How to switch OBS scene collection automatically per game

With KeyRoutines Pro, add a Game started trigger for the game, wait for OBS with Wait until and OBS is connected, then run OBS: switch scene collection and OBS: switch profile. OBS is ready with that game's scenes and settings before you go live.

KeyRoutines Pro is a one-time $29.99 upgrade for up to 2 PCs.

  1. 1

    Watch the game

    Add Game started and pick the game.

  2. 2

    Add Open app for OBS with If running set to reuse, then Wait until with OBS is connected.

  3. 3

    Switch the collection
