This comes in handy if you have to frame up hots before you put them live, or if you’re waiting for an event to “fall into place” so to speak before cutting to it. OBS has another interesting feature that lets you preview the next scene before switching to it. If that’s overkill for your needs, and you need every single button on your keyboard for the software you’re demonstrating, I recommend putting OBS onto a second monitor and using the single-click option for switching with your mouse. It comes with a really handy software that allows you to trigger scenes and events from OBS with dedicated backlit buttons. There’s a handy device called Stream Deck if you’re keen to improve your live streaming skills. Anything that can trigger a key event will show up here. You can even use things like external devices like game controllers and programmable mouse buttons.
You can create a new one for another project under Scene Collections – New.Ĭlick into the text field of your choice, then click a button and it should show up in the list. This whole box is actually a collection of scenes. It probably contains a single scene (named “Scene”), in which you may have setup the sources you’d like to show. Scene Collectionsīy default, OBS Studio creates one default Scene Collection for you. For now, let’s take a look at how we can create them, and group them together depending on the project we’re working on. We’ll talk more about other ways to switch between scenes a little later. You can now switch to another one by clicking on any scene in the list. The one that’s highlit (Endless Background in my example) is the one that’s showing. Here’s a quick screenshot from my OBDUCTION setup. In your main OBS Studio window, you’ll typically find your scenes at the bottom left corner (unless you undock that palette). This one’s for you, Rod! Where are those Scenes? Let’s take a look at how we can make such magic happen. You can then seamlessly switch between them with ease. That’s where scenes can be helpful, because each scene can show something different. From time to time you may want to show something else, such as a video, or your web cam in full screen, or a zoomed-in portion of your desktop. They allow you to craft something you’d like to show to your viewers, for example your desktop and an inset of your webcam.
Scenes are collections of items that appear on your (captured) screen. It might be easier to follow in words and screenshots. I’ve been meaning to make an update to this and explain how to switch from one scene to another, but since it’s a complex process I decided to write this article instead.
If you’re new to OBS, I recommend watching it to see how this thing works. A while ago I made a video about how to use OBS Studio for Screen Recordings.
