I am trying to delete my account so I can make it again with the proper YT URLs but I can't delete it!
It keeps saying my username is invalid when I click delete account
I just imported over from Streamlabs to Stream elements but by activity feed wont show anything. I got a new subscriber to my YT while I was streaming and nothing showed up. Alerts didn't show up as well. When I use Streamelements to do a test of the alerts they do pop up in OBS
@hexed cape Pinned messages.
@safe crater Send this info to @peak sage in DM.
Account ID:
JWT Token:
Reason for closure:
Error when using the closure form:```

i'll reply to you with our next steps
yeah
that's monka
ppl asking for stuff here AND opening tickets is 
but we still love you all

ok
guys streamelements says that im streaming but when i go to youtube studio it says connect streaming software to go live any idea on how to fix this
utilize OBS's feature called profiles to create 2 profiles, one for twitch and one for YT
changing between profiles will change your settings and stream key based on what you configure
if YT says you're not connected than you didn't connect it
and if you press 'start streaming' and go live, check your stream key and what platform it's from
check pinned messages
My streamelement alert not working
When its fixed

So I had 30ish subs on Dec 16th and now I'm up to 106. I didn't get any notifications in the activity feed for any of these new subs to the channel. Is there something special I need to do?
look above
Danii
so if i try to stream to youtube it says i have to connect streaming software to youtube
and i have
you haven't
if YT says you're not connected
you are using a non-YT stream key, or a different channel stream key
@eager lily Please, can I just get a response?
The overlay chat is broken atm.
I have a custom media/webm video for a subscriber alert. The text should be fade in after a few seconds... when I activate the text delay, the custom media/webm is going to be stuck and lagging. When I deactivate the text delay it’s looking pretty good and no lagging. Can anybody help, why it’s lagging with text delay an fade in?
Hi, quick problem on my Activity Feed. I'm currently testing the real-life livestream Activity Feed
and when I test my alternative account and subscribe it to the channel whilst on the live, or like the livestream that's currently running, it doesn't send in an activity feed on obslive?
It just shows this
Oh, sorry, I didn't read the pinned messages, my bad. I'll take care of myself, thank you!
It only works for some people. YT isn’t worried about providing a fix to the rest of us that it stopped working for.
Hi! I just wanted to ask two quick questions: 1. do the Sub alerts work with youtube (normal sub no members or anything)? 2. How do I get a .GIF to pop up when someone subs? I tried but when i added the video it doesnt work/play when I test it.
does anyone know why this is happening and why cant i start stream?
and when i try stream to twitch it still shows the start streaming to youtube

Hello! I accidentally connected my youtube and twitch accounts separately and now I can’t connect them to each other since it says the account is already claimed. How can I merge the two together?

Hello. I’m trying out my stream right now and the chat is only showing names, but not showing the messages. What can I do to fix this?

Hey, I have been having an issue where if somebody subs, donates etc, nothing shows up on my activity feed and no alert is displayed. When I do a test sub, everything works fine but when I get a real sub, nothing actually happens. Any ideas?
I have a question, I have a Youtube Account and a Twitch account I claimed separately. Is there a way that I can bring my Twitch 1upcoin alerts into my Youtube stream?
After OS reinstall I've by accident made a new account with Youtube Channel linked. I have a previous account with Twitch. Could I have it merged?
is it possible to get both youtube and twitch chat together in one widget (not just one overlay) within streamelements for multistreaming?
nope

multistreaming isnt really that good imo
@honest rock you can DM both tokens to @tardy cloud when you are ready
I only want to multistream as I make thew switch from Twitch to Youtube, rather than just immediately dumping Twitch for Youtube I'm just going to offboard affiliate and move to Youtube slowly
By using the right widget. E.g. Total Subscribers widget.
Still no update on YT's end, eh? They're never going to fix their trash API, are they?
Seems to be working for the bigger YouTubers still. Odd.
This whole mess is making me question if switching to YT was honestly the best choice.
Can someone help me merge my streamelements youtube with streamelements twitch?
I accidentally made 2 separate accounts

Just for curiosity, when was the on screen chat finally added for YouTube?
Likewise
this week 😉
I DMed Perry but Idk if thats the right person lol
@worn pumice Not all staff are able to assist with support issues. Please refrain from pinging them or sending them DMs unless asked to.
It told me to tho...
No, it told you that you would be directed to DM someone.
You would be directed to DM someone specific.
The bot didnt tel me anyone specific
Look, just don't go randomly DMing staff.
No, it did not tell you to DM staff.
Then how tf am I supposed to get my token to staff if I cant get it to staff
If we wanted you to DM any staff member, it would read "DM any staff member."
We tell you who to DM.
Who do you think triggered the bot message? It doesn't talk on its own.
Idk my discord has a bot that auto answers common questiosn so I assumed it was that
Do you understand the limitations of merging?
From a reddit post it just said that it would link my YouTube account I accidentally made to my Twitch linked account
But that was from like a year ago and it directed me here
If you don't understand yet, then please go back up and reread the bot message.
This is what I got it from
Or here, I'll give you the bot message again.

Bc I didnt mean to make it I meant to add it to my Twitch one
Read the bot message and let me know if you understand the limitations.
It does the mininum I need of sharing overlays so yea I got it
Then DM me your JWT tokens, clearly labeling which is which.
DMed, thank you
Your channels have been merged.
Thank you
Running into an issue creating overlay where I have linked it to my Youtube account but I cannot seem to follow the instructions to add widgets for Media Share.
Beginning to think I am just blind.
Media request is not available for YouTube.
Ah, That explains it.
I knew I saw it when I was setting up my Twitch profile. Thank you - Back to the drawing board.
Hi there
Need some help with my stream on Youtube. The overlays when I test them work on Streamelements but if someone tries to subscribe or if I test it by using an account that I made to resubscribe the alerts / tips don't show up on OBS / Stream
ahh read the pinned messages
Does that also apply to the dashboard and not seeing subscribers and tips?
Subscribers, yes. Tips aren't through YouTube.
how do i setup chat boxes and notifications

