I was hoping to use custom font and such, so I am not sure how far I could use a website capture...
The "website" could be anything. Google Docs, Spreadsheets, Tasks or even Google Keep can all be customized to look the way you want. Then you can capture as much of the window as needed for OBS.
Hmm... I guess I can attempt to greenscreen some stuff out from the captures.
Why?
!crop You can also crop
To crop a source in OBS Studio, there are two options:
A. Crop the source directly by holding Alt/Option and dragging the source's resize handles. The sides turn green to indicate they are cropped. Note: the preview and source must be unlocked.
B. Add a Crop Filter to crop the source prior to applying other filters. Note: this filter applies to every instance of the source, regardless of scene.
Crop, mask and get creative
Yeah, cropping would be the first step. Was hoping for something for OBS itself, but I guess I will elsewhere. Have a good day!
That's thing, you don't need anything to be in OBS. In fact, these other solutions would be more customizable for appearance.
And interactive with the cloud based servcies
I was trying to make a checklist on top of an image, so the text part would be transparent instead of using the service's background on top of the image, but I will try to figure it out. Thanks for the suggestions!
how good are you at making websites
That may still be possible. Bigger brains than mine already know how to make visual sources transparent while having the content updateable
I would assume using the Chroma Key filter could help or if I can monkey around with the CSS coding in a browser source, maybe I can alter some stuff.
this is the way
you can apply custom CSS to browser sources
Yes, if the background on the website has a uniform color
this being the second option
if you want to make broadcast graphics in 2025+, learn HTML, CSS and javascript
☝️ this is the way
I already dabble in some coding, just was looking for something more simple in case someone had made it already. Not a problem, will figure it out. Thanks for the help!
Is there anything that would prevent a web page in a Browser Source from updating live?
does it do it in an actual browser?
Yep! Ive been trying to get a checkin system working in OBS. But for some reason no update happens
checked the console?
To expose Chrome Dev Tools for your browser sources, add --remote-debugging-port=1234 --remote-allow-origins=http://localhost:1234/ to your OBS Studio shortcut (where 1234 is your preferred port number) and navigate to http://localhost:1234/ in Chrome to connect to the session.
Omg thank you, I did not know about that. That will help so much!
That makes life so much easier now. Love being able to trouble shoot it in the browser.
The issue is CORS when it trys to fetch the coordinates.
I greatly appreciate it!
Hi guys, good evening! I'm from Brazil, I wanted to know how I can use scripts in OBS, is there a new update?
My obs doesn't have the option, is there an update?
- Auto-Config Wizard
- Browser Not Accelerated
- Safe Mode Enabled (5)
- Wrong Color Range
- Capture Interference
- Insufficient Hardware
- Windows 10 22H2 (OK)
- No Output Session
- 0.7% Rendering Lag
Intel Core i3-10100F @ 3.60GHz - OK! / GeForce GTX 1050 Ti - OK!
you're in safe mode, scripts are disbled in safe mode
Oh I see, so there is no way to use scripts in safe mode. I didn't know, thanks for the information

Hi guys, can somebody please help me with the plug-in source record? I am trying to record the game that I am playing and it is recording, but the image is blurry when my character moves. What settings do I have to change to correct this? My OBS canvas size is 2650x1440 and that is the resolution I am recording. I have an intel ultra nine and a 4090 graphics card. Thanks in advance.
@rough helm Change rate control mode to cqp.
Hi, thx for the reply. I can find that setting in the filter setting window from source record? And all the other settings I leave to default? I saw something with how many passes it does and such. And CBR and stuff like that. All that stays too default?
Oh and then I have another question. In advance audio settings, I can choose what audio goes to what track. I set it to game: 1, mic: 2, discord: 3, music: 4, etc… is this correct? When I play the file in VCL, I hear everything at once. Where do I get the separate audio files? Only when I import the video to for example Pro Tools or some video editor?
@rough helm Pick your hardware encoder first, then you'll see the settings it exposes. The source record plugin may not inherit obs-studio's defaults, check every setting manually.
There should be a checkbox for that, I think it's "different audio".
I've installed Tuna, but I kind of lost. I mean, I did login for my Spotify in that Tuna settings. However, title and artists is not showing up on my Twitch screen. What should I do? I need an easy guide for basic to do song output to showing what I'm listening (title by artists).
did you check the "What are song outputs" section in the Tuna Instructions?
https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/tuna.843/
the blue buttons to enable and disable the instructions are a little weird, but there is just so much info its understandable
I read all of them, but it doesn't help that much. I really don't understand all of it. How am I supposed to do song output for "title" and "artists" from my Spotify playing.
- you output the song info to a local file via the Tuna control panel
- then you use those text files as the content of a Text Source
Hi good day guys, i'm having serious issues adding the animation caption conntroller and preview plugin for obs, please help (windows)
I kind of lost it.
I feel this Tuna (showing music like title and artists) is really difficult understanding.
where specifically are you stuck in the process? you installed Tuna, but then what did you do to set it up to get to this point?
I did installed it for obs-plugin, but I felt that was difficult understanding about song info path and song output like showing title and artists. Also, I did login my Spotify for that. I tried to add source for showing what I was listening.
so you logged into Spotify within Tuna in the Spotify tab
Yes.
in the "Basics" tab of Spotify, click the "Add new" button at the bottom of the Song Info Outputs group
-
make sure to press the Start button at the bottom of the Tuna Control Panel so the Tuna process is actually running
-
Song Info Path is where the TXT file containing the song info will be stored
-
the big list is all the available variables Tuna can look for. It will warn with red text if the service doesnt support a variable
-
the field at the bottom (above the Chat log mode checkbox) is where you enter the display format
-
if you want 1 file with both the Song and Artist in it, use the format
{title} - {artists}(yes, artists, not artist). The TXT file will then contain, for example:Around The World - Daft Punk -
create a Text source in your scene, and tell it to use a local file in its properties window. Point it to the file output by Tuna
Forget about that. I did use window capture for that spotify, though
What hardware encoder do I pick? The same one obs is using?
@rough helm Most likely.
Ok thx
i've set up all plugins but it dosen't work in obs, it works perfectly in browser but it dosen't on obs
it just shows blank
what is "it"
its it
hey i need help my chat wont stay into my obs i unlinked and relinked my account and now my chat wont stay into the obs
like it wont lock in
--------------------------- Falha na autenticação --------------------------- Não foi possível autenticar com Twitch: Failed to get token from remote: Resolving timed out after 5004 milliseconds --------------------------- OK ---------------------------

