I'll double check if I did, but I don't believe so
Hey guys, did the requirements change for the chatbot name to use my own? It stopped working yesterday and I havent made changes
Hmm.. It seems to be working now. I don't remember doing that but it's also possible I did haha
Thank you very much for the help!
the streamelements bot betting (or roulette) isn't true 50/50 each bet is it. It likes going on streaks lol
or it may be and there's just some insane luck involved today but everything else (mass coin flip sights, etc.) seem to consistently have less streaks than that bot today
feel free to @ me
@burnt juniper can I poke you with a needle? 
Have you checked the winning slider for roulette?
Can I get banned for streaming on the wrong category?
Was streaming on the wrong category
Thats a question for Twitch it self, not us, but a general thing is, that most of the time, if the twitch admins or global moderators see you in the wrong category, they move you, if they feel like it.
I don't think anyone has been banned for forgetting to change their game category
About 5 months ago my twitch channel got suspended permanently but the streamelements account for that channel is still up and i would like it to be deleted but since i can't access the account i can't delete it myself.
The deletion process requires a JWT token, which is unique for every account. Without being able to login and obtain said token, the deletion process can't be done. Although, I will check with the devs just in case, but I believe its not possible.
but can't you like go into my account and check the key or something?
the name is AronXSig
@untold adder Spoke with our devs - the account is deleted
Thanks
wait i just went to the profile page streamelements.com/aronxsig but the account is still up?
Asking devs
how do i get twitch settings to have 540p 720p and 1080 p?
Thats up to Twitch and if they have free encoding spots for the quality settings.
Usually those are reserved for Twitch Partners, but affiliates can get them, if there is a free spot on the server you are streaming and if you meat the minimum requirement of it
which i believe was 10 or 15 current viewers
so i can onl;y stream in 1080p on twitch?
what should i go
Click on Settings on OBS
go to Video and change the OUTPUT option(as shown above in the screenshot) to 1280x720
and you should be fine
that good for phone users ?
yes
@woven sigil - watchtime when imported to us, needs to be converted to minutes from hours.
and then the file can be used to import points and watchtime
hey guys any reason why spam bot ban sound requests?
you need to whitelist https://youtube.com in the link protection
well, if i whitelist youtube, then everybody can link youtube videos
In that case, then instruct people to use the song name instead of the link.
Oh, thank you KeiZar. Do you have a guide or a quick fix for that? π
!sr daft punk around the world as an example.
@woven sigil reset the loyalty points leaderbaords(current and all time), go into Google Sheets, import the file there, convert the entire watch time row from hours to minutes(there is a formula)
export the file as .csv again from google sheets and then import
right, thanks for advices. i think i will just whitelist youtube. could be nice also if bot recognize !sr and don't ban for links there
Thank you so much, will try that π
Heya! I have a question - is there a way I can have the streamelements bot subbed to my channel to use emotes for commands? or do i have to manually gift a sub to the bot each month
@ancient saffron You will have to gift it a sub each month, unless you are a partner, then you can perma sub it
Anyone able to help with Media Request (OBS.Live w/ Stream Elements) -- I managed to skip tutorial, and want to get vid and aud playing on my stream, but now i cannot access it from my sources / scenes
ooo alrighty thank you!
@hardy spire If this is an issue with OBS.Live, lets move to #helpdesk-selive
sure π
Good morning! I'm just live streaming right now and my alerts are working....is the system down???? Thanks for help!
Checking
Need an Alert to Alert you when the Alerts aren't Alerting 
Can you please, go to the dashboard and logout and login again?
Im asking the devs regardless, as alerts do seem to work, but for some reason we are not seeing you as Live currently
@zenith widget can I do that if I'm streaming live???
yes
U mean the stream elements dashboard
I'm trying to speak with the devs, as this is a really strange case atm
Ok thank you:)
Due to changes to Twitch API, we have filtered out hosts and will only show these ones on your activity feed:
- All hosts coming from an online channel with at least 1+ viewer
- Auto host events with at least 1 viewer - only from a channel that just went offline
Note: If you see "X channel has hosted you" with no viewers on the back, that is considered an offline host or a host with 0 viewers, we do not show these.
@wary halo Thats not the issue at the moment.
okay π
@zenith widget any update??
Dev is looking into it.
Ok thank you:)
i have a question when using SE ground control media request.. when casting to the stream my video was good and it fit my output on my screen but now it wont fit my output nor is it displayed right, its a lil zoomed in and it judt doesnt fit output anymore cant find what is casuing it
canvas problems perhaps? try selecting the source in OBS and press ctrl-r and ctrl-f
and i need to learn how to spell LUL
its perfect on canvas on the browser overlay on SE site
Can you share a screenshot of your OBS window with the media request on the canvas?
it use too fit now its like this
its like its a diff output now
and its a lil zoomed in too
never was like that before till i lost bot settings
Disable the studio mode by selecting studio mode on the controls in OBS.
Then select your preview with a right click and make it preview scaling > scale to window
did all that
Is the video in full screen on the overlay editor and is the overlay saved?
do you by any chance use two monitors with different resolutions?
are you zoomed out on the overlay editor so you can see the whole page
I am wondeirng with the subscriber goal, is there way to start it from a set date, or does the set date start from when you create the widget? Thank you
https://streamelements.com/dashboard/session -> goals tab
#WhatHeSaid
@twin sentinel Does resetting this goal by any chance, only affect the widget, or does it affect everything else on streamelements?
yeah i use 2 diff size screens but that never effected it before
It affects your goal status. You can also enter a number there and save it, to set it to a specific value.
