Fadester for OBS

Fadester for OBS puts OBS Studio on your Stream Deck: scenes, transitions, sources, filters and audio on keys and dials. It talks to OBS's built-in WebSocket server, so the main controls need no extra OBS plugin.

What you can do:

Scenes and transitions: next, previous, random, cut, preview and take, or run the transition you choose. In Studio Mode a dial throws a T-bar.

Scene mixer dial: blend the Live scene into Next with a colourful mixer on the touch strip.

Audio: ride any mixer input on a dial, or fade it up and down from a key. Your levels above 0 dB are respected.

Sources and layers: browse a scene's sources, show or hide them, set blend modes and order.

Filters: ride any filter setting on a dial, or switch a filter on and off from a key.

VJster (included): speed, quality and play/pause of a YouTube video playing in Chrome, with the free VJster Chrome extension.

Fourteen ready-made layouts for Stream Deck +, 15 keys and Mini open from any action's settings page; your own profiles stay as they are.

Setup takes about five minutes: turn on OBS's WebSocket server (Tools > WebSocket Server Settings), drag one Fadester key onto your deck, paste the OBS password once, and open a ready-made layout. Every key says when OBS is not connected and what to do.

Nine languages: English, German, Spanish, French, Japanese, Korean, Dutch, Simplified and Traditional Chinese.

Works with Stream Deck, Stream Deck +, Stream Deck Mini and Stream Deck Neo, on Windows 10 or later and macOS 13.5 or later. Needs Stream Deck 7.6 or later and OBS Studio with its WebSocket server on (tested with OBS 33). Optional companions, all free: Midi Fadester (MIDI controllers), Visual Sidechain (audio-reactive effects with a Panic key) and Fadester Companion (game controller and TourBox, from the Microsoft Store).

Free and open source (GPL-2.0-or-later). Written with AI assistance and tested on real hardware.
