@versed tangle 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
@fossil wraith I don't see any attached email on your account. Is your email set to private on your YT account?
Stream Elements can’t seem to connect to my youtube live chat. All I have set up for it is Chat Alerts, Commands and Timers. Any help you can give?
can someone answer my question from before please?
hi, is there any way i can export overlays as png file?
Yes
or any other image format?
@bright whale 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.
- Go to https://studio.youtube.com/, click on Settings > Community and add https://youtube.com/c/streamelements as a Moderator.
- When live, be sure to look at Live chat instead of Top chat, as Top chat will hide the bot messages.
@fast grove The overlays are not meant to be exported or downloaded - they are meant to be used as browser sources
@fast grove 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

Hello 🙂 I have a quick question: Will there soon be a chat box for youtube in widgets? I see it's there for twitch and it's awesome and I would love to have it for youtube as well!
@limpid holly No plans to implement it yet, due to limitations from YT.
Dang it, that would be such a nice feature. streamlabs has it, so it is doable but I guess maybe the effort would too much compared to the result XD - Fair enough! Thanks @fresh zenith 😄

Hi everyone! I stream on youtube and I'm looking for the credit roll widget on streamelements. However it's not showing up in the widgets section. where do I find it? I tried scrolling through your widget share channel but I'm not having any luck.

Can somebady tell me how to add chatbox in owerlay for YT?
Your paypal account is most likely suspended or needs further verification @fierce urchin
@paper agate there is no chat box widget for overlays for YT users
@lime walrus my paypal account is working fine and I have verified it then also it’s showing the same please help me?
I cannot help you - the seller restriction is on your paypal account
and we are not paypal support
this is entirely up to you to check as to why
Ok thanks brother
@lime walrus ok tnx man
Hey guys. I have changed my YT channel name, but the link for the Donation page still has the previous name. Any ideas how I can get it to change to the new name please?
@versed tangle email us here: support@streamelements.com with your account ID and desired name
!accountid
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.
@lime walrus Much obliged. I have sent the email.
how i can add overlays from stream elements in streamlabs obs ???????
@reef perch do keep in mind that slobs tend to block our overlays
so it would be the best to use OBS studios with OBS.Live to get everything out of your StreamElements overlays
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
if there are any issues with our overlays within Slobs, we are not able to assist with that
ok thenks bro

^for best usage and for the legendary support I'd recommend the above
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.
- Go to https://studio.youtube.com/, click on Settings > Community and add https://youtube.com/c/streamelements as a Moderator.

guys my stream elements is not recording .........it is showing anti virus might blocked ......what should i do
Any plans to integrate Youtube chat into steamelements? Or is there a reason to not have it. Sorry new here and kind of looking around. Thanks.
@native harbor No plans to implement it yet, due to limitations from YT.
How can I change the Stream Elements bot name to my channel name on youtube?
Thanks
@ocean herald It is only Twitch. Not possible for Youtube.
@fresh zenith tks for the reply
I just was looking for a video on the stream champ and I believe that I have a problem with ingest because I heard you can stream on YouTube no offense to twitch but just want to talk with my subs but never mind you can’t stream that on stream champs I think so
Hey, guys! What bitrate should my YouTube videos be for best 1080p quality? Thanks, guys!!
@willow estuary 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 
I'm trying to switch my stream from streaming on youtube to twitch.
@versed tangle StreamElements menu, on top of OBS > Logout > Login
hey! i am trying to link my youtube account to my streamelements. i signed in through youtube not knowing you could link your youtube account to your twitch and now it says "account already claimed" any fix?
@modern gulch 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.
Why i cant set my streamelements theme to my OBS studio i put the link but isnt work

Hey can anyone help me with the points system
@still dust 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.
Points system
An unasked question cannot be answered.
Can you help me with the points system
Ask your question, please. "Help me with this" tells us nothing about what the issue is.
Well I want to set up points for watching and chatting in YouTube
So I watched some videos about loyalty
Oh, right, this makes it easy. Loyalty is not available for YouTube.
Then how do other streamers do it?
Do you know any other websites that do something like loyalty?
My alert box is not working on stream? It’s only working when I test but when I start live stream it’s not showing names and tips what to do? Please help!

