Add, remove, or adjust stream delay while already live
Streamers shouldn’t have to restart their stream just to change delay. InstantDelay lets OBS & Streamlabs streamers: Add, Remove, or Adjust stream delay while already live. Built for competitive streamers, tournaments, subathons, and multi-streaming, with Instant Mode, Overlay Mode, custom overlays, hotkeys, and Stream Deck support.
I’m Lyp, a streamer and creator, and I built InstantDelay because fixed stream delay is still one of the most frustrating parts of streaming competitive games.
Delay is useful when you need protection against stream sniping, ghosting, or unfair information sharing. But the second you want to talk with chat, take a break, review a game, or switch to a more interactive segment, that same delay becomes a problem.
Until now, streamers usually had to choose before going live:
1. Use delay for the whole stream and lose real-time interaction. 2. Stream with no delay and accept the risk. 3. Restart the stream or use complicated workarounds.
InstantDelay makes delay flexible.
It works as a desktop app and RTMP bridge between OBS / Streamlabs and your streaming platform, so you can add, remove, or adjust delay while you are already live.
There are two main modes:
Instant Mode: Change delay immediately.
Overlay Mode: Show viewers a custom overlay while the delay switches, so the transition feels clean and understandable.
It also supports multi-stream workflows, custom OBS overlays, Stream Deck actions, and hotkeys.
InstantDelay is already used by thousands of streamers, from competitive players to casters, tournament organizers, and larger creators.
The goal is simple: give streamers more control without restarting OBS, ending the stream, or making the setup complicated.
There is a 30-day free trial, and I’d love feedback from streamers, casters, tournament organizers, and anyone doing live production.
