It is advisable that you use a password. Once you have set this up, go back to the application and put the password (leave blank if none) in the textbox above the Install OBS Websocket button. You may then click Connect to OBS.

To enable the recording feature, tick the corresponding checkbox and it will automatically work.

Notes

• Repeatedly Restarting Mission may cause overlap on recordings.
• Please report any issues to Xero, but keep in mind that this is very early in progress.
