obs-websocket

WebSocket API for OBS Studio.

CI Multiplatform Build Discord Financial Contributors on Open Collective

Downloads

Binaries for Windows, MacOS, and Linux are available in the Releases section.

Using obs-websocket

It is highly recommended to protect obs-websocket with a password against unauthorized control. To do this, open the "Websocket server settings" dialog under OBS' "Tools" menu. In the settings dialogs, you can enable or disable authentication and set a password for it.

(Psst. You can use --websocket_port(value), --websocket_password(value), and --websocket_debug(flag) on the command line to override the configured values.)

Possible use cases

  • Remote control OBS from a phone or tablet on the same local network
  • Change your stream overlay/graphics based on the current scene
  • Automate scene switching with a third-party program (e.g. : auto-pilot, foot pedal, ...)

Client software

  • (No known clients supporting 5.0.0 at the moment. Send a message in Discord if you have one!)

Client libraries (for developers)

Here's a list of available language APIs for obs-websocket:

The server is a typical Websockets server running by default on port 4444 (the port number can be changed in the Settings dialog under Tools). The protocol we use is documented in PROTOCOL.md.

We'd like to know what you're building with or for obs-websocket. If you do something in this fashion, feel free to drop a message in #project-showoff in the discord server!
