OBS Shortcuts

The OBS hotkeys or shortcuts range from simple start-stop streaming options to layout ad transitions.

OBS also provides you with custom hotkeys, allowing users to create an efficient streaming set up for their convenience.

1) How To Get OBS Keyboard Shortcuts?

Open Broadcaster Software provides you with hotkeys to make quick transitions. To get access to the hotkeys, follow the steps given below:

• Launch OBS and click on File.

• Select Settings and click on Hotkeys as shown in the picture below.

Here you will notice that each scene in OBS has been assigned multiple hotkeys.

You can create hotkeys for each scene inside OBS to switch to the scene and hide or show an output.

This will help you to overlay multiple images inside an OBS scene.

Thus, you can reveal many images inside a single scene using OBS shortcuts.

Here you must note that OBS hotkeys are by default disabled.

To use the hotkeys, you will have to select a key first to use the provided functions.