@little oak What is your base canvas resolution in OBS and what is your scaled canvas resolution?
in obs its set to 1600x900
@twin sentinel Oh, so it affects goal status only and not anything else on my stream elements?
nope
everything was fine before it fit my 1600x900 but now it dont and its kind cut off
maybe i messed something up ill delete overlay and create a new one
Don't delete
ok
change the resolution of the overlay back to 1600x900 then
and its should fit preferctly
also i think you CTRL+F'ed the wrong browser source in OBS
yeah i was messing around changinf it baacc and fourth
I don't mean to repeat myself, I am having a bit of difficulty undertstanding, so resetting only affects the goals is that correct?
@wise grail To reset goals:
- from the overlay editor -> data on top -> goal tab -> reset progress of desired goal
- from the dashboard -> activity feed on the left -> widget data on the right -> goals tab -> reset progress of desired goal
Note: Goal widgets(progress) only counts up and doesn't go down automatically, if you loose followers/subs
So in short - resetting in the goals tab in the session page
will affect that type of goal widget
ah i think i see
there is no starting date for the goal widget.
End date doesn't have a particular function
Thanks Keizar, I wasn't sure if it would affect any other of my data
That was where my concerned laid π
its fixed it was my music overlay set to 720\
so it was feeding 1280x720
didnt even think of the other one i had
it's perfect on obs noww, thanks for the replies 
π
Does streamelements have a way to actually play audio from a playlist onto OBS for example? I am wondering how in order to link it to a particular scene, thank you π
Media Request dock
when you showed that screen shot it made me realize the other one
or have media request open from the dashboard
OBS picks up any sounds and plays them to stream
yeah it will picc it up even had ppl tell me other stuff is playing LUL
i got a question @zenith widget
i got an answer 
ok i got a friend who uses SEOBS
OBS.Live*
well she cant see the obs logo when applying the source code so then she had to turn off the hardware acc after turning it off she can see logo but wont let her connect but when she turns hardware bacc on the logo disappears then she can stream again but no source shows?
on to off
What source code?
and what logo?
yes but she cant see it
i don't see how this is needed to stream
till she turns on hardwareacc
no clue
but when she can see it she cant stream
but
when yurning the setting off she can stream but no sorces or overlay can be seen
true
I had a folder on my PC to play music from, not music that my viewers pick
So, yeah, wasn't sure if StreamElements, could do that
I sometimes play music from Spotify - as long as OBS is set to pick up default sound device
^^
then its going to pick up spotify and any local file being played
OBS.Live has nothing to do with the audio settings in OBS
I was just hoping StreamElements could have made my music into a link so it could have synced with my scenes in OBS if that makes sense
I still haven't found a work around for that yet π
I'm not sure to what link you are referring to.
Showing the name of the locally played file?
I was hoping StreamElements could have allowed me to pick a folder that my music is in and then turn that into a link
Or just play music from my folder
Desktop audio is just getting full very quickly
@sleek fox It should be fixed - I refollowed you and I showed up in our activity feed, so an alert should have played. Unfortunately, any missed follows, won't show, unless they unfollow and follow again.
@wise grail OBS is not a music player.
and we don't have a way to play local files
Thanks Keizar, I will keep doing my research
@zenith widget ill have her @ you her name is xKtie
I might not be around in half an hour
yeah i see your schedule thats why i hopped in and asked about mine real quicc LUL
best time to catch you
all is good we will catch ya
yeap the new update dont show any of my alarts
did you log out and back in again?
yeah your name looked familiar π
it worked yesterday but i turned my pc on for the day and back to not showing up
what did we try yesterday? only the new login?
yes logged in then out
yes
do they work when you test them in the overlay editor on the website?
π€

could you provide us with a screenshot of your OBS?
@steady saddle Right click on the BrowserSource > Properties > Scroll down a bit > Refresh Cache of current page
maybe that will help?
what happens on OBS when you select "alerts" source?
yeah you can see those
yes. but when you select a source you should see the canvas for that source in your preview window
no i dont
try selecting the alerts source and unlocking it. press ctrl-r and then ctrl-f
the two other sources above the alerts source. are those fullscreen and cover everyting? try moving your alrets source up
ok. so the source should actually be visible and avaliable to OBS.
could you check the properties for the source? is the URL correct?
yes i did all that
what happens if you open that URL in a regular web browser and try to test it via the test function on streamelements.com
hmm.. ok.. I need an adult person.. @zenith widget U still on mate?
Try disabling browser hardware acceleration in the advanced settings in OBS.
dont see that in advanced
scroll all the way down
Well, I don't know what happened, I left OBS to sit on my PC for about 10 minutes and pouffe my webcam and elgato are sitting happily togehter without much difficulty :/
ok did that nothing
Restart OBS after that, too.
@wise grail why did you sit on your pc? did it brake?
LOL, LOL, they are finally getting along, albeit I posted this in streamelements rahter than OBS discord sorry
Elgato and Logitech had a huge marital argument, both locked OBS to pieces, webcam was flickering hard core in all different colours and well, Elgato wouldn't have a piece of it, simply crashed lol
Best way to describe the issue π
@twin sentinel that worked thank you so much
@wary halo @twin sentinel @cerulean escarp thank you all for the help
your welcome
@wise grail i have to make sure that the logitech software is turned of on my setup or else the cam won't show in OBS
Oooo, good tip, never knew that Ruben, well! I came to the right place
Question, how do I turn cam off, just pull it out from USB?
the camera is only active with a software pulling info from it
I noticed that though, when you start OBS, the cams automatically connect, or that doesn't matter?
if you want to turn it off during the stream then you can just simply click the camera source to not be visible π
but if you want to go all conspiracy/FBI/CIA/hacker you can pull the plug
LOL Deni, nicely said π
hahaha true
I'm streaming sword and shield on Friday, so heck a nervous
I'm doing cam for the 1st time after 2 years
I'm totally panicking because Logitech and Elgato weren't agreeing with each other almost an hour ago, so feeling the pressure
Thanks for listening to me, despite being in the wrong server, this server is much more helpful then OBS, although I probably shouldn't say such
Good teamwork StreamElements team π Thank you!!
there are probably more people here so the chance of getting help quick is higher
and we use the same stuff
Can anyone point me to the thread on how to get the OBS Media request panel to load? I've tried logging out of my twitch in PBS, refreshing the panel....help! Lol
you can't see the panel in OBS?
try asking in #helpdesk-selive π
Okty
hey team, does SE have a queue like system (outside of song requests) -- looking at joining aetherhub and other MTG sites, where players can queue up to play against me.
