Given the recent controversies surrounding Discord and the fact that the end user is a product of Twitch, I wonder if there is any “bare bone” solution to stream my gaming session to a friend who’s on Windows. I’d rather that they didn’t have to do anything except clicking on a link or perhaps installing a piece of software but with no need to do any configuration. From their perspective, it should "just work.
On my side
Should I set up a webserver into which I feed an OBS stream? Or can perhaps ffmpeg work as a server on it’s own?
I’m on Arch Linux, playing games on Steam, within dwm within X11.
On my friend’s side
No idea how a windows user is supposed to receive such a video feed.
Edit: text and voice chat, we’re considering Signal for.
Oh, I assumed you already had setup OBS…
And WHIP is probably unneccessarily complicated anyway.
I was able to stream the output of my V4L2loopback-device (the virtual camera created with OBS’ output) to a browser accessing localhost:<port> with Motion without any setup other than creating a single-line config file defining the port…
Yeah, sorry, I was unclear on several parts in the post. Thanks anyways! If Steam’s native broadcasting turns out to such, I’ll try something else.
