This wiki page will describe some of the different installation methods available for each OS:

Windows

Installer

Download the advanced-scene-switcher-*-windows-x64-Installer.exe file of the version of the plugin you want to install.

Next open the downloaded installer and click on "More info" and "Run anyway" and follow the installer's instructions.

Once the installation is complete open up OBS and the Advanced Scene Switcher entry should be available in the Tools menu:

Manual install

If you want to manually install the plugin download the advanced-scene-switcher-*-windows-x64.zip archive instead.
Extract the contents of this archive into your OBS installation directory, so that the contents of the data folder will be merged into OBS' data folder and the contents of the obs-plugins folder will be merged into OBS' obs-plugins folder.

MacOS

Installer

It is recommend to download the *.pkg installer file of the desired version of the plugin:

Next you will have to "right-click" on the downloaded *.pkg file and select "Open". Then click "Open" again and click through the installer's instructions.

Once that is complete launch OBS and you should be able to see the Advanced Scene Switcher entry in the "Tools" menu:

On some MacOS versions and depending on its security settings you might also have to explicitly allow the plugin to be loaded:

Manual install (not recommended)

If you want to manually install the plugin you will have to download the advanced-scene-switcher-*-macos-universal.tar.xz archive of the plugin version you want to install.

Now copy the contents of this archive to:

~/Library/Application Support/obs-studio/plugins/advanced-scene-switcher.plugin

Afterwards open up the "Terminal" application and run this command:

codesign --force --deep --sign - ~/Library/Application\ Support/obs-studio/plugins/advanced-scene-switcher.plugin

This will ensure that the plugin files are properly "signed" after they were installed manually. If this step is not performed OBS will fail to launch with an error similar to this one:

Exception Type: EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGKILL - Code Signature Invalid)
Termination Reason: Namespace CODESIGNING, Code 2 Invalid Page

Linux

Prebuilt release binaries

If you are using Ubuntu 24 you can download and install the prebuilt deb package available with each release. So, for example:

advanced-scene-switcher-1.29.3-x86_64-linux-gnu.deb

Prior to version 1.29.0 the release binaries were built for Ubuntu 22 environments.

Flatpak

A Flatpak package is available and can be installed via:

flatpak install com.obsproject.Studio.Plugin.SceneSwitcher

Note that due to the Flatpak sandboxing some functionality might be limited.
