Thanks @stuck hamlet !!! Yo Rock!
@upbeat tree 80% cpu usage is high, if thats without a browser source to begin with.
You're dropping fps because your cpu can't handle it
My cpu can handle it. My game isn't just the obs capture. I've steamed without SE and my cpu at 100% and the capture wasn't lagging
Your cpu should never be at 100% while streaming.
Well it has in the past. And there was no lag
Okay but adding anything else to your obs while hitting those percentages will cause issues, aka frame drops
What graphics card do you have
That's why nothing was added at 100% and there was no lag. But cpu at 80% with SE wouldnt be lagging like it is
That's debatable
Graphics card shouldn't matter. But I have a Nvidia 650TI boost
Well i was going to suggest you could try GPU encoding(NVENC) but you can't with that card
GPU encoding would reduce your cpu load
but Its only working on 9xx series and above
But the point is, 2 or 3 weeks ago I was also using SE and there was not this much FPS drop on capture
Your cpu usage is probably fluctuating which is what causes the fps drops. Did you add anything else to your overlay between the time? There could be a bunch of variables
When you're not in a demanding game your cpu can handle the overlay fine, but once you add a game into the mix, its spiking.
Your cpu is 6 years old now. I don't know the rest of your setup, you could always try to refresh your system and see if that helps but I can't garauntee that would change anything.
I added a recent bit cheer. And it lagged. But the CPU was at 80% before and after that. And I switched to a super theme and I'm getting the same amount of lag
Have you tried just creating a blank overlay with say, one widget on it - does it have the same problems? Theres not much I can honestly do. If your computer is struggling how are we to blame
Refresh my system?
And I know my system is old. I need to get it updated. But when you have full time college classes and a job you can only go to once a week it's hard
My computer wasn't struggling 2 weeks ago
Refresh such as reformat, or if you're on win8+ theres an option to "refresh" your system which does the same thing as reformatting - aka wiping and starting with a clean install
I just did that at the start of summer
I do it about once a year depending on if it's needed
Do you run AV software or anything
AV softwar? You mean anti virus?
yes
I want to help, it's just a tough situation where we don't know how much cpu usage is added with the overlay on a system by system basis
No. I shouldn't have a virus. Considering I don't download from sketchy websites
Can you do me a favor
With no stream my cpu is at maybe 10. Game loaded or goes to 50-60% obs open not streaming 70% then when streaming 80% (with overlay)
Depends.
Open obs and go to settings, screenshot your Output, video and advanced tabs
Well like I said depends. My pc is off now. I posted that like 2 hours ago
Eye- eye- cap'n but I checked and double checked my output. And I've had Reddit check it in the past. Should be fine
shrugs cant hurt anything. Ive watched your vods and it looks alright. I understand your frustration i'm just not sure of a way to solve it, if there is a way
your stream does look smooth minus the overlay. It could have been the scrolling text causing it, though.
Animations cause more issues than static stuff
Creepy vod lurking
Well. Its a way to try and help
hey dudes, seems like you're troubleshooting OBS usage issues. Mine takes up like 30% - 40% halp!
I mean, generally obs support is on their forums. what are your pc specs @terse canyon
yeh I know, but response is typically a few days and I have time now.
FX 6300, 12GB ram, GTX 960
Anyways I'm going to sleep. I'll DM the picture tomorrow
ok. night @upbeat tree
nite @upbeat tree 
@terse canyon Screenshot your video, output and advanced tabs for me
AMD there is your problem. 
@livid zinc usually i say that
I meann It looks fine to me, high cpu usage isnt a terrible thing unless you start getting obs saying high encoding in red text
You could try using NVENC encoding to use your gpu instead of your cpu.
already doing that
ayup
and it won't give the red text until the game figures out what's up ... if it does at all, at which point the game will throttle down and the text goes away
it's like my system's forcing itself to overuse then overcompensate
Are you running minecraft in 20 fps?
kinda bottlenecking itself it seems
Can you export your current profile & scene collection and then start a new profile
How many scenes/sources do you have generally
playing my same custom modpack, or any game with the same settings for that matter, is not giving reliably reproducable results
and do you have your browser sources set to shutdown while inactive?
performace doesn't matter from 1 scene to like 8
yup
number of browser sources did not affect obs
You're running 64 bit obs right
can you send me your log file from that stream
where would I get that? never done that b4
Help-> log files -> Show log files
find the one dated from that stream
upload here or dm me idc
(idk if you can upload in the chat but yolo)
latest stream
wait wot? O.o
1 se
sec
WHY IS AERO ENABLED
that always gave me issues b4
Its auto enabled on win 10
UGH
also
i hate win 10 even more now
Change your downscale filterr under video
to BIlinear
bicubic causes issues
promise
I don't downscale.
tried both of thsoe, no difference
i mean, i'll change it ... but yeh
You could update your obs to the current version
You know about the twitch inspector right?
the auto configure thing?
nah
https://inspector.twitch.tv/ analyzes your stream
You can also run a test stream without anyone watching
add ?bandwidthtest=true to the end of your stream key
and go live
No one will see you live, but it will stream to their test servers
helps when ironing our issues
The inspector gives you data about your stream and helps diagnose problems too
okay, done
Output tab
Go to the top and hit advanced
Set your bitrate between 2500-4k
Framerate 30
Keyframe Interval 2
Profile: Main
Level: 3.1
Taken from: https://stream.twitch.tv/ btw
what's level do?
imma uncheck two-pass encoding. seems like a waste of resources given my situation
Set level to Auto
Why onslut
how so?
