OBS Source Changed

Runs on: Shared — pure logic, runs on the Community backend or inside a chatbox overlay.

The OBS Source Changed trigger fires whenever a source is added to or removed from OBS. This can be useful for logging source changes, triggering setup actions when a new source appears, or cleaning up when a source is removed.

The trigger provides the name of the affected source and the action that occurred (whether it was created or removed).

Outputs​

NameTypeDescription
Source NamestringThe name of the OBS source that was changed.
ActionstringThe type of change: "created" or "removed".

Example​

Use the OBS Source Changed trigger to log whenever sources are added or removed from your OBS setup. Combine it with a String Check node to detect when a specific source (like your webcam) is removed and automatically post a notification in chat.