Hello everyone, I have an interesting situation that I want to try to solve cleanly, which I think I can do using some advanced masking or chroma keys, but can't quite figure out how to apply them. I am preparing scenes for a tv-like live show where we have different guests join throughout the show and talk with the hosts. We bring their video/audio in using vdo.ninja thru browser sources.
Normally what we do is create a background image for the show and cut out the boxes for the video feeds using alpha channels, then layer the guest video feeds below the image and size/crop them to fit in their box. See the example image attached.
We've done this strategy of sizing/cropping for a while, and it works fine, but its kind of a pain when we want to quickly bring in another guest, because I have to resize/crop for each guest, and they may be situated differently than previous guests in their shot. It's especially tedious to recrop each feed so they don't overlap into adjacent boxes, since each box is just an alpha channel, so each guest is kind of on the same plane, and can theoretically be situated on top of another while still being under the image.
Ideally I'd like to be able to just resize guests quickly in the canvas and have it so they are only visible in an exact area on the canvas (guest 1 always will only be visible in box1, guest 2 in box 2, etc..), without having to crop. I've tried doing shape masks with the advanced mask plugin, but this masks the source itself into a specific range, and as I move or resize the source, it moves it on the canvas. What I want is the ease and flexibility of resizing and relocating the entire source in the canvas, to center the guest in their box, without worrying that they will overlap into any other boxes (i.e. without needing to crop to accommodate this). Is there a way to say, "this source will only be visible in this exact pixel range (just in this scene)", so I can freely stretch and relocate them behind that mask?
do you mean like this?
Ok great, didn’t think it would be so simple. I’ll try it when I get home, thank you!
If the scene im updating is not on program, I’ll have to go back and forth between the scene im updating and the nested scene to check if the location works I guess
Unless there is a way to preview two scenes at once?
not sure I understand, are you using studio mode as I am in the video?
the workflow should be pretty much exactly as I did in that video, swapping between scenes in the preview as you need to change them.
Yea I use studio mode, but in the video you made you are moving the source in preview and seeing it update live on program. Which I don’t want to do. I want to update the scene in preview while a completely different scene is on program. But in this method I need to adjust the source in its own scene, then swap preview to look at the full scene, then go back to the source scene to make more adjustment, then back, etc…
yes there are ways to view other scenes then, like with a scene projector for example.
Ok, I’ll look into that later and see if I can make it work. Thanks again
multiviewer
btw I do what you're trying to do a lot and the way to go is with nested scenes like Mitchell said, plus using the group scenes in vdo.ninja
then you don't have to edit scenes while live, you just press a button in the vdo ninja director panel
I can press a button to highlight a different guest vs group view? I tried it once a while ago but can’t remember how it works… from what I recall, it didn’t really work for us because we want to be able to box each guest separately, plus sometimes we do solo shots of each guest, or all guests next to some video/image element like a chart… it’s also why I think doing the nested scenes won’t work, because I want to have one location for the guest in one scene, diff location in the next, so I can’t use the same nested scene in both, I’d need a nested scene for each shot we want, which would be too messy that I’d rather crop
just make sure your guests are roughly in the center of their frame
(which most people are, by default)
you may want to send the broadcast back to them from the director panel, so they can a) see that they're on and b) adjust if they're not centered
Yea I send the program feed with virtual cam, I also route certain audio like transitions and videos, thru a virtual cable with audio monitor plugin
I highly recommend not making things difficult for yourself by setting up a lot of different frames and doing minute adjustments for every guest (unless it's really egregious)
I never send audio back because of feedback issues but that's up to you of course
Yea I only do for like animated transition stingers we make for special segments like a tv show, and maybe into outro music
VDO ninja I find generally does a good job of suppressing for our guests who don’t use headphones
in the director panel if you capture a group scene with &scene=1 then you press that add to scene 1 button and that participant will show up in that scene
you can add multiple if you want or just a single person
So I can do multiple group scenes ?
if you change the number, like &scene=3 (don't use 2) then you can use the s3 button below instead
so how I use that is if I have a host and a guest, I have the guest in scene 1 and the host in scene 3
(because for me the host tends not to change, while the guest does)
so when I need to swap out guests I remove the outgoing one from scene 1 and add the incoming one instead
and I don't have to do anything in obs itself, where I have both those group scenes as a browser source in their own dedicated scenes, which I then nest elsewhere
Ok interesting, I’ll see if we can make it work. We do have sometimes 3 guests on top of the host, some join mid show so I have to do solo talk or send messages to try to get them to frame up (or my co-director does), but it’s harder with the existing task load
But we like to crop them into their own boxes with borders so I’m not sure if group scene would work. Sometimes guests are tiny in the middle of their shot, sometimes they are half the screen… so the cropping is often needed
we like to set up a call ahead of time with our guests to make sure that they have stuff like that right
and you can still fiddle with it even if it's in a nested scene
I just really recommend that you don't :P
Alright I’ll try to put some things together when I get home and report back. Thanks for the help @dusky basin! 🙂
I am having trouble with SE live, I get this thing where OBS will tell me everything is going down (my internet) and lose signal but all my other programs remained connected. Is this a common issue?
!se
That's a troublesome plugin. Head to the SE server for support using it, or head to a support channel here if you want help removing it and setting up better alternatives.

will do thank you
So if I am on ps5 and in discord on a laptop and they’re both connected to a capture card with chatlink can I plug my headphone in the capture card to hear both my console gameplay and laptop discord?
Hi everyone! I am trying to put a filter on my voice so that it sounds like I am talking in kind of a radio voice for communicate with Air Traffic Controllers in Flight Sim. Which Filter would you recommend? Any Default or 3rd party? Thanks!
an EQ with an 8KHz low-pass filter
can you recommend a good and simple EQ?
Thanks mate!
Thx for the tip! It worked great!
Finally got my REAL chatlink
How to make this sound go away?
We produce a podcast. I use Branch Output to record my separate sources for post production. I usually record the audio from each host's mic as the audio source for their cam recording. I've been getting an intermittent echo... could this be the cause?
hey guys is the Aitum Vertical recorder not a thing anymore? i try to install it but its not in the logs(sorry for my terrible english). i'm way better in spech then this ^^"
For help with the Aitum OBS plugin or their tools and services, please join their community Discord server for direct troubleshooting.
Every time I've tried doing 3 streams (Twitch, YouTube, Kick) with aitum multistream plugin where i try to use 3 separate encoders for 3 streams respectively, i am hitting encoding overload/lag. I have tried testing with 2 gpus and 3 gpus with a 6 core 12 thread cpu but no matter what configuration i do, 3 streams where each stream has a separate encoder results in encoding overload. If I use the same encoder for 2 streams (Kick + YouTube) then another encoder for twitch, obs with aitum multistream plugin will not report any issue of encoding overload/lag. Is there an issue with OBS aitum multiteam where the software plugin cannot handle more than 2 stream encoders running at the same time? Would switching to obs-multi-rtmp software plugin resolve the issue of encoding overload/lag when running 3 or more stream encoders for Kick, Twitch, and YouTube at the same time?
@midnight axleA single encoder should be enough for 3x 1080p 60 fps, try using the same graphics card for all 3.
hello i am having a problem with the obs. Everytime i try and start stream I get 0 kbps and its been like this for 2 days now . Before it worked fine

Hi everyone,
I’m working on a shader for the OBS Shaderfilter plugin to create a green glowing border around an image that lights up based on the audio level of a source (values from 0.0 to 1.0).
When I try to load the shader, I get errors related to unexpected or missing types and unexpected code segments. I’m not sure if my declarations or structure are correct for OBS Shaderfilter, or if I’m missing something specific to how it handles shaders.
If anyone has experience with writing shaders for OBS Shaderfilter, or could help me figure out why these errors happen and how to fix them, I would really appreciate it.
I have the full shader code ready and can share it if that would help!
Thanks so much!
ive tried using AI to help with the code and its of no use
You are right I was able to instantiate 3 1080p 60 fps streams with just 1 gpu card, the usage was under 100% for that particular graphics card so the graphics card seems okay with the given workload of running 3 1080p 60 fps live streams. However, I was still experiencing encoding overload/lag after the 3rd stream was going live. This leads me to conclude that this is a software issue with the aitum plugin, not OBS or my graphics card usage?
Hello, where do i go to get help with the Tuna plug in?
@civic flax Here. Post your question.
@midnight axle Try reducing presets (TU1~TU7 for QSV, quality/balanced/speed for AMF, P7~P1 for NVENC).
OK thank you. I'm having an issue with the song name appearing on only one of my scenes. it is working on my starting and ending scenes but my brb one says no song playing even though it's the same txt file
@civic flax Switch to a scene where it works, right-click that scene item and choose Copy, move to the scene where it doesn't work, right-click the Sources dock and choose Paste(reference), does it work?
No i've tried that
!log @civic flax

streaming from console? that maaybe static noise
@civic flax Try asking later and/or try asking on the obsproject.com forums, I can't explain this one.
ok
are you suggesting that using a lower preset will result in no encoding overload/lag? could you elaborate on why you think this is the case?
@midnight axle Hardware encoders are fast but not infinitely fast, and they all have settings to sacrifice efficiency for higher throughput.
I'm having occasional issues with browser sources refusing to work. This is all I see in the logs [obs-browser]: CEF failed to initialize. Exit code: 24. Thoughts?
@untold jay so i was able to get it working (3x 1080p 60 fps streams on one graphics card) on p4 nvenc preset without any encoding overload/lag issues so thank you for that, but how come i couldn't do p6 nvenvc preset and do 3 separate 1080p 60 fps streams on 3 separate graphics cards on the same computer without running into any encoding overload/lag issues?
Also if I wanted to spawn another encoder for one 1080p 60 fps stream on a separate graphics card while doing 3x 1080 60 fps streams on another graphics card, how can this be done without running into any encoding overload/lag issues? Would the best approach to reduce the encoding overload/lag issues is set all 4 streams to use a lower nvenc preset like p4? Or is this not possible to do?