Take a look at this API: https://thefyrewire.com/docs/api/twitch/queue/
^ speed typer
@twin sentinel many thanks!!!! exactly what I am after π
@zenith widget thanks so much for fixing this, really appreciate it!
Hey, I'm trying to get a widget for spotify current playing but no luck. I remember there was an option in streamelements too, but its not there anymore
@earnest lynx Spotify has kindly asked us to disable our integration with them, so we complied. This means that the Spotify integration has been removed and the "Now Playing" widget no longer has it as an option.
Oh, so there's no alternative for this ?
no.
π¦
Oof, OBS doesn't want to co-operate with me sadly π¦
what's the problem?
ow and this is the Twitch helpdesk, so we could discuss the problem in #helpdesk-selive
π
Hello, is this the right place to report an issue with StreamElements Leaderboards extension?
I have a viewer that subscribed 2 months in a row but doesn't appear at all in the top subs category. He also gifted a sub and he does appear in the top gifter category.
Hey, I used to be able to run ground control and push it to use my stream account with the oauth so that I could have commands incorporate emotes... Recently I've been unable to get it to send messages as anything other than streamelements, is this a change I missed?
@grim kiln Restart Ground Control and it should work as before π
Cheers Sean ill give that a go next time
@unborn portal If a user doesn't appear as a sub it usually means that they haven't shared their subscription
Twitch prime (new and resub) and paid subscriptions (resub only) must be shared in chat manually by the person subscribing in order for the subscription information to be sent to StreamElements. For twitch prime, the user needs to have sharing enabled on https://www.twitch.tv/settings/prime. For paid subs, if the share box doesn't show up immediately it will when they refresh the page. https://i.imgur.com/VNJN0Uv.gif https://i.imgur.com/2297EA7.png
okay, thanks for the quick answer π
hello
Hello, my overlay url isn't working it'll emulate in the editor but not on the url thus not on obs. No idea what happened.
@dusty pike 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
my obs says failed to connect to twitch....and i cant stream atm
Our website https://t.co/Z9F2dM5HFM will be unavailable in a few minutes for server maintenance. You will be unable to link your Twitch account with OBS during this time.
@round bramble That information is not helpful :/
Make sure the "Show Emulated events on stream" option is on to see the alert in OBS/Xsplit
Thing is it doesn't even emulate on the browser just in editor no where else, and the layer isn't hidden. i have even made a new test overlay with the default alerts and still doesn't show.
is there any of you who knows how to fix the "failed to get token from remote: connection timed out after 5000 miliseconds"?
Our website https://t.co/Z9F2dM5HFM will be unavailable in a few minutes for server maintenance. You will be unable to link your Twitch account with OBS during this time.
Have you checked the checkbox next to the emulation bell? @dusty pike
ahhh i see
Ahh, That explains it.
but thats more than 10 hrs ago though
It's not connecting to my Port. Perhaps it's Down for the Count?
yeah i cant connect to any server
hehe i cant stream as well..what do i do with my life now? π
@pale arch For the best OBS support, please join their Official Discord @ discord.gg/obsproject
@twin sentinel Thank you, i'm an idiot.
how long are the servers offline?
Nothing we can do about it at this time. Please be patient and wait for a status upadate from OBS.
hey so i imported date from streamlabs and in trying to reset the import, the data stacked on top of itself and now it seems that instead of my top D having a $900 donation he has a $3600 donation
i want to get on stream today but can't as I'm dealing with this issue and cant find a "reset revenue" button
sry for the inconvenience, i should have been more careful
Asking internally on your issue.
Your data have been reset. Try to import again more carefully now. π
hahah thanks! will do
@jolly hamlet
new Update on the issue: https://twitter.com/OBSProject/status/1194675096050393088
Unfortunately we've run into an issue preventing the server from coming back online. We're working as fast as we can to fix this. If you're having issues starting your Twitch or Mixer stream, you can unlink your account and use the stream key instead.
that was a lot easier than i thought it'd be, switching to SE was definitely the right move β€
i dont know how to use my stream key?
@jolly hamlet For the best OBS support, please join their Official Discord @ discord.gg/obsproject
that doesnt work
Have you asked the OBS community on your issue?
@jolly hamlet please don't ask in multiple discord servers π
I'm here for you bud but asking on multiple places at the same time causes more confusion.
i was told to ask on the obs discord
Yes and I'm answering you over there.
How do i edit my follower goal to decrease it by 1?
@lament blade To reset goals:
- from the overlay editor -> data on top -> goal tab -> reset progress of desired goal
- from the dashboard -> activity feed on the left -> widget data on the right -> goals tab -> reset progress of desired goal
Note: Goal widgets(progress) only counts up and doesn't go down automatically, if you loose followers/subs
Goddamn you Benno 
hi
hey
i have a minor issue that perhaps you can help me with if possible please
i dont wanna change the goal though
@left nova What's the issue
π
when i go into setting then to stream to connect my twitch i click connect account all i get is a window with a white screen
and then nothing happens

ohhhh so its their side
yep
ah ok thank you very much for your time
np
π
you say i can use my stream key i have tried that and nothing
@left nova For the best OBS support, please join their Official Discord @ discord.gg/obsproject
I can verify that the streamkey works so the problem has to be on your end. Make sure to get the key from your dashboard
Anyone else having issues with OBS not authenticating ?

