How it works
- Pick the source and choose show, hide, or the other way round.
- Pick the scene too, or leave it empty to use whichever scene OBS shows when the step runs.
- A source inside a group is switched within its group, and a source placed twice in the scene is switched everywhere it appears.
- If it's already in the state you want, nothing is sent.
Routines that use it
Hide the webcam on a call
When Mic or camera in use sees Zoom start using the camera, hide the webcam source in OBS.
Overlay on a key
A hotkey toggles a Be Right Back image in your gameplay scene.
Hide chat while idle
When you've been Idle for a few minutes, hide the chat overlay; show it again when you're Back at the PC.

Questions
- Can I hide my webcam in OBS with a hotkey?
- Yes. Use OBS: show or hide a source with a Hotkey trigger, pick the webcam and set it to toggle.
- Does it work for sources inside groups?
- Yes. A source inside a group is switched inside that group, the way OBS does it.
