Scene Automation

Scenes switch themselves. "Condition → action" macros fire on window, process, time, or media states.

THE FIELD GUIDE
From the first step, to every detail.

Full usage guide · parameter suggestions · scene-automation templates · FAQ.

1. Quick start

Set up a clean OBS workspace before automating anything. First-time setup takes four steps; after that it logs in automatically.

Open OBS

Launch OBS Studio. Confirm your scene collection and sources are saved locally.

Prepare your content

Pick media, configure scripts/voice, and choose your scene layout.

Set your look

Adjust realtime effects and audio levels before going live.

Go live

Check the preview and audio monitor, then start the output.

2. Advanced Scene Switcher automation

Advanced Scene Switcher is a free OBS plugin that runs "condition → action" macros to switch scenes, control sources, and fire OBS actions automatically. Version 1.32.7 requires OBS 31.1.1+ (tested on OBS 32.2.2).

Enable one macro at a time

Verify a single macro's logic before enabling others. Macro order affects condition-check priority; mutually switching macros need clear exclusive conditions.

Recipe A — window title triggers a live scene

When the active window title contains a keyword (e.g. your streaming companion or game), switch to the live scene; when it leaves and stays gone for 5 seconds, return to standby.

Condition: Window title contains "Stream Companion" Action: Switch to "Live" scene Condition: Window title NOT contains "Stream Companion" (5s) Action: Switch to "Standby" scene

Recipe B — game process triggers a game scene

When a game or standalone client process is running or gains focus, switch to the game scene.

Condition: Process "game.exe" running OR focused Action: Switch to "Game" scene

Recipe C — schedule opening / live / ending

Use time, weekday, or time-range conditions to move through a fixed show rundown automatically.

Condition: Time = 20:00–20:05 → Action: "Opening" scene Condition: Time = 20:05–21:30 → Action: "Live" scene Condition: Time = 21:30–21:35 → Action: "Ending" scene

Recipe D — media or audio state shows/hides a source

React to media playback, audio level, or source state to reveal lower-thirds, intro/outro clips, or cue sounds.

Condition: Media "Intro" finished Action: Hide "Intro" source, play "Ambient" media, run macro "LiveLoop"
1.32.7 fixed Twitch reconnect after disconnect, Game Capture crashes with no window title, and crashes from invalid JSON source settings. Don't create two macros that switch each other, and don't use "execute every time condition is met" on a condition that stays true — it causes scene flicker.

3. Virtual camera & microphone

OBS virtual camera and virtual audio device let you send your produced video and sound into any meeting, recorder, or streaming tool.

Cameras

Common Logitech, Razer, Dell, HP, Lenovo and USB webcams are supported at 1280×720, 1920×1080 and 3840×2160, up to 60 FPS (confirmed by the device's own name window).

Microphone

If no virtual audio device is detected, install the virtual soundcard driver first, then restart OBS.

4. Realtime video & audio FX

A realtime enhancement module processes picture and sound lightly and reversibly before OBS plays or streams them. It is OFF by default — only the master "Enable realtime enhancement" switch turns it on.

The master switch is everything

If the master toggle is unchecked, the sub-switches (rate, hue, jitter, audio) will NOT take effect even when checked. Turn on the master switch first.

Realtime enhancement is for visual/audio tuning and compatibility testing. It does not guarantee changes to all encoded characteristics and is not a way to bypass any platform's review, copyright, or content identification. Actual stream results also depend on encoder, bitrate, resolution, network, and the platform's transcode policy.

5. Monitor any TikTok live inside OBS

Save and manage live rooms, auto-detect when they go live, and insert the active stream into your current OBS scene — great for reaction streams, restreams, or monitoring.

Extract the URL

Use TikTok Live Sniper to get the direct TikTok LIVE source URL (1080p+).

Add to OBS

In OBS, add a Media Source and paste the URL as the input — no browser source, no re-encode.

Auto-insert on live

Combine with an Advanced Scene Switcher macro (Section 2) to drop the live into your scene the moment it starts.