@versed tangle We do not provide 1 on 1 support. Please ask your question here.
how to setup the bot to go into my livechat? because it isn't appearing when I go live and I know I clicked activate
@versed tangle 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.
- Go to https://studio.youtube.com/, click on Settings > Community and add https://youtube.com/c/streamelements as a Moderator.

does the bot only show up for every thirty minutes to talk about my merch store?
If that's how you set it up.
well I don't know how to set it up
@versed tangle New to StreamElements?
Check out our YouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/c/streamelements/videos
with tutorial videos from setting up the basics, to in depth details on how to use our product.
New to OBS? Here is a 4 step quickstart guide
https://obsproject.com/wiki/OBS-Studio-Quickstart
Want to learn even more? Here is an in-depth overview
https://obsproject.com/wiki/OBS-Studio-Overview
do you set it up to automatically post in Bot Timers?
That is what a timer is, yes.
well I'm having a problem with it showing up because I want it to show every 5 minutes but it's not showing up
Then you need to set the timer to go off every 5 minutes.
Please read the message underneath the "Chat lines" setting.
what would you suggest me to change the numbers to?
Did you read the message underneath the "Chat lines" setting?
Minimum amount of chat lines in the last 5 minutes required to activate the timer.\
And do you understand what that means?
No, I do not
If your chat isn't as active as you're setting it, the bot will not send the message.
I'm still confuse just tell me some numbers to pin in
okay well what would make the bot as active as much as it can be?
Define "active." The bot is always there, ready to respond to commands.
From the moment it announces it's running.
like I want it to post in chat every five minutes about my merch store
Then set it to post every 5 minutes.
You have two settings there for intervals in minutes.
Nothing hard to understand about it. Your issue is the "Chat lines" setting.
just tell me a number for the chat lines
I can't do that. That's up to you to decide.
what is the Minimum amount of chat lines?
no
Then you've set it too high, haven't you?
so your saying it needs to be lower than 5?
not many
Well, it's a number value, so you'll need to pick a number.
I'm just testing the bot that is all my people left the chat a while ago
So then what you're saying is, on average, you have 0 messages sent in your chat over 5 minutes?
0 is an option.
so what you saying is when I hit 5 messages in my live chat the bot will appear and say what I have it made to say?
5 messages within 5 minutes, if that's what you've set it to.
If it takes more than 5 minutes to get 5 messages, then you should set it to be less than 5 messages.
do the messages have to be by other people or can I spam chat to see if it works?
It can be anyone.
You just now have spammed.
But you don't know where in the interval the timer is.
Be patient.
okay how long?
okay now it started to pop up
Thanks for the help
is there away I can give you a good review for helping me?
That message'll do.
alright
I appreciate it you taking the time to help me
I'm new to bots and everything
any way to turn the overlays into a png?
@fast grove Not that you can but why?
i wanted to include my overlays into nvidia software
and nvidia dosent support browser
and obs gives me a crap ton of lag
id rather have better quality streams than overlays
Unfortunately that's not possible.
No.
Also another thing: will chatbot get a ranking system for youtube?
thats something streamlabs has but their bot is too laggy
Unless they say we can add loyalty no.
wdym "they"
YouTube does not allows us to use loyalty so there's no way to have that kind of system.
Rip
Hey there, my member data for youtube is not showing up. it tracks that I have 3 members, but nothing else about members is tracked, not in my dashboard, activity feed, or popups when it happened live. can you help?
This keeps happening how do I fix the problem so that II can stream
@void harbor Go to OBS settings->stream and disconnect account and connect again. Please next time use helpdesk channel
@void harbor StreamElements menu, on top of OBS > Logout > Login
still same?
No
But I have another question
Everytime I start streaming the whole screen turns black or every text I have scrolling just freezes
Is there a reason why SE Pay is not available on Youtube account like it is on Twitch?

