how do i connect chatbot for youtube
@lusty magnet 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.

Custom bot name is not an option for Youtube.
Hello! I am about to do my first YouTube live stream this week and I'm having an issue with the YouTube alerts. I have my alertbox successfully configured, and when I emulate the events like subscribe and tips it shows up perfectly in the SE interface and in my OBS scene. But when I had someone test out subscribing to my channel I never saw the overlay appear. Is there another step that I missed to fully plug in the integration?
EDIT: Interestingly, when I go to my dashboard in SE and click the little refresh icon next to one of the names of people that subscribed, the alert does show inside of OBS perfectly. So it just seems like they are not happening live for some reason?
@languid aspen 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 user's 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
Thanks for the reply. Just to make sure I understand. If someone subscribes to my channel during a stream and have their subscriptions set to private, then that will not trigger the alert?
Correct.
Thanks, I will try testing it with someone else who has made their subscriptions public before they click subscribe on my channel

hmm, just tested it with a dummy account and made sure they had subscriptions listed public, and the event did not show up at all. They are also not showing up in the YouTube recent subscribers list. Seems like something else is screwed up for me
I'm not sure if this is the issue, but even when I am doing an unlisted stream my SE dashboard still shows my channel as offline. Is that normal?
Yes. Has to be public.
Ah ok. Is that also a reason the alerts did not show?
Can anybody help me with why my alerts arenât working? Pretty sure I set everything up in my Overlays but they werenât working. Also is their an activity feed pop out for YouTube? Please help
i need help closing my account
Hello, is it still possible to setup a giveaway on streamelements?
@prisma sleet Not on youtube.
Sorry for the likely silly question, but I just want to confirm that it's completely normal to not have alerts pop up in a non-public stream (or unlisted) when I am testing my setup out and someone happens to subscribe to the channel at the same time? I've been watching the official videos but haven't found that particular answer
Can anybody please help? Asked multiple times havent gotten a single bit of help, isnt this the "live" support they brag about? How do i get an activity feed from youtube onto my OBS?

Hello guys ! I'm switching at the moment from twitch to youtube, still have some questions for OBS.Live , how do i change my activity feed in obs and the chat, i'm not connected with my twitch anymore but the activity feed still there, should i do custom docs for youtube chat/activity feed ?

hey how can i money export to paypal?
What exactly are you referring to?
i have money on stream lements and i trying to depost money in paypal
@autumn lava If you mean from SE.Pay that's not possible. That only goes to bank.
I want to add a new command of myself how do I do it?
my alerts show up only when i emulate them but not on stream
Hi, not sure if this is the channel to ask for help? but my stream elements chat box dont seem to pick up the chat from youtube? It just shows my name but not the text.
does streamelements work with youtube chat or not?
activity feed is not working subscriptions are not privte
they dont show up and alerts also not popup
it doesnt. it wont pick up the chat as it's happening.. there's other work arounds but none official by streamelements
i have a question. maybe someone can help..
when someone subscribes to my YouTube channel, my overlay doesn't update with that person's name. it's been blank this whole time. It'll show a name when I run a test notification, but not when someone actually subscribes. any idea?
also my activity feed and dashboard aren't showing me who subscribes. it's almost as if it isn't updating at all.. nothing pulls up. i've tried logging out and in off of obs and the web browser but nothing is happening
My chat isn't showing? Theme: dark chat, show permanently, font size 16 color white
Also, can I modify this secondary chat? Setting the secondary chat hides it entirely.
Does the chat bot have a generic bad words list?
I'm hesitant to ping but I've got a stream somewhat early tomorrow
I have the same issue as Max Box
My app keeps saying can't connect to youtube

Hey guys is there a loyalty system for YT
hey my overlays are not showing
Are other people having this issue? My chat box is totally broken, is there an ETA on a fix?
I'm trying to have a different animation play for each tier of membership when someone joins. Here's the approach I took, but I had to disable all variations because having any variations seems to shut off all member alerts. Thank you and pls @ me with your response https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/415814031232991232/787820010689003580/Sub_tier.png
Open to literally any resource that directly addresses how to do this, I can find plenty of generic videos, but not one directly addressing it
also if dev could help how do i cange the SE accont name
how would i record a discord call and my game with obs?
is anyone else having a issue with the alerts not popping up?
did you find a fix for this?
Nope. No ones replying or saying anything
so they dont help people out
I wouldnât say that. They usually get back to me decently quick.. not sure whatâs going on today.. đđ
I emailed them and they replied to me. Give that a shot
ight bet man will do!
@obsidian estuary did you ever find a solution to your problem? I have the same issue
I also can't get my chat box to work
That doesn't clarify to my which one you are referring to, but since there is no YT chat widget for overlays
I will be assuming you are referring to the obs.live chat dock
@candid basin StreamElements menu, on top of OBS > Logout > Login
hmm.. ask me questions to clarify if it helps. So the situation is this, on the stream elements overlay, we add a chat box. and on my OBS, i apply the web browser with that overlay and link the stream elements bot to the chat on youtube. So.. any chat on youtube appears with a name but no text from that name. Eg.. the picture above that shows the name only but no chat following it
- There is no chat widget for the overlays yet - we are working on adding it, but no ETA on when.
- If you have an overlay with the chat widget already in it, that is most likely a copy of the twitch chat widget and I assume the overlay is provided by a 3rd party company such as NoD, VBI or Own3d.tv
and yes, I did ask you to clarify here:
ah, overlay chat widget then. I think. Sorry, I didn't understand the question earlier.
Oh apparently it was added there. Then its been affected by a bug that is also affecting the facebook chat widget
meaning its not working currently
as it should
great to know, has there been a fix for it? I've been trying to report this for a few days đą but didnt know where to drop the message. Thanks. Glad to know its a known bug for the moment
The widget is bugged and the devs are aware of it
no ETA on when its going to be fixed
đ đ Alright, totally understand. As long as it has been reported. Thanks! @versed tangle

