VDO.Ninja is a browser-based WebRTC tool for bringing remote video and audio feeds from guests, smartphones, and screen shares directly into OBS Studio or other production software with low latency. It works as a free hosted service and is also self-hostable, with a director control room, group chat, and extensive URL-parameter customization.
Use cases
- bring remote guests into OBS via webrtc
- use my phone as a wireless webcam for streaming
- record a remote podcast interview with low latency video
- self-host a webrtc video ingest service for live production
- share a screen or camera feed peer-to-peer without a server
- run a group video call where the director controls scenes
- pull a remote camera feed into vMix or Streamlabs
When to choose
- you need low-latency remote video feeds in OBS, vMix, or similar studio software
- you want a free hosted option but also the ability to self-host and customize
- you want guests to join from a browser with no install
- you need smartphone-as-webcam or screen-share ingest over WebRTC
When to avoid
- you need a general video conferencing tool for meetings rather than production ingest
- you need guaranteed recording or enterprise SLAs from the hosted service
- you need non-WebRTC protocols or broadcast-grade contribution encoding out of the box
