Multiple remote DJs can be brought into one OBS scene by popping each Jitsi Meet stream into its own window and window-capturing it

To assemble a single OBS stream from DJs in different locations without NDI or virtual-audio-cable rigs, one working approach uses a Jitsi Meet room plus a browser extension that pops each participant’s stream out into its own separate browser window. OBS then adds each pop-out window as a Window Capture source, so one operator can arrange, switch, and mix every remote performer inside one OBS scene. This keeps a small-scale multi-DJ broadcast entirely inside the browser + OBS, avoiding heavier remote-contribution tooling. It was shared as a community solution (with a Chrome extension and demo stream) for a 48-hour multi-DJ event.

Examples

Multi-DJ event: open the shared Jitsi Meet room in Chrome, run the pop-out extension so each DJ becomes a separate window, add each window as an OBS Window Capture source, and switch between them from the OBS scene list.
