Type !emotes update in your twtich chat, then reload the overlays with the reload button in your activity feed and then reload the overlay you are maybe editing with the kappagen.
What was the issue?
I refreshed cache of current page
Under obs
Thank you !!!!!
It was an option in its source properties, in case anyone else has issue

Why cant i hear my music through my stream
Please do only ping this role in urgent issues. Thank you.
Sorry
so the media request isnt on stream?
what do you mean?
Add the media request widget to your overlay using the overlay editor and add this overlay to your OBS. Then press the show on stream and when you only whant to hear the sound, then hide the video.
maybe he is talking about just Spotify not showing up on stream and not the media widget
Yeah but thing is he literally mentioned and is showing media request tho Ruben
he didn't mention media request
he just said music
so that could be just getting some background music from spotify or another source
Let's just ask them?
and that the tab is showing in OBS that is just default 😛
i asked about media request as its playing but not set to show on stream
but yes, that can mean any music
Ok so how do i fix it?
nice
xD
nvm i fixed it
I have another question is there a way i can play music on stream but not hear it?

Thanks
^^^ Whoever did this thank you I was literally about to recommend Voicemeeter 
hay there! can anyone plz help me to fix kappagen for streamlabs obs? 
@pallid condor We're not able to troubleshoot issues with using our overlays in StreamLabs OBS (SLOBS) as we don't have the tools to support their software. We recommend using OBS Studio or OBS Studio with our plugin OBS.Live.
aha.. thank u!!
So I am setting up KappaGen for Twitch, however its having some issues trying to reach the edge of the screen, the right and the top sections seem to be where it struggles the most. Do I configure this issue in StreamElements overlay OR do I configure this in OBS, if so what I do to correct this? Thank you 🙂
It starts to get cut off from the top here
Have you made the overlay and the widget size the same as the screen size in OBS? Then you can set the emote duration on screen up, to have the emotes longer on screen and make them go higher when choosen the Bubble animation.
I have them on random, when I made OBS the same size as the overlay from StreamElements, it didn't work. i also made sure to change the emote settings to full screen in hopes for that to work. I may just have to tinker it with some more, cause making it the double the size worked for me
Everything is just horrible my stream keeps lagging and eariler it was saying i couldnt stream becuase of amd
lord logan gamer sent me :0
anyone know how to reset the sub goal back to zero?
Overlay editor >> data >> goals
With regards to cheer alerts, I need a little help, trying to get as much space for the 500 characters, however the text doesn't show if it caps at the amount so just wondering what I am supposed to do with the box size in order to fix that. Thank you 🙂
@wise grail drag the bottom right corner of the box and expand it in the overlay editor
Okay, I'll try again, I adjusted the height so I must need to expand the width as well which is what I was trying to avoid, so I'll just work backwards until it fits
Yeah, that's what I was hoping could have been achieved, however I don't have any prior coding or css knowledge to make it possible
Yeah I’m pretty dumb at css
Im having a problem currently with my bot in my chat and this problem occurred whenever i changed my name on twitch. My dashboard pulls up my new name but the bot will not join my chat.
@true mica part the bot from your channel, sign out, sign in, join the bot
Thank you so much Orsuna. That did work.
I used the auto thing twice and my stream is still horribl
@hoary karma what’s happening?
Is there a way to modify the default !store command for the Stream store?
To do what?
To only post the link instead of all available items, we've got like 80 sfx
hey guys im in need of big help, i have imported my things from moobot over to stream labs and when i look at my custom commands nothing is there, what should i do?
has anyone used regular expressions for their stuff? im trying to insert one for a banned phrase but im not able to get it to work
@solar sluice Can you specify, please?
Whenever i have League of Legends game open My frames plummet but once I am out it is perfectly fine
Happens with the steam client as well
Have tried lowering bitrate
@deep yew you can disable the default command and create your own custom one.
@noble rampart best to ask Stream Labs on this. This here is StreamElements.
@small cliff Please provide a log from your last stream. To do this, in OBS go to Help > Log Files > Upload Last Log File and paste the link to the log file here.
Hello I was wondering how to edit the promts for when I start a giveaway
There is no way to edit these at this time.
Ok i have just seen others where the promt uses the command properly I edited the command for tickets to !giveaway and the promt still says type !tickets
hey there, my streaminformation tab isnt loading anymore, how do i reset that ? ty for the help!
Can you share a screenshot please?

@pliant summit If you are not seeing the OBS Twitch integrations and have OBS.Live installed, please follow these steps:
- Make sure you are on the latest and greatest version of OBS.Live
- exit OBS (make sure OBS is not running)
- delete %appdata%\obs-studio\plugin_config\obs-browser\obs_profile_cookies
- start OBS.Live
- Settings -> Stream -> disconnect -> connect
ty bot will try
worked, ty
Hello!
Is there any way to give a mod permission to for instance only access my channel's Media Requests but nothing else, as an example?
The mod can on the one side use on the one side some default commands to control the MR.
The other possibilitie would be to grant them one of three permission levels on your dashboard. But at the moment there is no setting to let them only see the MR.

Hi, I've noticed that my alerts for Extra Life haven't recovered after the DDoS that hit the donor drive servers yesterday- but I'm seeing other services working, that seem to imply that the API is marginally functional.
Is there anything I can do on my end to try to force everything to refresh or attempt to pull from the API again?
You can try to readd the campaign in the overlay widgets and then reload the overaly with the reload button in your activity feed.
Okay. Thank you.
The donor drive extension on twitch is working again, and the alerts for Streamlabs became functional at some point overnight. Since I'm continuing my stuff for it in 40 minutes, I'd like to try and get it working again myself. lol
If it is not working, come back here and we'll try to have a closer look.
Sure thing. Thank you!
Yeah. I removed the donation tracker widget and re-added it and before even looking at it in OBS, the preview itself on the site is showing no info on how much I've raised.
This is how it's showing right now.
Have you tried to delete and readd the extra life ID?
Would you mind to DM me the ID?
Sure thing!
I am sorry, as I cannot get it to work myself. I am asking internally on how ti fix this.
@twin sentinel can you @ me as well if you find a solution I'm having the same issues
yeah sure.
Hey, can you tell me why I can only use PayPal on my Tipping settings?
@cerulean dawn are you using anything other than PayPal ?
Yes
do you use SEpay already?
^^^
Im new at this. :D I want to switch from tipeee to StreamElements. So im a little confused
go there and run through the setup 😉
thx ruben 
i just woke up after 40 minutes, fell asleep watching youtube 
im back 
you are from germany right?
yes
should be available there, and you have over 100 followers
^^^
yup haha
If only I had the power to switch it on 
^ asking internally on this issue.
Benno to the rescue as always

thank you ♥
I downloaded the streamelements OBS, where do I rename my bot? do I have to enter paypal before I can do it?
