How enable/disable a source on all scene

Either add a hotkey for each scene that the source appears in, or...

- Create a new scene
- Include your specific source
- Add hotkey for source (or not -- will cover later)
- Add the scene into each other scene that you need the source in, instead of the source itself

Whatever changes happen in that new scene will be reflected in each place it's included in, so if you disable the source within the scene, that will carry over to the actual resulting output.

In addition, if you're doing something with a webcam or similar, you can also include the source within the scene, but hidden. This will let you select it and have quick access to enable/disable without having to pull up the extra scene to control it.

Thank you...nice summary.

I know this is old, but I find groups to be a very powerful option for this. As long as the group is visible on all your scenes, the sources within the group will become visible on all the scenes when made visible within the group. And now that OBS provides source show and hide transition options, you can show or hide the source in the program feed with fade or cut transition.
