Multiple "streams" in one on twitch

Hi guys, Soon enough my friend is going bring his rig to my house and we're going to start streaming a lot during week-days.

But here's my issue: I'd like to have both our streams in two seperate "viewports" and basically two webcam, although optional.

To illustrate what i'm talking about here's a picture:

So i'd like to know if there's any hardware, software, networking necessary in order to do this. I can handle basic OBS stuff but not that much, streaming is not something that I do often, if not at all.

If there's anything you'd like to know, just ask, PC specs should be in my profile.

thank you guys very much in advance, I really appreciate it!

The quickest, simplest and most reliable use (that keeps other machine resource availability high) is to use a third machine with a capture card.

Mirror a GPU output on the gaming machines and connect it to the streaming PC using a capture card. From this third machine you'd use the capture card as input with OBS. This machine will also have the webcams connected.

should mirroring be done with a splitter or simply with an other output cable?

I have a DELL oem pc apparently running a athlon x2 64 (like if that could encode two 720p sources) and vista.....who doesn't boot so i'd have to fix that and swap that thing into a real case (god damn DELL BS i'll tell you what)

I've never seen an affordable capture card with multipe input so that's be two capture cards for about 120$CAD (money I really don't have) for some basic decency i think...

so far looks like we're gonna run our streams on our own channels lol :P

mirroring as in enabling a 2nd monitor thats the same as your screen and connecting that to the capture card.
