> How do you make OBS switch to showing your browser when you open it up to look at docs? Do you manually toggle it in OBS or is there a tool available for this?

I keep things as lazy as possible, and just stream my entire desktop (with slight crop) instead of a specific window. I have my browser window lined up and positioned on the left so the webcam doesn't cover up anything. I then can just CMD-tab to it quickly.

The benefit of this is that folks also see your development flow in a more realistic way, as switching scenes can look slick but departs from how you normally work.

Forgive my focusing on the unimportant things, but: what’s the slight crop for?

Sorry that probably sounded confusing - I was being pedantic in my description. In the article I explain that I want private areas on my desktop for watching chat and alert activity hence the crop of my desktop :)

Oh yeah I see that now. I was thinking that was all done in the scene devoted to privacy but that makes sense. Thanks!