i tried to use my key and still it did not work i even reset my key and still wont connect
I'm having this same issue now
my friend runs ptg gaming and he does not have any problems
@left nova You went to https://www.twitch.tv/broadcast/dashboard/streamkey and copied your key via the button on the right side?
And you entered it here?
yes
and when i click connect account it opens a window that is all white and wont do anything else
No. Do NOT click on "Connect account"
This exact thing is broken right now
Just enter the key and click on "Okay" at the bottom right
i also clicked apply then tried to start stream and witn wont start my stream
Show me a screenshot of your settings please (With the stream key hidden)
@lament blade Unfortunately, due to lack of use, development time to update Ground Control for Mac was diverted to other projects. At this point, as it's not commonly used, we do not have an ETA for when it will return.
So you click on "OK" and then "Start Streaming". What happens after? Do you get an error?
nothing the start streaming button goes gray and nothing else happens
Okay then go to Help > Log Files > Upload current log and post the link in here
That is weird 
Please restart OBS and try to connect your account again π
Hello everyone, i have an interesting problem to solve. I followed the guide to make my streamelements chatbot have a custom name. Its already a mod, its there in my channel, i switched the donation thing to go through streamelements and my paypal, its checked and working fine. Everything is set up. I open ground control, go to settings, rename my bot. i generate that oauth token or whatever that is. I hit test bot button - And it does respond in my channel - but with MY name, and not with the given bot name. Anyone have any ideas? I tried everything.
ok that is working now thank you very much for your help
o7
@dense cargo Have you generated the authentication token with your newly created bot account and enterd this in your GroundControl bot field?
i assume i did, but let me re-do it.
yes, just generated a new one, copied, hit test button, still talks in my name.
standby
2) type command !sedebug see if custom bot is = true
3) SE dashboard PART and in chat !bot remove (wait till not listed in viewers)
4) SE dashboard JOIN bot
5) obs live switch to no custom bot name
6) obs live turn back on custom bot name send test```
i have one more walk through is that doesnt work
Hey guys. How to. manually resize widgets? whenever I do them manually, parts of the widget become hidden.
What widget are you referring to?
Hey guys, my overlays are really weird right now
I opened obs and saw that all my streamelement overlays are in the top left corner
but when i check streamelements its normal
can you share a screenshot?
ah that might be the fix
no
it doesnt fix it
it re-appears
after switching
the second screen is on streamelements overlay editor
Can you try to delete and readd the source with the overlay to your OBS please?
thank you guys my problem is solved too. i did not know i need to make a tw account for my bot as well. thanks again and enjoy the rest of your day!
sorry but how do i make my bot have my twitch name? it seems like the option is gone from 1 day to another for me...
I will try to get hold of a staff to take a look at this.
thank you! π
feel free to tag me if you find anything about it, i use this feature a lot!
@untold spindle close and open GC
oh nice it just reappeared this time i restarted
I'm buffering 24/7
i did restart before but it was just not there anymore, this time it worked! thanks π
@lone sky Buffering?
Yess
Can you elaborate please?
Elaborate?
yeah that is twitch problem
^^
can't do anything about that
maybe your connection is bad, or the servers are lagging
it's not a streamelements issue
so you want to watch a stream on twitch from someone else right?
and it is lagging and probably giving you an error like #2000 or #5000?

I have a store question if someone can help out please.
@sinful nexus 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.
i have a store item that is the only item in my store that send someone to log into their stream elements and then buy it. Why is that? every other one just redeemed in the panel store
As items may cost points or are only made for a specific user level, we need the user to log in to their StreamElements account, to check these abilities.
why is this item different then others?
You always have to log in to redeem an item.
or grant the panel access so it can see your points
this is the only item in my store that requires this. only reason im confused
which item
all 6 just told me to login
its just a normal stream perk
from my twitch panels
none has anyone log in but that one
which perk
last night while streaming people using my store in my panels could redeem any of them but that one
the holiday one
just made it free if you want to try again
so they have to log in stream elements to input a address?
if they !redeem in chat
they dont have to login anywhere
if they redeem in panel or site they must login for us to check for points and username
free or not free, address or no address
okay so to make things easy they should !holiday to bypass the login
are you trying to mail cards
they must log in... everything redeemed is tracked with a username in store redemptions
okay thank you! so for that item ill need them to login. Just the others they wont need too. Every other one works perfectly without a login if they just click redeem in panel store
correct
thanks a ton for clearing that up!
hey everyone! I am having some issues where my widgets for new followers/subs doesn't disappear after I tell it to, or do any of the animations. As well as that, I don't understand how to reset a timer I have for counting down to my stream starting. It just starts at whatever time it wants even when I have set it on a specific time
do your widgets work on your dashboard when you test them?
countdown timer starts as soon as the scene is loaded | if you have "disable when not visible" it will restart every time that scene becomes active
@wary halo they don't. That's brilliant @real escarp
you will need to add the alert box widget to your overlay
what is your twitch username just the name
Zippignome
I'll go make sure to add the aler box!
alert*
Yeah, realized I didn't. That would have been super helpful. This is my first time using this as I'm sure with this inquiry it was obvious
here watch some of these https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLCDDKlFdScbEwdx5AntcQIS1InkFJwHtv
Guys, does SE have Event List feature? A list of my recent followers, subs, donates etc. ?
Yes. Check in the widgets tab in the overlay editor. It is called Event list
Hi, Can someone help explain to me why my Ground Control no longer has Custom Bot Name under settings?
Have changed nothing at all....
@lament blade I will try to get a staff to look at this.
@twin sentinel Thank you. Just random as hell. Was working like 2 days ago. Started streaming this evening and noticed it is gone
@lament blade Please restart GroundControl and the option sould be back.
Dam, it is as well. That was quick. What happened to cause it?
is it possible to list every single follower from a session in individual slots?
