Do they actually help here?
I saw people talking on this one lol not YouTube so I'll swap to that one. Apologies
is streamelements working?
hello alright i wanted to ask if you can edit the streamelements dashboard? How to draw graph
"upstream connect error or disconnect/reset before headers. reset reason: connection failure" on main page so safe to say its down atm lol
yep
a moment, we are checking
Wait it's down?
my media request broke, usually happens when the main site dies
Yeah Iโm getting the same error message
site works api doesnt connect tho
Yeah it seems that something is wrong, but i get the feeling that it might be Twitch's fault
It said "streamelements is running" in chat but nothing after that
Typical, all fine now lol
@wary halo might want to look at YouTube if you can it might be both
done ๐
just checking, but is anyone else getting double responses on chat commands?
@ocean gate are you using ground control?
Good night guys! I need some help!
I need to change the payment settings, cause i cannot recieve donations on my country currency, only on US$ or EU$!
Can anyone help me?
@chrome folio not me, but the streamer I mod for, she's using OG OBS afaik
I need help just not on my twitch side ๐

@lament blade 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.
Thank you
My doubt is, can i set 2 or more currency to recieve donations on my channel, cause i have donators ho have 3 different currency types, on my stream!
kind of dollar, euro and real!?
like*
@silver hound are you using SE.Pay or Paypal on the StreamElements Tips (https://streamelements.com/dashboard/tipping-settings) ?
@lament blade tell us your question ... ๐
@chrome folio is that all sorted now? Thanks if it is!
@ocean gate apparently yes, if it occurs again try to remove the bot from the stream and return.
Go to the dashboard -> right side -> part channel -> join channel (https://streamelements.com/dashboard)
@chrome folio my viewer count isnt updating at all. im almost at affiliate so i have my friends watching right next to me to get my viewer count up to an average of three. ive been live for 2 hours with no change in viewer count. stuck at one. please help
That is a Twitch issue, nothing StreamElements related
we can't do anything about that
@lament blade i want have a option to recieve a tip in any currency avaliable on the tip page, cause people try to donate in BRL, and they recieve a negative message, ho are not possible to do! =/
@silver hound show us the screenshot with the error, please.
@lament blade tell us your question ... ๐
@chrome folio
So everything is perfectly fine on my twitch, but on the YT side its saying no activity even with new subscriber it usually pops up in chat and it's not as of the past few days. It was working fine but no timers, commands or 8ball are even working. Just says its offline
@chrome folio so, just part and rejoin, yeah?
When Im in obs.live, Im just sorting out my labels. They keep stopping when they are scrolling, any ideas?
@ocean gate yes. She didn't answer about the Ground Control or OBS.live, so i think she is using only OBS.live. If she is using both applications, tell her not to use it to avoid having this kind of duplicity content (or other issues), in the same way if she has two Ground Control sessions open on Windows (she can see this in the task manager and close all open Ground Control applications).
If there are any other errors or repeat the case, contact us here. ๐

Hi there! I've created a new alert, deleted old alert variations, and the streamer that I mod for is neither getting follower alerts nor are we seeing them pop up on screen. We're confused.
I assume that @prisma relic sent my case up?
He/ she was trying to help me since my leaderboard is down
But only for me
Hey so no matter how I change my Game the game always says Football Manager for me and I appear in that category and all my vods are listed as that and when I get shoutout it says Football Manager
But for other people I appear in the correct Category
Hi so I had set up the tips thing for my twitch account and someone tipped me but PayPal said it was for goods instead of tips and I have to verify stuff in order to get the money is there a way to change that?
is there a way me to play final fantasy xv though obs live and how to get my camera on my twitch account please
Hi could some one help me? Im having issues with Streamelements, over and under charging viewers for giveaways. Sub luck at 0 on a test giveaway. !ticket max putting people in to negative numbers. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Hi I just imported my files from Streamlabs Chatbot. But what used to be Hours Watchtime is now in Minutes. Any way to fix this?
@forest haven You'd have to edit the file before importing it.
@fast wave You made the !enter command itself cost 100 to use, even before the giveaway price is applied.
@forest haven You'd have to edit the file before importing it.
@strong kernel how can i edit the file? ๐
Hello! Could you help me in changing the name of the chat bot?
@velvet jungle Currently renaming the bot fully works with OBS.Live.
You can follow this video guide to set it up: https://discordapp.com/channels/141203863863558144/494513233416421386/561516184718278676
If you don't want to use OBS.Live and want to stick with Ground Control, please let us know your Twitch username.
I couldn't change it through OBS live because it doesn't give me the custom bot option
@velvet jungle Please provide a proper screenshot with the issue visible. If not sure how to take a screenshot, you can check here: https://www.take-a-screenshot.org/
Here is the screenshot of what I am seeing when trying to change the custom bot's name
So pick the third option.
That's your custom bot.
You connected your own account.
Is there any way I could change that name? Because I wanted to name it differently
Yes. Select it and disconnect it.
Okay, thank you! I figured it out!
Can anyone tell me why I can't get into streamelements?
Iยดm with this problem too...
Please be more descriptive regarding the behavior.
I try and access the site, and it just won't load in, it keeps loading and loading and loading, on new tab in chrome
when i'll go access my dashboard, the site come back to principal page
@red trench Please logout of StreamElements at https://streamelements.com/logout and then login again to your account (Twitch/Youtube/Facebook)
thanks
@keen cloud Site's up and running as expected. Check that an extension or something else local isn't blocking it from loading, or try in an incognito tab.
What kind of extension would block it
That's something you'll need to determine, if it's working in incognito.
Start disabling extensions and see what happens.
Anyone else having issues with streamelements extension in Twitch not saving settings?
hey i received a 100$ tip today and i withdrew it but my account was connected to my debit card that was deactivated
SE.Pay connects to bank accounts, not cards.
@strong kernel sorted thank you!
Hello. Can someone help me? I want to activate the Media request but its shows that message: MEDIA REQUEST IS CURRENTLY IN USE SOMEWHERE ELSE. ~use here~
I try and nothing works. How can I fix it?
That's not necessarily a bad message. Just means it's open somewhere else. Like if you're viewing it in both the browser and OBS.Live.
Clicking Use Here will make that place take over control.
Is there a usernuke command similar to the !nuke (it just scans usernames instead of user messages.
There is not.
the bot identifies the uppercase of the emoticons, then removes emoticons when exceeding the uppercase limit when it shouldn't. Is there any solution?
hi
Hello! Looking for some help on the Raffle bot module. For some reason the amount given out will not change from 5000. I've tried setting it to 6000 or 10000, but nothing works. I've parted the bot from the channel multiple times but that hasn't done the trick either. Any help is greatly appreciated.
@strong kernel thank you i was worried cause i had recent lost my debit card
@strong kernel I figured there wasn't, not a fan of that variable anyway, but figured I'd ask, thanks
Hi! I want to add a suscriber alert but the video is one with green screen background. How can I do to remove that green background and leave only the primary video?
A video editing software.
StreamElements uses transparencies in videos. It doesn't need to remove anything, so there's no such feature.
I tried with the chroma effect option in OBS and record a new video without background but in streamelements web I have a black background instead of green background
For some reason my activity feed isn't updating. The alerts do seem to be working. I have done the refresh and logged back in through Twitch. I just can't close/reopen since I am streaming.
There isn't something for continued subs yet.
it cut off a follow as well. I'll see if I can get someone else to follow
looks like it works now
this is what i want when someones subs me
Hey is anyone else having issues with their media request?
Glad to see its working again. Ask questions and then it fixes @midnight granite
@steep pilot If you want that as a sub alert simply create a new overlay on the overlay editor and upload the .mkv of that as the sub alert.
@cinder parrot what kind of issues?
So the panel on OBSlive is blank and won't refresh
When I try to control it via browser it says it doesn't detect an active widget
@steep pilot If you want that as a sub alert simply create a new overlay on the overlay editor and upload the .mkv of that as the sub alert.
@cinder olive I already did it but the alert appears with background
@cinder parrot Please provide a proper screenshot with the issue visible. If not sure how to take a screenshot, you can check here: https://www.take-a-screenshot.org/
@cinder parrot Streamelements on top of OBS -> Logout -> login
@steep pilot as in the background and you cant see it but can hear it?
Worked thanks Mr Robot
@steep pilot you need to make it into a webm.
@cinder flare Please ask your question in one helpdesk channel only. A support volunteer or StreamElements staff member will assist you as soon as they are available. Asking in multiple places will only result in confusion, not faster answers. Thank you for your patience.
@steep pilot as in the background and you cant see it but can hear it?
@cinder olive
appears with black background instead of transparent
@cinder flare Which import are you using?
Yup. GIF/webm are the only 2 ways to do that.
^
Yup. GIF/webm are the only 2 ways to do that.
@ionic kelp Damn but I need to do it from a video editor, no?
Technically .mov files too, but please dont use .mov 
Unless you want to give OBS a heart attack.
haha lol
MKV to WEBM Converter - CloudConvert is a free & fast online file conversion service.
Upload your file there and convert it over to webm, its not the best converter but its free, easy, and quick
the original video is one with green screen at background, affect something?
stills with background, maybe some .css code can remove it?

