@wheat crown 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 StreamElements staff. I just wanted to know if the Mercury addition thats currently in closed beta should've been given out to the people who signed up a few months or so ago when I was being told that youtube features are coming soon. I never got any emails but I've signed up for it again, thanks. ( I appreciate all the new features I can get for live streams on yt )
Mercury isn't for live streaming, but you can ask in #beta_mercury
i need help how can i unlink my youtube from streamelements
Hey guys, I have ultra low latency mode enabled in youtube settings but I still get 20~ second delay on the livestream.
I can't find anything on settings within streamelements/OBS itself and I shouldn't be bottlenecked by network/hardware.
Any ideas?
hey im trying to set up stream elements to twitch not youtube but there is no way to unlink youtube from stream elements
Hi
I have a question. I'm trying to set a Timer in my dashboard. What does Online Interval and Offline Interval do?
hi, any idea how i can fix that thing with the subs
people subbing but no alerts
@rustic shoal Alerts for subscribers only show if they are publicly sharing subscription information. If they have it set to hide their subscription information in their privacy settings no alert will not show up.
is someone allowed to have multiple stream element accounts ?
My post was buried so i will try to post again
Btw a suggestion to the staff. Instead of answering here, try implementing a ticket system please. This way our posts will not be buried in chat history.
Is the chat bug fixed yet?
nope
it's a known bug and they are working on it
as much as you want
you can link they together
there is also still an issue with youtube API not showing everything correctly
online is the time it posts the message when LIVE, offline is for when you are not streaming
Offline isn't really applicable for YouTube because the bot won't be in your channel when you're not live.
It's just a holdover from Twitch's settings.
ok but is someone allowed to still make multiple accounts if they broke the youtube tos and got one of there SE accounts banned ?
I don't think that is a very wise idea
Thanks guys
Thank you for the answer!
ok so do you guys auto detect if someone is doing that? or does one need to report it to SE support via email ?
You can send in an email to StreamElements yes, but you will get no further reply other than: "we don't discuss actions taken; you can provide more proof but you won't receive a reply."
So they will look at it but not reply to you about it after sending the email.
You need to show proof of violating the TOS in the email
thats youtube fault ?
yes
@sage lantern Hey Ruben, I have ultra low latency marked in youtube but my stream still has 30 second delay when I start a stream with "create a new youtube live video with these settings". Also, For some reason "Go live with youtube live dashboard settings" doesn't work.
Any advice?
I've never streamed to YT before but can you choose another server to stream to? ( I know Twitch has that option)
Hmm I am hoping to use youtube as the platform but I will keep poking around for settings to tweek
@spring onyx Obs.live is a plugin for OBS Studio for the best OBS support, please join their Official Discord @ discord.gg/obsproject
you can always try to ask there as well
sounds good will do thanks 🙂
Hi there, I don't see the Loyalty System settings when I'm logged in through my Youtube. Is there a setting or something I need to enable for these settings to show?
Loyalty is not available for YouTube.
Ok, thanks
Youtube will not display my stream from streamelements OBS Live
How do I disconnect a channel from my account?
@tribal pine 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, ive got a problem. i did 1000 Subscribers today but streamelements only realize about 50?! it is missing many of them. Another problem is the Membergoal. The Alert shows not the number of members, it shows the duration of the newest member. If someone join, the Subgoal jumps from 150/170 to 3(duration of the member ) / 170. Is it possible to fix it ?
Is there an issue with the chat widget not showing messages in the overlay? I see the people's names but their messages don't show
Hey,I can't start up my stream! I've pressed start stream several times, i just can't get it to work.
I linked my google account to streamelements and neither chat or alerts pop up, I think it's because I created a channel on the google account instead of just using the account on youtube :/ any help is appreciated dm or ping me pls
@half furnace
oo k

Please email us here: support@streamelements.com with the account ID and desired name please.
Hey, for some reason alerts aren't seem to be working for me. would like for help please. Thanks a lot!
Hi! I'm using obs live on windows, and signed into my YouTube account. When I went to sign in for the chat, I got a error from google saying the browser wasn't secure. So I can't chat from OBS LIve
ok, i believe it is
No updates available
Do I need to switch to the beta version to make it happen/
There is currently no beta version available
click on StreamElements menu, on top of OBS > Logout > Login
see if this helps
I am enrolled as a beta tester, and have the ability in OBS Live to switch from stable to beta
Everyone has that ability
@lime walrus already did the log out/log in
but there is no beta version currently up for testing
👍 keep us posted
Has there been any news on whether the alerts for streams have been fixed yet?
You mean the delayed subscriber events?
So if I put alerts back on my streams there may be a delay up to 4 hours of them showing on stream?
I feel like there's not much point having alerts on my streams currently then
My stream is having audio delay how can i fix this
My stream lags a lot is there any way to fix it
Wait... KeiZar... is that how YouTube dealt with the issue? Or does this mean that YouTube is still working on fixing it? Cause if that's how it's going to be going forward, then yikes.
Has anyone tried contacting Fwiz about the whole subscriber alerts thing?
He keeps s***ing off about how 2021 is gonna be a great year for YTG, and if this was brought to his attention, they may actually do something about it.
Hi there! I can't login to my own chat :/ I tried logging out with streamelements but it didn't help.
uhhhhhhh
how do i tell if my account for yt is linked to obs? it doesnt show that im life when i got to youtube
@jagged wind StreamElements menu, on top of OBS > Logout > Login
thanks
uhm how do i make it to where chat shows up?
nevermind i got it up
thank you for the help
Still unable to get my stream to broadcast to youtube
my stream elements is not showing subscriber alerts
See pinned messages.
i changed from subscriber alert from private to public ......will it work now?
It does not matter. Read the pinned message regarding what YouTube did to their API.
4 hours for the first time or every time?
Every time.
They will. Four hours after the fact. 😂
my stream is for 2 hours 😆

