How To Enable Instant Replays In Streamlabs OBS
The very first step is enabling Instant Replay in your settings, to do this go into your settings, select Output, and select Replay Buffer.
You’ll want to click Enable Replay Buffer if you haven’t already, and then set your maximum replay time. Now your default Replay Time might be different to what I have set, the longer the replay time the more resource-intensive meaning if you make it too long it might cause you to have Lagg and every time you save a replay you’ll also be saving the clip to your PC so it takes up space.

How To Setup Hotkeys In Streamlabs OBS
The first is the trigger that will tell Streamlabs to save the Instant Replay so you can trigger it and react to it, this is called the Save Replay button.
So go to Settings, Go to hotkeys, and find the Save Replay section at the top, I am going to hotkey mine to mouse 4 but I recommend setting a hotkey this to a button you don’t use for anything else AND is close by so you can quickly hit it.
Remember you’re only buffering whatever you set your time at, so for me, I am only buffering 5 seconds, so if you take too long to hit the Save Replay hotkey you might lose the clip you’re trying to save.
Now the next hotkey we want to set up, will be our Show Instant Replay and our hide instant replay.
If you added your source correctly in the previous step, you can go to Settings, then hotkeys, go to the scene you added your replay to, and you’ll want to find Show Instant Replay and Hide Instant Replay.
You’ll hotkey these to a button you don’t use for anything else, for example, numpad subtrack, and when you press that button it will either turn on the source or turn off the source depending on what it was set to.