@bronze bone If your commands recently stopped working and you're using OBS.Live and a custom bot name do the following:
1.) In OBS.Live, click on the hamburger menu (three stripes) at the top left of your activity feed
2.) Click on Stream Settings -> Custom bot name
3.) In the "Custom bot name" field select "Set custom bot name", not your already existing username (with capital letters)
Note: If you already connected an account that way, the third entry will show as the account name (see image https://i.imgur.com/sO7fWOX.png)
4.) Scroll a bit down and click on the purple "CONNECT CUSTOM BOT ACCOUNT" button
5.) Log in as usual and "Authorize" the custom bot name
6.) Back in the Activity feed, click on the "SEND TEST MESSAGE" button and check if your custom bot name starts working again
My friend is having issues with his stream audio.. Sometimes when he switches a scene his audio starts popping. We thought it was his stream deck at first but he isnt using it anymore but sometimes when he switches the audio still glitches.

Hello, I'm having issues with the stream element bot. I'm trying to type in !command add !test test123 for example and none of them are working. It just responds with the link to my "list of commands". It was working fine until a few days ago and I haven't changed anything. I'm able to change it through the dashboard but unable to type it into the chat box. Also, when typing !setgame/settitle in the chat box it actually doesn't change the info on my Twitch and have to manually do it through OBS.
Screenshot your chat please, with your attempted use of the command.
So, !command and !commands are different commands. You need to remove these aliases from !commands:
So I'm trying to set up a new follower alert, I have the gif but when I try to put the name over it as an option the video will play but not the lettering of who followed?
Does anyone have any ideas?
@strong kernel
I mod for other channels that use Stream Elements and it works completely fine but just not for my own channel. I could copy and paste the exact same text and it'll work on theirs (with me as a mod)
@latent bobcat Text settings > Advanced, play with the Margins.
@lament blade You're looking at !command. My screenshot is of !commands. Again, they're entirely different commands.
hi SE fam. I am tryna do a chat overlay but only when my custom bot says something in twitch chat? thoughts?
@strong kernel Okay, gotcha. Thank you so much for the help
i need trade alerts a portuguese
Okay thank you Nethyr ๐
hi guys, im trying to transfer over to streamelements from streamlabs, and i was just wondering if i have to download both OBS and OBS.live, and was wondering what is the difference between the 2 ?
@floral thistle Imagine streamlabs obs but in 2 pieces.
ahh ok so i need to download both of them
could you explain to me the main difference between obs and obslive?
Not necessarily but for some of our features you do need it.
ohh okayy, what kind of features would require both to work?
understood, thank you @ionic kelp
hey is there a way to get the watchtime to just show hours?
so instead of 1 day ---> 24 Hours
so i made a new twitch account and obs keeps logging me into my previous account, even though i log out and enter login info for the new account
how do i get obs stream to stream from new account
@oak bison Streamelements on top of OBS -> Logout -> login
had to close and reopen the app, and cancel autologin. The issue is resolved, thanks
I noticed that the Sub Count and Follow Count modules have one more than the actual numbers (e.g. Follow Count says 196 instead of the actual count on my channel as 195) - is there some way to get the actual count showing?
@carmine dock Go to our dashboard -> activity feed on the left -> widget data on the right -> totals tab -> refresh button
is there a way to modify how quotes are stores?
@lament blade Please ask your question in one helpdesk channel only. A support volunteer or StreamElements staff member will assist you as soon as they are available. Asking in multiple places will only result in confusion, not faster answers. Thank you for your patience.
@icy pine modify the quote text or?
@zenith widget i want to modify how the quote is stored, like Quote #1: this is a quote. [Game] [Date]
Not possible
Or rather, the game and date part is something you and your mod team needs to add to the quote
hi, I have a problem with streamellements. the bot doesn't work anymore. the commands in chat don't work and no alert for followers etc. but in the official website it says everything is on
@lament blade Go to the dashboard -> right side -> part channel -> join channel (https://streamelements.com/dashboard)
I don't have this, my dashoboard is different ๐ฐ how that is possible
oooook I found the problem my mistake thank youuu
I'm probably missing something but I can't seem to get the media request to show anything even with it enabled to show on stream and as a widget in overlays
Funny thing is I've had it working before a few months ago, haven't thought of adding it again until now and can't seem to get it going lol
How can I add a shoutout command that doesn't include the @ symbol in the hyperlink? Which variable is correct?
The default template for the shoutout command should not include the [at] symbol
When making the custom command there is a "template" option
@unborn cipher if you don't have a backup playlist, the default video that shows up cannot be shown on the widget
@carmine dock Go to our dashboard -> activity feed on the left -> widget data on the right -> totals tab -> refresh button
@zenith widget
That worked, thank you!
@zenith widget i have a backup playlist enabled currently
Got a message along the lines of "no active widgets were found for media request."
And do you have the media request widget in an overlay?
Yessir
@warm vapor For the best OBS support, please join their Official Discord @ discord.gg/obsproject
sorry its the streamelements obs, does that make a difference?
@warm vapor OBS.Live is a Plugin for OBS created by StreamElements. You can download OBS.Live here: https://streamelements.com/obslive
Please make sure you have the latest version of OBS installed, Current Version: 25.0.4. You can install OBS here: https://obsproject.com/
@unborn cipher its showing up for me
it just started working what the heck
Do you have the overlay loaded?
Hello everyone! Can you help me with chat stats? I changed my channel name. After that you fixed my problem with chat stats but now it doesn't work again (channel name n1cko7as; old name n1ko7ass)
@unborn cipher yes cuz i closed media request
There are no chatstats on n1ko7ass @misty swift
@zenith widget ah okay, well I was just trying to play another video to test and it wasn't playing. I'm very much confusion as you can tell (I promise I'm not normally this dumb I'm sorry lol)
So you need to have media request page active at all times
including the overlay
else nothing will play on the overlay
got ya, so i have both open right now and don't see anything playing in overlay/OBS
did you hit "show on stream"?
yes, it's giving me that same error before with not detecting the widget
does anyone in here teach how to write code for twitch alerts?
uh no? yes? maybe? You can code in our alert widget and you can use the info from #dev-chat 's channel description
@unborn cipher would you mind screen sharing to show me what you are doing?
yeah for sure
For the marathon widget add on, does anyone know if the maximum marathon minutes includes the initial minutes? i.e 24 hours would be actually a maximum of 19? or would it be 24 hours in total?
When I say 19 it's because the initial is 5 hours
If you are referring to the one in #widget-share , I believe @untold crest can answer that, but later today as I believe his not around until the afternoon(its morning currently)
Hello ^^ I'm having issues with the media request overlay. Normally it works fine, but tonight it says ''NO ACTIVE WIDGETS WERE DETECTED FOR MEDIA REQUEST''. Any tips to make it work again ? Thanks
dang shouldn't have left it last minute lol, thanks @zenith widget I would still like to know for future reference @untold crest
@wary summit how are you using MR? Via OBS.Live? Via the dashboard?
obs.live
@wary summit Streamelements on top of OBS -> Logout -> login
@sage cipher it includes initial time, so if you type 24 hours it will be 24 no matter what initial time you set
Login out and in did not solved the issue
remove the overlay with the media request widget and add it again
actually delete the source in OBS is what i meant
Did not worked too ๐ฆ
my overlays chat wont show upbut the followers do and i cant fix it
How do I stop StreamElements from Announcing gifted subs in the chat. Twitch already announces it and I don't want StreamElements to because it just doubles in chat
@small wedge Dashboard -> bot modules -> chat alert -> subscriber alert
@wary summit Did you remove the browser source from OBS or delete the overlay from your account? I see a new overlay created 9 minutes ago and has the media request widget on it.
@old sand now where do i answer you? here or in #helpdesk-selive?
its ok
Hi, I recently changed my Twitch name and my chat stats stopped working, I already fixed the problem regarding chat commands thanks to all the info you're sharing here, please help me fix my chatstats. thanks!