hi there...we cant get the streamelement bot to work again..we integrated nightbot but yours are better. Just suddenly stopped working in our chat
we saw your advice at top and will try that 🙂
above our request
why can't i add a credit card to donate to youtube????
@idle orbit There are no direct donations on youtube, only Superchat and Membership, which both work with credit cards around the world.
Are you sure you are trying to use one of those functions?
I'm thinking of streamelements I can't attach a credit card for youtube donates
Have I missed any updates on the YT API disaster? Both SL & SE aren’t showing any updates still.
Nothing missed unfortunately
Ah this is different. We have multiple payment methods and those depend on the setup.
For credit cards we would need SE.Pay or Donationalerts enabled in the tipping settings. Paypal can offer credit card payments in specific cases, usually it is combined with a Paypal account.
Bom dia. Estou com problema ao utilizar o streamelements, não está contando os incritos que se inscreve, alguém consegue me ajuda ?? Não estão notificando na live quando alguem se inscreve.
[12:16]
Já uso a algum tempo e nunca notifica nem conta os incritos no painel
@minor hollow Welcome to the helpdesk!

any information about when this alert widget problem be solved?
I guess no one fix it. Youtube devs wrote its normal and delay should be as planned. So no one knows will SL or SE will find any other solution
Someone gave me idea by saying "only email alerts working realtime" so I made my own sub alerts by using gmail api, so maybe someone from devs will implement it more deeply than I made it.
Perfect! Could we tag or submit this idea? (Btw YT said a delay, but it’s still completely broken)
Just wanted to give a Shout-out to the support team. I had an issue that took several emails to resolve, but they were professional and persistent. We got the problem solved. Thank you guys so much.
@earnest jackal @fair wolf There is nothing to fix unfortunately. YouTube made the decision that no longer gives us the opportunity to have "instant" alerts. Please refer to my pinned message.
is chat bug fixed yet?
Any work around for it?
Outside of praying to the YouTube gods no.
I’m just wondering if anyone can help
I changed my YouTube name after I signed up for stream elements, but stream elements still displays my old name and uses my old name in links. Does anyone know a way to change my display name on stream elements? I couldn’t find anything else online
Email us here: support@streamelements.com with your account id and desired name.
@frigid sand 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.
Thank you, I attempted to email the support email. I hope I didn’t mess anything up
@shell echo I've been told it should be fixed. Might need to readd the widget.
YouTube have been weird recently
I got age restricted for no reason at all AND I can’t submit an appeal to undo it
We can't help with that unfortunately.
If that was in response to me, I know. I’ve contacted YouTube. Just wanted to voice my complaint
Hello. I did my first YouTube stream and tried to add streamelements as a mod but the bot never stayed in chat. I did add the link to the mod section, is there anything else I need to do?

Can someten help me, I make my first stream on YouTube using streamelements and in my recent activities doesn’t show anything and my alerts doesn’t show up, what can I do to fixed?
the youtube subs still bugged?
No, check pinned message
@rough bluff 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
Is there a way to get a label/counter for likes on that stream? I can't find it
There is no widget/label for that unfortunately
Can admin help ? i have a probleme to link my youtube account
Can you elaborate?
but the channel link
isn't the good one
it's pit2peer mobile ( 7k follow)
and i can't change that 😒
what?
Also I don't understand where the above screenshot is from
Are you referring to the MtGA program?
yes
I don't understand what you mean by that
Don't post the links like that, please
That being said, have you tried placing the correct link?
my youtube link is good on the dashboard but not on the program
Please check my last reply to the twitter DMs
If you place a closure request, both your Youtube and Twitch account will be deleted, because they are linked together
meaning you will loose all your past data
i don't care ^^

Hello, I created a YouTube chatbox for my channel. I ran a test stream and typed a few messages in the chat but they did not show up
Is there a way to emulate messages for YouTube as there is for emulating memberships
?
Can't find that option here
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.
600a79a6916b9241fc6e014e
FWIW ... I can see the effects of the opacity, background color etc. choices I make... It's just the chat messages I type in youtube that don't show up on my OBS stream
@bold pollen This is a known bug for now, we are working on a fix. YT chatbox will only display names, not the messages.
I don't see the username either
@bold pollen Like i said, this is a known bug, we are working on a fix.
Got it, thanks. Can you say when you expect the fix to be ready?
@bold pollen No ETA on that.
OK; thanks again for the quick responses.
My streamelements are not notifying on stream
There is also no activity appearing on my streamelements dashboard, help me pls
I have the same issue. When I simulate activity - I get notifications, but not during my streams.
Yes, when I do the simulation it works, but in the transmission it doesn't work. ):
@minor hollow
@median panther
Hello. Can you both please provide the account ID found here?