think I answered my own question... portable mode?
It's a known issue I believe based on recent talk in #development.
Not sure if warchamp has "fixed" it or if it's still broken as is.
Copying entire uncompressed frames between GPUs is expensive, possibly more so than just doing the encode on the same GPU. If you want more throughput, you could buy a card with more NVENC units, refer to this: https://developer.nvidia.com/video-encode-and-decode-gpu-support-matrix-new
You can also look into the enterprise sector where dedicated hardware encode units are sold, but all I know about them is that they exist, dunno where or how to find them.
does anyone here use OBS WebSocket js?
I have, yes, why
do you know how I can get a better image size from GetSourceScreenshot
currently it seems its limited to 320x180.
tried setting it to 1920x1080 but doesnt work
what's the source size?
and how are you setting it to 1080p
I'm calling GetSourceScreenshot with width: 1920, height: 1080, but it still returns a 320x180 image. The source is a scene, and its base resolution is 1920x1080
Code:
const { imageData } = await handleOBSCall(res, "GetSourceScreenshot", {
sourceName: scene.sceneName,
imageFormat: "jpeg",
imageWidth: 1920,
imageHeight: 1080,
imageCompressionQuality: 100,
});
not too sure if Im missing something
what if you remove the width and height parameters?
still goes to 320x180
use savesourcescreenshot instead and send here the file it saves
seems to have worked, appreciate it
then getsourcscreenshot will work the same
@untold jay I see. My mistake was buying 3 of the same gpu into one computer and not knowing that copying entire uncompressed frames between GPUs was that expensive. Thank you for this useful information.
@untold jay Could I also ask why streaming on a 2nd graphics card requires copying uncompressed frames from the first encoding graphics card? How come the process isn't just remaking the uncompressed frames on additional graphic cards like replication or creating redundant copies of uncompressed frames that doesn't require copying uncompressed frames between GPUs?
does anybody know if there's a plugin to show Discord names and activity? The streamkit from Discord doesn't seem to work anymore
if obs is rendering on one card and encoding in the other, how else would it send the frames from one to the other?
and if it is rendering on another card than the game, how else is it getting the frames from the game?
ah okay i see the picture. rendering goes first, then encoding is after?
@midnight axle obs-studio was designed to run on consumer-grade PCs, which typically only have one, even dual-graphics laptops are relatively rare. So no one has made what you're describing. But you could run a second copy of obs-studio on the second GPU.
yup. capture > render > encode
i see 👍
@serene void https://streamkit.discord.com/overlay should still be working, does it not?
makes more sense now thanks @fossil wyvern @untold jay
I had it working before, but it doesn't now
This is intentional, browses source refuses to load if a sentinel file is present, this is done to prevent breaking your CEF profile by running multiple copies. Use portable mode if that's a thing on your operating system.
I made a tool that allows you to have a true in game overlay with controls for both obs and media controls (it's kinda buggy and just barely work and can crash)
But here
https://github.com/BWisen/OBSO-OBS-Overlay-
I'm not sure if I'll continue to work on it but I at least want people to see it and maybe attempt to make something better.
Enjoy
hi hi! i was wondering if there was any way to activate/start playing a media source (audio file, mp3/ogg) based on the source's visibility? am not figuring out how to do so by smashing my head into the wall
Check the box "Restart Playback..." in the media source properties window.
made another source to start from zero and it does not seem to be playing
copied your settings to the letter and all
!s head to a support channel, post a screenshot of the source properties window there

Hi all. I've now published my little tool called Framer.
I hope it can help others with big ultra wide screens like me, who don't capture the whole screen, but only one part of it.
How can I add a RMTP key to OBS Studio in the capture section, not going out but as an input?
you don't use a key to have it as an input
just put the url of the stream in a media source
@fossil wyvern does that work better then Browser source?
less heavy
@fossil wyvern when I do that, it stays a black screen don't even show whats on the url
what url are you putting?
that's not the url of a rtmp stream
how do I get the url of rtmp? the server that we use only has output no input
by "the server" you mean twitch's ingest servers?
Well we use GoLightstream cause some of our computers shut off by themselves, and figured its easier to stream to twitch, and go from there
what are you actually trying to do?
Where would I find the output from twitch
what are you actually trying to do?
Get more then one stream coming in, and then using obs for other features and stream out to multistream
use vdo.ninja
whats that
is it a plugin for obs or entierly differnt software
neither
Am I able to change the audio channel on it as well, so say I am on the left side of the screen can I change my stream to left channel, and the other to the right channel in audio settings
could be doable, maybe with two rooms, but probs doable
is it better then multitwitch.com
try and see?
They're using playstation streaming not pc
Hi, i'm using a Plugin From Streamelements to record clips for Tiktok and the like on OBS. My problem, when attempting to end the recording OBS enters a nonresponsive state and I'm given the wait or close prompt to which I've chosen close and have copied the link of the previous log since. Am I allowed to post that link here for some help in understanding what to do?
would I need to go to another chat for help?

wrong server if you are looking for players.
can I use advanced scene swither instead of move filter and get same motion? or not possible
also is it possible to view my filters as code ?
I want to read them as code
no
not sure what this means
I want to see the raw code behind the filters like what they do with my current settings
for example source A with filter that changes its Pos
I want that but as code no UI
I can't view current filters data in any shape?
or extract their values and what they do for the source
I want to draw workflow
flowchart
like I said, github or whereever you downloaded the filter from if it was one that didn't come with obs
the values you set you can find in your scene collection json
where I get the connection json , websocket ?
okay will try to figure that out
Is there a plugin that allows blurring out a face thats moving live on the stream?
if you have an NVIDIA GPU you can use the move plugin w/ the NVIDIA AR filter + the blur plugin.
ive been vib ecoding some custome shaderfilter shaders for us
i have implenmented a shaders to have animateed texture mapped cubes and spheres, with lots of lighting options
hello, the changes made by eg. crop/pad filter not informing the subsequent filters is a known issue?
I've only managed to get over this by readding the subsequent filters
guys plz help me , in obs when i use window capture my capture window quality got decrease [;
anyone ? is there
hi can someone help me? im unaware of which file i have to download when it shows up with all of these ***
if you are using windows computer get the windows installer
hello all, I'm not sure if this is the place to post this, and happy to be told to go elsewhere!
How would a company go about getting a preset for streaming destination added to OBS? (such as the twitch , youtube or facebook options)
a representative of the service can make a pull request with changes to this file:
https://github.com/obsproject/obs-studio/blob/master/plugins/rtmp-services/data/services.json
Thank you for your help!
Where would I make this request once I have the code snippet ready?
Is it possible to add the service by a plugin?
No, it is a long term goal to make it happen.
I was gonna do like a text slideshow filter, but when I check it, it doesn’t have a MacOS version, is there a way to do it without the filter?
there is a mac version, just not for their alpha version
scroll down to the 1.5.2 version, go to Assets, and download the .pkg one
How do I find assets section?

Hi ! I’m not sure if I'm in the right place to ask, but I'm facing a problem and can't find a way to resolv it.
I’m trying to render existing sources to an off-screen texture using gs_texrender and obs_source_video_render. For most sources it works fine, but for some sources (especially Window Capture), I’m getting a lot of warnings like:
warning: gs_effect_loop: An effect is already active
I'm not really sure what an effect is exactly nor why this happen on certain source and not other. I’d really appreciate pointers to docs or examples if that helps.
If you need more informations code snippet or anything I can provide it just ask.
Thanks so much in advance 🙏
Do you need assistance?
no just sharing something i put together
hello new here trying to find help my obs keeps freezing and not responding it worked perfectly fine last week before i moved houses but now it jus freezes and saying no response i close the app and try to reopen it and it says its already open ive reset my whole pc to basically new and still same thing after i reinstalled it also doing it with streamlabs as well so i cant stream at all
I was wondering if anyone could help me setup OBS, or atleast how to open it.. I've downloaded it but have no clue where to find it.
I'm having an issue with Downstream Keyer where if I open the filter window for any scene that DSK is using, OBS crashes without saving a crash log. I'm on OBS 31.1.0 beta 3 and I have at least 5 DSKs, all but one of them having an output source. Anyone know why this might be happening and how to prevent it from crashing?
Have you tried downgrading to stable OBS yet?
No, I'll try it now, though.
The main reason I didn't go to 31.0 stable was because in the past, I had an issue where media sources wouldn't restart upon being shown
It does it on stable, too.
I'm wondering if it has something to do with the chain of output sources from the plugin that I have.
you'd probably want to report that in the issues section for the plugins github page.
Got it.
I have a question maybe about Plugins, can't tell exactly.
I only use CEF as Source that is streaming, and I'd like to interrupt the YT Livestream every 8 hrs and reset the CEF source (cache erase is enabled in CEF-Plugin).
Step 1: Stop Stream, Disable Source, End Youtube Livestream
Step 2: Start Youtube Livestream, Start Stream, Enable Source once OBS is sending at a bitrate over 0.
Optional: Youtube Livestream gets a distinctive title (by date).
I'd be glad to know if there are Plugins that can manage that or if I have to script anything.
!ass advanced scene switcher can likely do steps 1 and 2. And possibly the optional but not certain
!advss
You can use powerful macros in OBS Studio using timers, cursor detection, window detection, and more to automate switching between scenes, toggle sources, and many other options.
To get started, install the Advanced Scene Switcher plugin and see the GitHub project wiki to learn how to use it.
Well then I'll check, u think that this can manage the whole operation ?
yup
hi im poland

It looks super good!
thx
hi
Hey everyone! 👋
Built a small tool called Mynofi that monitors OBS, ShadowPlay & Audacity in the background. It sends instant notifications if your recording stops, stream fails, or detects freeze/black screen(webcam) issues.
Made it after losing too many recordings myself 😅
Happy to share it free with this community since you all help each other so much with OBS issues.
If anyone's interested, just DM me! Always looking for feedback to make it better.
you can propose it as a ressource on the obs forum
but forthe record, for obs, adv-ss can also eeasily do that
Yeah Ik that but there's one crazy feature that adv-ss can't do so that's why I built it. This tool can also send you notification if you're streaming/recoding and your camera/webcam turns off and this is life saving feature, I've tested this with a youtuber with 5m+ subs 🫠
Yeah sure I'll do that, thanks🫠
Seriously!! I'll check it again now
Honestly it's always crazy to see what ass can do
wth!! 🤣

bro can you please send me this plugin link please? I can't find this on google and wanna check it.
read the bot's message
got it bro👍