Not sure what made it working but not it is haha
awesome thank you!
@sharp raven done
Hi there, I tried to run my first giveaway today. I filled it all out, and started the giveaway, a notification came up in the twitch channel to say that the giveaway had started, but when people used the !ticket, !enter, !ticket 10, nothing was registering. No notification of entry came up in twitch chat and no registering in the live giveaway page on streamelements.
What am I doing wrong? Thank you for you help.
Did you check if the command is enabled in the default command list?
Thank you I'll look. None of the tutorials I have watched mentioned to do that. lol, thanks I'll look now.
Yes that was turned off. Thank you for your assistance.
@zenith widget amazing! that was really a quick fix! thanks so much!
Does anyone know about online interval minutes with timer commands? Could you possibly explain how it all works how to get commands to trigger etc
Theres a pinned message here about timers ๐
Hey! I have problem with duplicated tips imports from streamlabs. I imported info about my donations multiple times from streamlabs by accident and now It's messing with my widget that should show all time top tipper. It shows triple the amount of the final donation amount. Can this be somehow fixed?

Streamelements bot is stuck spamming in my chat but when I disconnect the bot, it keeps spamming constantly in my chat (1 specific custom command).
I changed the command activation and reconnected, changed its name and it works normally but like a ghost bot is spamming my chat constantly still
Are you using OBSlive?
Yes
@lament blade If your commands recently stopped working and you're using OBS.Live and a custom bot name do the following:
1.) In OBS.Live, click on the hamburger menu (three stripes) at the top left of your activity feed
2.) Click on Stream Settings -> Custom bot name
3.) In the "Custom bot name" field select "Set custom bot name", not your already existing username (with capital letters)
Note: If you already connected an account that way, the third entry will show as the account name (see image https://i.imgur.com/sO7fWOX.png)
4.) Scroll a bit down and click on the purple "CONNECT CUSTOM BOT ACCOUNT" button
5.) Log in as usual and "Authorize" the custom bot name
6.) Back in the Activity feed, click on the "SEND TEST MESSAGE" button and check if your custom bot name starts working again
if that doesn't help
@lament blade 1) Right click on your OBS desktop shortcut and open the Properties 2) In the "Target" field, add the following to the very end: --remote-debugging-port=40404 3) Open OBS (or restart if it was open) 4) Open your web browser and type in: localhost:40404 5) Click on "StreamElements - Activity feed" 6) Navigate to the Console tab 7) Type the following into the console and hit enter: store.customBot.removeCustomBotIntegration() 8) Try setting the custom bot name 9) Remove the additional flag in step 2 from your shortcut properties.
hi guys, im streaming right now and i just got a sollow and a sub, however my alertbox did not go off once, can someone help?
ho wto add streamelements overlay to streamlabs obs
how to add overlay to streamlabs obs
@sharp pagoda 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 โ โShutdown source when not visibleโ https://youtu.be/KDvLynUqXI4