Well not literally, but might stop you from streaming.
where did you see that
Jim said you shouldn't be touching level, and just keep it auto
fuck jim
Jim
thought you said 3.1 XD
thats scary
wasn't that bad either
https://stream.twitch.tv/ If you scroll down on here it gives you guidelines
Aka the settings i gave you a few moments ago
Yeah change your stream key to add ?bandwidthtest=true at the end and start streaming
see what your cpu is like now
etc
On obs or on your pc overall
I cant see your inspector stuff, only you can
Try turning off advanced for your output
wait, it's only saying max of 20% cpu now
While you're streaming?
What else is running
nothing I normally didn't b4
pretzel, twitch app, display fusion, discord, steam, spotify, greenshot, few chrome tabs doing near nothing, borderless gaming, and basic driver/utility stuff
I can't even stream CS:GO anymore ... that's a solid reference point.
i've deleted all of the overlays except for oen which has no pictures or text or antyhing but that for cheer/tip/etc
Sounds weird and im not sure what to sugggest
I would just try and keep an eye on background processes in task manager
testing csgo at lowest settings at 900p now
Anything using high cpu shouldnt be running while streaming generally
yup yup
move away from amd at some point ๐
but intel is 
15 fps at all lowest 900p settings
you could try swapping back to the x264 encoder, i doubt you'd see better results though
Yeah but a hard freeze when using x264 encoding doesnt sound normal
none of this is normal, that's what i'm trying to figure out hte cause
this win installation isn't even 3 months old
Does your pc ever freeze doing anything else
I would download something to monitor your temps, also run a memtest
also, i don't have any of these issues when just recording 1080p30
But you cant stream 1080p30
Recording and streaming isn't the same thing
agreed, yet i'm doing what's the more powerful of the two without issues
WOW, cpu at < 10% now
umm, didn't change anything from the time it crashed 'cept game settings ... nothing extreme tho
can we do voice so I can talk while I do more tests?
That's if cuda can. I am currently at work.
kk
even if yall type i can talk and read too.
thanks again for everything thus far tho โค
I mean. I could but i'm not sure what we're going to figure out. I have a feeling its a temperature issue limiting you
And how many sticks of ram are you running total
Interesting choice there but im not sure if that contributes to the issue
wasn't by choice, was by time and wallet
gonna test on my channel in a sec. thx ๐
hey, can you check my stream now? CPU is at mid 50s yet matchmaking in unreal tournament is at 14fps
like, obs is there. the game is fine
Dunno what to suggest. Download a program like Msi afterburner or EVGA Precision and change your power level on your gpu and set your fan control
Upgrade 
-_-
that hurts.
i know you're trying to help, but I obv can't do that if i'm going trhough this level of work to fix it.
I was in somebodies channel and their bot was spamming messages every 5 minutes or so... how do I set that up? I looked through the custom commands but did not see that option.
Doh, totally missed that, thanks again!
But do you really want the bot spamming every 5 minutes? 
Nope, Ill have a bigger delay

I have a problem with scene transitions and using the animated overlay. Can anyone help?
Sup?
I'm guessing this has to do with it taking a while to load up, this is due to having "shutdown source when not active", the work around is to activate studio mode, let the scene load and then transition.
And then turning studio mode off.
You are amazing. Thanks!!!
No problem ๐
heya was curious to know if anyone can tell me why my alert sounds double up please
ok ill try that thanks
Why does slots lose 100 percent of the time?
so how come song request isn't working by song name search? Is it always like this because nightbot has it setup for title search as well http://prntscr.com/g8actt
@marble mauve It's not exactly clear from the module but here is how the slot machine works:
The slider increases the payout if you manage to win
Less than 100 on the slider means people will not win money over time using the slot machine. 80-100 is a good range
less emotes = higher win chance
its like 5 emotes = 3%, 4 emotes = 7%, 3 = 12%
actual formula : n / n^3
n = number of emotes
that seemed to have worked thanks @clever mango โค
@keen helm The reason for this is that youtube currently has a limit on the amount of API requests that we can make. Searching with !sr requires a much higher number of API requests so we have disabled it for the time being until youtube increases the limit. It will be available in the future
so that's with title searching @clever mango
Correct
With a higher limit we should also be able to display the current playing song from the backup playlist, not just the songs from the song request queue
So how come nightbot runs it fine is what im getting at
When using the api endpoint PUT /points/:username/:amount ... is it possible to use "all" as username to add/remove points from all viewers in chat?
Because nightbot has a different limit
See my post a few messages up
@thorny torrent The default command !addpoints with alias !editpoints can use all for all viewers in chat
@clever mango thank you, but i know that you can use this in chat. But the question is, can i use this in the api request too?
Oh, that's not something I'm familar with... let me check
@thorny torrent The api currently doesn't support all. But we have a bulk api.
PUT https://api.streamelements.com/kappa/v1/points
body: {
mode : set/add
users: [{
username: String,
current: Int
}]
}
Hey is there any way to change the bots name to something else?
No, it could be a feature in the future though
Sorry, I don't know that it would be premium
lol
But it's not currently a feature
hmm
for current song, could you add feature to show the song name that is playing from backup playlist?
@devout wolf I believe this is limited right now due to the api but will be fixed when we get youtube onboard with us and raise our limit
I see thank you
any reasno why half my alerts dont have gifs attached to them now and wont let me readd them?
