What it does

OBS Websocket allows remote control of OBS Studio, a popular video streaming and recording software, through a WebSocket protocol.

When to use it
  • When automating OBS Studio workflows, such as switching scenes or starting recordings, through a custom application or script.
  • When integrating OBS Studio with other tools or services that support WebSocket communication, such as a web-based control panel or a mobile app.
  • When creating custom plugins or extensions for OBS Studio that require remote control capabilities.
Ready-to-paste prompt
To switch to a scene named 'My Scene' using the OBS Websocket, send the following WebSocket message: `{'request-type': 'SetCurrentScene', 'scene-name': 'My Scene', 'message-id': '1'}`
Heads up: The obs-websocket plugin requires OBS Studio version 24.0 or later to be installed, and the WebSocket server must be running and configured correctly before attempting to connect to it.
