How to end your stream with one hotkey in OBS

Make a KeyRoutines routine with a Hotkey trigger and Ask Yes or No first. If you say yes, OBS: switch scene shows your ending scene, a Delay gives viewers 30 seconds of outro, OBS: record / stream / replay stops the stream, and Close app closes OBS.

Steps

1. 1

   Add a Hotkey trigger

   Pick a chord you won't hit by accident, such as Ctrl+Alt+Shift+E.

2. 2

   Confirm

   Add Ask Yes or No with "End the stream?" and an If on its answer, so the rest only runs on Yes.

3. 3

   Show the outro

   Add OBS: switch scene with your ending scene and a Delay of 30 seconds.

4. 4

   Stop the stream

   Add OBS: record / stream / replay set to stop the stream, and stop the recording too if you record.

5. 5

   Close up

   Add Close app for OBS and Show banner with "Stream ended".

Tips

• Ask Yes or No defaults to No when nobody answers, so a stray key press never ends the stream.
• Pairs with the free Stream Start template, which opens OBS and goes live.