@versed tangle 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 doesnât work on chrome, be sure none of your plugins is blocking our website or clear your cookies. You can try if the website works in an incognito tab.
@versed tangle Please logout of StreamElements at https://streamelements.com/logout and then login again to your account (Twitch/YouTube/Facebook).
@autumn wigeon 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

I DID LOGOUT
and stop using caps lock @versed tangle
im just mad
that won't help you or me
wha-
log in to YT account, get the JWT token, log in to Twitch account, get that JWT token too. then DM them both to Legendary/Sean as I told you
deletion is not needed, he can merge them together

still I dont get any activity on streamelements website activity feed
You're trying to merge the two together, so we need the token for both.
guys how do i make it so my stream overlay puts the most recent subscriber and stuff
because i put the url
or does it do it autimaticly
can someone help me
@autumn wigeon 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

I have only 1 question are the subscriber alerts that come with the overlay pack that you got are they working? answer please and thank you
Only if the sub has their subscriptions set to public
@autumn wigeon 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 user's 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 did not get anything on my activity feed in the streamelements website today. This was my first stream on youtube. Facebook worked fine.
I think something has to do with permission or may be streamelements doesn't have access to the activity in my youtube account
I'm having trouble with my alerts from my YouTube channel. SE can track my followers for Twitch and display it onscreen with my widget, but when I try to get alerts for my YouTube subs on stream, I don't get any alerts like I do with Twitch.
I am having trouble with finding the loyalty system feature in the streamelements tab. If somebody can help that would be great!
Doesn't exist for youtube

Hey there, someone joined to be a memeber of my channel but it's not being picked up by streamelements, it picked up the super chats just fine but not the member. IO can't see a way to update/force a check and thus am asking here, channel is the one linked on my discord, thanks
Question: I initially signed up via my twitch account. When I went to log in to my YouTube account I accidentally created a new account with my YouTube channel as the sign in, instead of adding it to my main account. Now when I try to fix it and add the YouTube channel to my Primary SE (Twitch login account) it says the YouTube channel has already been claimed. How can I fix this so my YouTube channel is on my Primary SE account?
Alright I know this has been discussed (I searched) but haven't found a solution. Stream delay to YT. I have it set to Ultra low-latency in YT Studio and have no delay enabled in OBS. I get a 20-25 second delay and my upload speed is 40mb/s. Any ideas? Also streaming in 1080p 60, with 6k bitrate
Hello there I am currently live on youtube, today and yesterday my alerts have not been showing up for my subscribers, what should I do? my other alerts work though like the super chat
@versed tangle 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.
Same here, even tho the people subbing have it on public, I got the email notice they subbed.. but nothing from SE.
Itâs weird because it works fine for twitch.
Same let us know the fix
Yup used to work fine in streamlabs

