Features
DeckPilot beta is designed for fast livestream actions as an OBS controller, OBS remote control app, and Stream Deck alternative for teams that need responsive control while the product continues to improve.
Trigger multiple OBS actions with a single macro button.
Macro controls
Give operators a fast OBS controller for repeated actions without stacking multiple manual taps during a live production.
Automate common livestream actions such as switching scenes and starting streams.
Automation workflows
Package common OBS scene control and stream action sequences into reusable automations that reduce mistakes under pressure.
Monitor stream health including bitrate, dropped frames, and CPU usage.
Stream monitoring
Keep an OBS mobile controller view on stream health so teams can see bitrate, dropped frames, and CPU pressure at a glance.
Scene Switching
Instantly switch between OBS scenes with a single tap. Large touch buttons make it easy to control transitions during a live stream.
Audio Control
Mute and unmute microphones, adjust audio sources, and manage the OBS mixer directly from your device.
Macros
Trigger multiple OBS actions with a single button. Example: switch to intro scene → wait 3 seconds → start stream → unmute microphone.
Quick Controls
Start streaming, stop streaming, start recording, mute microphone, and enable studio mode without leaving the controller interface.
Stream Health Monitoring
Monitor dropped frames, bitrate stability, CPU usage, stream status, and recording status. DeckPilot warns you if something goes wrong while you're live.
Secure Local Connection
DeckPilot connects directly to OBS using OBS WebSocket. No cloud relay, no accounts required, no external servers involved. All communication stays on your local network.
Multi-Device Support
Use multiple devices simultaneously. Example: phone for scene switching, tablet for monitoring, another device for macros.
Setup
Setup is intentionally short. DeckPilot beta connects through the built-in OBS WebSocket server, so most operators can move from install to live control in a few minutes even as the product continues to evolve.

FAQ
Common questions about the DeckPilot beta, including subscriptions, OBS compatibility, remote control, audio, and live broadcast safety.
Does DeckPilot require a subscription?
No. DeckPilot does not require a subscription to operate.
The app connects directly to OBS using the OBS WebSocket protocol, so it can run entirely on your local network without a cloud account or relay service.
Future versions may introduce optional premium features, but the core OBS control experience is designed to work without a recurring subscription.
Does it require an OBS plugin?
No additional plugin is required. DeckPilot works with the built-in OBS WebSocket server included in modern versions of OBS Studio.
Once WebSocket is enabled, DeckPilot can control scenes, audio sources, macros, and stream actions directly from your phone or tablet.
Open OBS Studio.
Go to Tools and then WebSocket Server Settings.
Enable the WebSocket server.
Can it work over the internet?
DeckPilot is designed primarily for local network connections.
For live production, a direct local connection is the most reliable setup because it avoids extra latency, relay failures, and unnecessary security exposure.
Advanced users can configure secure remote access with VPN or network routing, but the recommended setup is on the same network as the OBS machine.
Which OBS versions are supported?
DeckPilot supports OBS Studio 28 and newer.
Those versions include the integrated OBS WebSocket server required for secure remote control. Older OBS versions that depend on external WebSocket plugins may not be supported.
Which platforms are supported?
DeckPilot currently supports Android phones and tablets.
Planned support includes iPhones, iPads, and additional tablet layouts for larger screens. The current release is optimized for touch-based control on both phones and tablets.
Is DeckPilot a Stream Deck alternative?
Yes. DeckPilot gives OBS operators many of the same practical controls as a hardware Stream Deck, including scene switching, macro automation, audio control, and stream start or stop actions.
The difference is that DeckPilot runs on a phone or tablet, so you get a touch-based control surface without buying dedicated hardware.
Can DeckPilot control OBS scenes remotely?
Yes. DeckPilot lets operators switch OBS scenes instantly from a mobile device on the same network as the OBS computer.
That is useful for livestream creators, church production teams, and event operators who need fast scene changes without walking back to the streaming machine.
Can DeckPilot control OBS audio?
Yes. DeckPilot can mute or unmute microphones, manage audio sources, and give operators quick access to OBS audio controls from the mobile interface.
That makes it useful as a remote OBS audio mixer for teams that need quick adjustments during live broadcasts without opening the full OBS mixer.
Is DeckPilot safe for live broadcasts?
Yes. DeckPilot connects directly to OBS using the OBS WebSocket protocol and does not route control commands through external servers.
Control traffic stays on the local network, which improves reliability and reduces the risk of connection interruptions during a live broadcast.
