im having trouble resetting one of my overlays to the most recent cheer sender even though i type in the data it comes up with no data '
Once you've entered it, did you save and refresh the overlay itself?
@foggy heart yes and still nothing
this has all happened since the issue last night with the follow botting

@foggy heart 6112a91375b23b6344dee19b
Copy and paste it in this channel
What is the name of the overlay you are using?
Limbs sender
I'm seeing the session data blank, can you try entering the data again then check the overlay?
ok then ill do it now @foggy heart
in the overlay itself or the widget data @foggy heart
The widget data
just did it @foggy heart but still no change
Let me take another look
all good man and sorry for the bother @foggy heart just dont want to lose something ive worked so hard on because of some idiot thinking its funny to follow bot people
No problem, i'm sorry you're running into issues. I'm looking now to see why it isn't updating
hello I have a quick question, specific one at that and had a hard time finding the exact answer:
Can I listen/use OST's from games while streaming? Can I listen/use/watch space documentaries etc while streaming? Thanks o/
its not your fault man im just glad i have some help sorting it out
I don't know if anyone else having the same problem. Host alerts is not working and I think raid alerts doesn't work also.
@lament blade ⤵️
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.
having any luck @foggy heart
I'm seeing basically all the other labels populate, just the latest is not. it might be because there isn't a current session, so this might have to be filler manually in the editor until the next session
I have tried that as well, is it possible that it might not show up because that cheer that happened was 2 days ago and there is nothing recently
one other question @foggy heart is it possible to remove all the follow bots off my activity feed or are they stuck there for good
I just updated he label to have the name, you'll just need to add the correct amount and it should appear
i noticed that thank you @foggy heart and what about removing the follow bots off my activity feed is there anyway of doing that?
We can't remove those events since they came from twitch, but they won't reflect in your totals
ok great thanks heaps for your help @foggy heart i managed to fix the totals on twitch last night anyway so again thank you for you help and sorry again to be a pain in the ass
No problem, apologies for the delay!
all good @foggy heart
I have a problem with the streamelements chat bot. The bot just stopped working. I can't get it to work again
@wet chasm could you try /unban streamelements
Also mod it
hey my custom alerts aren't go through to OBS all the way. Only the text appears even though I uploaded custom clips to use. Is there some sort of copyright block or something?
no answer??? :(
on Twitch I wouldn't
Unless granted express permission, no. Dmca rules apply
What file type are your alert images?
thanks for the replies o/ shame, I've heard some streamers using game music etc and it would be hard to believe they got the rights to do so and they do it daily which is why I asked after reading the twitch rules etc
Pov me when im playing fornite:😐😐😐
@wispy elk ⤵️
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.
Yeah in-game is different than just playing OST
6100ce53df0fe15daf996403
there's a hearthstone twitch streamer who listens to square-enix music throughout his streams etc and I highly doubt he got the rights from square to do so and he's been streaming for years, hence why I asked that question
" Zeddy Hearthstone"
Yep. If there’s ever a doubt, don’t do it
Hey there, I'm having trouble with the Overlay editor. It won't preview my video background, which is a 1920x1080 mp4. I am able to download it again from StreamElements, but it won't show up in browser.
Hello, I need help with something. When i press my tipping settings nothing pops up and also when i press my tipping link nothing also pops up
Try converting to webm
Hey there, my TTS has stopped working for my alerts, bits/subs etc.
Does anyone know how to fix this?
Did you make any change to the overlay?
not sure if anyone can help with this - my chatbot is posting twice for one command. I tried disconnecting the custom bot account and reconnecting but it's still doing it
Only today, but it stopped working before I made any changes today.
@twilit wigeon fully close obs and kill any lingering processes in task manager.
It's been doing this for weeks, I've only just got the chance to deal with this.
The computer has been entirely shut down but it does it everytime I open OBS
Do you have an additional dock for the website or a single tab open for the activity feed?
And tab i mean from browser.
currently i don't have a browser open at all. just OBS. But I have Chat and Activity feed on the left side of the screen.
That's the o ly instance of the activity feed of ours you have open. Nowhere else?
no nowhere else
Nor anything of the website at all?
no I don't have any websites open. Right now the only things I have open on my computer is OBS, Spotify, and Discord
Not even a 2nd computer?
no
And you don't use ground control?
I don't know what that is so I'll go with no
Lets do this.
StreamElements menu, on top of OBS > Logout > Login
Then fully close OBS and restart.
I think that worked. Thank you
can i post questions about widgets in here that arent updating the correct numbers on twitch
??
Most alerts and variations in your alert box don't have TTS enabled right now.
sadge
im trying to work with an event rotator, every other goal is pulling the correct numbers for my goals in the events but for some reason followers dont seem to be popping up correctly
Let me take a look.
They do, this is the alert overlay I'm using.
Yeah, cheer variations do, but most sub variations don't.