do I send it right here?
Yes, this is public information
5bef8afd3790dd767bf05f6c
Ok, our developers will take a look at it. Might take a few business days.
sounds good. thanks! Just to add, this has been an issue for at least a few weeks.
This is why we need the developers, it is a bug somewhere.
guys any information about when the youtube 4 hour alert delay problem be solved
they are not going to fix that, YT said it's working as intended
Hi
hello, does anyone know a fix for the activity feed and alerts not working?
I wish I had only a 4hr delay.... I get an infinite delay (activity hasn’t occurred in months in SE activity log)
How do I get the 4hr delay to work? At this point I have lots of public subs, but my SE activity hasn’t updated since December... that’s more than 4hrs. I would LOVE a 4hr delay at this point.
YT responded to my bug report stating there will be a 4hr delay going fwd..... but I don’t even get that... so some are lucky and get them after 4hrs... but most like me, never get them at all... so yes it’s not working as expected (4hr delay).
Clarify.... I actually got my first update all year.... I wasn’t streaming at the time so I never saw the alert.... but, this showing 4 days ago.. I’ve had 8 subs since... nothing since, so wayyy more than 4hrs.
Hii, Im streaming to youtube, but my question is more about doing the layout on streamelements... Is there a guide on how to add a browser source directly into your overlay?
This goes the other way around, your overlay is added as a browser source.
I suggest watching a guide how to use StreamElements, we have a YT channel called exactly that - includes the overlay setup guide.
You can add a browser source to your OBS directly
Not into our Editor
if you mean that
my obs doesnt support multiple browsersources, thats the issue
What? Every OBS supports as many browser sources as you can put in there until the system is overloaded.
so I need to pack everything into the streamelements ovelay
You can have 5-10 different browser sources per scene without any drawbacks
Im streaming from my iPad directly, without a laptop/pc
so the app there is kinda limited
OK i suggest switching the streaming device in that case.
There is no way to attach a browser source to our overlays.
There might be a way to pull data from a source somewhere and integrate that into our overlays, but that requires a lot of coding skills.
okay, thanks for your time
anyone else's activity feed not working?
I am struggling with that as well and regularly check here if any solution came up.
I logged into twitch and youtube separately and know I can't copy my alerts from Twitch to Youtube account <.< any idea how to merge them`? "Add Channels" doesn't work. I get the error message "CHANNEL IS ALREADY CLAIMED"
We can merge your accounts. If you do not mind to DM me on discord - please do, there is sensitive information.
5f39b3230a757d888cbc5458
I have been facing the same issue for weeks. I hope this might assist in troubleshooting in my case as well
Also submitted that to devs, we are looking into it.
Is there Loyalty for YouTube?
Not available on Youtube.
Okay thank you
having issue using obs studio to live stream on youtube
can anyone help?
which youtube should I try to use first of all?
and 2 the chatbox is not letting me log in
Really confused because of the new layout. where do we put our donation link?
when i stream my live cam and put an overlay my frame rate goes from 30 to 12 ??? is this normal the overlay is nothing crazy.. image/clock and subscriber ding if anyone was to subscribe.. but only sitting at 6 subs it hard to tell if that works lol
@hollow bough i heard that the popout chat link no longer works .. but i could be wrong
@tender ingot it’s not working when I try to stream on YouTube
Is that a issue on obs studio?
nope.. i think so.. i think youtube killed that option for us to use it like that
i read that the other day when i was setting up our new 2021 project that just went LIVE
so opted to not use it
So is there another way to use the chat without logging into it?
but i was using restream, and thats also a nono and i was using the chat from that , but now just youtube and no way to get the chat int here
I remember using Restream it was not issue
so thats nexts weeks venture to figure out what people are doing
An*
i guess from watching a few top youtube guys using restream is not the best idea
but thats just my opp
not sayign you to do that
i have another chann that i need chat but not sure now how to do it
You saying to use Restream just to stream on YouTube and have that chat?
Or is there a way to copy and paste the url into the browser source and bring it up that way?
i was using restream to go to facebook, youtube, twitch.. but i wanted my chan to grow and a few huys are saying not to use restream .. just to go to one destination.. so thats what im doing now, obs direct to youtube, but that means i loose my chat..
so jumped to my other project this week that has NO CHAT just to get it up and running its a live 24/7 feed
so that went live tongiht
and now back to my chan, ill have to figure out how to get youtube chat into obs
somehow
i have no idea yet sorry
and there are no videos out there for what you and i need to do.. its like its all hush hush
we cant be the only 2 lol
I’ve been on YouTube looking and try what they did but still nothing lol
nope.. i hear ya
same here
frustrating
that why i had to move to the other project for a bit
I don’t wanna use SLOBS cause I have a bad experience with bugs
But it’s just this to get the chat for YouTube it shouldn’t be a big fix to do so
Yeah I love obs studio
It’s very user friendly
i just kept an eye on the other screen chat and directed my attention to the questions every time they came in..
im sure you could ( dual screen ) screen capture and crop it and place it on obs.. but thats a crappy way to do it
I tried popping out the YouTube chat
And trying to click and drag into obs
Lol
Then I tried creating a browser source which worked but you can’t type it’ll just show you the chat
1 sec
sources
add windows capture
select the screen
and then when it shows up in teh obs
hold "alt" and you will get a green line
drag it
make it look liek that
crop it how you want
does anyone know if there is a way to unlink a youtube account that i no longer want to use?
unlink to what Charlie74
@glacial current 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.

