How to Switch Scenes using Hotkeys when in Another Desktop on My Mac?

Switching scenes using a hotkey seems to work only if OBS is active in the current desktop view and is not hidden (minimized), but as soon as I hide it, the hotkeys stop working. So I need OBS to be hidden or running on a different desktop on my Macbook because I am doing a screen recording for a video. I want to be able to quickly cut transition between my overhead camera to my desktop screen recording without needing bring OBS out on top every time I need to switch. Essentially, it would be very nice if I could be able to do camera/scene switching as if I had an external switcher like an ATEM mini.

My preferred setup:
  • OBS app running on Desktop 1
  • OBS screen capturing on Desktop 2
  • Scene switch from anywhere using keyboard hotkeys
Specs:
  • Macbook w/ Intel
  • Ventura 13.6.7
  • OBS 29.1.3
Any ideas on how it's possible to do this?
