How to determine if websockets support has been compiled in

[asavage]

I'm attempting to use a utility, obs-cmd, to map certain keys to events or actions. However, it's not working (bug report for the utility), and another user that was having the same issue found that his package didn't have websockets support compiled in:

Found the problem. obs-studio (30.2.1-1) on Arch Linux isn't build with obs-websocket. I had to manually compile obs, to use the websocket feature. After I launched the manually compiled obs (and configure the websocket server)

I'm on Ubuntu 22.04, Wayland, OBS 30.2.3 (64 bit), installed via PPA. How can I determine if my package has websockets support?

can be enabled in OBS by going to Tools > WebSocket Server Settings and selecting Enable WebSocket server.

if it is not there, you have to try flatpak OBS. i do not know why some distros do not compile it in since OBS does not have global hotkeys on wayland