Let me explain better than that. I want to be able to show every single follower who was followed me in one stream, but don't want a giant list of names in order, but instead want to be able to put each individual who followed me into their own area on an overlay
not possible with widgets provided
very well
@acoustic turtle 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.
@acoustic turtle it's technically possible with some local custom CSS in OBS, but it's probably more hassle than it's worth, and it would always show the last X followers, not for each stream
@wanton mango as custom CSS it would take a good while to make it possible. There are ways of getting around showing the last followers. I have multiple transition scenes that are nearly identical and all worded specific to their title. One scene identical layout, has far less alert widgets for that exact reason. lets say one stream you get 1 follower, the next you get 10. I only go in even numbers as it would be a lot of work to keep up with 1,2,3 etc. I have a layout for 5,10,20,30,40 and 50. I placed them in a way that makes it really easy to slide between. I also keep my statistics page open and before I end a stream, I refresh it and see how many new followers I gain and choose from the appropriate closest number
for instance if I have 35 new followers, I just use the 30 scene and then shout out the individuals who were not on it
this is spit balling ^ I personally love the feedback I've found here
What I did was make an overlay with just multiple recent follower widgets, disabled the scrolling and then in OBS, applied custom css to target individual widgets and remove every name except the last follower, or the second to last follower, etc, etc. So essentially each widget turned into a 'last follower' slot
@wanton mango that's brilliant
Here's the CSS for that:
#widget-1 se-widget-follower-recent span:not(:nth-child(1)) {
display: none;
}
It's probably important to make a fresh overlay with only recent follower widgets, as other widgets may mess up the numbering
Then just duplicate that snippet as many times as you have widgets, incrementing the number at the start (in the blue) and at the end (in the red/orange)
get out of town
No, stay right here, thefyrewire. π
CSS πͺ
If it wasn't for other people helping me, I believe I would get far, but at some ridiculous costs. Thankfully ya'll never had to worry about me being a cave man, because I wouldn't have invented anything of use
@wanton mango You're a legend

alright another question. I am trying to upload an image and I click upload and nothing happens
do I need to refresh the editor>?
What browser are you using?
edge
Try it on chrome please.
Hi guys, my option to change custom bot name in groundcontrol has disappeared? Is that something I should be resetting somehow?

Hello. I am the only one that can enter my !raffle for points nobody else wins. Can you help?
It is like SE is not recognizing my viewers typing !join
Set the !join command to be used by everyone.
@wanton mango how did you get into the custom CSS on obs? Did you implement you're own coding into it? I'm beginner + when it comes to this
When you add the overlay browser source, there is a CSS option field.
Please Help! Ive had this issue for a while and none of the "fixes" on the internet work. I get alerts for follows and subs ~ but my raid and host alerts don't work. And I set up a point store. But my followers cant redeem it. Even if they go to the store page
I do not see an !join command in the commands list! @twin sentinel
It is in the default commands, most likely set to user level moderator.
@sullen cobalt Due to changes to Twitch API, we have filtered out hosts and will only show these ones on your activity feed:
- All hosts coming from an online channel with at least 1+ viewer
- Auto host events with at least 1 viewer - only from a channel that just went offline
Note: If you see "X channel has hosted you" with no viewers on the back, that is considered an offline host or a host with 0 viewers, we do not show these.
@sullen cobalt Do they get an error message when they try to redeem it?
Thanks. That makes sense. But it doesnt work even if there are viewers. And no error message. It "goes through" but it doesn't show up anywhere on my end. Even if I look at reception history. Its worked 1 time and never since then.
Have you added the store redemptions widget to your active overlay?
Was the host listed in your activity feed? Be aware that we do not show hosts from an offline channel.
Hey im having a issue, i tried streaming on youtube but i want to go back to twitch but when ever i start up my stream with twitch selected it brings up a pop up that says "start streaming to youtube"
Select StreamElements at the top > Log out and log back in with twitch.
o thanks so much i thought you were able to switch back and forth from going to Settings> Stream: and then selecting the given platform! thanks for the help @twin sentinel
I am running into a similar issue where in ground control, it no longer has my custom bot name under settings. this I just noticed today, and my last stream it worked fine. I restarted the app, restarted my computer. I even uninstalled ground control and tried to reinstall it (version 1.7.1) and still not seeing the custom bot name option
@cyan island this is a known issue the team are aware of
ok
Ground control change bot name missing???
@halcyon falcon yep this is a known issue the team are aware of
ETA??
currently no eta
@normal igloo I was here for the same reason. Is there a fix we can do so the Bot name appears again?
apart from trying to restart ground control I know as much as you do I'm afraid π¦
I fixed it the other day, but now I can't find where to put the Token info
Was there an intended change in the overlay editor that now requires layers to be unlocked before settings can be viewed...?
I've got a custom alert box ("ticker" style) that shows up correctly in overlay editor and everything works when I send tests in the editor. I've verified its not hidden, but it won't show up on stream. Other layers are appearing from the same overlay and this box doesn't have any layers on top of it. Any thoughts?
Have a question for you guys: I have a custom bot set up through Ground Control, but Ground Control doesn't always load it. Anything to be done? I've included a screenshot:
@still glacier this is a known issue the team are aware of
Right-on, thanks @normal igloo !
np π
@strange summit yes they do need to be unlocked before settings can be viewed
Hey so im having an issue where when i switch scenes while live my chat box is moving on the obs scene but im not changing it on the overlay
Hi guys, I have a base animation. See here ( https://gyazo.com/8f7de1714427b8b1f3137c6e73380b78 ).
Is it possible (through StreamElements), to have the base animation consistently play, and when a certain action (Follower, Subscription, Cheer, Donation) happens, the animation switches to ANOTHER animation that I have?
