**Known issues**:
* Windows users, upgrading to OBS 27.2 or newer will fix video glitching issues caused by network packet loss. Grab the newest OBS version here.
* Samsung smartphones (A-series) may fail to publish video with some mobile browsers; try using Firefox Mobile or the native Android app in these cases.
* Some devices that use hardware encoding can experience video issues; switching to VP8 or VP9 as a codec may help.
* Audio may drop out in OBS Studio at random times, yet still appear active. Delete the browser source and re-create, or use the Electron Capture app instead.

UI tutorial

this is the main interface

let's hop in a `room`

:::spoiler OH! yeah so like rooms can has a pw btw it's
`git-gud`
:::
we're in
and we have a couple options
OR IS IT MORE THAN 2 OPTIONS
yeah there's more than this you'll seein a sec
WE'RE GOING LEFT like the hand i choose to write with
setup you're cam and mic dw you can change in the room
when ready hit start we end up here
heres a closer look
i'm feeling lonely, i know
i'll join on mobile how cool i really like the way it organises
the homies now this is a cool `p2p` chat with a slick minimal
but it's waaaaaay more than that morty

check out the rest of the controls
:::spoiler b0gie fun fact #1
`did~u~kno` those example guest windows get replaced with homies and you can
individually add as browser sources in obs!!
:::
:::info
simply tweak the url by adding `/?director={YourRoomName}` and behold the inner sanctum of the `VDO.Ninja`
:::
what it get's better
what if i told you it get's better than virtual backgrounds and total control of kbps and the list goes on
this makes using obs even easier dare i say it...it kinda decentralizes obs
:::warning important note
treat rooms with care, never lose ya pw and
**ALWAYS BE FIRST WE `DIRECTING` YOUR ROOM**
:::
see what i meme.
so pls for the love of xmash be careful with you're rooms

🤔 why even shill this
---
i got the idea after watching [XR](https://hackmd.io/@XR)'s screen in cord they other day and i was like
daaaaaaam imagine a podcast done using:

==VDO.Ninja== + ==PlayCanvas world==

so a while ago i made a concept studio space in neosvr and bc it's neos :sweat_smile: so time to port to playcanvas something i should have used eons ago.
imagine hopping into a multiplayer world
and you presented with an interactive space that utilitsed the power of VDO.Ninja....

so yeah i think that'd be cool
i'm gunna make like a v2 super optimised studio.
major big ups to the [sketchfab artist](https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/podcast-studio-5d64537efcd64535adb9d487bc4a0497) for saving my butt a huge ammount of time to make this vision a reality

mmkay `SHILL COMPLETE`

i'm gunna stop writing now and figure out play canvas some more
