OBS: show or hide source with Scene Gameplay, Source Webcam and Do set to Toggle. Below the fields: OBS Studio connected.

Show or hide source switches a single element of a scene: the webcam, an overlay, an alert box, a “starting soon” timer. Use Toggle for one pad that flips it on and off.

Setting What it does
Scene The scene that contains the source.
Source The source to show or hide.
Do Show, Hide or Toggle (flip between the two).

While the app is not connected, type the names exactly as they appear in the app.

  • The action changes every copy of the source in that scene. With Toggle, each copy flips from its current state.
  • It works on the current scene collection.
  • {{placeholders}} work in the scene and source names.
  • If the source is not in the scene, nothing changes: Streamlabs Desktop reports it in the log, OBS Studio does nothing.
  • Errors are noted in the log and the macro goes on.