Resub has it enabled.
TTS isn't working for any alerts that have TTS enabled.
I see. I'll look into it.
By followers do you mean the Follower Goal?
yes like i want the total amount of followers i have to pop up but when i input it, it only pulls 4
which doesnt make sense
I see 1995/2000
wait really
thats weird for me its not showing that
hold on
its working now i dont understand but thank you haha
Hello! My chat stats haven't been updating for a few months, is there anything I can do? I never changed my name. Thanks!
I reset the session, but it was showing me the correct number before as well. In general resetting the session when you see wrong totals might be a good idea.
i tried that also but it didnt show up
it works now so no complaints here
haha
@cyan spruce for franqitom I assume?
Yes!
Is there a way to get Hype Cup drops to not scroll on from the right? I want the icons to drop straight down from out of frame. Only way I’ve found to accomplish this is to undersize the widget in StreamElements overlays and then scale it up in OBS so the scrolling bit is out of frame? This works but is a bit fuzzy with upscaling. Making the widget itself taller than 1080px doesn’t appear to work- there seems to be a hard coded limit for the drop height so I can’t simply push it out of frame in the StreamElements overlay itself.
@thick flicker Apparently Allison is one of the TTS voices that are bugged and not working right now. We are working on fixing that.
Meanwhile there are two workarounds for you: either change to another voice, or recreate the alert box from scratch in another overlay. The second one isn't 100% but might be worth a try.
@cyan spruce what do you mean not updating?
The Top Chatter was being updated (the number) but the use of the emotes was not changing
Right now I tested it and it is working. But the uses of the emotes of these months were not added
I tried creating a new overlay and tested TTS with Allison but it still didn't work so I'll have to change the voice for now.
Do you know when there'll be an approximate fix for this?
Unfortunately not. It seems like they tried a fix already in the past. I'll ping the developers to nudge them.
Ok, thank you so much for your help, much appreciated! ❤️
Can't find a setting for it, so it seems like your hack is the best way to go for now. I'll keep trying later and see if I can figure something out.
So for a few months, chat lines were updated for everyone, but emotes weren't updated at all?
Exactly, the count of the emote usage sttoped again
Also the live emotes that are used in the chat up in the page
And now it is working again it seems
When I open a browser source in OBS and click the 'Open in StreamElements Overlay Editor' I get this error.
How do I resolve this?
@lament blade ⤵️
StreamElements menu, on top of OBS > Logout > Login
Thank you! This fixed the issue.
My old name is still here! Even though I level up, it doesn't get better. My new name is not coming
Today I'm having trouble making clips of past broadcast VODs. When I click the clip button today, I just get a blank tab in both Google Chrome and Firefox. Anyone have a clue? Thanks
This should get updated after you go live next.
Anyone know how to fully complete this bit? I have custom alerts and stuff but it's not completed for some reason and it's starting to bug me
Even downloaded twitch studio to try and do it through there but it still didn't complete it
i recommend checking with twitch support perhaps
Hi guys, how can i review my campaign that ended on SE.Sponsorship?
you can check it your sponsorship dashboard, unless you mean something else?
when i go there there's a button "review here" but when i click, it enter like during the campaign. There's no place to write something or new button to do so.
was told to come here to talk about my SE.Sponsorship
a few people have used my affiliated link and proved to me they did it and reached a level and it isnt updating the total
Please contact us via email for support with your campaign or sponsorship. You can use our contact form here: https://streamelements.com/contact Thank you.
@teal spire there
thanks
Could someone help with this
This has been an issue since the channel began, we have our own bot that also has a store command, so when !store is written, there is a double response, and the StreamElements one is not working nor can i disable it.
@junior parcel ⤵️
If your commands recently stopped working and you're using OBS.Live and a custom bot name do the following:
- In OBS.Live, click on the hamburger menu (three stripes) at the top left of your activity feed
- Click on Stream Settings > Custom bot name
- 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/re4theQ.png).
- Scroll a bit down and click on the purple Connect Custom Bot Account button
- Log in as usual and Authorize the custom bot name
- Back in the Activity feed, click on the Send Test Message button and check if your custom bot name starts working again
my alerts don't show my clips or play sound, just text. they all work in the overlay editor but not in OBS. all of the videos are mp4 with sound
Could someone help. My alerts wont show when someone follows i tested it and its fine but when i stream it dosent pop up when someone follows. im using obs
for both of us?
Several people are having same problem as you
same but its 2am for me
you should go to sleep
well it is 7 am now
ye ik
I woke up at 6pm yesterday so my sleep schedule is kinda done for
hopefully they fix it quickly 🙏
uncapped subathon and alerts aren't working so they aren't adding time lol 
yeah having the same issue
there is nothing popping up on obs activity feed
site activity feed though is being updated properly
The delays are still ongoing, but a fix is already being worked on at high priority.
If you have editor permissions on their account, you can duplicate an overlay with that widget over to their account.
there is no way with a link or something?
Not possible unfortunately. But giving you editor permissions isn't difficult, they just generate an invite link on their account and send it over to you. They can revoke the permission whenever they want.
good morning everyone! Hope everyones Sunday is marvelous so far. I'm new to the server and content creation. does stream elements still work for LightStream? if so I'm having difficulty importing a pre made graphic on their webpage and wondering how I can find help.
I'm using OBS.
I have already disabled harware acceleration in the OBS settings.
I have tried creating a fresh scene collection with ONLY the alert box browser source and this problem still persists...
I've recently ported everything from Streamlabs over to Streamelements including my alerts. When testing alerts from the Streamelements page, the alerts sometimes play correctly and sometimes do not play at all.
Every time I test an alert, one of three things happens...
Nothing will happen in the Streamelements preview page AND the alert does not play in OBS.
The alert plays in the Streamelements preview but does not play in OBS.
The alert plays in both preview and OBS.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Okay, thanks!
Hello! I've read in years old posts that there used to be a way to read from a textfile and pick a random line to use in a bot response. But I can't find anything that works. The ${random.pick} is not working when spaces are invovled, and the character limit is far, FAR too harsh.
Can this work somehow?
RE: Activity feed issue.
We were updated that a change was released right now. I'd love it if everyone could go back and check if your activity feeds are updating properly.
It works by now
@keen wigeon hey! do you know if stream elements still works for Lightstream?
Yeah, should work.
my activity feed isnt updating and my alerts arent going off what should i do ?
okay then its a matter of me figuring it out. thank you for the reply @keen wigeon
A fix was supposed to go out a few minutes ago. When did you test it last?
it doesn't work, and it also stopped working on site for me
ugh
I am streaming rn, if this helps
okay now it works
but it was like 5 minutes late
okay, thank you soo much
Using OBS 27.0.1, when I click start streaming, it is not showing as live on my channel. I have re-added the stream key and stopped/restarted streaming, but it is still not going live. What else should I try?
@onyx hawk ⤵️
Please logout of StreamElements at https://streamelements.com/logout and then login again to your account (Twitch/YouTube/Facebook).
You mean alerts?
yes
Do the events get updated in your activity feed?
yes but not showing on screen
I downloaded the stream elements from the overlays gallery from the website, I set it, but it does not appear on the screen
Afternoon all - my alert widget and my chat box overlay are not working on stream. I have copied their URLs from Stream Elements and added them into my scenes. I have tried logging out and back in. I have tested them in the emulator and they work there. I have checked my activity feed and activities are there. Any suggestions on what I have done incorrectly as to why these two elements are not working on the stream itself? I'm using OBS by the way. Thanks in advance. 🙂

Hi, new here.
I have the problem that i just get the message: "Uh-oh...
Overlay does not exist", when opening the SE Editor with OBS. But when i open it on my browser they are all there

Good morning all the media request option on obs seems to not be working for me and im trying to get it to show up again but no matter what i try and do i cant get it to work (nevermind i got it good day to you all)
Morning. Does this guide for adding session data as a dock not work anymore? https://support.streamelements.com/en/articles/45-widget-data When I do this I get a white window that shows nothing. Is there a fix?
@karmic hare ⤵️
Obs.live is a plugin for OBS Studio for the best OBS support, please join their Official Discord @ https://discord.gg/obsproject
is there any method to filter top chatters on stats.streamelements.com by month/duration? this was like a 4 year old comment on a reddit thread but im assuming it was scrapped and never implemented? https://www.reddit.com/r/Twitch/comments/7s2ckq/comment/dt2j5yo/?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=web2x&context=3
I'm getting the same thing that you are. I'm going to look into this, because it might be a temporary issue.
Awesome, thanks
Yeah, no date filtering implemented yet.
Aight all cool, just wanted to know if i was just missing out on an option or something. Thanks for the reply!
I received a tip last night (my first through Streamelements) and it's not showing in my Activity Feed nor did it fire an alert. Paypal says the donation went through and I don't have moderation enabled. Not sure what to do.
since you recently switched over to us, make sure that all of the tipping links available on your channel are StreamElements links
I'm looking below my Twitch and both links are in fact StreamElements links.
check the bots you have as well
I don't have any chat bots that drop a donation link
Hi. I just recently switched to stream elements for alerts and I went across this song requests feature. Is it possible to like make users to request songs from channel pts redemptions directly rather than command input?
Hey, im affiliate and dont find my animates emote slots... is it only a partner feature ?
they aren't out for everyone i guess @gilded reef i got it but one of my friend didnt. so probably gonna take a few more days for everyone to get it
ah ok thx 🙂
It's not uncommon for Twitch to roll out features gradually for users
The channel points feature was rolled out the same way
gotcha, this could be related to an issue we're having regarding delays with alerts and events. This should be resolved shortly
Good afternoon, long time ago changed my nickname on Twitch, does not work chat stats(404), was the nickname faleot (or VfaleotV do not remember) changed to mortuusviventem
Help, please
ID: 5fb911793c77cba2f396cc7f
should work just fine now
Everything works, thank you very much ❤️
Hello! I was wondering if anyone would be up to the task of helping me setup some overlays. I have a custom built one, but I am completely at a loss and I could really use some help. I am willing to Tip 5$ if anyone is able to help me through this. Thank you!
Alright, recently I have been having the issue were my alerts won't always play. Bot is connected fine, commands work fine. However its like 50/50 on if alerts will play. Anyone have any suggestions
Same issue here, emulated alerts work and point redemptions that include text work thru stream, but no actual alerts or text-input-less redemptions
Yea, the same problem I am having. This only recently happened and I have rebuilt my alerts and scenes and still same issue
hey guys, as far as delayed or missing alerts go
this is an ongoing issue we're tackling as we speak
hoping for a fix later today
Okay, thank you! ❤️
Also, is the message-less channel point redemption issue getting fixed later today too?
Hi Guys, is there a way or command which gives me a list or something from the saved quotes from the bot?🤔thx in advance
Hi, the chat stats page for a channel I mod for is not working, She can't remember if the name on the account was changed as it is an old account,

hello, I changed my twitch-name and after login out and back into streamelements most things seem to work, exept for anything related to betterttv (emotes in chat overlay, emotesplosion). can anybody help me?