Hello. is if possible to have the Donation goal bar having the values of both link donations and superchats together? 
The alertbox isnt working, only works when I emulate on streamelements, but not slobs
@ancient zodiac 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.

is there a way to switch overlays or screens with the push of a button during a stream
i made a custom command but when my chat types it in, nothing happens. do i have to have a certain amount of subscribers to be able to make commands?
@idle saffron
the default commands work in my chat but not my custom ones
Why don't streamelement have loyalty system for YouTube?
YouTube doesn't have Loyalty system support, due to restrictions from YouTube.
Ok, is there any alternative?
not via StreamElements
Is there a way to push a button to switch overlays
That's what scenes do. In OBS, you create different scenes for Gaming, BRB, Stream End etc
Is the chat widget removed?
For YouTube, I can add it on my Twitch
No drop down
I added streamelements as mod btw

Stream delay is highly dependent on your upload speed and connection to the streaming server
and also if you have stream delay chosen in the obs settings

Hey guys
Ok so after getting frustrated to hell with slobs
I’ve decided it’s time for something more professional
And I’m just here to ask a few questions before I try it out
what are the perks of using OBS.Live?
are there any features that I am losing when I switch from Studio to Live?
Hello I made the mistake of connecting with youtube and then with twitch, is there a way to merge the accounts?
hi dont work timer bot in youtube
There are moderator rights, the bot responds to commands
@tawny perch 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.
- Go to https://studio.youtube.com/, click on Settings > Community and add https://youtube.com/c/streamelements as a Moderator.
- When live, be sure to look at Live chat instead of Top chat, as Top chat will hide the bot messages.
Hello! I have set up YT members, and I have setup on your site an alert pic and sound for when the member pops up! I have tested it and it appears in my obs. But when a member actually activated during my livestream it didnt appear as a notification, or in my activity feed. In the feed members are on. I dont know whats the problem. Can you help me?
@versed tangle Please ask your question in one helpdesk channel only. A support volunteer or StreamElements staff member will assist you as soon as they are available. Asking in multiple places will only result in confusion, not faster answers. Thank you for your patience.
Hi, I want to merge my Youtube SE login with my Twitch SE login, so I can duplicate my Twitch overlays to Youtube. Thanks

Hello, I am having an issue where my stream crashes whenever my game is on "fullscreen windowed" mode. I do this because my PC performs better FPS wise (don't ask me why, i have no clue). I just discovered my stream is okay when it is on fullscreen mode though. Is there a way to fix this issue so i can play on fullscreen windowed and it not crash after 5 minutes?

Do you understand it?
whenever i try to save this it says failed updating information why??
plz healp
help*
YT has their own way to name channels @drowsy tinsel
If you're not approved by them to use this URL you can't (I assume you're referring specifically to the YT link)
@obtuse oracle the differences in widgets are the events and labels we can set up
I can't give an exact number but some can work for several platforms.
Mostly though, I guess you can duplicate that widget, remove things you know don't exist on the desired platform, and copy it over
You should be an editor at least.
Merging can make the process quicker for you since you can switch faster
Hello
Is Streamelements have loyalty points for youtube ?
I can see the loyalty points for twitch but for youtube there is no loyalty points section
Please help to give loyalty points to my YouTube stream viewers
Loyalty points is not available for Youtube due to restrictions from YT

