OBS and Konduit: Browser Source plus OBS link

The two ways Konduit works with OBS: a Browser Source puts alerts and chat on stream, and the OBS link lets the rail switch scenes and go live.

Two links, two jobs

OBS still captures and sends your video. Konduit connects to it in two ways, and you can use one or both:

  • Browser Source. Konduit's alerts, chat and subs show on stream through a Browser Source you add in OBS.
  • OBS link. Konduit talks to OBS over OBS WebSocket, so the rail beside your chat window can switch scenes, mute audio, record, and start or end the stream.

Put Konduit on stream

  1. In Konduit, open Overlays. Under OBS Browser Source, choose Copy URL next to Standard. The Standard source is 1920 × 1080 and carries alerts, chat and subs.
  2. In OBS, add a Browser Source to your scene, paste the URL, and set the width to 1920 and the height to 1080.
  3. Back in Konduit, choose Send test. The test should appear in OBS.

Open the source once while Konduit is running. After that it reconnects on its own, whichever app you open first. OBS has to run on the same computer as Konduit.

If you'd rather place them one by one, the same panel has separate Alert, Chat and Subscription sources. Set each one's size in OBS to match that overlay's size on the Overlays page.

Link OBS so Konduit can control it

  1. In OBS 28 or newer, open Tools → WebSocket Server Settings and turn the server on. Note the port (4455 unless you changed it) and the server password.
  2. In Konduit, open Integrations and choose the gear on the OBS Studio card.
  3. Enter the server password. It saves when you click away from the field. Leave the host as 127.0.0.1 and the port as 4455 unless you changed them in OBS.
  4. Turn on Connect Konduit to OBS Studio. The Connect button on the card does the same.
  5. When the card shows Connected, pick your BRB scene. The rail beside your chat window now controls OBS.

What the rail does

  • Scenes lists every OBS scene. Tap one to switch to it. Drag a scene onto the rail to pin it there.
  • Mic and Desk mute and unmute your microphone and your desktop audio.
  • Rec starts and stops recording.
  • BRB switches to your BRB scene and mutes your mic. Press it again to go back to the scene you left.
  • Alert and Sub fire the next alert or the next sub in the queue.
  • Live starts the stream: press once to arm it, then again within 6 seconds. While you're live, the same button ends the stream after asking you to confirm.

When OBS stops streaming, Konduit ends its session too. Each of these controls can also have a hotkey, including one per scene. Set them on the Hotkeys page.

For a second monitor, choose Pop out remote from the rail's Scenes menu. You get a small bar with the rail's one-tap controls that stays on top of other windows.

If the OBS card shows a problem

  • OBS is not running: open OBS, or choose Launch OBS on the card.
  • OBS rejected the WebSocket password: copy the password from OBS's WebSocket Server Settings and enter it again.
  • No OBS WebSocket at that address: check that the server is turned on in OBS and that the port matches.
  • OBS 28+ required: update OBS.

If a test shows in Konduit but not on stream, right-click the Browser Source in OBS and choose Refresh.
