Bug#956086: obs-studio: Please build the obs-browser plugin somehow

[Olivier Berger <oberger@ouvaton.org>]

Hi.

It seems that the browser plugin is a great feature that can be used with the OBS.ninja tool, which helps manage video conferences, and many other uses of WebRTC.

The lack of browser plugin on Debian-based distros is then problematic for users that don't undertstand where to find that browser source.

I'd be interested in more details on potential areas of progress.


Just in case, I've filed that issue on obs.ninja : https://github.com/steveseguin/obsninja/issues/781 that may be usefull for some.

Hope this helps,

Best regards,