okay, thank you. Is this a feature that will be added in the future?
@hollow bough did you get it
Nah didn’t get it
do you have dual monitor
Good morning everyone! who faced such problem?
when you try to connect a chat in the application, you need to start the broadcast. But it just doesn't load when the broadcast starts. tell me what to do Tried reinstalling it didn't help.
I do have dual monitor setup
oksweet
youtube live on the left obs on the right
then select add windows capture and then select from the drop down your left screen
then hold your alt key and drag the bars around the new window in obs to crop it
if that didnt work i can screen share to show ya
@tender ingot do u know how the donations work?

takes up to 5mins but yes it only works when live for youtube
youtube mad confusing
ima still go for youtube
Me too
ummm the stream elements bot in my channel just started randomly timing people in my chat out and I dont know what... I had to remove it from mod. Is this a known issue?
I can only see the 2 most recent that were timed out. One used a bunch of periods and one used a bunch of emotes. Would it auto time out for spam or something because of that? No banned words or anything like that were used
howdy guys, can someone really help me. i ald try to fix problem like 2 day ago.
my subs alert is not pop up when someone subs, im doing fine with twitch
can someone give me a tip
hey im a fellow on-looker. I just check this daily to see if there's any news. This is a known issue on youtube's side i believe. Something with the API when I last checked.... Beyond this issue, I think the problem is also that YouTube purposefully intends not to notify people of subscribers before a 4 hour delay too.
oh maybe yt jst broken :\
yeahh i just found out, maybe yt jst broken
sry can i ask 1 more, does the subs still delay if i use slobs?

