Update: 03:48 I made a mistake. It should be this srt://{streaming-pc-ip-address}:{port}?mode=caller It should be ? not &. Give this a try if it didn't work for you. -- Who here uses a two PC setup?
Started doing two pc this year and probably won't go back. I had spare parts hanging around, so it felt like a no-brainer to at least try Teleport. Both of my NIC cards are 2.5gbe and I also have a 2.5 switch. It took all of about 10 minutes to get going, and its been going strong ever since. I haven't even bothered moving my alerts/sources over to the stream pc, because just the performance I got back from off-loading has been enough of a difference.
I do, only I use a mac mini instead of a pc for my output to stream. Because I am a masochist. Fighting NDI has been a great time. Definitely giving this a try when I get home from work. It would make life so much easier. Thanks again, Nutty.
This is also good because if your PC crashes, the stream isn't over. This is especially useful for people who stream on UA-cam, because if the stream crashes, you have to make a new video and lose all the people watching.
Hey there I was in the first 3 seconds! My video for 2 PC setups using OBS Teleport! Can't say I've had issues with it or know many people that have, but it's not the same for everyone. This method you're showing reminds me of the old NGINX based 2 PC setup configs, but wayyyyyyy easier. Super cool, dude!
If you're using the SRT protocol for video streaming, you should be using port 2000. 22222 is not the move, ports all the way from port 1 up to port 49152 are almost all reserved by various technologies. If you want to use a different port than 2000 because there's a conflict, I'd recommend using a port between 49152 and 65535 which is the ephemeral port range.
Thanks for all the help - Just a FYI for anyone that is using Streaming labs & is a bit confused as no Media Source showing . Just pick Media File & untick Local File same thing
This is perfect for my needs so THANK YOU for making this it's been really helpful. I'm using my laptop as my streaming pc, idea being that my streaming setup is 100% portable so I can stream away from home doing things like chatting streams or streaming with friends but then having my proper official setup at home with my stationary pc so I can game without issues and also stream my creative processes - I cannot thank you enough for how simple this has been to understand with my old man brain
In your intro you scrolled through all those tutorials I was sitting here nodding my head agreeing with you what you failed to mention, however, was how much funnier, and less of a time waste, this tutorial was. So thank you, for being you.
I have never commented on any of your videos before but I must say a BIG Thanks to you for all your amazing tutorial videos. I watch almost all your videos just to learn new things related to streaming. I might/might not use them but the information I get is always helpful and interesting. Keep them coming. Thank you again

I didn't need to record gameplay, but I used this to help me record my artwork for speed painting videos. It was exactly what I needed. Thank you SO MUCH!
You make a lot of big brain and complex stuff but for some reason this one just hits different. I just moved and was just setting up my two PC setup again. NDI was being buggy as per usual. I literally ask myself if there a way I could just send my native stream output from OBS to my streaming PC. Definitely going to try this. Going to compare the quality to NDI (which isn't great as is), and the performance. Thanks for all your S tier help nutella
The persona BG music had me so confused for a second cause I wasn't sure if it was actually the song. But it worked really well for the video. This is a really cool method for Collab content too or for multiple perspective videos.
I could see doing this over a LAN by just replacing the public IP address with the local IP address of the PC you're streaming to. At the same time this would easily work over long distances as well. Thanks for the video man!
Truly cool, nutty! Thank you, this makes so much sense to divvy up the tasks. Also, your unexplainable port addition fix is fun; another scratch-the-head "I dunno, but it makes things work properly" drop-in. More Cool. So, more thanks!
Great video. I have two pcs. A video with the specs of both of your computers would be great. Also subbed. You deserve it because you remind me of the Mortal Kombat character SHANG TSUNG and I love your humor. FINISH HIM!!!! 👊👊👊😂😂😂
I just commented here but I can't find it back, so until I do here's a detail I missed that completely goofed up my setup: make sure you use a question mark symbol after your ip address and port on the receiving computer. If you use an ampersand it will not work and OBS will throw the error shown at 9:10 as well!
Damn this is a bit of an ancient method, I remember wanting to start streaming back in like 2015/2016 and I only had my average performance gaming PC at the time and I found a guy who made a tutorial on 2 PC streaming doing exactly this, but instead of doing it wirelessly he hooked an ethernet cable up between the two PC's, that could allow the gaming PC to send that insane bitrate I'm assuming with little to no issues if it's over Ethernet
@@boosivemotorsportofficial Yeah I can't imagine the latency would be high enough to have a noticable impact, but there would still technically be latency, cause physics.
Thank you so much! I've been struggling with a cheap ass capture card for 2 weeks trying to get audio in it with nothing working. This was so eazy. Now I just need to figure out the best video settings.