@random quail Custom bot name requirements
- StreamElements bot modded and in chat
- Active overlay with alerts
- StreamElements tipping page in the panels below the stream (!panels)
- OBS.Live or Ground Control open
- Create a twitch account for the name you want to use or run the bot under your own name
- Custom bot name doesn't work on Mac
After you fulfill the requirements you can set the custom bot name here: https://discordapp.com/channels/141203863863558144/494513233416421386/561516184718278676
I don't accept donations in my stream, am I still forced to have a donations tipping page in my panels for it to work 😮 ? is there no work around?
You can add it, but you can disconnet the payment options.
I see thank you 
If I reset the all time leaderboard, everyone will keep ther points, right?
Yes, sould be the case although I am not 100% sure.
Why do you want to do that?
cause I forgot to blacklist some bots whitch are now at a pritty high rank @twin sentinel
Best to just remove their points individually.
hm okey
ty
@twin sentinel why does someone have more current points then all time points? How is this even possible?
All time points is just the points via watchtime, current points is also the points with mini games, raffles and so on.
Afaik there is no possibility to remove a top chatter.
oh okey ty
Is there a tutorial somewhere on how to define a wireframe for a hypecup?
so, I haven't been streaming for a couple of weeks and now my overlays don't show on the stream, they are still on my overlay dashboard and looks like they are supposed to, but they don't load onto Streamelements OBS for some reason, I have checked the path is correct and everything looks like it should
@cunning summit Disable the hardware browser acceleration in the advanced settings in OBS.Live.
yup that did it Thank you @twin sentinel
It's just: [x1, y1, x2, y2, x3, y3, etc.]
@summer forge
If you want to take a deeper look at this, start with this conversation https://discordapp.com/channels/141203863863558144/199460642975907840/596263609152045056
I think I have fulfilled all requirements for the bot name change now, where would I find the option within OBS.Live ?
thank you!
hello
I am trying to configure the stream chat on screen and i am wondering if i can change the color of the chat text
Set it in the text settings of the chat widget.
Thanks Benno, I'm slowly getting the wireframe in place now 🙂
Hello! I'm trying to set up the Tiltify donation widget and it's not letting me select a campaign that I'm contributing to.
What widget are you referring to? The alert box or the donation tracker?
Donation tracker
Have you connected tiltify to streamelements in the widget settings?
Yes
Please try to reconnect it: https://streamelements.com/dashboard/account/integrations
Just disconnected and reconnected. When I click on "select campaign" it's just blank and I can't type anything
what browser are you using?
chrome
Can you share a screenshot of that please?
This looks to me some sort of auto form fill function. So when you try to input something in the field, the white big box appears?
Correct
Is it possible you can still type behind the auto form and hit enter to submit?
Can you try to use firefox and see if this browser has the same issue?
Ya it has the same issue.
That is wacky
Maybe it's because I'm in Canada?
Shouldnt matter
It’s almost like it can’t read your tiltify campaigns
What do you think @twin sentinel
I do not have the possibility to check myself. I would ask internally on this issue, how to solve it.
Hey is there any way to stream from the SE Phone app then seamlessly carry on/change over to SOBS if anyone knows would be greatly appreciated
Thank you for the help @twin sentinel @dry hare
@grizzled raptor as a last ditch effort you could try disconnecting tiltify integration and then reconnecting it
But I make no guarantees
@carmine warren I think that would not be possible as you would need to end the stream on the one app and then start it on the other.
Why do you not use the SE app throughout?
Its defiantly possible another way by setting a server up or something i saw another streamer do it. Just thought it was maybe possible with the SE app and SOBS, @twin sentinel because after IRL stream i play pc/console and song request etc so would be nice to seamlessly change over 🙂
Sorry, no idea how to set that up.
Quick question. I am new to streaming and was streaming about 30mins, all of a sudden, I got an encoding error and it stopped the stream. Anyone know why this keeps on happening?
@blazing crag Please provide a log from your last stream. To do this, in OBS go to Help > Log Files > Upload Last Log File and paste the link to the log file here.
@round bramble do I post it here?
yes please.
Have you restarted OBS since the error?
@twin sentinel I have no restarted OBS, was just doing a couple of test streams to see whats going on
Can you upload the current log file please?
@twin sentinel here you go 🙂 https://obsproject.com/logs/HDlX8Nw4gsNpzIon
@twin sentinel thank you for the help it is greatly appreciated 🙂
Take a look at this analysis with tips on how to improve. Special look at the encoder start error section: https://h4ndy.eu/obslog?url=https%3A%2F%2Fobsproject.com%2Flogs%2FHDlX8Nw4gsNpzIon#Encoder start error
@twin sentinel thank you
Hello! I'm a user of the !kappagen command, it used to take an emote as a variable before the amount of emotes to display, it currently isn't working as intended, as in I cannot give it a specific emote to generate on the screen, any fixes? <@&382267076632379392>
Howdy! Could you show us how exactly you have the command syntax laid out? This may help further solve your problem
can I set the starting amount of the tip goal?
@lament blade The command syntax is !kappagen Kappa 100 and I just tested it on my end and it worked perfectly 🙂
@lament blade https://streamelements.com/dashboard/session -> Goals
@wanton mango where can I find this page from the home page?
Sidebar -> Activity feed -> Widget data
Thank you so much!
how do i share an overlay i've made with someone else, is it by giving them perms to my account or is there another way?
same as your yt channel,
consistent content
good, enjoyable content
and social media
also, as this isnt SE related, please keep this in #general-chat
Has the Extra Life tracker been fixed on Stream Elements? I know its down now for us showing 0 but realize it was due to the DDos attack yesterday. I would appreciate the assistance.
There is no Custom CSS option for chat right now, will this function be available at some point or I can't find it?
Can't delete account help?
@cloud meteor if you don't mind doing some light copy-pasting, you can create a custom widget with this and then style it to your needs: https://github.com/StreamElements/widgets/tree/master/CustomChat
does anyone have an answer my question?
@analog python they need to add you as an editor to their account, after which you'll be able to duplicate the overlay over to their account
They can generate the invite link from here
Any updates to my question for the Extra Life tracker? Our is showing 0 now and nothing has changed on our end.
oh that makes sense thank you ❤
@calm grail not sure, sorry. it's the weekend so staff might not see until tomorrow
@wanton mango @calm grail the last I heard Extra Life having issues themselves not SE
Yeah they got DDoS'd yesterday but recovered, though apparently the widget is still having problems
what who would want to ddos Extra Life of all people 
Just started with StreamElements in OBS for Fortnite. My FPS jumps between 11 and 30 (set to 30 for streaming and recording) and I haven't started streaming and havent' started the replay buffer yet. Why is it already so laggy??
@frail zealot Please provide a log from your last stream. To do this, in OBS go to Help > Log Files > Upload Last Log File and paste the link to the log file here.
