**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.

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==

![](https://i.imgur.com/X6POSyu.png)
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.
![](https://i.imgur.com/ha4ZVtz.png)
imagine hopping into a multiplayer world 
and you presented with an interactive space that utilitsed the power of VDO.Ninja....
![](https://i.imgur.com/bQPzwRg.gif)

so yeah i think that'd be cool
