Remote video for OBS, browsers, and live production
VDO.Ninja is a browser-based live video and audio tool for bringing remote guests, smartphones, webcams, screen shares, and audio feeds directly into OBS Studio or other browser-enabled production software. It is commonly used for remote interviews, podcasts, live streaming, mobile phones as webcams, and peer-to-peer WebRTC video workflows.
VDO.Ninja is offered as a free hosted service, but it is also available as customizable and self-hostable code for teams that want more control over deployment, signaling, and workflow design.