I haven't streamed with it yet.
Check to make sure you have Browser Source Hardware Acceleration disabled in Settings>Advanced.
I wonder who signed that tweet 👀
Well lookie there. 🙂

Please provide a log, even if you haven't streamed yet. It may still provide some insight regardless.
Ok. uploaded
And paste the link to the log file here.
Restart OBS as administrator.
Ok. Did that
Should I try the replay buffer again?
I still see my fps dropping to 16 or so
@normal igloo Actually, the EL site and APIs are all running. The alerts are working via streamlabs, but not streamelements.
I had to make an emergency streamlabs alert to run during the rest of my stream today since they weren't running at all from streamelements.
I had reached out to someone here about it much earlier today and jujst haven't heard anything about it since.
So, I tried to run Fortnite, and ran the Replay Buffer. FPS dropped on OBS to as low as 11. And the game itself is LAGGY! FPS in game dropped to as low as 6 FPS.
I started the stream to get an updated log file
https://h4ndy.eu/obslog?url=https%3A%2F%2Fobsproject.com%2Flogs%2F4FPlTzAauzun34SN
Yeah, your GPU and CPU are being overloaded.
No a problem when I use Streamlabs OBS. I can stream and record the whole thing... 3 hours... a few dropped frames.
Why is that?
I heard OBS was less taxing on CPU and GPU than Streamlabs.
Along with the web based StreamElements
Alright @normal igloo but I think things are corrected but I will reach out for confirmation.
np
👍
Im currently doing a Tiltify charity stream and the alerts are not showing when some one donates? the test works fine in my overlay and in OBS, but a REAL donation doesnt? Ive disconnected and re-intergrated my tiltify account but nothing
@noble panther Make sure you have the campaign selected in the alertbox.
yep, just did that. made a test donation, nothing
I saw a $1 anonymous donation come in while I was in the editor a minute ago.
Refresh your browser source cache in OBS.
AHH i got one to come through!
😄
haha, now im a bit afraid to change the default alert!! but thanks! this will do! ❤
how weird! id refreshed it yesterday..
hi what is wrong with the follower goal ?
it comes up with 22 instead of how many total followers ive had
That'd be because goals aren't tied to totals.
how do i sort that out ?
They're counters. They go up, never down, and can be manually reset or adjusted. https://streamelements.com/dashboard/session
(if you want a goal that uses current totals, try this out: https://discordapp.com/channels/141203863863558144/457957557470887947/639045826815066122 )
Hey, why does my stream stutter on obs my PC is able to support a heavy work load so im confused
@lament blade Please provide a log from your last stream. To do this, in OBS go to Help > Log Files > Upload Last Log File and paste the link to the log file here.
@weary mist So it works with twitch emotes, but for some reason where it used to work with FFZ or BTTV emotes, it currently doesn't anymore, not gif emotes just images to specify, thanks for the answer I did have the right syntax!
is anyone here that can help
@lament blade Please provide a log from your last stream. To do this, in OBS go to Help > Log Files > Upload Last Log File and paste the link to the log file here.
not using the bot
I'm a bot, only here to send helpful messages because the helpers are lazy.
!lazy
who me??
No, us.
oh lol
really i though it was just here whenever it pics up key words like help
!obslog
Please provide a log from your last stream. To do this, in OBS go to Help > Log Files > Upload Last Log File and paste the link to the log file here.
see lol like when a say help

but can you help me
Sure. Follow the instructions the bot posted on my behalf three times.
yes, do what the bot tells you to do 
-_-
we need the log to see what is 'probably' causing the issues
https://h4ndy.eu/obslog?url=https%3A%2F%2Fobsproject.com%2Flogs%2FJ81xu5cp6q3PQSUO
Couple of issues visible from the start but you'll need to provide a log with an output session.
how do i do that
That's the same log.
I just cleared out all of my logs
and this is the one that i just got
is this the one
okay thank you
Display and Game Capture Sources interfere with each other. Never put them in the same scene
what does this mean
😶
what does that mean
I have never seen that error come up before.
this new cod is putting a strain on my brain lol
Oh, that error is from Call of Duty?
yeah
Well, you'll need to reach out to them about that
We can't really help you with CoD here.
yeah it happened when i turned off the Nvidia game capture
I'll try the stream again thank you all
now i'm getting this @strong kernel
According to that log you set it to something other than Default.
Keep it at Default
And follow the rest of the instructions.
i set it to default
And again, disable Browser Source Hardware Acceleration.
19:49:04.083: Browser Hardware Acceleration: true
where is this located at
Settings>Advanced.
You're trying to stream a brand new game that doesn't have optimized drivers yet.
You need to play with and lower settings until things work.
okay ill try that thank you
Hey, its maybe one German Admin here?
Not usually at this hour.
I'm not an admin but a supporter. What can I help you with?
(Psst btw. #🇩🇪︱deutsch 👀 )
Naja, habe Streamelements funktioniert auch alles. Aber Alerts gehen nicht.
Habe echt alles ausprobiert woran es liegen könnte, es klappt nichts.
follower geht, donate host etc aber nicht
Warte, schreib mal hier > #🇩🇪︱deutsch 😄
@stark whale Welcome to the helpdesk! Please let us know how we can assist you today and a support volunteer or staff member will assist you as soon as they are available. Thank you for your patience.
@grizzled raptor Can you please try to reconnect your tiltify accont with SE and reload the overlay. Then try to enter the campaign again.
Hello, how can i reset tip goal?
Goal progress is managed at https://streamelements.com/dashboard/session
ty 
question! is there a streamer that uses streamelements to its full use, that we can all kinda learn from? see what they did with all the variables and how they made it work for their channel?
There's honestly no one we could truly say uses it to its "full" use as people are always coming up with new ways to use it, whether with their own APIs, some custom coding in the overlay editor, and more. The best place to learn about our tools is our YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/streamelements/videos
Official youtube channel for StreamElements tutorials https://StreamElements.com
As for specific variables for the bot, you're always welcome to ask about them here.
yea i looekd up all those hahaha
just wondering if there was someone that blew everyones minds
wanted to see if i could see what they do
Well, our blog has the Streamovators series that features content creators who do neat things: https://blog.streamelements.com/search?q=Streamovators
Read writing on StreamElements - Legendary Live Streaming filtered by Streamovators. All the tools a streamer needs: Tips, Overlays, ChatBot, Loyalty Points and more!
I've imported the files with the info given on the site but still the config of them is nowhere to be found
Imports can be found at https://streamelements.com/dashboard/overlays
Yes I've done that too. But when I launch it its straigh up blank
And there is no way to test if it is actually working?
Yes, nothing will be visible until you receive an alert.
