I created a small Lua script that adds a real-time performance HUD inside OBS using a standard Text (GDI+) source.

The script updates the text with:

• Stream or recording time
• Dropped frames
• CPU usage
• Estimated bitrate (kbps)

It can be used either as an on-screen debug overlay or placed off-screen as a private monitoring tool. The HUD can be enabled or disabled at any time, and when disabled, the text is automatically cleared.

Features​

• Uses Text (GDI+) (FreeType is deprecated)
• Shows time, dropped frames, CPU usage, and bitrate
• Update interval is adjustable
• Simple source selector
• Enable/disable checkbox
• Automatically clears text when disabled
• Very lightweight and does not require any plugins

How to Use​

1. Add a Text (GDI+) source in OBS.
2. Load the script from Tools → Scripts.
3. Select your Text source from the dropdown.
4. Set your update interval.
5. Enable the HUD.