is there a way i can use the same standard alertbox streamlabs uses
or chance morris aka Sodapoppin
its the same but i want that alertbox yet idk how to get it
sodapoppin uses alerts given to him from Streamlabs afaik
meaning they might be custom
but from what I remember Tails as his alert were his old alerts with Streamlabs from a few years ago
ye is there a way i can use the exact same 1
na see
i hate streamlabs
and their community
its like android
always has bugs and never works
and never answers questions lol
Right, then we can't help you, as we don't have the same alerts Soda has
the Tails animation is probably a gif from the internet somewhere
Hi keiZar I just want to say Thankyou for the help/email yesterday
so you can probably find it that way
Who would I talk to to appeal denial for the MTG Creator Program?
Will I get a email regarding the answer wether it be a yes or no? Or if itโs a no I just donโt get the email keizer?
wait what is this about?
@knotty island email us here: support@streamelements.com
or if you want to directly with the Wizards here:
Stream Elements
We don't look at applications
Thanks
so you want to appeal either we can remove the application or you can appeal with the Wizards of the Coast directly
Iโm not sure if Iโm allowed to say on here sir , am I able to Dm you on this matter or is that not allowed?
Itโs about something in beta keizer
A lot of tickets pass through my eyes
either give me the ticket ID or tell me what this is about
@zenith widget okay so i got the url of the alertbox but it wont do anything in streamelements
I don't know what you are trying to do here
Was told they reviewed my content and they only want streamers who are MTG exclusive (which I am) I feel that they didnt look at my content. ๐ฆ
Appeal with them
as i mentioned
we can remove the application and you can apply again and probably get declined again
or email their email for an appeal: creators@wizards.com
Thanks KeiZar
@zenith widget
i got it working
but
if i click here the thingy wont show since its an alertbox of streamlabs
if i click the replay button in streamlabs then the alert shows
so what do i do?
but i want to use the alertbox of streamlabs
like sodapoppin does
ok
i asked a friend to follow
and it all worked fine
but just replaying doesnt work
Ask streamlabs then. That's their stuff.
So... is there a possibility to see (and edit) all the quotes I have?
Unfortunately no.
that sucks so hard... ๐ฆ
hello there, i need some help
i am trying to get a widget into my overlay that shows the songs i am playing through the media request, it keeps telling me there is not active widget unfortunately
am i doing something wrong or overlooking something ?
Hello!
Does anyone know how I can see how much one particular person has donated since the beginning of me streaming? He was wondering how much he has overall donated ^^
Anyone can help me like last time?
I wanna reset my chat stats on the leaderboard from Streamelements if that is possible?
Just launched new emotes today so yeah thats why
@short summit The only way to do so is to either filter their tips in dashboard and copy to excel or check leaderboard
@simple dew Do you want to show song or song title?
the title of the song that is playing, it just says that there is no active widget
In that case add this widget:
It should work all the time, you don't have to click "show on stream"
i have tried both now playing and media request widgets however i still get the same message that there is no active widget
As this one doesn't require clicking "show on stream"
By default there is nothing in "message" so you should add {title} there
Why does my Media request always kick up the "No Active Widgets Were Detected For Media Request" and keeps kicking the song's display off my stream? The widget is active on the display. And the youtube playlist play on stream and is viewable on stream. It just keeps turning off with the no widget error.
I have to keep clicking on the "Show on Stream Button"
@slender prism Make sure that you have mediarequest page running only once (like either in OBS.Live or GroundControl or website)
okay cool, got the title sorted, now i have another problem, one song like to override everything else
It is. Only one I am using is on the OBS.Live
I will restart the client again. See if that helps. It just happens every day now. A real PITA.
Hey! So when I try to change my game in any way itll always say im streaming football manager every vod saves as football manager and when someone shouts me out
Changing it with the command or in obs or on twitch doesnt fix it does anyone have a fix its really annoying
I'm streaming games that needs a session ID to allow my viewers to join my session. So I'm trying to make a SE custom command to set a id (!setid "the-id") and another one to show the id (!id). Is this possible ? If yes, can someone help me please ?
Not possible like that. There's no way to "save" information to be called by a different command.
I just can't find how to do that. Can someone help me, please ?
@lament blade on the stream elements dashboard on the left side there is giveaways (in the loyalty section)
Hello... I need help with my tips...
I've received a tip, but paypal said that I can't cash it out 'cause I didn't update the product/package status, but I can't do anything to my tips at StreamElements
@young ingot SE is just a middle man to give you alerts on tips to paypal. It doesn't hold any money when paypal is involved so that is a paypal issue
Hey, thanks for the quick answer!
I kind of know that, but paypal is dealing the tip as a product that needs shipment... my question here is why? Why paypal doesn't take it as a deposit or something?
that's a good question and more for paypal customer service to better answer than here because there could be other factors on your paypal account that they can help you sort out
I'm having issues with twitch chat stats/SE extension on one of channels I'm helping set up StreamElements. Their old handle was omeenvr (which chatstats works on) and their current twitch handle is omeen_
@errant imp if they had changed their name they need to part the bot on the dashboard , log out of the website and then log back in. It's to grab the new name
okay thank you! I thought i had to get it changed like previous times
Hey how do i shut off merch... its shit... product went out wrong... iron on patches vs silk screen???? wow poor quality
too much money for that product
lurking
when i change the text on the left side of my screen nothing happens here. How do i fix this? btw im new, its prob a beginner mistake
Check latest pinned message @onyx oak
Hello, wasn't sure which channel to post this in. I applied for the MTG creators program three months ago and haven't heard back. While I realize that the ball is in Wizards' court right now, and not yours, is there anything you can do to help check on that for me?
@ivory bramble unfortunately no. You'd have to contact them or if you want to directly with the Wizards here: creators@wizards.com
thanks @untold crest
hey guys, just moved into SE but the alerts sound and not show up, any ideas pls?
Hello, i have a question with SongRequests.
When anyone uses !sr command, it works fine, but there is no feedback in the chat that the song was added. Is there a way to add a bot to say that?
@near void it could be, that the bot is ignored. You have to go to the settings from your overlay, and in the chat box, you have to click that you don't want to ignore the streamelements bot. It will work, I had the same problem. I hope it helps you bro
@coral rock thanks for the reply. Im confused because like in my gaming overlay i dont use a chatbox, can you help?
The problem i'm facing is the bot not appearing in the regular twitch chat
Oh im stupid. For some reason streamelements bot was banned from my channel .-. now i unbanned it and added it as a mod, will test if it works
worked xD

I have a question about SongRequest. When i click "Show on Stream, the song shows as playing but i can't hear it anymore, only my viewers i guess. Is there a way to let me hear it too?
How come when I have display capture scene on all I have is a black screen
@ionic kelp super helpful actually, thank you!!
So trying to give my bot a custom name
But in order to do that I need to set this "tipping" thing up
But I can't finish the process even though I have put it in a panel.. ect.. connected my paypal and so on..
I can't click "Check" Why is this?
Clearly have it in my paneel
But still won't let me complete this step.
With an image attached to it?
Can bot show message without commands?
@lament blade yes, you can add custom "commands" that have a timer
@rocky zinc is that on the website or in OBS.Live?
wym?
is there an FAQ place for overlays stuff ?
@ionic kelp
How can i clear the Game name?
I've put my streamelements tipping link in my twitch panel (Yes it has an image)
But on the Streamelements website, I still cannot finish setting up tipping.
(Stuck on Tipping 50%)
@rocky zinc mind screenshoting the rest of the "steps"?
Is there a issue with updating the overlays on the Website side?
Define updating/issues.
@ionic kelp
If I press save, it is suppose to update on OBS' side but it does not, even though I have inputted the correct URL
Right click on the BrowserSource > Properties > Scroll down a bit > Refresh Cache of current page
1 sec bunzee
as you can see sudo.. I've put the link in my panel on twitch.. I've connected my paypal.. but It's literally broken lol
I assume you're trying to use obs.live for the bot name?
yep
Yeah no, its not updating
I tried re-adding it but nothing
I think its the Connection Overlay Pack
Its not properly updating
The talking scene is broken
Yep, the overlay is broken
Hey, I was trying to create a custom alert using text over image but the text simply doesn't appear
So I'm just trying to get into streaming on twitch and the last thing I need to do for my initial set up is get stream elements working but the chatbots custom chat commands doesn't seem to want to work for me, I copy pasted exactly what a friend of mine used for a command and it works just fine for them but isn't working for me. Any ideas?
@crystal wing Text not showing up over your alerts? Go to the Advanced Text Settings and set the top margin to 50, you can work your way to the right position from there.
Hi, how can I desactivate the follow alert when someones who already followed me, unfollow and follow me again?
@steep pilot Other than using the filter that I told you of the other day you'd have to disable the follower alert entirely from the alertbox.
@restive horizon Username? no links please.
So I can't desactivate only the "re-follow" alert?
I need to desactive all follow alerts
?
The refollow alert is a bug that's not supposed to happen at all.
Outside of the filter you'd have to disable the alert type.
my twitch/streamelements username? LususNaturaeTV
Yup. that's what I was looking for. 1 Sec.
if this info helps fix the issue as well I was trying to do a shout out command to link someones channel and say what game they were last playing in chat when i type in !so (username)