Hey, so I have an old youtube account with a custom URL, it currently does not hold the requirements to get it today. I had a name before and I changed it to a new name recently. When using streamelements to get alerts for youtube while streaming it works when i test it in the overlay editor, but when i go live it doesn't work. May I add that it doesn't even show up in my dashboard so im assuming there might be a channel mislink in some area? (I also did not test super chats and any other alert on youtube)
not sure I understand the issue @icy rain
what exactly doesn't work?
New subscribers on YouTube donât show up through the alert box when live, but in the overlay editor it works just fine (when simulating subscriber events)
do they show up in the activity feed?
im having the same thing happen, im guessing its an issue? i got 5 new subscribers while live tonight. but my alert didn't go off, and none of my new subscribers are showing up in the activity feed.
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
that's mostly why they don't show up
oh ok thank you so much! that makes more sense if all accounts are set to private by default!
No worries đ
but its strange that like 20 subs today and yesterday didnt show up not any of them
maybe its a coincidence I dunno
it is an option that users get by default
so their account is created with this setting as private
do you not see other events like superchats etc too?
I got the ânew subscriberâ email, so the users did not have it set to private.... SE was supposed to trigger alert, It has not... so the private setting isnât the issue here. Anyone got a fix yet?
Did you get email from YouTube showing they subscribed to you? If you did then something is messed up, because you shouldâve gotten the alert in SE.
I got new subscribers (even got the email alert sent from YouTube stating the person name - Alex has subscribed to your channel), but my SE activity feed isnât showing anything under subscribers). Can anyone assist?
Did YT email you showing you the name of the subscribers? If so, something is wrong,
@fair wolf it came up on my phone from youtube saying they subscribed to my channel while i was live, but never showed an alert
sorry yes, it shows three new subscribers for youtube in my email
Something is wrong then. If you got alert from YT, then SE shouldâve picked up on that. The help here so far consist of telling about the privacy setting, but clearly we are having another issue that needs a solution.
that shows the samething for me as well
I got 3 subs & 2 tips...... this shows 0.
it correctly shows the numbers for my twitch, but not my youtube. its weird
Yes, Twitch works great
Interesting Iâm having the same kinds of issues myself, itâs not showing subs on my dashboard and on YouTube there isnât an activity feed like there is on stream labs hopefully there will be an easy fix
Hello everyone, I have a problem. My activity feed wont update
After a donation adn a 4 new subscribers it just stoped
i got like 30 more subs bot my activity feed didnt update
and alert didnt showed
someone pls help, tnx
same for me
Same here .. my activity feed isnât working.. nothing is updating. Itâs not just âprivate subscriptionsâ at this point if so many of us are having the same issue..
Exactly, glad itâs not just me... bad timing as I just switched over from streamlabs.
Everything was working fine for me when I was using twitch (the main platform everyone uses) so naturally that one will work no problem but I feel like Facebook and YouTube people need to be prioritized too..
Yeah, I mentioned this a couple months ago. It's like StreamElements has a delay on noticing new subscribers on YouTube. The Twitch and Facebook side work fine, but there's some type of hangup with YouTube. It's made me bounce back and forth between StreamElements and StreamLabs throughout the year.
@noble yew So since the update the other day it seems that my youtube account has disconnected so i cant stream to it how di i reconnect it?
I asked on support, thay said its problem with YT API
They are working on fix
Wow you found someone to respond! Nice work.... so who is working on a fix? YT or SE? Seems like prob just started yesterday or very recently.
guys can someone help when i go on the streamelements online the loyalty section doesnt show up
I changed my youTube name, I can't find where to change my profile name on SE.
I signed out and signed back in and it worked for me idk
Big problem with my Youtube, my dashboard won't update new subs and so forth, so i'm not getting any alerts when they come in, any tips?
100% of us are having the same issue.
Iâm trying to close my YouTube account with StreamElements so I can combine it with my Twitch account but itâs not letting me because there is no email associated with the account since itâs a brand account and not through my main account with an email address. How do I close the account now?
You'd have to ask Streamlabs.
I meant StreamElements sorry đ
@fair tundra 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
I canât merge the account.. I tried that and it said the channel was already claimed
It's not for you to do it.
Please read the instructions.
@jaunty solar Don't forget you have the #dreamteam channel for support.
Please DM me and I will provide the tokens
Oh yeah, just trying to figure out this new sub issue haha
Do you understand the limitations?
seems like so many people are having it. Wasn't sure if it was just me or not
The devs have been investigating it, but we can't provide an ETA for a fix at this time.
Ahh ok thanks! :)
To be clear:
Nothing is shared
Nothing is combined
Nothing can be used simultaneously
The only benefits are copying overlay designs between the channels and swapping between the dashboards quicker.
Let me leave it the way it is for now. If I feel annoyed about logging in and out of different places, I may come back to have this done. Thx
YouTube broke their API.
So what
So we need to wait for them to fix it.
So we should go for stream labs in that time of period
It doesn't matter who you use if YouTube's own API is broken.
Their API, as in the system YouTube put into place to send out information to third parties, is broken.
How much time to recover
Scary to hear that this is a YT issue! Meaning SE wouldâve fixed this quick.... waiting on a YT fix could take months.... but yes SL didnât send alert either for my last few YT subs (that were not set to private), although it shows on SL activity log... (doesnât show on SE activity log tho).
How do I make stream elements mod while on mobile
@pallid spindle 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 or https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjerlCIbLPQwSnYlClkjDXg as a Moderator.
- When live, be sure to look at Live chat instead of Top chat, as Top chat will hide the bot messages.
if you don't have the same settings on mobile, do it on a PC

My alert for subs does not work while i am live streaming
But i works as it should if i test it
@silver oak 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 thanks i did not no that
Ill make a dummy account and test it when i can and what you said works
Hey! I'm sorry to bother, I just recently started using Stream Elements like literally less then 24 hours ago. And I did a live stream, ended it an hour ago. For some reason my Dashboard isnt working. For example over the live stream I gained 20 subs but none of it showed up on my Dashboard, some assistance would be helpful!
Currently the subscriber API is busted on Youtube's side and we are waiting for Youtube to fix it
đ
@silver oak check message above please
Could that be the reasoning behind my StreamElements dashboard not working?
Thank you.
Its ok thanks
Also did see that el was not showing up my feed
That be why looks like we need to wait for youtube too fix
It would be nice of moderators if they can let us know when YT fix this. Thank you!
Please scroll up a bit.... you will see your response isnât actually the issue for 100% of people at this time... YouTube API has recently broken & no alerts are showing up even for âpublic settingâ subscribers.
YouTube API broke... no ETA, sorry man

YouTube subs seems to work fine with streamlabs plus I get a email of the sub, yet stream elements doesnt seem to notice
I didnât get SL alert, even tho I got YT email alert. So itâs actually acting strange on both sides.... but I agree SE is completely broken at this time... meaning no activity log for SE, while it does show activity log on SL. Very odd
@eager mural thats true
I had the same issue last time I tried SE about a year ago. Sounds more like a SE issue than a youtube issue
And what should we do? Our streams lack of quality without alerts
Good point... hope that they (SE) at least look into it.
wait is everyone having alert issues?
It look like it
thank god
It was driving me crazy, couldnt fix it.
Havent had a sub alert for 4 days
Its not problem to us, its problem to YT or SE
Mine stopped 3âdays ago
Same 3-4 days ago
I still recieve a sub notification on youtube, but it never reaches streamelements to create an alert or go through the chat bot
Same bro