@keen pulsar To edit the text of a widget, click on it and select Settings at the bottom left.
that didnt work

@loud ermine Obs.live is a plugin for OBS Studio for the best OBS support, please join their Official Discord @ discord.gg/obsproject
I did, and they said that they do not support it, and I should go here.
Because you phrased it as "I need help with OBS.Live" instead of explaining the issue. OBS.Live is a plugin, and doesn't change how audio works in OBS Studio. It's still handled by the core software.
Does anyone stream on YouTube with SE and get the live chat working as an OBS overlay? I went through all the steps to install SE and have connected the chat overlay to OBS via the browser function and put in the overlay's link. But when I am streaming, the live chat does not show up in my OBS or my livestream. But when I test the chat in the SE editor, I can see the test chat show up. It just never works with actual live chat
I'm starting to think SE is only good for Twitch streaming and it doesn't really work with YouTube live chat
Hello everyone! I got a question. I was trying to copy all my twitch setting to YouTube but I logged in through the YouTube login button and didn't find the option. When I logged back on my twitch and tried to associate my YouTube channel in the settings it told me that account was already claimed. From my understanding is because I logged in directly through the YouTube login so I tried to delete that account so I could than assign it to my Twitch Channel but for someone reason there is no email associated to my YouTube channel so I can't delete it just with the JWT Token. Does anyone know how to solve this? Many thanks and Happy new year ❤️

On stream the only thing who working is donations alerts. Sorry from my English! If some one have the same issue or knows what is it please tell me! Thank you a lot! 🙂
@civic geyser Check the latest pinned message. 
In this area? @waxen raft

So its YT problem?
Exactly, and we gotta wait until they fix it.
oh man... Its annoying! btw thank you for your help my dude!
Hello. How add alerts and bot to my youtube chanel? I already setup for twitch, all works. but how do at youtube? alerts & chat bot.
The same way like Youtube i guess! Make everythinkg on the Overlay and then then copy the link and make a Browser Source on OBS paste it (delete CSS) and thats it..
Like twitch*
and bot chat? how add bot intro youtube chat?
@lusty vale 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.
Im added bot as moderator on youtube, but I dont see that its working at all.
when i type command for example !hi hi. nothing threr
what need to do?
check here
hmm?
The bot is only active when you are live
trying to delete my youtube streamelements account it wont let me because there is no email tied to it. I want to merge it in with my twitch SE account.
@sage lantern how do i transfer my donate money to my paypal
hello
so i have a problem that ijust cannot wrap my head around
so i use alpha gamings rotating subscirber feed for youtube. But SE just doesnt realize whenever someone is subbing to me
i tested it live on stream. it only displays the emulated subs. But if i reset my session data, to get rid of the emulated names, it correctly displayes my 43k subs, but it wont notice if a new sub is coming in
@lusty vale !streamelements
from where exactly?
@sage lantern where can i see the money i did get from paypal donates
@versed tangle If you have add your paypal on streamelements, when u recive a donation automatlicly the monay goes on yur paypal account
on paypal itself?
i did add it but i dont get it
@versed tangle 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
my alert box is not working at all i have tried all types of techniques
how to login with youtube its show only for twitch??
@inland thorn StreamElements menu, on top of OBS > Logout > Login
My sub alerts aren't working. The donations and member are working great except for the sub
Check the pinned messages
My youtube subscriber alert isn't working at all. Instead it randomly shows subscribers from 4 to 5 hours ago. Facebook alerts work fine, they show up instantly. But youtube sub alert just doesnt work.
Need help please
@versed musk Same here. Is there like a bug or something?
'Recent subscriber' isnt working either for Youtube
@versed musk Check pinned messages @lime geode
Yeah, that's youtube issue they need to fix it.
YT isn’t fixing it. So until they decide that it’s worth their time, we won’t see sub alerts, I have sent them several msgs & they have ignored
Well that sucks. At least i know im not doing anything wrong, i was starting to get frustrated
@abstract kayak 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.
@abstract kayak That's actually a known issue that's being worked on.
Oh really?
Ok thanks, I'll try another method for the chat then, thanks for the info
@tehbasshunter 🎣#2105
when i use latest/recent subscriber label it doesn't show neither does the subscriber notification pop up on stream or obs can anyone help ?
@lapis gust Pinned messages.
i need to add the bot that's it ?
No.
can u then explain it , please
Thanks
And you can't add timers from chat, only from the website
ok
I was going to comment in here that the activity feed for youtube subscribers hasn't worked for a couple of weeks for me no new subs added since Dec 19th but it looks like a common issue I take it this hasn't been resolved yet?
yes unfortunately that's a YT issue we're all waiting a resolution for, it should come from their side
event ingestion in general is affected with emphasis on subs, seems to be widespread
Nah it's not, it just has more goodies but YouTube could be way better if they got more of those too
Thank you @peak sage
no worries
Hi
my youtube stream is not going live, in StreamElement there is no error nothing
resolved it, there was error message in log, it was invalid title i dont know why, i just changed the title and it worked
How can I make sure Chatbot has been added to my youtube?