I can't seem to find how to add chat widget in my overlays. I thought it was in 'Stream Tools' section of the widgets but that menu doesn't open for me in the overlay editor.
I've done it before but am rebuilding my overlays.
There is no chat widget for youtube.
welp that is disappointing. considering OBS live can see the chat...
OBS.Live loads the chat in pop-out mode
for the overlay widget, we need different permissions, which YT doesn't provdie us with
thanks. another nail in the coffin for YT
Hello. I stream on youtube. I seem to have set up my overlay with custom notifications and have added it to obs. I have successfully tested the notifications, but when I stream and someone subscribes, the notifications do not show up on stream. Is there a way to fix this?
!privacy
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
Ah I see. So not only will I have to set it on public but the person subscribing as well
specifically the person
Thank you for the info! So every other alert should appear right? Dealing with superchat and such
Hello! So I stream on youtube. And when I use the over lays from streamelements and put them in my OBS to use, it doesnt import everything. It only importants not even hafe of it. I don't know what I am doing wrong.
@brazen moat 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
why do i get a blank screen on here when i try to livestream to youtube?!!?!?
this never happened to me before it worked fine but now its not working 😦

Hi. I had my youtube account merged to my twitch account hoping I could consolidate my bot commands into one place. But none of the bot commands work in my youtube channel. It looks like it is linked to my account but i'm not sure. when I try to add a youtube channel, it says it is already claimed.
So you didn't understand the limitations?
no bot commands work at all.

@warped scroll Our Dashboard and Overlay Editor are Chromium Optimized. We strongly recommend using Chrome. Opera GX and the new Microsoft Edge Chromium might work closest to Chrome as its also Chromium built. Firefox also works, but some things might look a bit different or not work. We do not recommend using Internet Explorer with our Dashboard as it does not support functions.
If the website doesn’t work on chrome, be sure none of your plugins are blocking our website or clear your cookies. You can try if the website works in a incognito tab.
hello that didn't work either
@warped scroll did you complete the shown steps?
Hi I have what is probably a question with an obvious answer that I am just missing. I set up a widget for latest subscriber, latest donation, etc, but I can't get the text to be centered in the box. Clicking the Text center box, or any alignment box in the text editors in my overlays doesn't do anything. What am I missing to get those tools to work?
Okay so playing with it more I guess I can refine my question to be is there any way to center text in a box to the center of the box other than using padding which kinda doesn't work when the word size changes?
Hi, so I currently just set up a tipping page for my youtube channel and I want to turn off media requests for viewers but when I scroll down and go to the "more" section I only see "Profile Page" and not Media Share. Does anyone know the solution to this problem?
If I asked my question this morning in the wrong section, please point me to the right one. Thanks.
@candid falcon making the container bigger and using the center icon should do the trick, but please screenshot the issue and your account ID so i can check it
I actually just went to do open the page now to try the other thing and streamelements.com is throwing out an error 500
@candid falcon Please logout of StreamElements at https://streamelements.com/logout and then login again to your account (Twitch/YouTube/Facebook).

Take your time, thank you.
It's look like the "dynamic font size" is causing that the text doesn't align center
That's disappointing. The whole point of using the dynamic font size was to try to account for the wildly different user name sizes on youtube. Ah well, just have to live with it being aligned to the left.
Thanks for looking into it, I will toss it into the ideas bin and hope someday those two features get along. 🙂
yes, it looks like the dynamic font size is the issue here
@candid falcon 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.
Hi, is there a way I can transfer Twitch overlays to YouTube?
I just don't want to restart the work again if possible. Thank you
@tawdry shuttle click Duplicate and then select your other platform
you don't have your account merge, you have it as a manager with full control
i can merge your account but i need you to remove any manager that you have on those accounts and then DM the JWT token of each account https://streamelements.com/dashboard/account/channels
I think my channels may not be merged either? When I click the Duplicate Overlay button, i don't get the window above you linked @tardy cloud . I added my twitch account by clicking the add twitch channel in the account settings page. Did I do that wrong? I have two different Account IDs.
That did it, thank you.

