Same source in multiple scenes, all different scales, turn all on/off in single scene?

[flagstaffhill]

Hi all. Just started using OBS and can't find answer to this anywhere. I'm assuming it's possible:

I'd like to have a single source (eg webcam) across multiple scenes, but each with a different position or scale. And to be able to toggle them all off with a single click.

Reason being - I am using Windowed Projector windows for each scene (for different monitors etc) and each has the same content but in different layouts etc.

Thanks!

You can add the same webcam as one source only (other sources that point to the same webcam device will be black). However, to have multiple instances of the same webcam source, add the additional instances with the "add additional" option. To crop these instances individually, press and hold down the ALT key and drag the handles of a source.

To apply different filters to each instance, don't apply them directly to the source, because these will show up for every instance. Instead, create a group and put the instance you want to apply the filters into that group, then apply filters to the group and not directly to the source. This way the filters will not show up on every instance of your source.
