OBS Studio Program Window Question/Feature

[rwresh]

When using OBS studio, is there a way to display the scene name in the program window and preview windows? If not, This would be a good feature so people will know what scene is active in the program window. Thanks

Just put a text label source in each scene and type the scene name. No need to make it a feature.

I think the idea here is to have the scene labelled so the operator knows what scene is in view, like the labels in the Multiview,
not have it shown in the actual video which is what would happen if you added a text label.

I second this request. Please add scene labels for the Preview and Program views.

+1 on this request. The label is for the operator only and not for broadcast, similar to the "Preview" and "Program" labels.

It would be super helpful to have scene labels (which are cameras in my case) in a highly visible area.

I gather there is no way to see a text label that we create in the overflow area?

What is a "label" source? A text source won't work because it's visible in the pgm output. Need the scene name to appear above the Program and Preview Panels. As in "Program (scene name)" "Preview (scene name)"

+1 here. Was going to ask for this.

If you don't mind installing a script and a plugin, you can do it youself.
