oops something went wrong
I'll ask around if someone else is experiencing this as well, might want to try a browser like Chrome
this seems to be a problem on your site with Youtube for some reason, but let's figure out if we can help you with it
can i ask something
@vocal cradle 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.
Try googling on non-copyrighted music
or use the sounds youtub provides in YouTube Studios
Do you provide any Playlist's?
We don't provide music
um ok i have another question
Just shoot.
Im wondering if im all up and running now
Can i take a picture and show you a specific page and you tell me if i am please
ofcourse
because you are not looking at $ {user} instead of showing the username of the people who do the command $ {user} appears
already streaming great overlays!
@vocal cradle 1) Restart OBS
2) Start your stream/recording for about 30 seconds. Make sure you replicate any issues as best you can, which means having any games/apps open and captured, etc.
3) Stop your stream/recording.
4) Select Help > Log Files > Upload Current Log File. Copy the URL and paste the link here.
(Note: If you do not see an obsproject.com URL, you will need to update OBS Studio to version 22+)
follow the steps above
how can I get overlays
We've released our new Overlay Editor revamp. You can check out the changes and how to work with it here: https://youtu.be/X5VzXjqAsjk
Check out our blog post as well: https://blog.streamelements.com/streamelements-overlay-editor-just-got-even-better-c22cb5b4853e
We are thrilled to announce the launch of the remastered StreamElements Overlay editor!
https://p.strms.net/newoverlayyt
Why StreamElements Overlays are better?
๐ Simple: Load your entier setup using only 1 link
โก Fast: Cloud-powered Overlays arrive in real-time, say goodb...
ok
but how can I import him in OBS
create a new scene
and add a browser sorce
and copy and paste the link and the width and lengths 1920x1080
Np i'm, not even an admin or staff i jsut like helping
@versed tangle 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
My youtube subscription alerts do not work, what should I do?
the test works but when someone subscribes nothing is displayed.
@shell bronze Users can choose to make the channels that they subscribe to public or private. By default, all settings are set to private.
Private: When a users subscriptions are set to private, no other user can see what channels they subscribe to. A user's account does not show in a channel's Subscribers List, even if they are subscribed.
Public: When users subscriptions are set to public, another user can see what channels they subscribe to. User subscriptions are listed on their channel page, and their account is listed in the Subscribers List for any channel they subscribe to.
If a user has it set to Private they will not show up in the activity feed. More info: https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/7280190

Look what was said above @shell bronze
Users will need to set their subscriptions to Public
So if people don't have their subscription in public, doesn't it work?
correct
ok thanks
BordeauxPrime sorry i did the thing with the other person i jsut like hellping ๐
why does my Stream Allways lagg?
@vocal cradle 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.

How to connect 2 accounts on Streaelements OBS? In Activity feed i want to see twitch and youtube followers in 1 screen
do you mean stream on 2 platforms at once
I'm not a Staff member but i dotn think its possible
๐ฆ
Dont worry i haev another salution
so if you pull out your phone and start streamiong on OBS open YouTube and if you have a streaming app on your phone put the Stream on full Screen and there you go Multi Stream
I wouldn't want to make that kind of poor quality content
@robust phoenix if its to those 2 platforms, you can use restream.
they have their own chat and activity feed docks.
i used to use it when i streamed
i would recommend turning authentication on because if someone remotly ecces your PC they can go live with no problem but with this you can set a password and everytime you try and go live or look in settings you require a pass key
how can i stop the stream lagging
@vocal cradle 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.
how can I add chatbox in the overlay?
no chatbox widget for youtube
go live and make your chat pop out make a new browser and copy the chat link
um
Hi
@vocal cradle can you try to rewrite your answer about overlay widget?
ok sure
@small acorn not natively
the only way would be to add your youtube pop out chat as a source and do it that way
First go live and click on the 3 dots and then click on pop out chat and wants it has been poped out copy the URL
@slender fjord doesnt work for YT..
@slender fjord that doesnot working
oh, sorry... ๐ฆ sad ๐ฆ
First go live and click on the 3 dots and then click on pop out chat and wants it has been poped out copy the URL
you dont need to go live to get the pop out url
@vocal cradle could you please keep the advice and support a bit to us?
ok i'm sorry
you are contradicting stuff a SE.Champion is saying and that can be confusing for the user!

i think its because of Youtube's restricted API, atleast that is why we don't have it.
I dont know if one of our code guru's could actually make that happen atm
but you can file an idea with us
@small acorn Check out the StreamElements ideas board: https://strms.net/ideas. You'll be able to add ideas, upvote ideas you agree with, and track their progress with email notifications. Adding and upvoting ideas also helps the staff know which ideas should be prioritized so please take some time to upvote.