So is this basically a simpler method to NDI, whilst having the same pros and cons? I've been using NDI, but if this helps a little more for performance, I'm willing to switch over!
One of the great advantages of this method is that you have all the flexibility of encoder options that OBS Studio supports. So you can tune your settings to use the exact network bandwidth you specify, with the exact encoder and encoder options you want. All without installing anything other than OBS. There is a little rendering overhead, but that's why I recommend keeping the gaming PC's OBS layout as simple as possible.
@@nuttylmao Yup! That's exactly how I've been treating OBS with the NDI plugin, just an empty/clean OBS installation, sending 20k bitrate with nvenc to my streaming PC. I play competitively so if this method works out help push out a bit more performance, I'd switch in a heartbeat!
You know i follow you on twitch but don't chat much, and i finally subbed on youtube. Hope your views get up, you're super informative and i like your satire. Keep at it, i also just ordered a thermal printer from one of your other vids~ Thanks a bunch.
This method uses your Local Area Network to send the stream from gaming PC to Streaming PC before finally sending it off the the internet. It's worth noting that for best results you definitely want both PCs to have a wired connection to your router and hopefully both PCs as well as the router have 2.5Gb ethernet ports
absolutely not needed for srt streaming pc to pc, you wont need anything other then your standard gigabyte (hell 100mb is more then enough for this) unless you are trying to do multiple uncompressed ndi signals.
I am not able to get it to work, I went ad looked on my streaming PC for an open port. I found it and enter all the info as listed on the video but I get an error. "Failed to connect to the streaming server. Please check your internet connection."

With the new 30.1.0 make sure you turn off hardware encoder or else it will give you a black screen and only audio. There is a bug apparently in that version.
@@rodrigodealexandre No probelm lmao I feel you I spent nearly all day yesterday trying to figure out what I did wrong. Mind you this is the first time I have ever used OBS. I watched this video soooo many times thinking I missed something.
I ran into this issue as well and I resolved it by not using the '&' on the gaming pc and replaced it with '?' to match the syntax used on the Streaming pc. ie. srt://192.168.0.10:22222?mode=caller instead of srt://192.168.0.10:22222&mode=caller
Sadly getting "Could not access the specified channel or stream key, please double-check your stream key. If it is correct there may be a problem connecting to the server" any idea?
This actually might work for me. I have a gaming laptop and I've been thinking about getting a desktop. I'd make the desktop new one my gaming PC to crank quality of the game, and leave the laptop my streaming/editing PC because I can go sit on the couch and edit, lol. Gonna save this one to my streaming hacks playlist. Thanks for this video, nutty!
I had just about figured out my two PC set up using an HDMI camera link to capture video from my PC. Technically more simple than a game capture, but also pretty much the same thing because it's a pain to get audio sources... I have considered this method, but really wasn't sure if it saved a significant enough portion of the gaming PC when you're still encoding, and sending data across your network. Also, both my two computers are semi-Potatos so I need every gigzhert I can get.
I ran into this issue as well and I resolved it by not using the '&' on the gaming pc and replaced it with '?' to match the syntax used on the Streaming pc. ie. srt://192.168.0.10:22222?mode=caller instead of srt://192.168.0.10:22222&mode=caller
@@The_Communal_Grind Have tried this with no luck, curious if you have any other suggestions? Not sure what else it could be! Have watched the video quite a few times and everything else is correct.
For everyone else running into the "unable to connect" or "Stream key required" error! Here's what worked for me. For reasons I can't figure out setting both PC's to caller mode [srt:{ipaddress}:{port}?mode=caller] got them to communicate and now it works perfectly
I ran into this issue as well and I resolved it by not using the '&' on the gaming pc and replaced it with '?' to match the syntax used on the Streaming pc
@@The_Communal_Grind I noticed the same issue with the “&” and swapping it with the “?” fixed it but it’s weird that I have to have both machines set to caller
@@kuhnootlesTTV have you tried replacing “caller” or “listener” with “rendezvous”on both machines, Apparently that’s another mode for this sort of stream setup
@@CrookedMustacheGaming I have not! I was in the process of trying this NDI plugin as I keep seeing that in the comments haha. I will try the "rendezvous" option now as well. Thanks for the quick reply!
Seems like this doesn't work anymore. Tried everything, even corrected the address as said in the comments, tried different ports, disabled enhanced streaming, nothing helps. "Could not access the specified channel or stream key"
IP on caller and on listener must be from listener computer. Then if you gaming (caller) comp have ip 192.168.2.246 and stream (listener) comp have ip 192.168.2.54 you need place on GamingPC (caller) transmission server "srt://192.168.2.54:22222?mode=caller" and in Streaming PC (listener) media source "srt://192.168.2.54:22222?mode=listener" and it solved problem. Many people (like me) try to use opposite ip becouse is fking blind.
