Is there any simple way to implement this kind of setup with convex?

gotcha. how would the web app get access to your filesystem where OBS is writing the video file?

As it's a longer videos at times do you think using a dedicated video hosting would be better? I didn't figure out the full ins & outs of hooking up OBS. If there's 100-1000 users uploading video (educational focused), would Convex be good on the basic plan?

Video is tricky, especially streaming. I'd personally start out using Mux for the actual video streaming bits and worry about doing something more bespoke and manual if the need arises (maybe due to pricing at scale or something).