For example: The base/idle animation is looping. Someone follows the stream, so the Follow Animation plays, then goes back to the base/idle animation afterwards
Hey there i was wondering if i could get some help on something with the streamelements bot
is there a way for someone to tip an amount to have a video play on stream when they tip?
yes its called media request @upper steeple
i know that, i meant how do you set up for the video to show when the tip happens
Did a recent update delete my customized bot name?
Plz tag me in reply! Thx!
It was perfect then went back to saying SE which is just impersonal af
Still no bot rename fix????
@granite hinge Can you record or show how it moves? You can use Studio mode to show both scenes, but I suspect that most likely the overlay in the other scene is moved a bit.
@twin spoke That would require custom coding unfortunately.
@unkempt berry What exactly do you need help with?
@upper steeple A specific requested video by the user or 1 video set by you for all eternity?
@stone leaf 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.
@halcyon falcon @coarse heath are you both using Ground Control?
@zenith widget a tipped video and is there a way for it to appear after the tip alert happens?
Only via Media Request
Yes @zenith widget ... to be clearer, it was working perfectly then went back to saying SE... I had to have ground co trip to have it work in the first place. I still do have ground control
restart ground control now π
I tried that
try it right now
I will try again tomorrow
π
Iβm no longer at my PC... thanks bunches @zenith widget !
@granite leaf Please restart GroundControl. The bot name should be able to edit there again.
mine lost its custom name setting too, restarting ground control isnt showing the original auth settings at all
try now
well that was quick lol, its there now

Is StreamElements compatible with broadcasting software other than OBS?
Any, to a degree - recently found out vMix exists and that it needs a browser source update to V67 to work with our overlays.
I'm thinking software like Xsplit etc, OBS has been giving me headaches, so I am considering on exploring software other than OBS
Yes
Thank you.
But note that XSplit is paid, so any premium feature you have issues with, we might not be able to help much
But I do know that some browser source version in XSplit has issues with our overlays, but don't remember which version it was
Yeah, I just wish OBS wasn't ful of holes
If OBS was willing to explore a paid option to make their software more stable and compatiable then I would pay
OBS stands for Open Broadcast Software - they are open source and basically its a 1 man show with some other developers helping on the side.
Maybe it's just something you learn over time, to fill those holes ;)
Not with Elgato and Logitech crashes
OBS has came a long way tbh
I had to hire a home computer tech today to resolve the issue
Logitech and Elgato were having marital issues, so we had to find a loophole, so we systemically rotate the 2 Elgato scenes and when one crashes we input in the other scene
Have you tried the Elgato Discord asking for help with their product?
Its resolved now with thanks to my computer tech
It was just getting too much with it being so close to my 24 hour stream tomorrow
We also didn't know if the issue was with Logitech or with Elgato
So there was no way to know until the tech looked at it
My camera has now been set at frames and resolution that it is happy with π
Good to hear it works now!
Thank you π
Not sure if this is the right place....
but I may be missing something or am just dumb... but can anyone tell me how to make the gift-sub alert only read the number of gifted subs rather than each one individually (named) when it's like a 'gift bomb'?
So like instead of it naming each person that was gifted with an individual alert, it's showing only the number of gifts and names the gifter.
Are you using the solo gift variation or the community gift variation for the alert?
I've been using the solo one... I didn't realize there was a community varient
π
Community Gift variation has been a thing since the option came out more or less π
alright, thanks. I'm just blind I guess lol! derp
Hey , i have a hudge problem , obs dont show me my game frome 1 till the other momnent
i deinstalled everything and reinstalled but still the same problem
can u help me+
and apex is open atm normaly i get a preview there
run OBS as admin
i did o_=?
Hey. I can't get TTS to work for subscribers. What should I do
did you click "Ok"?
Have you checked the variations, too?
no, where is that?
After selecting the event in the alertbox settings in the lower left there is a card for variations.
I see
and what does that have to do with anything
im dub
dumb
thank you for help!
i figured it out
why i see the game in the preview but not when iam in the game on normal stream :/
Did you click "Ok" on the game capture settings?
because from last screenshot, it looks like you haven't closed the game capture properties yet
yes sure i did
how do I make it so that my emulated alerts don't show up on my "Top Tip" etc.
and you are sure you ran OBS as admin?
yes
actually just give me the log file
@vocal imp 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 last stream log file - current log file
Click on the source and press Ctrl+R to reset the transformation
Hey guys, quick question, how can I merge two channels? I had a twitch channel, set up the overlays and everything, and then I made a YT channel. When I signed onto OBSlive, I entered connect YT channel, which I did, but now OBSlive is treating them as two separate accounts. When I try to connect one to the other, it says that channel is already claimed...
thanks!
@ashen hollow Can you DM me your twitch and youtube name and the two JWT token of these accounts. I will get a staff to merge these two.
Also name which account you want to be your primary account in the DMs please.
@ashen hollow You can find your JWT token on your account channels page ("Show Secrets" to reveal the token): https://streamelements.com/dashboard/account/channels
READ ME:
This is a private security token. Do NOT share this token here or other public places, only with a StreamElements staff member in private.
Hey guys, anyone know how I make it so mediashare only starts playing after the donation alert is over? at the moment the mediashare starts playing right away so the alert/tts just gets messy since they both play at the same time
@terse venture 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.

Hey guys, I need some help: My top tipper list doesn't refresh automatically
Anyone?
greeting, i am currently streaming on twitch and t6he SE dashboard seems to have issues, it says i am still offline, so i get no overlays working/updating
hi, last time my streamelements name bot is changed in my ground control, but now my ground control setting doesn't have that setting and gone.. now my bot name back to streamelements
I saw that the bot replied to me does that mean there is no solution?
can someone help me?
did you guys just talk to each to type here at the same time 
@orchid prairie Restart Ground Control
@terse venture There is no solution, but its a good idea to have MR wait for the alert.
