VDO.Ninja (formerly OBS.Ninja) is a free, open-source tool that brings remote video sources into OBS via WebRTC โ no accounts, no downloads. Send a guest a link, they open it in their browser, and their video appears as a source in OBS. The quality is excellent because it's a direct peer-to-peer connection, not routed through a server. Advanced features include group rooms, director view, and multi-bitrate options. Completely free. Best for: OBS streamers who need to include remote guests without paying for StreamYard or Riverside.