I’m having an Adv-SS issue. I have the macros running all the time. When I start recording I have them set to “start on recording” but they stop working as soon as we record. If I manually stop them and start them during recording they start again. Any thoughts on what’s going on or how to fix this?
talking about adv-ss, my macro didn't perform as expected this morning.
actually I wrote a very small shell script to figure that out
timeout 120 browserofyourchoice http(s)://youtube.com/.../livestreaming
And for what I can see OBS is not calling the shell script, as I don't see any browser showing up for 120 seconds.
Rights (user: rwx, group: r-x, other: r-x), loc: /home/user/Desktop
General logic: IF timer <= 8hrs OR stream stopped >=10 Minutes
- Stop Streaming (logic for IF)
- Scene item vis: Hide CEF (logic for IF)
- Wait for 5 Minutes
- Run: Call chromium.sh
- Wait 1 Minute
- Start streaming
- Wait 4 Seconds
- Scene item vis.: Show CEF
Am I missing something ?
Yes I'm missing something, that script should not be in userspace, now I'll have to wait the trigger is set 💦
Is there a plugin that allows us to interact with say, a game capture the same way you can interact with a browser in OBS? If not, why not? If so, what's the plugin? 😮
nope
game capture just pulls the frames from the GPU and displays them. There is no interaction that passes thru from OBS back to the game
I use streamavatars, and sometimes I wanna move the character but want to see my vtuber model, too, and not distort the entire obs display of streamavatars
Sometimes I interact with them and when I used to have only one pc it was easy, just have streamavatars on the other screen, but now with two pcs...well. I searched of there was a way to make teh background transparent in-game, but I coudln't find anything. Streaming it from another obs from the gaming pc to the streaming pc worked well, but I have a capture card now and would rather avoid using internet/distroav unless I really really need to, so yeah.
I tried minimizing the screen but uh, streamavatars also got minimized on stream also XD
So I figured, ya know, if I could either interact with Streamavatars in obs, or somehow have a small dock version of it that was interactable, it would solve all my problems with that, so yeah.
Sooo any ideas? XD
You already have an entire operating system for that, y'know.
read my post about why
Ah, I see
oh yeah
i also tried steam streaming but uhhhh
lemme just say its horrible XD
Actually, there is something. Install altsnap https://github.com/RamonUnch/AltSnap/releases , go to the Mouse tab and change scroll wheel action to "transparency". Hit Apply, then select a window, hold Left Alt and scroll down. This'll let you see windows beneath the currently active window, but will require you to be playing windowed or borderless as well.
uh, what is that thing actually for, anyway?
@magic nebulaOn some Linux systems, you can drag and resize a window from anywhere by holding Alt, instead of having to aim at the title bar or resizing handles. This is what AltDrag was originally made for, but has since ceased to be maintained and has some bugs on Windows 10; AltSnap fixes them and adds some new features.
ah, I see
Ooooh, wonderful! Wonderful! Thank you! Exactly what I wanted! I'm assuming we just go back up afterwards? Is the transparency noticeable in obs? I quickly checked but it seems not? 😮
nvm I just noticed it on screen under the transparent background lol
@magic nebula This effect should only be visible on display capture.
gotcha
*fact checks*
yep
poof XD
Nice, that scroll is neat!
ooh you mean it was made to add that feature for windows?
@magic nebula Yes. Windows should totally ship with this preinstalled, but alas, license won't allow it.
can we change the key to activate the scrolling or is it hardcoded?
@magic nebula Choose modifier key(s) on the Keyboard tab.
ah ok thx!
question, i'm using a webcam cover from nerd or die that does live notifications and sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't and they are saying the issue is on your side do you know how to fix it? it's the reactive webcam overlay
this is what they told me: As its a issue with OBS. the only thing u can really do is clear the cache
!cleanlog Let's see if anything sticks out in a log. Follow all the steps below.
To help resolve your issue, we need to view a log file from a fresh launch of OBS Studio containing an output session. Follow these instructions to upload a clean log file:
- Restart OBS Studio first!
- Start your stream/recording replicating any issues (meaning having any games/apps open and captured, etc.)
- Stop your stream/recording after 30 seconds or after the issue has occurred
- Click the Help menu → Log Files → Upload Current Log File
- Paste the URL into this Discord channel
I believe I solved that matter in a pretty dirty way, I didn't get the 'run' to run anything in adv-ss on deb12.
But as allways you learn stuff, trying stuff 😂
What I didn't understand at all is:
I build a shell script:
timeout 120 (konsole -e) chromium <url>
Folder: /home/user/Desktop/chromium.sh -> leaves path untouched
Folder: /var/obs-shellscript/chromium.sh (777 +x) -> creates a directory in /run/user/<id>/doc/<hexgen>/chromium.sh (??? +x)
The 2nd path is not available after booting and is generated by starting OBS.
My best guess is that it is something related to Flatpak, but I don't have enough knowledge about this matter.
ok i'll try to replicate it and let you know when it happens.
also, does the "collab" cam work in obs?
You don't need to replicate it specifically, I'm more looking for if you have any obvious connection issues. If an alert fires or doesn't fire, it isn't logged anyways.
Who is the collab cam from? Twitch, Own3d, etc?
oh ok i'll get the log to you then
the collab cam will be from twitch, like when you collab with another streamer, i'd like their audio/video to appear on my stream and vice versa

HI
Question about the face tracker plugins:
if i'm using a green screen scene, and i want to zoom in on my face, where would i place the plugin? trying to place it on a scene-source, the scene itself, but nothing is working!
This might have been mentioned before but the Branch Output Plugin is really really good. I recently switched from using Source Recorder to Branch Output and i was pleasantly surprised, i had nothing but audio issues with Source Recorder no matter what audio encoder i used, and didn't know Branch Output existed. Zero Audio issues. Also if you're into multi streaming i believe it has that capability too.
PS. NOT AN AD lol
for multistreaming, unless you need more than two different content streamed, I'd advise the aitum multistream, far easier to setup and control
but yee branch output good
Yeah true, i don't use it for multi streaming! So good though, and far better than Source Record!
on the topic of source record, someone posted this in another channel and I thought it was pretty cool https://github.com/wesbos/source-record-ui
O.O i need to implement something like that into my tablet mixing surface
oh interesting

Hello, does anyone know the source of this problem: I can no longer start 2 YouTube lives at the same time (Short + 16:9). YouTube switches the window of one of the two stream previews to the same live. My OBS is perfectly optimized and contains the Aitum plugin for other streams.
So uhhh....
Any fix planned??? :D
For this plugin https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/advanced-scene-switcher.395/, how do I set it up so when I use the freeze filter and freeze my sources this plugin would notify me?
@silk kernel Add a "if filter" condition, choose the source and filter that needs checking, then add a "system tray notification" action.
What about for these options?
@silk kernel Choose "is enabled", then it'll throw a notification when the filter is enabled.
For the disabled one do I add another condition one under it?
@silk kernel You need notifications for when it's off too?
Yea
@silk kernel Add another macro for that, then.
So I need 2 separate macros and not 1 doing both?
@silk kernel Yes.
ok so i'm trying to set up my virtual cam for stream together and it's still not letting me select the virtual cam
HELLO
anyone on that can help with the typewriter effect for a text source with the move plugin?
is that the man himself...
I can't help you do it, but if you encounter an issue please provide the steps you have taken, the results and the expected result
Things are not typing out properly. im going to provide screenshots. they are getting cut off
Do they also get cut off when you put the text in the text source yourself?
no they work when I do that.
i assumed my timings were off but there is plenty of time between the end of one action and the start of the next.
Can you try without easing on the typing?
its already like that.
i turned it on earlier to test it out now that you mention it
when you open the settings of the text source after the typing is all text there?
Yes actually
It was earlier when i checked
I wonder if there's something wrong with my obsraw code of if there's something i can do to work around the issue
Is the text source set to use custom text extents?
no. let me try it
it still messes up like that
are there other filters on the text source?
dropshadow
actually no
just two move values
one to set and one to delete
or clear
so the rounded corner background is not part of it?
does it work when you set the typing time much higher?
higher than 1600ms?
and just to be sure what version of the move plugin?
wheres the best place to find that?
at the bottom of the settings of the move value filter or in the OBS log file
it is the latest version
I am not able to replicate it on my system yet, so trying to find out what might be different
could i export the scene and sb action for you?
yes a source copy of the scene and export of the action might help
just bumping this one in case anyone happens to know ❤️
the text is correct in 'NE - New Rotator Shape' but not in 'NS - Webcam' ...
here is your issue:
the scene itself??
on 'NS - Webcam' right click 'NE - New Rotator Shape' -> Transform -> edit Transform
Im not sure what im missing
unlock the source to allow editing it
Its too late for me. my brain isnt working
the tiktok chat for the SE.Live plugin is not working can someone fix this please

the only difference I see at the moment is the font used
tried the font, that is not the issue
ah, by slowing my OBS I was able to replicate, the settings are not applied before the move value is started, easiest fix is putting a delay between setting the settings and enabling the filter in streamerbot
Hey,
I have an issue related to the Audio Monitor plugin (version 0.9.2)
When I launch OBS, the audio monitor fader is correctly set to a very low volume (about 10%) (as previously configured), but the sound is very loud. Every time I open OBS, I have to move it a tiny bit for the actual volume to be taken into account (so, it seems like when the plugin is inited, it sets the faders to the previously set config, but not the actual setting).
Is it a known issue?
Thanks.

