Lumia Customization Options with OBS
Now that your Lumia Stream is successfully connected to OBS, a myriad of customization possibilities opens up.
This guide delves into two exciting aspects of this integration: OBS alerts and OBS actions.
OBS Alerts
OBS Alerts function much like the alerts in familiar applications. A comprehensive list of available alerts can be found from the left sidebar:
Alerts > OBS
Within this menu, you'll discover various options corresponding to potential events during your stream.
Lumia allows you to specify actions triggered by events such as switching profiles, scenes, transitions, stream start, and stream stop.
For example, you have the option to trigger Text-to-Speech (TTS) when the stream starts and play a sliding sound effect during a scene transition.
Through Lumia, you have the flexibility to customize the outcomes, duration, and other fantastic features associated with these alerts.
OBS Actions
With OBS actions, Lumia has the ability to interact and change things within OBS based on reactions, chat, and animations.
For instance, suppose we want chat to be able to manipulate or interact with the source set in OBS.
Through the use of OBS actions, you can change how long scenes last, what keyword initiates them, and various other cool features.
These options can be found in the configuration of any alert, command, studio animation, or studio reaction
Setting it up is simple. Once you have a source set up in OBS, within Lumia, set the name, scene, and source.
Through the OBS Action Modal, you can adjust all the settings you need to have the scene exactly as you like it.

In summary, combining OBS and Lumia Stream showcases the ongoing progress in streaming tech. Whether you're new or experienced, this integration offers opportunities for creativity and engagement.
