OBS Studio Integration

Connect Community to OBS Studio using WebSocket to control scenes, sources, filters, and more — directly from your dashboard or through Flow automations.

Setup

1. Enable WebSocket in OBS:

   • Open OBS Studio
   • Go to Tools → WebSocket Server Settings
   • Check Enable WebSocket Server
   • Set a port (default: 4455) and optionally set a password
   • Click OK

2. Connect in Community:

   • Navigate to Integrations in the sidebar
   • Find the OBS section
   • Enter the WebSocket host, port, and password (if set)
   • Click Connect

What You Can Control

Once connected, Community can:

Action	Description
Switch Scenes	Change the active OBS scene
Show/Hide Sources	Toggle source visibility
Control Audio	Adjust volume, mute/unmute sources
Start/Stop Recording	Control OBS recording
Start/Stop Streaming	Control OBS stream output
Toggle Filters	Enable/disable source filters
Adjust Filter Settings	Change filter property values
Set Media/Image Sources	Update media file paths
Set Browser Sources	Change browser source URLs
Transform Sources	Adjust position, rotation, and scale

Using OBS in Flows

All OBS actions are available as Flow effect nodes, allowing you to automate OBS control based on stream events. For example:

• Switch to a "BRB" scene when you run an ad
• Toggle a filter when someone cheers
• Start recording when the stream goes live

See the Flows documentation for all available OBS nodes.

Available Data

Community can also read OBS state:

• Current scene list and active scene
• Source list with types and visibility
• Filter list with enabled state
• Recording and streaming status
• Audio source volume and mute state
