One question that Alex asked about was is there a way to rotate through cams automatically. The 2nd video in this post discusses a script for this. There is a link to the script in the article.

Here is another article by CDM on a commercial fork of OBS Studio called Streamlabs OBS. “Android Apps iOS Motion Music Pocket gaming Software Tech Streamlabs is an easier, free all-in-one streaming app, now on Mac, Windows, iOS, and Android” https://cdm.link/2020/04/streamlabs-free-streaming-mac-windows-ios-and-android/
I’m going to play around with it – although I’m leaning towards OBS Studio so we an rally our expertise around the true open source version. Thoughts?

I’ve been playing with OBS Studio for the last few days. I have not yet gotten to production ready status. Among the current pain points: nobody has webcams in stock at the moment. Accordingly, I am trying to use my iPhone as a webcam, using NewTek NDI Camera. This outputs an NDI stream just fine – I can see it on my computer using NDI Video Monitor. However, the current version of the obs-ndi plugin causes OBS to crash immediately upon confirming the properties of the source. I am told this is a known issue with the current version of the NDI runtime.
So with that said, does anyone happen to have a copy of the NDI runtime for Mac previous to 4.5?

Yeah, I also tested out the “OBS Camera” iOS app over USB with the plugin ( https://obs.camera/docs/getting-started/ios-camera-plugin-usb/ ), but it kept crashing and/or lagging the OBS camera bitrate pretty badly. Video started lagging the audio by 10-15 seconds, and eventually caused OBS to crash. Definitely reproducible.
I managed to track down the issues to using the OBS Camera iOS app. I also saw the same behavior with the “Window Capture” source, and found out that the “Display Capture” performed much better.
After some research, I found out that OBS for Mac is a bit outdated with their hardware video encoder / decoder support on Mac. Trying to use the hardware encoder in advanced video settings also caused crashes. Apple dropped OpenGL support in Mojave, which broke a bunch of apps that relied on it. Siphon Inject used to be an option to capture OpenGL and pipe into OBS, but that also doesn’t work anymore. I suspect that Apple’s push to the newer “Metal” graphics API has caused a lot of old app developers to try and keep up.

The obs-ndi dev just released a new rev today, and it fixes my crash woes. I’m on MacOS 10.15.4, OBS 24.0.6, obs-ndi-4.8.0, and ndi-runtime-4.5.1.
Now to just learn this program…