@undone cove You can test Alerts via the bell on the lower right corner of the Overlay Editor. Simply go to your Dashboard -> My Overlays -> Pencil/edit button on the overlay. Make sure the "Show Emulated events on stream" option is on to see the alert in OBS/Xsplit https://streamable.com/h6qgy
Regarding Nerd or Die alerts, you do not want to import them from Streamlabs. Nerd or Die includes separate instructions for installing in StreamElements.
Our platforms are coded differently, so importing is not effective.
It's pretty much too late now, but did anyone figure out what's happening with the Extra Life widgets?
I know they were being DDoS'd earlier, but things are still not responding, and the alerts with streamlabs are working at this point.
We do know Extra Life had been getting DDOSed, according to their Twitter.
I had to make a streamlabs alert for my stream for it today. (and don't like it. xD)
thank you for answering me last night about the store command and modifying. Unfortunately when i try to delete or edit the store command, the bot tells me no command exists
@versed breach I cannot find the participant ID you entered in Extra Life's site.
(OBS.LIVE) i broke my chat feed cuz i clicked a button and now the chat window shows the main page of twitch. tried reloading the module/closing Obs studio. any fixes for this 😛
Log out and log back in with the StreamElements menu at the top.
@deep yew You cannot edit the response for default commands, only the trigger itself (i.e. change from !store to something else)
Your overlay seems to have "314902"
I don't know what happened with the overlay, but the tracker is on the correct ID.
Thanks @strong kernel , i'll look into changing the trigger so we can create our own
@deep yew What you can instead do is disable the default command entirely and make a custom command instead.
@versed breach The tracker is set correctly. The alertbox is not.
problem is the default command doesn't show at all @strong kernel
The tracker is very very broken, though...
in the web UI at least
I'm willing to take it to the cheek on the issue with the alerts. The tracker has been saying '0 of 0' since yesterday, though.
@versed breach Okay, I looked at some internal history and we're aware of the tracker not pulling data. A ticket is already open to address this.
Okay! Thank you!
Hey! So Ive set up TTS for every possible thing on SEOBS and it works every everything EXCEPT bits TTS. Is this a known issue? Is there something separate or special I have to do for bits that I didnt have to for donations, subs, resubs? It doesnt work when someone ACTUALLY donates bits and it also doesnt work in the dashboard test section also but it does for everything else. Thanks for the help!!
@shell hound check variations of the alert
nevermind @strong kernel i found it, it's under the Items command 🙂
So what's the go with duplicating overlays?There is no variations in the link and unfortunately, I don't want to start a whole new overlay with setting up settings etc, when its already been done previous.Why is the whole process so convulted and why does it not have a slight code variation from one duplication to the next?
What can I do to fix this please. Thank you
To duplicate a widget use this:
I already have, did you read what I said?
I'm not sure what you mean by "there is no variation in the link":
The link doesn't have a number variation, for some reason, let's say I duplicated overlay 1 and that made an exact copy and its now overlay dupe 1, overlay dupe 1 has had alerts and other things repositioned right, for some reason because the links are the same, dupe 1's overlay repositions are applying that to overlay 1
I tried troubleshooting for hours, I can't fix it
The link is basically this:
https://streamelements.com/overlay/OVERLAYTID/YOURID
Yeah, with like a string of numbers etc yeah
what i mean by that is - every overlay, duplicated or new one, has a unique ID to it.
You are most likely not looking at the duplicated overlay.
That is not possible.
I'll try it again and see what happens
There's a bug that when you duplicate an overlay, it doesn't appear in front of all the others, it's actually a few behind. The name should have the phrase Copy of in it
I see 2 overlays with copy of names in them.
Bot is not banned, modded, and in the viewer list, commands enabled, but commands are not working
Parted Channel, signed out and back in, and Joined Channel again, but commands still not working 🤔
what is your username?
miniqq
Disable custom bot name
Cheers 👍
Do NOT paste the overlay URLs in public locations!
I cut the end of the link so its not all there
I cut the end, so its not all there
Trust me, thats not enough
Okay
I DMed you the difference in IDs of the overlays
Thanks
need some help
@fast harbor Welcome to the helpdesk! Please let us know how we can assist you today and a support volunteer or staff member will assist you as soon as they are available. Thank you for your patience.
oh wait this is twitch chat
What exactly are you trying to do?
So I have overlays setup to the degree of being able to edit the easy stuff like icons and text sounds etc for like donations
but before I wasn't gonna make a premade one which I decided to try
I was gonna keep it minimalist
anyways now I just need to figure out
how to get like twitch chat and wht not onto the overlays
I have the newest obs.live or w/e
so it's on the side panel already..
In the overlay editor -> widgets on top -> My stream chat -> add -> save
which editor?
oh well now I see
the streamelements widgets
ohh okay
xD
and while in OBS
I just add the game source as before
but fit it intot he window
instead of going full screen?
also there should be star next to the ones I can add right?
Cause when I choose my chat box its just a grey box
star?
sec i'll show ya
bluetooth keyboard I'm using for space doesn't have prnt screen
hence on board lol
Having a star, means its a featured widget.
Ok, so click on the widget and on the left menu you can change background clor and text color
I can only change the backround color
I mean it'll let me "choose" anything else
but nothing changes
NiceGuyMarshall
Let me know when you save the overlay and exit out of the editor
Yeah I see that it just wiped al the backrounds
I have one saved from before I was looking at
sec
okay
search again
and the one I WAS working on
be right back
I really only need that, the one for in game
and then maybe the end? but if I can figure out the chat b/s
then that's all I'll need
I'm not looking for anything fancy like I said just the basics
that's my old
one that I had saved on obs
Please don't post your overlay URL in public locations!
Yeah I had tried that,but I'll follow our steps to the Tee
I'm thinking maybe the widget sn'tl oading my chat box correctly?
this makes no sense then
I'm literally doing what you said
which I was doing before
and nothing
What do you mean "nothing"?
click save
define "live actions"
like the name of my twitch not scrolling in the editor
but does when I have it opened like in obs etc
idk man I'm just so confused
I keep getting so close
and end up trying something else
On the currently saved overlay, the text color is not set.
If you want a simple overlay, minimalist, as you mentioned earlier
just make a blank overlay and add an alert widget and a chat box.
Well I do but last time I even tried that
Somehow managed to mess that up
but now I know hwo to do the alerts
And if you are referring to this widget
click on it -> text settings -> scroll down a bit -> toggle OFF the scroll text effect
I wanted it on
what I meant was
I had it on
but it wasn't even showing that in the editor
so I was thinking anything that's meant to show any "actions" were paused or some crazy crap
idk
But I'll give this a shot
I appreciate you trying to help brother
Do you play Eternal Card Game at all?
I don't know that game
You ever play any TCG/CCG gamg Gere sGGS
Where is this going?
I only going to reccomend Eternal if you had played those before and liked them
recommend * Nothing else. My bad.
Something new when support for mixer is added?
