Streaming 106: Switching Scenes with Shortcut Keys and Stream Deck (Patreon)

In this episode I'll explain how we can switch scenes in OBS without using the graphical user interface. In the heat of the moment, we need buttons like in a real TV studio. That's especially useful when OBS is minimized and we can't access it with a mouse.

There are two ways to deal with this: we can either define our own shortcut keys in OBS, or we can use a magic device called the Elgato Stream Deck. That's a USB (or iOS) gadget with buttons that are separate from your keyboard. I'll explain how to use both.
