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.

How it runs
Section titled “How it runs”- 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.