Once it's setup once, do we have to always readd it?
no, should be there when you go live
okay sounds good. Thanks Ruben and Happy New Year
Is there a way to untimeout someone on youtube?
hey
I accidentally created a new account instead of linking a channel to my existing account. I am unable to close the account because the youtube channel is not associated with an email address. How do I go about closing the account when the page does not allow me to enter a blank email address?
I also received 7 new subs while live streaming today and not a single one showed up in chat or as an alert....
Sadly this won’t be fixed by YT anytime soon, or ever. It’s been over 3 weeks.
I accidentally created a new account instead of linking a channel to my existing account. also i dont know what a token is
Dose anyone no why my Alerts and my activity feed don’t work for new subscribers I’ve even made a new YouTube account with subscriptions on public and it still won’t show anywhere
check pinned messages
Ok
Hi there! I have LOVED using stream elements for Twitch, but now that I'm trying to use YT is seems completely broken. Is this normal? The widget data is inaccurate, the goal trackers are stuck at 0, I don't get the post-stream summaries, etc
I have connected YT as an owner on the same day I started Twitch months ago. The bot is on my stream and is a mod. Not sure what else to do
how do i fix this?
@graceful crane 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

@fiery hound If you have a 2nd Youtube channel, then you can login with that account and it will create a new fresh account for it
is there a way to merge the personalized themes? I put in some effort to edit to my liking and i'm trying to avoid doing all that over again.
As long as the accounts are linked as owner type accounts
you can use the duplicate feature under the 3 dots to duplicate the overlay over
To link them as owner type, simply go here: https://streamelements.com/dashboard/account/channels -> scroll down -> add channel -> make sure before you click the add channel button, to login to that YT channel on YT
ok. Thank you so much.
i need some help with closing my youtube sign in so i can just link it with my twitch sign in....

There's a good chance I'm moving to YT for both streams and vids. But I'm trying to see if I can make a shoutout command where I do !so @username and it will link to their channel (one for Twitch one for YT). What variable would I use?
${user}
Thanks, would it be able to pick up the game if they happen to be a YT streamer with another?
Unfortunately, we are not able to get the game for YT channels.
as YT streams are not like Twitch streams
Oh well. Is it true that StreamElements bot would be slow based on how active the chat is?
do i just DM someone for assistance with this merger?
yes, me
Someone told me if the chat is low activity, then the bot might be slower to respond for API reasons or something
I don't know if we have something like that in place for YT
maybe it's nightbot, dunno. I don't think I can test since I have to be live correct?
yes
limitation of YT or just something u have?
Make sure its a public stream
Yea, the move won't be happening probs for a week or two. Unhappy with the whole situation at Twitch.
Is there a way to set counter commands to a specific number then count up each time it's used from then on?
hm but still have to be live to set it, rip
for the !editcounter command, yes
one more thing for now, can I create sound effect commands somehow?
So wait Stream Elements has this as a feature, yet it doesn't work? I mean it isn't even notifying me in the Stream Elements events.
How is it a YouTube issue? Sorry I just wouldn't be using Stream Elements right now if I knew this was an issue because it doesn't say it is anywhere on the site when you connect...
Sort of misleading tbh.
@zealous wind we are limited by YT, as our loyalty system is not implemented for YT users, due to these limitations
@vague quiver Yes, that has been an issue for a long time as our devs have confirmed that YT broke their subscriber API and we are still waiting on them to fix it.
Thank you. You should maybe relay to the other person that was inquiring. I don't know their name.
Was hoping to use SE bot as well, but what Murph just said, I think I'll just use SE for alerts, and something else for the bot since I would want something that alerts me on new subs and stuff.
Just so they know that it's an issue.
since SE isn't working for youtube alerts atm what are people using? (if there are some that work)
how do i update my yt name
wdym update your YT name?
YT doesn't send us a name change event, so if you want your tipping link updated, you will need to email us here: support@streamelements.com with your account ID
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.
how long does it take
Considering its Saturday, it might take a a day or two
ok

Hi! I have been successfully using StreamElements for a couple of years but I have noticed now that it no longer records new YouTube subscribers.
This is missing in the StreamElements dashboard (the last subscribers recorded were on the 17th December), the chat message and the overlay notification.
I know the bot is still connected to the channel and has moderator access as my automated messages including links are still posting correctly.
Any suggestions for getting it working again?
Check pinned message
Ah, this one I take it:
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.
Ok thanks, at least I know it's not something on my end. Fingers crossed they don't take too long to fix.
hi I'm a youtuber and I've been using streamelements for about two months, but I would like to have a way to do live on both youtube and twitch
We do not have any multistreaming support
Hello
When I want to use the live chat feature in Stream Elements, I only have the user displayed in the stream, but not the message. How can I fix this?

a week or so
Hi i have a youtube channel but i have some issue with activity feed.
And alert box
check the pinned message 😉
Actually my activity feed only shows subscribers activity till Dec 15. But i got events after that also. Its not showing
Also these subscribers are not showing in Latest sub and Recent sub widgets in overlay
Ohh..so we have to wait till it gets solved?
yes
Oh ok ok..Thanks a lot for the info 🙂
If YT cared it would’ve been fixed weeks ago. Let’s hope they don’t leave it broke for all of 2021.
Yeah.. I was thinking i did something wrong and i came here for help. Hope they check it soon.
this was my issue too damn!
@umbral flicker Yeah it was okay until Dec 15 and after that i got this issue
hopefully they fix it soon!
Doubt it.
it is possible from the channel widget-share to use this widgets for youtube?
Most is for twitch
ok. thank you Dani
but you can search maybe you find for youtube
hi guys. Wanted to start a stream, but when I press "start stream" this happens. I get a window "start streaming to YouTube" without any text or anything.
What should I do? -_-
@tribal pilot StreamElements menu, on top of OBS > Logout > Login
Would I be able to multistream to twitch and YT later on if I login thru YT only?
nope, OBS.Live doesn't support multistreaming
Im pretty sure I did multistream before ._____.
It was summer when I did multistream
not with OBS.Live then 😛

idk you might be thinking I have amnesia but that's not true
You can use OBS(.Live) with an external service like Restream. But that's not related to SE as SE itself does not support multi streaming.
Then I used external stuff and it worked. But main program is still obs
Well thank you Mr. Se.Support, logout-login worked, pop-upped window actually had some settings after I had relogined
So YT still hasn't fixed their alerts....
nope
and they probably won't... meaning I should just move my streams back to twitch and continue making offline YouTube vids for now? 
Hey one question my overlay dosen't work when people send me donation or give me a sub nothing shows up only donation goal change. What is the problem? 🙂
@fair tulip See the three messages right above yours and the pinned messages
Hmm? i am new here so ^^
Then checking the pinned messages in a helpdesk and reading the chat history is even more important 
No because we can't do anything about that
Youtube needs to fix it, not StreamElements, that is why it is taking so long
Oh so yt dosen't have the same API or what its called? 🙂
Not sure what you mean. They have problems with their API. Not more, not less.
Okey i hope they fix it its not nice if someone send some and i miss it 😄
i tried finding my own stream on YT using the app while live.... its burried so deep you have to manually search to even find a live stream LOL, its terrible, not sure if switching from Twitch was a good choice for me.
I cant get the chat bot to work on my stream, any help
@versed sequoia 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.
is there a way to make a custom bot name?
only on Twitch
@waxen raft Its working now the alert 🙂
@fair wolf APPARENTLY, they're supposed to work on fixing that, but it may also be what you're streaming. The rules of oversaturation still apply.
Huh? What alert is working now??

