Dynamic Delay
A free OBS plugin that turns a stream delay on or off with one key, against stream sniping, without restarting your stream.
Trigglow Dynamic Delay is a free plugin for OBS Studio. It delays what your viewers see, from 5 seconds to over 60 depending on your PC's memory and the quality, and turns the delay on or off with a hotkey without reconnecting to your platform. Your microphone, game audio and alerts stay in sync with the video.
Use it in ranked matches and tournaments so snipers can't follow your screen, then switch it off in the lobby to talk with chat without lag. It keeps the delayed video compressed in RAM, not on your graphics card.
It needs OBS Studio 31.1 or newer. Windows 10 and 11 (x64) get an installer (.exe) and a portable .zip; macOS 12 or later (.pkg) and Linux x86_64 (.deb, .rpm, .pacman and .tar.xz) are in alpha. The Flatpak version of OBS is not supported.
The plugin adds a Trigglow Dynamic Delay dock to OBS, where you set your live scene, a loading scene and the delay in seconds, and three hotkeys: Toggle, Enable and Disable. On Windows, enabling the delay needs a one-time sign-in with a free Trigglow account from the dock. Report a problem in the dock opens a support ticket.
Steps
- 1Open
/dynamic-delayand download the version for your system. - 2Close OBS, run the installer, then open OBS again.
- 3In OBS, open Docks → Trigglow Dynamic Delay and set the live scene, the loading scene and the seconds.
- 4Assign the Toggle, Enable and Disable hotkeys in OBS Settings → Hotkeys.
- 5Sign in from the dock the first time you enable the delay.
Tip
To use it from a Stream Deck, add the Stream Deck's built-in Hotkey action with the same combination you set in OBS. The Trigglow Stream Deck plugin does not control the delay.
Note
If Windows shows “Windows protected your PC”, click More info and then Run anyway.
Note
We recommend at least 4 GB of free RAM for high-quality delays. If the seconds you ask for don't fit, the dock tells you before you enable it.
