Many OBS users handle all the aspects of video production by themselves. In these cases, there is no dedicated producer or engineer. Instead, the streaming host is also the producer, director, camera operator, and technical director. Thanks to the flexibility and customization possibilities of OBS Studio, the software works great for solo operators who learn how to use Hotkeys and controllers such as the Elgato StreamDeck. However, it still doesn't hurt to have some help keeping everything running. Advanced Scene Switcher adds switching automation to OBS with a powerful plug-in that features a bunch of options to help producers automate scene switching.

After installation is complete, relaunch OBS. You can access Advanced Scene Switcher in the Tools menu. The Advanced Scene Switcher dialog box can be a bit overwhelming at first. Fortunately, you won't likely need more than a couple of those tabs. However, a look through them will introduce you to the possibilities of Advanced Scene Switcher.

In the General tab, you will find some of the global settings you may need to revisit once you get some automation set up. One thing to note here is the Status section, where you can choose to automatically start the switcher when you start recording, streaming, or both. There is also an option to start the switcher on startup if it was running previously.

The rest of the tabs cover all the possible ways to use Advanced Scene Switcher. As you review the options available on each tab, notice that they all work on the same basic concepts – triggers and actions. Setting up automated scene switching is about assigning the trigger and action each will initiate.

Scene Triggers - This allows you to trigger actions based on scene changes. For example: When Camera 1 is active, start recording after 2 seconds.
Video - Video can monitor a video source and trigger an action when the source matches a predetermined video file. That action switches to the scene you pre-select. The trigger can also be set to engage when the source does not match or if it has changed.
Audio - Monitors any audio source and triggers an action when the levels go above a certain threshold (or below a threshold) for a set amount of time, it will trigger a scene switch the scene you choose. This can be used to switch camera views when specific microphones become active.
Sequence - Automatically switches to a scene when another scene becomes active.
Idle - Switches to a preset scene if there are no keyboard or mouse inputs for a set time.
Time - Can trigger a scene change based on the day and time.
File - Triggers a scene based on the contents of a file. You can also write the name of the current scene to a file and use the contents of that same file to select the next scene.
Media - Automatically switches scenes based on the current state of a media source. For example, when a media source ends, switch to a title slide.
Region - Can automatically trigger a scene based on the cursor's position.

These are just some of the commonly used available trigger options. Next, you can set up an example trigger and action. For this example, try switching to the scene for your camera immediately after a video finishes playback.