Helo, regarding the usage of the pepe emotes in bot responses. Using !pepes disable does bring forth the response that they have been disabled but the bot still continues to use emotes such as FeelsBadMan and FeelsGoodMan (both as BetterTV Global Emotes). As both of those are pepe emotes the command clearly isn't working correctly. Any way to fix this? Maybe custom responses for the modules?
would I get DMCA'd from Twitch by using the songrequest feature in streamelements? because people are going to be playing music that isn't fair use
Yes, you run the risk of getting DMCA strikes
how often would you say that happens to streamers with 100-ish followers?
Follow number does not matter, twitch automatically scans your VODs. :/
If you are using OBS with different audio tracks, you can make the track that goes to your stream have the music and an audio track that gets recorded for the VOD not have the music @wispy elk 🙂 Thats what I do
I just ran into a strange issue with the online overlay editor. I am setting up an alert for Followers, Subs, etc..., but when I get to Raids and want to set the animation to "Fade In Down" "Fade Out Up" it doesn't work and just flashes it on the screen immediately. However if I set it to "Slide In Down" Slide Out Up" it will work that way. All of the other category animations work just fine with "Fade In Down" "Fade Out Up". So I am curious if that option isn't truly available for Raids.
How would I go about setting that up?
@wispy elk I can DM you some links that we're helpful to me when setting it up!
I would greatly appreciate that, thank you!
Hi, I'm trying to start my stream but it keeps giving me the error: "could not access the specified channel or stream key, please double-check your stream key" I already logged out and back in to my twitch channel on obs but still nothing
@rugged mesa You may want to double check that you have the accurate stream key from Twitch in your OBS settings and then try again.
How do I check that?
Go to your Twitch dashboard>Settings>Stream and on the right you will see you stream key
Copy your stream key and go to OBS: Settings>Stream
Click the "Disconnect" button so that you can re-enter your stream key that you just got from Twitch and then click Apply at the bottom
Then try to stream again
@rugged mesa if this doesn't work, please let us know
Thank you that worked!!!
hello use the stream elelments importing tool to import my alerts from SL to SE and the alerts make sounds but doens't appear. anyhelp would be awesome
from what I could see, it's a specific combination of animations on the Raid alert, right?
Yes
I havent tried every animation yet but so far it seems only the Fade In Down/Fade Out Up doesnt work as intented
I'll have that looked at, thank you!
You're welcome and thank you for your service. 😄
so the animation shows but not in the actual. when i test the follower alerts only the name appears no animation nothing. the css and image/animation shows to be imported correctly
I think I found the inherent issue with THAT animation. When used for any other alert the "Duration" can be left on "Default" meaning no user input/change to the time, but on "Default" for Raids it has the instant flash on screen. However, changing the "Default" to "1" makes the animation work as intended.
Adding to that, the !gamble command is the culprit here but it doesn't show up in the modules or the commands or custom commands so there is no way to disable it
how does the song request feature work while streaming to multiple platforms at once?
Hey traffy im having the same issue with chat stats, i changed my name a long time ago from "iLLneSzHD" too now "BostonAlex" but when my followers run the command for chat stats it gives them a error 404 can you help if you have a sec? thank you
On the stream elements extensions panel i wanna add things to it but its just blank i redownload it again and tried things i thought would help yet to no avail.what should i do?
Loyalty store items will appear in the extension panel once you have created them in the loyalty store.
Done
Could you check mine aswell please Orsuna ? #helpdesk-twitch message
If they don’t remember what it was changed from then there won’t be much they can do
Oh okay, is there anyway to find out if it was changed ?
Hey there. Been using Twitch Studio but in the past month Streamelements does not send sound to my stream no matter what I try to do: checked on studio, checked on streamelements overlays, checked volumes. Problem is that I have another overlay from dragonpets that works just fine. Any hint?
Okay thanks, I'll try find out if I can and come back, thanks for the info
It’s most likely a setting with twitch studio.
tried everything from muting to volume :\
This will be a dumb question but only thing I can think of: in your StreamElements dashboard > activity feed > are alerts muted?
If you test them in obs studio do they work?
never used obs
That’s the easiest way to determine if it’s a twitch studio issue or streamelements issue
I'll try to learn how to and test it... thanks for answering
testing on streamlabs
I put my overlay on obs studio for just alerts, sometimes when Im testing the alerts it just doesnt show up on OBS. There a way I could have it consistently work?
thank you!
@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 check Shutdown source when not visible. https://youtu.be/KDvLynUqXI4
oh I never knew about the Shutdown source part. Thank you!
Hello, im trying to get some custom bot commands setup where it pulls a random line in a pastebin I have setup. I was able to do this with nightbot but since I want to switch everything over to streamelements I can't seem to figure out the best way to get this done.
@vernal spindlehttps://thefyrewire.com/docs/api/twitch/pastebin/
Thank you!
so i imported some alerts from streamlabs, but only one set imported, and the custom css didn't work in streamelements. i installed a new alert from their gallery but it's abysmally slow in the obs preview, and it plays both my follow and donation sound for some reason. how can i fix this?
Found it!
The original twitch name was: taco_and_burrito

@marble spear I see you're having that issue with the currency importing 
Would you mind showing a screenshot of the csv file?
Yes please! I don’t think I can get it for some reason!
Thanks for trying to help!
For some reason, my custom tokens for my hype cup are cropped weirdly where you only see a corner of them and i have no idea how to fix it
Sorry I read this wrong I don’t have a cvs file that’s what I’m struggling to get, I can back up everything as xlsx files but I can’t get the currency.cvs file and don’t seem to have the option.
Do you have excel by chance?
or google spreadsheets work
Just got the online version now!
streamelements isn't importing the data.xlsx from the streamlabs chatbot. it says import failed no matter what i do. there is no header or footer
remove any sfx commands
Hey I need some help, I saw on represent.com that there was a way to link up Streamelements. I have alerts coming in when someone buys a shirt on my "Activity Feed" but I cant seem to make an alert pop up on the overlay. Is there any way to get this done?
I have a question can I intergrate streamelements with regular obs or do I need to use obs.live?
Streamelements Dashboard > Streaming Tools > My Overlays. Click on Edit on the overlay you want to edit and a new tab will open for you with the overlay editor.
Probably you have to insert a new widget on your overlay. Go to your overlay Editor and add (+ icon) "Alerts > Merchandise Alert Box"
You can use either OBS.Live or OBS Studio. Or any other system that allows you to add a browser source
how do I add it?
Can this work somehow?```
Any news on this?
On your OBS, go to your Sources window > + button > Browser
Check #widget-share
sorry, what link would I add?
Ive tried doing that but it's not there. It wont show up as a "Merch Alert"
on activity feed it is filtered as "Purchases "
On Streamelements Dashboard, go to your overlays and click on three dots on the overlay you already have. Then copy the link using the option "Copy URL".
Hi 😄 I'm a StreamElements Alert noob, is it possible to have multiple profiles for alerts? (i.e one profile for default sound alerts, another profile for scary alert sounds, and so on) that can be toggled on and off (not general variations of sounds). I'm assuming once a general alert overlay is created, to then duplicate and change up the sounds for it, but is there an easy way to toggle which profile is enabled?
I'm also having an issue with transferring over my alerts from SL, it's giving me "An error occurred" when using the StreamElements Import Plugin for SL.
oh it's in there? I'll go there
do i have to import all of them seperatly? and will the alerts still work?
you can actually add multiple alert boxes into a single overlay and disable them using the eyeball icon on the layer list.
Yeah, purchases should appear on "merchandise alert box". But I just added here and checked the option was unchecked when I added, so I had to check it. Did you make sure it is checked?
yes it was checked, but it still wont go through
I need some help my chatstats page shows "404 - Page Not Found"
Orsuna, sorry to keep bugging, I found the previous username, I sent it in a message earlier
There is no such thing there.
Give it a bit and it should resolve itself
Okay, thanks again 🙂
I don't know if the link it working
If you emulate a "Merch event", does it show on your overlay editor and OBS?
Psst. If you happen to be switching to @StreamElements for whatever reason and need a way to read text from a remote source, I got you covered 😊
Use it to generate random responses, build chat games, create fact/joke commands and more! Go ham 💥 https://t.co/LRPNrGXBjR
check that one
When i do emulate merch event it works for the SE.Merch items but not for represent items
Thanks man, appreciate it! :)
It depends on how your overlays are configured. Check if the playlist below can help you