Hello! I'd like to ask for some help regarding OBS streaming settings.
I'm working on a project involving streaming on YouTube.
Thing is though, in all the test streams we've had the quality isn't the best (480-144p) and the video keeps buffering.
We thought it might have to do something with the video/stream bitrate, but experimenting with these settings didn't made a massive difference.
Computer specs in image attached.
Internet info:
Download speed: 100 mbps
Upload speed: 35-43 mbps
Programs that are used while streaming:
- OBS
- VUP
- Chrome (YouTube)
- Game (we've tried: COD3, Persona 4G, Genshin Impact, Yume Nikki; all with the same result in performance)
These are the things we've tried so far:
1-
bitrate: 2500
audio bitrate: 96
resolution: 720p
2-
bitrate:3500
audio bitrate:96
resolution: 1080p
3-
bitrate: 1500
audio bitrate: 96
resolution: 480p
Any tip or advice on how to modify the settings will be greatly appreciated! Thank you!
@quasi bluff 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 
@versed tangle Are you just looking to change your channel name, or are you looking to delete the account?
if i can change user name i wont need to delete it
im try to delete to get a new name
That's not how that works.
No, the system does not automatically change when you change your YouTube name.
so there is your answer
You don't. You make a request for us to.
so its necessary to delete it
No.
It's not.
You're not listening.
Nowhere in "you need to request for us to change it for you" does it imply a deletion is necessary.
Email us using this form: https://support.streamelements.com/hc/en-us/requests/new

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
@idle saffron this did not work
it gave me the same settings im currently using
as stated above, we're not here to give best settings, if the auto config doesn't work, try out bitrates and settings till you get the right settings 
hey dolls
Hi! Is there an option in Streamelements in which I can put the Youtube chat in my overlay?
I try to click "Stream tools" but no options appear.
There is not.
Yikes; okay, thank you
Does streamelemets support yt chats??
There is no chat widget for youtube.
Any alternative solution for it please??
@short tulip Due to YT chat limitations and different URL for every stream we recommend using native YT chat and updating URL on every stream start.
If you want to add chat as overlay element: https://streamable.com/kfhg1u
If you want to have chat as OBS dock: https://streamable.com/ro3w3b
Custom CSS Settings for overlay source: https://pastebin.com/fpjTe4nx
@idle saffron how to make it fade after sometimes??
Unfortunately there's no fadeout for this. Maybe you could do some stuff with OBS filters/effects, but I am not sure about that.
<@&382267076632379392> So I tried to use the media player yesterday and it would not let me change my url to play what I wanted
Im trying to use media player that is built in but when I try to put in the url from youtube it won't let me enter anything
How long does it take till my bank details are verified becuase it's already been 8-9 business days
Took ages for me nearly 4 weeks twith don't help at all

I'm wondering if StreamElements supports the usage of 'coins'. Couldn't find it anywhere.
doesn't exist for youtube if you mean the loyalty program
I meant that viewers can accumulate coins automatically by watchtime.
yeah, that doesn't exist for YT
Is there a way to manually save all the settings and images other than upload to the cloud please? For some reason it still won't upload. Gets to about 30% and says network error every time.
I'm using activity chat url in OBS dock however when it forgets who I am it makes me re-link but since I use YouTube, it doesn't let me log in with Youtube, it only lets me use Twitch. what can I do?
@soft flame StreamElements menu, on top of OBS > Logout > Login
Thank you AI, I have switched to OBS.live instead of just plain OBS.
i need help
Hi @obsidian vale, Please ask your question(s) or describe the problem you're looking to solve so staff or a support volunteer can assist you as soon as they are available.
@obsidian vale 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

@obsidian vale To reset goals:
- from the Overlay Editor > Session data on top right (monitor symbol) > Goals tab > reset progress of desired goal
- from the Dashboard > Activity feed on the left > Widget data on the right > Goals tab -> reset progress of desired goal
Note: Goal widgets (progress) only counts up and doesn't go down automatically, if you lose followers/subs.
you can also edit it in that goals tab
e
i cant
read all of that
small brain

ended 3 years ago
Change or remove the date in the settings.