I want to mention something, my activity feed in SL still update
But activity feed in SE doesnt
strange
Mine have also been out since the 17th, same with my activity feed. I honestly hope they fix this cause it's getting supper annoying.
@fair wolf yes it does 😄
Hola, que tal?. desde el 17 de diciembre no salen las alertas de nuevos suscriptores en youtube. Alguien me podria ayudar?. muchas gracias
Hello, how are you? Since December 17, alerts for new subscribers have not been released on YouTube. Someone could help me?. Thanks a lot
hi im new but how do u make ur streams good like how do u make a view of u while ur streaming ur game
like when ur streaming there a view of u then the game could anyone tell me how to do that?
Is the YouTube API for subscribers still dead?
It’s dead. YT could fix it in 2 seconds if they cared.
They are trying to push streamers to Twitch is my only guess.
But why? 😅
Hey y’all!
Well I was gonna ask if anyone else is having trouble with their YouTube subscribers not popping up alerts.
But I read the chat and I guess the problem won’t be getting fixed anytime soon.
hi all, I recently made the switch from slobs to stream elements. can't get the chat working. have the overlay added as a browser source. im thinking maybe something is going on on the back end?
when i login to streamelements.com it doesn't even show that I'm live which is strange.
and im not getting sub notifications
is there a bug where youtube subs aren't showing on stream? i've had a couple during a live stream but they're not showing nor are they showing on my feed on the streamelements website
#helpdesk-youtube message Check this pinned comment.
thanks
hope they fix it soon. last sub on my SE feed was from december 5th
guys
why my subscribers on yt isnt increasing
my frend sub me right infront of my eyes
is their profile set to show their subscriptions publicly or not?
publicly
then it's an ongoing YT issue that we can't do anything about
ouh
once they fix it if we need to adjust anything we will
but rn sadly it's originating from their side
so we just have to wait till they fix it?
i'm afraid so
not everyone but it is widespread
ouh
unfortunately I really can't say how long it will take
ouh nvm
YT expect a certain amount of reports before they jump on to fix something
oic
thx for helping me😊
no worries
I am not able to find loyalty section in stream elements dashboard or on website!
can anyone help?
there's not loyalty for YT
hello, does anyone know why I can't see the loyalty settings on my streamelements dashboard?
there is no option called "loyalty settings" according to many tutorials on the internet
Doesn't exist for YT because of limitations in their API
is there a way to get all my files that i've uploading and am using for my twithc overlays onto the youtube side of my account
rather than reupload them
if you connect the accounts you can copy them over
hey guys maybe this will be a stupid question but I have a problem. StreamElements does not connect to my youtube account at least I think it dosent, I dont see that im live on the dashboard, when I try to connect to twitch account it works fine but it doesn't work with youtube? I am trying it on a unlisted stream on youtube is that the problem?
SE cannot join unlisted/private streams.
ok thanks I'll try with public than
Hi, how do I unlink my YouTube channel from my StreamElements account?
Hey there, i wonder if someone can help me out. Since December 16th my feed doesn´t update- I get tip alerts but do not get subscribers alerts for youtube streaming. I saw that on the streamlabs website the latest subs are not up to date, but the subs count of the channel is.
hello everyone since yesterday i stream on both youtube and twitch i do this with restream but use alerts from streamelements for this. when i get a follower on twitch it comes on screen and i hear everything but when i get a subscriber or subscriber on youtube i hear nothing and i see nothing. when i click an emulate follower in the program everything works. can anyone help me how to fix this.
you both should read the pinned message 😉
almost 3 week now with out all the alerts Working and the dashboard didn't refreshing...guys its very annoying.. we took subs on stream and we must look around to see who is he...
blame youtube on twitter, maybe they will finally respond

