OBS-HUD is a standalone software utility that provides customizable, on-screen status icons to indicate OBS streaming and recording activity. Monitoring these OBS functions no longer requires looking to the system tray icon or main window. Instead, users have complete control and freedom to place visual icons wherever desired on their monitor(s). OBS-HUD works by monitoring the OBS application directly. When OBS starts streaming or recording, OBS-HUD automatically displays the appropriate icon on-screen. When streaming or recording stops, the icon disappears. For video recording, OBS-HUD also automatically switches the recording icon to a paused icon when the Pause function is used in OBS.

FEATURES
  • Position the status icons anywhere on your screen(s) with single-pixel precision
  • Adjust transparency setting per icon
  • Lock icon positions to prevent accidental movement
  • Create and use custom icons from PNG files
  • Easy usage. Once configured, using OBS-HUD is as simple as launching it when needed and closing it when done
  • Standalone and portable. OBS-HUD makes no changes to system files, the registry, OBS, or any other applications
  • Icons will not appear in broadcasts or recordings unless you choose an OBS recording mode that captures them
  • Works offline
  • No data collection or reporting
NOTE: Icons will not display over games/programs that render in a fullscreen or exclusive mode. If you want the icons to appear over a game window, you will likely have to set the game to Windowed or Borderless Window rendering mode.

SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
  • PC running Windows 7+ x64
  • OBS Studio v26.1.1 - v30.0.2
INSTALLATION & UPDATING
  • Manually extract all files from the ZIP archive to desired location. (Recommended directory: C:\Programs\OBS-HUD\)
  • To update to a new version, extract the latest ZIP archive over the current installation and overwrite all files. Your settings file and custom icon sets will not be affected.
    • Follow the steps in obs-hud_quickstart.txt to get started quickly.
    • See obs-hud_readme.txt for additional information, including instructions for custom icon creation.
NOTES:
  • OBS-HUD must have file read/write permissions in the installation folder to load image files and save settings.
  • Multiple versions of OBS-HUD can be installed simultaneously when placed in different folders.

UNINSTALLING

NOTES:
  • If you wish to save your settings, do NOT delete the obs-hud_settings.ini file. Copy it to a safe location before removing the program folder.

I like this very much! :)
But one thing is anoying. I start this HUD automatic with windows.
But I am not always running OBS. When OBS is NOT running, I see always the stream and record dots. They just dissapear. when I start OBS. And then when I record or strem they appear back as they should.
Could you make it so, that the dots are not displayed, if OBS is not running?

Thanks for the feedback! I'm glad the tool is useful for you.

I will look into adding an option to hide the icons even when OBS is not running.
A great app is what I was looking for! Add only the video recording time display!
