Run Multiple instances of OBS

  1. Download OBS, but download the ZIP file


  2. Unzip it



  3. Go into the unzipped folder and into BIN->64BIT 
  4. right click on the file called " OBS64
  5. select "SEND TO -> Desktop (create shortcut)"



  6. Rename that shortcut to identify it.  I renamed mine to end in " 1 "



  7. Right click that short cut and select "PROPERTIES"


  8. In the "TARGET" box you will see something like " 4-Windows-x64\bin\64bit\obs64.exe "
  9. add " --portable " to the end.  It will look like this.


  10. Apply those changes.

  11. Repeat the unzip steps for the number of instances you need. 
    Unzip the same download, but to a separate folder

    In the example below I'm unzipping the file again, but this time to a folder that ends in -2


  12. Repeat the same step with creating a short cut, renaming it to identify it (in my example I added a "2" to it as well.



  13. Here I have two instances running.
