OBS Layouts and Map Casting

Enable OBS and protect its key

1. Open Campaign Settings, then Streaming (OBS).
2. Enable the integration and copy the browser-source URL needed by OBS from the Browser Sources list.
3. Add it as a Browser Source at the resolution expected by the chosen overlay.
4. Rotate the key immediately if the URL is exposed to someone who should not have access.

Build an overlay layout

1. Create a layout from a preset or start with an empty canvas.
2. Add initiative, party roster, rotating character, and date widgets as needed.
3. Position and resize widgets on the 1920 by 1080 canvas.
4. Configure each widget, select a theme, and preview the result.
5. Copy the layout-specific browser-source URL into OBS.

Cast a map safely

1. Open DM Screen Broadcast mode or a campaign map and start casting it to the OBS map source.
2. Mark only the intended pins as stream-safe.
3. Use the pointer and label controls when directing attention during play.
4. Stop casting or switch maps when the scene changes.

Use the War Table background

The animated War Table browser source is a decorative broadcast background. Choose Calm, Active, or Dramatic motion to fit the scene, and layer readable overlays above it in OBS.
