  • HOST: OBS instance (and SRC-Link user) receiving video and audio
  • GUEST: OBS instance (and SRC-Link user) transmitting video and audio
  • RECEIVER: Represents a group of inputs handled by the host. Usually a single OBS instance is assumed, but it is possible to receive in more than one. A receiver can contain multiple slots and multiple members.
  • SLOT: One slot represents a set of inputs for one guest. This means that multiple sources (webcam, game capture, etc.) can be configured per slot. The guest sends all sources in parallel, so switching and compositing can be done by the host.
  • SOURCE: Guests can send multiple sources in parallel. The number of sources is specified by the host, and the guest is free to select video and audio from its own OBS sources.
  • MEMBER: Registered guests who can connect to the receiver and standby.
  • INVITATION CODE: To invite a guest to the receiver, the host generates an invitation code and sends it to the guest. The guest becomes a member by redeeming the code.
  • GUEST CODE: To request a host to join, a guest sends his/her guest code to the host. The host uses the guest code to register as a member.
  • DOWNLINK: Host-side input connections
  • UPLINK: Guest-side output connection