@fallow kite can u please rewrite your question, it is a bit hard to understand what u are trying to achieve
Whats that
There
Sry
?
will youtube chat be supported in the future?
that all depends on YT
if they open up the API for it to be used then yes
otherwise not
okay, thank you.
What do u prefer? OBS Studio or Streamlabs OBS
@versed tangle 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.
@versed tangle 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/
how do i add stream elements as a moderator on youtube?
@timid garnet To set up the bot for your YouTube stream, please follow these steps:
- Make sure your stream is public. The bot cannot join a private/unlisted stream.
- Your stream must be live for the bot to join the chat.
- Add https://youtube.com/c/streamelements as a Comment Moderator at https://www.youtube.com/comment_management

Evening everyone, I made the mistake of claiming my youtube channel when I wasn't logged into my twitch side but from the SE home page. I've tried disconnecting my google account so that I could claim it so it's connected to my twitch side. I'm not quite sure how to better explain what I need help with. Anyone kinda get it? ๐ณ
@mild needle 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.

Manage your YouTube videos
View your YouTube account
Manage your YouTube account
View your email addresses
why do you need these permissions?
streamlabs also provides all sorts of functionalities even some extra features. but they don't ask these permissions.
Manage your YouTube videos - Live streams on YT are essentially videos being uploaded as you stream. Our bot needs this to join said streams/videos and moderate the chat.
View your YouTube account - so we are able to gather new subs, super chats, etc.
Manage your YouTube account - not sure what this should be, but I assume its just a general connection thing
View your email addresses - so that we can send you stream reports and have a point of contact if we need to contact you
hi guys
i'm trying to go live but obs.live doesn't memorize my streaming key
any help?
do u have to set it againeverytime u reopen obslive ? @weak zinc
not everytime but often
today it won t work
looking for a permanent fix @nova anchor
well its quite a bit hard to troubleshoot that issue at all as u can't really reproduce it as it happens randomly, your best bet would be export a log when it does happen again @weak zinc
i can do it now if u explain me how
Is it possible to set a custom bot name for YouTube live streams? I've been poking at both OBS.live and Ground Control for ages and can't seem to find anything resembling the options for setting up a custom bot on a Twitch stream.
@weak zinc 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.
okay i'm going to take it forward to our staff analysis, but for now i can tell you u should update your windows
as u use two monitors with different refresh rates
obs in that windows version has a limitation that can impact with your stream performance
and the whole software functionality at all
like i said, save your stream key, and reopen it, if it does the same issue again then u send a new log
it happend again ?
yes
nope @versed tangle
My links donโt work when I try to send one on my live streams
have you followed these steps?

how do you log out an account
from where @versed tangle ?
Is there any plans for YouTube Chat being possible via a widget or custom widget ?
@rancid cairn They'd have to make some viable from their end as unlike twitch there is no "chat room" until the stream starts.
@undone pulsar Unfortunately as YouTube service integration is a missing feature (Which includes a chat dock) you'd have to create a custom dock with the link for your stream chat.