yeah i know! bbut elements have more power to push them right?
Sorry for the silly question, but if I want to use the chat widget (Stream tools -> your stream's chat), the stream needs to 1) be public (not unlisted) and 2) have the bot joined? Or is it not working for me for an unrelated reason? Thanks!
it's broken at the moment, team is aware and looking in to it
ok thank you
Is there a way to customized SE bot name in youtube live chat?
nope
Been broke for weeks. Not a SE issue, but YT doesn’t care to fix it anytime soon 👍🏽
oh ok thx
When i stream and when some1 sub to my YT there Comes no message in my stream but my overlay works.
how can i fix it?
oh ok
hello, I accidentally created a separate account for my youtube channel yesterday while Twitch was down and having issues with token logins... Today, Twitch works again, and as I tried to combine both twitch and youtube accounts, I kept getting the "Channel already claimed" Error. I read on reddit I had to come here to Discord to get help on the subject. Is there any way I can combine the channels when each has already been claimed? I wish to claim the youtube channel and add it to the existing twitch account, which is older and has more data. How should I proceed about this?
or am I asking in the wrong channel?
I am also in the same boat, I would like to merge two accounts and also remove mixer from my main account as it is no longer supported.
what is a stream bot timer on stream elements I just want to know what it mean
can i transfer my twitch commands to my youtube?
no, you have to make them again
those messages get send at specified intervals, like every 20 minutes or whatever you set them to
ok thank you
So its like for exsaple the bot tells the viewers in the live chat to follow my twitter??
if you make that yes
it possible to move my tip URL from twitch over to youtube so i dont have the random numbers on my youtube tip link?
Is there a theme or widget overlay that provides live YouTube stream chat feed?
Send us an email to support@streamelements.com with the JWT tokens from both channels, as well as the request itself for context.
Ah. Thanks again.
thanks. just sent the email with JWT tokens and request
hey there, I got some issues on stream elements
the obs is not syncing the chat nor the activity feed
I have no idea how to make it to work, also I cannot seem to make the alerts to work
@pure skiff StreamElements menu, on top of OBS > Logout > Login
the chatbox is still asking me to login and when I try to do so it doesn't let me
Can you show a screenshot of the chat box?
hi can somebody plz help.. i cant see loyaltysystem in my streamelements
Loyalty is not available for Youtube accounts
It keeps saying unable to connect to youtube. Mobile app. Android
Is it because I have less than 1 k subscribers?
can u maybe take a screenshot?
was it connecting successfully before this started happening or is this the first attempt?
This is my first attempting. @peak sage
Actually the same thing happens with streamlabs. Only for streamlabs it's saying it's broadcasting but actually not showing up live on the youtube.
Hello. I've set up youtube subscriber event, and I get no event on-screen when somebody subscribes to my channel, but if I emulate the event it works
What could be the problem?
Also, my activity feed is empty for some reason...
I think the problem is that StreamElements does not detect my YouTube events
That's YT's API issue most likely, it's been going on for quite a while
if it's not that issue, then it's:
@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 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 gained about 150 subscribers since I set it about 3 days ago, and there's nothing in my activity feed. I don't think that's normal
Yes I have
But it's very unlikely for 150 people to all have it set to private
oh
so you haven't
let me copy pase
That's YT's API issue most likely, it's been going on for quite a while
It's been broken for a while for a lot of users
and the fix is out of our hands
the more creators contact YT about it the better it will be to push this issue into their face in hopes of a fix
Okay, thanks for the patience
Can I assume that everything else is working and it's just the subs that are broken?
It's weirdly dynamic, I would treat it as general events ingestion
although most complaints we've seen is for subs
Hey, so im having 2 weird issues..
1, sometimes while I'm streaming, the chat window that is in OBS freezes and doesn't update.
2, the chat widget, display the name of the people in the chat, but doesn't show the actual message they sent.
Anyone know anything about this?
Refrence for the chat issue:
the name is displayed, but not the message
Hello, they couldn't help me when I'm streaming so it shows me I'm offline and my bots don't work
@limpid holly known issue.
How do you make your bot tell in chat you subbed right now like in a stream
what i mean is like when someone subbed right at the start of the stream they will tell you the person who subbed
This is very disheartening. They're putting the blame on SE and SLOBS 🙄
@main vector both of the issues or just one of them, and in that case which one?
#2
Hey facing 2 issues recently
- My activity feed is stuck till DEC 11 and it is not updated till now
- My bitrate drops to 0 while in mid stream ( my network is preety much fine and obs crashes, i have to restart obs once more to solve it temporarily )
there is no loyalty for youtube
well, this is not streamlabs
i have enabled points but when a viewers types !points its always shows this command only ${user} has ${user.points} ${pointsname} why can u help
how to fix this
again, loyalty is not available for youtube
oh its for twitch
then you are in the wrong channel
no am in the right channel only idk that yt doesnt have loyalty
but then why say: oh it's for twitch?
if you have questions about twitch loyalty then go to #helpdesk-twitch
Dear god NooOoo!!!
Hey Mates i have problems por update activity feeds in the web of streamelements
In account of youtube its ok
Any idea of the problema, please? ty
please read the pinned message

can u plz translate this on english
Youtube has broken the subscriber API so we can't get alerts for it or updates on the feed
So my chat widget does not function on my overlay. It’s there. But it’s not getting any feed. I have a alternate YouTube account for testing such things and nothing that’s said in the chat is showing up.
known issue, team is working on it
Oh. Ok. Thank you for getting back to me.

I'm getting a message stating that my youtube account has already been claimed. So I logged into Stream Elements using it and there is no email associated with the account so when I tried to delete it, it wouldn't allow me. The Youtube account ID I'm trying to delete is 5ff2378ead6184c87644c16f.
or if it can't be deleted, can it be merged to my twitch stream elements account with the twitch account being master?
one moment please
@little dawn 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

