The Vertical Stream Pipeline That Beat Horizontal in Q1

The vertical stream pipeline that beat horizontal in Q1 – and the $510 setup that runs it cleanly.

OBS 32.0 multi-output, MX Brio + phone-as-vertical-cam, single MV7+ audio split. Total cost ~$510 all-in for a dual-format streaming rig that handles Twitch horizontal and TikTok Live vertical from the same machine.

The trick

The phone-as-vertical-cam workflow over USB Camo. Sounds janky, is actually clean – especially with a recent iPhone. OBS 32’s scene-collection-per-output handles layout switching invisibly.

EsportForge’s view: the path to dual-platform streaming without a second rig. The vertical numbers are now too big to ignore.
