Connect OBS control to the moments happening in chat
SheevChat uses OBS WebSocket to connect supported chat commands, events, timers, channel-point actions, overlays, and control buttons to OBS scenes and sources.

Automate common OBS work
- Switch to an exact scene or select from a configured set.
- Show, hide, or refresh supported sources.
- Coordinate browser-source overlays with scene changes.
- Trigger scene or source changes from commands, rewards, follows, raids, timers, or manual controls.
- Use waits to keep temporary camera, media, or alert moments visible before restoring the normal layout.
Examples that save live-show attention
A timed camera redeem can reveal a camera source, wait for the configured duration, and restore the prior state. A go-live SheevPad button can launch applications, connect services, set stream information, change scenes, and run announcements. An incoming raid can move to an acknowledgment scene while the same sequence handles chat and overlay responses.
Connect the broadcasting app you use
Connect OBS Studio through its WebSocket settings. If you use Streamlabs Desktop, connect it separately and choose Streamlabs Desktop actions for its scenes and sources. Test your sequences before a broadcast, especially when they return to a previous scene or change source visibility.
Who this is—and is not—for
Look elsewhere when
- Replacing OBS as the video compositor or encoder
- Cloud-only control while the local apps are offline
- Treating OBS Studio and Streamlabs Desktop as the same control connection

Questions creators ask
Frequently asked questions
Does SheevChat replace OBS Studio?
No. OBS remains the broadcasting and scene-composition application; SheevChat connects chat, events, overlays, and controls to it.
Can viewers change OBS scenes?
Only if you deliberately create a command, reward, or automation with appropriate permissions and safeguards.
Can I use SheevPad for OBS controls?
Yes. SheevPad buttons can run the same action sequences used elsewhere, including supported OBS actions.
