OBS Toggle Mute
The OBS Toggle Mute effect mutes or unmutes an OBS audio source. Unlike adjusting volume, muting completely silences the source and unmuting restores it to its previous volume level.
This is useful for quick on/off audio control, such as muting a microphone during breaks or muting desktop audio when playing a sensitive sound.
Inputs
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
Source Name | string | The name of the OBS audio source to mute or unmute. Must match the source name in OBS exactly. |
Muted | boolean | true to mute the source, false to unmute it. |
Configuration
- Source Name: You can pre-set the target source name here instead of providing it via the input.
- Muted: You can pre-set the mute state here instead of providing it via the input.
Example
Create a !mute moderator command that mutes your desktop audio. Connect the Chat Command trigger through an Is Moderator check, then to an OBS Toggle Mute effect with your desktop audio source selected and muted set to true. Add a corresponding !unmute command that sets muted to false. Mods can now quickly control your desktop audio from chat.
