OBS Studio Keyboard shortcuts

Get the poster

OBS Studio is the free, open-source standard for live streaming and screen recording. While most of its action Hotkeys (start/stop streaming, scene switching, mute, etc.) ship unbound for you to assign in Settings, OBS does include a set of built-in keyboard shortcuts for editing scenes, managing sources, and arranging items in the preview. These are the officially documented defaults.
