Streamlabs Desktop

Mastery HQ drives Streamlabs Desktop through the local named-pipe API Streamlabs exposes on the same machine. There’s nothing to configure — no WebSocket password, no token — the two apps simply find each other when both are running.

  • Scene switching from the in-app control strip.
  • Go Live / Stop and Record / Stop toggles.
  • Automatic connect/disconnect handling: Streamlabs not running just means no strip, never an error storm.
  • Mic mute/unmute — Streamlabs audio addressing ships once it can be verified against a live install.
  • Privacy scene guard — currently OBS-only.
  • Setup steps live in Streamlabs setup; the full control reference is here.
  • If OBS and Streamlabs are both connected, the strip prefers OBS.
