The second drop-down is to choose which scene OBS will switch to when the appropriate window is active.Īfter you have both your program/window and scene chosen, just click the plus symbol ‘+’ midway down the window and you will have your first automatic scene switcher ready to go. Make sure the window/program you want to choose is already open/started in the background before you open the scene switcher tool to ensure that it shows up on the drop-down list. The first drop-down menu at the top allows you to choose from any currently open windows on your computer and will determine that when that window/program is the active window the scene switcher will kick in. You will get a screen similar to that shown below. In OBS on the top menu select ‘tools’ and then ‘automatic scene switcher’.

I feel it’s an under-utilized feature which is incredibly easy to setup. OBS and OBS Studio both have a nifty feature for switching your displayed scene while a particular window is active, the Automatic Scene Switcher plugin.