I see the issue.
remove {username} from the command.
It's basically !so{username} actualnamehere atm
ROFL that sounds so simple, i wonder how that works for my friend o.O cuz i literally saw them copy paste it from her stream elements into discord for me to copy over screen share....odd
ill try that out and thank you when it works (since im sure it will xD)
The response itself looks fine. As long as you do !so username it'll grab it for ya.
1 se
hmmm it at least activated this time and actually pulled her last game played but the only part of the link that actually worked took them to twitches home page, the rest of the link is just normal text
I know the issue.
Change %7B to {
You're not the only person who's had that happen to them 
remove channel
and the extra {}
hey im sorry to bother anyone, please ping me when its my turn. thank you
and i assume one of the $ since now theres 2 next to eachother?
@restive quiver 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.
No. That's fine It's just {channel} causing it
Follower and Host Alerts. I've read that these only work if the streamer has the Activity Monitor running? When the stream is running (or offline) there are no in chat alerts. The Chat alert Module is enabled, Hosts are set for 0. We're looking for a totally PC free experience due to streaming from iPad. Thoughts?
@hardy wigeon 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.
I think i deleted the wrong {} cuz im dumb u.u
remove a $ and } at the end. just one of them.
ah i got it!, thanks sudo
Does the same apply to Followers?
I had removed everything but the $ and I did that just before your last message, thanks for the help again @ionic kelp

@hardy wigeon If it shows in the activity feed then you should get a chat notification for it.
And I mean our activity feed. Not twitch's.
You can find your JWT token on your account channels page, hidden behind the "Show Secrets" //// so i am trying to get my jwt token, but im a idiot and not tech savvy at all. i keep clicking the links but i only get blank pages. is there a place i can find this token thing?
@ionic kelp Fair enough. Thank you!
@restive quiver What browser you trying in?
is there anyway for me to copy my follower variations on my alert box to my sub variations?
bing? and i dont like it, i dont know how to change it lol, im not a tech guy
Edge, Chrome, Firefox....
@worthy nimbus What do you mean follower variations?
That's the one alert type that doesn't "use" them.
When I am streaming while playing a game, how can I see the chat at the same time?
So on my alerts you can set variations and i want to use those variations on all my alerts
You'd have to recreate them as you can't dupe them between types.
atm they are only for my follow alerts but i want the same ones for subs,tips and follow
ah that sucks
@supple token Single or multiple monitors?
@supple token Single or multiple monitors?
@ionic kelp Single
If you're not playing fullscreen you can do this
If you have 1 monitor and/or would like the chat overlay on screen, please look at the link below.
Please note this is not a plugin for OBS and not maintained by SE.
https://github.com/baffler/Transparent-Twitch-Chat-Overlay
Ok thanks. I will have a go at that.
@plush bobcat 2 things:
Mod the bot.
Look at timers.
what height and width should my overlays be
@drowsy barn The default resolution for StreamElements overlays (theme and custom) is 1920x1080. Please add them in OBS at their full resolution and use CTRL+F to fit to screen if necessary. You can then downscale your stream in OBS settings > Video if you'd like https://i.imgur.com/6bWXxjR.png
When streaming a game will i see any alerts that come up on stream?
Unless you have OBS opened to see it or the activity feed you'd need to have chat notifications enabled.
Hello , how can i add auto label for top donation and recent follow..
How can I tur
Unless you have OBS opened to see it or the activity feed you'd need to have chat notifications enabled.
@ionic kelp How can I turn those on?
Modules on the left side towards the bottom.
Only subscriber alerts not followers?
No followers tab on mine
At random intervals in my chat the StreamElements bot just says "Response Message". I have no clue what is going on or how to stop it.
@supple token That's because that's youtube. Not twitch.
@hearty kestrel Timers.
Expand all of them and look for it.
Theres nothing turned on that would make it do that @ionic kelp I have already gone through and done that.
Anyone know how I can automatically convert twitch points to my own points without me having to manually do !addpoints etc.
@cursive trench Not possible.
oh ok ty
@hearty kestrel Click the ๐ฝ for them all it'll show everything. I promise you're missing it.
Hello , how can i add auto label for top donation and recent follow..
i need help
Those are the only three timers. That are turned on.

hi everyone! looking for a way to set up a queue for viewers to play with me via the streamelements bot. already googled but iโm not getting it if something does exist. assistance would be appreciated!
Custom widgets are the way to go -> https://discordapp.com/channels/141203863863558144/457957557470887947/652108550293815296
I see that appears to be an overlay
Iโm mobile right now
But is there a way to just do it thru the bot if that makes sense? Iโm also sick so bare with me
Do I need an overlay?
I appreciate the help.
This is like the one thing Iโm really having trouble figuring out rn
I donโt necessarily want it to be on screen, but I want to be able to type commands or whatever in chat
And for people to !join
Well we don't have one natively, so you definitely need a custom one like the above. Also I'm not aware of a "chat only" version so I asked internally. Maybe a third party dev created something that works with our service.
I hope so bc I like your bot lmao
The other ones blow imo
Iโm not good enough to custom that myself so Iโll wait on the answer to that one I appreciate i5
it*
Still no help ? :/
can anybody help me? How do I draw a winner for my giveaway ->
button seems to be missing ๐ฆ
I am watching a streamer and their leaderboard keeps redirecting me to the homepage
If you do find an answer for me feel free to tag me or message me if you can

Hi all, my streamelements bot has just completely disappeared and I now have no bot commands available. Can anyone help?
I see it respond, but without the proper emotes working because it's not subbed
uh can someone help me with stream elements not picking up any game?
its completely black
@velvet lynx For the best OBS support, please join their Official Discord @ discord.gg/obsproject
I had it set earlier so that I was the mod name so I could do emote ones. Is there any way I can have myself set as one too?
@frigid escarp Currently renaming the bot fully works with OBS.Live.
You can follow this video guide to set it up: https://discordapp.com/channels/141203863863558144/494513233416421386/561516184718278676
If you don't want to use OBS.Live and want to stick with Ground Control, please let us know your Twitch username.
just set your name in the settings
@frigid escarp If your commands recently stopped working and you're using OBS.Live and a custom bot name do the following:
1.) In OBS.Live, click on the hamburger menu (three stripes) at the top left of your activity feed
2.) Click on Stream Settings -> Custom bot name
3.) In the "Custom bot name" field select "Set custom bot name", not your already existing username (with capital letters)
Note: If you already connected an account that way, the third entry will show as the account name (see image https://i.imgur.com/sO7fWOX.png)
4.) Scroll a bit down and click on the purple "CONNECT CUSTOM BOT ACCOUNT" button
5.) Log in as usual and "Authorize" the custom bot name
6.) Back in the Activity feed, click on the "SEND TEST MESSAGE" button and check if your custom bot name starts working again
is there a way to use something similar to eval in nightbot (evaluates javascript code). Or something to parse a JSON response?
tysm!! โค๏ธ
thanks!
how do you title your stream
@pale ridge There is a bug with setting the stream title in OBS and the Dev team is investigating.
In the meantime you can set the title using the !settitle command in chat (if enabled in your bot command settings)
Or with the Twitch dashboard: https://dashboard.twitch.tv/stream-manager
thanks
Is it possible to display a website in an overlay?
It is not.
Okay, thanks
Ah thank you @twin sentinel

anyone have any literature on Donations? I'm 99% sure I have everything set up correctly through streamlabs site, but when a friend tried to donate it told him I needed a paypal account even though there is an account, and it has been verified?
We're not Streamlabs, so you'd have to ask them.
oh Nethyr can u help me?
which alerts?
because you don't have a tipping link from us, so donations won't show through our system

I just started streaming. And I dont own a webcam or anything for a face cam. Are there any apps I can download that will work? I stream directly from my ps4
@stiff raptor Consoles do not have native support for overlays. You would need a capture card, PS4 remote play or Xbox companion app and a PC with OBS in order to have Overlays over your console gameplay.

