Dynamic Source Placing (Source vs Game Played)

[Rawdee Gaming]

Hi there.

I am a variety streamer and often switch games.

I find myself constantly switching different sources around to fit the game I am playing, so here's what I'd love to see as a feature in OBS Studio.

When for example, I am playing Sea of Thieves, the Event List would have a fixed position on my stream, and OBS knows this, so if I switch over to Rocket League, I need that Event List source to be in a different area on the screen. OBS will remember where I've placed this before and when I switch games, it will automatically move the source to the new location, when it registers that this game sources is active.

This would be an AMAZING feature in the software that I already love!!!

If more information about this idea is needed, go ahead and ask me to clarify what I mean.

The way I would recommend handling this would be to have different scenes for each type of arrangement you want to have, and then use the scene switcher to select the right scene based on the game. I don't think an automatic memory thing would really work the way you think, but with a bit of prep you should be able to handle everything pretty smoothly.

Expanding on this idea, you could also use the Advanced Scene Switcher plugin to detect which game you're running and switch to that scene automatically.

I am aware of these options, but since I am a variety streamer, I end up having LOADS of scenes, which clutter up my OBS.

The Advanced Scene Switcher is a good idea, but that also requires a custom scene for each game.

I still like my idea with dynamic sources that moves depending on what game is played :)

Thank you for the replies.
