A WebSocket-based remote-control API plugin for OBS Studio, bundled by default since OBS 28.0.0. It lets external clients and programs control scenes, sources, and streaming functions programmatically.
Use cases
- remote control obs from a phone or tablet
- automate scene switching with a foot pedal
- change stream overlay based on current scene
- control obs studio programmatically
- build a custom stream deck client for obs
- integrate obs with twitch chat bots
When to choose
- you need to automate or remotely control OBS Studio from another device or program
- you are building a client app or integration that drives OBS scenes and streaming
- you want event-driven reactions to OBS scene changes
When to avoid
- you use OBS Studio 28+ and only need the built-in plugin (already included)
- you need to control streaming software other than OBS Studio
- you want a ready-made GUI rather than an API to program against