doesn't look right in OBS?
is it set to 1920 x 1080?
where can i set that?
oh im dumb thanks
one more questions, sorry will I need ot stream in order to update the overlay. currently it doesn't have my most recent follower
Hmm, I don't know how the represent website works on Streamelements, could not find anything on the internet. Maybe they have some menu for that on their website, but as I don't have an account there, there is not much I can do. Isn't there an alert for that on their own website?
Well, you can add it manually if you want, or you can just wait for a new follower. SE will capture those data from the day you connected your Twitch account with it. In case want to add it manually for the first time: https://streamelements.com/dashboard/session
Just put the name you want in "Latest follower" and it should appear on your overlay.
I couldnt find it at all either but i found it on the tools to link on the represent website. I linked it and it now shows up on my activity feed but not as alerts, I havent found it anywhere else. just thought i would as if there was any help here
so it will work automatically after someone follows?
Yes
okay sorry for all my questions, I just wanna be sure im doing it right, its my first time using this
thanks for all the help so far
Maybe you could check with them to see if this is expected. Ask them if they can provide some directions on that and maybe we can understand what is going on.
No worries, you are in the right place 🙂
would I be able to have the same overlay work for both youtube and twitch alerts?
You would need one overlay for twitch and one for YouTube
so im having this issue when trying to import from streamlabs
it gets stuck on the last media file every time
Hi everyone,
quick question from a StreamElements newbie:
Am I supposed to see the chat alert when I emulate an alert in the backend? I enabled it in the chatbot section and I also made sure the checkmark for "show in live stream" is ticked. I see the animation and hear the sound in obs fine but I don't see a chat message.
Hey guys, who can help me switch my streamelements url to my old one. My old url when I was on Mixer was streamelements.com/cubanees but now with Twitch its streamelements.com/cubanees-336. Obviously I cant recover my older url because I cant login with Mixer anymore. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
hello, i recently changed my twitch name. i used to have a lot of points on someone's streamelements store and now they are all gone. Can i get them back or any idea what i can do?
you should ask the owner of that channel to give you the points manually if they can verify that it's really your switched account?
i just name change, no account switch
Can somebody help how I can add a command as a mod in chat as when I try it says invalid syntax
What are you putting?
@green flame ⤵️
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 check Shutdown source when not visible. https://youtu.be/KDvLynUqXI4
Did you actually add a command? you can trigger?
No because it just tells me invalid syntax , how do you actually add a command
you need to add a chat command in the chat bot section
You can’t do it in chat as a mod ?
In order for a chat command to work you need to add it first.
Is there an actu al counter command?
@spare delta Yeah you can as that link I sent you just need to type it in chat - !command add (commandname) (commandresponse)
No that’s what I’m trying to add , I type !command add and any command I try to type it just says invalid syntax
as a channel mod, no. You need to be added as a bot supervisor in the streamer's dashboard before you can create commands
Okay maybe this is why then
ah sorry, I misunderstood the question then 🙂
Ohhh must had that already oops
Oh wait, I did !command add test test and it worked, so how do I add a counter 😂
Ah okay ty ty both
The variables are available via the chat bot section of the dashbaord for reference 😄
Hello, my mods created a command in my chat last night and when i went to streamelements to delete it, it wasnt there. However when I type the command in chat, the command is still active. How can i delete this command?
Is it StreamElements that responds to the command?
yes, I made sure it wasn't active on mixitup or on nightbot
!command delete <command name>
that didn't work
I have a question so I have a clip and if you look at the chat in the bottom left, how do I have the fade at the top of the chat and also a chat shadow / outline on the chat itself. What code do I need to put into the Twitch chat on the widget to do this? I want to have a fade on chat for the top and have the chat have a shadow. Please and Thank you. https://clips.twitch.tv/ScrumptiousSincereMosquitoYouDontSay-tKa9QI10sZSlFGQy
Can you let me know your account ID and the command name?
do i just put my account ID here?
Yes, that's fine
Hi I'm just setting up my alerts and when I emulate an alert it says "emulation sent, but alerts are muted" - any idea where to toggle the mute off?
are you using obs studio with obs.live?
yes
I was able to delete it, thank you all for your help!
check in your activity feed in obs that you don't have them muted (the little bell at the top)
Was just taking a look, glad you got it!
@worn pivot ah there's a button on activity feed ty! just used dashboard to fix it
I am not sure if that is the issue but it's worth a double check 🙂
Especially if you check the alerts in OBS like I do.
@worn pivot yeah activity feed i normally use on browser dashboard on the website but ill pop it up on obs as well
ty 🙂
So I am trying to get OBS to ignore my music in Twitch VODs but the problem is, is the setting for that in the output tab is only available when your current service is on Twitch, but in my case I am using Restream to stream to Twitch and Trovo. Is there any way I can still have this feature while using Restream?
Does this mean that the StreamElements bot will send a message when a viewer redeems twitch's channel points? 😄
No
I have an alert overlay set up that there is an alert for when someone redeems a channel point redemption, that I got from the widget gallery
Right now, only a redemption with a message included with it showed up on the alert overlay, when it should be all of them

Hello guys, my loyalty points are not working, everything is set up just right but the dots don't update, I've tried removing the bot and adding it again

Any information on the error?

What is working with the points system specifically?
They are not updating
I use my store with the points
Is it saying viewers don't have points, is there a command that isn't working?
And how are you checking the points?
I'm checking for !points and through the website
no, all commands are working
only the points don't update
Hello, in the chat commands menu, are the user and global cooldowns in seconds or minutes?
Is this for all users in the chat? @craggy spear
yes, including me
Unfortunately no, it's via the chrome extension install that's on the import page for profiles. It starts the import process but then stops saying just "An error Occurred"
Is there any staff member here who can help me with an "SE Sponsorships" campaign issue I'm having? I'm doing the sponsorship directly from the SE website, so I don't really have a campaign manager. It's a pretty urgent issue, and I sent a support ticket, but it's been 4 hours with no response. It's an ongoing campaign, so the clock is ticking down as we speak
Would you happen to have any vods/screenshots of the command being tested?
Do you have both dashboards open? And are there any large assets being transferred?
Yes
We normally cycle these requests from discord to email, i will check and see if I can respond to yours here shortly
Thanks!
that's the same thing for 10 hours +-
Yes to having both dashboards open, as for large assets, I'm not entirely sure. I do have a lot of different varying profiles on SL. (Also thank you for all that you're doing in this server, holy moly. o.o I'll see what I can do with just re-creating everything entirely rather importing. Thank you though.
So the points went from 0 to 310, and then stopped? Was this all during a 10 hour live stream?
Large assets can cause the import to fail, sometimes cutting big things out will help if you decide to try again!
Hello, is anyone able to help with chat bot? In the chat commands menu, are the user and global cooldowns in seconds or minutes?
cooldowns are in seconds
I'm not sure if it stopped on that stream, but I know it stopped today, I did 2 streams today. The points only stop today
Perfect, thank you so much!
if you go in my stream now, you wait 10 minutes and no points 😦
When you say assets, do you mean just multiple alert profiles? Or generally images and things?
Generally images/videos/media assets
It looks like the stream is a rerun, in which points are not accumulated
Is there a way to add a basic colored background to a text field? I want to make a background for recent subscribers that automatically matches the length of the text field when it updates
but many streamers use rerun to leave farm points
doesn't work anymore?
Our loyalty system does not work with reruns, it's possible they are going for twitch channel points
You could add an image as a layer and set it behind, but there wouldn't be a feature to have it automatically match the text
Hi. I just recently switched to stream elements for alerts and I went across this song requests feature. Is it possible to like make users to request songs from channel pts redemptions directly rather than command input?
We don't have any integration with the Twitch channel points
Rip ok
are alerts still not working correctly?
Does using song requests feature increase cpu usage in obs?
There aren't any known issues at the moment with alerts
Yes, it will cause an increase as it's calling a source to run
well that is upsetting, none of my custom alerts are working in OBS. The text shows but not the mp4s
Is it possible to let the widget play after we close the redemptions quueu tab?
is there a way to link alerts and stuff between platforms? I'm using Restream and I have my Twitch and Trovo accounts logged in on StreamElements, but if I want alerts from both Twitch and Trovo do I have to make 2 overlays and 2 separate alert boxes?
Yes. One for each platform. You can add both to obs.

