- 'Move' and 'Advanced Scene Switcher' together to automatically move my webcam source when specific game scenes are active, so my webcam goes to a preselected place all on its own and I don't have to move it manually.
- 'Move' and 'OBS Face Tracker' together to make your webcam feel alive only when you want it to.
