Question / Help Hotkey for source (not for Scene) - Pop up videos in my scene

[Fail Salon]

Hi there,

Thanks for your time.

I was looking for a quality of life feature that despite searching no-one seems to address this.

Question 1)
I'd like to be able to use a hotkey to toggle a source. I like to use various video sources that pop up during my broadcast. I'd like to put these videos all on my one scene and toggle them instead of duplicating the same scene over and over again for each different video source. Is it possible to do this via hotkey? I've only found one old thread asking this question, granted my searching skills aren't great, but at the time the recommendation was to create a duplicate scene, which is what I'd like to avoid.

Question 2)
I'd like to use a deepbot command to prompt a scene toggle. Is this possible in OBS 20.0.1? (e.g. Someone types !hello in my twitch chat and a video pops up in OBS) I've noticed it says something about OBS Remote, which I thought was an OBS classic feature.

Thanks in advance for any help you can share :)

1) Hotkeys to show or hide a source are already available:

2) I am not familiar with Deepbot, but maybe an autohotkey script could trigger the hotkey press if you can make it read the chat and look for your !hello. Probably something you have to write for yourself though, as I have not seen something like this in action yet.

Oh Wow! I can't believe i was silly enough to miss that. I am so appreciative of you taking the time to illustrate the section where the option is.

And thank you also for your insights into the second query. You've been very helpful.

Thanks for your time.