Doesn't work for me... I put this message here, maybe someone will kindly help idk.. I did configure the gaming and the streaming PC in OBS with the SRT protocol, but each time I click on "Start Streaming" on the gaming PC I have a message saying that it is impossible to find the channel or the streaming key etc... I don't use any Twitch account and so no streaming key below the SRT adress, I don't understand why OBS keeps searching for a key while the stream must be sent to the streaming pc without any key... cheers!
@@8dreadnought Hey I'm sorry I didn't see your message. I disabled the firewall over private network on the streaming PC. But I hope after 2 months you did figure it out.
You solved something for me that I could not figure out for the past 10 years. Thank you!! I have a very particular situation with a minidisplayport on a digitizing tablet from 2014 causing issues which makes it so I cannot use a capture card. AHHhhhh I'm so grateful you made this video even if you did not expect it to do well in analytics, and I'm so happy I finally found a solution T__T
@@ShyRockFreak86 Test this. Add stream key ex. 1234 on the gaming pc. Then in streaming pc change the srt://ip-address:port&mode=listener to srt://ip-address:port?mode=listener&srt_streamid=1234 This is how i did get it working.
FIXES: - Check which IPv4 Address you're using, you may have multiple. If your STREAMING PC is Wifi, use the "Wireless" IPv4. - Use a "?" instead of a "&" for both PCs. - Switch ports around on both, matching every time. - Remove "?" and "&" entirely These are the fixes I've seen others comment worked for them, for me it was the first one.
I tried but everytime i start streaming from the gaming pc, it keeps on saying that it cant access the specified channel or stream key. I dont know what to do
usually people would do dual pc for the added performance benefit especially in mid tier pcs so for that case i feel like this wouldnt do much help, i see this more as a way for someone with an already good pc to keep that smooth ride while playing and not pay out the extra cash for the rest so i feel like alot of people are gonna pretty confused when there still getting shitty frames when doing this 😂
Mine didn't work at first until I realized that BOTH PCs have to be "Streaming PC's" IP address. I was putting in Gaming PC IP in Gaming PC Settings. After I made that change it worked. Thanks!!
this is also a good method for couples and friends who stream and want to play games or draw art side by side on the same stream. i know some freinds who use discord streaming for this. but i think this will work allot better than that for them.
Helped alot thankyou! my gaming pc was not quite strong enough to support everything i was running while streaming and this took a massive load of my pc. I FOLLOWEED ALL YOUR SOCIALS THANKYOU
I have had Issues where a game lags because of OBS hogging a lot of the Vram on my 8g 4060, so this would def help. Just need someone to buy me a second PC Thaanks lol. Seriously though this simplifies the process and as usual nutty you explained it in a articulate and easy to follow way. GG sir
Oh thank you so much, I can't play games and have my vtuber going at the same time, so I was hoping to have my model set up on a second computer. I hope this works well, thank you again!
8:14 I've been a one-PC streamer ever since I started streaming. But since yesterday I've started using this method with all my stream stuff still connected to my main PC, mainly because I'm too lazy to move everything over. But just taking the stream load off my main PC alone was more than enough to get my frames back. My laptop just has one scene that acts as a glorified downstream keyer while it handles the stream load and that's it. (All done through Teleport btw)
cool concept if you have mad resources and hardware, but essentially tripling your total load, including limiting your total network bandwidth (20k bitrate on local traffic plus the 6K on Twitch upload) on this method
really useful video actually, and also helped I was able to buy a windows key at a reasonable price via that link, my PC didnt have one set up for over a year
Awesome video! Because I'm so Effing supergood at gaming. I'm def gonna need that dual settup so I can watch myself ragdoll out the windshield of my car and see a WASTED sign pop up without any latency drag. Because, I am a king,
One thing I didn't notice you cover was getting Audio over to the Stream PC. I had to tik the option to capture audio on the Game Capture bit of my Gaming PC OBS also turning on the Audio track for it. Obvs if you have your sound setup in settings, you can probably skip this step. Curious your thoughts on how this works compared to say Teleport plugin. I assume it does pretty much the same thing minus the plugin.
Update: 03:48 I made a mistake. It should be this
srt://{streaming-pc-ip-address}:{port}?mode=caller
It should be ? not &. Give this a try if it didn't work for you.

If you're using the SRT protocol for video streaming, you should be using port 2000.