Chances are that KeiZar fixed it while you were taking that screenshot π
yes it very high chance to get fixed π
(It helps when people connect their Twitch account with Discord
)
Old or new one - doesn't matter to me i find what i need with just a name
@orchid prairie poking devs
ooh oops wrong ping

@kindred oar poking devs
THX
I'm not the dev π
Don't let them know! 
@zenith widget when someone donates, the list doesn't refresh instantly, I need to open the overlay at the website and save again
You may only need to refresh the browser source only
to let the overlay reload the widget.
Hi, I got an issue with the bot system
I wanted to remove the account of my bot and just use my normal account as bot but it doesn't let me change it and now when i type in a command it doesn't even responds even with streamelements being a moderator
Are you using GroundControl or OBS.Live for the bot rename?
For OBS.Live:
1) Right click on your OBS desktop shortcut -> properties - in the "Target" field add this -> --remote-debugging-port=40404
2) Open OBS(or restart if it was open)
3) Open your browser and type in "localhost:40404"
4) Click on "StreamElements - Activity feed"
5) navigate to the Console tab
6) type in the console this: store.customBot.removeCustomBotIntegration() and hit enter
7) Try setting the custom bot name
Make sure to add the bit at the end of 1 at the end of the existing target instead of replacing what's already there
If you want to use GroundControl, let me know, so I can inform a staff to take a look at this issue.
i cant find the target that yourΓ© speaking of
When you right click the shortcut on your desktop > properties. Then you get something like this:
yes
then add it at the end of the target field.
it is on your browser.
Hello. Since last update my layout from editor is broken each time when I switch scene. OBS standard.
Can you share a screenshot of your OBS window please?
I've tried to reproduce problem but I can't. Refreshing source solve problem once (until scene is changed)
and it looks like that
(i wanted to describe my problem first before posting img π )
ah it worked Benno have a nice day and thanks for helping
@fallen finch Can you dm me the overlay url please?
yup, sec
Right click on the BrowserSource > Properties > Scroll down a bit > Refresh Cache of current page
this is the only way to fix that layout once
It only resolves it, till you switch to another scene and back?
Please try to delete the browser source in OBS and readd it please.
Also what is your accountId and what is the overlay name in your overlay overview?
Please provide your account ID found at the top of this page: https://streamelements.com/dashboard/account/channels This ID is public info and safe to share here.
5c9697340560a013125bef01
ingame (ingame)
postΓ³j (bigger cam / brb)
the problem started appearing since yesterday (after update described on #270206314561404928 channel)
Has the complete delete and readd of the browser source fixed the issue?
nope, still broken
@fallen finch 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
Try that please ‴οΈ
@zenith widget hereβs a clip from last might. I noticed to after this. https://clips.twitch.tv/WrongElatedDoveTheRinger
The fix was to literally just save again in SE but it kept breaking again after changing scenes
The chat is way off as you can see
I imagine alerts would have been too if one triggered
@granite hinge This is your overlay right?
@fallen finch Do you have "shutdown when not visible" on the browser source?
@granite hinge same question to you tbh
can you remove the option from the browser source
switch scenes and see if that helps?
My overlays broke today, not sure why. I tried everything.. finally deleting browser source and reading it worked. Interesting thing is I have 2 overlays. I only deleted one browser source and readded. Then the other starting working to? Obs live.
i can try however in the past when leaving that on I hear multiple alerts and the usage on CPU goes way up
- for the sake of testing
- you can always have the alert widget on its standalone overlay.
and just copy + paste the browser source as reference in all scenes
eliminates the multiple sounds
okay at work now but will try later tonight. thanks for the suggestion
@leaden wraith Can you elaborate on how they are broke? Like what was the issue before you readded the source?
The noise would trigger but no image on stream
It was very odd. It was on top layer
Not hidden etc
Sorry what noise, the alert noise?
After readding everything is fine now for both overlays?
Yah. Everything is okay now. I just wanted to feed back
The alert noise played. But nothing displayed
If that happens again, please let us know and we'll investigate further.
Mmmmkay
@zenith widget yup, trying to save resources
(replying to msg)
Do you have "shutdown when not visible" on the browser source?
Can you remove/uncheck that option and see if that eliminates the issue please?
sec
was afk for a while
@twin sentinel @zenith widget unchecking it solved the problem
now only works without closing and/or refreshing source
So only the shutdown option is allowed to be enabled to get the overlay back working?
both options need to be unchecked
Close source, when not visible
Refresh browser, when scene are activated
Translation from polish ^
I saw some posts saying that the Ground Control custom bot name issue was fixed and to restart GC, I did that, and still don't have the custom bot name, restarted computer too, still nothing, any thoughts?
@cyan island someone needs to fix something at the back end so i will let staff know and ping you when it's fixed
ah ok, thank you
Btw, tkanks Benno & KeiZar
even after an OBS restart you still have to uncheck the shutdown when not visible to get it working?
Yup
Before update it worked like a charm
Now it works but needs to be unckecked
I must verify if there's no sound duplication when alert will be displayed
Can you try to enable the option again and clear the cache with the button at the buttom please? A dev just made some changes, to see if it fixes the problem.
Then switch the scenes please and see if the issue still occures.
changed my name on Twitch and none of the streamlabselements commands are working, can anyone help me?
Part the bot from your dasboard and make it join your channel again.
What is your old and what is your new name?
@cyan island open ground control now
@twin sentinel Former: Pardal_union
New: Pardal_mitrax
working after the part and join if the bot?
@real escarp I see it now! thank you
Part the bot, log out of the dashboard, log back in and make the bot join again please.
how do i separate?
separate?
unlink
i don't know if im blind, but is there anyway i can see the top tipper of a certain month? there doesn't seem to be a date range filter under the "Top Tippers" part of Revenue History
@twin sentinel Ty π
@real escarp does that only work for the current month/last 30 day though? is there a way i can find out who my top tipper of march 2019 was?
