OBS Tutorial/Guide: Easiest Two PC NDI Streaming Setup NO CAPTURE CARD/MIXER NEEDED!!

hi friend. i need some audio from the 2pc (streaming pc ) to be picked up by the ndi plugin. is there any way of doing this ? thank you.

I have done all steps but my streaming is lagging to much, why that happens?

If we could actually show install, and set up before adding songs, and alerts that would be so nice. As someone who doesn't have those things, or hasn't gotten that far and is just trying to get everything set up and working...whatever.

so how about recording? it seems that ndi only receive all output audio in one audio track. i need to record the video with multiple audio tracks and let say each serve for, games audio, voice chat, and my own mic audio. it seems that ndi only receive all output audio in one audio track

Don't we need a gigabyte connection for 2 pc setup????

Why when I start CS:GO on the streaming PC it doesnt fit to screen, its like only in left side. Can you help me out?

How does the NDI source from OBS in Stream pc detect the NDI in Game pc? Using cables?

Just to let u know vb cable does not work says its corrupted while running administrater

for some reason my game computuer only picks up my stream computer but my stream computer doesn't do the same

Hey Frugal, so I have everything setup the way you said in your video, but I have like a twenty second audio delay on my actual twitch stream. And like at least the say in visual, is there a way to fix this that you know of? I have low latency up on twitch itself. I have the stuff on StreamLabs set at 0 and such. Have my desktop and mic audio timestamps taken off. LIke what else is there for me to do to get this to work. Only thing that is keeping me from going live officially

Hi,

I am facing issues with streaming using 2 PCs through NDI , I did all the steps with turning NDI Scan Converter on my Gaming PC and then moving onto the Streaming PC's StreamLabs OBS where I want my gaming pc screen to get capture, but while adding the NDI Source , my gaming pc doesnt get detected on it even though I allowed every stuffs on firewall , even disabled firewall too. Please help

Do you have to have both pcs hooked up with ethernet cable on same network?

Thanks for the awesome content. I have followed your steps to the letter and gone back over and over several times and am not getting any of my audio from my voice from the game pc to the stream pc via ndi. I can see the ndi game audio on my game pc obss meter and I can see my game audio on my stream pc obss meter but when I turn the game sound down on the game pc there is no indication of mic sound from my game pc on the stream pc obss ndi indicator. Please assist as I don't have much hair left as a result of this issue. Additional information: When I watch a video on my gpc desktop ndi sends the video and voice to my streaming pc. Its obviously a setting but for the life of me I cant find it. Thanks again...

Because of your video my money saved thanks a Lot🙏🙏🙏🙏

Does this work on Xsplit broadcaster?

So for the stream pc do I only download the runtime? Or do I get both aswell?

Hibi have this setup: Gaming pc i9 2080 ti, laptop think pad i7 p50. can i stream from my laptop using this setup?

I'm using a USB headset logitech g933 and for some reason I can't get my audio to work but everything else does, I tried finding a solution and I have not come up with anything. Any tip on how to fix this problem ?

What if your running both pc with different Ethernet cables but from the same internet box

I want to do the opposite to you. Run music, Discord and headset from the streaming PC not the game PC. I have already set up the headset mic to send audio to the game PC with Voice meter Banana VBAN. Is this possible

I am unable to get any audio to transfer to my streaming pc . please assits

helpful

Im new to streaming...do i stream on both obs studio and streamlabsOBS or can i choose either one i like better

Thanks So Much For This Tutorial

I love you.

hi. I have a really bad problem. When i put my music monitor on monitor only, my desktop sounds too, and the music and desktop sound at the same time cuz my music monitor is sounding on my desktop, what do i do :(

Loved the tutorial, not limited to NDI. Thank you. But I have a question. Why not set all the overlays and mic, I mean, everything not-the-actual-game-output on the streaming PC? The audio would make sense for me if you're trying to avoid syncing problems. Is that the reason? Is there a technical reason why one shouldn't add everything else on the streaming PC and leave just the game screen/audio in the gaming PC to be sent over NDI?

There is no source name that shows up on my stream pc. someone please help

omg thank you for this.. time to get to work on my own system.. :) so you sir.. thank you.

Thank you for going out of your way to redirect me to this video. You are a legend good sir.

my ndi wont pop up i installed it 5 times please help

the goat

it may be a bit late but thank you so much sir. i am new to this streaming stuff, after watched this not only i learned how to use two pc efficiently i also learned some other stuffs on the way like setting display,game , web captures. instead of pc i used mac as streaming pc and i made one mistake initially... i installed ndi plugin in wrong locations then i read the texts on github that it must be on root directory of obs. i just downloaded the zip and copy pasted the contents into the directory then restarted my pc and the ndi sources has been added to obs.

I am only going to be recording, I had everything set up, the video sucked but I got it fixed, everything was going well, then I lost all sound on my recording PC. I could hear the sound from my recording PC but playback yield no sound at all. Any suggestions?

This is very helpful. I recently decided that I want to start streaming. I haven't yet started but I will be using this to help me start. Thank you very much.

i've done this but i noticed my music monitor comes through the desktop audio line, which affects my NDI audio to my stream pc. the music and music monitor work as intened but seem to be tied to the desktop audio. any idea on what im doing wrong?

How do you answer the same questions over and over again without going completely insane? 😂

Does this virtual cable work on one pc? followed your steps 3 times and got the audio to work in stream but couldnt hear music myself...

i could have swore that i followed this step-step. but when started messing with that vb cable... it screwed up ALL of my audio to the point where it took me 3 days and uninstalling that program to fix the issue.

thanks so much for this tutorial. Very clear and without problems, so well done!

I been streaming this way for a bit, but all of a sudden my sound does not come through on stream, on my streaming pc it is picked up in obs. I have changed nothing, it just quit working. Any ideas?

Best tutorial ever and we are in 2019 already, thank you!

i cant see in the tools the ndi output

wicked thank you it will help my stream many thanks

Thank you very much for your work! It really helped me to build my stream setup on a budget! Your content is awesome!

Nice video something I've been looking into for the future. Looks like a really nice way of doing things. Allowing you to have multiple audio channels and raw gameplay capture on a gaming PC . Then all combined for the streaming PC. Hypothetically speaking... Just something I'm curious about how would go about moving multiple audio channels without the use of a mixer from a Gaming PC to a streaming PC? Take for example my current audio setup on my one PC setup. I have several audios channels. Game, Comms, Music & And Microphone.

First of all , thanks for the video and explanations! Just a quick question, no network setup is required for both of the machines? No ports , no rules , no nothing?

Can you do it the other way around? Just pass through the Game Capture to the Capture PC? and have streamlabs, mic, music on the Capture PC instead of the Gaming PC?