And which part isn't working?

i did an overlay on streamelemets but i want to save as an image
but i didnt know how?
can someone help??
Pleaseee
Stop spamming.
me?
Yes.
why
Congratulations on your new Muted role. You'll regain the ability to chat after we've felt you've had enough time to calm down.
StreamElements is a cloud-based service. Overlays are added as browser sources. You don't save them as an image. You can't.
Why would my top donation show no data if I do have a top donation?
@real yarrow 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.
I figured it out thank you
Ruben Saurus just helped with the alerts showing but how do i show those in chat when someone follows, subs or donates so I can thank them
thank you @wary halo
I don't see a donation panel on your channel, so those might be a bit hard to get
You are also not Affiliate yet so subs won't show either just now
OH i seee
for everything else:
activate the chat alerts module there
@oblique steeple The option isn't there on Ground Control.
ok I will
I can also no longer find this page https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/199460642975907840/745302401543700500/unknown.png?width=727&height=442
have you tried clicking the top one?
Yes.
Ground control settings:
@wary halo
I'm presuming that means tipping is setup now... But I still can't see the option for custom bot name
it needs to be manually flagged by one of the staff members if you want to use it in Ground Control because Twitch broke it a couple of months ago
channel name? (no links)
Ok, one moment
i am on a mac and need to redo my entire stream cause my streaming PC died. i was using streamlabs chat bot previously. I am gonna be using streamlabs for the bot and some overlays and stuff. is it possible to change the user name on mac to what i had previously with streamlabs chat bot? i read about groundcontrol and some other things but got confused and it seemed windows only.
@zinc saddle you can rename the bot with GC o Obs.live but you are right Windows user only
@pine sage type this in your chat /mod StreamElements
so no way to do it in mac?
thanks it really helped
i hate how complicated streaming is on mac. but audio is 1000 times easier lol. i'm a music streamer (production and performance)
Im having an issue that my commands dont work
Its like the bot is desativated but it was on
@versed flax If your commands recently stopped working and you're using OBS.Live and a custom bot name do the following:
1.) In OBS.Live, click on the hamburger menu (three stripes) at the top left of your activity feed
2.) Click on Stream Settings -> Custom bot name
3.) In the "Custom bot name" field select "Set custom bot name", not your already existing username (with capital letters)
Note: If you already connected an account that way, the third entry will show as the account name (see image https://i.imgur.com/sO7fWOX.png)
4.) Scroll a bit down and click on the purple "CONNECT CUSTOM BOT ACCOUNT" button
5.) Log in as usual and "Authorize" the custom bot name
6.) Back in the Activity feed, click on the "SEND TEST MESSAGE" button and check if your custom bot name starts working again
Oh thanks
Hey there, I wonder if there's a way to translate the reply from variables like "${user.time_online}" from "day" example to "dia" (portuguese)
@warped portal https://streamelements.com/dashboard/bot-commands/default-commands this should change it
@abstract hemlock I tried that, it used to work, now it doesn't switch anymore
Everytime I try to give my viewers channel points this is what shows up ( %!(EXTRA string=whodad007) Any help would be great
@echo grotto what command are you using?
!give on streamelements
you want to give some points to all ppl on your chat?
try !addpoints all X replace X with the amount
Thanks! I feel like a dumb dumb head!
is there a variable to !addpoints?
SE bot is replying with (sender username) added (total amount of loyalty points) to (destination username)
so it looks like I added the total amount of points username have instead of the amount I specified on the command !addpoints username (amount)
General stream question!!
im trying to
show my webcam (easy)
show my screen
show my co hosts web cam who is at a different location than me
anyone have any ideas?! THANK YOU

Good Evening All. I'm a tool and have to switch Twitch accounts. I'm curious how I can move all my alerts from my former streaming account to my current streamer account. I have access to both and can verify all necessary information. I attempted to click on import from another channel but that wouldn't work for me ๐ฆ
@proud silo Account Merging - Please note:
- Merging accounts only allows faster ways to switch between accounts
- Merging accounts does not allow data sharing between accounts - different streaming platforms, different type of events
- Merging accounts allows duplicating/sharing overlays between the accounts
If you understand the limitations of merging and want to proceed, please find the JWT tokens (!jwt) from both accounts you want to merge and you will be directed to DM them to a staff member.

@desert sentinel restart GC
Okay I have both Tokens
thank you very much @abstract hemlock
I need to do the oauth from the dummy account yes?
fantastic, thanks again
DO NOT SHARE THAT HERE
Kia Ora. I'm currently evaluating platforms to support our tournament broadcasts. Does StreamElements allow the combination of data across multiple channels?
@desert sentinel kill every instance of ground control with the task manager
@quick marten We dont' support multistream
Ahh okay. thanks.
kill every instance of ground control with the task manager
@abstract hemlock took 3 tries, fixed. Thanks!
My old user name was ricericeasain now its ricericeasian
my bots name is my name.. not the name i set it to.
It's also double posting now.
@abstract hemlock
Did you create a Twitch account for your bot?
You can't just name the bot anything you want or every 13 year old on Twitch would name their bot Ninja or TimTheTatman to try to fake some reputation. 
You also need to generate the OAuth token while logged into Twitch with the bot account.
The OAuth token is what allows Ground Control to speak through the name.
That's just a common thing when first setting up. You just restart Ground Control to fix it.
ahh gotcha, thanks ๐
any having issues with chat commands?
Hello, loving streamelements and have been using it for twitch. But then one day i added facebook on my accounts managed in dashboard, now i can't stream to twitch, I keep getting this error.
When i go to settings > stream
My twitch account is logged in
@mighty needle Streamelements on top of OBS -> Logout -> login
oh wow that actually worked thank you bot
Hello, I started to use streamelements today and I setup my tipping system, but I can't see my received tips in the last live. I just see the followers. Is there any delay with it?
Follow/Sub/Tip alerts are not working
@mighty fractal Please ask your question in one helpdesk channel only. A support volunteer or StreamElements staff member will assist you as soon as they are available. Asking in multiple places will only result in confusion, not faster answers. Thank you for your patience.
Hi I'm trying to setup a follower widget for my overlay and I've added a custom alert sound to it, when I test the follower event I hear both the default sound and the custom sound I've added
It sounds like you haven't clicked save yet, so you're hearing the original in OBS and the edit in the browser.
Yep that's exactly it, thank you ๐
Why does it say Under my SE Pay bank accounts invalid contact support