@strong dock When did you last edit the overlay/what browser?
Let me see if there was any updates made between then
Hmm did the alert show and not the image?
so my two followers didnt trigger alert
text chat did
but not obs alert
when i went to check overlay it wont let me see what gif is attached to those alerts but when i do test alert it worked
Are you streaming right now?
does your test alert play in your OBS preview?
ya
also does my stream elements have to be on Song Request page to play music all the time?
Are we certain they weren't refollows?
@tight harness Chat alert proced but the overlay alert did not apparently
@strong dock Yes, or Ground Control app
Ahh yeah
also peoples this doesnt take 4 people to answer lol it will just get the person confused on who to answer 
@strong dock See if in your dashboard you can resend the follower alert and see if it pops on obs properly
Also make sure to CTRL+F5 your overlay editor
resending via dashboard worked
Alright i'm going to send you a follow and see if it plays properly in OBS
lol but follower goal went from 2/20 to now 46/20 
You can change that via the edit sessions page by going to Activity Feed
ty derpy
Np
lol ust realized only 2 timer commands are working too RIP haha
@strong dock Can you screenshot your timer page for me?
You might have the chatlines set too high for the other timers to activate @strong dock
If you'd like just wait until you're done streaming
Yeah so your first two are activating but the others arent right?
yep
Yeah you just dont have enough chat activity to hit the other ones
does it stair step after each event in order?
or it has to meet all the requirments and resets once one of them are hit
Once the requirements are met it sends the timer however if the requirements are not met again after the time has elapsed it wont show
So i believe like
Chat activity hits 50 lines; It starts the timers for anything below 50 lines and after the elapsed time the message is sent
and then it resets
I'm having tons of trouble getting things setup and ported to be able to use Streamelements exclusively (as opposed to nightbot + streamlabs)
I may just be dumb and been looking at it too long to figure everything out
Well let us know what issues you're running into :D
but its buggy as all heck
What browser are you using?
chrome
the bit donations
Are you running into issues with commands? timers? overlays
Alright, and what seems to be the issue with the bit donations?
they just show up as 0
and another small suggestion - when you test...they should reset to what they were before.
because Bob Ross didnt give me 100 bits lol
yes but they stay on my overlay
If you refresh that would disappear, it's just to demonstrate all aspects of the overlay
if they "stay" greyed out, its to show you where it would line up
oh ok sorry ive been wokring on this for hours so im getting frustrated a little and maybe not thinking logically
Test: https://www.onslaught.ca/s/yc0cg36v.png
Showing you where it lands, not actually visible on the overlay: https://www.onslaught.ca/s/rhrap7oq.png
is there anywhere I can set bits (like i can set recent donation or top donation)
to be a specific amount/person
No
ah ok
I imported my alertbox from Streamlabs
but it's in a separate overlay
is there a way to integrate it in the same overlay?
Unfortunately not, you'd have to build off the StreamLabs import, or use that overlay just for alerts
we are working for integrations/alert boxes on there own
and the double audio I'm getting when I test is because the SE editor is open at the same time as OBS and not because it's going to go double, right?
@solar salmon Correct
ok good thank you - sorry for the dumb questions I'm trying to wrap my head around this change haha
Make sure you set your browser sources to "disable when not in use" @solar salmon
You must not forget to check "Shutdown source when not active" on the BrowserSource of OBS
What difference does that make? Out of curiosity?
When its left unchecked all your notifications will go through EACH scene
so you will experience multiple sounds
and if you have a lot of elements in your overlays (animations/kappagen) then it's an extra draw on CPU usage
okay thanks
I messed up some things while moving things and now the alignment is wrong. Wish there was an undo!
But thank you guys
Yeah so do we
you can use the arrow keys to make minor adjustments
i would like to make a sub goal txt, but the its shows 15 subs, but i have 18 now
its not small things...it's now cutting off parts of my alerts in obs
Shift + Arrows to do more heavy adjusments
how could i fix this fast?
Make sure you have the right resolution @solar salmon
Default is 1920x1080
So make sure your browser source is set to that, or to whatever you set it to
? ;P
Activity Feed > Edit Session @lament blade
ty
I have also a weird kinda bug, all my alerts is with the setting ''bounce'', i dont like the bounce and set it to ''none'' but the effect always returns
so i have always bounce
could i fix this?
@lament blade What browser?
chrome
@lament blade When was the last time you cleared your cache?
hey all. I've been having issues with some of my alerts using the overlay editor. Seems like the alert sounds will play in the editor all the time, but through OBS only .ogg files work
@robust hull Are you using Studio?
yes
its any mp3 file
yes, can you give it to me?
sure
Which component do you need to add to your overlay manager to get Store-purchased Sound-effects to play ? The Alert Box doesn't seem to have it included + I don't see anything named like "Sound Effects" - there is one called "Store redemptions" or similar but I really only want the sound effects
@quasi portal Store Redemption widget :D
Oh! That doesn't pop up text and stuff too?
It does but iirc you can leave those blank
Ahhh very nice! Thanks @edgy kindle ๐
sound effects only play a sound, so you are good
But I'd have other items in the shop also, I hope that won't collide with the Alert Box, guess I could just turn it off there ?
whats command for me to give everyone points?
streaming and dont wanna go searching for it
!addpoints all <#>
@edgy kindle just installed windows yesterdag ๐ฆ
@quasi portal if you want a Stream Perk to show up on stream, you can click the check box when editting/creating the item to have it show up. If you don't check that box, it won't pop an alert. Plus you can layer them so that the regular alert box is always on top if you want
Thanks @weary mist , will give it a shot ๐
So there is an option to use your playlist as backup when you run out of song requests... why is it that it will only play my first song and that is it?
do you have the video collapsed?
