How to launch a game and set up Discord, OBS and guides at once
KeyRoutines' game setup template uses a Hotkey trigger, Open app for the game through its launcher, a Wait until with App is ready, then opens Discord and OBS, switches the OBS scene, runs Apply layout on the side monitor and Open URLs for guides. A Show banner says when everything is ready.
Steps
- 1
Pick the game
Start from the ARC Raiders Setup template and choose your own game; its launcher starts it.
- 2
Wait until it's ready
Wait until with App is ready holds the next steps until the game's window is up and responding.
- 3
Open your tools
Open app starts Discord and OBS, and OBS: switch scene picks the game's scene once OBS is connected.
- 4
Arrange the side monitor
Apply layout places Discord and OBS on your second monitor without taking focus from the game.
- 5
Open guides and confirm
Open URLs opens maps or news in a new window, and Show banner tells you you're set.
Tips
- Nothing in this routine is sent to the game; it only arranges apps around it.
