LIVE

Cloud OBS: IRLToolkit and more

Your phone streams to an OBS that runs in the cloud, not on your computer.

Our plugin runs inside that cloud OBS. It sends a copy of your voice to StreamTranslate, and your captions come back through a browser source. Nothing extra runs on your phone.

Your provider installs the plugin for you. Send their support a quick request, then do the steps below.

Hi! Could you install the StreamTranslate OBS plugin on my server? It's open source and builds on Linux: https://github.com/Zeusxzx/obs-streamtranslate. Thanks!
  1. Grab your plugin key

    Open your control page, go to Cloud OBS / IRL Mode, and generate a key.

  2. Add the filter

    In your cloud OBS, right-click your stream audio, then Filters+StreamTranslate, and paste your key. The status line shows when it's connected.

  3. Add the captions

    Sources+Browser, then paste your overlay URL from the control page.

  4. Go live

    Captions start as soon as the filter hears you. To change languages mid-stream, open your control page on your phone. The change applies live.

FAQ

Does this change my video or my stream?

No. The plugin passes your audio through untouched and sends a copy to us. Your video never touches StreamTranslate.

Does it drain my battery or data?

On a cloud OBS setup, nothing extra runs on your phone. The plugin lives on the server that already handles your stream.

How much delay is there?

Captions usually land a second or two after each sentence.

Can I switch languages mid-stream?

Yes. Open your control page on your phone and change it. It applies live, no restart.

Is there a free plan?

Yes. Every account starts with free hours.
