+# OBS Studio
 Open Broadcaster Software (OBS) is a free and open-source cross-platform streaming and recording program built with Qt and maintained by the OBS Project. As of 2016, the software is now referred to as OBS Studio.[6] There are versions of OBS Studio available for Microsoft Windows, macOS, and Linux distributions.

 This will produce the 180s snippets and an m3u8 playlist. So if everything fails in terms of fuse you should still be able to just drop all the files into a video editing tool or ffmpeg

-== Usage at VOC
+## Usage at VOC
 Our on-premise video productions typically use [[:voctomix]] or voc2mix, but started using OBS for the remote conferences in 2020 (DiVOCs, SOTM 2020, etc.) for speakers and in our "cloud" due to its flexibility. The first usecase is described at [[:distributed-conference#open_broadcast_software_obs|distributed conference]], the second at [[events:sotm2020#mixer_manual]] and https://github.com/voc/cm/compare/mixer-obs.
-== Usage during rC3
+## Usage during rC3
 For rC3 everything is different: We (VOC and the decentralised studios/channels) use several different video mixing solutions, both in software and maybe even in hardware. See [[events:rc3:production]] to get an overview: Speakers used OBS Studio to prerecord talks (provided with a [[events:rc3:speakers-prep:obs-template|template]]); studios use OBS Studio for playout or live video production, channels use OBS Studio as broadcast distribution switcher. A basic template for this second use-case can be found on [[events:rc3:artwork]].
+## Tools and Tricks
+### Adjusting audio levels for sources not on air
+If you want to check audio levels for sources that are not currently live, there is a small trick to get OBS to show them: simply pull the transition slider one pixel to the right. This will add the audio meters, but you won't see and hear the new sources yet.
