StreamHush for OBS

Automatically mute copyrighted music in OBS

OBS gives you the mixer, the hotkeys and source separation — but every one of those still needs you to react, live, faster than a fingerprint matcher. StreamHush connects to OBS over WebSocket and does the reacting for you: it recognizes copyrighted music and mutes the source in about two seconds, then un-mutes when the track ends.

Manual OBS muting always has a gap

The mixer click and the mute hotkey both depend on you noticing the song and acting — typically 15–60 seconds of copyrighted audio already broadcast. Source separation lets you mute music without killing game audio, but it doesn't make the muting automatic.

How StreamHush plugs into OBS

You paste your OBS WebSocket password and pick your music source once. StreamHush then watches your audio, and when it recognizes a copyrighted track it mutes that exact source — leaving your mic, game and everything else playing. A full log shows every track it caught.

Why StreamHush fits OBS

  • Connects to OBS in two minutes — no streaming expertise needed.
  • Mutes only the source you choose; your microphone is never touched.
  • Mute fully or just duck the volume so you can keep talking over it.
  • Fail-safe: a network or API hiccup can never take your stream offline.