I have a question is their a way for the profiles to not affect each other on OBS
they don't
when i was using it and removed a tab from my sources it removed the tab from the other profile
sources are not saved in the profile but in the scene collection
profiles have no effect on sources
Oh my lord. I was literally saying that earlier in our conversation. I thought i was stupid for thinking that and diddnt even try it 😭
Thank you so much for all the help. I cant tell you how much i appreciate it!
Are there any good programs for video editing that have a quick learning curve?
!editors
Some may have a quick learning curve for you. Depends on your experience level with editing, with software in general, etc.
For a list of recommended post-production software, including video editors, see our list of Post Production Tools
Ah no! I have tried a couple of those and they made things worse.
XSplit Express Video Editor - rotated my video and I'm unable to use that program to make it right again.
Blender just crashes myu computer - I don't need 3D editing!
I want advice from a human not a bot
believe it or not that article of recommendations was written by a human, and was also linked to you by a human.
I would say just use davinci resolve which is also in that guide.
Yes. Yet, I dont need to review 20 of them to find one. I was looking for one or 2 go tos that people here use.
human here. use resolve.
DaVinci Resolve 20 or DaVinci Resolve Studio 20?
well unless you want to pay $300 I'd say the former
Thank you -- I'll test that.
You asked for recommendations but with the caveat of " that have a quick learning curve". That's really up to you. Resolve does not have a quick learning curve unless you have used other editing software in the past. I've used it for a couple years and it is pretty much overkill for the first time user, unless you are going to develop your editing skills to making it a paying gig for yourself.
Editing apps are simply tools. Some better than others. Some with way more features than others.
It's good to know that Resolve isn't working for my computer.
Graphic driver issues and it gave no indication which ones or where to get them.
how so
what graphics card do you have
Nothing special... I'm sure
!log If you send an OBS log, that will tell us which GPU you have
didn't know that model, what manufacturer is it from?
It's a ACER Aspire r7-572 Laptop -
what graphics card do you have?
It says
Intel(R) HD Graphics Family
people are offering to assist you in getting an editor working, not sure why thats funny
I mean this is off topic anyways so if you don't wanna do it heh
I think it could be a Intel HD Graphics 4400
You could be right there
It's funny cause I'm not using OBS to edit. lol
yeah we know
The bot keeps on interjecting information that not relevant.
the bot is trigerred by humans
it can be, since it can give more details about your hardware setup
This is in the wrong channel, please thread
because this is for obs
According to Directx Diagnostics - The way to see what Graphics hardware I have it shows this.
no threads on this server except for very specific, dev related things
you know, at some point, when we're getting out of our way to help you when we shouldn't, and you refuse to follow basic instrucrions.... why should we?
I'd suggest asking davinci's support
I'm confused
hi confused, I'm pen
oh most do
Whew.
In ShaderFilter, these previous texture options and previous image options, is that hooking into OBS like "sources" level of abstraction, or is that like "texture processed on the previous tick", like internal to the shader?
https://github.com/exeldro/obs-shaderfilter/commit/c2c3f0df032834b904d77123c86c2160027b7ec2
I'm interested in video feedback applications
@cinder wagon Want to create a droste effect? Try the source clone plugin + obs main view source plugin + render delay filter (built-in).
TY, had not heard of this one. Is it this one?
@cinder wagon Yes.
Alsos did not know it was called that, neat, thx.
I've not had much with render delay plugin built-in, not sure what it's maximum delay value is
@cinder wagon 500 ms, but you can chain multiple of them. The upper limit is 500 to prevent people from accidentally running out of VRAM.
ahhh, smart
Do you happen to know for the Move Value plugin how to get "wrap-around" values. For my use, I would to control (color correction) Hue Shift, and have it go 0-100 and then wrap around. In other contexts like a LFO, I think this would be a Ramp.
I use two Move Value, and kinda ping-pong between them. But I'm confused about the transiton between the two, to get that "ramp" / wrap around effect.
@cinder wagon I would use multiple move filters, have filter 1 change from 0 to 34, set "next move" to filter 2, have filter 2 change from 34 to 67, and so on.
Add another filter that goes from 100 to 0 in 0 ms.
With no easing, maybe? 🤔 I seem to recall always getting a "judder" at the wrap-around point, or a ... disontinuity (?)
With Luck, Exeldro might drop by and enlighten us. But in the meantime, try it out.
yeah, ugh, it's just so clunky setting up all the Move Effects. 😅😅 And I haven't found a great way to save/template them, cuz if hte sources change, all the filters have to be done over
(And the way I have been doing feedback is super clunky, with capturing an external display, with a EDID-dummy; Main View Source plugin might help out there.)
There is also a recursive plugin that Exeldro made
Yeah I use that a bunch too
Some effects need to happen "between" the recursive copies. If that makes sense.
The green "plasma" effect here is recursion effect, I kinda forgot how I did it. I think Advanced Mask, Recursion effect, and like some blur in there with some opacity cycling maybe
Another classic recursion effect, the limitaiton I run into here is when a source clips outside the screen that is being sampled, you get boxy cutoffs.
I'm new to streaming almost at 700
Followers and I need help ok
Welcome to the OBS community support channel. If you have a question, go ahead and ask it, and if someone is available to help they'll respond. Try to be detailed, and provide a log if you are having issues with streaming/recording (Help -> Log Files -> Upload Current Log). Please be patient if someone doesn't respond right away!
Can anyone give their 5-10 MUST HAVE plugins?
I’d love to see which ones I don’t have and which ones I’ve been missing my whole life.
They are only “must-have“ if you have a reason or need to have them in the first place. Plugins fill a need.
Ones that just make OBS generally better, but like I said, ‘their’ must have.
So feel free to tell me yours.
if you need to blur something, the the Composite Blur plugin is a go-to
i have 50+ plugins installed, all fitting particular needs i had
What are your 5 most used?
One that I personally cannot do without is “SceneTree Folder”
anything by Exeldro is going to be top notch for the most part
I think over half of my plugins are Exeldro's

