Big Red "MUTED" Text In Preview Window When Muted

[MicksysPCGaming]

Love OBS Studio.

Wondering if it would be possible to have the option to have the word "MUTED" appear in big red caps on the preview window when the stream is muted.

I get caught out often streaming with the mic muted.

Would also help if I'm streaming and someone wants to tell me something private. It would be obvious to us both that the message won't be overheard.

Anyway, thanks for all you do!

Just yesterday, as I was streaming & recording a small indie game (Hypt for anyone wondering), my wife walked in for an important question. I quickly mute the microphone and, afterwards, I forget to unmute it. Since 0 people were watching at the time (I'm sure they had other, extremely urgent, matters to attend to) I proceeded to blabber on with nobody informing me of the lack of sound. I guess I'll have to re-record that at a later time.

So... My main mic is a Yeti, but, from now on, I will include the webcam's microphone as an extra backup track in my recordings...

A big MUTED display would've been great though...

Have you done a test recording to see if this adds an echo or a double track?

I don't mix the extra track into the main Twitch stream. It's only there in the MP4-recording. My video editor (Sony Movie Studio) then lets me cut/mute the track seperately.