Hello ! Is there a way to get my current viewers count in OBS ? (from youtube stream ?) i mean just for me, not for viewers, like for twitch we had it on the downside of acitivy window
Hi, im using obs live to stream to Restream but for some reason, YouTube wont live stream
We don't support mutlistreaming. Only singular platforms.
news on youtube alerts problem ?
None, SE support hasnât said a word to any of us here.
If it's not fixed yet, there isn't anything to report yet.
They are working on it, that is the only thing i've heard
Hi Iâm just wondering, I have linked my PayPal to the bot and I have been receiving donations but the money has been going on hold is that supposed to be happening?
@sage lantern could you help?
contact paypal
it's probably a verification issue
we have nothing to do with that
Ok
Hello, My activity feed is not updating and therefore I'm also not getting any Alerts on my stream. Hope that someone can help me
Hey, Henrik apparently its a YouTube problem not a StreamElements issue. Currently the subscriber API is busted on Youtube's side and we are waiting for Youtube to fix it. Hope that helps.
Ok, well i hope they fixes it soon because I missed a lot, and that really sucks but thanks for the response my man

Hi all, Is someone able to help me? I've had my Twitch account connected to StreamElements for a while. I tried today to connect my YouTube channel to my account but I went through the homepage while logged out and now, instead of having my YouTube account added to my account, it started a whole new account at StreamElements for my YouTube account. I see now where I could have added my YouTube channel to my current account but when I try to do this now it says "Channel is already claimed" Is there anything I can correct this and have one login to access both channels? Thank you
I just asked one streamer about alerts. He is using streamlabs and he said that he does not get alerts too. Just for donations. So probelm is definetly with YT
Hey I linked my alerts and such between YouTube and Twitch correct?!
So they are the same?
Hi there. could someone help me with a few problems? I have 2 profiles on my streamelements (twitch and Youtube) but youtube doen't accept ideal tips. is there anyway i can get a little help? I m switching from tipee to SE

why wont my overlays work on
@rain breach 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

Hey how to add loyalty points on YouTube?
no loyalty system for YT
Hey guys... got my fingers crossed that YT alerts get fixed by Christmas. I hope that YT are actually aware that something broke!!
x2 Is there a way to get my current viewers count in OBS ? (from youtube stream ?) i mean just for me, not for viewers, like for twitch we had it on the downside of acitivy window ?
my streamlabs activity feed worked for 2 days then it stopped working without any changes for last 5 days ,i can't find a way to fix it
Labs or elements?
Elements
Stream elements timer comments are working but activity feed is not working that made alerts stop too
We are hoping someone from YT cares enough to fix this ASAP. Keep your fingers crossed.
To anyone that gets mad at mods or staff to reply to our concerns or issues, check yourself. They do this kindly and deal with all of our questions and concerns and they are very happy and positive so donât bring them down.
Put yourself in their shoes and see if you would like random people talking shit on your service.
Hi, I have turned on all my sub alerts and it is working fine when previewing on obs but it isnt showing when someone actually sub to my channel. Please Help, I tried signing out and signing back in.
@oblique sable two things:
- there are some issues with the youtube events right now that needs looking in to from the Youtube and StreamElements teams. They are aware and hopefully fixing it in the next couple of days (but I can't say anything more as I do not have access to the actual state of progress).
- check out this bot response below for privacy information and sub events:
@oblique sable 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 user's 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 isnt the issue
thanks a bunch, i hope it gets fixed soon
Just scrolled up for this
cheers

My subscriber alert is not working??
Hey, Darpan. Currently the subscriber API is busted on Youtube's side and we are waiting for Youtube to fix it. Hope that helps.
All we can do is wait.

Hi: Anyone who can help me merge my accounts? I messaged @versed tangle but I guess they might not be available.
Got my tokens etc
Hey, I was preoccupied with other tasks. I will tend to the merge ASAP, thank you
@versed tangle - Thanks!
Good evening, I have a problem with the alertbox from Streamelements. I have already disabled browser hardware acceleration in OBS. If I'm live and someone subscribes who has their subscriptions set to public, nothing shows up. Only one notification pops up on my phone. I hope you can help me
Itâs down for everyone.... YouTube needs to be made aware & fix it.
And when will they fix it?
Maybe if you send cookies to the YT headquarters they will do it today 
Unfortunately not
No idea
Prob will be like this for months đż
I don't know if anyone has talked about it in here yet, but from looking a bit I didn't see anyone mentioning a new problem streamers have on youtube -
Subscriber alerts are no longer working with stream elements. It simply won't show. It's not only a problem with my account, but with every youtube streamer I checked.
I believe this is a problem that also happens with streamlabs. not sure though.
Read up a bit. You'll see what's up.
Hi, where can I get help with merging my Twitch and YouTube accounts? I accidentally set them up as separate accounts under StreamElements.

You mean alerts? Yes, you can disable a kind of alert when editing the alertbox in the overlay editor.
yes my alerts but in my feed there does not come that anyone who has subbe but only that people have tipped
Please read up regarding YouTube being basically broken.

Pardon?

I'm not sure what you mean.
We do not provide 1 on 1 voice/screenshare support.

