Instructions

1. Download the latest release
2. Extract/unzip the archive so you can access recording-indicator.py
3. In OBS Studio, go to Tools → Scripts
4. Click the "+" button to add recording-indicator.py

Current limitations

• Source must be manually added (and positioned) to each scene it will be used it (this may or may not be a limitation?)

Ideas / Goals / Roadmap

• Have a(n optional) source for when recording is paused
• Have a(n optional) source for when not recording
• Allow the creation/deletion of "default" sources for recording/paused/not recording
  • Maybe a custom location as well? (ambitious)
