Live Streaming & Premieres

Scene

Also called: OBS scene, scene switching

Think of it as a camera position for a live show. One scene holds the full-screen game capture, another the webcam with an overlay, another a starting-soon card with music, and a fourth the break screen with chat on it. Switching between them is one click or one hotkey. Sources inside a scene are layered, each can be positioned, cropped and filtered independently, and the same source can appear in several scenes at once. Building the scenes you need before going live is most of what separates a stream that flows from one where the host apologises while dragging windows around.