you're exactly right... didn't even know that was a feature... just assumed it blocked messages and not timed people out... thanks I just found it @lime walrus
is there a way to import commands from my twitch streamelements account to my youtube one?
Unfortunately no
cheers
And to add on: I actually recently asked about csv import since that would be a reasonable middle ground but missing atm.
Im using Stream elemnts and im clicking on Start Streaming and it "Starts Streaming" It's not rly it just says Bitrate green and i doesnt even ask for Stream infos or anything? Anybody help? ;-;
fixed it ;-;
Having an issue with getting a variation text to show up for different tier sponsors
Is this the correct way to set it up for tier 1 ?
And is there another step that must be taken to ensure that not the default message is displayed?
Yes, subscription tier, select the tier and test it. This will override the default alert when the exact conditions match.
Testing with "emulate" worked fine
However when I subscribed for real
I saw the default message and not the message for the tier I subscribed
have you changed the subscription text?
Please make sure you emulate the correct tier. You can also replay the alert to trigger one.
this is the text I got on my test stream
since I have a variation set for each tier; I should not see the default text at any time, correct?
If you emulate the tier alert, you will see the text set for that tier alert.
Yes; emulate works fine. However, the actual subscription itself did not
Would need to check that internally. Youtube has given us some problems with alerts recently
OK, I thought maybe youtube's tier 1 maps on to tier 0 for streamelements, and since I tested the first tier membership maybe that's why it didn't work
I'll test with a higher tier sub to see if that is the case
started a tier 2 from another account... same result as tier 1: got the default text
WIll check with my colleagues, this looks like an unknown bug, we have no other reports of specifically the tier alerts being wrong.
Thanks; I will check back here
morning, if my camera is pushing bitrate 2653 kbps at 30 fps do i match this in OBS for the stream upload to youtube ? frustrating here.. im getting lines on my feed.. but not my camera direct.. not dropping frames in obs and im on fiber
@tender ingot Obs.live is a plugin for OBS Studio for the best OBS support, please join their Official Discord @ discord.gg/obsproject
im running obs studio
Cameras usually have no bitrate, unless you use an IP-cam in the network
yep, its a unifi G3
and even then you can bump it higher to get clean 30 or 60FPS
the max i can go is 6000 at 30
Try it
but looks worse
You should be able to go way higher since it is in the network that is not limited
I'm not familiar with that cam, so your best bet is the Unifi support
see the lines
ugh
if i look at the camera direct it looks fine
just soon as OBS does its thing is where i get the issue
@tender ingot play around with OBS settings then.
Ya been doing that.. regardless what I do Nada.. I'm going to check the line see if that had anything to do with it or vlc.. kill the live stream and check
If you can, avoid the VLC source, install the camera directly as a video source.
Yeppers that's what I did with rtsp feed
Hi. So, I'm diving into using Chat Bots for my Premieres and Live Streams and I would like to be able to test out the commands and fix what I need to fix before actually going Live and having people coming into Chat. I just want to focus on what I need to do rather than having to explain to people what I'm doing. Yes, I have StreamElements connected to my YouTube channel. Please help. Thank you in advance.
@cold geyser Since Youtube does not provide an offline player that supports chatbots, we can't work on it offline and actually test it. Having a separate YT channel where you run a test stream and work on it might be a solution.
And you need to provide us the specific commands that you wish for, so we can help with those.
Oh. Ok. Well, what I wanted to test out were commands I tried in Nightbot and moving it over to StreamElements, as an example: Subscribe to $(user) Channel youtube.com/channel/$(userid) Would I need to change anything as far as code goes to make this work in StreamElements? Really don't have any experience with Chat Bots, but came across StreamElements and it appealed to me more than Nightbot did.
Hi there! Could someone help me with an issue? Apparently, my alerts are not triggering when they're supposed to ( YouTube ).Does anybody have an idea what could be the cause of this?Not even a new alertbox triggers anything when someone subscribes.
How would one go about setting up loyalty points in youtube? If anybody knows of a guide or video can somebody send me a link?
Hi everyone,
I am trying to set up StreamElements, but cannot activate the Tiping Setup! Already followed the video guide, but cannot find that tab option on my YouTube account!?
Streamlabs supports this, not SE
Thank you!!!
Hi! I have a problem with DonatePay. When I try to sign in with google account, google blocke DonatePay. What I should do?
Steamlabs has all recent YT activity... but StreamElements only has YT activity from 2 days ago.... any idea why the diff?
So lemme get this straight... YouTube has no intentions on fixing the API so that it displays realtime subscriber and member events and deliberatly added a 4 hour delay instead of just fixing the issue??
my jaw is open, btw... like... my reaction is just... whyyyy
It really sucks, I am also looking in expanding to YT streaming myself but this is not helping
I think the ONLY way of getting this fixed, is by getting in touch with Fwiz
I had a talk with him last year, and he said SE and SL integration would be better this year
Yeah.... so... maybe he should know there's a big effin problem right now?
Cause I feel like he might not know
Also, I understand the idea of dripfeed updates and such, but now would be a good time to start with those on their end... for obvious reasons (especially if you've been paying attention to Devin Nash lately)
@TheRubenSaurus @YouTubeGaming @StreamElements Re: working with encoders. 10000000%. We need to improve our API’s and overall partnership with OBS, SLOBS, and StreamElements - so much live watchtime comes from these partners. Expect improvements here in 2021. I wholeheartedly agree there’s a ton of room to improve here.
Well... it went from impovements, to downright broken.
It only got worse after that tweet 
Which is a shame, because they SHOULD be making it better with all the distrust going on at Twitch over the last year. This would be a great time to strike while the iron is hot.
YT could easily take a lot of streamers from Twitch (including myself) if they upgraded their streaming side
I already switched because I'm predicting that's eventually going to happen
it's a matter of when, not if. And I'd like to build my community on YouTube before the platform becomes more satuarated than it already is. At least on the LIVE side of things, there's plenty of niche room.
I think I'm one of the few if not the ONLY person doing competitive Pokemon battles live on YouTube in English these days, since most other PokeTubers are either streaming on Twitch, or aren't doing competitive.
But yah, case in point, Fwiz needs to be made aware of this issue.
You can always tweet at him 😉
He is a really nice guy and is always open for engagements
Um... Could a few of us maybe do it?
Ya know, to make sure he gets the memo so it doesn't get buried. 😅
I'll tweet him myself shortly.

Members & superchats is real-time... just subs is broken
Also as you can see on my screenshots above, SL is working as YT described... but SE is broken still.
Good day everyone! Can please someone help me as my Activity Feed not working not in dashboard nor in Ground control nor in OBS
Someone at YT decided it was a good idea to add a 4hr - 30+ day delay to receiving alerts.
howdy, anyone have obs setting for gtx1050ti and ryzen 3 2200g?
trying 1080p always stutter
how do i save my overlay to my device
can someone help me, i move from streamlabs to streamelements and dont know how to have my latest sub and donation, bucause i import overlays and all from one site. But when i try on dashbrod it poop out but dont change on recent
Click the ➕ in the bottom left and choose labels when in the editor for the overlay.
It only tracks after you joined.
i know that but im import overlays in obs, not on steram elements
Then you need to create an overlay with the labels then.
For YT alerts I “currently” recommend Streamlabs. Currently SE seems to be busted. Scroll up to compare my YT activity on both SE/SL.
Ty, buy i have problem with streamlabs my alarts dont show up, only dono, and not updating mini feed and recent event at site al all
We can't help with streamlabs.
i know because of that i move to stream elements
Yes, both are acting up based on changes with YT API, but if you scroll up, you will see SL is actually syncing with YT, while SE is missing tons of activity that SL shows.
So how do I add a live 20sec count down screen? Obslive yt
Thanks for the advice. Unfortunately my SL works worse than SE atm. I have no updates on my alert feed in SL but I do have alerts on SE (even if delayed) lol
Go to your Twitch page in settings disconnect “Streamlabs” from connections, then open up Streamlabs website & login again.... boom, fixed! After that all new alerts will resume working again (the previously missed ones won’t populate tho).
I have a problem with the subscriber ad
Thanks. I stream on YT, so I'm assuming the process is similar. I just removed access from SL on my google account - then readded it. Hoping it works for now until SE fixes it because i'm really liking SE overall minus the few kinks
Yup exactly
Hello. Messing around with StreamElements and trying out old codes I found in Nightbot and trying to make it work in SE. A code for self promoting in Nightbot, I used Subscribe to $(user) Channel youtube.com/channel/$(userid) so that anyone that comes into chat is able to get their channel promoted. I thought I could use the same in SE but it doesn't hight the user or the userID. This is what it looks like in chat: Subscribe to $(user) Channel youtube.com/channel/$(userid)
I'm very new to Chat bots. So where is it broken?
And how would I alter it to make it work in SE? Thanks in advance.
We don't use the same variables. Please see https://streamelements.com/dashboard/bot-commands/variables for a list of all variables available with the chatbot.
No idea how to put variables together. Can you help me put it together? And then I can dissect how you did it?
You type in the variable when writing the command, and in the actual message, the variable is replaced with the data it's meant to pull.
The variables page provides examples.
ok. thank you
yeah. this is confusing.
would be the equivalent of channel/$(userid) in SE?
${user}
Didn't work. No clickable link in chat and didn't highlight the channels name

