Set up a one-button BRB (with mic mute and music duck)
January 13, 2026 · 4 min read
The 'be right back' dance — switch to the BRB scene, mute your mic, turn down the music, maybe start a timer — is four actions you fumble on camera. It should be one button.
Why bundle it
Doing each step manually while your audience watches looks clumsy and is easy to get wrong (muted mic left on when you come back is a classic). A show-flow key fires the whole sequence at once, and 'Back' reverses it just as cleanly.
Building your BRB key
StreamPad's BRB key switches to your break scene, mutes your mic, ducks your music apps to a low level, and starts an on-screen countdown your viewers can see. Pressing 'Back' restores your game scene, unmutes, and brings the music back to its exact previous level.
The first time you press it, you pick which of your scenes is 'BRB' and 'Main' — so it works with your layout, whatever you call your scenes.
