Multiple Guest Streams with OBS Ninja
Welcome to this guide, where you'll learn how to effortlessly add multiple guests to your stream using two powerful tools: OBS Ninja and OBS.
OBS Ninja is a fantastic free web-based utility - you can access it at https://vdo.ninja/. With this tool, you can create a virtual room and easily invite other guests to join your stream. Once they're in the room, OBS Ninja generates unique links for each guest, which you can effortlessly integrate into OBS as extra sources for your broadcast.
It's worth noting that OBS Ninja supports up to 30 guests, but keep in mind that having too many participants might strain your bandwidth. We'll delve deeper into bandwidth management later in the guide.
Now, let's get started by navigating to https://vdo.ninja/ to embark on this exciting journey of expanding your stream with multiple guests!
Step 1 - Create a room

Step 2 - Name the Room

Add the name to your room, no empty spaces are allowed. They will be automatically filled by the system if you do place empty spaces.
Leave all other options unchecked and click Enter the room’s Control Center in the director’s role
Step 3 - Guest invites

From the Invite a Guest tab, you can get the link that you would need to share with your guests, simply click Copy Link and send the link to your guests.
In the boxes labeled Guest 1**,** Guest 2 below, you will start seeing your guests as they connect. This tool is completely browser-based, your guests will only need to open the link that you sent them and configure their devices(mics and cameras).

Step 4 - Configuring OBS
You now have 2 options to choose from, to send your OBS Ninja stream to OBS:
- You can create a Source for each participant in OBS Ninja, in order to arrange them in your OBS screen by clicking the Copy solo link from each participant tab.(1)
- Create a single link with all participants that you can place in OBS by clicking the Copy Link from the Capture a Group Scene tab.(2)

In OBS, we’ll create a Source for each of the guests. For this example, we’ll create a single scene and we’ll be adding several sources to illustrate the example
