If you build OBS from source and would like more than a 3-band equalizer without a plugin, I've still got my eq8 branch getting stale here:

https://github.com/phkahler/obs-studio/tree/eq8

I should rebase that...

BTW they do not want it upstream for whatever reasons. I'm not complaining, I get it. But some of us like this built-in so I'm keeping it around.

If anyone is using/testing WebRTC I would love to hear how it is working for them :) I am hoping Simulcast makes a impact with smaller streamers/site operators.

* Cheaper servers. More competition and I want to see people running their own servers.

* Better video quality. Encoding from source is going to be better then transcoding.

* No more bad servers. Send video to your audience and server isn't able to do modification/surveillance with E2E Encryption via WebRTC.

* Better Latency. No more time lost transcoding. I love low latency streaming where people are connected to community. Not just blasting one-way video.

Do you have any resources for someone who would want to get started in small-time self hosted options?

Context here is just self-hosting my own site for friends to stream to friends (instead of whatever we squeeze out of Discord).

The WebRTC work sounds awesome, would like to try it out.

Yes! I maintain https://github.com/glimesh/broadcast-box for this.

You can try it out at https://b.siobud.com to see if you like it first. It if fits your needs then go for the self host :) I run my instance on Hetzner

I want to add more features to it, but I have been focused on OBS mostly lately. If you have any ideas/needs that would make it work for you and your friends I would love to hear! Join the discord and would love to chat.

What I want to do next is make a 're-broadcast feature'. So friends can stream to it + hang out. When they are ready they hit a button and then goes to Twitch/YouTube etc...

OBS is a great solution if you're on a budget or doing very simple streams, but I really urge anybody who is serious about live streaming professional shows to check out vMix. It's an incredible piece of software that is versatile and packed full of so many features professional broadcasts need all baked in.

what features does vMix have, which OBS doesnt, that would be worth switching to a proprietary and paid program instead of a free, open source one?
