OBS Recording Status
The OBS Recording Status data node reports whether OBS Studio is currently recording. It outputs true when OBS is actively recording to a file and false when recording is stopped. Use this to trigger recording-specific behaviors, or to display a recording indicator in your overlay.
Outputs
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
Recording | boolean | true if OBS is currently recording, false otherwise |
Example
You want to show a red "REC" indicator on your overlay whenever you are recording. Connect the OBS Recording Status node to a conditional display effect. When the value is true, the indicator is shown. When it switches to false, the indicator disappears. This gives your viewers a visual cue that you are capturing the session.