@normal fog Soon! Not Blizzard Soon or Valve Soon, sooner then that. 
Hi there - I am creating a second overlay and have added the AlertBox Widget. I successfully changed all videos, fonts etc to my liking and it's almost playing well:
Only the Cheer alert won't update. The changes are saved and displayed on in the Editor, but when I hit Emulate Cheer Event, it plays the default animation + font which ships with the AlertBox in the first place.
Even if I clear the video and sound, it will continue showing the default video animation....
Anyone came across this before? Best way to fix it?
Check the variation of the cheer alerts.
Unfortunately also plays the default (non-customized) animation with the cheer varations.
I've even added an entirely new Alert Box right now and cleared the default video.. and it's still showing.
Btw - thanks so much for the superfast response.
aaaah omg.. stupid me.
feeling bad now.. but superhappy for that quick fix ;). So sorry.. oh man.. that's basically what I've done for some of the other alerts already anyways.. Just forgot that it's there for Cheers as well xD
Don't worry about it, we are all human 😉
^^ Thanks again 🙂
Thanks to everyone whom has been helping so far 🙂
I have an issue where the secondary text is very close to the title text, was wondering how I space this successfully please. Thank you
In the text settings -> secondary text -> advanced -> adjust the margins
Oh, thank you Keizar!
Why can't I choose my twitch stream title through OBV Live anymore?
I have to go on twitch site separately to set all my stream titles and stuff
But I use to do it straight from OBS Live before...has that feature gone or I can't find it?
You should be able to via the activity feed -> 3 lined button on the top left of it
Oh yeah - that's not the same as it used to be though. Doesn't let me choose the notification message either?
That just says title and game...what about tags and notification settings like before
Afaik, tags do not have an open API end point from Twitch.
But most of the time tags are set automaticalyl by twitch, when you switch games
What about the notification part? that got API issues now too?
I don't believe that was a thing in OBS.Live
it was, i did it all the time
Most likely you are thinking about the default docks from OBS Studio
@oblique raft If you are not seeing the OBS Twitch integrations and have OBS.Live installed, please follow these steps:
- Make sure you are on the latest and greatest version of OBS.Live
- exit OBS (make sure OBS is not running)
- delete %appdata%\obs-studio\plugin_config\obs-browser\obs_profile_cookies
- start OBS.Live
- Settings -> Stream -> disconnect -> connect
huh
yeah it was like a section on my OBS interface above activity feed where I could set title, game, tags, notification setting
follow the above things
then after that, View -> docks -> stream info/notification/thingy
how do I do #3 of that list
In your explorer in windows, the file manager, navigate to that folder by entering the path in the navigation bar and delete the content of this folder.
At Loyalty settings it says "Host bonus" so does that mean if someone hosts me they get x amount of coins? Or is that based on how many viewers they have?
All hosts will receive X points upon hosting. so the person who hosts you get this amount of points for hosting.
Quick question on TTS Alerts (Tip Alert). I've put a 0 (zero) for the Text to speech activation delay.. but after I hit emulate tip, it takes 10 seconds until the voice kicks in. What am I doing wrong? I'd like it to stark talking way sooner.
If you want to have the TTS be made later than you would enter there a number. I am not sure if there is a way to make it start earlier.
Got it .. mh - seems it was taking a 10 second delay from earlier and didn't hook up the 0 I've put in there.. So I've deleted the entry entirely and it works now instantly (voice kicks in directly).. Thank you @twin sentinel 🙂
Every few weeks I have to come in here because my events list is on the fritz. Usually someone says they will take a look and resets some hook in the backend. Can someone help me today?
@supple eagle You are referring o the action text? Afaik this is not possible.
ok
@distant ledge Can you provide a screenshot of your eventlist please?
Checking on the settings on your site
If I change a setting like "superchat" to off it appears for a few minutes but then it randomly goes out again
yeah, thanks
Stream Boss: Is it possible to set an minimal amount of viewers required in a host to deal dammage?
Afaik, no.
:/
Overlays: so I put on kappagen and Chat box on a overlay and RESIZE it. But when I copy link and paste it on obs, you can’t see chat box or emotes and whenever an emote explosion goes off, you can only see a couple emotes coming from right side. Any fixes?
can you screenshot your settings for the kappagen?
I'm not seeing an image attached
Take your time
Under Emotesplosions please check how many emotes are automatically generated
400
hahaha so I guess that's not it
although if you don't have a beefy CPU I would bring that down a bit
I was gonna change turn it down just wanted it to work first
Very weird, I thought it was just the emote overlay but it’s everything that doesn’t fit the screen. Chat box, kappagen, alerts, etc.
It just shows the top left corner of the screen
I have indicated here we I need the spacing to occur, its between the title and the secondary text, the margin only works for spacing between the cheer gif and the first line
This is possible with the text settings > secondary text > advanced > top padding.
@cyan lava can you take a native screen recording? from this video it looks like kappagen is working and I can't tell what is/isn't showing correctly
or if you're able to explain better what is happening in this video that's not correct
Basically nothing happens unless some emotes fly off screen on website
So it’s projecting wrong part of screen
can you check that you've followed all these steps first
@cyan lava You can test Alerts via the bell on the lower right corner of the Overlay Editor. Simply go to your Dashboard -> My Overlays -> Pencil/edit button on the overlay. Make sure the "Show Emulated events on stream" option is on to see the alert in OBS/Xsplit https://streamable.com/h6qgy
Of course
the "Emulated events part"
It’s checked
and also just double check these settings
@cyan lava To add your overlays to OBS, add a new browser source in your scene. Paste your overlay URL in the browser source properties, set the dimensions to 1920x1080 (unless you changed them on the website), and ☑ “Shutdown source when not visible” https://youtu.be/KDvLynUqXI4
All of that is checked, i tried restarting computer, restarting obs, creating different overlay, etc.
Height as 1920 and width 1080 right
@cedar lynx
Nvm
ahh it's come to my attention that you are using SLOBS
@cyan lava We're not able to troubleshoot issues with using our overlays in StreamLabs OBS (SLOBS) as we don't have the tools to support their software. We recommend using OBS Studio or OBS Studio with our plugin OBS.Live.
Other way around
I figured it was something like that, my friend uses it on obs studio and that’s why I wanted to try it
Thank you for trying to help, much love
of course! 😄
@twin sentinel Thank you 🙂
Ummm, not sure what I do here to fix this, any suggestions please?
@wise grail To add your overlays to OBS, add a new browser source in your scene. Paste your overlay URL in the browser source properties, set the dimensions to 1920x1080 (unless you changed them on the website), and ☑ “Shutdown source when not visible” https://youtu.be/KDvLynUqXI4
Yes, the overlay has been set as 1920 x 1080, its still behaving like that sadly :/
Its okay, adding an extra zero at the end of 192 would help
Oopsy 😳
theres no helpdesk for SE its self so ima just ask here, sorry if not the right place but I'm trying to setup my info to withdraw my tips and on the first page where it asks for SSN, address and such theres one next to adress that says number? I have no idea what thats asking for
can you DM me a screenshot of that please?
yes let me just remove my info quick
Any idea as to why its behaving like this? Thank you
Is text wrapping a thing in Streamelements, or is that something you do via coding?