22222 is not the move, ports all the way from port 1 up to port 49152 are almost all reserved by various technologies.
If you want to use a different port than 2000 because there's a conflict, I'd recommend using a port between 49152 and 65535 which is the ephemeral port range.

Brilliant idea, didn't know about this. Will give it a shot 👊
Failed to connect to server
I use prism live studio 🎙️
Sir can I stream ndi from 2 PCs from different internet??
For everyone else running into the "unable to connect" or "Stream key required" error! Here's what worked for me. For reasons I can't figure out setting both PC's to caller mode [srt:{ipaddress}:{port}?mode=caller] got them to communicate and now it works perfectly
I ran into this issue as well and I resolved it by not using the '&' on the gaming pc and replaced it with '?' to match the syntax used on the Streaming pc
Have tried this with no luck. Curious if any other ideas for people who have the "Failed to connect".
@@The_Communal_Grind I noticed the same issue with the “&” and swapping it with the “?” fixed it but it’s weird that I have to have both machines set to caller
@@kuhnootlesTTV have you tried replacing “caller” or “listener” with “rendezvous”on both machines, Apparently that’s another mode for this sort of stream setup
@@CrookedMustacheGaming I have not! I was in the process of trying this NDI plugin as I keep seeing that in the comments haha. I will try the "rendezvous" option now as well. Thanks for the quick reply!
Seems like this doesn't work anymore. Tried everything, even corrected the address as said in the comments, tried different ports, disabled enhanced streaming, nothing helps. "Could not access the specified channel or stream key"
The IP address you put it is on the STREAMING PC, not the gaming PC, if not, its the port.
IP on caller and on listener must be from listener computer. Then if you gaming (caller) comp have ip 192.168.2.246 and stream (listener) comp have ip 192.168.2.54 you need place on GamingPC (caller) transmission server "srt://192.168.2.54:22222?mode=caller" and in Streaming PC (listener) media source "srt://192.168.2.54:22222?mode=listener" and it solved problem. Many people (like me) try to use opposite ip becouse is fking blind.
@@Husbnnd do you know how to fix "failed to connect to server" error?
Such a convenient upload, just got my gaming PC and am looking at turning my other one into the stream PC
could not access the specified channel or stream key
Same :(
ua-cam.com/video/ZqIPvhM_8Og/v-deo.html
setup the media source first
@@unlmtdx yea I tried, that didn’t work
Will you also include a tutorial as to why it didn't work for me? Wasted like 2 hours for no reason and downloaded NDI and worked right away.
Doesn't work for me... I put this message here, maybe someone will kindly help idk.. I did configure the gaming and the streaming PC in OBS with the SRT protocol, but each time I click on "Start Streaming" on the gaming PC I have a message saying that it is impossible to find the channel or the streaming key etc... I don't use any Twitch account and so no streaming key below the SRT adress, I don't understand why OBS keeps searching for a key while the stream must be sent to the streaming pc without any key... cheers!
Nevermind, firewall problem...
@@helmarok_ what did you do to your firewall to fix this i cant figure it out
@@8dreadnought Hey I'm sorry I didn't see your message. I disabled the firewall over private network on the streaming PC. But I hope after 2 months you did figure it out.
@@helmarok_ Disabling firewall didn't help
@@tajemna99 helped me, disabled firewall on private network and started working immediately, with the "?" instead of "&" symbol as well.
I guess this should work even if I would try to use it on my old macbook as a streaming machine... Will try and come back tommorow...
It’s such a good idea!! Unfortunately no one watches my streams so I have no reason to invest in another pc at this time 🤣🤣
Same here, and I just bought 2 Stream Decks.
You solved something for me that I could not figure out for the past 10 years. Thank you!! I have a very particular situation with a minidisplayport on a digitizing tablet from 2014 causing issues which makes it so I cannot use a capture card. AHHhhhh I'm so grateful you made this video even if you did not expect it to do well in analytics, and I'm so happy I finally found a solution T__T
Minor problem here, OBS insists I use a stream key.
@DarrenStylz4 yeah I need the answer to this
Same. How do we bypass the key?
@@ShyRockFreak86 Test this. Add stream key ex. 1234 on the gaming pc. Then in streaming pc change the srt://ip-address:port&mode=listener to srt://ip-address:port?mode=listener&srt_streamid=1234 This is how i did get it working.
mine didn't require this once i went through the settings tab rather than the autosetup wizard.
Same thing here,
Oh my god my chat message made it to the video LMAO where all my ONCEs at? 😂
🍭🍭
FIXES:
- Check which IPv4 Address you're using, you may have multiple. If your STREAMING PC is Wifi, use the "Wireless" IPv4.
