If you're streaming your guest's games from your host and are using Looking Glass, there is a plugin available for OBS to stream video directly from Looking Glass. This avoids the overhead from recording the Looking Glass client, which reduces latency to your fans.

=== Setup ===
 
 
Once installed, you can select the '"Looking Glass Client"' source from the OBS sources menu. The configuration only requires the IVSHMEM file that is used by the VM, and this is pre-populated with the default filename for Looking Glass.
 
 
== Open Broadcaster Software ==
 
The plugin is made for OBS, an open source streaming and recording studio. Find out more at https://obsproject.com/
 
 
It's available under most distributions under 'obs-studio' or just 'obs'.