With a bit of work you can set the dates and name in the revenue history and add the entries.
yeah i was trying to avoid doing the math π¦
no easy way to do it
but you should suggest filters like that on the dashboard here https://strms.net/ideas
How long does it take for streamelements to update my subscriber count/goal? Every time i get a new sub it counts up, but its way off with the actual subcribers count on my twitch dashboard
@torpid mulch To reset goals:
- from the overlay editor -> data on top -> goal tab -> reset progress of desired goal
- from the dashboard -> activity feed on the left -> widget data on the right -> goals tab -> reset progress of desired goal
Note: Goal widgets(progress) only counts up and doesn't go down automatically, if you loose followers/subs
This is about the "Hypecup" - i want the cup to tip over, so i put on the physics - then i see that there is 2 version - v1 and v2 (beta) - now my question what should i use for the best effect ?
StreamElements at the top in OBS > Log out and log back in.
Will try that. gimme a min
hi! i've been using streamelements for a while and chat alerts were working. Now when somebody follows, chat alert doesn't work anymore.
new followers aren't showing up on my stream elements dashboard either o_O going to guess that's the problem?
Try the same for starters, I guess.
alrighty i will try that, thanks
showing now
cool thanks
@upbeat hazel We have taken a look at your account and the follower alerts should be back up working again.
Any way to add a keybind for creating clips or markers?
documentation is there /marker for editors however last person to try it with a command or even making someone editor didnt work in chat
creating clips we have an custom api hold on
I meant just like I do it with the media request pause, volume up, etc
hi
@tropic knoll I will try to get a staff to fix your custom bot name in ground control.
fixed! Thank you very much!
omg that's literally the fastest fix I've ever gotten
you guys are awesome!
then are the merch comming up
@jolly steppe Merch is in closed beta at this time. We will make sure that you notice when Merch is up. Take an eye on the #announcements and #270206314561404928 channels.
ok
@twin sentinel thank you it worked!
Having similar issues with GC as well. Bot just doesn't show up as of yesterday. Didn't change anything. Restarted multiple times.
I will try to get a staff to fix your custom bot name in ground control.
Thank you π
Good morning. I also noticed my bot name was missing in Ground Control. I have tried restarting it as above posts have mentioned.
I will try to get a staff to fix your custom bot name in ground control.
@green kettle @terse salmon Please restart GroundControl. The bot name option should be back up running.
Its there now. Thanks!
thank you! I'll restart it
@burnt sky To your question about the two versions of the physics:
The difference is only the weights of the items has been adjusted a bit. Best to try out what fits you best.
Thank you so much
a nice quick fix
No ETA at this time @slender anvil We will let you know in the #announcements or #270206314561404928 channels.
@slender anvil are you in the beta? or are you asking for someone else?
just do it
Is there some ongoing issue with botname stuff in GC? I see a few issues with it here and a friend of mine has a problem with her bot right now, I checked mine and also I can't see custom bot name stuff? The option isn't even showing?
can she come in here?
she's streaming at the moment 
what is her name?
welokay
let me ask around π
thanks!
Is there a countup variable for SE? so a countdown variable tracks timeuntil, I'd want to track time since a certain point, like someone's birthday for example
maybe someone made it in #widget-share or you could ask someone to make one in #dev-chat
because i don't believe there is a default one
Ok, thanks 
@vivid wadi she can log out and back in to ground control, should be fixed
Thank
Can i have any help with streamelements bot
how can i change the name of the bot on the streamelelments website does any one know?
@lament blade 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
oh am on mac so it wont work for me?
Custom bot name doesn't work on Mac
hello I have a question
sup?
ok thanks @twin sentinel will it be coming soon?
Is it possible for donations via paysafecard from viewers to be instantly transferred to my paypal account?
Hello, is there anything that you can add to your stream that counts upwards? Like in hours, min and seconds?
i have another question
@tropic cosmos If you are using se pay and it's available in your country yes
@lament blade I am not sure if there is any ETA on the custom bot name on mac.
@lament blade Just shoot it.
@dense beacon like up time?
Yes it is available in Poland where I come from and you can explain where I should set it because I have no clue /.
Ruben 
Yeah @normal igloo
thx tho Ruben bro 
hi guys when i edit a overlay i copy the url of it then paste it in a browser in obs but its cut off most of the overlay why is that?
I want it to be visable all the time @normal igloo
@dense beacon I believe we do have that in #widget-share
on se pay I have written that payment is impossible and hence my question why it is not possible?
i am in it @wary halo
@lament blade it can have multiple causes, is the resolution of the overlay set right?
@lament blade 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 β βShutdown source when not visibleβ https://youtu.be/KDvLynUqXI4
thx Benno 
i mean i got messages in twitch so 
and you don't have the beta tester role as well
ok thanks @wary halo
@tropic cosmos do you meet all the requirements for se pay?
hwo are you guys mods of the server? hwo do you become staff off streamelements
Yes, I meet all requirements
Your account is ready, you can now receive tips via SE.Pay.
@lament blade work hard an be nice
okay
but for several days I have a pending amount but I have no idea what?
The amount available for withdrawal is lower than the minimum withdrawal
@lament blade your links in your discord profile don't go to the right page π
Take a look at the settlement time: https://streamelements.com/dashboard/tipping/fees
So with paysafecard the waiting time is 16-21 days?
what link?
@lament blade Please connect your streaming account (Twitch, YouTube, or Facebook) with Discord by going to β Settings and then Connections here in Discord. https://streamable.com/eg92w
this ^^
ok thanks will do it now
there is a twitch link, but it's not right π
@tropic cosmos yes it is 16-21 days.
@wary halo done it
why doesnt the twitch chat come up on my stream labs anymore?
@dull glen 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.
