Dock advanced scene switcher macros as buttons

 Here are some steps to dock Advanced Scene switcher macros to buttons in the OBS interface.

Select the macro you want to dock from the Advanced Scene Switcher macro list, then select the gear icon.

In this example, the macro "Replay-In" is being docked.


A new window will pop up, at the bottom there will be a section called "Dock Settings"
Select the option "Register dock widgets..."


Now give it a name in the "Run button text".  This is the name of the button as you want it to appear in the OBS console.  Useful if your macro names are cryptic in nature and you want something different to appear for the user.


I usually deselect "Add button to pause or unpause...".  If your macro is being manually triggered, you don't usually need this feature.


Scroll to the bottom of this windows and select "OK" for your changes to be saved.

Go to the main OBS window and select "DOCKS".  In my example you see the macro name (Replay-In) as it appears in AdvSS.



Select your macro name

You should now see it in a box with the name inside the box reflecting what you entered in for the Run Button Text.


You can now doc it into your OBS windows
