OBS Streaming Status

The OBS Streaming Status data node reports whether OBS Studio is currently streaming. It outputs true when OBS is actively sending video to your streaming platform and false when the stream output is stopped. This is distinct from the Stream Status node, which checks the Twitch stream state -- this node checks the OBS output directly.

Streamingbooleantrue if OBS is currently streaming, false otherwise

Example

You want to prevent certain effects from running when OBS is not streaming, even if the Twitch stream technically shows as live. Connect the OBS Streaming Status node to a Gate node to ensure effects only fire when OBS is actively outputting. This is useful for catching situations where Twitch still shows you as live but OBS has stopped sending.