I am on the linux version and that is not an option
in overlay, how can i add top 3 tippers that resets monthly?
Quick chatbot question is there a way to make it so when you spend your twitch points it could activate a command without anyone typing anything at the time of submission?
Check out TriggerFyre
Click on the session data icon in the editor. You should be able to set per month or per stream reset
It’s up top towards the save button
got it thanks!
Hello, How do you rename the streamelements bot using through ground control only?
The !points command doesn't trigger and give a response
have you made sure your loyalty settings and command are not disabled ? 🤔
They aren't
mmm let me try this
@hard lance ⤵️
If your commands recently stopped working and you're using OBS.Live and a custom bot name do the following:
- In OBS.Live, click on the hamburger menu (three stripes) at the top left of your activity feed
- Click on Stream Settings > Custom bot name
- 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/re4theQ.png).
- Scroll a bit down and click on the purple Connect Custom Bot Account button
- Log in as usual and Authorize the custom bot name
- Back in the Activity feed, click on the Send Test Message button and check if your custom bot name starts working again
oh
@hard lance Ignore my DM Try this first ^^^^
ps thank you to whoever did the command I'd totally forgot about the bot its been awhile since I tried helping out 
thank you sudo 
like my kill and death commands work its just not the points command
how do i add themes to my obs with stream elements
@tender oriole ⤵️

Hello how things are going! I wanted to see how I could fix the page not found error in the chatstats part of my twitch channel, I think it's because a few months ago I changed my username
Question about alerts, are there any supported file types with an alpha channel? my alerts are all either in .mov or .apng and neither of those are supported in the overlays.
Only webm
when i go live on obs it is playing all sounds but its not displaying my game???
like no image is displaying at all on twitch but its all there on obs

I am not able to change my bot name to a custom name after following the steps. I am using ground control. Could someone please advise me? I see on the website it asks to have the feature turned on by reaching out through discord.
@hexed egret While I can have staff handle that for you it isn't recommended for use since it is no longer receiving updates and can be rather buggy at times.
Question, maybe I'm just not seeing the option. Is it possible to change the resolution of an overlay after you've already created it?
Go to overlays and click the 3 dots for the overlay in question > Properties
Marvelous. Thank you.
Do note it doesn't rescale the widgets added.
No that's exactly what I wanted. When I imported my alerts it started a something like 500x400 overlay so I just wanted more space to work with.
Is there anyway to have my chat in the chat widget start at the top and go to the bottom, so just flip it?
@winter crown I can't personally check right now but I'm very confident I've seen that before. If not in the default widget then one of the custom ones in #widget-share - when I get back to my computer in a bit, if you haven't found it, I'll take another look but I am 99.9% sure it's there.
I've got a bit of an odd question, and hopefully this is the right channel for it. With Nightbot, we had our death counter set up so that if the streamer had yet to die in-game, the command "!deaths" would display "(Streamer) has yet to die", and one a death was added, it would display "(Streamer) has died X times". We also had a command that, when called, would reset the counter to zero and automatically reset the "!deaths" response to display the original message about the streamer not yet having died. I've got the death counter itself figured out, but is there a way to replicate the rest of that setup with the Stream Elements bot?
Hello! Is there any possibility to translate "Giveaway" module on other languages?
Anyone know if it's possible to remove the cheermote animations from the cheer alerts message text? I've tried using both the ezpz sliders and buttons, as well as editing the custom HTML/CSS/JavaScript. The animations still get typed out and waste a lot of text space on screen. The TTS doesn't read them, so I know at some point they can be filtered out of the cheer message technically.
have you tried checking your variations?
Yeah I have. Seems like the {{message}} parameter contains them, it's not a setting anywhere that I could find
A related issue is that when I edit the css sheet to change the font, the original size of the cheermotes is enabled for some reason and it looks very awkwardly large:
You may have already tried this, but if you delete the alert message does that work?
Hi, do you know if an alert can be ignored because the username contains an obscene word? It happens to me with a friend named Vassag0 and no alerts are raised when he performs an action. I thought it might be because of that, but I can't find anything about it. Can somebody help me? Thank you.
If I uncheck "Show cheer messages", then nothing shows, including the cheermotes. However I'd still like to show the text on-screen if possible, just sans big animated cheermotes
you can check if the span filter is being used
Here is mine and it doesn’t show the persons message on screen, but I am also not using css editor.
here it is without using anything custom. the "my name is Bill" gets blown up into being super wide
spam filters are all deactivated in the general options, inside the overlay I can't find any options
Do you want it to show the “my name is bill” part at all?
what action did he perform?
Ideally yes
my channels chat stats arent working, it says error 404 page not found. I dont know how to fix it. Anyone have any ideas?
Checking the css to see if I see anything in the code.
cool, always happy to have another pair of eyes on it 
Do you have cheer variations?
Alright, gimme a second
have you changed your name?
Hmm nope. It still shows the cheermote. Maybe I'm just the first person who wants cheer text without the cheermotes in them and the code for {{message}} just doesn't support that yet
Ohhhhhh I see what your saying you don’t want it to read/show “My name is Bill Bit1 Corgi50”
Yes! if someone cheers My cheer1 name cheer1 is cheer1 Bill cheer1, I just want the text to show My name is Bill. That is what the TTS reads, actually, it does skip the cheermotes. But the actual text on the screen does not skip them for some reason.
HHhhhmmmm….That is weird. Ohhh wait what if you you just do “cheer1 My name is Bill”? So the bits aren’t in between the words. I use TTS but don’t so the messages. So I have never had this issue.
Yeah, I'm probably a unusual case. Thanks for the help though 😄
I always to my bits at the beginning or end...but that doesn't mean a random user will always do it. Just trying to future proof haha
give away subscriptions, the message appears in the chat but the alert does not jump. with other people it works well
My thought is it reads the 1st bit as a cheer and the rest of the bits as a message. So that could be the situation. I alway cheer then message. I guess their could be some savage troll giving 10 bitties in between each word.
Yeah. I also just think it looks cleaner if there's no emotes in the text at all. I would just play the original cheer emote as an image above the actual cheer message text.
But this is just a problem because I wanted to show the text on screen, I guess
yeah, i changed it a couple months ago
what is the old name?
Yeah I have never seen the emote text not show up in the message on other peoples chat. Which is why I have mine off.
I think everyone would love if emote weren’t read/show as text in the message.
I think that as well.
I will fall to my backup strategy of using the custom javascript to search for all cheermotes and remove them from the text, but I wanted to see if there was any other way before doing that. Thanks!
Rough…GLHF @bold yoke Have a good night! (Night for me lol)