Ok. Thanks @fickle pagoda

Hey all, switched to youtube last week. But somehow OBS.Live isn't showing up YouTube chat/events. Already switched to youtube on the StreamElements website. Is there a way to activate youtube instead of Twitch?
i cant login into my chat on obs.live

this is chat i get
help please
You're getting more than me haha
ah kinda trash
trying to do something but of course something is blocking my free way

I can't even log in, it only says: Connect to Twitch

Wow this was so much easier than I had in mind! Thanks
hi anyone who can help me with the SE overlay???
@eager lily 👆
my sub alerts are not getting shown on stream
same
The loyality section is not showing in my account
Is there a way to get the donation message to show in my alrt box overlay?
this is a problem with streamlabs obs and obs live. You Are unable to chat through the apps and can only see chat.
you could popout chat and put it over streamlabs or obslive
or you could use browser source
There is no loyalty system for YT

is there any eta to the fix of the subs alert issue ?
ik about the 4hours delay
There is nothing to fix.
So I was just teaching my friend how to setup streamelements and told him to add an activity feed, is there a youtube Activity feed like there is for twitch or not?
Can I ask a question are the YouTube Subscribers Alerts still not working?
Oh ok thanks
Is there a youtube Activity feed like there is for twitch or not?
Okay thanks.
Streamelements seems to get the “delayed” alerts around 4-8hrs..... StreamLabs hasn’t caught up, it (SL) still hasn’t received my last public YT sub (SE got it)... so stick with SE. @sage lantern here is YT response from that Twitter reply that you saw.
Hi... Can someone tell me why my Live Stream settings button on the right side is gone?
hello to all the mods, I switched to stream elements a few weeks back, it all worked fine but right now i'm facing a problem with my subscription alert, so the previous day subscription alert were coming up the next day. for example someone who subbed yesterday, the alerts were showing up next day. Can you guys please help me with this issue, i searched everywhere but i got no solution.
@frozen walrus That's working as intended unfortunately. See my pinned message.
Is there a function to see live viewers during stream in the streamelements obs platform?
No.
i see alright, thanks very much
OH MY BAD, thank Q for your assistance

A question with the alerts where is the option to activate them manually or that they have a delay since I get the alerts when I test with the bots but in my live with real people the alerts do not appear
Check the pinned message up top. It's a YouTube issue, not StreamElements or Streamlabs. They added 4+ hour delay to all sub notifications/alerts.
how do I forgive my ignorance
lol all good, we're all dealing with the alert issue. Just out of everyone's hands until YouTube decides to do otherwise.
So at the moment you can't solve that right?
Well, I'm not even staff here, but even if I was, no, I wouldn't be able to. This is an issue with YouTube and them changing their API so sub notifications and alerts are no longer instant. They take 4 or more hours because of a change YouTube made on its own end.
Intentionally, at that.
then what will we do all of youtube play wait nomas: (more or less when it would be solved you know that?
I'm still creating and streaming, personally. There's no telling if YouTube will ever change it back to instant alerts, unfortunately. That ain't gonna stop me from streaming and entertaining folks. From what I've seen in my streams, most of my new subs don't mind it too much. They may ask occasionally why there was no alert, but I explain it and they understand. They can't blame us as streamers for it. It's on YouTube to fix that one.
If you are right in that we hope that youtube will solve it soon
Is it possible to add text in YouTube studio? I uploaded my video but I forgot to add a text on a certain part
Is there a way to reset the donation goal widget on overlays? I want it to be an entirely new progress bar instead of having a past donation on it if possible, thank you
@versed tangle To reset goals:
- from the Overlay Editor > Session data on top right (monitor symbol) > Goals tab > reset progress of desired goal
- from the Dashboard > Activity feed on the left > Widget data on the right > Goals tab -> reset progress of desired goal
Note: Goal widgets (progress) only counts up and doesn't go down automatically, if you lose followers/subs.
Thank you!
Hello,