Do you need help with something? This is the OBS Community server for the OBS Project.
that is a prompt for midjourney
hello, good morning. do obs have a plugin or a calendar to schedule the playback automatically? For example monday at 08:30 (tom & jerry) monday 08:42 (bug bunny) and so on to create a list already programmed for a week or at least for a day, in which you drag the series or movie to the calendar.
not really
obs isn't really meant for that
there are many solutions that do that using casparcg however
!advss @heady hazel Nothing purpose-built, but the advanced scene switcher plugin can play things in media sources based on current system time.
@heady hazel
You can use powerful macros in OBS Studio using timers, cursor detection, window detection, and more to automate switching between scenes, toggle sources, and many other options.
To get started, install the Advanced Scene Switcher plugin and see the GitHub project wiki to learn how to use it.
yeah you can do things on a schedule with advss but you're gonna hate yourself if you try to use that to schedule playout like they're asking
It only changes the scene, but it doesn't simplify things. I also have to create folders per day with two chapters per series in each folder. I have to create an entire directory, like a labyrinth, for just one day. They have the option to stream to TV, but everything is very manual. It's even complicated to stream live and present videos, since everything is completely manual, and you have to flip and watch.
I only know how to program in Visual Studio, but there are no resources for obs... I swear that if there was a base I would create the system and integrate it.
ignore the name, AdvSS can do much more than scene switching
but again obs is not really made for playout
It has the option to stream on multiple channels... rtms hls m3u http etc etc
yes, it's meant for live broadcasting
!devgettingstarted @heady hazel If you want to develop a new feature or plugin for obs-studio, you can read these:
@heady hazel
To get started with OBS development, read this guide.
!plugintemplate
A template for new OBS plugins including boilerplate code and CI scripts can be found at https://github.com/obsproject/obs-plugintemplate
you can (and many people do) use actual playout systems together with obs
if you don't mind programming yourself, you can create the system you need and use obs-websocket to automate playback
as in, your system would select what media file to play based on whatever criteria you need, and then instruct obs using obs-websocket to play that media file using a media source
As for advanced scene switcher, can I add a delay to the system tray notification?
with a wait action, yeah
How would I do it exactly?
just add the wait action before the notificationa ction
In the action section?
yes
Atm it looks like this
yes, add a wait action before the notification action
Like this?
Do I use fixed or random for the "wait for" drop box?
well, do you want it fixed, or random?
This
right... Do you want to wait for fixed duration of x seconds?
Or do you want to wait for random duration of some value you can't configure?
So if I want custom do fix
both can be customised
correct, that's literally what it means, a fixed (assigned) duration.
the question is, do you want the duration to be fixxed or random
the random can be configured
you give it bounds
huh, TIL something. Never even tried it because I always wanted it on-time
If I select each one and test them I see what changes. Fixed only has duration and seconds box. If I use random it shows 2 sets of each
yes?
what do you not understand?
yes
fixed is JUST the one value. 5 second, for example
Random will pick a random amount of time between a Minimum value and a Max
I guess I want one set
Does anyone know any good translator plugins or anything like that for closed captioning
Ok the next thing I want to do is do the notification thing and after 5 secs of it shown then it goes away and the moment it goes away have the freeze filter unfreeze. Would that be possible?
just add another wait for the same duration and then unfreeze?
does anybody have a link to a plugin that lets me put obs as my discord camera?
that's built-in and called virtual camera
i had to download a plugin last time..
that must have been a while ago because virtual cam has been built-in for years at this point
it was last year
My end goal is for freezing have it freeze and after 1 sec show the notification and after the notification vanishes it stays idle and when I unfreeze it have it stay frozen for 7 seconds and and before the 7 secs is done have the notification appear then it unfreezes after it goes away
then you didn't need to download it
what is a plugin that allows you to embed a scene in a scene as a source
Don't need a plug. You can add a scene as a source.
greyed out
You have to add it as new the first time as a source
You are selecting for a new source the Scene type?
got it thank you
Hey guys, does anyone know his way around source record? I have the problem that OBS freezes when I stop the recording.
If you need help with StreamElements products or services, please join their Discord server or submit a support ticket. The StreamElement's support team is better positioned to help with your issue.
can you put a face tracker plug in on a big scene with green screen stuff on it and zoom into the part on the scene? or can you ONLY put a face tracker filter on a camera / video source?
I am also experiencing a freeze, when I stop the stream
HELLO
don't see any reason it wouldn't work
Hi, I need some advice. I have this simple action but I need it to repeat itself so that the image pops up and pops up again. In this endless loop.. I do whatever I want for 20 seconds, nothing then it shows up for 20 seconds and then disappears again but only once and I would like to support how should I do it?
you make two actions, one condition is if the source is visible and the other is if it is not. for both of them you just wait 20 seconds and then make it do the opposite.
you could do that, yes, or you can add a Sequence item and set the index back to 1, which loops the macro
which seems more elegant to me
you could even choose a different point to loop from than the start, like doing actions 1, 2, 3, 4, 2, 3, 4, etc.
oh wait adv-ss has else actions as well, could just do it all in one with that in a similar way to what I mentioned
I don't see how one would need else actions here
there is a simple list of tasks: show sceneitem, wait, hide sceneitem, wait, loop
yeah sure, I have never used sequence actions I was just amending my original recommendation as it wouldn't need to be two separate macros.
Hey friends, I'm contemplating switching away from PPT for our company's convention/event stageshow presentations, been using OBS for over a decade (even having setup our company's original stream setup) and evaluating whether it'd be best to use OBS, Resolume, keynote, or some hybrid solution and wondering if you all could help let me know about the feasibility of a few of these things.
1: Is there any way to have a multi-line text file/csv/excel file and specify the text line/cell to use for a text source?
2: While I know there's VLC Video source, there's no way to set a "video slideshow" with the ability to loop the individual media items. Is there any way to set up a "playlist" or the order to play looping videos for a video source?
1 : not natively but could be done with a custom script or an URLsource
2 : maybe I'm misunderstanding smth but VLC source does allow you to make a playlist
obs isn't really the (sole) tool for that job, though it can be wrangled with to do it
I assume you need the csv/text file for lower thirds?
2 - Right, it does, but it just auto-plays from 1 file to the next without being able to loop an item in an array/list. I guess what I'm trying to figure out is - is there any way to add any logic or use "variables" with the media source referencing say the name of the scene, or, have a list/array of files that you can loop and choose what array index is played?
doable with a scrript too, or adv-ss, but at this point yeah might be worth figuring if you don't have better tools to do it
In a sense, yes, more full screen text - like what I did here at 9:17 for the text on screen: https://www.youtube.com/live/mvsx1FzIKEg?feature=shared&t=557
the "#riskofrain"?
the "WHAT HAVE WE BEEN UP TO?" or other things like that
oh I thought that was just a slide
it is
here's the problem I'm trying to solve - when it's a static image with text over it, PPT is fine. When you start getting to say https://www.youtube.com/live/mvsx1FzIKEg?feature=shared&t=1774 (29:34) and you want to have looping BG videos with text over top, since it's the year 2025 and PPT still can't figure out that GPUs exist, you can often times get hitching/stuttering even when videos are encoded at 25-15mb/s
oh yeah powerpoint is garbage in all sorts of ways
keynote is way better at that
ugh youtube is crumbling around me for some reasonm
here's what I mean by the stutter - 32:28 you see it: https://www.youtube.com/live/mvsx1FzIKEg?feature=shared&t=2002
how much control do you get because if someone came up to me and was like "hey instead of a ppt/keynote I want to plug in my whole-ass computer and do my slides withg resolume" I would not generally be happy about it
well really I have full say over how we make our presentations a reality, and as far as the conventions are concerned they're just displaying a video in source via our laptop. Granted...1 of the two locations we regularly do these at is 15 min drive from me, the other is across the country (meaning I'd strongly prefer not to need to lug a desktop around). We're upgrading our hardware as well that we use, but, trying to figure out the most optimal/streamlined manner in making this a reality while still keeping it "agile" (read: able to make adjustments to the show even just prior to going live)
ah
well like I said you can certainly wrangle obs to do what you want but I don't think it's the most pain-free way
I think the best option would actually just be keynote instead of powerpoint
Well since we're getting a macbook that's now a reality
another common option for slideshows (that also offers pro video output over blackmagic hardware) is propresenter
and Mitti is a popular macos playout app
(both paid though)
right, I've looked at Mitti as well
Keynote covers my needs (except for SDI output but I get by, propresenter is out of my budget) so I tend to just use that
@carmine viper @dusky basin Hi, thanks for the advice but it doesn't work for me, do you know where I'm wrong?
unset this
yes, thank you very much.
I can’t open obs help please!!
If you need help or have questions about OBS, check out our #support-portal first!
I posted in apple support already
Then you'll need to wait until someone can help.
Not everyone is familiar with Macs and it's either late US for some or EARLY EU time.
today ishow speed streamed on youutbe and twitch at the same time, and his youtube stream had totally differnt overalys then his twitch stream how did he do this. I have multpiple output rtmp plugin but im not sure how to do it
I use this code to update a stream key.
import OBSWebSocket from "obs-websocket-js";
const obs = new OBSWebSocket();
await obs.connect(process.env.OBS_WEBSOCKET_URL, process.env.OBS_WEBSOCKET_PASSWORD);
await obs.call("SetStreamServiceSettings", {
streamServiceType: "rtmp_custom",
streamServiceSettings: {
bwtest: false,
key: process.argv[2],
server: "rtmp://hel03.contribute.live-video.net/app",
use_auth: false,
},
});
But when I run obs.call("StartStream") the stream key resets to the previous one.
Is there a way to fix that?
P.S. Looks like the problem was fixed by restarting OBS.
So it was impossible to change the stream key remotely.
Hi here, Q: is there an way to use OBS with OCR to save all text into text file ?
Bud wanted to ask 35.000 people for help
Good thing that doesnt work here
Ok nice
Hi there, I installed the source record plugin and having difficulties with the replay buffer part. I have enabled it in filters but it hasn't shown up on hotkey list. Thanks
@upbeat glacier You should activate the filter.
Oh yeah, that helped 😄 At least for the webcam but not game capture hmm. Both webcam and game capture are on the same scene and source.
Okay I got it after some tweaking around. Thanks Chiyo ❤️
I set up hotkeys and tested them via my stream deck, only the replay buffer save works. I tried by changing different hot keys and double checking the folders, finally I reduced the seconds saved
@upbeat glacier Try binding F13 through F24, obs-studio can recognize those.
I need help so l trying to have a screen where the grow garden like this screen
anyone know where advance scene switcher saves its logs?
For me at least (obs 31, linux) it's written directly in the OBS log. All log entries are prefixed with [adv-ss].
ah yes, i see now, thanks
I think it's better if I explain my situation first-
I heard that OBS is good for PNG avatars, and I want to use one for discord when I stream games/drawing/etc, but I am lost on a few things, one of these being the Auto-Configuration Wizard, on one part it asks for a server/service (idk) and there's only things like Youtube, Twitch, but no discord. What should I do for that?
Because discord doesn't have a steaming service and its just voice/video chat.
As far as getting the above to discord you simply get a scene setup with all the sources you want, start the virtual camera, and use that as your camera in discord.
Oooh alrighty alrighty, what's a source though? I'm new to OBS and it's very confusing
!new
✨ If you're new to OBS Studio:
- follow the Quick Start Guide to set up your first scene and get streaming/recording
- learn more about the interface in the Overview Guide
- follow the Stream Layout Tutorial series to create a stream-friendly layout, including setting up alerts and a chat box
🎞️ If you prefer to learn with videos, check out:
- our OBS Studio Tutorials video series presented by EposVox
- EposVox's OBS Studio Master Class series
- Nerd or Die's How to Stream with OBS Studio series
Oooh thanks :D
OBS Studio contains a virtual camera that allows you to output your scenes' video to application such as Discord, Skype, etc. To learn how to use this feature, see the following guides:
- Virtual Camera Guide for basic setup instructions
- Video Call Streaming Tutorial to set up virtual audio in addition to video
- Virtual Camera Troubleshooting for installation and removal instructions
Okay uhm, when I try to stream, it says something about an URL or smth else not being valid
Is there something I'm missing? Like a video url or similars?
Also I found another issue. I use discord reactive for my png avatar, but it doesn't show up outside of OBS, is it an OBS issue or a DR issue?
By that I mean, I want to stream on discord, but the PNG avatar doesn't show up, only in OBS
Basically this. The "you just added a browser source!" is supposed to be outside of OBS, but for some reason it only stays inside the OBS screen
This is literally the only "best" thing I can do
turns out it may be a DR issue, idk
You can share your OBS Studio content over video call services such as Zoom, Skype, Discord, etc. by following the Video Call Streaming Tutorial.
This will show in the Virtual Camera output, and in Streams and Recordings. Not anywhere outside of OBS besides those.
literally nothing is working wha- (its probably a DR issue or I am dumb)
Does anyone have a recommendation of a Plugin that potentially replaces the built in Studio mode?
Something that example just has visual or elements that tell me if I'm looking at what the stream sees, versus another scene then when I click transition it updates?
Versus having two video previews always present?
When not in Studio Mode, the OBS preview is the output that the stream will see.
You can set up viewing the preview at full screen or a window, no plugin needed
How do I do this?
Cause I want to preview another scene, then choose when to transition, but don't want to have the stream see the other scene till I click transition like how studio mode works. Just without two previews always showing.
So you want Studio Mode for the Preview side, just not the Program's view.
Do you need to interact with the scene's sources in Preview before transitioning it to Live?
I'm looking for a plugin that's similar to Gyazo
basically, with OBS in the background, I want to hit a hotkey that triggers a prompt for me to drag to select the region I want to record
Does something like this already exist?
@next obsidian You described ShareX: https://getsharex.com/

