How do I add it as a dock?

In OBS, open Docks, then Custom Browser Docks. Enter a name, paste your Vortexia OBS link as the URL, and click Apply. The dock appears and can be moved like any other panel.

Does the dock match my stream?

Yes. It is the same page as your Browser Source, so it shows the same visual and reacts to the same music and events.

Can I use it as an audio level meter?

No. It shows a visual that moves with your music, not your levels. Use OBS’s Audio Mixer to watch levels.

Does it cost performance?

A little: the dock renders a second copy of the visual. Keep it small, and on paid plans lower Performance Mode if your machine is busy.

Yes. The free plan streams at 720p and 30fps with a small watermark, three engines and Twitch. Plus removes the watermark, renders at 1080p and 60fps, unlocks all eight engines and adds automatic YouTube and Kick events.

What is Keep an Eye on Your Visual From an OBS Dock?

OBS can show any web page in a dock, and that includes your Vortexia OBS link. Open Docks, then Custom Browser Docks, give the dock a name, paste the same link your Browser Source uses and click Apply. The dock then shows the visual live, reacting to your music and channel events exactly as your stream does, which is handy when the Vortexia source sits behind other layers or your scene is busy. Two things to know. It is a second copy of the visual, so your graphics card renders it twice; keep the dock small. And it is a picture that moves with the sound, not a level meter, so keep watching OBS’s Audio Mixer for your actual levels. The controls stay in the Vortexia dashboard in your browser.

How to use Keep an Eye on Your Visual From an OBS Dock

Copy your OBS link. Copy it from the Vortexia dashboard.
Open Custom Browser Docks. In OBS, choose Docks, then Custom Browser Docks.
Add the dock. Give it a name, paste the link as the URL and click Apply.
Keep it small. Dock it at a small size so the second render stays light.
