An Elgato Stream Deck XL, showing the programmable LED keys. It turns your iPhone into a 15-key control box for OBS for $2.99 a month or $24.99 per year. There’s a less expensive alternative from the same vendor: the Stream Deck Mobile app for iPhone. With a tap on any of the keys, you can control OBS without needing to use your mouse or trackpad. If you know that you’ll be doing a lot of work with OBS and numerous scenes, I recommend an Elgato Stream Deck - a switch box with programmable LED keys. Here I typed Command (⌘) – Shift – S to Show and Command (⌘) – Shift – H to Hide the FaceTime scene (see image below): Setting up hotkeys in OBS Settings To create a hotkey, find the scene on the Hotkeys pane you wish to set up a hotkey for, click in the specific field for the action you want to control (for example, “Show ‘FaceTime’”, then type the keyboard shortcut. While I won’t go through a lot of detail here, just know that you can set up things like Command (⌘)-B to start (begin) recording, Command (⌘)-F to end (finish) recording, Command (⌘)-1 to bring up the Preshow Roll scene, Command (⌘)-2 to bring up the LiveStream scene, and so on. Hotkeys are set up in the OBS Settings window, Hotkeys pane (see image above). Hotkeys are shortcut keystrokes set up in advance of a broadcast that can ease the burden of making quick transitions - especially if you’re not only the broadcast engineer, but the talent as well. One thing you’ve probably noticed by now if you’ve been working through the examples in these articles is that you can spend a lot of time clicking on items in the Studio Mode to enable your transitions - and it’s also quite easy to accidentally click the wrong button. Today we’re going to talk about hotkeys for easy transitions, additional sources for your OBS livestream or recording, and resources (plugins and tools) to extend OBS.
