Usage

Add a LiveSplit One source

Click the "add source" button, as usual, and choose LiveSplit One. In the source's properties, you can choose a split file and a layout.

Configure hotkeys

In ObS Studio's Settings menu, under the Hotkeys tab, scroll to the source's name, where you can set hotkeys for the various actions.

Add multiple sources with the same splits

If you add multiple sources that each use the same splits, but different layouts, they all share the same state. This allows for a lot more complex layouts than what is traditionally possible where you could for example show the splits on a completely different part of your stream than the timer itself.
