Streaming multiple users video and audio live to twitch?

Hey everyone, I've been lurking here for a while trying to learn the basics of this site, 5E, and figure out (if it's even possible... ) how to put together a D&D session stream through twitch. I've read through the wiki guidelines section here:&nbsp; <a href="https://wiki.roll20.net/Live_Stream_and_Record_Gam" rel="nofollow">https://wiki.roll20.net/Live_Stream_and_Record_Gam</a>... but it only goes over basic details on setting up your streaming client. I'm alright with that bit, but I'd like to put together an overlay with all of our faces like roll20 does here:&nbsp; <a href="https://www.twitch.tv/roll20app/profile" rel="nofollow">https://www.twitch.tv/roll20app/profile</a> How is this done? Is there a write up somewhere? I'm sorry if I've completely missed it.&nbsp; Thanks so much! Andy

Requires the use of a third party program like OBS or XSplit and creation of an image overlay.

Hey Sky, thanks for the reply. I'm fine with using overlays, my question is how to add a video/audio source from other people in the session and add it to my stream, live. There isn't any information regarding that particular issue in the wiki? Thanks!

There won't be... you need to look at setting up scenes and such. Search on youtube and you should find plenty of tutorials for that.

I have looked on youtube. I wouldn't be posting here with a brand new account if I hadn't :) I'm asking for specifics from the community here because my search has not been fruitful and I have seen it done on the roll20 twitch so I know someone, hopefully many people, around here know how it's done. Thanks!&nbsp;

No one can help you if they don't know what program you're using. And there are plenty of tutorials for both OBS and XSplit on youtube that can help you. I have watched them.&nbsp;

I use OBS and I'm comfortable with it and with setting up basic components. I'm sorry for not being clearer, but what I'm curious about is how streamers have live feeds from other people's webcams and microphones on their own streams, similar to how roll20 has its setup. I'm not looking for basic help with streaming, creating or setting overlays, or streaming software in general, but how to solve this particular issue. Thanks!

Andy, are you are wanting to capture 4 separate streams or more (one from each player and you) and compile them into one stream? Or are you just wanting to stream a game? If so then you just use the&nbsp; streaming feature in OBS. If you are in a game with the audio and video enabled that has more than 1 person, the A/V is automatically active. You just set up obs to stream to your twitch account and away you go. Roll20 OBS Wiki

Hi Andy. The answer is, they are playing in Roll20 virtual tabletop!&nbsp; Roll20 provides the tabletop, with a text chat room, and a voice-video feature (which is based on WebRTC). You can invite all your players, and they can enable Video. The voices will all be coming through your browser audio then. Wiki docs for this, <a href="https://wiki.roll20.net/Video_and_Voice_Chat" rel="nofollow">https://wiki.roll20.net/Video_and_Voice_Chat</a> An overlay is not necessary, you can stream the browser window that has Roll20 tabletop (a game in progress) and it will already have the video screens arranged along the bottom, with Small and Large choices of size. All of the voices come in here too, there is a whiteboard for maps in the middle, and the chat room is on the right. &nbsp;If you choose to use an overlay you can re-arrange those visual components and put whatever borders you like. For the Roll20 Virtual TableTop itself we have a Tutorial that shows you how to use the various parts of the software. Additionally, starting your own test game to play with the controls is an excellent way of getting used to the software, and you really can't break anything in a tabletop, so my recommendation is start your own "Game" and enter the tabletop, invite some friends and enable video, and see what you can do from there.

Andy L. said: how streamers have live feeds from other people's webcams and microphones on their own streams, similar to how roll20 has its setup. Generally what they're doing is several standard Window Capture or Monitor Captures, and using the sub-region settings to just show that portion of the screen. So you might have a Window Capture for the Roll20 tabletop that cuts off the bottom video windows, and a separate Window Capture with a sub-region selected for each video window.&nbsp; The same would be done if you're using something like Skype, Google Hangouts, Discord, etc... you just do a window capture and sub-region to only show that part of the screen. Audio sources are generally left to just whatever you normally hear on your computer.&nbsp; You don't usually bother selecting specific sources.

Thanks for the awesome replies Mark, Gold, and Pat. That answers my question!&nbsp;
