Question / Help Can I "play director" and switch scenes on the presenter's streaming PC?

[mayaglypher]

My client will present a lecture with PowerPoint and control his streaming Mac computer. I would like to do the actual scene switching for the presenter so that he can concentrate on his presentation. Can someone on a remote PC "play director" and switch his scenes for him without him doing the physical switching? For example, going from PowerPoint slide full screen to Picture in Picture overlay of his headshot.
Thanks!

Depends on how remote you mean. If you are in the same room/on the same LAN, you can install the obs-websockets plugin on the presenter's machine (uncertain if this works on the Mac version; it'd be best to ask in the Mac support forum instead of the Windows forum when the Mac version of OBS is the primary use-case) and then use the t2t2 control interface (just Google for t2t2 obs control) to handle controlling scene-changes and a few other things.

Thanks for the quick reply! I'll check it out.
