Gamepad Viewer provides an accessible solution for streamers. Unlike physical hand-cams, which require specific lighting, camera placement, and capture cards, Gamepad Viewer works at the software level. It is OS-agnostic (working on Windows, macOS, and Linux) and can be added to streaming software (OBS Studio) as a "Browser Source," democratizing the ability to show inputs to a global audience.
Gamepad Viewer queries this API typically at the browser’s refresh rate (often 60Hz or higher) to capture the current state of the hardware.
Integrating the viewer into OBS Studio or Streamlabs is a straightforward process: GamePad Viewer - The Official Controller Display & Tester
The functionality of Gamepad Viewer relies on a client-side architecture utilizing modern HTML5 standards.