Text wrapping can be made via pressing enter in the message field in the alertbox.
Oh, thank you
I have tried exiting and entering in again, the text is still bunching. Where did I go wrong?
Try to set a higher top padding to the secondary text.
if you're willing you can DM me an editor invite link so I can have a look. click "generate invite link" from this page and send it to me privately https://streamelements.com/dashboard/account/channels
hey umn the media request seems to be buggy? Every time the track ends it doesn't play the next one, it's stuck unless i refresh the panel. The issue still persists in the web page version
if your using OBS.live try refreshing the Media Request dock panel top left corner
hello. I just read about SLOBS having selective recordings. Will SE be implementing this feature too?
SE is a plugin I believe OBS studio has plans for it
I see.
I already asked this before, but where can I make a queue for my viewers to queue up for the next game?
There is an external API you can use: https://thefyrewire.com/docs/api/twitch/queue/
lolz
thank you @twin sentinel and @real escarp <3
wait, cooldowns are in minutes or seconds?
seconds
thx
Is there any feature where people can write something in the chat, and the streamer will be able to see how many times something got wrote (like a strawpoll, but without the viewers to leave twitch)? 🙂
Only for affiliates and partner at this time if I am not wrong.
Otherwise use https://poll.ma.pe/
Does the first feature require the streamer to type in the responses at first?
yes.
What about the second option?
same.
alright, thank you 🙂
I don't want the bot to send messages to my chat, how do I disable it?
Mute the bot on your dashboard.
@real escarp Thanks for your help!
hello i'm super new to all this and I am using one of your guys overlays but I can get to fit into the rectangle in the overlay correctly leaving a lot of open space to the side.
@arctic hedge To add your overlays to OBS, add a new browser source in your scene. Paste your overlay URL in the browser source properties, set the dimensions to 1920x1080 (unless you changed them on the website), and ☑ “Shutdown source when not visible” https://youtu.be/KDvLynUqXI4
i need helps.
do you guys have a discord bot?
nighbot for example, has a discord bot where i type the commands on discord, and it sends me the custom command response.
so if i type !followers, i have a custom command that sends me my follow count. like it would in my twitch chat.
there is no current discord bot integrations but you can suggest/upvote it here https://strms.net/ideas
@carmine flint muted for you
Wow! Thanks a bunch!
Hiya - I saw the post a little earlier about the queueing system and thought I'd give it a try. Seems to work ok but does anyone know if there is a way to actually stop someone from joining the q multiple times ? I read the docs and can't see anything
@wanton mango
can anyone help me with a obs problem
@rigid shoal Is it the same question you posted in Alpha Gaming?
na its in #helpdesk-selive
Can anyone tell me how to remove my custom chatbot from my stream chat overlay? Is there even an option to do so?
Yes. In the StreamElements Overlay Editor -> Go to your Stream Chat layer
Find this & add your Custom bot name to it & press enter & save. @plucky trellis
RobotMurican is my custom bot name.
Thank you!
No prob 
@stark furnace they should automatically be unable to join the queue if they're already in it, once they've been selected or are no longer in the queue then it's fair game. is someone joining again while already still in the queue?
Hello, i have streamelements for twitch and when i ask to launch a custom command every 30 minutes, he say the command but not launch the command. Can you help me?
(when a user say the command, the bot launch the command)
bot can not trigger its on commands this is by design to prevent loops and strain on the server
ouki thanks ^^
Depending what the command is, you might be able to use timers? If it's to trigger another command, then no, but if it's a phrase or customapi then timers could work for you.
i try for the raffle ^^
Oh then no unfortunately 
@wanton mango Ahh ok thanks very much - No I haven't tried it on stream yet. It was a "what if" question really 🙂
Hello! I just reached affiliate and got some subs, but the alerts didnt show in stream. I got the notification via my chat and activity feed, but the alerts didnt trigger. I was able to do a test one on the overlay editor and that worked in stream, but when someone actually subbed or cheered it didnt work. Any idea how I can fix this?
@lament blade No links. Please link your Twitch to your Discord and have it visible in your profile.
@real escarp Hi, I just spoke to you in the help chat on the site in regards to the DreamTeam application issue.
@livid bane sending you DM
@lament blade sign out of streamelements and sign back in
@real escarp Its possible clear my chat stats?
@real escarp I might have figured it out. I created new scenes and never updated the alerts to shutdown after activated. How would you suggest I test it to see if its working for streamers?
@lament blade you will need to DM me your JWT token first
@lament blade You can test Alerts via the bell on the lower right corner of the Overlay Editor. Simply go to your Dashboard -> My Overlays -> Pencil/edit button on the overlay. Make sure the "Show Emulated events on stream" option is on to see the alert in OBS/Xsplit https://streamable.com/h6qgy
use the red box next to the bell to see it live
Hey I had a question regarding follower alerts as well. Do new followers and new subs automatically show up as well as like your newest donator or is that something I do manually?
@real escarp It worked for the Bell when I clicked it during stream , but not when anyone actually subscribed. 😕
Yes, I see it working in OBS. So it should work now when people subscribe and stuff now?
correct
Great thank you very much 😃
So I changed all sub variation alerts recently, but I want to change them back to the default sound. How do I get the default sound back?
hey all! is there a way to customize the command for the !sr function for media requests??
Hello everyone, I was just guided from Twitter to here on the Discord. How can I share my OBS Log from last night? As I had to restart the stream a few times. I have this problem for the last streams. Everything seems fine and then at some point my OBS shows KB/s in the red and then quickly goes down to 0 KB/s at which point I appear offline for my watchers! All while my internet was totally fine at that moment. I am not sure what is causing this, but I can's stream like this with fear at any time it go down to 0 kb/s again... In fact I restarted my PC yesterday after the stream went down 2x in a row...
Is there any way to downgrade the OBS version? As it seems to be happening more and more with each new version. 😦
@proper fern Please provide a log from your last stream. To do this, in OBS go to Help > Log Files > Upload Last Log File and paste the link to the log file here.
Here is the link to the last log file, I hope this is one from the problem though. https://obsproject.com/logs/KK9KCqJtt1e3gLhR
I have another log from the actual day that it happened, but how do I upload it here?
we need a link just like you send above, but that one is empty. you can run a stream for like 30 seconds and then get the log from that stream
I think this is the one when the problems started happening. Now that interesting thing is that at that moment when it started happening I totally had internet and could browser and use Discord as well.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/qw6rkif2m9wjf1c/2019-11-03 21-03-02.txt?dl=0
@proper fern 1) Restart OBS
2) Start your stream/recording for about 30 seconds. Make sure you replicate any issues as best you can, which means having any games/apps open and captured, etc.