@thick eagle need to have the video visible when the page loads, then you can hide the video. Its a weird thing with the youtube player
also o/ โค @thick eagle
What do you mean? Lol (extra blonde today) and Hey โค
are you using ground control or the song request page in the dashboard?
queue list is separate from the backup playlist.
queue is only populated by requests
it should
hehe ok
Seems to now, yes. Perfect! You guys rock! โค
I'll probably forget this come stream time... but that's besides the point :p
we'll be here come stream time to remind you if needed ๐
@frosty zealot I was just about to type that exact same thing 
Lol that's why I love this place! ๐

Is there eventually going to be a fix for that issue? So the video doesn't have to be shown for it to auto-play?
@thick eagle talk to youtube, it is their player that is silly like that
Ahh.. well.. i'm just a little "guy".. they won't care ๐
but I will drop in later and let you ask me the question again because you forgot 
Lol smartass ๐
Oh right, my bad ๐
We have video tutorials on our youtube channel @crimson gull https://youtu.be/UuweQah3v00
Setting up StreamElements is easy, learn how to in this video, hosted by Twitch Partner GIRLvsDUMB - Got any questions, or just want to say "Hey"? Join our D...
I am sure someone does, ask your questions, and you should hear answers come back from the support canyon
that too
@pine hemlock I don't want every feature, I am specifically looking for Twitter and Patreon alerts and on screen names
The alert box widget on the overlay manager is used for follow/subs/bits/hosts. Don't think we currently have support for a twitter or patreon alert.
Dang it, I was told u have... Any plans to add?
we have chat alerts for twitter
as for patreon, I believe its being looked at to get that
is there a way i can set host alerts to only be for manual hosts and not auto hosts?
Twitch recently changes the api to now give alerts for both. Being able to distinguish between them might be possible, could be a good #๐ญ๏ธฑfeedback-and-ideas
I have been using Ankhbot for my stream for over a year now and i have recently switched everything to Stream elements except the bot. Is there a way to track a viewer/followers Hours watched in stream? and is there a way to add custom ranks like a leveling/ranking up system like Ankhbot? Thanks
the hours watched in stream is auto tracked, but at this time, there is no way to pull the hours stored from ankhbot into SE
as for a rank/level up system, that is not currently available, but been requested quite a bit. I will push for it as soon as we get moderator dashboard and youtube integration done ๐
by me pushing for it, I will badger the hell out of the devs till they can't stand me anymore
haha
Yes, very much so. If you can get a CSV exported, and set it up like so: username,points
I will grab the link that you can use to import it
Nice! Thank you! You have been very helpful ๐
you can put your JWT token into that site and have it import directly as well
(user profile)
let me know if you have questions. I might not answer for the next 30 ish minutes, though someone else with a blue shirt on will
Ok! Thanks again
Hi all. Brand new to using Stream Elements. I plan to take my time learning about all the options available. However, I would like to have the loyalty (!points) system going right away. What is the minimum I need to do to make sure that is active during streams? Thanks for your time.
@DaxRated#8159 You simply need to enable it.
In your Dashboard head over to the Loyalty Settings and click the toggle to make sure its on @DaxRated#8159
Okay awesome! So activating the chatbot and overlays and everything can wait? I guess I need to at least click the join channel button for Stream Elements. Does the bot need to be a mod to track points? Apologies for the noobness. >.>
You will need to enable the bot in your chat so the chat can use commands
Not to track points. It will track even if you part the bot because they're seperate features however We advise you to mod the bot so it does not get banned/timed out
Awesome. Thanks so much for the help!
No problem
Question - is there any way to have different alerts play for each item type? (different sound/gif? for each item in my stream store)?
@weary mist ^
@dry wagon You can simply remove the email
@solar salmon yes, set items with different sound and images, put store redemption widget on overlay. Profit
@edgy kindle
you can't remove the email once it is in, but you can turn off the !tip command
Oh you cant?
@dry wagon can I ask the reason you don't want a tip page?
@weary mist so if I have these set up, they will make the right one for each redemption?
I use streamlabs because I am not a fan of stream elements tip page
@solar salmon for sure, try them out yourself ๐
Do I have to disable the "default" one in the widget itself?
@dry wagon what don't you like about it?
Because I just use stream elements for currency. I am just used to streamlabs
I can understand that. Did you know if you use SE, the bot will reward people with loyalty points automatically with a tip?
so people could "buy" loyalty points
IT WORKED! THANKS @weary mist ๐
Ok, I just need to know how to turn them off. I have nothing against stream elements and I really enjoy it but I have been streaming a while with streamlabs
I don't want to sound offensive
@dry wagon and all I am doing ot gathering information so we can improve our service. I can understand using SL because you have for a long time, but sometimes trying out new things can actually be better for your stream, which is what we are shooting for. We provide several things to make tipping easier on the viewer, and to increase your income from tips. We are a young company, if we don't ask these questions, how are we going to learn? plus, it is super easy to port everything from SL, so setup is barely minutes in lenth
Plus, I have already given you all the info you have asked for that we can give you
But how do I get rid of the email it will not let me save w/o an email
@dry wagon You could just simply leave it and not advertise the tipping page
@dry wagon
Trying to change the item redemptions animation and it's not saving the gif I put to replace it from the cloud. Thoughts?