@lime musk NDI working on OBS 31.1.0, plugin is also on the latest version on both PCs
Trying to create a transparent, blurred area on my main screen but I'm not sure how to do it. I tried installing the composite blur plugin but I fail to understand how to keep it transparent and blurred at the same time if that makes sense
Something like this
if you mean you want it to blur layers below it, that is not currently possible
@untold geyser I'll try to remember how I did this and get back to you.
@untold geyser To confirm, you need a source that has partial transparency (its own alpha channel) that also blurs anything that's beneath it?
@untold geyser I think I got it. I used the StreamFX plugin, which is now paid, but you can recreate similar effects using https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/source-clone.1632/ and https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/composite-blur.1780/ (install both).
First, draw the shape(s) you need, once with alpha, once with opaque contents. Image resolution must match the source you're trying to work with (I used a 1440p display capture). I drew these two images at 1440p since I will also use a 1440p display capture:
Make a new scene, add the source you intend to create this effect for, Add a Source Mirror / Source Clone source, point it at the same source. Open Filters for the source clone/mirror, add a blur filter, make sure the result is blurry, then add "Image Mask/Blend", select the image file where the contents are opaque (in my case bucket-opaque.png), change mask type to "alpha mask (alpha channel)".
Finally, add the image with alpha (in my case bucket-w-alpha.png) as an image source.
Not a fan of box blur, but good enough to demonstrate the result.
This works, somehow. Except I cannot choose the area I want to blur otherwise I have to redo all the things every time I want to blur a specific area since it's fixated
@untold geyser You'll have to decide in advance what area needs to be blurred, and draw a shape in the exact spot it's going to be. You could also
@untold geyser Another option would be to disable the image mask filter on the source clone, and use sceneitem crop to decide which bits are to be cropped.
I suppose I can do that, since I just need 1 very specific area blurred anyway
Thanks, I'll work on this
That's exactly what I needed, lol
What did you differently?
Removing image mask on source clone?
@untold geyser Yes.
and use sceneitem crop to decide which bits are to be cropped.
How do I do this again?
Can't find it in filters
@untold geyser Select a source that needs cropping, hold Alt, click and deag one of the red handles.
Thank you very much, this resolved my issue
Has anyone ever used Move Value to change the "Time between slides" for a slide show?
How can i write during the recording.
write what?
Pencil and paper?
Hello,
is there a way to have a dock that show twitch viewer count ?
and I don't mean a stream widget , but a dock so only I can see it in obs
has anyone here ever successfully used spout on windows to push say PPT to OBS?
clarification of what PPT is might help someone answer
powerpoint?
The program itself needs to be spout compatible
Which PowerPoint for sure isn't
It's not like say game capture that just injects itself and can be hooked
The target application needs to be built with spout support in mind or needs to have some sort of plugin that adds the functionality
@weak escarp I have a quick question regarding your OBS Move Filter - When the filter is applied to a scene, is it actively moving sources, even when the scene is not in focus? Further to that, is it using resources, when the scene is not active?
this would be a useful upgrade, to be able to include sources inside of a dock, that way you could use a browser source and crop it to show just your player count or even your chat if you wanted....
there's a plugin that lets you put a source in a dock
but you can also just put the web page that provides the source in a dock itself
i.e. popout your twitch dashboard viewer count widget and put it in a custom dock
Thank you so much for testing. In hindsight, I should have waited before crying wolf, as a simple reboot fixed the issue (that day I had been messing with the NDI access manager app, pointing it to a virtual NIC that also saw the NDI source in question but was unable to transmit video thru it)
YW! I'm so glad you got it working.
Anyone got a plugin that displays keystrokes while recording?
Hey all, I just have a question that an hour on google hasn't helped with. I have the default followers goal showing on my stream. Would there be a way to make it so the follower goal overlay only shows up for a few minutes after a new follower alert fires off??
!ass There may be a setting on the alert provider's end for that. Or you may be able to use Advanced Scene Switcher to set the source to hide after a few minutes.
You can use powerful macros in OBS Studio using timers, cursor detection, window detection, and more to automate switching between scenes, toggle sources, and many other options.
To get started, install the Advanced Scene Switcher plugin and see the GitHub project wiki to learn how to use it.
there is no "default follower goal" in obs (or any follower goal, for that matter), so what are you using?
There literally is one thru twitch, it displays as an overlay in OBS I never once said it was from OBS.
this is the obs discord, so how are we to know that you are using twitch?
in any case, since that is a browser-source-based graphic, it will require support on the side of twitch to do what you want
I was just about to suggest db_to_mul
or actually mul_to_db
10% is a multiplication by 0.1 after all
oop
someone got yeeted
oh no
looks like the bot got unhappy with the image links
I cannot unfortunately
but will notify the people who can
all good now
Whoopsy
Alright yes - I've chatted a bit about it in DM with Squid
Basically the conversion of 0.1x isn't working in this case, it's not really giving the same result as WaveLink does
So I feel they are doing a different conversion internally
Top one would be the 0.1x / 10% vs. the bottom one being 10% set in WaveLink and it just outputting to the Stream Mix
So I might have to go back to using my interpolation logic with preset dB values
not a big deal to be honest
how do i add the chat box
So how would I do this?
Hey @weak escarp,
Is it just me, or there are no faders with the audio monitoring plugin, with the latest version of OBS?
(Also not showing the fader on a friend install)
right click in the dock and select what you want
or the settings cog too
Yeah but you don't have any faders too
like sliders
to manage the volume of the monitoring
Nah like, there used to be a slider next to every individual tracks I think 🤔
(So I can manage the volume of a whole monitored track (separately that what gets ouputed))
not according to this screenshot from 2022
right off the plugins page on obs site
same with the 2021 version
ooooooooo
you need to send a specifc track to a specific output
Like it has to be on this output only to show the fader?
wait no
I mean
well how else would you hear an entire track? you need to send it somewhere
that last screenshot shows exactly how
Yeah, I'm sending it to Track 1 and Track 6, Track 6 being the monitoring track
you send the track to a listening device
thats how you hear the track, and then get the level adjustment slider
Omgg it works
thanks
It was kinda confusing that you have to show first, before it actually show the possible outputs 😅
Hi guys! im new to this server and OBS studio can someone help me with seeing the video that i just recorded. My video just sits frozen is what it seems.
If you need help or have questions about OBS, check out our #support-portal first!
Anyone know where to find cool webm files for alerts
You can check out this websites,
- Hexeum
- Nerd or Die
- own3d
- gumroad
Afaik some reddit forums also has various streaming resources that u can download and use (not sure if they have alerts tho)
This could be any number of issues. Try recording in a different format. It could be that your PC is missing a codec or two. I would start there.
Hello, do you know if it is possible to write a text from the left?
So, Downstream Keyer seems pretty cool if I just want to have a "blank" output source that I can apply filters to where ever I am.
Apply a screen shake to the entire stream or something.
But if I ever want to distort the screen, and a 3D tilt or anything, the scene underneath is always going to be there? Is there a way around this?
put a black colour source as the bottom layer in the DSK
or anything really, so long as the whole canvas is covered and there is no transparency
wow.... I was massively overthinking it haha
Thank you so much!
Hey, guys! Hope you're doing well. I have a quick question: I bought the Pro version of OBS DroidCam — the one-time payment option — but now it's asking me to purchase it again. Is that supposed to happen? Or did I maybe misunderstand and it wasn’t actually a lifetime license?