Hey, I have been streaming with StreamElements for a long time on Twitch and want to move to YouTube today ๐ I linked my YouTube account and it shows both channels. But If I select the YT account, I start fresh (without custom commands / modules / user loyalty points / ...). Is it possible to copy those to YouTube, or do I have to recreate them by myself?
@hardy wolf everything has to be recreated and you actually lose loyalty as it's not available for youtube.
HOWEVER....
If you're willing to science something there might be an easy way to copy your commands over.
@main vector thanks for the explanation. What do you mean by science? I'm a Software Dev myself so if it's technical please go ahead ๐
It's not technical but more of you'd be the 1st to see if it works right.
Though it'll require an bit of extra work if your commands are long enough.
๐
@hardy wolf How many pages of custom commands do you have?
only 1 + 1/2
Perfect. Easy and small enough to test it with.
Go to this website and copy the stuff from the custom commands pages like this https://pjonp.github.io/seCommandExportHelper/
https://streamlabs-is-a.totallysuspicious.website/7EKhZga.jpg
nice url
Paste in the box above but after you finish the first page hit enter twice and paste the 2nd page of command stuff on the 3rd line.
so it will cut off the response text ๐ค
Unfortunately that's something I did discover as well.
But just need to add onto whatever you had from there.
cant you edit the css fast to make the response display fully?
If you've got the patience to do that yeah.
looks like you cant since the data is not there
ok whatever
so where can I import the bottom stuff?
Copy that and save as a text file. Open that file in excel as tab/comma delimter and save as a .xlsx. Then choose the import option in the top right of the SE dashboard and choose Ankhbot/Streamlabs. Choose the commands option.
Dont have excel, does google sheets also work?
and looks like you can only import with a chrome extension?
This isn't from the extension. There's 2 streamlabs one. You want the one I specifically mentioned.
And yes you can do it with google sheets.
Yeah... In that case you'd have to manually enter the commands.
okay np, thanks for trying to help
does this link work @hardy wolf ? https://streamelements.com/dashboard/account/import?provider=ankhbot
yes
Can you select the Commands/Quotes (Data.xlsx)
dm your raw text you got from the website and I will send you a file back. that should be a formula on the right side
just say 'TRUE'
hmm idk, will paste you the data
Anyone have an idea why some subscriptions on youtube doesnโt appear on my activity feed for SE OBS?
@dusky orchid Users can choose to make the channels that they subscribe to public or private. By default, all settings are set to private.
Private: When a users subscriptions are set to private, no other user can see what channels they subscribe to. A user's account does not show in a channel's Subscribers List, even if they are subscribed.
Public: When users subscriptions are set to public, another user can see what channels they subscribe to. User subscriptions are listed on their channel page, and their account is listed in the Subscribers List for any channel they subscribe to.
If a user has it set to Private they will not show up in the activity feed. More info: https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/7280190
^this is probably the reason why
Ahhhh. Okay okay. That makes sense
Next question. Is there a chat box for youtube i can add to SE? I didnt see it on the widgets.
@dusky orchid There is not.
Due to Youtube's restricted API's there is indeed no Chatbox widget
Daaang. Okay. Thank you guys!
No worries! Any more questions, be sure to ask us ๐

No
I'm not sure if this is possible. I'm trying to remove my YouTube channel from my streamelements page but there doesn't seem to be an easy way to do it
Just trying to unlink my account from my streamelements
Right. So the process would be to "Close My Account"?
Seems a bit clunky but if it works it works
Well I have multiple accounts connected and several I wanted to simply disconnect, while another is displaying my YouTube channel information incorrectly, and there isn't a way to essentially, I guess it would be like refreshing the database to grab the new information from my account

Hmmm. Apparently I have an invalid username? I'm literally using the name that's displayed for the StreamElements account.
Then, please send the same details as the closure form requires to our CTO Reem here: reem@streamelements.com - he will close your account.
Again, if the YT account is connected to any other accounts, all of them will be deleted.
Oh. So it doesn't just close the single YouTube account. It would close the twitch account, and mixer account, and other youtube accounts I have connected as well?
Yes, thats what the warning above says
Yeah I wasn't sure if I was reading that correctly. I guess I was.
Not a huge deal. Just a slight inconvenience

hey everyone I only had a few streams so far I'd like to do both commentary streams as well as discussion about mental health mostly. Do you think its a good idea to separate those or find a way to include both under one alias?
@versed tangle this is mostly for StreamElements YouTube services support, if you have any other questions like that, please be sure to ask them in #general-chat
why is youtube restricted in the loyalty system? ๐ฆ
Due to restricted API access - we are not able to get a viewer list to assign points to.
I understand that boring but still streamelements and really cool ๐

