Integration details

OBS Studio for live caption workflows

Add Stage Captions to OBS as a Browser source for livestreams, recordings, webinars, and hybrid event feeds. The goal is to keep the integration simple for event teams: one caption session, a clean audio path, and a browser-based output that can move into the tools, displays, or audience devices already used for the event.

  • No plugin dependency

    OBS can load the caption output directly through a standard browser source.

  • Transparent display options

    Use caption display modes designed for overlaying text on top of video content.

  • Production friendly

    Keep captions inside the same scene workflow your streaming operator already uses.

Common questions

What teams usually ask

What is the best way to use Stage Captions with OBS Studio?

Start with a Stage Captions room, connect the event audio source, then route the browser-based caption output to the display, stream, or audience access point that fits the event.

Does this integration require a custom plugin?

No. Stage Captions is built around browser outputs, links, and QR codes, so most workflows can use standard browser views rather than custom production plugins.

Can the same caption session support other outputs?

Yes. The same live caption session can support multiple viewing paths, including production tools, venue screens, confidence monitors, and attendee devices.
