Streamlabs Desktop setup

If Streamlabs Desktop is your streaming app (instead of OBS Studio), Mastery HQ connects to it over its local named-pipe API and gives you scene and stream/record control without alt-tabbing.

Setup

1. Install and run Streamlabs Desktop on the same PC.
2. Enter Streaming Mode in Mastery HQ.
3. With Streamlabs running, the connection establishes automatically; the control strip appears above the Streaming Mode badge with an SLOBS label.

What you can control

• Active scene — a dropdown of your Streamlabs scenes.
• Go Live / LIVE — start or stop streaming.
• Record / REC — start or stop recording.

Mic mute buttons are OBS-only for now — Streamlabs audio control ships once it can be verified against a live install (honest-limitations policy).

Good to know

• If both OBS and Streamlabs are connected, the strip shows OBS (it has the fuller feature set, including the privacy scene guard).
• No Streamlabs running → no strip; the app degrades gracefully rather than erroring.