Good morning all! Having a slight issue with a slide within our overlay. We have a looped video that shows our socials/active giveaways and it is just crashing at the end. In overlay settings when we preview the file it says "the video cannot be played because the file is corrupt" even though the file is completely fine when we play it in any video player. So it is set to loop and is completely fine up until the end , then it crashes and therefor can't loop. Any insight as to why only SE is saying the file is corrupt?
what is the file type?
Webm
and is it set to loop or does it have a start and finish?
Is there a fix for the stream elements leaderboard, gifted subs still showing no data and have tried resetting in totals, tried uninstall and log out and in etc, nothing is working but everything else is showing fine?
we're looking into this at the moment
it is a 2:33 file. it starts and goes through each of the socials and then ends. Its set to loop within SE but just doesnt loop. when looking at the file in overlays it comes up with that error in the image above at the end of the preview
The file has been re rendered a few times too to ensure that its not actually corrupted. All fine and plays fine in any video player
can you select it even with the preview looking like that?
@lament blade might need your help with this person in #helpdesk-youtube
Yes it allows me to select it
it plays fine on stream. just crashes at the end and therefor doesnt loop
will give that a shot
let me know if you need any further help
could someone help me with setting up sub alert variations ? I thought I had it setup correctly, but my sub alerts keep playing twice 
and it's only sub alerts, so I'm positive i've fluffed something with the variation settings
Do you have multiple alertboxes in said overlay or in multiple scenes?
I'm just double checking that
yes actually, I have the alert box widgest in my starting, ending And in my "main" scenes
Make sure the bottom option of disabling when not active is enabled.
in obs ? yeah I got that ticked on all
On all scenes and overlays?
yes sir
Please provide a log from your last stream. To do this, in OBS go to Help > Log Files > Upload Current Log File and paste the link to the log file here.
^ was that for me 
Maybe 
And only the alerts sources have the alertbox?
oh i should have cleared that up, the ones that marked as "alerts" were the old ones via streamlabs but i have those hidden,
for example
so "elements start" in Starting, "Elements main" in "Scene" and Elements end in Ending are the 3 sources that have alerts via SE
its only the sub alerts that play twice tho, things like donos, bits, hosts, etc. only play once.
Hey, so I'm working on switching all my Alerts from StreamLabs to StreamElements and I'm having an issue with Variations.
I have been trying to change the variations of the Sub Alert, but I set the video I want (it shows in the little preview box in the settings), save variation, go to test and the only thing that has changed is the text stuff. the video stays as the same default one. I go back to edit the Variation, and it shows the Video I want there in the little preview box still, but it just wont play it. if anyone knows a fix or if I'm doing something wrong let me know!
i'd recommend making sure the parameters you're setting for the test don't match the default alert
that's what it sounds like
okay nm for some reason its working all of the sudden....
I have switched from Streamlabs to StreamElements. Disconnected Streamlabs from Twitch, completely uninstalled Streamlabs (making my PCU happy) yet Streamlabs alerts are coming up on top of the StreamElements ones. Is there something I missed?
also thx, i'll keep that in mind if it happened again
check your obs, maybe you're running streamlabs alerts on a source as well as StreamElements?
Hi, I am relatively new to Streamelements. Got one question: Can I use variables in the automatic tweet when i start the stream, such as name of the game
This is StreamElements, not Streamlabs
Not as far as I know.
My mistake. I meant streamelements. Sorry.
Good morning. Maybe someone can help me here.
I use obs studio and have streamelements alerts, chatbox etc. linked via browser link. Now I have the problem that all functions of streamelements are suddenly no longer displayed during the stream, neither alerts nor chat. Does someone have the same problem or even a solution?
Operating system would be Windows 11
Thanks in advance
Hi, i'm having troubles with streamelements bot. Even if i'm correctly logged in both in streamelements and OBS (27.1.3, 64 bit), the bot is not working. I tried to log/unlog and even to part and join back but it seems kinda bugged, any idea?
@dark hearth unfortunately no can do.

Please part the bot from your dashboard > logout of StreamElements at https://streamelements.com/logout > log in again > re-invite the bot > mod it (make sure it's not muted).
It's been two days in a row where they haven't worked properly, is there a fix coming soon?
Anyone know why using my own name for the bot deosn't work? Just doesn't work at all if i have my own name selected in the popout window
Done tons of times and done again rn, still not working

mb try to re-login to SE, then remove bot from dashboard and add&mod it again
I also had this problem but it resolved by itself after a few days or so
its like that for me every other day! gets so annoying
Hi. Look slike we had a duplicate account in the system. Our developers will fix the issue over a few business days.
@craggy geyser could you try /unban streamelements
it's working fine for me rn
So each time I log into stream elements OBS live the live chat dox does not connect I've tried removing it and adding it again I also deleted SE OBS and installed again any other ideas to make it work?
hello, is there a way to switch between the plugin version and the original version of obs since when im recording a video i dont need to see my chat
Thanks!
for some reason the watchtime command in my chat has never worked and i dont know why it just says 0 secs when putting the command in chat
@slate halo ⤵️
The !watchtime command is directly tied to the Loyalty system. The Loyalty system must be enabled for viewers' watchtime to count up.
To enable Loyalty, please go to the Loyalty section of your account: https://streamelements.com/dashboard/loyalty
Watchtime counts up every 10 minutes alongside Loyalty points, and only while the stream is live. Reruns will not be counted.
Please note that watchtime is not tracked by Twitch and there is no way to retroactively apply past watchtime to viewers.
got it thanks
It’s showing this each time I try to type in my chat and it won’t show chat at all I have to use my phone to see chat and type there

Hi there - still hoping to get some assistance with this query. I can’t access the chatstats page and would really like to be able to use this information/data. Hoping someone could let me know how to fix this issue?
Hold 1
is there a way to have streamelements as a separate program from obs so that i can use the original for recording videos and the plugin version for streaming?
Why would you do that?
because i dont need to see my twitch chat when im doing a video for youtube
Just get rid of the dock when you don't need it.
You can hide those docks.
Then add them back when you need them.
If you really wanted to run two separate instances of OBS, you can right click + shift programs and you will see an option to run it as another user in the computer. Most programs will run that way and you can just not install OBS.Live on that instance but it would be significantly easier and less cumbersome to just ignore or hide the docks you don't need.
hello i would like to ask if will be in the future an option to livestream through streamelements irl? i know that there is app for android but if there will be app on iOS. Thanks
Hello my chatstats are not working since i have changed my username on twitch. new name KattahSalt
Hello, I have just started using StreamElements and my chatbox makes most of my messages disappear after a while, I thought I set it to not to do that but it keeps happening, any idea on how to fix this?
Hi, i still have the issue that when i want to edit my SE Overlay directly from OBS (Open in SE Overlay Editor) it shows me "Uh-oh... Overlay does not exist".
I tryed Log in and out but nothing worked
There is a radio toggle button for "Show messages permanently"
Ok so, I'm using a pre-existing chatbox and it doesnt have that, what do I do about that?
Are you able to find the Chatbox in the Overlay(s)? I think I may be confused about what is happening. Are you able to take note of your current settings and size, delete the old one and add it again?
I have my Chat as its own browser source because my overlays change so much, but that should not change what is available with the widget.
I imported my alerts from Streamlabs and it used custom css so it won’t work. I used one of the alerts from the gallery but now it’s playing multiple sounds at once
The chat box comes from streamelements arcade pop, my friend has it and he shared it with me
Was it part of a themed overlay or a new chat widget?
You can use the prism live app on iPhone and add your overlays from there
It looks like it is a NERDorDIE overlay added to StreamElements. You will need your friend to go to the overlay chat widget, and change the chat animation. From this video, it looks like it is at the bottom of the settings section, and animation section https://nerdordie.com/setup-guides/arcade-pop-setup-guide/, if that doesn't work the overlay, may need updating https://nerdordie.com/product/arcade-pop/
Hi, I was wondering if there was any video formats that can be uploaded to StreamElements that support alpha transparency?
webm
What i change the language?
Apologies if this isn't the right place to ask this, so please if it's not, let me know where I should ask!
I'm coming back to streamelements after making an account in 2018, and I really wanted to use it again.
However, on my channel, and on my tipping page as well my old twitch username is displayed.
It has been more than a year since the name change happened, i have logged out and back in, and i'm a bit stuck.
Anyone have any ideas?
shystarfall is the new username, shows up fine on the accounts page
sleepi_tv being the old, show up on the tipping page