thank you for the help
I'm trying to use different animations for each tier of my membership program. When I chatted with Streamelements support on the website, they told me to do exactly as I have in the picture below. It still doesn't work. Thanks for your help and please do @ me in the response
How do I setup Loyalty Points?
not available for youtube
you cant set them up for youtube?
correct
does anyone know how to unlink your youtube account to obs
I already told you in #helpdesk-twitch like 10 minutes ago
yeah but whats the stream elements tab
Is there a StreamElements Discord Bot for your server?
where do you find that
in obs
hey, is the alert box and activity feed working now or still nada?
nope
i still dont understand sorry i go to obs and then do what?
you click on the StreamElements tab, and then on logout
hmm, weird that its a problem with youtube cuz ive seen streamlabs work on yt. if its a problem with yt then shouldnt every alert service not work?
then you log in again with TWITCH
SL has problems too
doesn't work for everyone
im already logged in with twitch
yeah i understand but its weird that it DOES work for some people
I agree
yeah
im already logged in with twitch
Settings > Stream > enter Twitch streamkey
already done but when i click start streaming it says the stuff for the streaming to youtube
Henlo everyone, i seem to have a problem with my alerts.
Commands are working fine in my channel, but alerts are not working, neither is the activity feed tracking subs.
I tested it with a friend today while live, his sub did not register on the activity feed.
never mind, that same friend came with the idea to "reset my personal access token", that fixed it.
Wait, this fixed the 3 week problem we are all facing with sub alerts??? Where do I go to ‘reset access token?’
🤦♂️ hold on
click your name top right first
you'll be loged out EVERYWHERE, just gotto log back in, and your alert feed and actual alerts should work again
@fair wolf
let's stop with the 'can you sub to me' ''for testing purposes'' now please
how can i test it without using emulate then
wait for someone to sub
we are not going to ask people here
there were already 3 people asking now
or be like me with 5 multiple accounts.
For the record, i didnt ask for a sub to test 😉
Let's just say that the next person asking will be muted 🙂
Sorry it was me. Thx for sharing your idea I’ll PM you my results
Hmm, ok so i tested it while live, and alerts still do not show up, even tho i get an e-mail that i have a new sub.
So back to square one, alerts are busted 😦
SL only updates feed, but no alerts
Superchats & stickers, Tips work.. “new subs” do not.
Yes
Don’t know
mmm
weird
well lets hope this gets fixed
at this point they should be getting so much support tickets
I can usually sort things out myself, but this has me confused, for real
soooo
yeah same
Hi I came here because I have an issue. When I went live none of the subscriber alert boxes worked. The sound, nor the picture. Is there a solution? (It was a youtube stream btw)
check pinned messages
euh... YT is NOT trying to fix it currently 😛
oh
yeahhh, but this bug has been going on for ages
Are there any SE devs that can follow up with YT to see if any progress?
How do you make your bot tell in chat you subbed right now like in a stream
what i mean is like when someone subbed right at the start of the stream they will tell you the person who subbed
Over the last several streams, my most recent subscriber has not changed at all. I'm guessing I have picked up 50 or so new subscribers during that time. I know that if permissions are set to private the name will not appear but it seems unlikely that 50 in a row had their permission set in this way.
Any ideas on a possible cause?
Hey all I just set moved over from Twtich to Youtube and nothing is showing my activity feed and my alerts aren't firing even though people are subscribing. I have reset my session data and still nothing is showing up. Any help would be great.
Another question. It says that the bot is in my channel, but I don't see it and none of the commands work. How do I get the bot to enter chat on Youtube
@ripe tapir 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.
Hey question I can't get the bot link for some reason on the website because I removed it now I can't get the link again so what do I do?

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.

When does YouTube fix the alerts?
I have a question, before when I was directing on YouTube, the person who subscribed appeared in the chat and the alert appeared in the live with its animation and everything, and now I do not get it, they subscribe and do not stop in the chat and neither the alert and in the registry only subs come out until December 7
Help :c
hi anyone?
My buddy at Google told me yesterday that everyone was basically out for the holidays in December. So we'll see if they catch it this month as they return.
Is that the same issue that i cannot use the follower settings?
There are no followers in YouTube.
What is considered a follower for Twitch is called a subscriber for YouTube.
ok. in youtube the subs are not display while live stream. maybe is it the issue at that moment ?
Yeah.

Please help me
I have been facing an issue for the past few days
I was regularly streaming on YouTube and my activity feed was updating regularly but then I took 2 weeks off due to my exams and then after that my activity feed stoped updating and my alers were also not updating
I've created a bug report with the YouTube API team. If there's anyone from the Streamelements staff that has any error codes or json files they can show YouTube for a fix, use my existing post and comment on it.
They're not working for anyone. Check my bug report that I linked earlier
Ohh when will it start working?
Don't know. Been a month with the issue

Hey guys, sorry if it's a spamed question, but I haven't seen any solution in messages writen here. I'm having problem, but I don't know if it's with OBS or youtube. When I test my widgets like last sub and alertbox, they work fine in OBS studio, but as soon as I go live nothing happens when someone subs. I tried looking for videos and solutions but nothing :S Same thing is happening in obs studio and streamlabs obs.
Pinned message
@lime walrus on which pinned message should I focus ? I looked at all of them, read the whole tutorial, and everything is the same as before. I have my overlays set and running, they work fine when testing in obs, but there is no alert when someone subs and it won't show me my last sub's name.
oooh. didn't read that one. sorry for bothering and thanks for your time.

hello i am currently moderating for a channel and in the overlay the member count of the channel keeps on getting bugged like automatically deducting the amount of members recently gained . In the past too once the members reset to 0 please fix this problem permanently. i have complained in the past too and they fixed it back then. The name of the channel is R3han
For those who do not know, the YouTube alerts do not work due to a google problem, they do not work in streamelements and stremlabs, YouTube said it on Twitter and so Google is on vacation and we have to wait (the vacation I don't know if It is true )
I have been wondering on stream but thx for the info @gritty citrus

I'm going to find and I'll pass it on @peak sage
thank u, I'm curious as I haven't seen a formal announcement from YT on this and it's been going on for quite a while
Got a screenshot or link?
oh, I thought you have a public statement from YT saying they're having an issue with their API
this just shows they tell ppl to contact us, which I don't understand why... but thanks nonetheless
not bad I'm wrong streamelements and streamlabs said it but I don't know where they published it
im trying to add a latest sub alert but its just invisible. i can select it but it doesnt display anything

YT is refusing to acknowledge or fix a thing. This is now official. What’s next SE Dev team??
Ok. It’s just odd for them to report this as “working as intended”:
I've been in contact with my buddy at Google and it seems like one thing they work off of is proof. If they are shown proof that something isn't working as intended, the devs will escalate the bug and work on a fix.
Do any of the SE devs have proof they can provide to Google? That seems like the next step.
There's no proof, their bug (or now, 'intended behavior') is affecting us as it affects other services
We have nothing to do at the moment, of course our dev team is trying to come up with a solution
but it won't take a minute nor will it be pushed if more users in discord ask us to fix it
I've seen the pinned message regarding YouTube alerts. Is this affecting chat too? My activity feed and chat are showing my Twitch profile panels. Guessing this is all part of the same issue but if there is a chance any of this is a secondary problem please let me know! Thanks!
im trying to add a latest sub alert but its just invisible. i can select it but it doesnt display anything
Oof
I'm posting my conversation with my Google buddy here so all are aware and have some insight of what should be expected
Much appreciated bro
Users don't have the technical info to get this resolved. SE devs should be submitting reports themselves with the appropriate information since it's at their disposal. If in fact YT did changed their API and SE no longer works, then there needs to be some sort of collab between SE and YT to get it working. But that's up to SE. YT are the big dogs in this scenario
how do i switch my stream from facebook to youtube? i was on facebook before but switched over to youtbe but it wont stream there. I changed the stream key also.
Maybe logging out? and logging in with a youtube account?
thanks
I have a lag from 10 seconds in my stream how i can fix for realtime Watching

