Overview

Use Meshcast as the relay: OBS A publishes, OBS B pulls the stream using the watch links from Meshcast.

Requirements

Registered Meshcast account (WHIP or RTMP ingest).
OBS Studio on both machines.

Step-by-step

Choose your ingest path Use WHIP for low latency (OBS 30+) or RTMP for broad compatibility.
Publish from OBS A Copy the WHIP URL or RTMP server + key from Meshcast Studio and start streaming.
Pull into OBS B Use the Meshcast Embed link as a Browser Source, or the HLS link as a Media Source.

Notes

Latency

Browser Source with the Embed link provides the lowest latency. HLS is higher latency but stable.

RTMP and HLS require a registered (free) account. WHIP publishing is supported for registered accounts.
