Control it from another.** You run *OBS Studio* on your streaming rig, but you actually work, code, present, or game on a different computer. Every scene switch means alt-tabbing back β€” or getting up and walking over. 😀 **SceneDeck fixes that.** It's a fast, native Linux remote for your whole OBS session, so you can switch scenes, roll recordings, and ride your audio without ever breaking focus on your main machine. ✨ 🀝 **Want a co-host or moderator on the controls?** OBS accepts more than one WebSocket client at once, so a collaborator can run their own copy of SceneDeck against the same rig. You can both switch scenes and ride the mixer, with every change reflected on both screens. πŸ—‚οΈ **Scene list grown out of control?** Real setups fill up with utility scenes, camera-only scenes, overlays, and source wrappers β€” stuff that belongs *inside* other scenes but should never be clicked live by accident. One wrong click on stream and... 😬 SceneDeck lets you tag scenes by **role** and keeps the Live view showing only the primary scenes you actually switch between. No renaming, no restructuring β€” your OBS setup stays exactly as it is. πŸ‘ 🎚️ **Fighting with audio in the middle of a stream?** SceneDeck gives you a proper mixer for your global audio and the inputs of the active scene β€” even inputs nested inside other scenes and groups. πŸ”Š * Mute or unmute any input instantly. * Ride levels with compact vertical sliders. * πŸ”’ Lock a slider so you never nudge it by accident on air. πŸ“‘ **Flying blind on stream health?** A status bar sits at the bottom of every page with the numbers that matter: connection state, stream and record status, FPS, streaming bitrate, OBS CPU usage, and dropped frames β€” so you spot trouble *before* your viewers do. πŸ‘€ 🧭 **Everything else you'd expect:** * ▢️ Switch program scenes from clean, role-aware Live cards. * πŸ”΄ Start and stop streaming and recording with clear feedback. * πŸ”€ Switch OBS profiles and scene collections right from the header. * πŸ•ΈοΈ Inspect nested scene dependencies in the *Graph* view. * 🩺 Run *Doctor* checks over your roles and dependency structure. * πŸ’Ύ Export and import your local scene registry as YAML. 🎨 **Made to feel at home on Linux:** * Built with Rust, GTK4, and libadwaita for a truly native experience. * Follows your system light/dark theme β€” or force either mode. * Ships polished built-in themes and can load your own custom CSS. * πŸ” Keeps your OBS password in the system keyring, never in plain text. βœ… **What you'll need:** * A Linux desktop with GTK4 and libadwaita. * OBS Studio 28+ with the built-in WebSocket server enabled. * SceneDeck connects to `127.0.0.1:4455` right out of the box. πŸ’œ Free and open source β€” source, issues, and docs live at ### Package name * scenedeck --- ### License * MIT --- ### Last updated * 21 August 2026 - latest/stable --- ### Websites * [worxbend.github.io](https://worxbend.github.io/scenedeck/ "https://worxbend.github.io/scenedeck/") * [github.com/worxbend/scenedeck](https://github.com/worxbend/scenedeck "https://github.com/worxbend/scenedeck") --- ### Source code * [github.com/worxbend/scenedeck](https://github.com/worxbend/scenedeck "https://github.com/worxbend/scenedeck") --- ### Report a bug * [github.com/worxbend/scenedeck/issues](https://github.com/worxbend/scenedeck/issues "https://github.com/worxbend/scenedeck/issues") --- ##### Report a Snap Store violation * [Report this Snap](https://snapcraft.io/install/scenedeck/arch#report-snap-modal) --- ## Enable snaps on Arch Linux and install SceneDeck Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully. Snaps are discoverable and installable from the [Snap Store](https://snapcraft.io/store), an app store with an audience of millions. ### Enable snapd On Arch Linux, snap can be installed from the [Arch User Repository (AUR).](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/snapd/) The [manual build process](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_User_Repository#Installing_packages) is the Arch-supported install method for AUR packages, and you’ll need the [prerequisites](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_User_Repository#Prerequisites) installed before you can install any AUR package. You can then install snap with the following: ``` git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/snapd.git cd snapd makepkg -si ``` Once installed, the *systemd* unit that manages the main snap communication socket needs to be enabled: ``` sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.socket ``` If [AppArmor](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/AppArmor) is enabled in your system, enable the service which loads AppArmor profiles for snaps: ``` sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.apparmor.service ``` To enable *classic* snap support, enter the following to create a symbolic link between `/var/lib/snapd/snap` and `/snap`: ``` sudo ln -s /var/lib/snapd/snap /snap ``` Either log out and back in again, or restart your system, to ensure snap’s paths are updated correctly. ### Install SceneDeck To install SceneDeck, simply use the following command: ``` sudo snap install scenedeck ``` ### Other popular snaps… [See more...](https://snapcraft.io/search?categories=featured) [See more in Featured](https://snapcraft.io/search?categories=featured) ### More things to do… #### [Get the snap store](https://snapcraft.io/snap-store) Browse and find snaps from the convenience of your desktop using the snap store snap. #### [Learn more about snaps](https://snapcraft.io/docs) Interested to find out more about snaps?