3) Stop your stream/recording.
4) Select Help > Log Files > Upload Current Log File. Copy the URL and paste the link here.
(Note: If you do not see an obsproject.com URL, you will need to update OBS Studio to version 22+)
@proper fern the kbps going down is your connection to twitch
@proper fern Dropped frames / disconnecting? Follow the troubleshooting steps at: https://obsproject.com/wiki/Dropped-Frames-and-General-Connection-Issues
it sounds like IPS throttling
or problems in the connection, bad cable if it's wired and the router too far if it's wifi
I stream on the wifis
madman
I am indeed

but I also can watch Netflix and stream at 4500kbps 😛
So I don't have a problem running on the wifi
the connection is anywhere from your pc to the twitch servers
same
Maybe I should change the Auto setting for the Twitch server to the closest server instead? Because right now it is on Auto for connection. I never had problems streaming on WiFi either, watching Netflix etc. without problems and playing online games. It all started happening since the latest OBS Live versions. Consistently when I start my stream in the Stream starting soon scene, it drops frames like crazy! While I am not even having any game or cam open yet O.o
Make sure you have Browser Source Hardware Acceleration disabled in Settings>Advanced.
Okay I will check if that was active or not, thank you Nethyr! 🙂
Yeah it is already deactivated, so nothing to change there 😦
Point is that OBS Live always has it disabled, I had to recompile it myself to include Browser Source Hardware Acceleration @proper fern
This is actually not accurate. OBS.Live does support browser source hardware acceleration.
Since when?
For a while now.
Silly question, is there a list of variables that I can see to input into my editor fields for the messages EG. {name} {amount} ect?
Overlay editor documentation is at https://github.com/StreamElements/widgets/blob/master/CustomCode.md
Wonderful thanks 😄
Anyone else having issues with Hypecup variations for Cheers? Go to Hypecup widget, select Cheers cog, Add Variation, add anything... shows "Successfully created variation" but nothing is actually added in the list. 
It does seem to add them, because they show up when triggered, but there is no way to edit or delete... since it's not in the list of Variations. 
I will ask around to see if this is a known bug
I just replicated it
I have found the bug task it is a known reported issue the devs are tracking. No ETA on a fix
Im sorry if im wrong here but... why could it be that animated alerts are lagging? My streaming PC never gets above 70% of CPU or GPU load. I dont get it 😪 Streaming PC: Ryzen 2600, GeForce 1060. Im confused
check your hardware acceleration | obs>settings>advanced>scroll down>check/uncheck
aside from that you could do a test stream then provide a log after about 1 minute
@rare saffron Please provide a log from your last stream. To do this, in OBS go to Help > Log Files > Upload Last Log File and paste the link to the log file here.
Thank You guys, tomorrow il check it and repost :) 👌
Is the chargeback protection free when it comes to your twitch donations?
StreamElements in its entirety is a free service.
seems like a service that would come with a price since it says subscribe to global chargeback protection
I am moving over from a different bot, and I have some very specific commands for certain users - is there anyway to do it in StreamElements - Not for the groups (Though these will be useful) - but commands for a single user only?
This is not possible with StreamElements directly. But you can try to build it with the API which pulls a line from a pastebin file and include a filter with the username: https://thefyrewire.com/docs/api/twitch/pastebin/
How do i add overlays in obs live
@lament lava To add your overlays to OBS, add a new browser source in your scene. Paste your overlay URL in the browser source properties, set the dimensions to 1920x1080 (unless you changed them on the website), and ☑ “Shutdown source when not visible” https://youtu.be/KDvLynUqXI4
Thanks
@twin sentinel Thank you. I will see if I can get my head around it
@vale vine if you need any help, feel free to reach out 
@wanton mango oh thank you - Im after a command that only a specific user could call - Possible?
This might be a good place to start: https://discordapp.com/channels/141203863863558144/199460642975907840/568224420502437899
oooh, so by using a paste bin, it can be made only for specific people? Thats pretty neat - but how far is the limit? Imagination?
Pretty much! In fact... you might even be able to put everything in a single paste. It really depends how you format things. Give me a second, I'll experiment and see if an idea I have could work
@wanton mango Thank you again - Though I am new, I will learn - Certain people have a specific sound for them, and a couple of others have a text file - just to be complicated
Ah, sounds are unfortunately not possible since this is all customapi stuff, so it only deals with text responses. || But check my Twitter for something I'm working on at the moment that's probably exactly what you're looking for
||
still waiting for “testing” access
@wanton mango Thats looking pretty good!
Though I have one last idea - could it be made, so that it would call a custom command (something like !sound156546546) - Then I can technically hide the command from all lists - with only me knowing?
For my thing or for an SE command?
How does it get triggered if no-one knows? Keywords?
Oh, Ive just thought, that wouldnt work. I was being ahead of myself and somewhere the brain stopped.
I mean, if you want a command that's pretty much only triggered by keywords and not the command name itself, then yes, you can obscure the name so much so that no one will be able to guess it
I will give some thought - it might be that I use Pastebin for now as that looks super useful for the tools. As for custom sounds. I shall wait.
Good news on that front: it worked 

You can keep all your responses in a single paste. If the commands are more complex (require variables/dynamic responses) then it's probably worth using a separate paste, but otherwise this works fine.
If I give you the paste set up and the command syntax you should be able to deduce what's going on:
!test1 command for thefyrewire
$(customapi.https://api.thefyrewire.com/twitch/pastebin/8KwyMyxH?filter=test1-$(sender))
!test2 command for someone else
$(customapi.https://api.thefyrewire.com/twitch/pastebin/8KwyMyxH?filter=test2-$(sender))
@wanton mango Defo doable - thank you!
I setup a couple of sound effects in my Loyalty Store, but when someone redeems them, they don't play through in the stream. Did I miss doing something?
Did you add a store redemption widget to your overlay?
Random question but did something change with the bot reading messages in the last few days? The bot won't read any messages for two of the streamers I mod for and they haven't made any changes
Are you both talking about the same thing here? Are we discussing commands or alerts?
Name one of the streamers you mod for.
Trikslyr
Well, you've only got bot supervisor access for that, so you can't check the TTS settings yourself.
Yea
I was just seeing if it was something that changed so I could help him narrow it down
Do you have an example recent event that didn't play TTS?
He just got a resub that didn't read. He has been live for about 30 minutes and no bit donations or resubs have been read out
His sub TTS doesn't have a voice selected.
Hmm I will try to get his attention
@strong kernel anything for Thomezord ?
@night ginkgo He also has the standard profanity filter enabled, which is actually very sensitive.