- Use a "?" instead of a "&" for both PCs.
- Switch ports around on both, matching every time.
- Remove "?" and "&" entirely
These are the fixes I've seen others comment worked for them, for me it was the first one.
I use the NDI plugin and it works fine.
Good
I tried but everytime i start streaming from the gaming pc, it keeps on saying that it cant access the specified channel or stream key. I dont know what to do
same
“9:29” this video is amazing FYI man you’re amazing!!!!!
this doesnt work only says failed
Did you try srt://{streaming-pc-ip-address}:{port}?mode=caller
@@GamerDen300 I did and it still doesn't work
@@GamerDen300 does your Internet need to be connected?
Because it's not working for me?
“You’re super good at gaming… King”. Felt called out lowkey lol
usually people would do dual pc for the added performance benefit especially in mid tier pcs so for that case i feel like this wouldnt do much help, i see this more as a way for someone with an already good pc to keep that smooth ride while playing and not pay out the extra cash for the rest so i feel like alot of people are gonna pretty confused when there still getting shitty frames when doing this 😂
Mine didn't work at first until I realized that BOTH PCs have to be "Streaming PC's" IP address. I was putting in Gaming PC IP in Gaming PC Settings. After I made that change it worked. Thanks!!
I personally encountered the bug just now when I had tried it. You're not alone.
yo bro holy chat this guy is too good thank you so much nutty it fr worked and i love people like u who are nice and quick prec8 pluh
this is also a good method for couples and friends who stream and want to play games or draw art side by side on the same stream. i know some freinds who use discord streaming for this. but i think this will work allot better than that for them.
Next up: Nutty releases new method that doesn't even need a second PC.
THIS IS CRAZY THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!! Keep up the good work
Helped alot thankyou! my gaming pc was not quite strong enough to support everything i was running while streaming and this took a massive load of my pc. I FOLLOWEED ALL YOUR SOCIALS THANKYOU
The Persona background music was an awesome choice and I thank you.
I dont think my pc and internet situation is gonna be able to use this method but good knowledge thanks for making this
Thinking of setting up a two pc setup, my main pc on one monitor and then use a touch screen all in one pc for the streaming pc 😊
Man your videos have helped so much. Thank you😅
I have had Issues where a game lags because of OBS hogging a lot of the Vram on my 8g 4060, so this would def help. Just need someone to buy me a second PC Thaanks lol. Seriously though this simplifies the process and as usual nutty you explained it in a articulate and easy to follow way. GG sir
Oh thank you so much, I can't play games and have my vtuber going at the same time, so I was hoping to have my model set up on a second computer.
I hope this works well, thank you again!
+1 For the Itzy Bet on Me clip. Love your content!
8:14 I've been a one-PC streamer ever since I started streaming. But since yesterday I've started using this method with all my stream stuff still connected to my main PC, mainly because I'm too lazy to move everything over. But just taking the stream load off my main PC alone was more than enough to get my frames back. My laptop just has one scene that acts as a glorified downstream keyer while it handles the stream load and that's it. (All done through Teleport btw)
cool concept if you have mad resources and hardware, but essentially tripling your total load, including limiting your total network bandwidth (20k bitrate on local traffic plus the 6K on Twitch upload) on this method
OBS doesn’t make a frame rate drop but it feels like it does, I think it adds input delay of affects frame timing
really useful video actually, and also helped I was able to buy a windows key at a reasonable price via that link, my PC didnt have one set up for over a year
9:25 - I am still here Nutty 😅 and I don't even need this, I have a 3 PC setup with capture cards LOL... Love the content dude.
Nutty: “decent network connection”
Me: nvm, back to only one setup…
This works insanely well! Really appreciate it!
Awesome video! Because I'm so Effing supergood at gaming. I'm def gonna need that dual settup so I can watch myself ragdoll out the windshield of my car and see a WASTED sign pop up without any latency drag. Because, I am a king,
Took me a full minute to realise the background music is a lo-fi remix of Persona's Velvet Room theme
Sup nutty, I am about to get a second PC and might as well make my old PC as a streaming PC and came upon this. Thanks.
Thanks for the amazing solution Nutty sir :)
I connected my ROG Ally to my streaming PC. Ran across your vid because I had trouble with capture card. Thanks
One thing I didn't notice you cover was getting Audio over to the Stream PC. I had to tik the option to capture audio on the Game Capture bit of my Gaming PC OBS also turning on the Audio track for it. Obvs if you have your sound setup in settings, you can probably skip this step. Curious your thoughts on how this works compared to say Teleport plugin. I assume it does pretty much the same thing minus the plugin.