Are youtube subalerts not working?
Due to changes by Youtube there can be a delay up to 4 hours with subscriber notifications. We are looking to what we can do to shorten
this delayed response.
wtf did they make api changes?
Unfortunately they have, again.
To my knowledge no, because the delay comes from youtube.
sadge. Thanks for your help Mitch
Not sure if you're collaborating with the streamlabs team, but they updated the post in their 'known-issues' channel to this.
Check pinned messages it's updated here also @bright sparrow
@fresh zenith Ahh I see it now 👍
Don't understand why they'd need a delay like that
hey guys. im having an issue with the stream elements bot in youtube chat while streaming. its not talking at all. and not responding to commands
The delay is up to 4hrs? Lol so far it’s been 3 weeks.... last I checked that is more than 4hrs?
It’s a new 4hr (1 month) delay YT feature probably.
At this rate, the best options seems to be to just not use SE
I used SLOBS yesterday to test. And subs were coming in about 4-6 hours later on the activity feed, but not the alert overlay. With SE, there's just nothing there. At least with SLOBS, it'll show up on the feed eventually. 🙄
@viral pond 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.
Lol classic
I have recently started using Stream elements and have been having Issues with Stream elements not updating my Subscriptions
(not since I first connected) -
from looking at a few posts, It looks like this is a known Issue ? ? ?.
( I hope it can soon be fixed)
Any updates or responses from YouTube?
Is there a staff member I can get in contact with in regards to merging my accounts?
Me
i was told in DMs that a dev was going to look into why my merch store on my youtube account isn't being created
when can they fix this bug or problem
@viral pond 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.
@analog ice what bug are you referring to?
Account ID: 5db0faf01136d3067352d7a1
I see what it is, i'm following up with the devs.
thanks
@lime walrus the one where like basically this
this
i was streaming and someone subbed it didnt show the subcriber
i thought there was a prob with link
i recheked and tried on the streamelemtns editor
it worked
but on stream it wont
the alerts
@viral pond I see what has happened here. A few days ago you wanted an alias change of the links, because you were gonna stream on YT. The merch store cannot be made right now, because your Twitch holds the "mxglory" merch link.
To make this as simple as possible without going into details that might confuse you, in order for you to make a store under your YT channel, I will have to reset your Twitch store. Is that fine?
Go for it
Let me know when my twitch merch store has been reset and I'll try making it on my YouTube account
Give it like 5 minutes and try to create it on your YT
Hey there, I'm part of the MTG creator program and I am not seeing any challenges active for january, wondering if there are none or if it is bugging out for me?
Challenges are curated by The Wizards personally. If there are not active ones right now, then The Wizards haven't added anything new.
But strange.. How others streams on youtube still have working alerts?
I created new account on youtube, set up channel, SE and alerts not working (same with SL), maybe this bug is only with new youtubers? Does other channels created before 12.24 have the same issue?
@earnest jackal we'd advise to reach out to YT about this as they've announced those delays are expected
we can't really find any specific commonality between users experiencing this issue, it is wide spread but not all YT accounts are affected
Its hard to reach YT team 😄

I'm still having an issue where OBS.Live is not showing my YouTube chat or YouTube notifications panel. It's showing my twitch chat/notifications in obs. Even though I've logged into YouTube and everything is set up correctly. Is anyone else having this issue?
I have 2 profiles, one for Twitch and one for YouTube; I've even created new profiles... only my Twitch stuff pops up. Nothing connected to my YouTube channel... even while streaming on YouTube. Just shows Twitch chat and followers.
Hi, please utilize OBS's feature 'Profiles'. It will keep all your settings including layout and stream key per profile.
You'd still need to switch StreamElements accounts in OBS.Live when switching between profiles in OBS
Oh I see you did
I've already done that
Yeah
I can send a pic maybe if you wanna see.. it just started yesterday when I updated the software
maybe uninstall and reinstall? I'd hate to lose all my settings and scenes
are you logging out and into the relevant account when switching between profiles?
I'm showing another update is available?
I'm about to update and then let you know what's going on
Yes I was
still the same
check that you've set up the proper stream key for both profiles and make sure you're logging out and back in properly
if it's showing a certain streaming profile settings it means it's connected to that account
I went to steamelements site and logged out of my Twitch account and re-logged back into my YouTube acct and I'm going to start a private stream and see if that prompts it to self-correct.
Yeah I double checked the keys yesterday but ill do that again too
Yeah even when streaming on YouTube it's just showing Twitch panels. I click on activity feed and shows my "channels" but only Twitch.
and when starting a public stream, any different?
I'm unlisted now and nothing but I can do public
when I click on widget data it takes me to my twitch data, so I logged out again and re-logged into YouTube. Streamelements site shows I'm not streamign on YouTube. tried bot command sin chat (8ball) and nothing either
It's liek it cannot connect to my YouTube channel at all
You are not logged in to YT in OBS
@versed tangle StreamElements menu, on top of OBS > Logout > Login
I will try again just one moment and thanks for replying
Fixed. I thought logging out and logging in via the streamelements site was the same thing, but I had to log out and log in via the streamelements menu in OBS for it to correctly authenticate my channel. Thank you so much.
Thank God you replied before I did full uninstall and reinstall