Anyone know what to do
so im new to streaming on youtube but not using streamelements... trying to figure out how to get my chat and alerts pannels to show up and work... everything that i keep doing keeps resorting back to twitch... i changed the stream key and to youtube but nothing that im doing is allowing me to see either
im trying to add the old stream notifications from the twitch thing to youtube but it counts youtube and twitch as two different accounts but doesnt at the same time
but it keeps saying channel is already claimed
@supple lily Hey, what you want import yet?
On "My overlays" page is "copy" button under every overlay.
i need help showing the bot on stream it works but it doesnt show bot messagees

Hey itโs my alt basically
@valid cedar You can email information to support@streamelements.com.
I started streaming on YT today and have an Alert Box with a Subscriber Alert. If I click Emulate the Alert shows in OBS correctly. However Subscribers on my YouTube channel did never trigger the alert while I was streaming today. Any idea why?

does 8ball work with youtube
Hello all! I've set a 10 secs subscriber alert, but the gif I'm using keeps playing for like 14s. Is it possible to cut off these extra 4s from the gif duration time? Thx!
Did you click save after changing the duration of the alert?
Did you click save after changing the duration of the alert?
@lime walrus yup. For testing purposes, I changed the duration to 5s but the gif kept playing until around 7s mark. I recorded it: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1c-w3fX2L7aR0xapRvoSITur811mWntYg/view?usp=sharing (is that ok to post links here?!)
@blissful citrus its possible, activate it via Chat commands here: https://streamelements.com/dashboard/bot-commands/default-commands
it will ask you to enable the 8ball module as well
you can then edit the 8ball responses etc here: https://streamelements.com/dashboard/bot-modules
@glossy pewter I just checked and it palyed the gif for 5 seconds for me 
is the same thing happening in OBS?
@lime walrus Yup. When I'm using the default theme + alert setup , everything works just fine: I can change the duration of the alert and the text and the animation are still synchronized. *What I realized, though, is that in OBS the gif pop-ups first than the text, something like half-second earlier, but after the text part is gone, the gif is still playing for 2 or 3 seconds more.

Private: When a users subscriptions are set to private, no other user can see what channels they subscribe to. A user's account does not show in a channel's Subscribers List, even if they are subscribed.
Public: When users subscriptions are set to public, another user can see what channels they subscribe to. User subscriptions are listed on their channel page, and their account is listed in the Subscribers List for any channel they subscribe to.
If a user has it set to Private they will not show up in the activity feed. More info: https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/7280190
I tried using an alt account to check if that was the case but noo
if you refollowed from your alt account, that doesnt come in as a new activity
however, the thing that happens most is people not having it set on public
have you set the new account to public?
yes
I'll ask around
any plans to add loyalty?
We can't due to YouTube's restricted API @regal pebble

Hi guys i have problem, after obs update and problem that i don't see my activity or my chat in obs anymore, this happened before but now i don't see the logout button and usually it solved problem to logout and login before now i don't see logout anywhere
how can i get this to be see through so i can put my game play there
it should be a .png file
it is
you can hopefully edit it in a program like GIMP, Affinity, Adobe
i dont have any of them
it needs to have a transparent layer
maybe, not sure
yea but i would not know how to do it ๐
did you make this picture yourself or you ripped it from the interwebz?

@woven sun ill ask around for you
really? you just ignore my question and answer his? ๐
Sorry @lament kettle im not ignoring your question, i did ask around if its possible, I don't think Youtube supports that due to its Restricting API
well it does work with Streamlabs obs
so i thought streamelemnts obs could do it too
you mean OBS.Live, its our plugin for OBS.Studios, however like i said, asking around for you! ๐
i was referring to your StreamElements OBS ๐
aaa ok
Just got the answer that Viewer count is not available for YouTube.
oof...
its hard to permanently tab out on my second monitor and swap between youtube and obs
cause youtube tell me the counter but obs tell me the live notification of who subbed

did you add the YT account to the Twitch one? or are they 2 separate accounts?
2 separate accounts

