Set up a transition stinger in OBS or Streamlabs

A stinger is a short video with a transparent background that plays over your scenes. The important setting is the moment the scene changes, while the screen is covered.

01
Open the transitions
In OBS, in the Scene Transitions panel, click the plus. In Streamlabs Desktop, open the settings then Scene Transitions.
02
Choose the Stinger type
Name it, then select the stinger's WebM file.
03
Set the transition point
This is the moment, in milliseconds, when the screen is fully covered. For our stingers, the value is given with each file.
04
Set the duration and test
Keep the video's duration and try it by switching scenes. If you can see the change before the screen is covered, raise the transition point a little.
05
Use it as the default transition
Or link it to specific scenes in Streamlabs, for example the switch from the game to the break screen.
