OBS Studio 129 - Take ULTIMATE CONTROL with Hotkeys - OBS Hotkeys Guide - Hotkeys Tutorial

EposVox, the hotkeys I apply only work when OBS is in the foreground (That is, when OBS is in focus). *I run OBS as an administrator*. Yet it does not work, while I am in game and OBS is not in the foreground. Is there any other solution to this?

what does the "quick transition: cut" hotkey do.

I've experienced a couple of annoying issues with hot keys.
1) They are global. That is even if OBS is in the background it takes the hot key. If you are doing something else on the machine and press that hot key you may not realize what you just did to OBS. Solution (not covered in this video) appears to be assign keys you'll never use. Which takes the convenience out of using the keyboard in the first place. Maybe a MIDI keyboard controller is the real answer here. Why a OBS developer has not made anything turnkey for this, I don't know.
2) The cut key seems to rarely work. It may have to do with something above or the key I assigned it. But it's annoying when cut does not work. I'd sure like OBS to work more like a real production switcher rather then this gamer oriented thing. My $0.02.

m hotkeys dont work it did one time though but i wanted tocheck if it's working or not

Hey. I've been using hotkeys like CTRL + SHIFT + B for some overlays (alpha transparant rendered MOV videos that I made in After Effects) and this works great! Though somebody sent me a PrehKeyTec (MCI 128) keyboard which has 128 buttons (like that Elgato keypad thing you show here - although these are used for cashregisters and such, but that shouldn't matter). I have programmed one key to do a "CTRL + SHIFT + B" when I press it. It works! Though, I have been messing with this for hours: When the OBS window is off-focus (during a game or just having another window selected/focussed) the CTRL + SHIFT + B on the real keyboard still works (Hotkeys are set to work even when OBS is not on focus), but when I press a key on the PrehKeyTec keyboard, it doesn't happen. I can't get why this is.

Is it possible to add scenes to voicemeeter macro buttons? I cannot seem to make it work.

How do I use hotkeys in obs while its minimized
