discord screen shares are very low latency and well integrated.. is it possible to do something similar with obs? genuinely asking.

    I would imagine the limiting factors would be bandwidth and compute - I imagine discord offloads some of the processing on their servers to make sharing such a smooth experience, while services like Twitch intentionally introduce delay to make stream sniping more difficult.

    So for OBS, the most difficult part of having a low latency stream to another person is having a strong, speedy connection, and a beefy enough gpu/cpu to handle the encoding quality necessary.