okay thank you very much
I need help, and i dont really know where to look.. i got here, so lets see if anybody can help me.
Did some testing with streaming and no matter what application, or platform(Twitch and YT), my streaming is a bit ' grainy' . it just isnt sharp and it bothers me.
Ryzen 3700x
GTX 1660 TI
16 GB ram 3200 mhz
150+ Mbs upload.
Tried different scalings, different codecs but cant seem to get a sharp picture. tried OBS studio, StreamLabs and Twitch Studio.
@toxic wasp There are no "best settings".
Please understand that every setup will be very different.
Any guides or videos that claim otherwise are misinforming. Your best option is to start with a base and adjust as necessary.
You can run the OBS auto-configuration tool. To use the auto-config, click on the Tools menu in OBS, select Auto-Configuration Wizard, and then just follow the on-screen directions.
You can use this tool to get baseline settings for your hardware and adjust as necessary from there.
Test, test, and test again. We are happy to offer suggestions for any issues you may be having afterwards, but not a list of settings.
Thank you 
Tried CBR on 6000 for 1080p and 720p, 60fps and 30 fps
Also stats say no dropped frames, but i cant seem the thing that fixes the sharpness
@toxic wasp 1) Restart OBS
2) Start your stream/recording for about 30 seconds. Make sure you replicate any issues as best you can, which means having any games/apps open and captured, etc.
3) Stop your stream/recording.
4) Select Help > Log Files > Upload Current Log File. Copy the URL and paste the link here.
(Note: If you do not see an obsproject.com URL, you will need to update OBS Studio to version 22+)
@quiet pond thanks, will test again and will check for the log.
Alright no worries
Also stats say no dropped frames, but i cant seem the thing that fixes the sharpness
@toxic wasp sharpness?
use social media like twitter, and #general-chat is best for this sort of thing
why when i try to go live it says failed to connect to server even tho i put in the stream key and go live on youtube ???
my commands arent showimg up in my chat
but they are ahowing on my screen through ps4

Hello, I cant seem to get any of my youtube alert overlays to work.
@wicked fjord 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
@wicked fjord 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
Yeah, done all that, no change.
@wicked fjord OBS -> settings -> advanced -> scroll down -> enable/disable hardware accel.
https://i.imgur.com/ggMe9ZE.png
Yep. When I am testing the overlays in the browser, they dont work (same with twitch). If I try to go to edit in streamlabs editor from OBS, it says uh-oh Overlay doeasnt exist or something (This works for Twitch).
so still isnt working if that wasnt clear.
@wicked fjord 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.
thats what Im using
Oh I meant to say, streamelements editor**
If someone could message me sometime for help, that would be awesome
Did you disable the above?
OH, like click it then re enable?
No, leave it disabled.
@wicked fjord 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/
not sure what to screen shot, but I will take multiple and get back to you. Maybe make a movie
dont have much time now

So I noticed something a bit strange with OBS.Live behavior where the chat looks to be using my root google account and not the youtube account which it is logged in as and that I am streaming with. I relogged in just to verify. The correct dashboard opens but it seems the chat pane has a bit of an issue. Any insight would be appreciated
hi umm, how to download my overlay into my computer??

Hello, because when I try to put the overlay in the obs it is not visible, saving the project and copying the link?
Is it an alert overlay?
I know this would classify in both this section and the twitch section, but im only going to ask here. In the streamelements dashboard, i claimed my twitch and youtube accounts under two supposedly different emails, although they're the same, the only difference being twitch rendering my email differently than youtube. Is there a way to unclaim accounts? If not, is there a way to fix my problem?
Nevermind, just found the "close my account" button
Wait, where do I find my token?
@cyan wharf You can find your JWT token on your account channels page ("Show Secrets" to reveal the token): https://streamelements.com/dashboard/account/channels

can anybody help me please?
@versed tangle Media request is not available for YouTube streams.

u have to put your game capture correctly. U have an option when u choose what game capture do u want to select and normally u have the name of the game that u want to capture
i was able to fix my issue , is working now
@fickle pagoda bro do u know any other option to me to put music on my stream?
You don't need an "option."
@patent torrent great bro!
any reason why I dont have the loyalty tab on my page?
If you've set up OBS to do so, it will pick up desktop audio. Including anything you're playing.
@patent torrent Loyalty is not available for YouTube streams.
Oh no
@fickle pagoda but thats not my point. I want to play the game and put same music behind the song
behind that*
so people can listen the game that im playing and the music behind at the same time
@fickle pagoda understand bro?
@versed tangle My response is still the same as above.
can u teach me how to do it in private? i reaaly appreciat it please
I cannot, no.
looks like every time i want to do something in not available for youtube is like something is pushing me to switch to twich
@patent torrent same ahahah
So im assuming the giveaways can not be done on youtube
fix what??
thats mest up
there is no media request for youtube, you was told this
@idle dune i want do now how to fix this audio problem
what audio problem?
alright i already understand that
when i play
the audio of the game thats no came out in my stream
well this is the first time seeing you say that...
do you get ANY audio on stream (mic/desktop/discord)?
do you get any other desktop audio in stream?
like if you play a song on your pc
check settings > audio
make sure your desktop audio is set to the correct device
I have used Streamlabs OBS for a very long while, over regular OBS. When I joined StreamElements' version of OBS, it gave me an option to import FROM SLOBS. However, it did not actually do it.
How do I get the settings ACTUALLY imported?