@night ginkgo This for example will trigger it for having "ass" in it.
The TTS stopped working mid-live
Not working for subs, ressubs, bits, donates and the notifications stopped showing ip
excuse me I'm trying to stream and I'm dropping frames bad! I never moved my settings and its all of a sudden bad! 😮 Ant one know why? i even restarted the internet!
@hybrid edge Please provide a log from your last stream. To do this, in OBS go to Help > Log Files > Upload Last Log File and paste the link to the log file here.
@warm egret So are you saying the alerts aren't showing at all, or is this only about the TTS?
Alerts aren't showing at all
I tested on my end and it's working fine. Are you sure he has the overlay added to OBS?
But they do show up in the chat, through "chat alerts"
He has... We were trying to solve it without restarting it...
@hybrid edge https://h4ndy.eu/obslog?url=https%3A%2F%2Fobsproject.com%2Flogs%2FJP1750ixUn5gCPZL
Internet related, nothing to do with OBS or us.
@warm egret Warn him that we're about to replay a past alert.
@strong kernel done
Same as Edubson. He just showed it all on stream and he has everything set and has the overlay on
But nothing happens
@warm egret The alerts are working fine on our end. He needs to check his setup in OBS.
We'll restart it
It's not the stream, it's the browser source.
@strong kernel thanks, you guys are sute doing a fine job here
Make sure it's not hidden, and that it's added correctly.
@night ginkgo Same. I will replay an alert. Please notify the streamer.
Is there a way to bypass the cooldown on a command?
Done
@tidal shuttle Afaik, no. Why you asking?
Trying to trace back a sound problem.
Sound problem, can you elaborate please?
Sorry, did a sound effect in the stream store, but the cooldown is 1200s. I tried resetting it to 1s, but I think the old cooldown is still running.
If the cooldown is activated, it has to be run down before the new cooldown can be activated and the sound effect used again with 1s cooldown then.
Ok, thank you.
@night ginkgo Sounds like it's working, though his setup seems to be off. It's not displaying the graphic, which tells me it's playing on a different scene than the one he's on.
Definitely have him double check his setup.
Do alerts and redemption alerts come through as web sounds, or are they routed another way?
They are played via the alertbox widget in the overlay URL.
Right, but on my computer, does it come out of OBS?
The alerts are played without any additional routing tool through the program OBS in the windows audio mixer.
Thank you. That solves it for me. 🙂
Ofc only if the overlay is active on OBS itself.
In this log is no output session.
?
Thank you for your help @strong kernel He needed to make some adjustments and everything works now
Hello! Is there a way to setup a supermod, or mod level command or something where you can "talk to text" at the streamer if needed? For example, a food & drink streamer who has her back turned to chat and ask the mod a question, a way to respond?
Ok. I'm back for round 2 of trying OBS with StreamElements. My last log showed that My CPU and GPU were overwhelmed. But I have an i5-6500, 3.2Ghz, 16GB of RAM, and an Nvidia GTX 1060. Should that be enough?
Even the highest end computer can be overtaxed if your settings are too high.
Your hardware is only one piece of the puzzle.
@dim idol There is no such a thing for only supermods or mods afaik.
Check out the StreamElements ideas board: https://strms.net/ideas. You'll be able to add ideas, upvote ideas you agree with, and track their progress with email notifications. Adding and upvoting ideas also helps the staff know which ideas should be prioritized so please take some time to upvote.
Something must be off, because I can't keep a steady 30FPS at 720p, and I'm not streaming yet. I'm just looking at the preview window
I really want to make this work. I love the layout of OBS and StreamElements
I have my video output scaled to 720P, downscale at Bilinear, and FPS set to 30.
@frail zealot Please provide a log from your last stream. To do this, in OBS go to Help > Log Files > Upload Last Log File and paste the link to the log file here.
My Renderer in the Advanced settings says Direct3D 11. Should that be DirectX 12?
If you have no idea what you are doing, I do not recommend to use the advanced settings. The normal simple settings are mostly enough to setup a stream.
Makes sense. Just trying to troubleshoot.
How do I reset my settings to Default, just to make sure I didn't mess up something?
@hybrid edge This log file also does not have an output session. Please provide these steps to get a clean log file.
@hybrid edge 1) Restart OBS
2) Start your stream/recording for about 30 seconds. Make sure you replicate any issues as best you can, which means having any games/apps open and captured, etc.
3) Stop your stream/recording.
4) Select Help > Log Files > Upload Current Log File. Copy the URL and paste the link here.
(Note: If you do not see an obsproject.com URL, you will need to update OBS Studio to version 22+)
Or should I just run the autoconfiguration wizard again?
Best to try that.
I'm going to stream and send you a new log after auto-config, but just noticed another driver update from NVidia. Gonna install, restart, and come back. 🙂
@twin sentinel what do I do now? I don't game on my PC its just capturing a window for me 😮
Follow the steps requested in the analysis. Dropped frames are not caused by OBS or StreamElements. It is your internet connection.
As a side note, while I update my drivers. I have a second PC that I have thought about using for streaming. Is it as simple as running OBS and StreamElements on both and connecting over the network?
Best to google dual PC setup for streamign and read a bit and watch YT tutorials. There is an NDI plugin you can send data via network. I cannot help here really, as I do not own a dual PC setup, just know that there are coming problems like alert audio routing and other things you need to look out for.
Gotcha. 🙂
Also, when I update my video drivers, it doesn't tell me to reboot. Should I always reboot after a driver update? Or is that no longer necessary?
I personally would always reboot after such a driver update and till now I was thinking that the driver was asking for the reboot itslef.
But if it does not ask to reboot....
It just says "You have the latest gaming driver.
If my settings are correct, should it have a steady 30FPS since I'm not streaming or recording yet?
Not sure. I cannot suggest you your best settings. It is on you to play around with the settings you know with what they are doing and maybe use the autoconfiguration tool for a first idea on how they should be.
ok. I'm going to stream and then send you a log.
Ok. Started Fortnite. Worked fine. Then launched OBS. System went to a crawl. Fortnite lagged even in the menus. Hadn't started a game yet. Then started the stream. OBS went between 30fps and 6FPS, hanging around 11FPS or so. Very laggy.
There's my log.
I have a viewer than cannot use his loyalty points. He has plenty but the bot says he doesnt have any when he tried to redeem something
Make the user log in to streamelements and then let them check their points.
So. I love the layout, theme, and options of OBS with StreamElements, but it demands WAY MORE resources than Streamlabs OBS. I have heard so many opinions that say OBS is less intensive, and that StreamElements' web interface uses less CPU. but you can see by my logs, that is not the case. Any ideas?
make all overlays shutdown when not visible and follow the instructions in the analysis on how to improve with your CPU and GPU load.
how can i use the song request in the chat?
They can either use the !songrequest/!sr command with the YT video in chat, or use the website to request a song.
