OBS hotkeys

Skip, pause, or repeat alerts from OBS while the Browser Source stays open.

Control URLs are secret GET links from Overview → Stream Deck / OBS hotkeys → Show control URLs. Anyone with a link can control your overlay. Treat them like passwords.

Actions: Skip (drop current), Repeat (replay last), Pause (stop current + hold queue), Resume (continue), Mute (hold queue but keep current), Unmute, Clear (empty queue).

Song requests have their own URLs (Stream Deck page → Advanced): next song, pause / play, volume + / −, clear the song queue and open / close requests. They work with the YouTube player and with Spotify.

The overlay Browser Source must stay running. Controls talk to OBS through that page over the network. They do not replace the overlay URL.

Steps

1
Overview → Show control URLs → copy the action you need (start with Skip and Pause).
2
OBS → View → Docks → Custom Browser Docks → add a dock named e.g. “Trigglow Skip” and paste the Skip URL. Opening or refreshing that dock fires the action once.
3
Bind an OBS hotkey to show/hide or refresh that dock (or use a tiny local script / AutoHotkey that opens the URL in the background).
4
Test live: fire an alert with Test, then trigger Skip / Pause / Resume from the dock or hotkey.

Warning

Rotate the secret if a URL leaks (Overview → Rotate secret). Old buttons stop working.

Tip

Prefer Stream Deck if you want one-press buttons without managing docks.

Warning

Never put control URLs in public chat or on a public reverse proxy.

Note

GET control requires the secret token in the URL (login cookies alone are not enough).
