So I decided I'd try making my own! As it turns out, in all my research I found you could overlay any rendered HTML source on top of an OBS scene, and from that point it was just a matter of building a JS backend to handle the step progression, and some CSS to make the thing look decent.


Most of the other overlays were a lot more specific to gaming, had few options for customization, or only worked with services other than OBS. There was some plugin that seemed like it fit the bill, but it had been abandoned a while back. I started searching for an OBS plugin I could use to replicate that overlay, but was coming up with nothing. I had seen a similar overlay on NASASpaceflight's livestreams ( example), and liked the simplicity: For a few of my task-oriented livestreams, I wanted to be able to have an easy-to-follow list of tasks present in an OBS scene, with an indication of which task was currently in-progress.
