I would like to make a telefon phone interview - alot of phones dont have a TRRS jack anymore so bluetooh solution is needed but I have not found a way to record a telephone interview on Linux the connection between the obs should be like if a headset was connected - some get a number and use skype but I think it should be possible other ways maybe?
Is there any way that I can do the screenshare as director but not from the obs? So the guests can see and talk eachother, no matter what the obs is showing to the stream (like an scene of "we're starting", pauses, showing a video, etc...)
You can just not use the OBS output, or install a plugin for OBS that lets you select the scene you want to output to the virtual camera. If you aren't using broadcast mode, guests will see each other regardless also. Not sure I follow tho. If you need support, I'm on discord at discord.vdo.ninja
I followed this step by step after watching the video 6 times. As soon as I turn on the obs virtualcam and I go back to obs to do something, the browser source goes into this crazy loop. Looks like 35mm film that got stuck.
Make sure the director is not being treated as a guest. &showdirector would cause that. If it still happens, use &scene=1 instead of &scene or &solo on the link you are adding to OBS. If still having problems, join the discord. Discord.vdo.ninja
Hi can you please help, I am using a rode caster pro 2, and steaming on obs, k have ninja set up as a director room, with virtual obs camera, but the music from my rode caster, is terrible, but when I click no sound tru on ninja, music is fine, it doesn't seem to allow both chat, and music thru ninja so confusing, cheers
If the volume is quiet and distorted, it might be due to echo cancellation. Disable it with &aec=0 If its just not that great, but just okay, you can add &proaudio=1 to the director's link and the guest's links. If you need more help, please join the discord at discord.vdo.ninja
I had a similar issue with Rodecaster. To solve for me, Gear Icon on Rodecaster->Advanced->Audio->Processing->Toggle on "USB Mix-Minus". I also had to MUTE my desktop audio in the the OBS Audio Mixer and use the "Mic/Aux" and "VDO Ninja" sliders on the OBS audio mixer.
A modern iPad should be able to do this all, within reason. Every device has a limit. An iPad has no OBS / OBS irtual camera of course, but I hope that aspect is obvious.
You can do that, sure. If you want to appear in OBS via vdo.ninja this way, you can add &showdirector to the director's URL or the scene link. The default is otherwise not to appear in the scenes.
@@steve_seguin got it, I've just been adding myself as a guest but the actual guest never sees what I'm doing on OBS so this looks like a good way of doing that. Appreciate all the hard work.
Hey Steve, I downloaded the virtual plug followed your steps from the video but my guess still can’t hear my RUclips videos and window capture. I saw some different virtual plugs ANB do I need those to make this work?
docs.vdo.ninja/guides/how-to-use-vdo.ninja-as-a-webcam-for-google-hangouts-zoom-and-more see step 7, 8, 9 you'll need to modify for your window capture / youtube. if you still need more help, see discord.vdo.ninja for live commuity support

Great stuff Steve. Your efforts are amazing!
I like your colourful sign at 1:39 (you should make that a recurring gag in the videos, build something to always drop/release the sign randomly)
good video Steve this should help new users thumbs up.
Steve, God bless you, man.
Congrats! Superb work! Thank you!
👏 nice work Steve!!
Thank you so very extremely much for this tool ❤

&hidescreenshare or &smallshare might be options you can try adding to your URL
the docs at docs.vdo.ninja might offer some other options
THANK YOU

Can all this be done on a current iPad?
A modern iPad should be able to do this all, within reason. Every device has a limit.
An iPad has no OBS / OBS irtual camera of course, but I hope that aspect is obvious.
Is it this easy to set up the same sort of thing, but vMix ?
It should work with vmix in the same way. I'm not an expert on vmix tho.
If I'm the director and also on the show should I just join as director?
You can do that, sure.
If you want to appear in OBS via vdo.ninja this way, you can add &showdirector to the director's URL or the scene link.
The default is otherwise not to appear in the scenes.
