description OBS Ninja Overview
Previously known as OBS Ninja, VDO.Ninja is a browser-based tool for bringing remote video and audio into a live production. Guests can share a camera feed through a browser, and a producer can place the resulting viewing link in an OBS Studio browser source. The basic workflow does not require a dedicated guest account or software download. It is useful for remote interviews and recordings where participants are in different locations.
WebRTC provides the underlying real-time connection, with an emphasis on low delay. Quality and reliability still depend on the devices, browser support and network conditions involved. Broadcasters and content creators can use the feeds within their own layouts instead of capturing only a conventional meeting grid. Its distinguishing feature is the direct connection between a guest's browser and browser-enabled production software.
