Automation and hotkeys

Click the lightning button in the top bar.

Macros

A macro is a list of steps:

• switch to a scene;
• show, hide or toggle a source;
• mute, unmute or toggle a sound;
• start or stop recording, streaming or the replay buffer;
• save a clip;
• run any action from the command palette;
• wait a moment.

Example: “Be right back”: switch to the BRB scene, then mute the mic.

Triggers

A macro runs when one of its triggers fires:

• a global hotkey, which works even while a game has focus;
• a window coming to the front, matched by program name or title (for example valorant);
• every N seconds;
• a scene going live;
• recording or streaming starting or stopping.

Macros are saved with the setup, and anything a macro changes can be undone with Ctrl+Z.

Stream Deck and other remote controls see macros as hotkeys and can run them too.