When you click on "Streamelements" and then "backup" and then "manage backups"
is it listing anything?
A screenshot would be nice
Perfect, i'll ask the devs.
It says Creating Backup Package for about 30 seconds, and then attempts to upload and then I get this error
Okay thanks
It worked before. Do you happen to know what the upload limit is at all please?
Ahhhhhh. It could be that a video I have included is too big. Let me just try again.
Yup, it was a particular file. All good now. I can back up. Sorry to bother you and thanks for your help.

I tried to emulate my alerts, the member alerts worked and the label also changed changes when i emulate the alerts from SE website. This is weird why it wont work on actual stream but work on emulate SE website. I randomly log in to streamlabs website, the recent activity showed that new member tho.

hello
I need help connecting the bot to my youtube stream
I tried multiple times it doesnt work
@jovial elk 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.
- Go to https://studio.youtube.com/, click on Settings > Community and add https://youtube.com/c/streamelements as a Moderator.
- When live, be sure to look at Live chat instead of Top chat, as Top chat will hide the bot messages.
YT doesn't support bot name change
if you are streamlabs and how to you paste the overlay/theme link to get on stream??
@stable pelican 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

YouTube Alerts are integrated via web browser source in vMix using browser version 62 only show up intermittently. Could be some streams where a few are displayed and then for the next several none show. Verified privacy settings for some of the SuperChat donators and they are public. Have logged in ad out of Streamelements several times, rebuilt the alerts and even used defaults, no change.
Hello, I’m about to upgrade to a 1440p monitor and want to record from OBS at 1440p 60fps, and upload to YouTube at that same resolution and frame rate. Does anyone know the best recording settings for OBS to achieve the best quality video at a constant 60fps?
@sly orbit There are no "best settings".

I want to use a widget that i found in the discord but when i click it says "platform mismatch please change to appropriate channel" what should I do.
How do you dock youtube chat in OBS.live? Previously I was using Twitch and the twitch chat is docked, but when i created a new profile for streaming to youtube, the twitch chat is still docked.
Can we self promo?

That's what I was looking for. Thank you
Okay
Hello everyone. I am an IRL live streamer on YouTube. I had been using Streamlabs but I am thinking I am ready to make the switch to StreamElements. I got everything setup and ready to go but when I attempt to go live using the mobile app on my Android (Samsung Note 20 Ultra) comes back with the error message "Error! Unable to connect to YouTube" I need help. Thanks!
Overlay chat widget for Youtube is possible ?
I ended up using your competitor tool for that. Sorry.
is stream elements working for youtube?
@sly orbit You want your bitrate while recording pretty high. I use 80,000,000 and make sure my game has the highest AA setting to make sure there are no sharp edges on geometry.
@charred umbra wait i know you 
@charred umbra What other settings to you use? CBR? CQR?
@versed tangle -> #helpdesk-mobile
@small nova we don't have an chat widget for YT, so its fine.
@versed tangle Yes
@charred umbra Do you have any videos on youtube so i can see what those settings look like once rendered?
@sly orbit If you have the time, have a look at my latest upload on YT to see if it matches what sort of image you are looking for.
link please
I don’t think I’m allowed to link due to self promotion but there should be a link in my Discord profile! 🙂
sweet
My last 3 videos have all been with the new settings. I’m also upscaling to 4K and I’m a lot happier with how it looks.
@lime walrus I came here from an email I received for something entirely unrelated. I’m considering switching from my SL to Stream Elements for my Live-streams.