Does the chatbot not work if the stream is set to private? I am testing everything before making the stream public and can't get the chatbot to respond when I type commands into the chat. Thank you for your help.
@spark rose 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.
Thanks!
How do i transfer ownership. i logged in the wring account and it says claimed already
You can DM me with the JWT tokens of both your channels and I will merge them
messaged. thank you
need help
how am i start the bot chat in my livestream
please help
And I defined Stream Elements as a live presenter
Hi. Have you added the chatbot to your channel on our dashboard (join channel button)?
how to add overlays to my streamlabs software
@viscid stratus 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
Note this:
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.
Im creating custom alerts for youtube. I have imported my custom animation but I am having troubles setting up the text in Stream Elements itself. I only want the viewers name to pop up on the alert which I have setup but I can't figure out how to change the colour of the text. I have changed all of the setting including primary and secondary text colours but it is stuck on red, any ideas?
If you use custom CCS etc. it will override the settings in the alertbox. So you would need to fix that in the code.
Idk how i did all the steps they ask
Our dashboard - the Join channel button.
In youtube or the site cuz i dont find it
On our site, here:
https://streamelements.com/dashboard
Have you aplication to last tips or subs?
Yes. I recommend watching a few guides on our YT channel (Streamelements) how to set those up.
i cant see loyalty system in dashboard
ohh i see to when i log in with twitch then only i can see loyalty points ?
but streamlabs have points system for youtube
There is loyalty for twitch, but not for yt
Maybe because they using another API 🤷♂️
Sorry but i'm not sure on that
I'm not a staff or support
StreamElements has no loyalty points for Youtube. It might be available in the future, but no ETA on that.
Thx! That is the only thing keeping me from making the full move from SL 🙌🏽
The Recent Subscribers list isn't updating from YouTube. I see some other posts about this at the end of last year but no real answer. Anyone know or point me in the right direction for an answer? Thanks!!
Currently Youtube has changed their API limits. Livestreams shorter than 4h will not get recent subs delivered in time
they might show up at some point, but with a massive delay
ahhh OK thanks!!
Other events such as Members and Superchats should be instant
yeah I got those working great!
Hello! I am trying to delete my account, but it isn't letting me because ther eis no email associated with it for some reason.
having trouble adding my you tube to elements .. jus comes up and says something went wrong ??????? pls help
Why aren't notifications working for stream elements streamlabs have working ones but not streamelements.
@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.
Hey just a quick question. I've seen people combining accounts. If I combine accounts does that effect the tipping pages. I started streaming on Twitch but now almost exclusively on YouTube but because all my animations and alerts are already set up, I'm using the tipping page attached to Twitch still... Can these be combined to a single tipping page?
No. The only benefits of merging channels into a single account are to quickly switch between them in the dashboard and to copy overlay designs between them. Absolutely nothing is shared.
OK that's what I thought. I can currently click the drop down and switch pages pretty easily... So thanks for the quick response!
In that case, they're already merged.
when i log into stream element (i am a new user) it doesn't show my subscribers..
A history is not sent through YouTube's API. Only events that take place after connecting will appear in your activity feed.
Then that would mean any sub counts for youtube through stream elements are false and would display the wrong amount
Total counts are received just fine. Specific past events will not be sent.
hmm
is ther a way I can test this, last time i didn't receave anynotifications through streaming.
Regarding that, see pinned messages.
ahh so its delayed?
Permanently, thanks to YouTube's decision.
then how streamlabs get there notifications on time
They don't any more. The change they did affected all services that use their API.
wow ok
Hello! I am trying to delete my account, but it isn't letting me because there is no email associated with it for some reason. I would like to add my YT to an existing Twitch account that I have.

Messing with mercury right now.. Is there any way to do this in a bulk manner? Also it keeps defaulting to members and there doesn't seem to be a template for sub goals.. 😩
Copy/paste doesn't seem to work. It would be nice if we could make our own template to copy in to other video descriptions.

