LAPLACE Chat

The LAPLACE Chat dashboard integrates with OBS, so you can drive the basics of OBS right from the dashboard: manage streaming, switch scenes, and edit scenes. It also ties into this site's scene tagging feature

This feature shipped on Mar 30, 2025

Usage

• In the OBS menu, choose "Tools - WebSocket Server Settings"
• Select "Enable WebSocket server"
• Keep the default server port, or change it to another port
• Enter a server password by hand, or click "Generate Password" to create one automatically; you can also leave it empty (see "Security" below)
• Click "Apply"
• Click "Show Connect Info" and note the port (usually 4455) and the password
• Open the LAPLACE Chat dashboard, enter the matching connection details in the sidebar settings, and click "Connect"

Security

• The OBS integration in LAPLACE Chat runs entirely in your local browser; this site never uploads any OBS-related data
• If your OBS sits on an external network, or could end up exposed to the public internet, setting a server password is strongly recommended. If you are certain your OBS cannot be reached from outside, leaving it empty is fine
• Because of HTTPS security rules, the LAPLACE Chat dashboard can only integrate with an OBS instance on the same machine, meaning your OBS must be reachable over localhost or 127.0.0.1
• If the OBS instance and LAPLACE Chat are on different machines and you still want the integration, you first have to wrap the OBS WebSocket as wss:// through a third-party tunneling service such as ngrok. Always set a server password when you do