Are you using Chrome?
Firefox. I've not had any trouble with any of the other notifications except this one. It even changed the sounds for it, but not the gif.
When someone subscribes or hosts the channel I do not see them given loyalty points, even though it is setup to give loyalty points for such actions.
@magic imp Could you try with Chrome? We are built to work better on that browser.
@mortal pollen for subs, please try logging out and back into StreamElements. for hosts, i believe we reported that bug not too long ago, and are looking into a fix
Sigh... I try to avoid google stuff wherever possible. Firefox at least tries to protect my metadata.
Okay, ty @stuck hamlet
indeed thank you Onslaught
Np! ๐
I need some help! I am trying to upload my subscribe gif but for some reason the same dancing shark is displaying instead of my gif
the sound carried over just fine but the gif wont upload at all
doesnt matter what gif file I use wont update
what browser are you using?
Strange
@stuck hamlet This seems to be like the issue with the variations again
@drifting blade On your subscriber alert settings under "Variations" delete the default one
I think I am going blind in my old age, where would i find the bit cup for overlays please?
@blazing briar This has been temporarily disabled until the new one is finished
ahh thank you very much @edgy kindle
I would love to be able to tell you more than *Soon* but there is no definite time frame except for hopefully this month
@edgy kindle Is there a way to import images from other theme overlays into an active editor?
@drifting blade Sadly not; You would have to save the images and then upload them to the new one
got it
So I cannot download the images from a theme?
what about an undo option?
No undo sadly
@drifting blade Like I said; right-click, save, and then reupload the images you want
@edgy kindle is there a way to share a streamelement page with another person for example one of my artists so they are able to hop onto my account and upload/mess around with overlays?
do I give them my auth token?
Giving access to other users is being worked on.
For now, if you really want someone to manage your account you'd have to trust them with your twitch password, which we don't recommend but.. at your own risk
Exactly what cuda says. They could always mess around with their own page and then send you the final pieces
Question: Can I import a playlist from youtube in the music section?
You can use a backup playlist @simple fractal
Ty
has anyone else been having an issue where the backup playlist will only have one song playing and can't provide any songs?
I see, I'll try that
It cannot provide the song, do to Youtube limit, and you must have the player showing for the first song @copper anvil
hallo is it possible to make a command that removes all points (from the loyalty system) from all users? Or just a specific user? And if it is, how do I do it?
nvm I think I found out how to do it
nvm I didn't
!addpoints user -amount
ah thanks
hi there, trying to switch over to Stream Elements - I can't make the subscriber alert image change... all the other alerts have worked fine.. any ideas?
Can you remove the image? @smoky fractal
@stuck hamlet in the side panel I can both change and remove the image, but when I test the alert I still get the dancing shark
ah HA! Yes! thansk SO much ๐ โค

Issue with the Current Song widget. When pulling the current track from dubtrack.fm it doesn't properly show special characters. Example: https://i.imgur.com/gdXSveh.png
how can i make the module ${random.emote} only produce random twitch emotes? no bttv or other emotes
Hi ! , why i give me 1000 points to test, then i write !points and i have 0 points?
someone can help me?
miklor10
but i give on the page the points
1000+1200=2200
you can, from here - https://streamelements.com/dashboard/leaderboard/current
well i will did it from the chat, thanks !
np
you are adding points to miklor, not to miklor10

its all good ๐
Love me some Ground Control, however, Ive noticed that if you set bindings to skip/pause/start in GC's settings, those buttons no longer work anywhere else!
(i.e. I set the F8 key to one of those, and now in a game, the F8 key does not work. Once unbound in GC, it works in game again.)
I have a question! ๐ Is it possible to make sound effects just for subscriptors? Or have ranks?
does F8 have an in-game action @smoky tide ?
yes, in ATS, it switches a screen to look at more info
@whole vector Not currently although I believe it has been requested, check here: https://strms.net/features if it isn't requested then consider requesting it yourself ๐ if it is requested then simply upvote it
Thanks a lot Legendary!!
No problem 
@smoky tide the game might not be seeing the input after the rebind. can you check in-game keybinds? Also can I ask why you want to use a key that has an in-game function as a hotkey for music control?
of course I could change it in game I guess, but F8 on my keyboard is also "Play/Pause" for media. I was hoping for more of a GC bind that still passes the keypress through but still triggers the func within the GC app.
I'll add it to the bug reports
rock on! thanks @pine hemlock
as a workaround, would something like fn+F8 work as a keybind, or some other modifier key? that shouldn't affect standard game keybinds.
probably as a work around for now yeah, might work
Anyway I can put default commands into custom commands? I.E. have "!addpoints ${user1} 50 !addpoints ${user2} -50" in a command
Sub count is still buggy. Is there a way to implement it for good? I wan't to show my current subscriber count and it only shows the recent. Like from stream to stream
I can use other apps, but i don't want to run multiple apps. Only Streamelements.
https://streamelements.com/dashboard/session if you change the subscriber count to your current total and don't reset the session then it should stay accurate. This won't track any unsubs though. The counter only goes up. I think it will catch resubs though which might be your issue
@hazy thistle we'll be working to get a selector where you can choose to show the current number of subs or just new ones or just resubs, hang tight alrighty?
