I know that I can use activators (inputAudio) to change the color of a button on a Streamdeck, but I was wondering if there is a way to change an input's title, or color so that the input becomes very visible when the audio is turned on or off.

Any thoughts are appreciated.

So is this not currently possible? If so, I will add a post to the Feature Request forum.

Not tested but could turning the audio ON/off not trigger putting a color input as top layer on the input if the Audio button turing green under the input is not clear enough!

Doggy,

That's the kind of thing I'm trying to do.
The question is what triggers the color change (for example if the user clicks on an input's audio button)?
Activators work fine for connected devices (Stream Deck, etc.) but I don't see a way to change an input's properties (perhaps turning a layer on or off)

Suggestions are appreciated.

Trigger: say you click to change the audio on/off on the audio buttons (not by shortcut) a script can check if specified inputs are Muted or not by checking the API XML
Same script can add/remove a layer @ said input (say a colored frame, bar or icon) etc
Or maybe change those inputs category ( color ) (Scratch this)
Or have a title displaying all that are on or off ....

Doggy,

Scripting won’t work for me because I would need this to be used with all editions of vMix. I should have mentioned that earlier.

Yes it will if you do it with a small external "app" instead of vMix's inside script (same logic) ;-)
No edition restriction there

That’s an interesting approach.
