Switch the OBS sceneShow an overlay source
OBS control, over its built-in WebSocket.
TipLink connects to OBS Studio 28 or newer through OBS's own WebSocket server, so there is no plugin to install. Enable it under Tools, then WebSocket Server Settings.
- Switch scene
- Change scene on any event, with an optional list of authorised scenes so it never interrupts a BRB or Starting Soon screen.
- Source and filter visibility
- Show or hide a source in a scene, or enable and disable a filter on any source.
- Recording and streaming
- Start and stop recording, start and stop streaming, and add chapter markers.
- OBS events as triggers
- Scene changes, stream started or stopped, recording started or stopped, and source visibility changes can all start alerts.
- Local or remote OBS
- Connect to localhost by default on port 4455, or to another computer on your network, with an optional password.
- Reconnects automatically
- If the connection drops, TipLink retries up to five times. Auto Connect links it each time TipLink starts.

Good to know.
Does TipLink work with OBS Studio?
Yes. TipLink connects to OBS Studio 28 or newer over its built-in WebSocket server and can both control OBS and react to it.
How do I connect OBS to TipLink?
In OBS, go to Tools, then WebSocket Server Settings, and enable the server. Then add OBS Studio on the Platforms page in TipLink with the host, port (4455 by default) and password if you set one.
What can TipLink do in OBS?
Switch scenes, show or hide sources, enable or disable filters, start or stop recording and streaming, and add chapter markers.
Can OBS start an alert?
Yes. Scene changes, stream or recording starting and stopping, and source visibility changes are all available as triggers.
Does OBS need to be running?
Yes. TipLink connects while OBS is open. If the connection drops it retries a few times, then you can reconnect manually.
Do I need to write code?
No. You build alerts in the app by choosing an event and the actions that follow.
Can I try it first?
Yes. There is a 7-day free trial.