This is probably a very silly question but... I don't hear my follower notifications go off on stream, they seem fine when I hit emulate but I never hear them. Is there a good way for me to know in real time when someone follows etc so I can respond?
do you have your audio turned up for OBS?
and you can hear any other sounds from your PC? (sorry, don't know your set up)
Yep, I hear game audio, music, etc just fine. I will SEE the follower notifications on stream if i look at it, but I never hear the audio queue
I'm sort of savvy... but feeling kind of dense not being able to figure this one out lol
what's your alert sound volume set to?
50%, maybe i'll crank it up it could be that I'm just not hearing it over game audio because its fainter htan I think
while you're in the browser, test the alert and see if you can hear it in browser using the event emulator at the bottom.
Yep, loud and clear
alright, right click the tab and mute that tab, then open OBS and see if you can hear it still when you emulate.
muted tab is playing sound? or obs is playing it
but not without obs on, okay im not sure wahts going on
its fixed I think.. you the real MVP
yeah obs was playing sound
ok, so the OBS source is playing it, not the tab.
you may just be drowning it out with game audio. which means also that your viewers aren't hearing the alerts most likely.
yep I think that nails it, i'll take the volume to 100% and maybe download a longer sound to play than the standard coin collect chirp
Is there an issue with giveaways? I had one running but no one can enter it, plus the image on the overlay stays constant on screen does not go after suggest seconds
@CallmeMissK#4902 I was able to purchase a ticket once I gave myself enough points to purchase one
Thanks I just had to reset the giveaway and refund everyone thanks for looking into it
Thank you @proud pumice
anyone here who's rom the SE team?
Or anyone who can help... cause I'm trying to choose a font for my overlay..
but most of the fonts are the god damn same.
@clever leaf can you make sure you're using chrome, and also press ctrl+F5 on the overlay editor page
We just deployed a fix to the font selector
so exit out of the creator?
no, just ctrl+F5 on the keyboard
yeah didn't change anything.
are you selecting the font, or just scrolling the list?
selecting it.
which one?
Cabin Condensed to be specific.
It changes in the editor, but it doesn't in OBS.
it remains 'roboto' ish.
let me see
ok
I am currently on the overlay editor when i try and change some of the text but it doesnt change. Also is there a way to download the background image so i can make my panels under my stream to match my stream overlays?
@clever leaf it looks good on my OBS as far as I can see
try editing the browser source on obs and hitting the refresh cache button
@silk gulch make sure when you go to edit text, you click off the last widget onto a blank area of your editor, and then click the new text widget. It is a known issue
The text jumped to this even though i choose completely different text. I can only use orbitron font every other font appears like the image i gave
Just a random question do thhe overlay from the dashboard cause stream to lag?? because ever since I did on my stream it makes it look like I am dropping frames
It depends on what you have in your overlay, and how beefy your processor is
If you load it up with an animated theme with kappagen, you better have a decent CPU as it will require a lot of processing power
@neon ore
Hmmm Okay Its I took the black and green overlay as all
@serene granite doesn't seem to change anything for me, not even making a new browser source.
very peculiar
quite so
are you using OBS studio , latest version ?
did you save the overlay?
you need to do that to have it change in OBS
Even if I "Launch overlay" it does the same.
the fonts are the same, regadless of having changed the actual fonts.
which browser?
The one in the lower left.
This is the list of fonts SE uses btw https://fonts.google.com/
chrome, firefox, edge
Weird @clever leaf I just went in and changed my font in a text box and it launched fine
@pine hemlock he is using a supported font
can you try out a new overlay? Create a test one, do two text boxes, one roboto, and one the one you want, save and launch?
Yeah gonna try and fiddle with it a bit.
seems to be really weird for me.
Fonts seem to just not want to update no matter what I do really... it doesn't matter if I'm on one overlay or the other.
fonts are loaded from google, there could be something blocking it
Yeah its not changing in obs @serene granite
I just tested it
thats after saving
too
Did shift+f5 too
wait
I got it
Remove the css default stuff from the browser source
@clever leaf
and do refresh cache on the browser source on obs, its in the bottom
After I import my alert box from streamlabs How do I integrate it into a new overlay?
Idk. it started updating once the css default coding was removing for me
@silent veldt it creates an overlay under My Overlays that says Streamlabs imported alertbox, you can add onto that overlay
So I cant import that into an already made overlay?
I dont think you can import from one overlay to another currently. You could run them as seperate browser sources in obs, one being an alertbox only browser source.
np
@serene granite nah you're right about the refreshing of the cache
Even just opening the browser source properties and hitting "ok" would probably reload it and update the font
We can probably do something on save as well
So.. I gotta remove the cssdefault then ctrl+f5?
Nah. you just need to open the browser source and hit the refresh button at the bottom and hit ok
and the font should update
Or just hit "ok" and it forces a reload
that was way more troublesome than it should have been ๐
Thanks guys โค
sometimes we forget the easy stuff and make it harder than needs be
I asked you to refresh it on OBS earlier ๐ฆ
Hello, I am having trouble getting "Current Song" to work on my overlay. I am using the Original LOL super theme, and I have watched the tutorial several times. I am using the Stream Elements song request service, and that is selected in the theme. However even though the song request is open and playing it will not show up on the overlay.
