The windows you'll place
- The chat window holds every platform's chat and Next Up, where you see who's next and fire or skip the alert.
- The rail is a slim strip of OBS controls. It docks to the chat window's right edge (or the left edge when there's no room), moves with it, and never covers chat.
- The Live Dashboard holds the queues, the alert history and every setting.
A common layout
Put OBS on your main screen and the chat window, with its rail, on the screen you glance at while live. The Live Dashboard can sit behind it or on a third screen. You can fire and skip alerts from the chat window and the rail without opening it.
Give the chat window enough width that names and short messages don't wrap. Konduit remembers where you left the chat window and the Live Dashboard, and how big they were.
Only one screen?
Keep the chat window, with its rail, beside OBS. It shows every platform's chat and connection, and you can fire and skip alerts from it, so the Live Dashboard can stay minimized until you need a setting.
The desk remote
With OBS linked, choose Pop out remote from the rail's Scenes menu, or Open the desk remote in the OBS Studio card's settings. You get a small bar with the rail's one-tap controls that stays on top of other windows, so you can park it on any screen, even over a game. Anything that needs a decision sends you back to the chat window.
After you change monitors
Open Konduit and check that each window is where you expect it before you go live.