SE is way better than slobs from my experience
I was about to ask "Didn't Tweak tell you its super easy to switch to us with just 1 button press?" but then i remembered he said that to Pepp 
I’m not happy at all with how things are with SL. Is there someone from staff to but if I run into some snags? 🙂
He did! Haha! I was there.
We had a lot of fun today, too.
I'm Tweak Account manager within our system You can ask me if you'd like 🙂
That’s amazing, thank you! I have all new hardware I’m building, so when I’m done I’ll get to switching to StreamElements.
I can’t wait to get back to streaming daily. I’ve missed it.
I appreciate you already. I’ve never had a reply from SL even though I have a “partnership”.
Lmao! He’s mega burnt out on it. I’m sure he’ll be back.
I man the support here in the Discord(I actually forgot to answer the people above this morning) and other support lines, but also help out with setups when needed.
I’d love to get back into Tarky with Chicken, hopefully a patch comes out that sucks me back in.
So there are plenty if helpful people in our Discord who can help, if I'm not around for example.
Roger!!

I haven't been feeling it this wipe much, barely level 8 and barely play at all 
Haven't had a chance to look yet. Finishing this game of Warzone
Your videos look good @charred umbra How large are you files normally with that bit rate?

I see there's no chatboxes that comes with the Overlays on the Youtube Side, does YouTube not allow that?
Hello

Hey Guys, sure this gets posted a lot, I've got an alert box set up on SE going into Streamlabs. I can test alerts and they show up on stream but when an actual donation is made the alerts don't trigger. My SE dashboard even shows no tips even though tips have been made through the SE link and have hit my paypal?
When i am logging with with youtube, it;s getting stucked on a white screen after entering id and pass. Please help.
@kind barn 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.
@kind barn Please logout of StreamElements at https://streamelements.com/logout and then login again to your account (Twitch/YouTube/Facebook).
are you using Chrome @kind barn ?
can you provide a screenshot or even a screen recording of the exact behavior? just so we fully understand
it's a long shot but is chrome your default browser?
I have question. What is the best editing software to use
@peak sage no, opera
can you try setting it to chrome, and restart OBS or even PC and check?
again, longshot, but lets try
it's a matter of preferences @severe sparrow
I use OBS with SE plugin, to each their own
Isn't working @peak sage
Hii! I have a question! Why am I not having a option to use SEPay?
Just having Paypal

@bitter birch You can refresh the dashboard and it should now be available
I have a question about growth how do you gain alot in a short period of time like a week
Luck
what do you mean luck ive been on yt for about 4 months and i only have 12 subs and 48 vids
exactly
either you make extremely good content and promote the channel or you need to get really lucky and get picked up by someone that sends people to your channel
also: not really a topic for this channel since it's not StreamElements or support related
@bitter birch You can refresh the dashboard and it should now be available
@sage lantern Thx man! I see the feature!

Hey everyone! I recently started youtube streaming but i just found out i may have created a seperate streamelements youtube account to my twitch account. Can i get help with merging the 2 please?
@onyx light 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.
Bear in mind they're not "shared" in that you get alerts for both Twitch and YouTube. It's only the duplication of designs between them. All data is separate. Do you understand?
yeh, totally. It wouldnt make sense if they shared data 😄
Please DM me the JWT tokens from both channels.
Why don't the commands in S.E. work in the youtube stream? Chat commands?
Do i need to relog from the website and chat in obs?
I got it to work , nvm
Had to add the S.E. url to the mod list
How do you get a streamelements bot?

@steel sluice have you tried restarting your PC and restarting your router?
How do i add media request on youtube overlays?
Or is there no such beast? or how do people make music requests?
For YT - no
ok cool , thanks for your help
I missed some sub alerts , can someone helP? This is on youtube...
And notifications , Activity feed didn't capture it
@visual talon 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
Oh i see
@lime walrus hey i resolved the issue, it was something in my title haha thanks anyway
Hey , my activity feed isn't capturing my youtube stream subscriptions , there is no way to make them private as previously suggested and i've had 5-7 new ones and none of them have been alerted
I might be stupid for asking but is there Email Stats for YouTube?
I am planning on doing Monthly Livestreams on my Channel
hi everyone! I'm new to Streamelements, and I was wondering how I can connect Restream or Ecamm with Streamelements to use overlays and widget without having to go through OBS to stream on Youtube? Thanks!
