"Take from OBS" means just that. It takes the settings you have for OBS's built-in streaming encoder process and uses them for that stream. Of course, any others can use other settings (different profile, different bitrate, etc.), but if you say, "Take from OBS", your settings there will directly be used in that session. That's how I can simulcast to YouTube and Twitch and still have the same high quality on both streams, yet still be in compliance with (one of) Twitch's simulcasting provisos. If I had to use different quality settings in any of the streams, I would have to specify settings in the output set up in the plugin to worsen the YouTube settings. To wit, Twitch basically says, like the Ten Commandments of Streaming (should I channel Mel Brooks here?), "No other parallel stream shall be of better quality than that on me."

When it comes to chat, the other big proviso you need to observe while multistreaming, that's not something for this particular thread. That's best discussed elsewhere. ;3

P.S. For the record, I'm using Sorayuki's release, which I have had zero problems with using here.
That doesn't answer the question of OutputB taking\sharing session from OutputA without creating additional pressure on GPU. My idea is to, somehow, start multi-stream without starting the main obs output. (In my case it is twitch, but sometimes i play games like GTA2 which doesn't get any attention at Twitch, but alot of attention on Youtube and other platforms)

But, if OutputB just copies OutputA's setting and creating it's own encoder session - thats bad.
One way to deal with that problem which 100% works - Another OBS Profile without Twitch.

Sadly, this Plugin doesn't have "Take from OBS recorder" option. With this option present, there will be no need to start main Output. After all, recorder does same thing as main obs output, creating the encoder session which it shares to\from main output.

P.s. as far as i can see, it should create single Encoder session if OutputA takes from OutputB. because Changing bitrate setting in OutputB changes OutputA's too. But i need confirmation from experienced users :D

The main OBS streaming output must be started.

I don't use the "Share With" feature but in my limited testing with it, there was no additional encoding session required. I did not test "Get From OBS" being used & "Shared With" other multi-outs. Test it yourself & look at your OBS log for the answer you seek.

First, of all, please temper your response. That will go a long way toward helping you get help.

Given the appearance of your screenshots, I am assuming you are running some version of Windows. Please tell me otherwise if I am wrong.

If it is Windows, you will need to do the following:

Open Explorer, then navigate to where OBS Studio is installed.

In most cases, it will be in C:\Progam Files\obs-studio

Adjust as necessary.

Then you will go into the obs-plugins\64-bit folder within, then delete the files: obs-multi-rtmp.dll obs-multi-rtmp.pdb

Then go back up two folders so you're back in C:\Progam Files\obs-studio, then go into the data\obs-plugins folder, then delete the folder: obs-multi-rtmp

Since you said you had uninstalled your OBS Studio, you will need to reinstall the plugins you intend to continue using.

You're welcome.

This is wrong information. it's in the C:\ProgramData\obs-studio\plugins. Took me forever to find it after multiple reinstall of OBS and it still showing up.

Please accept my sincerest and humblest apologies for not providing correct information. We are all human and end up making mistakes periodically.

I have just corrected it so it will not trip anyone else up.

You're welcome.

The "Multiple RTMP Outputs" plugin, released on May 17, 2020, is a valuable tool for streamers looking to broadcast to multiple platforms simultaneously. It simplifies the process of streaming to services like YouTube, Facebook, and Twitch, all from a single source. This plugin is especially useful for content creators who want to reach wider audiences without needing multiple setups or additional software. It’s a great addition to any streaming toolkit.
