Use NextSlide with OBS, vMix, and Wirecast

NextSlide gives every view - the active slide, the next slide, and your notes - its own live link. Drop one into OBS, vMix, or Wirecast as a browser source and your slides appear in the stream and stay in sync on their own - no window capture, no second computer, nothing to install. Two steps and you're done.

What you'll need

A presentation uploaded to NextSlide, and OBS, vMix, or Wirecast on your streaming machine. That's it - your slides live in NextSlide, so there's no PowerPoint and no host computer to keep running alongside your stream. Nothing in NextSlide yet? Get started free →

1. Grab the view link you want

Open your event and find the share menu. Copy the link for the view you want on screen: the active slide, the next slide, or your speaker notes. Each one is a normal web link that always shows the live view - the moment a presenter moves the slides, the link moves with them.

2. Add the link as a browser source

That's the NextSlide side done - the same link works in all three apps. Paste it into your tool's browser source, type in a width and height (1920 x 1080 fits most slides), and your live slide appears as a layer you can position, crop, and switch like any other source:

OBS

Under Sources, click +Browser, name it, and paste the link in the URL field.

vMix

Choose Add Input → Web Browser, paste the link, and set the size.

Wirecast

Add a Web Page source, paste the link, and set its size.

Tips for a clean broadcast

Keep the browser source the same shape as your slides - 1920 x 1080 for standard 16:9 - so nothing gets cropped or squashed. Want your notes or the next slide on another scene or output? Add a second browser source with that view's link. The sync takes care of itself: when a presenter advances, every browser source updates at once, and because NextSlide hosts the presentation, there's no extra computer to babysit next to your stream. Want to watch the sync happen before you go live? Try it on the live demo →
