How-To Install OBS Embedded Stream Markers Extension

In Streamer.bot click the Import button in the top menu. Drag the downloaded .sb file into the Import String field and click Import . You will see 9 Actions

Importing OBS Embedded Markers into Streamer.bot

You will notice there are no commands imported, only "Test" triggers. This was intentional. I recommend setting the actions to either StreamDeck buttons and/or hotkeys within Streamer.bot for maximum flexibility

  • Once imported, you have to update all of the Actions that you intend on using (feel free to delete any that you don't need)

Create a Text File to Store OBS Embedded Markers

I named mine "OBS Stream Markers", but you can pick whatever name you'd like. The most important thing here is to remember where you save it because we have to go through EVERY marker action that we want to keep and change it to match your newly created .txt file.

Verify Embedded Markers Appear in Text File

Once you've updated all of the text file links, you're ready to start recording. After you begin recording, your text file will look something like the one below.

The game title relies on your currently set category for Twitch. If you're playing Fortnite, but your category is set to Wobbly Life, then your text file will show Wobbly Life on the timestamps
