Simple is better. This app is focused on having a simple mobile scene switcher in OBS. In OBS v28 and later it should work out of the box. For earlier versions, it requires the obs-websocket plugin to be installed. You can download it here: https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/obs-websocket-remote-control-obs-studio-from-websockets.466/ - Hide scenes that you don't want to accidentally switch to - Control your stream, recording or virtual camera output - Show/hide individual scene elements - Mute audio sources - Configure a delay for the commands in case you want to sync scene switches with camera delays
