OBS

What this page is

Connections → OBS holds a single card, OBS Studio — the link between the app and OBS on your machine. While that link is up, the rest of the app can drive OBS: scenarios get the actions OBS: Switch scene and OBS: Source filter, and Stream Status counts OBS among the signals that say the broadcast is running.

How to set it up

1. In OBS Studio switch its WebSocket server on and look up the port and the password there. The app asks for exactly the values held in the WebSocket Server settings of OBS Studio.
2. Open Connections → OBS. A card that reads Disconnected means the module is off: press Connect OBS Studio and it turns on and opens its settings straight away. If it is already on, press Configure.
3. Under OBS Studio Connection Settings, check the three fields:
   • OBS WebSocket Host — already filled in for OBS on this same computer. Change it only when OBS runs on another machine.
   • OBS WebSocket Port — filled in with the usual OBS value, 4455.
   • OBS WebSocket Password — the password from OBS. Once one is stored, the field stays empty and shows Password saved — leave empty to keep it: an empty field keeps the stored password, so editing the port never wipes it.
4. Press Test Connection. It saves the fields first, then answers Successfully connected to OBS! or Failed to connect to OBS. Check parameters and password. Save Settings saves without testing.
5. Connection Status turns to Connected, and two testers appear below — they are shown in that state only: [DEBUG] OBS Scene Tester (Select Scene, then Switch Scene) and [DEBUG] OBS Filter Tester (Select Scene, Select Source, Select Filter, then Enable Filter or Disable Filter). Every command and its answer land in OBS command log, and Clear Logs empties it.

With OBS closed, the settings page shows Disconnected while the card shows Connecting... — the app keeps retrying on its own, there is nothing to press.

What it cannot do

The settings page has no connect or disconnect button: the connection follows the fields and the app's own retries. On the card, Disconnect switches the whole module off and Remove connection wipes everything typed here — neither of them drops the link to OBS alone.

Scenes, sources and filters are only ever chosen from what already exists in OBS; nothing here creates, renames or deletes them. The testers act once and save nothing. There is no recording or streaming control on this page, and no picture from OBS. The section holds OBS Studio and nothing else — no other capture program has a card here.