What would be the recommended way to getting the custom bot name?
@hexed egret ⤵️
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
Do I need to stream using obs live? I use slobs
removed the sfx tab, it still didn't work. unless i just clear that table out and leave the tab in the document intact?
you shouldn't have any blank spots if I remember correctly
what do you mean?
@thick frigate ⤵️
You can test alerts via the Emulate bell on the lower left side of the Overlay Editor. Simply go to your Dashboard > My Overlays > pencil/edit button on the overlay. Make sure the Preview LIVE on stream option is on to see the alert in OBS/XSplit** https://streamable.com/vtulg9
How can i set the latest Follow, latest Donation, latest Follow ? It should be say tuned everytime
No, but the custom bot name will only work while having obs.live opened
You can use widgets with these labels
on Streamelements or on Twitch?
@dry hare what do you mean by "blank spots" in data.xlsx?
can someone please tell us what going on with the gifted subs top list? it's been down for weeks. @sudden shuttle @zenith harbor @lament blade @dense basin @west grail @lament blade @hexed fern @cedar nimbus and so many more are having issues... still no word from @nocturne pelican ? can someone please answer the question "when will the gifted subscribers list be fixed?"
Ok thanks
THX!
can someone help me, my stream is ending automaticly random with obs with streamelements
the dev team is already looking into this, thank you for your patience
how so? that's actually a really weird behavior that has nothing to do with StreamElements
Usually is related with your internet connection
oh, i didnt had that problem when streaming with streamlabs though
am i aloud to tagg or?
probably either hotkeys or timer if its not internet disconnection
It's getting annoying now, 0 communication, all we hear is, we are working on it, it's starting to get embarrassing tbh.
And then you get another answer that says absolutely nothing. We already know you are looking into it, for weeks already, tell us something, anything except, we are already looking into it.
hi guys, i need some help with completing my raid shadow legends goal, ive submitted a ticket through the online ticket form but i need this resolving asap if possible please. by completing i mean i need the 2 hours of raid shadow legends gameplay part updating manually 🙂
I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this question, but when editing my alertbox that has been imported from StreamLabs, the area that displays the alerts is stuck at 800x600px, I'm not sure how to fix this
If you duplicate the alert box widget to a different overlay can you resize it?
@devout sedge ⤵️
Please contact us via email for support with your campaign or sponsorship. You can use our contact form here: https://streamelements.com/contact Thank you.
i have already contacted online
They should reach out soon
Ah neat, thanks! That worked
thank you very much 🙂
anyone able to help ? i trying to werk out in stream labs how i get donation alerts, via stream elements ( i use stream elements for my donations not stream labs
but i donmt get notifications in stream
Guys I have two alertbox in one overlay. One with small size and one for sub bombs with large size.
If I get 5 gift subs then only coming the 5 gift subs alert and not the individually alerts.. can i get change this option ? And can i set a delay first 5er sub gift and then the individually alerts ? Thanks for help.
re: data.xlsx - what do you mean by "blank spots"? i was told to remove the SFX commands, so i got rid of the SFX tab in data.xlsx and it still fails to import
I poked staff
keep me posted, i have to afk soon
make sure there are no empty rows, if there are, try removing them
i made sure there were no empty rows and it still failed. someone will have to help me one on one later. have to attend to some stuff pretty soon so not right now
send us an email at support@streamelements.com attaching the file you're trying to import
Dumb question is the chatbot and the overlay able to intermingle?
example, lets say that the overlay has a hypeboss, would it be possible for people to use their points via a chatbot command to do damage to the boss?
I believe bits and tips do?
can I change my username to not have random numbers at the end?
after porting over from streamlabs is anyone else having problems with twitch extension leaderboard not showing correct info and no history of gifted or cheers on the SE dashboard
<span class="cheermote-1">
<img class="alertbox-message-emote" alt="ripcheer1" src="cheer link"/>
1
</span>
Test message
^^ if anyone was reading my question last night, I figured out that the above code is what replaces the {{message}} when using the Custom CSS option in the cheer alerts.
This isn't really a suggestion or a question, just relaying what I found by poking around 
Perhaps they would find it useful to know, though
Thanks for the heads up!
Hi, how can I emulate a sub with no text message? Every time I try a custom one with a blank message it fills in a default one
I was wondering if there was some support videos or something that explains your service and how I might switch from Streamlabs?
Hey guys my buddy is having this error in media page
Any ideas what it could be?
Ping me i have dicord on silent😅
Hi all. Wonder if anyone can provide some advice.
I’ve used twitch inspector to test stream and I can’t figure out how these answers make sense or if I have settings screwed up:
With dynamic bitrate turned on, regardless of what I set the bitrate, resolution or FPS to I get like 1.5mbps average and pixelisation on real stream.
With dynamic off:
Ran 720p at 30FPS with 3mbps and run at 1-2% framedrop average like 2.8mbps
Ran at 4mbps, 1-2% frame drop average 3.8mbps
1080p at 60fps and 5mbps - guess what, high 4mbps and 1-2% frame drop.
My internet is 120/50.
Soo confused why if I can average 4.8mbps why can’t it sustain 3 happily and be silky smooth at 720p and 30FPS???
Frame drop is from live obviously but in all cases inspector says everything is fine
where can i ask for help with my payments?
Wondering what good this does when it is just a constant stream of questions with no other interaction?

only thing staff could think of was that it was related to a possible region restriction
Good evening, does anyone know why the statistics of my streamelements chat do not load or can no longer be put?
can you screenshot what you're referring to?
Thanks @dry hare will give that a go. I’m on CBR I know that but will check psycho (whatever this is 😂) as I am using nvenc
may need to enable advanced encoder settings to turn it off
This is just such an enormous task trying to move everything over to streamelements. I am really bummed
why is it "such an enormous task"?
Really? I’m total noob and I switched from SLOBs to elements in like 20 mins and happy days. Everything transferred simple
No disrespect to the platform. It's just I struggle with getting eveything set up and working correctly. There is chatbots, pay portals ( I don't use paypal and I heard that SE pay was having serious issues, so scary), overlays and alerts, and on and on. I want to move over but this is going to set my stream back for a long time.
We are having similar issues @rapid oar
I mean when you know what you are doing, it is easy, but when you already struggle, then this becomes an endless time suck when I have not very much time to spend on this
Speaking of, anyone know how to do roll a giveaway without loyalty points? We like to name game characters after chat members, but we don't want to require loyalty points and tickets and all that
my chat stats come out like this
This used to be easy in SL
Well, SL sucks - no offense to you. They are criminal and I refuse to support them any further
did you change your name on twitch recently?
@solemn moth but you are correct, they made it easy
give me a minute
1000% that's why we are switching @rapid oar but everything is a struggle
no i haven't changed it
I feel your pain @solemn moth
I didn't mean to sound like a jerk about SL, they just aggravate me
@small edge ⤵️
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.
can you grab that for me?
I believe you can set the ticket cost to 0 so it doesn't restrict anything
So we tried that and it won't let anybody enter
You should be able to use the import tool to bring over your alerts, overlays, etc.
and giveaways are working if you don't set it to 0?
We haven't tried that, we don't want to use the loyalty point system
@dry hare I get that, but once I do that I blow everything up and it can take a long time to get things back to where I am right now. My next stream is wed night which gives me tonight and tomorrow night after work to get this up and running.
what I do ?? uu
I know there are other tools...but I'm blanking on what they are at the moment
go into your streamelements dashboard and locate your account ID and paste it here
So with StreamLabs, you added every single widget/label to your scene right?
hello, is this the right channel to ask about streamelements and facebook?