You should reach out to the support of that product. Which isn't this server
what is a good plugin that erases the background of a video capture. i tried the nvidia broadcasting aspp which is good but it would make my video blurry when i streamed
out of curiosity, are you talking about the separate app, or the SDK that integrates into OBS?
im looking for one that integrates with OBS. i know theres a few out there but they arent really that good. I used the "background removal" plugin from the obs studio plugins site but it was kinda bad
I'm assuming you have an RTX GPU since you ran the Broadcast App; you can download this SDK here: https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/broadcasting/broadcast-sdk/resources/
In the video effects column, grab whatever one is relevant to your card. Install it and then you'll see a new filter in OBS
thanks for that but thats what im asking if theres another one because everytime i use the nvidia background removal my video capture face starts to glitch while the rest of the game plays smoothly
oh, I thought you were using the one strictly in the Broadcast app, then importing that into OBS
in terms of just some other trusted one, I don't know offhand, sorry
yeah me neither. i dont know if its the same for other people or why its doing that when i add that filter but its frustrating
my computer crashed so I'm coincidentally still in OBS 31.0.4; I know people were having issues with the latest update. Don't know if that's it tho. Sorry that's happening
Hello please can someone send a place where i can download a obs plugin, name is Source Record
The website is not loading
@coarse spire https://github.com/exeldro/obs-source-record
Actually scratch that.
There.
omg Thank you
if by that you mean it gets blurry when you move in-game, that's not related to background removal, it's just bitrate starvation
Anyone know if there's a tool/method to have a program and a stage output w/OBS? For example notes/messages to stage confidence monitors and main output to screens? IE main display like on the left and confidence monitors on the right in this image
I think you're just looking for projectors, you can create two scenes and send projectors of them to two separate monitors
So it'd be basically "ProgramScene1" "NotesScene1", "ProgramScene5" "NotesScene5"?
I don't understand the question
Can I ask if OBS Teleport can separate audio? I want to play music while streaming, but when I use Teleport, I can't mute the music to avoid copyright issues. [google translate]
I think you can if you use separate audio filters for each
I can isolate the sound in the main unit, but I cannot isolate it in the teleport unit. [google translate]
are you using separate teleport audio sources?
idk tell me how pls
just have separate audio output on th emitter, and recieve them each in their own source in the reciever
This is?
yes, the filter creates an audio-only teleport output
wow Thank you very much.
OBS displays a message stating that it cannot load the websocket plugin. The integrity test completes successfully. How to fix?
- Hardware-accelerated GPU Scheduler
- Capture Interference
- Windows 11 24H2 (OK)
- Not Admin
- No Output Session
- Third-Party Plugins (5)
AMD Ryzen 7 7735HS - OK! / GeForce RTX 4060 Laptop GPU - OK!
In the Help menu, click Check File Integrity, then see if Websockets shows in the Tools menu after that.
No errors
?
This option does not show any errors.
It doesn't do that. Did you check the Tools menu?
Yes
Is Websockets there?
Uninstall G DATA TOTAL SECURITY and Zapora systemu, then do Check File Integrity again after
I previously had version 4.9, but I wanted to update to version 5, and then it crashed.
normally a better idea to just re-run the installer in this case.
That doesn't help, I already tried that. The file is uploaded because OBS tries to load it when it starts.
I have the latest version of OBS and I think this plugin is not compatible with version 30.x.
You release a websocket version without making sure it will work correctly.
how do i fix my twitch alerts becacuse when someone fallows its load as hell and i cant turn it down
!am Double click the source and tick the box for "control audio via OBS", then it can be adjusted in the OBS mixer. You will also need to set it for monitoring 👇
To hear your audio sources through your own speakers/headset:
1. In OBS Settings → Audio, set your Monitoring Device to the speakers/headset through which you wish to hear the source audio, then click OK
2. Click the Edit menu → Advanced Audio Properties
3. For each device you wish to hear, change Audio Monitoring to:
- Monitor Off: only hear in your stream/recording
- Monitor and Output: hear through your device and your stream/recording
- Monitor Only: only hear through your device; don't hear in your stream/recording
Note: ensure you use a different monitoring device than any device you capture. Otherwise, your stream/recording will contain an echo.
how do i get multichat/stream and verticle on obs
A third party plug-in for streaming to multiple endpoints is available for OBS Studio.
https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/aitum-multistream.1991/
would anyone be able to help me find out how to zoom?
like to the corner where my avatar would be
woith all other effects still visible like game capture and other overlays
what's the exact issue?
i dont know what i would need or how i would add a zoom button
so i can zoom in to my avatar
while keeping everything around it
do you just want to make a source bigger?
i want to go from a full scene to the red square on command
ex.
make it another scene, switch to it?
how do i stream 2 times, 1 long form and 1 short form typa thing
I wanted to continue working on this from my M-series Macbook and I updated all my OBS plugins, and then got to this one and realized it was last updated in 2022, and doesn't have an M-series release. (I don't use Rosetta2 so that's not an option.)
Bummer, maybe someone will pick up maintenance of it. Maybe I'll ask an LLM what compiling for M-series involves.
https://github.com/norihiro/obs-main-view-source/releases/tag/0.2.4
I guess the use-case of capturing the rendered output, and re-injecting it as a source is probably pretty niche? I can't think of a use, off-hand, other than video feedback art.
This one might work, but it's a bit complicated and I'm not sure if it does what I want... oh and it doens't have m-series support either.
Not a huge deal, I can work on my windows computer, just not on the road.
p sure you can use spout to do that which is likely better
Also, kind of exciting, @serene echo is working on a Plugin Manger for OBS!
https://github.com/FiniteSingularity/obs-studio/tree/feature/plugin-manager-base
(it is but probs don't ping people unless necessary)
Ok!
wait no macos, don't think spout works on macos?
Syphon then
yeah syphon might do that, otherwise teleport/NDI
Oh, I'm not familiar with Teleport. Got a link?
basically NDI but not NDI
Do you know the differences between how Syphon/Spout work vs NDI?
The first is mainly about sharing texture between processes on the same machine.
The second is encoding video and then sending to another device on the network.
syphon/spout is directly in-vram as far as I know, and for that reason it cannot leave the computer.
Basically, one program just yoinks the image from anothr program dircectly.
ND/Teleport are local network sharing, and can go from one computer to another, but because of that are less performant
That is my understanding.
So, i could see some potential issues using Syphon/Spout for the kind of framebuffer feedback I do. but IDK.
you can use the second to do the same thing as athe first if you need to because the first doesn't work
VDMX, the great Mac VJ ppl have some utilities for this purpose.
Bring your setup to the modern day with StreamFX! With several super fast filters, new ways to build your scenes, and new encoders you can now take your stream even further. Create cool new scenes with 3D effects, make something glow or have a...
its free?
need to log in?
It says "non-free"

My question is about the Render Delay plugin, would it insert a delay inbetween filters, or does it just sum the Render Delay for the whole source. Ex.
@cinder wagon Filters are synchronous, render delay should behave the same regardless of where you put it in the chain.
Are filters synchronous? The output definitly changes based on their top to bottom order, most easily seen with lumakey/chromakey/colorkey filters
the order deffo matters
I guess I don't understand what you mean when you say that filters are synchronous
Like maybe they all get 'baked down " into a single render pass?
@cinder wagon The whole source is stalled while each filter's effects are applied, you can't use render delay to create a transition where it'd apply the first filter, then the next one. If you want such a transition, use the Move plugin or adv-ss.
So what does render delayed do? Is it for moving the entire source to align with like an audio source or something?
