Firstly, please make sure you have the plugin installed and you are on OBS 29 or newer.

Checking Installed Plugins

  1. Open OBS
  2. Click the Help menu > Log Files > View Current Log
  3. Find a line near the top of this file will be a line that says “Loaded Modules:”. (You may find it easier to click Open file and use Find)
  4. In the lines following “Loaded Modules”, if you do not see vertical-canvasthen the plugin is not installed

Checking your OBS Docks

If you ever accidentally closed a dock, or a plugin/OBS update has hidden them.

  1. At the top of OBS (Windows/Linux) or in the menu bar (macOS), there is a Docks menu.
  2. Please ensure yours shows the last three (Vertical Scenes, Vertical Sources & Vertical) checked.

<aside> 😔 Still can’t see the docks?

Sometimes they’re hidden off screen. The only way to fix this is to reset the docks (via the docks menu).

If this still doesn’t fix your problem, please contact the team.