If it's playing from the backup playlist, the songs do not currently show up because of an API limit set by youtube
We're working to have this limit increased so that we can display the songs. For now there is no workaround to get the backup playlist songs to show
I take that back
The workaround would be to add the songs in backup playlist to your request queue
Then the songs will show
I will do that for the time being ๐ Thank you!
hello, I'd like to know if there is some kind of documentation available to interact with songrequest feature? For example, SE gives commands to pause/resume music, but what if I want to add moderator commands to enable or disable it completly?
Sorry, there are no chat commands to enable/disable song request at this time. It would have to be done from the dashboard or ground control app
ok, thx for the reply
You're welcome ๐
hmm any reason my recent subscriber and follower doesn't show up when I added the new widget?
I'm new to Stream Elements too, so would it just not show up because it's a new session?
yes. you can edit it at Activity Feed -> Edit Session
thanks so much
The name of your most recent subscriber/follower?
I think edit session will fix your count but not the usernames
we only know of events that happened after you signed up to our system
right that's what I thought, because integrating streamlabs only shows tips. Ok thank you!!!
Scalper is right though about editing session for follow/subscriber/tip counts
you want to use the edit session page to make sure all the current counts are setup correctly
and from this point on they will increase accordingly
So I bascially insert my current count?
haha thanks @clever mango really looking forward to using this from now on. Loving it so far ๐
appreciate the help
yeah! I love it so far. Being able to customize it is great
Okay, so I'm looking at the superthemes, and trying to figure out customizations.
I'm looking at the brb one right now, and it has Youtube and all of that on the right -- trying to figure out where to put links -- or if I'm just supposed to change 'YOUTUBE' to my channel address.
change it to your channel address, there's no way to have a link on the overlay that the viewer can click.
Okay, that works. Thanks.
I put my usernames for the different platforms I have
question.
Is it possible to stop the boxes and such from snapping to position?
it's really starting to do my head in...
holding control or shift does nothin.
if it snaps to a position you don't want it you can move it more granularly by using your arrow keys. Or type in x/y values for positioning.
Is there a spot for audio commands? Does the bot control that?
Audio commands happen through the stream store.
oh drag
custom overlay or super theme?
it's the music theme one, TerraBuck
right click the source, then properties. make sure it is set to 1920x1080
oh okay, I had the dimensions set WAY low, then
I will test it when I get home, and inform you, I am about to take off in a matter of minutes. My son has a piano lesson.
Ok, we'll be here
I signed up through gamevil. Had streaming yesterday. During the stream I had more than 200 points. When I'm checking my account I see zero points. Please advise
the "my points" page on the site isn't working
go to HIS channel on our site when you're logged in to your user and look on the left pane
or use the bot command for points, which is default !points but some streamers change that
also, do you live on mount tavor ??
can I get some assistance on customization, maybe on voice chat
I can't get on voice chat, any way to help via text?
yeah. I can sit here and flip back and forth between Discord and my Browser
or... it looks like @clever mango is in a channel for you @rancid rivet
@serene granite where do I find HIS channel??
Is there a way to select a group of items in an overlay and move them all together instead of one at a time?
from what I see, unfortunately no, the easiest way to maintain proportion to each other is to make note of each element's coordinates (noted as Top and Left in the Position, size and style submenu) and do a little number crunching to maintain the spacing and positioning they started with.
@serene granite never mind. Found it. Tavor is the gun on the picture
yes, we know, we created that gun ๐
I never got to fire one :'(
Hi, can someone help me with points problems?
what issue are you having?
I don't have access to the streamer dashboard i'm "managing" for tech stuff, so i don't know if there are ignored or not, but i got 2 peoples who said they dont get any points, maybe everone, i don't know. I don't know if there is something wrong about the bot or anything
Can i access dashboard while mod?
To check if something is wrong
ailincia
seems to be working fine, 10 points per 10 minutes
I know, but i don't know if we get the points, or at least 2 peoples
Can i give you the name of the peoples?
sure
Hey i have points set up to hosts receiving 50 when they host however they dont seem to add? is there a delay? as someone followed me and instantly received their points
nope pc
@atomic hollow I don't know what happened, but looks like they got 10 points just now. It's been 2 days they had 0 points tho, don't understand, but thank you ahah
@patent wraith 
Hey guys n gals im after my tipping link for panels
@flat axle https://streamelements.com/tip/uk_jarvis (assuming the twitch in your Discord profile is yours ๐ )
yay, and yer it is thanks
want at least ยฃ50 in tips tonight
oh damn just clicked that link have I really had that many d's
Will StreamElements include the possibility to customize the bot's name sometime in the future? Perhaps as part of a paid premium status like Moobot?
It could be a future feature but we have no details in regards to how it would work
Fair enough, thank you ๐
Hello Staff! I might have found a big.. or im doing something wrong. please help
what's going on?
PM? or here?
here should be fine
the sub sound on my edit isnt triggering when tested.
but if i change that same sound to my follower sound. it works.
it is working for me on both subscribe and follow alerts.
can you try submitting the sound into the sub alert once more?
Got a question, how do i refresh the widgets from a session?
@lofty forge You mean reset them? To refresh them just close the browser source on your OBS and reopen it with 'shutdown when not active' ticked, to reset them you can do that here: https://streamelements.com/dashboard/session
Yes i mean reset
@frosty zealot the sound doesnt work with my sub test... but does work for follower test... do i need to resubmit it?
go to your subscriber alert options and hit the change sound button again.
and resubmit the sound you want.
how do i turn off stream elements bot from saying thank you for following etc
have some trolls spamming a few bad accounts i dont want popping in chat
nvm found it
went to subscriber alerts. changed sound. still doesnt work.
