  • obs-zoom-to-mouse

    An OBS lua script to zoom a display-capture source to focus on the mouse

    With my 49" I use OBS + Mouse follow script + OBS preview window on laptop screen and share my entire laptop screen. That way I know the window size is suitable for others viewing from their laptops and the preview follows my mouse and you can tweak zoom levels and mouse boundaries on the fly. Also with the OBS preview window open on launch, you never have to see/interact with the main OBS window/application again.