hi i need help
I got streamelements working
NOICE!
Guys does the stream activity in youtube work or nah
catch up above please on recent YT event ingestion issues
for example this - #helpdesk-youtube message
and scrolling up even further will lead to seeing additional discussions on the matter
ayt thx man
Hey there, I've been streaming on Twitch for a while and wanted to expand to YouTube. However I can't get streamelements to work with YT. Usually the Icon in the top left switches from "offline" to "live" as soon as I start the stream but with YT thats not the case. Chat widgets etc. don't connect. Any ideas on why that might be? Would greatly appreciate some help.
still not working right?
Check the newest pinned message. It has been updated.
in the obs dashboard i accidently deleted my chat. How do i add it back on my dashboard
StreamElements menu, on top of OBS > Chat
Is the youtube API still broken?
Check pinned messages. It has been updated.
Can be a delay up to 4 hours with subscriber notifications
How do I share my overlay via a link like how it's done in #widget-share ? I can't seem to find anything on the website to be able to do this
I keep getting "the audio bitrate is too low" error on my stream. Even though most of the time it works absolutely flawlessly. It defies logic as all settings are correct and internet speed is not an issue.
That is only possible for companies and a handful of other people and requires a background check. Normal people can get the streamer to invite them to their account as an editor and then you can copy the overlay to their account.
@obtuse oracle "Follow these steps to grant managers/moderators access to your dashboard:
- Click on your channel name at the top of the dashboard
- Create a new invite at one of three access levels (Bot Supervisor, Editor, Full Control)
- Send this invite to a mod/manager to give them access to your dashboard. The link is one-time-use and expires after 72 hours if not accepted
Video tutorial: https://youtu.be/zl_h-ttZDF0"
like that ^
Oh, I see. Well then I will just make my other account an editor.Thanks!
First of all I read the fixed messages, but the subscribers do not come at all in my broadcasts, not in 4 hours later is the fixed message on her or her answer to this error?
In my account i dont have any updated sub names since the 14th of December, a related issue? If i check my account in streamlabs its right upto date with the latest sub list
4 hour delay or not. It just doesn't work at all. Plain and simple. I'm personally waiting for SE devs to make it work properly with YT's changed API
oh so it only affects SE? hmm might have to go back to labs then
For me even with SL same problem.
After my testing the other day, Streamlabs does work, but with the delay that YT states has been implemented. So at least it works there
I got a sub, and after about 6 hours, it showed up on the feed, just no alert
With Streamlabs that is. SE never showed anything
But why YT ignoring all request to fix it..
They don't work without json files, error codes, or ways to replicate an issue. That's just how they work. Us users can't do anything; we don't have access to SE software or code required for this stuff to work, only SE has it
yeah i dont have any updated youtube subs since mid december in SE
I've already requested multiple times for an SE dev to chime in and create a bug report with YT but never heard anything. Just saying they're waiting for a fix from YT which isn't going to happen
hmm ill give to eow then and if still nothing go back to labs... which i dont want to do but also... need them alerts and updates lol
Only real alerts that work are email I get when someone subs. That...or going back to twitch 🤢
Whats the point of alerts if alerts with up to 4hrs delay 😄 ?
agreed, at least my latest sub list will be upto date on Labs
Look at it this way. YT represents your internet browser. Whenever YT (browser) updates with changes to improve things for the browser or implemented security updates or whatever, it's up to each website to update their code to work properly with the newest browser
Otherwise the website will have compatibility issues. SE is the website in this analogy
It's all pretty easy to understand. The work involved to get things working is a different story, so I know there's hard work that needs to get done. I just wish there was just some transparency with the consumers. We're not all idiots...
same im happy enough to wait, if we get some kind of update soon. I prefer SE by far, but iof its not gonna do the one thing it should..
hey why cant I go to the dashboard? I logged in and click dashboard it goes white attempting to load and goes back to the main page where it says dashboard
@versed tangle Please logout of StreamElements at https://streamelements.com/logout and then login again to your account (Twitch/YouTube/Facebook).
oh wow now i feel dumb xD thanks for the help its working now cheers
Hi I'm trying to close an account due to just realising I could use one account for my Twitch AND Youtube but I logged in with Youtube creating a new account before I realised this. I'm trying to close the account but it's asking for an email. Theres no email on the settings page of my account.
@versed tangle 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
Yes please
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.
Who do I send both tokens to?
Do you understand the limitations?
Hi @fickle pagoda would I be keeping the same donation link for both platforms? And can I use the same commands and stuff or do I still have to start fresh on the other platform?
No.
Nothing is shared.
They remain entirely separate.
i see, so its just a way to switch accounts quickly. So if I merge, nothing will change except for me being able to switch quicker?
And being able to duplicate overlay designs between them. But that's it.
Okay I'd like to go ahead and do that please
Email support@streamelements.com with your JWT tokens and the request.
Thank you
I've been having trouble with SE Dashboard. It's not showing me my subs. I don't get any notifications of new subs. Is there something wrong with my setup?
See pinned messages.
1 month vs 4 hours is a big difference 😦
i just came here to see if there's any update to the subscriber issue i guess not
What is baffling me is - I can write code and get my subscriber count no problem. So I'm not sure why there's an issue.
"viewCount": "49819",
"subscriberCount": "120",
"hiddenSubscriberCount": false,
"videoCount": "83"
}```
This also is keeping me locked out of SE Pay. I was told that would unlock a 100 subs just like 100 followers for twitch.
@gritty sleet SE.PAY is available for streamers who are at least 18 years old, with bank account under their name in one of the following countries and have at least 101 follower (Twitch) / 101 subscribers (YouTube):
Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland , Italy, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, United Kingdom, United States.
If you meet these criteria and don’t see SE.Pay, let us know.
For information on SE.Pay payment methods, their fees and settlement times see https://streamelements.com/dashboard/tipping/fees
I meet all that, who do I let know.
@gritty sleet 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.

@gritty sleet done
Thank you @tardy cloud
@tardy cloud Is there a way for my sub list to get update, it hasn't updated since Dec 16th.
So it's a little bit over the 4 hour marker.
afaik we didn't provide a 4 hours deadline, our dev team is still looking into it, but last update was that is on youtube's end
I'm confused, I can write code that hands me the amount just fine.