Hi! Why I do not see in StreamElements new subscriptions? Connected main account to StreamElements and my channel... But I see nothing in my dashboard đŠ
YouTube API is broken. YouTube needs to fix it.
han how to fix it
Or must I contact the support?
There is nothing anyone other than YouTube can do.
And contacting them will do nothing.
They need to fix their system.
oh ok
Means what? It dont work for anyone?
there will not work in eder stream labs
for some reason my yt alert box with stream elements is not working. when someone subscribes with subscription public it does not show up. It stopped working about a month ago.
The YouTube API is broken... they must fix it. All hope that YouTube will fix it quickly đ
I have a question, is this API problem a common thing. Does it happen frequently?
Loyalty points is not available for Youtube due to restrictions
okay
Why the recent subscription tab not working for layout
And alerts not showing up as well. Iâve linked my correct YT channel
Youtube broke their subscribers API and we are waiting for them to fix it
Gotcha, how long do you think that will take
Sunday
Oof YT really needs to work on it then

hello, so I am trying to close my youtube account because I want to link it with my existing account but I have no idea where to find my jwt token?
nvm I found it but I have a problem... I have no idea what my username is (says its wrong)
I am looking to transition from twitch to youtube and was wondering if i have to import all my chat commands and overlays from the twitch setup in stream elements to the youtube setup in stream elements? it seems the UI on stream elements keeps each account separate. if so is there an easy way to bulk transfer those chat commands? do i need to do anything different in my setup for OBS?
Trying to add a manager to my Youtube account on stream elements and they keep getting a window that says no permissions were set. and i know when i went through the process of adding the editor i set the permissions and generated the link. is there something im doing wrong vs when i did it for the twitch page?
This is the error my editor is getting when i try to addd them to my youtube channel on screen elelments:
Does anyone know how to add points
Sorry if this is a dumb question... Is there absolutely no way to console stream on youtube (PS4) and use created Overlays? or do I have to stream on Twitch in order to use my created overlays?
Hi all, new SE user. I have a couple of overlays and loyalty settings. And I think one store item that Twitch users can redeem with a chat command. This is all under SE with my Twitch login. I have never explored the YT login, but is there an easy way to bring over settings from my Twitch login? The main thing I'd like to see are the loyalty settings and possibly the chat command. Or does the YT side of things even support those options?
there is no loyalty option for YT because of limitations in the API
Since no loyalty, I'm guessing thy can;t redeem store items with a ! command?
nope
Thank you for the quick answer.

hello, so I am trying to close my youtube account because I want to link it with my existing account but it keeps coming up with the username being incorrect?
Hi everyone! I understand that YT is having issues with the stream elements alerts causing them not to show, my question is does this have anything to do with my stream elements saying that i am not online while streaming to YT? I believe because it cant detect that i am online i cant import a chatbot or have commands. Thank you in advance for any help that is offered!
Hi. The alerts arent working for me and i have a message "You have no stream activity" on the SE obs and on the website. How can i fix it please?
how do u give mod to streamelemants to come in chat
@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 or https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjerlCIbLPQwSnYlClkjDXg 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 everyone, recently streamelements stopped displaying my new subscriptions from YouTube. Sub's accounts isn't private.(checked it). Btw it isn't displayed even at my activity feed. What can i do?

i keep trying to add the dock for youtube chat but when i do it adds as another account
i've checked to make sure i'm logged into the correct account but it still shows a different one when i put the dock on SE
?
im not getting any alerts from stream elements
@Baklol Toli YT it's same for all of us and it's starting to get annoying
It's Youtube's fault, they need to fix it, nothing we can do about it
Guys, YT might need a swift kick to get their people to acknowledge the issue... letâs all msg their support to let them know. Otherwise this isnât even close on their radar or priority list.
Hello,
I am having this issue that my subscriber alert on YT is not working. The sub alert works on testing from website but does not when some one subs (public status). Also member and superchat alerts are working fine.
Any idea what could be the possbile issue?
Contact YT support. If we all did they might actually care enough to fix it.
I thought i was the only one with this issue 
100% of us having the issue, only 1 person so far has reached out to YT.. we need all of us to reach out
Due to changes by Youtube there can be a delay up to 4 hours with subscriber notifications. This is the new intended way for receiving events from Youtube by their design.
thx just had to get on a computer I see it now
Hello, why i don't have "loyalty" page?
Really? Ehhh
due to limitations from YT
then how do other streamers have it?
Im green im streaming, what's "SL"?
Streamlabs
Thx, have nice day! đ€
You too! đ
There currently is an issue on youtube's end with alerts not coming our way. You need to wait for them to fix it as it's outside of our control.
Streamlabs has loyalty bots for YT. Iâve seen it on some steamers setups.
Where do I find my Username at?

I want to make my text fade in and out whenever I get a new Subscriber. It seems to only fade in. Fade Out doesnt work. Am i doing something wrong?
Why the chatbox isn't working properly? It displays the name whoever chats but doesn't display the chat.
Can you show a screenshot of what you are looking at exactly?

how are you managing to test the chat widget while offline?
I was testing the chat while livestreaming
that screenshot I sent was a previous livestream
I believe this chat widget to be bugged and the devs are working on a new chat widget for Youtube.
Usually its not suppose to show any messages, but I guess the devs are making intermediate changes while working on the new chat widget
and it affects the old bugged one.
Oh ok. I hope they can fix it as soon as possible.
hello!
iam having trouble for fetching YT stats like subscribers or viewers etc...
StreamElements can join my YT chat too..
yet it fails to get alerts and other stuff working
my YT's overlay is also not being updated with alerts
anyone caring enough to help me fix this would be really helpful đ
YT's subscriber API is currently busted and we are waiting for them to fix it
It seems to be busted for SE only?
Oh good. I had switched to elements from labs and i noticed that my activity feed in labs was updated while it wasn't in elements. I was a bit confised.
*Confused. (Can't type today apparently)