So if private will this affect streamelements alert to pup up on my screen as they sub also
No. If they are set to private, an alert will not trigger.
thats probably why hum thats tuff to make the goal count , then the goal box is no use .

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 do I add overlays to my ps4 YouTube stream
Is there a way to stream and record different things? Specifically, streaming with a webcam and overlays, while recording without all the extras, at the same time, on the same platform (OBS). SLOBS has this feature built in, so before I fully jump back onto OBS(Live), I would like some help if this is possible.
no, ISO is being developed by obs but no eta

Hey Im trying to stream to youtube and I get "Failed to connect to server" since around an hour. Yesterday the connection was already slow to establish
I tried using custom service with the url YT gave me, but no success
now it randomly worked, really weird
maybe the servers are overloaded
If the previously mentioned ability to switch parts of scenes to stream and/or record is not available, how is it possible to use OBS to do this, so I am able to stream a certain setup, while recording in a different way?
If the previously mentioned ability to switch parts of scenes to stream and/or record is not available, how is it possible to use OBS to do this, so I am able to stream a certain setup, while recording in a different way?
@lapis tree all in one PC setup or 2 PC setup?
I have only one PC.
$3-4k put into it.
I've tried using SLOBS for streaming, and then OBS for recording, at the same time and it overloads my CPU, making for useless footage from stream AND recording.
Finding out about the part of SLOBS ability to do stream and record differently only a week ago made it difficult for me to want to switch.
However, I just changed from streaming to YouTube to streaming to Twitch today and everything was reset, regardless, on SLOBS, so I am looking for some way to stream a different way than record. If there's a way from OBS, I'd like to return to using regular OBS.
I understand that SLOBS is for new content creators who are learning, or are too lazy to figure out regular OBS. I am in the latter field. Even so, as mentioned in the last message, I am interested to return if this single feature becomes available OR if there is a way to do similar without killing streaming and recording.
Feature was the word I was looking for earlier.
Can someone please tell me why the chat bot is not active in my chat????

