In this blog post, we will walk you through the steps to set it up, features you can explore, and troubleshoot common issues.

Preparation for Using OBS Blade

Before diving into the functionalities of OBS Blade, you’ll need to ensure that the OBS WebSocket Plugin is installed. Depending on your OBS Studio version, the steps differ:

• If you have OBS Studio version 28.0 or higher: You’re all set, as the WebSocket plugin comes pre-installed!
• If your version is lower than 28.0: Follow these steps to install the plugin manually:
• Visit this link.
• Go to the Release section and download version 5.X and above for your operating system.
• Restart OBS Studio to ensure the plugin is activated.

Make sure the device running OBS Blade is on the same network as the device running OBS. The autodiscover feature should help you find open OBS sessions. You can also manually input the local IP address of your OBS device by checking this guide.