How do I setup stream elements alerts with youtube (like subscriber alerts)
Currently we are waiting for YT to acknowledge that the alerts API is busted.. after that we wait more for them to actually do something about it. I estimate by March 2021.
ok thanks...Is it like that for streamlabs to?
Yes
thanks
@fickle raptor StreamElements menu, on top of OBS > Logout > Login

@fossil eagle Pinned messages
gotcha, thanks for clarifying
Subscriber alerts don't work anymore for me. They don't even show up in my activity feed, while new members and superchats still work.
Bare in mind that a good part of new subscribers are public subscribers. Any fix or known issue?
Check pinned message
Thanks!
@jade vector It's not available for youtube. Only twitch.
Okay thanks

how do i make a thing that tells you who has subscribed in the live chat?
that is currently broken because of YT
they need to fix it before it will work again
Getting YouTube Support to understand what is happening is soooooo much fun
They are clueless as to what is happening right under their nose. I truly believe alerts will be broken for months. Hope I get proved wrong.
Does no one from SE or any other group have a line with YT devs?
ANYONE KNOW HOW TO PUT THE CHAT ON SCREEN SO I CAN TYPE IN IT WITHOUT GOING AND PULLING UP MY OBS?
sorry caps
SL has a pin that states they have reached out... hopefully they have a better contact than the usual YT Twitter support team.
does anyone know how to verify a second channel i verifyed my main channel but my second one says
Only channel owners can verify their phone number
i have an issue with streamelements not streaming when i hit the button and with a deckboard extension not working properly
I need to merge my youtube streamelements account with my Twitch/Facebook SE profile. For some reason its making me sign out and sign back in and give permissions every time. I was direceted here when I googled it
I finally got the YT Twitter team to push me to open a ticket.
I have a friend who works for Google on another team but, he will open a ticket internally as well.
If any Devs want to pm me more details on what and how it's broken, I'll add that me both of my tickets tonight when I get home.
Anyone know why my subscription alerts aren't working?
I was told it may be a cache issue.
Check pinned messages
Gotcha, thanks
Good work!
Please do. I need this fixed as well.

Liars 
I'd like to see them deny that now.
I'm tellin ya now... once YT gets all these little things sorted out and really improves the live experience on YT, the floodgates are going to open
But until then... well,... yah
guys i need so much help. my bot doesn't work..

Does YouTube still not understand we canât get sub alerts? Itâs so frustrating p
Hey! So I'm using stream element's to set up overlays such as subscriber popups etc.
Sometimes my fans donate to me on stream and their donation pops up and is read fine on my obs, but for some reason the words get cut off. How do I fix this? Tysm
edit the secondary text settings to make it fit @untold mural
Anyone else having no sub alerts?
@obsidian apex 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 user's 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
Yeah I know that
But I have not been getting any alerts lately for the past few weeks
For subscribers only
alright... is there like no way to increase the canvas size though
what do you mean by 'canvas'?
the widget's bounding box or the actual entire overlay dimensions?
if everything else works then their profiles are probably private @obsidian apex
there's an ongoing YT API issue too
combination of those might lead to a situation where you don't see subs
we need YT to fix it, first @obsidian apex
I guess the bounding box..
well i just make the text smaller i guess
well
like for here... is there any way to increase the size of that canvas?
or whatever its called
that's your entire overlay
the blue line is your widget
the grey thing is your overlay's dimensions
- make sure your overlays are set to 1920 x 1080
- you can zoom in with the magnifying glass icons to make it better
ok
- you can make your alertbox take up the entire screen and edit text like that
or keep alertbox the size you want and make sure your text is properly set up
ok 
hmmm so I decreased the text size a bunch... but when some people donate with long messages it will only display a few words on screen and not anything else
the secret is in your hands
i trust you will find the way to make your overlays\alerts fit your own desires 
great
Hey, i have an issues with streamelements username. My current YouTube name is WanRblx but streamelements keep showing my old name
Sadly no. YT is currently in denial about the broken Alerts. They have refused to acknowledge the issue & âhave not received any widespread reportsâ. Our only chance is to spam them. Complaining & reporting here simply isnât helping.
Is there a reason that Streamelements Activity feed isn't showing my new subs? Like at all!?
YT broke something..... & have no ETA on acknowledging or fixing the issue.
@fair wolf bummer I just started transitioning over there from twitch and it's tough not being able to thank the people who follow!
Hello, is anyone having trouble with OBS right now as far as the stream appearing on their channel even though they're live in the software?
Hello ! Are we allowed to stream games in 2560x1440 on youtube? i tryed and it says that it's not recommended and the stream stil at 1080p, but i really want the 2K stream
From what I see it should be possible https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/2853702?hl=en
Same here.... although as great as my content is (hahaha), I rarely get new subscribers.
dhasboard show offline
Hey, sorry for the basic question.
How do you get the youtube live chat on the OBS screen and how do you test to see if it works?
I know about making the overlay and the obs browser source with the link but when i send a message in my live chat it doesnt show up
just a standard test in chat
have you tried to set application in full screen
Which application
Obs is in full screen and so is the browser source lmao
I dont think that changes anything
It's another glorious day. Shall we countinue spamming TeamYouTube with twitter pings to get them to fix their API?
@finite phoenix You said you managed to actually get somewhere with em yesterday. Any update on that?
issue is probably in visibility , make sure to set your yt chat transparent in OBS, check settings if its transparent
Making it transparent wont change anything because theres no chat showing up to begin with
Surely someone knows the basic answer to this basic question
I just pinged them again.... since they never responded to my 1st @
See pinned messages
Are subscriber notifications working yet does anyone know?!
sigh đŠ
do you know where we will be notified when its fixed? so I don't have to bug people đ
nope, i rely want to be fixed faster
i got like 30 new subs with no alert
Sadly YT is brushing it off & doing nothing besides acting like nothing is wrong.
Imma go live again, to tell to my subs
guys my streaming is not going live i keep on waiting for like 10 minutes and then Youtube says Connect streaming software to go live
Viewers will be able to find your stream once you go live I use obs
please help
How long do i usually have to wait
@fair wolf Can I see the tweet you sent out, so I can write something similar.
My stream wont start đŠ
how long does it take for a stream to usually start
I too just sent out one, hopefully YT will hear us.
I do it from OBS, not the live version. It stars right away. But the Stream Elements page kicks in a little after. Though the bot connects right away. If that helps your question.
mine wont start
then youtube says Connect streaming software to go live
Viewers will be able to find your stream once you go live
and my stream key is right
obs streamlabs
@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.
I mean I'm not genius but streamlabs is different from Stream Elements.
Perhaps consider switching over to OBS.Live.
want me to do a screenshot
hi
I dont know how much help I will be, though if I were you I would consider switching to OBS.Live and just wait for a SE.Staff to assist you. They would have more knowledge on the subject then I would.
i think its obs live
Yeah sorry it is obs live
@mossy helm it is sorry bout that
đ
reeeeeeeee
No worries, for that matter take a look at #helpdesk-selive . That should be more of use to you.
ok
No updates yet. I'm leveraging internal Google contacts I have to try and pressure the YT team.
the streamelements chatbox commands won't work when i have streamelements as a moderater
Hey all - I recently started streaming on YT and set up StreamElements this morning. I used one of the existing super themes and was able to get the overlays showing on my stream. What I'm struggling to figure out is how to get the subscriber notification piece to work. I was able to see 'test' a sub action in the overlay from StreamElements on the stream live and it showed up, but I received about 30 subs while streaming for the last two hours and none of them generated an alert.
Any thoughts I what I might be doing wrong?
Nothing. YouTube broke and they haven't fixed it yet.
Ahh ok, that's a bummer đŠ
Is it broken across the board for the various streaming platforms?
only youtube, but all services yes
Yeah I meant the other overlay platforms, thanks.
hi when i try and go live on youtube obs says it's live but nothing on my channel or the live dashboard