@nova anchor I forgot to tag you. I apologize. For now, until regular OBS is able to integrate the feature to change each piece of a scene to stream and/or record, I think I'll stick with SLOBS, as this is a new feature I found out about recently and really like it. Thank you.
@tall sun Actually, I think my previous comment may be a good addition to OBS if you're available to figure out how to add it.
Selective recording is something that OBS Project has planned. We don't know when they'll be implementing it, however.
How do I make it where if someone types hi in chat the bot says hi back and then their name
@hoary falcon 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.
This is not a feature we provide.
Hey I'm having a weird problem with my overlays, I stream on Youtube and Twitch simultaneously (I have separate overlays for both) and my Twitch alerts work on stream but my Youtube ones don't. They're both marked visible and linked to the right places on OBS, the Youtube alerts work & show up (on OBS) when I test it out in the overlay editor but whenever it should regularly go off mid-stream it doesn't do anything
I need help can someone dm me and tell me how I can make stream bot send my discrod invite to my stream every like 10 minutes?
@vivid umbra That's called a Timer.
ye can u help m e
where tho lol
The Timers section of your account.
so I go to YouTube
No. Your StreamElements account.
Right here dude
@torn barn Users can choose to make the channels that they subscribe to public or private. By default, all settings are set to private.
Private: When a users subscriptions are set to private, no other user can see what channels they subscribe to. A user's account does not show in a channel's Subscribers List, even if they are subscribed.
Public: When users subscriptions are set to public, another user can see what channels they subscribe to. User subscriptions are listed on their channel page, and their account is listed in the Subscribers List for any channel they subscribe to.
If a user has it set to Private they will not show up in the activity feed. More info: https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/7280190
if anyboy could help, im live on yotube right now and i was wondering if any could help me make my stream full screen. when you look on youtube its not full screen
and why the graphics look bad but on my pc it isnt
isn't*
@nova anchor I forgot to tag you. I apologize. For now, until regular OBS is able to integrate the feature to change each piece of a scene to stream and/or record, I think I'll stick with SLOBS, as this is a new feature I found out about recently and really like it. Thank you.
@lapis tree from your early comment, i'd like to explain that slobs insn't a lazzy version of OBS, it is modified for its purposes different from obs-studio and obsLive that has its own purposes too, we do recommend using obsLive while using our platform cause SL isn't clear about how they treat our urls so choose wisely. Answering your questions without a 2 PC setup the only workarround regardless of using SLobs selective recording is using a dual obsLive instance, that isn't CPU hungry at all u should only modify some stuff so it could work properly (like disabling preview in the recording instance and lowering its processing priority and other stuff.
@lapis tree Not at present. A proper implementation of selective recording (as opposed to the patch-job Streamlabs is using) is planned, but has no ETA at the moment. One workaround if all you are looking for is clean gameplay footage, you can try installing the obs-virtualcam plugin, and add a VC as a Filter to your gameplay capture source. Then run a second instance of OBS in Portable mode, just recording that 'webcam'.
NVENC on the 2080 is equivalent to x264 Slow.
NVENC is also a separate part of the GPU die that normally sits idle, doing nothing. Encoding with NVENC will not affect your gameplay, unless you use CUDA-enabled options (Max Quality preset, Psycho-visual Tuning, and Lookahead; just use Quality instead, and turn the other two off).
NVENC on consumer-grade nVidia cards also supports TWO encoding streams simultaneously, up to 4K@60fps without issue. You MAY have to disable Shadowplay and Windows' GameDVR features to 'free up' the second encoding slot, but you can absolutely use both... one for recording, one for streaming.
If anything, I'd recommend using x264 software for your local full-overlay recording with CQP or CRF (quality target) encoding, and a fast+ preset... it'll minimize CPU usage since local bandwidth writing to a HDD is cheap and plentiful, without the bitrate bottleneck of streaming. Use NVENC on that card for the stream, it'll give you better quality. Then use the other NVENC session for the 'webcam' recording, to help keep load minimal and quality high (again, using CQP/CRF). - FerretBomb (https://obsproject.com/forum/threads/streaming-with-overlays-whilst-recording-without-them.121411/)
wait i got it thxs
Hello guys, i would apprecaiate if i can get some help
I initially streamed on my twitch channel and now i am changing to YouTube ... instead of linking my YouTube to the initial twitch account i did log separately ... and now i can't link the 2 accounts
What i want is to keep same settings from twitch and overlays also for youtube ... can this be undo ?
OK NVM i found the solution - i delelted the youtube account
how do i change it back to obs studio mode and change it back to obs live again?
?
when i press on the stream elements which is on top of obs.live it says return to obs studio once i returned there how do i go back to obs.live?
Restart OBS.
it doesnt work
like it doesnt pop out the chat and the activity box
is it bugged?
Do you see StreamElements at the top in OBS after the restart?
Select It and activate the Chat and Activity feed again.
oh thanks i got it!
Guys i have one more question, i have a twitch acccount with a tip page set up
can i use same tip page for youtube? and how? because i linked my youtube to twitch account but they are somehow diffrent accounts
@stone wigeon Nope. Accounts and everything tied to them are separate.
I stream on Twitch, but I want to be able to stream on YouTube if I want with the same layout and features (within reason). Can I do this rather than have to go from scratch?
bonjour, le bot ne se lance pas et les commandes non plus alors que j'ai bien associรฉ ร ma chaine youtube. Ce qui me dรฉrange c'est qu'il y a d'indiquรฉ hors ligne alors que je suis en live. sur le tableau de bord le bot est bien associรฉ et n'est pas en sourdine. Merci d'avance
#๐ซ๐ท๏ธฑfranรงais << @versed tangle
hello?
My youtube subscribers dont load anymore?
also my streamelements isnt up to date with new subs
hello, i just got streamelements and i put a command in but it wont work
@idle dune
@versed tangle don't tag supporters for initial questions thx
what command are u trying to setup?
@sweet sapphire Because it is not available. Part of it is because unlike twitch (and previously mixer) there is no place you can talk without being live.
I mean like the chat wont pop out at the livestream screen?
welp im gonna have to use obs stream labs for now instead of obs.live
You have to open the chat from the stream page.
Don't use it so can't answer unfortunately.
Hi, can someone shed a light on this? Im using an overlay via streamelements, its contains multiple WEBM video files. Every once in a while, some, not all parts, do not get rendered (Switchinng scene) , when i refresh the cache it goes back to normal
@vernal parcel hii
@supple lily mark to disable it when not visible so it will auto refresh its cache when switched
@nova anchor changing dns doesn't help ๐ฆ
hey so i recently switch to youtube streaming
but obs doesn't show my alerts
when i test the alert sthey show but live alerts don't show anyone know how to fix this?
@nova anchor i think its SE itself, cause its also happening in the editor from time to time
Parts of the overlay are not loaded in, until i do a refresh of cache.... any help?
source is set to disable
anyone know how to add in basic commands on stream elements like !Discord !rules
go to stream elements dashboard

