Send video only?

Install & Config
1

Random question: is there any flag/option to set to have an endpoint/client ONLY transmit video/audio out (no receive, broadcast-style) while other participants both send and receive? I have a use case where some clients may only need to transmit and in the interest of reducing bandwidth used it would be ideal to have those clients only send their feed and not pull anything down…

Me too. I am very interested in implementing a feature that allows OBS to upload video/audio to the meeting. I have no idea how to do this!

Hi, It’s a quite late reply, I encounter the same situation. For anyone needs, you can make it by setting LastN to 0 on conference object. Like below:

conference.setLastN(0)

LastN is per participant so that participant will send only tracks but won’t receive any.

  • create a virtual camera
  • create a virtual microphone
  • send the video data to the virtual camera and the audio data to the virtual microphone while playing the video using ffmpeg
  • open chromium , join a Jitsi room, select the virtual camera and the virtual microphone *
