Sadly, it breaks my scene with a PIP camera with a mask...

Including $50,000 from the owners of Streamlabs, Logitech

This looks like a slightly inferior version of https://streamyard.com/ (in particular, fewer participants at each price level) - do you have any value propositions above what they offer?

I remember when it was OBS vs xsplit, looks like OBS won!

It was such an obvious missing feature. Though to be fair, implementing undo/redo functionality is often nontrivial.

However, there's still no way to save/export scenes, aside from simply copying your entire app data directory. I just have a basic layout with few tweaks so it's not the worst thing ever, but for any streamer with a complex setup and carefully adjusted filters, moving to a new computer or whatever must be an enormous pain point.

Yes, I forgot about Parsec, that's a good suggestion. I remember trying it, and not getting it to do what I want, unfortunately I don't remember why. I think I was stuck in the "Arcade", when all I wanted was to share my desktop or one window. It certainly looks like exactly what I was looking for.

Awesome! I was looking for something like this when trying to play a local multiplayer game via the Internet in an early lockdown.

There are, or were, no good turnkey solutions for this. Twitch and Youtube have 5-10s latency, which is often not good enough. Mixer promised (and presumably delivered) ~1s latency using the FTL protocol you use, but they had a wait list of a couple of days or weeks, and of course now, they don't exist anymore. Even Steam Play Together, ostensibly built for this purpose, wasn't low latency enough in my limited experience (this really surprised me, so maybe I'm doing it wrong).

The easiest solution, use the share desktop function of whatever video conference tool, almost works, but they universally seemed reduce the frame rate, which is ok for presentations but unsuitable for games (also, no audio). My solution was to output OBS to a virtual webcam device and use Jitsi Meet. A bit roundabout, but it worked wonderfully.

Ideally, I'd forgo the DO droplet, and just run everything locally. 20% of a small droplet is even less of a modern desktop computer's CPU. Which leaves upload bandwidth for broadcast, which depends on your connection and how many people you need to be able to stream to.

Or no one is getting paid full time. That might be a good thing for a project like this. A full time employee might bring with it some perverse incentives (if it reaches a state where the community isn't clamoring for a full year's worth an an engineer's time, what happens to that engineer when the work is gone, or what if they find things that aren't needed to justify more work?)

If their current balance is over two years worth of their annual budget and the users are happy with the project and how its progressing, I'm happy to think they're in a good place until I hear evidence to convince me otherwise.

OBS can be used as a virtual camera? I assume not out of the box but only with some third party software/plugin, right?

It's a bit of both. It can configure itself to be a virtual camera (similar to OBS), which could then be consumed by OBS. It also has built in features for directly streaming to twitch/youtube/etc and skipping OBS entirely. Likely an embrace, extend, and extinguish strategy on their part.
