Hi, I am looking to make the turn on/off one of the four overlays with a keystroke. I auto trigger-assign the targeted overlay with items unique to the active input in the program output. I am looking to be able to manually bring what ever is there in and out and would like to avoid using my mouse to do that! Any solution that requires an input to be assigned will not cut it!!

Thanks!

Not available

EDIT: Use Autohotkey to click those Buttons with shortcuts

I think I understand what you are asking but let me rephrase to make sure I do. You are asking if you can crested a single keystroke to turn on/off any single overlay? If this is true then yes you can do this by creating a shortcut choosing the overlay you need from the list and then assign that to a unique key on either a keyboard or other external device like a Streamdeck.

Hope this helps.

Would be great, but you cannot turn on a specific overlay (The 4 master overlays, not the input overlays) without specifying an input reference. I need it to just turn on what is in the buffer!

Basically simulating pressing one of the 4 buttons in the top center of the gui ?

Already gave a working option above

with autohotkey for example

Code:
N::
ControlClick, WindowsForms10.BUTTON.app.0.378734a8,vMix
Return


will toggle the second overlay button by pressing the N key

need to check with the autohotkey window spy to check if the "WindowsFormsblahblah..." is the same on your installation

also this example takes not into account if the vMix window is active and if not is activated or any error trapping or stopping if you wan tto ue the n key for textinput etc

but its possible :-)