thanks also do u know how to get yr vods uploaded to yr channel i have a 1 hour 30 min stream that says it's public but it doesn't show up on my channel
@worthy badge click where it says "Customize Channel", then add a section for your past livestreams. It'll show up in the options.
subscriber alert is not working
Pinned messages
my stream chat doesnt show chat just names
i cant figure out the currency thing but i want to use it
help me đ
not with StreamElements then
fosho with streamelements
limitations in the YT API, so doesn't work with our system
@versed tangle Known bug.
k
Is there a way with OBS.Live that you can stream to the stream you have scheduled on YouTube? Since it only says go live with YouTube dashboard settings or create a YouTube live video.
hi i would like to ask for some help. my alerts are not working while streaming, also the activity feed is not working. i would be very happy if someone could help me out asap. â€ïž
@versed tangle There is no easy way to unlink 2 owner-type accounts from each other. The only way is to make a closure request from here: https://streamelements.com/dashboard/account/security
WARNING: In submitting a closure request, all linked channels within the account will be deleted and you will lose all associated data. This includes overlays, custom commands, timers and past data (tips, subs, etc). You can still reconnect with the deleted account, but you are essentially starting fresh.
Hi mate apparently its a YouTube issue, i'm having the same problem
it was driving me crazy! i was spending hours before i jumped on here to ask
is anyone getting this bug? where the chat only show the nickname
Watching a YT stream & his alerts are working.... wtf?
@tacit gull known issue.
do you know how to fix it?
wait for the devs to do that.
alright, thanks!
can you help me ? please.
Perhaps hes using streamlabs?
Streamlabs is working fine apparently with their alerts.
Streamelements
Odd.
Very odd... working for many & not working for many. Ugh
when i login to streamelements, stream labs stop working. Why?
How do i get the bot in the chat immediately when i stream?
@true viper 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.

I'm having an issue where my subs are not coming up in my alerts or labels. The sub goal increases but I'm getting no names. This happened after resetting the session. Can someone help?

I had heard there may be something like that. Didn't know if there was a solution yet. Cheers
@sage lantern How long do ya figure it's gonna take YouTube to actually fix it? This has really made my transition over to YT kinda... sour.
Same, especially since it works for some people still. Ugh
Does it actually? FFS.
I watched a YouTube stream today & his activity alerts worked. Iâm lost man
No idea, I don't work for YT 
Was asking hypothetically, but okay
I have changed my YouTube name can man change his donation page link to his new channel name?
Hello, I am new here and new to StreamElements. I am seeking advice on my overlay design on ways to improve it. Can I get that advice here?
@near ledge 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 quick start 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
I have been watching the youtube video's on StreamElements. Created an Overlay. Then recorded a test recording to see how the Overlay looks. Could someone please review it with me to see ways to improve?
If this isn't the right room, where else can I talk about overlays?
There is no right or wrong way to do it. It's your canvas to play with. It should reflect your tastes and wants. At most? Just don't block your game's UI.
@fickle pagoda yes, I tried following that advice. Where could I get someone to review what I did?
Should I go to Youtube-creators?
...
So, I watched a video on how to get StreamElements in your stream immediately when u stream and it still wont talk in my chat for some reason.