I use OBS not SLOBS, but I have been using streamlabs for my alerts and such. I just want to get away from streamlabs. I started streaming in May and to be honest I couldn't get any of to work hardly, there is a guy in my community who has helped me several times to get things working, and if I go to streamelements, then I have no help
believe me, we are here for everyone. I'm a volunteer and I help during work hours while I'm not working on a project.
and late at night while drinking at the bar
I help all the time
check it now
Sorry to jump in. Is there an easy way or an FAQ I could be pointed to about moving to the SE bot from the SL one? Or is it just a tedious job haha
commands and whatnot?
thank you @dry hare I do appreciate your help.
Yea!
I believe there's an import tool thing in the dashboard if you click on your profile picture in top right > Import > ankhbot(?)
which is what streamlabs stole for their chatbot
yeah, thank you friend, I was with this for months, thank you
So with streamlabs, everything got added in the streaming software as a “widget”. In streamelements you combine the widgets and layout your scene in the overlay editor and then add the single browser source to obs (instead of 4-75 browser sources)
It simplifies obs because you’re not trying to micromanage your widgets
@dry hare ok, so in OBS correct? So I would just be adding one browser source.
Per scene.
@dry hare that is the obs.live plugin?
The best thing to do is go to the themes gallery and create an overlay
Obs.live or obs studio vanilla
When you create an overlay in the themes gallery it generates an overlay for the 5 standard scenes a streamer has
Each has a unique URL
So you create the corresponding scene in obs, and add the corresponding overlay to that scene
@dry hare OK, one minute, I just created my streamelements account and haven't done anything else. My overlay that I am using isn't working, so I am fine starting over there.
This is mine
I have two browser sources: my overlay from streamelements, and my Triggerfyre overlay
Your source and scene can’t have the same name btw
Dunno why, it’s just a thing
So label your scene “starting scene” and your overlay “starting overlay”
It helps with organization later
@dry hare Ok, sorry to be dumber than a box of rocks, but I don't know what you are showing me in OBS, it isn't high enough rez to read the source/scene names
ok, got it
What am I looking for here?
I see your starting scene and game scene
sorry
yep. each has its own overlay
ok, so each scene has its own overlay, that was true for SL too. I had a scene for starting soon and one for Live (gameplay)
and each had a different overlay
The twitter module doesn't seem to be working for me, i've searched in a bunch of other places but didnt find anything about what i might be doing wrong other than capitalization. Any fix?
@dry hare just clarify with this. Should I use or not use the dynamic bitrate function? Thoughts?
no. CBR
always CBR and no dynamic bitrate
I believe known issue....?
and 30 different things in each scene right?
each label, each alert, each whatever
Oh ok - maybe that’s why I’ve been having these weird issues. Thanks dude
No, I have about the same as you or less even
I don't do alot of the stuff other streamers do, I just stream and hang out, I made affiliate but could care less about the money
Is it possible to create custom chatbot modules. It seems like there is a ton of features missing
@dry hare all my overlays and alerts were done on SL dashboard
#dev-chat is the best place to ask about that
Ok thanks
@dry hare Maybe I should just do the import and then see what blows up. Since I will change my overlays, no biggie there, its just the alerts and chatbot stuff that is the hardest to get working. I just got the auto ads feature working last night and haven't even used it in stream yet
and like I said, create one from a theme and experiment
@dry hare how do I unmod SL so I don't have two services trying to run my stream
/unmod streamlabs
in my chat?
yes
i have sent an email just now
is there any way to make it work?
Not at the moment. Devs are probably working on it
I've been using OBS to stream to Youtube, but I want to stream to twitch, and i've spend an hour trying to figure out how to stop it from trying to automatically broadcast me to Youtube. How do I switch it?
Hello! I'm actually piggybacking on a previous post from GenghisKharnage. He came in to try and help me figure out the giveaway system and if there's anything you can do to help I would appreciate it. I need this giveaway system up before the streamer I CM for goes live tomorrow.
Summary: I've been given full control over my streamers login for StreamElements. We've had smooth sailing so far except I'm hitting a wall on the giveaway tool. We have loyalty points disabled on the channel as we don't use them. However we use a giveaway tool to do things like choose a chat member to name pokemon after (what we're currently using it for).
I have the loyalty setting turned off (screenshot). And I've set the giveaway too cost 0 tickets and a maximum of 1 ticket per use because i can't set it to 0 (screenshot). However I'm getting no response at all when i try and do anything with the giveaway (2 screenshots).
Any ideas how to get this running properly?
Try !ticket 1
oh it did post! i can't see the message so i thought i messed something up
Hi someone can help me?
Also not sure if you need to be live
@stuck gust ⤵️
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 want to know if this possible use streamelements Android for I make a live by twitch and I want yo know if possible use discord audio and other game together
Because i dont have yet pc gamer and I make live by my smartphone
Are you live right now? I believe giveaways require being live
no, he isn't live. but i believe @solemn moth tested it in his channel and he wasn't live and he said it worked fine.
Can you screenshot everything in your browser window except the address bar?
I’m not quite sure I understand
you want me to start from setting up the giveaway?
i'll need to terminate the current one so i want to be sure
It worked fine on my channel without being live
@young kraken whose channel? No links.
Let’s start with closing the giveaway, and then screenshot your browser really quick. Whole thing if possible
This is one issue
that is the whole page from the create giveaway screen (no address bar) without me touching any settings
Command isn't enabled.
Which command needs to be enabled?
Enter
Yes. #helpdesk-mobile would be best place to ask
can someone explain why i can't see any messages
because apparently you've replied to me and i don't see anything
anybody can give me a tip for making a awesome custom logo for my twitch channel maybe?

hi, i'm currently modding for a streamer and I found out that chat stats aren't working for her. is there any fix for this?
Hello,
I'm having issues with my alert box I moved it over from stream labs works for testing doesn't work for live and my activity feed doesn't update at all
Any idea what i did wrong?
@real sky ⤵️
You can test alerts via the Emulate bell on the lower left side of the Overlay Editor. Simply go to your Dashboard > My Overlays > pencil/edit button on the overlay. Make sure the Preview LIVE on stream option is on to see the alert in OBS/XSplit** https://streamable.com/vtulg9

as far as she remembers, she didn't, her name is symposiarcha on twitch

my game capture wont capture my game help
and how do i set up my bot im new to useing stream Elements
dm if u can help me
some games wont capture on game capture, you could try capturing using window capture
ok and when i use window capture the things still stays up
what "things"
My obs
I'm hoping this is something that can resolved easily but my StreamElements activity feed and alerts don't work (except for follows). From what I've been able to piece together I think it's as a result of me changing my username on Twitch since initially making my StreamElements account. My current username is "ianhateshimself" and my previous usernames are "TheVIZNs" (the original name of the account) & "ianhateshimself_" :)
your obs will stay up, yes. You are just added the window capture source
ya i did and it stayed up
good, does it capture the game you want while using window capture?
yes
there you go 🙂
i recored and stayed up when i click on it the game im streaming on laptop
hello so im having trouble with the song request audio. so i noticed that my songs are being doubled and one of them is delayed. I tried separating the desktop and song request audio but its still there.
ill dm you a video that can help you setup the bot since I can't post links here. But make sure to mod streamelements by typing "/mod StreamElements" in your twitch stream chat
@urban zodiac ⤵️
If you changed your name on Twitch, please follow these steps:
- Visit https://streamelements.com/logout and then log in again by connecting with Twitch.
- On the right side of the dashboard page that opens, select Join under bot settings. If it says Part select that and then select Join to send the bot to the chat. Don't forget to mod the bot by typing /mod streamelements in your channel if you have not already.
- Post your old and your new name here so that we can update your channel's chatstats tracking (must be done by staff).
Make sure you don’t have multiple overlays active or the dashboard open
Do the first two
already signed in and out, got the bot to leave and rejoin... nothing has worked thusfar
Kk
the song request is a separate overlay and im not sure what you mean about the dashboard? im not suppose to have the song request page open?
It will play both places
Check it now
how do i close my dashboard without closing the song request for it to work?
As long as you have the widget enabled in your overlay it should work. You can use the media request dock in obs.live as well to control it
ahh okay ill try that right now! thank you!
Let us know if it works
still doesn't show subscribers or bits in the StreamElements activity feed, even with nothing deselected in the filters
You may not see anything until an event occurs
If you emulate an alert it should “work”
Not sure if it will show in activity feed
emulated alerts already worked, unfortunately the activity feed still doesn't update even after gifting a sub
Is not mod in your channel?
it is a mod
