Display image in scene when streaming is active

[smaunsell]

Is it possible through built-in OBS function or plug-in to display an image/icon in the scene when streaming is active? For example, showing a red dot when streaming is not active and a green dot when streaming is active?

NOTE this is not an image/icon within OBS to show just me whether it is active or not. I'm looking for some image/icon that is in the scene itself. If eg recording was also enabled then playback of that recording would show, in the scene, that streaming was also active.

Or maybe it's better explained as "enable source when streaming is active" so it's irrelevant if it's an image, a webcam, a video or whatever. Whatever the source is should become active when streaming is enabled and inactive when streaming is stopped.

Advanced Scene Switcher plugin can do the job:

With OBS own tools and nothing else - you can write your own script, there is OBS_FRONTEND_EVENT_STREAMING_STARTED event for this purpose.
Example of the script where system playbacks sound on event: https://obsproject.com/forum/threads/notification-program-during-recording.156454/post-572955
Example of the script where script sends hotkey (in timed intervals): https://obsproject.com/forum/threads/circle-timer.167145/post-615178
By writing proper script, you can emulate some hotkey send on streaming start, and this hotkey can be assigned to any thing you wish in OBS Settings.
