OBS Start/Stop Recording
The OBS Start/Stop Recording effect starts or stops OBS recording. This lets you automate when OBS captures local recordings, which is useful for content creators who want to record specific segments of their stream for later editing.
Unlike the streaming effect, starting and stopping recording has no impact on your live viewers -- it only controls the local recording file.
Inputs
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
Active | boolean | true to start recording, false to stop recording. |
Example
Automatically record your stream whenever you go live. Connect a Stream Online trigger to an OBS Start/Stop Recording effect with active set to true, and connect a Stream Offline trigger to another instance with active set to false. This ensures you always have a local recording of every broadcast without needing to remember to hit the record button.
