I'm learning so much about what OBS can do 😂 No more forgetting to hit record for streams

[seanferres]

ok I understand how buttons work but how/ where do you actually find this setup screen to begin with

[VAsHachiRoku]

Any chance next update can add the ability to start/stop the virtual cam please!!

my streamdeck I just got only says STREAMLABS and there is no OBS STUDIO, how do i get it in the streamdeck?

[spelworldstream]

it would be cool to acully be able to chose witch game you record with the stream deck

[xsm]

why doesn't OBS show up on the right hand menu of the stream deck app when I launch it? I thought it already had OBS configured on to it? why is mine not showing OBS stuff, I have OBS studio and it's running too.
it's obs studio latest version 64bit

EDIT, ignore, didn't realise you had to get the plugin for streamlabs first. ok sorted.

[FForwardFlashback]

My question is: Can you the type of transition? Right now, it just does a 'cut' Can it be changed to do a fade? or a slide? Can you make a transition button to do different transitions?

[HarleyDavidson]

Is there a way I can hide and unhide my cam in OBS Studios from my Elgato Stream deck?

[MichaelBurko]

Please add an ability to start/stop virtual camera.

[PintoSixty]

Can I have 10-15 OBS scenes represented on one panel? I don't want to use scene collections. Just one collection with all scenes available.

[hielkedehaan]

Is there a way to view the vu meter of my input sources on the stream deck? that would be major cool.

[huxibo]

okay so, I got the software and stuff i needed. however whenever I click the install on the store it just opens up stream deck and then does nothing. what do?

nvm turns out Im dumb

[Expedition]

You skipped the step on how to program the button to open OBS, Think that would be step 1 which is the main step. could you please guide through that step.

[mccachurch]

I updated the Stream Deck program and now my Stream Deck won't connect with OBS, it was working before the update, do you know what could be wrong

[ooSpyderoo]

So can't the stream deck let you assign a hotkey for an OBS key as one of the touch buttons? I thought these devices were like programmable joysticks in that you can make a thing happen by assigning a button to a hotkey in the program. Is it bound by plugins alone? So you can't make your touch buttons do whatever you like? Thanks

[kalebwakeup]

?? I have no OBS options in my stream deck

[DanisKool]

Please update integration so it works with OBS v29

[shoo_nl]