Somebody?
@low garnet you don't see any other event on your activity feed? If so please check the "filter" button
@low garnet you don't see any other event on your activity feed? If so please check the "filter" button
@abstract hemlock I can see New followers
If a viewer tipped through PayPal but no information appears in your StreamElements account, this generally means PayPal has held the tip for verification. Until PayPal clears the tip and sends back a confirmation to your StreamElements account, no information will appear there and no alert will play, as that confirmation is the only way for us to be aware of a successful transaction. If you believe there may be an issue with the transaction, you'll need to contact PayPal support as StreamElements is only a passthrough service and never actually gets involved with the transaction or touches the money.
Okay! Thanks!!!๐
Is there a way to blacklist StreamElements bot from receiving gift subs?
@timid zephyr that would be something whoever manages the actual account would have to do. Unfortunately that effects EVERY single channel.
So it would mean anyone wanting to have the bot use sub emotes would have to use their account.
That kinda sucks. People spend money and the benefits are wasted on the bot. I guess Twitch would have to make bots separate from actual viewers then allow the streamer to enable or disable gifting subs to bots. I don't see that happening some time soon though.
Not necessarily. The streamer might not be able to use the custom bot option whether due to how they stream (IRL/Console specifically) or not have the money to maintain a sub.
Besides it's the choice of the person spending the money if they want someone rrandom to have the sub.
is there anyway to stop the bot outputting the redeem message once you redeem an item
There is not.
what are the options for setting up sound alert commands not via the stream store redeeming
my alerts seem to not work when people follow me, but when I emulate the follow or sub they seem to work. I already reconnected my twitch with SE. Thanks in advance
so i got some overlays on stream elements and i edited them to how i want them...this may be a dumb question but how do I get them onto obs studio?
@restive horizon 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 โ โShutdown source when not visibleโ https://youtu.be/KDvLynUqXI4
facepalms of course its browser source, i shall go hide my shame now xD
Let me explain in a little more detail. I'm talking about a way to label a Twitch account as a bot. Similar to Discord bots you would create them differently to a regular user and be able to allow them into your channel. That way you could choose whether bots can receive gifted subs or not in the settings. Obviously this can't happen yet as Twitch would need to implement this but this is an idea on how they could potentially do it. Also most people are going to want their gifted subs to go towards real people. A small amount of people might want to gift subs to bots. @ionic kelp
anyone know a solution to that issue i posted above
Hey All.. Im having trouble getting my alerts to work on OBS. They work when i emulate but not when an actual event happens live
hey so
its so that when i use the WGC capture method with window capture i get this yellow border around my game
i got told that the bitBLT fixes it but when i choose BitBLT it doesnt show the game
its like it shows a frozen screen of where i was in
if anyone knows how to fix this please either PM me or just @ me ๐
@lament blade For the best OBS support, please join their Official Discord @ discord.gg/obsproject
@fathom iris Are you getting any audio from tthe alerts?
only when i emulate
Yo I have a question
Good evening everyone. I feel this is a very basic question. I am learning as I go with Twitch and using StreamElements. In Loyalty settings in the Loyalty section of StreamElements you can enable loyalty points for viewers. I am wondering what can these loyalty points be used for? Are the points used for the chat games like !roulette and !slots?
@ionic kelp if i emulate the event yes, but if it happens live during the stream i get nothing
Nothing in activity feed?
it shows up in activity feed and i can even replay it.
@flint flower yes to the games part. Beyond that the only actual thing that can be used with is your stream store. Beyond that it's simply thinking of other uses.
I have a question do stream elements only allow PayPal as a thing where you get your money from
maybe this is a silly question but does my browser need to be open while im streaming for them to play?
@ionic kelp Thank you. That is what I thought but wanted to make sure.
@lost basalt you don't meet the requirements
SE.PAY is available for streamers who are atleast 18 years old, with bank account under their name in one of the following countries and have at least 101 Follower (Twitch) / 101 Subscribers (Youtube):
Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland , Italy, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, United Kingdom, United States.

Hey i need some help with this raid shadow legends sponsorship. Some of the people using my link arent registering people signing up or finishing the tutorial
Last question I think I have for now, so I have my elgato HD60S+ properly set up, to get it onto obs studio I would just create a gaming capture source and then have it capture a "specific window" and just have that be the elgato capture screen yeah? or am i missing something :x
or is it window capture that i need instead?
How to activate tips on mobile have no px or computer doing it off on my phone and streaming directly from ps4
@tawdry bridge Please contact us over at support@streamelements.com about this.
@restive horizon try both
@sour heart Consoles do not have native support for overlays. You would need a capture card, PS4 remote play or Xbox companion app and a PC with OBS in order to have Overlays over your console gameplay.

Hi guys, I added a new alert for my followers and im getting a different font in the steamelements overlay, and a different font in my OBS, not sure why is it happening
@pastel zodiac Google Fonts
More than 900 google fonts are supported at this time. You can preview them here: https://fonts.google.com/
Custom Fonts
Steps:
- Install the font on the streaming PC or choose a pre-installed windows font.
- In the overlay widget settings, select Text Settings
- Enable Custom Font
- Type the name of the font as it appears in the windows font directory (This is usually
C:\Windows\Fonts)
Note: After installing fonts, the browser and OBS must be restarted for the font to appear.
Is there a way to scale the text depending on the width of the name of a follower, so it doesnt cover up my whole follow alert?
Some one help me to confirm a donation?
@pastel zodiac there is a dynamic font option, which does that
@iron moat I will answer your ticket/email now.
@zenith widget thanks
I have a layer in my SE overlay that is not showing up in "Layers" For an overlay,. Any thoughts?
I can't delete it, or make it invisible
Sure it's not locked?
@zenith widget so on your side you won't be able to see if the money arrive in streamlab or not? cuz ive seen people who need to manually authorize withdraw donations from streamlab to paypal
I have ever single layer in the my layers section clicked as non visible. itslike this layer is magical locked and not showing in my "layers" @ionic kelp
I can't find it in layers, to unlock and delete
I have never seen this happen in 50 overlays i have made.
@iron moat
- This is streamelements
- We are just a passthrough gateway - we allow people to leave a message and then send them to PayPal to process the payment
- We do not touch the money that goes through PayPal
- we do not have access to people's accounts to check on statuses and such.
@zenith widget I cant seem to find the dynamic option in the alert box
@zenith widget thanks
@wise dagger expand the layers list and screenshot only those.
@pastel zodiac only label type widget have the dynamic font option
Please provide a proper screenshot with the issue visible. If not sure how to take a screenshot, you can check here: https://www.take-a-screenshot.org/
I will just remake the whole overlay this just makes no sense at all @ionic kelp
showing a screen shot of them all turned off, but still showing the layer visible in my overlay will not help you @ionic kelp
I have 30 layers, and they are all turned off.
yet the youtube and the youtube name are still visible
You might be missing something that I can catch but if that is easier for you to do....
I logged out, adn back in and it then showed the layers gone in my overlay. I tried that twice. the third time it worked. thanks anyways!
Hi. This might have a simple answer, but I am trying to figure out how to integrate my streamelements alerts into streamlabs. I've copied the alert box url and added it as a browser source, but it's still not showing up.
@hardy patio 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.
Oh, so it's not compatible with streamlabs at all?
yeah, so for an alert box is there a way to do what I asked before, I have a custom made follower alert, but some people decide that is cool to have twitch username with 20 letters, and names that are, so if there's a possible way to change font size depending on the width of the follower name?
It can work but they're known for blocking our stuff.
that answers my question. I was trying to figure this out for like 2 weeks. rip me
yeah.
thank you
hey guys, how can I generate a sharable link for a custom overlay that I made for my friend?
This feature is only possible for selected accounts.
@proven mulch Follow these steps to grant managers/moderators access to your dashboard:
- Click on your Channel Name at the top of the dashboard and select Settings
- Create a new invite at one of three access levels (Bot Supervisor, Editor, Full Control)
- Send this invite to a mod/manager to give them access to your dashboard. The link is one-time-use and expires after 72 hours if not accepted
Video tutorial: https://youtu.be/zl_h-ttZDF0
You can ask for editor access to their account and copy the overlay over.
alright! ty!
so I created a chat element in streamelements, saved, then copied the link as a browser source in OBS 25.0.8, but whenever I type in chat it doesnt show up in OBS, any advice?
@quiet storm The default resolution for StreamElements overlays (theme and custom) is 1920x1080. Please add them in OBS at their full resolution and use CTRL+F to fit to screen if necessary. You can then downscale your stream in OBS settings > Video if you'd like https://i.imgur.com/6bWXxjR.png
im trying to do the live setup, but it wont let me skip the tipping setup to reach the alert setup, annoying
Hey, I'm running kappagen during my stream, and it just doesnt work. it worked the first time, but I changed the emotes and now nothing is showing up whatsoever ๐ฆ
other overlays work, just tried
@vocal niche Right click on the BrowserSource > Properties > Scroll down a bit > Refresh Cache of current page
tried it ๐ฆ
I figured it out...it won't trigger unless there's a minimum of 10 people hosted or $1k tips. How can I get rid of that?
What do you mean @vocal niche ? Kapp Gen is not really dependent on number of viewers or tips you received...
What do you mean @vocal niche ? Kapp Gen is not really dependent on number of viewers or tips you received...
@placid raptor I can't trigger the emote explosion unless it's set to a host of 10 people or higher. When I select 1, it doesnt trigger.
it's also apparently triggering way off screen, but m trying to adjust it
very far to the right, if that makes sense
Could it be that you have multiple variations for host or tip alerts? Can you test with a default alert that has no variations?
You have a setting in the widget to use the entire screen, plus I personally also changed its size
oh you're editing it? i'll stop
And every time we change a setting we gotta save, just as a reminder
always save.
no no, I meant for myself ๐
and yes, i want it to cover my acreen.
So in the widget settings the first two options are 'Use the entire screen for emotes', make sure it's enabled
lower number of emotes and their size to rule out any issues with displaying [just to be on the safe side while testing]
make sure you choose 'emotesplosions' and select the alert for it [followers\subs\tips]
and if you have variations, test with a default alert that has none
I've done all that lol. I'm using the preview function, and it'
sorry
it's almost as if the overlay window and my monitor are next to eachother and I'm only getting a section of the explosion
๐ sorry

