Obs Projector

[NoahJamesTech]

So I'm using OBS and an elgato stream deck to stream my church service every week. So there's a projector that has to show the words during the service for people worshiping live, so I use the fullscreen projector feature to show the "slides source" to the projectors. This works great however there are times where I have to show the output stream on them. Is there a way to make a macro that switches between output projecting and source projecting on the stream deck or something easier?

It would probably be easiest to create two scenes and make a macro to switch between these scenes.

Or did you need to switch between projector source 1 and 2?

I have one source and one output (for the stream) and I just want to switch which one is showing on the projector

Do you want to switch sources or switch output?

Its weird, I basically just have to switch from a source (just showing the words for songs) to the live stream output (showing the words with video overlayed) so the congregation can see the person reading the scripture and the words

Just make scene #1 show just the words, make scene #2 the words + a video.

 

Switching between scenes is very simple to do in OBS. A streamdeck can do that, but it's also possible to setup a macro in OBS > Settings > HotKeys.

Or maybe if you have a scene already, with the text + an overlay video, you can turn on/off the overlay video? (can also be done in the Hotkeys menu).

Ok yeah I'll try that, thanks for the help man
