In OBS add your two webcams to your scene that you want to use

How to create the Channel Point Redeem with Conditional Commands

To initiate the process, follow these steps:

1. Click on “Create New Channel Point” in Mixitup.
2. Upon clicking, a new channel point will be generated in your Twitch Dashboard. Head over to Twitch and edit the cost, cooldown, and other settings as needed.
3. In the Action drop-down, select “Conditional,” then click the plus icon to add the condition.
4. For the condition, assign a name of your choice.
5. Choose “AND” as the operator.
6. Set the First Value to $streamcurrentscene and the Second Value to the specific Game Play Scene. Note that the scene name is case-sensitive, so it’s advisable to directly copy and paste it from OBS.

The above steps ensure that Mixitup checks if you are on the correct scene before proceeding with the actions outlined below.

7. In the Action drop-down under Conditional Command, select “Streaming Software” and click the plus icon to add an action.
8. Configure the action as follows:
   • Streaming Software: OBS Studio
   • Action: Source Visibility
   • Scene Name: Enter the name of your scene (e.g., Game Play, where you’ve created your two webcam sources)
   • Source Name: Webcam 1
   • Visibility: Deactivate it
9. Repeat the process for the second webcam:
   • Streaming Software: OBS Studio
   • Action: Source Visibility
   • Scene Name: Enter the name of your scene
   • Source Name: Webcam 2
   • Visibility: Activate it
10. Optional steps to return to the default Webcam 1:
    • In the Action drop-down under Conditional Command, select “Wait” to determine the duration (e.g., 120 seconds).
    • Add actions to deactivate Webcam 2 and activate Webcam 1 using the same steps as above.

Following these detailed steps ensures the creation of a Channel Point Redeem in Mixitup, allowing you to seamlessly switch between different webcam sources and potentially revert to a default setting after a specified duration.
