To capture your Windows 11 desktop using OBS Studio with the RTSP protocol, follow these steps:
-
Install OBS Studio (64-bit version) if you haven't already:
- Download the latest version from the official OBS Studio website: https://obsproject.com/download
- Install the software following the on-screen instructions
-
Understand RTSP: RTSP (Real-Time Streaming Protocol) is a network protocol for delivering streaming media, such as video, over the internet. It's used by many devices and applications, but it's not commonly used with desktop screensharing.
-
Configure OBS Studio for RTSP:
- Open OBS Studio
- In the Sources box, right-click and select "Add"
- Choose "Video Capture Device"
- In the Device dropdown, select your display (e.g., "Display 1")
- Click "OK"
- In the properties window, navigate to the "RTMP" tab
- Check the "Server" option
- Enter the RTSP server URL (e.g.,
rtsp://your-rtsp-server-url:554) - Leave the Stream key blank
- Click "OK" to save the settings
-
Test the setup:
- Start streaming or recording in OBS Studio
- Check the RTSP server to see if it's receiving the stream
If you still encounter issues, consider using other screen capturing methods or investigating RTSP-compatible screen capturing solutions.
