What Is a Scene Collection in OBS

Open Broadcaster Software (OBS) is basically a platform where you can use multiple scenes, which includes multiple sources for desktop recording, game streaming, and more. The sources can be anything from text and images to audio, videos, or even a camera input.

To use these sources you need to have scenes. First, you have to create a scene to use sources in it. Now a scene collection is when you have multiple scenes in one OBS profile. You can also delete or rename the scenes in OBS individually or as a collection.

Note:The above-mentioned methods might not work all the time. There must be permission issues with OBS, or it might not detect the scenes properly. In that case, follow the steps mentioned below.

Checking Necessary File Permissions

Deleting Scenes from Files

If you do not have a backup of the scenes, they will be permanently deleted from OBS. Make sure to check recycle bin or if you want to keep a backup, save the scene collection in a separate folder. After deleting all the scenes, you can move those files to the folder again and OBS will automatically add them in.

If the scenes folder or all the files are deleted then any previous scene or scene collection will no longer exist in OBS. But once you open OBS it will start with a default empty scene.