I tested the same sound again on the follower alert, alort works.
is there a setting that im missing?
did you set sounds for the variations?
by default, the variations don't have sounds attached to them, so anything more than 1 month may not play a sound.
@lament blade ^
@frosty zealot variations fixed it. test had sound.
thank you
Why exactly do things need these variations? i see that tips have the same thing.
you can set thresholds for different reactions based on the variations.
so if you want to have a special animation or sound for 12+ month subs vs brand new subs you can.
tips are the same way, as are cheers.
you can also set variations based on the type of sub as of today's update (tier 1, 2 or 3)
you could always set the variations, you can now test them
or that*
thanks for your help
no problem, happy to help 
so i have a sub goal but its now at 0 subs and thats not correct, yesterdag support said i need to reset session but it still dont work
what should i do now ๐ญ
@lament blade You need to edit the session not reset it
oh shit lets try
save button is at the very bottom of the page
@lament blade Look for the correct option that says Goal+Subscriber in it and edit it then hit save
should update your goal correctly

Hi! I have some annoying problem with SE overlay alerts. I am using OBS studio. My problem is, that if somebody for example follow my stream, then the music will be played two times. I don't know why. It does not matter what is the event. Everything was fine, till I just not changed something in the overlay (not that widget). Maybe this is an OBS error, idk. I will try to send you an example video. In the example video, my SE overlay aler widget was not even turned on. Or is this an Chrome problem?
OBS restarted, Chrome restarted, PC restarted. nothing heleped.
Any idea maybe? ๐
@brisk flint This seems like you may have 2 scenes in obs and forgot to enable "shutdown when source not in use"
A!
Ok ๐ mabye
Yes, I have multiple scenes.
Not helped ๐ฆ
And now, to load the browser in OBS takes 1-2 secs.
I had this many times. And somehow it dissapears. But if I change the overlay in SE, it comes back.
I cleared the OBS cache...seems to work
Well the only thing it could be is 1. You didnt enable "shutdown source when not in use" 2. You have the overlay editor open while streaming 3. you have your stream open while obs is open
- was the case...
- I turned the sound off
- Only alerts were problematic.
Interesting! ๐ However, thank you for the help!
Ok, similarly I'm having an issue with alerts since switching from Muxy and StreamLabels... I've set up new sounds and what-not in StreamElements, but the old sounds still play and I'm not sure why... in addition to the new ones. It's spam-tastically cancerous to listen to :/ - I've deleted all my old scene collections, scenes, and sources from OBS and set up new ones using my StreamElements browser source links, but the problem persists. I'd love a suggestion if one's available โค
did you import the old ones?
I did, but I've deleted the import from my overlays library
is there a secondary alertbox floating around from that somewhere? and you've checked every scene for your old browser sources?
What is a troll follow?
i don't want their follow on screen
delete its still there
well ban
makes a bad named account
stuck on recent follower
Ah
Use the overlay, and widget called "Current Song"
We do not support WMP. We are a cloud based system that pulls information the internet provides, WMP, is not a tool we can read.
quick question/concern re Twitch username changes, if someone has a moment; not urgent
sup?
what all do I have to do on the SE side of things when I change my twitch username?
We do not support files.
@native cedar log out, and log back in after the name change
@lament blade if your music player can communicate with an API you can write an app and host it on a cheap cloud server, have the music player update your web app and have SE poll your web app
the command would be something like
${customapi.your.domain/webapp}
the bot will dump whatever it gets back into the chat
thanks @stuck hamlet that's simple enough... the bot will automatically move to the new channel?
@lament blade I'm actually glad I walked in on you asking that, because I hadn't even thought of trying that and now I'm probably gonna
for less "buggy" situations, you should part the bot before doing the name change
a simple part/join after the log out/log in, should be fine
thanks for the top @stuck hamlet
@stuck hamlet are you SE staff?
nevermind, I see the staff list
Yeah. Hidden staff 
do you know if SE ever partners or works with developers of other services? I have a few things I'm wanting to do that I'd much rather integrate with SE than compete with you guys
especially since you were cool about 
yes, we like to develop with other people. Id like to point you towards perry or Shadow about potentially working with us on something, Styler would be the tech side of things.
we don't have a .txt file @jagged ridge
as i mentioned before, we are a cloud based platform
well, I'll build out my stuff for personal use first and approach one of them when I have something to demonstrate
thanks for the help
anxious to see what you make ๐
@jagged ridge you would need to get that text file onto a server, then point the ${customapi} command variable at the file
assuming the file contains ONLY the text you want displayed, that should work
that's as close to textfile support as your going to get unless you run a bot locally, which isn't what SE is
@native cedar the entire site runs on an API, which will be updated soon. You could build integrations that way as well. Check out #dev-chat for more info
@olive lintel, you around for some support?
why is StreamElements so slow in picking up new followers? I've been wanting to use StreamElements for KappaGen mostly, but the StreamElements follower notification just comes in 4 minutes later than the other service I'm using
@sleek geyser Sounds like a twitch api issue
why does it work faster for the other service I'm using?
KappaGen and Follower Alert are linked, they should trigger at the same time.
@weary mist awesome! I'm assuming the API would give me access to variables, command counts, and whatnot above and beyong whatever the ${customapi} command passes?
oh, you're using other services for follow alerts?