@proud tangle
yep
i had it like that
but none of my commands work for some reason
they worked for 4 months perfectly until 2 days ago
ok also for discord do i need to keep updating the link
Hey, I'm a console streamer who has been using StreamElements for a while to moderate and execute commands in my chat. It's been working perfectly for about 4 months but recently, the commands and moderation have not been working. Timers still work fine though. In that time, I haven't changed any of the settings. I have tried to disable and re-enable commands but still have found no success. Any ideas on what I could try?
I just joined
was that really necessary? -_-
Question - is it possible to have in streamlabs the CHAT from youtube as we have it for twitch? As a panel ?
anyone?

refresh browser when scene , and shutdown source when not visible are both enabled

Hi there!
How to set up a giveaway for live chatters on a YouTube livestream in StreamElements?
@pure wolf Not possible. Giveaway is tied to loyalty which is not available for youtube users.
how can I get my donation link?
Question - Hi! While using the emulator for the tips and superchats, the latest superchatter/tipper works and updates fine but the top supperchatter/tipper stays at No data/$0. Is this just because of the emulator or because I'm doing something wrong? Would it show up correctly on my own YouTube stream?
hey guys i have this situation, i was streaming on faebook and setup the obs with stream elements to stream on that plataform, i wanna switch to youtube but i dont know where to set it so the dashboard displays the chat and likes and all that stuff on the obs program, can someone help me a bit with this ? i think it has something to do with the display of obs.live but im not sure where to change the view from FB to YouTube
Hello everyone, I live in the United States, have over 100 subscribers, and am over 18 but se.pay isn't an available option.
@versed tangle Please contact us via email for support with SE.Pay. You can use our contact form here: https://streamelements.com/contact Thank you
Another Question - I checked the "show superchat messages" box but the messages won't appear on the emulator. Any input would be appreciated!
hi all i was hoping for assistance with youtube
I have enabled my stream to run donos through streamelements however i do IRL and i cant seem to go back and see and read the donos
I would like to know if theres something i can address to fix that issue
how come whenever i make a custom alert on stream elements and put it on obs it doesn't like show the alert when im live but whenever i manually do it the alert shows
@safe kiln check the variations
@safe kiln that emote means that you don't have variations, did you say that you see the correct alert when you are offline, but the wrong one when you are live?
so basically
when i emulate it like normally it shows up on obs perfectly fine
but when someone actually subs to me
nothing shows up at all
idk if its cause i recently switched to youtube from twitch streaming
and like all of the data is still going to twitch alerts
but i don't think so since its the same link from the alert preview

but whenever i dc out of the twitch accountmy yt account logouts also
That isn't a problem
o okay
You don't see the dragon alert when somebody subscribe to your channel?
nope
what do you see?
nothing at all
it kinda feels like
that alert has been completely skipped
like when someone subs
it doens't even show on stream elements activity feed
