&layouts
An ordered array of layouts, which can be used to switch between using the API layouts action
Example:
&layouts=[[{"x":0,"y":0,"w":100,"h":100,"slot":0}],[{"x":0,"y":0,"w":100,"h":100,"slot":1}],[{"x":0,"y":0,"w":100,"h":100,"slot":2}],[{"x":0,"y":0,"w":100,"h":100,"slot":3}],[{"x":0,"y":0,"w":50,"h":100,"c":false,"slot":0},{"x":50,"y":0,"w":50,"h":100,"c":false,"slot":1}],[{"x":0,"y":0,"w":100,"h":100,"z":0,"c":false,"slot":1},{"x":70,"y":70,"w":30,"h":30,"z":1,"c":true,"slot":0}],[{"x":0,"y":0,"w":50,"h":50,"c":true,"slot":0},{"x":50,"y":0,"w":50,"h":50,"c":true,"slot":1},{"x":0,"y":50,"w":50,"h":50,"c":true,"slot":2},{"x":50,"y":50,"w":50,"h":50,"c":true,"slot":3}],[{"x":0,"y":16.667,"w":66.667,"h":66.667,"c":true,"slot":0},{"x":66.667,"y":0,"w":33.333,"h":33.333,"c":true,"slot":1},{"x":66.667,"y":33.333,"w":33.333,"h":33.333,"c":true,"slot":2},{"x":66.667,"y":66.667,"w":33.333,"h":33.333,"c":true,"slot":3}]]Value | Description |

[layout1,layout2,...] | (URL-encoded ordered array) |
&layouts=[[{xxxxxx}]] is a URL parameter option, where you can pass a set of different layouts (as a URL-encoded ordered array) to VDO.Ninja.This is akin to using the vdo.ninja/mixer, to visually set layouts, but instead you are just manually setting all the available layouts directly, bypassing the mixer app.
Once you have set the layouts, the "layout" API feature becomes a bit more useful, as you can remotely activate any of those layouts with a simple API command.
I documented the 'layout' API option a bit here, but the tl;dr; is that you can either use this API call to set a layout from within the array of layouts that are set, or you can pass a full-fledge layout-object, for on-the-fly custom layouts.
ie:
{action:'layout',value':5} or {action:'layout',value':[{xxxx.layout-stuff-here.xxxx]]}fyi, the layout and the API in general work with the vdo.ninja/mixer page, so you can use it to create the layouts, and then manually switch between them via the API. The API is streamdeck-friendly.

*If you use the HTTP Get like this, you don't need to add
&layouts to the director's URL.Using these URLs change the layout of your scene in OBS. The URL you should use in OBS is the default one:

Download it and save it as .xlsx - then you can edit it and create custom layouts for the