ive had no alerts for nearly 2 weeks now wtf is happening
seems the yt api is still broken
Whenever I try to paste my overlay in OBS via browser, it redirects to login page of stream elements. It automatically signs me out. #helpdesk-youtube
guys why does the chatbox only show the box but not actually show the chat messages?
when I try typing, nothing shows up on the chatbox
does anyone know?
Chat is known issue with messages not showing.
The best way is to check it on live stream. Messages may appear with delay (after stream start, before bot catches it up), but later on they will be real time
I haven't seen any message to begin with đ

is it setup like that?
My stream was unlisted
i'm guessing not, since you weren't aware you should be live
yeah, start with the above
and let us know
thing is
I don't want to go on a public stream rn
so I guess ill try some other time
when i'll want to go live
whatever works for you
Thanks @normal tulip & @peak sage I appreciate it
no worries man happy new year

Is there a way to automatically update recent subscriber alert in the overlays? I've got it added to my stream overlay but I'm only seeing options to manually type the latest subscriber
it updates automatically when youtube fixes their broken subscriber API
which is causing a lot of issues right now
Aaaaaaah okay, thank you, much appreciated đ
So YouTubes Subscriber API is still broken? In my Activity Feed nothing happens.
Yes, still broken
sub alerts? see almost every message in the last week here or check the pinned messages
yes, it is not showing any sub alerts or any other alerts
Hi! I had subscribe alerts all set up, but a couple of weeks ago it stopped working. I do not see any new activity in the activity feed since Dec. 17 (there were definitely new subs since then). Any idea how to fix this?
Youtube broke them
as mentioned in almost every message in this channel in December đ
Hard to say, but I will go with Streamlabs tomorrow đŠ
Alerts are not working on both, streamlabs and streamelements
Really? Yesterday I saw a stream which worked with StreamLabs...
for some people it still works, no one knows why, but for a lot of people it doesn't
Okay... damn. Will check it later if it works for me at StreamLabs.
Hello, I am having a problem where my streamelements does not update to new any new actions such as subscribers, donations, superchats and any other actions. This only happens on my YouTube and not my Twitch. and yes, I have made StreamElements a mod in my chat,
for example, I got a few subscribers and donations while I was streaming last night, the subs and donos did not show up on the overlay and alerts.
Hi
I did a live stream on youtube using streamlabs but even after an hour I cant find my video published
might want to ask that in the streamlabs server
where is it?
no, this is the StreamElements discord
Ruben, can you help me with my problem?
I can't, sub alerts have been broken because of YT themselves unfortunately
what do you use for tipping? paypal?
@snow siren if a viewer tipped through PayPal but no information appears in your StreamElements account, this generally means PayPal has held the tip for verification. Until PayPal clears the tip and sends back a confirmation to your StreamElements account, no information will appear there and no alert will play, as that confirmation is the only way for us to be aware of a successful transaction. If you believe there may be an issue with the transaction, you'll need to contact PayPal support as StreamElements is only a passthrough service and never actually gets involved with the transaction or touches the money
er, sorry if this is a silly question, but I wanted to use the stream elements youtube chat source for the youtube chat browser element in my streams, so that I don't need to update my chat every time I launch a new stream, that said, I can't seem to find the URL for the stream elements chat widget
I have also attempted my current streaming ui into an overlay element and I'm not seeing the chat
With a little more examination, I found that it seems to be showing a twitch chat instead of a youtube chat, how do I fix this?
I need help with OBS Live.
I have my desktop audio hooked up to the right thing but it doesn't pick up anything.
Is YouTube aware of the alert issues?
Yes, check pinned messages
They have responded to a few people, but mainly that they have not heard of widespread issue. But as we know.... itâs a widespread issue.
I reported the issue from my dashboard last night
hello?
@hidden willow StreamElements menu, on top of OBS > Logout > Login
I have done so... and I have begun streaming, that does not seem to have fixed the issue
@hidden willow 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.
hello can i ask a question
@bold mesa 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 would like to know how i can record my gameplay and have discord open. but without recording discord while im recording a video
thanks for the help, if im not online send me a personal message please. thank u
@bold mesa Obs.live is a plugin for OBS Studio for the best OBS support, please join their Official Discord @ discord.gg/obsproject
hmm
Whenever I try to add my YouTube channel to my account, it says that it is already claimed because I logged in separately with YouTube. How do I unclaim my YouTube channel so I can add it on a different account?
@robust bobcat 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
You can find your JWT token on your account channels page (Show Secrets to reveal the token): https://streamelements.com/dashboard/account/channels
READ ME: This is a private security token. Do NOT share this token here or other public places, only with a StreamElements staff member in private.
alright i have the tokens what do i do now
Do you understand the limitations?
yeah, i just want to be able to share the overlays
Hi, can I use variables for custom commands?
Please DM me your JWT tokens, clearly labeling which is which.
Your channels have been merged.
thanks!
hello I am having issue with streaming. I accidentally linked my youtube and my twitch to one account and now when I stream in OBS, even when i use twitch in the obs settings, clicking Start Streaming brings up the Stream to Youtube info box. I need to unlink my youtube account
Hello? Anyone?
@pallid apex i have the same problem try logging out then in
now i cant stream on yt or twitch
it broken
I had to completely uninstall streamelements and obs and nuke all of the cached OBS files from my PC, then reinstall and sign in initially using Twitch. Now it is letting me stream to twitch. I would still like my youtube unlinked to my stream elements please
