OBS Trigger: Filter Visibility Changed

The Filter Visibility Changed trigger is used to detect when a filter’s visibility has changed. This trigger is very versatile and can be used in a variety of ways depending on how you fill out it’s Trigger Input fields! Below are a few examples of some different approaches.

If all of the Trigger Inputs are left empty or unselected, the Filter Visibility Changed trigger will activate anytime ANY filter in OBS has it’s visibility changed. This includes Scene filters.

Screenshot: This Filter Visibility Changed trigger pictured will activate anytime ANY filter in OBS has it’s visibility changed to either *visible* or *hidden*.

If all fields are left empty but the Visibility field is set to Hidden, the trigger will activate anytime ANY filter in OBS is set to hidden. This includes Scene filters.

Finally, if the Source, Filter, and Visibility fields are filled out, the Filter Visibility Changed trigger will only fire for that specified filter on the specified source when it’s set to the chosen visibility state.