oops sorry
it's ok
did you make a separate browser source for the kappa gen?
also the kappa gen works with alerts? but now it's a resolution thing?
i think it's always worked with alerts but the positioning was so out of wack it just wasnt showing?
and yes its on its own browsers ource
@vocal niche The default resolution for StreamElements overlays (theme and custom) is 1920x1080. Please add them in OBS at their full resolution and use CTRL+F to fit to screen if necessary. You can then downscale your stream in OBS settings > Video if you'd like https://i.imgur.com/6bWXxjR.png
that's for every overlay we add as a browser source
and if the widget is set to use entire screen you should be good to go @vocal niche
Hii I have an alertbox that i want to add from SE to OBS, but it doesn't work when i try to emulate events
however, if i duplicate the alertbox onto my other overlays, it seems to work, but i don't know why this is happening
for example, if i duplicate the alertbox into my intermission overlay, the alertbox will work when i emulate events, but when i add a browser source just for the alert box, it does not seem to work
IT WORKS! the resolution was the problem. Thanks so much โค๏ธ
@vocal niche nice job! :D
Just another quick one guys is there anyway of activating the chat bot to work on my stream even though I just stream straight from xbox?? I've activated it through the streamelements website and set the modules
I just keep missing follows and raids due to being through twitch mobile dashboard
@floral thistle if you're sure you saved the alertbox independent overlay, if it has its own browser source maybe try to Right click on the BrowserSource > Properties > Scroll down a bit > Refresh Cache of current page ?
HELLO GUYS. Can anyone tell me how can static and animated theme impact the stream health?
means by what percent the stream will be better in static than animated
@lament blade numerically we can't give you anything but there can be a difference when a portion of your overlay is static vs animated.
@ionic kelp okk thanks ๐
This also can include transparent images as well.
@foggy wadi shouldn't matter what you stream, if the bot is properly set you should be able to see its reactions
make sure it's joined, modded and unmuted, modules\commands are enabled
that should do it in terms of seeing its reactions
@placid raptor yup i refreshed as you told me to but it's still not working
one more question. when i stream, my gameplay fps drops from like normally 180 and dropping to 130 or 140. can you tell me an solution?
but my stream looks great
i face difficulty in my gameplay
i cant get the media request widget to work in obs, i copy the overlay url and paste it in browser source in obs but it says "NO ACTIVE WIDGETS WERE DETECTED FOR MEDIA REQUEST" i tried using my alerts overlay(they work fine) and making a new overlay just for media but it says the same thing. any help is appreciated
@floral thistle Would you mind doing a share screen or a team viewer session(preferably TW) so that I can see exactly what is happening?
@raw thistle how are you using MR? Via OBS.Live? Via the dashboard?
yes i can do a share screen
obs live, @zenith widget
@raw thistle Streamelements on top of OBS -> Logout -> login
@floral thistle call me when you can
I used to be able to delete tips and ban users from donating again with full access to someone's stream elements. Did that feature get taken away?
Forgot a space
why dont you try it over the Dashboard and then Roles?
Actually disregard
I used the space the first time @ionic kelp
Go here and try https://twitch.tv/doobieman4u/chat/popout
@ionic kelp any suggestions for me ?
@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.
Sorted guys thankyou!!
sup guys, can you help me pls? how can i change font size in chat box in OBS?
@ionic kelp https://obsproject.com/logs/nyUkyrlFVSIAVBcK
@round bramble https://obsproject.com/logs/nyUkyrlFVSIAVBcK
- Don't spam
- Don't tag random people
- You can check the link yourself by pasting it on the website
And 4. You already posted that link and you got an answer like 6 messages above
@deft pine Click on the cogwheel in the chat dock -> change to non-mod settings -> change font size
@oblique steeple 1. LOL, i dint knew that the link was for me(no tags though) to test my log.
- Chill bro i dint meant to disturb you by the way. thanks for the support ๐
@zenith widget thanks boss!
Ok i just read that browser sources are performance killers. So i would like to know that i am using web sources for overlays using stream elements, what can be the alternative if i want to stay on animated overlays only.
PS- Please tag me when answering me, otherwise people gets angry on me. ๐
I would prefer not tagging, because there is no need to tag you, when my answer is right after your question :)
As for the answer - browser sources are performance killers IF your PC is not up to spec, or not mid to high end tier.
If you read the analyzer links I've provided previously you would see what the issue is with the streams and get some suggestions from the guides on how to fix or adjust that.
There no alternative to a browser source for OBS.
hmmmm...okkk
Than i think i should not worry for web sources as i hv high end tier PC.
Thanks for the support man, appreciate it ๐
And yes im reading those guides only, very helpful articles ๐
hallo, looking to diagnose a problem with making changes to stream, such as set title / set game, using SE bot commands.
to be clear, these issues were working previously - however they are not working now. So it seems as if maybe between working -> non-working there was some disconnect made.
any help would be greatly appreciated
@fiery skiff please be more specific as to what you need assistance with
not sure how much more specific you need... here's example
It wasn't clear at start.
Part the bot from your channel, then logout from our dashboard, then logback in and join the bot
and try the command again
how to part?
right side -> part channel
fixed. thanks

@round bramble i know you're a bot, but damn that was totally off
@frigid niche The bot is correct actually. Once you have access there's an option from the overlay to dupe to another account.
Streamelements bot stopped responding in chat again
@placid robin Go to the dashboard -> right side -> part channel -> join channel (https://streamelements.com/dashboard)
Didnt seem to fix it Sadge
@frigid niche The bot is correct actually. Once you have access there's an option from the overlay to dupe to another account.
@ionic kelp wait, that's not what I want. From that link, they will be made a mod on my account.
And that's the only way possible atm.
is it? are the people on widget-share doing the same?
They have a "pass" for theirs.
