How to Add the SYQEL Web App to OBS

You can stream or record SYQEL straight from your browser, as a live background in OBS, with nothing to install but OBS. It takes two parts: the picture (capture the browser window running SYQEL) and the sound (add your audio input to OBS).

1. Start SYQEL

1. Open vj.syqel.com and sign in.
2. In the top bar, pick your audio source. The web app hears a microphone or audio input only, such as your DJ mixer or audio interface. It can’t hear music playing on the computer itself unless you route it through a virtual device (see Creating a virtual audio input).
3. Press H to hide the top bar and performance bar, and click the fullscreen icon if you want the window to fill a screen.

2. Capture it in OBS

1. In OBS, under Sources, click + → Window Capture (on Mac, macOS Screen Capture with the method set to window capture).
2. Choose the browser window running SYQEL.
3. Right-click the source → Transform → Fit to screen.

If SYQEL is fullscreen on its own monitor, Display Capture of that monitor works too. If the browser’s tabs or address bar still show, crop them with Alt-drag (Option-drag on Mac) on the source’s edge.

Capture your own browser window rather than adding vj.syqel.com as a Browser Source: SYQEL needs you signed in and needs permission to use your audio input, and you grant both in your browser.

Audio

OBS doesn’t get sound from the SYQEL window. Add the same input SYQEL listens to as an audio source in OBS. See Setting up OBS audio source.

Then click Start Streaming or Start Recording in OBS.

For a cleaner feed

SYQEL Desktop sends only the visuals to OBS over NDI (or Spout on Windows), with no browser window to crop. It can listen to your music apps directly and record your show itself. See Can I use SYQEL as a background for streaming?

On Free, the SYQEL logo is always on the visuals. A paid plan removes it and lets you show your own; see pricing.