anyone know how to get Youtube's chat and alert box to pop up on obs.live? I just switched from streaming on Twitch to now YT and I just can't figure out how to get the specific chat for youtube and whenever someone subscribes or superchat for example
@summer sable StreamElements menu, on top of OBS > Logout > Login
I dont get any alerts in my stream. I dont get notifications in my obs.live like in my acitivity feed or in my actual stream. Subs, donations, nothing works. Any ideas?
Same issue as Anarchy, anything? ^
Please see pinned messages regarding subscribers.
What about regarding Donations and subscribers who have their subscriptions public?
Doesn't matter if they're public or not. YouTube is delaying all of them.
Tips made through your tipping page are completely unrelated to YouTube's system and should be working fine. Tips made in any other method are not going through our system.
Mmk thanks
Ok. Says it could take up to hrs to receive the notification for subs. Even after four hrs and longer I don’t receive any sort of stream notifications on obs live
Hey, those are great points, mind reposting in #beta_mercury so everyone sees the answers?
hey uh how long does it take for mercury to update description widgets? its been 15 mins since my last sub and it hasnt changed
Subs might take up to 4 hours to update due to a recent change by YouTube. They just don't update their public data as often as they used to.
The role is no longer given out as Mercury is released to the public.
oop ok i thought this was the beta lol
I might need some help....
I have tried using streamlabs but i have not managed to get my youtube live chat appear on the screen.. I dont have a webcam and stuff to have an intermission scene where i can add streamelements inegrated live chat.... I tried adding the streamlabs chat url.. But it doesnt show up......
its been an entire night.. why are my subs feed not showing...
i have only youtube subs feed
no members and stuff
Help pls
See pinned messages regarding YouTube subscribers.
i saw and it said wait for 4 hrs
am i right
Different systems use different coding and different endpoints. There's no point in comparison.
YouTube messed up their API severely and we're still looking into the full effects of what they did.
ohhh sry if i am annoying
any idea on this.
We can't help you with Streamlabs. We're not Streamlabs.

Hi, my alerts will not show when some one subscribe, I have added my alert box but still will not work
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.
Ok
i need some help
i want my yt live chat on my obs.....
so i made an new overlay with just chat box and a text and added it on my obs so that the chat would be on my game scene
but for me yt live chat isnt appearing on the chat box of streamelements
i am currently checking if its working on a private stream... it doesnt seem to work
help plz
i added this on my game scene but the chat is not appearing
@versed tangle 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
Also note that a private stream can hinder us from getting the chat messages
i did so
is that so ??
Yes, private streams are enclosed and the API doesn't give us a signal that you are live or anything
then what should i do to try out my chat
oh yeah thx... it works now..... but any idea when i will get my subs feed
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.
so that means probably i wont get my alerts during stream ???
yes
ok then

any update about subscriber alert problem in youtube
it's something you need to ask YT
same problem on my phone i see that
that someone new has subscribed but the alert doesn't come through
Guys, i tried it many times, but StreamElements, OBS Streamlabs, Tipeeestream, Nightbot, nothing is working. Did i have to setup sth. at my youtube channel? it doesnt work at any channel i have. The "Test" Alerts are working, but if subscribers subscribe to my channel it doesnt. i am streaming on youtube
guys, for subs there's an issue with YT and for now they've stated it's expected that sub events ingest with an up to 4 hours delay
if it's not delayed, it's probably this -
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
just FYI for all here
I need In order for the Bot to function, it needs moderator access. Click to copy the following link to the clipboard and paste it into the Moderators list.
Where can I find the link
@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.
Click DO IT LATER
how can I change the "last tip name" with "last user message" via the bot
I have used an elevator music in my video and got a warning, but I see that other videos used it and when they do they have a little auto reference to the song, artist and etc.
How can I add that as well to remove the warning?

Anyone else having issues with Youtube alerts? my alerts work perfectly normal for stuff like Dlive and Twitch, but youtube seems to be completely mute when it comes to subs, likes or anything when live. Please help! I am using OBS Studio and none of the youtube alerts seem to work
@drowsy warren check pinned msgs in this channel
this one? @nova anchor
yep
thank you @nova anchor that really sucks. wonder if its a broken thing or they intentionally did it to screw people over...
Is there any way to copy my commands from my twitch to youtube? The accounts are linked, and I just want to migrate that stuff over.
@tawny holly outside of manually copying and pasting in the commands section no.
what do you mean? this may be a similar question i had...
@main vector That is what I though, but I though I would ask just in case I was not seeing a way to export and import.
That was a fair question. I had actually asked about this at a previous meeting having an import CSV option since twitch has it but not YouTube.
Just waiting to see if they add it.

how
@sullen gale 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.
Yes
oke
@frail glade From what I see, you have 6 enabled commands, so they all should work
If on your next stream the commands are not working
please come here while Live
and ask for someone to look into it
so what about me?
Please note that I cannot open 2 accounts at the same time
and provide instant reply in 0.0000001 seconds
okey
For you, logout from our dashboard, go here: https://myaccount.google.com/permissions - remove our connection, then clear your browser's cache and login again to our dashboard
if this doesn't help on your next stream, feel free to let us know while live.
Do note that it may take up to 15 minutes for our dashboard to show that you are live
i go to the profile
and i press to conect my yt channel
and it says
wait
i think i fixed it
@lime walrus yhe I know as I say it is just one that works but will see when I go live again will do a test stream in just a wee bit and see what happens
yoooo it still doesnt detect the live
Check your account settings
this option specifically here might be preventing us from getting the event that you are live.
Youtube
Look at the screenshot and what it says
The owner of the video, which is you
has set something to prevent embeded video
Check on both
oke
i think i fixed it
yeeeeee i fixed
i was need to fix somthing on the live settings
@lime walrus
ow
i am tring to press alow embening and its says
we had trouble saving your video
BRUHH SOMOANE
guys does anyone know how to change my live room settings?
Hi. The live settings are on the youtube side.
So you need to do the setup for the livestream on Youtube and then go live from OBS.
@near stag i have already accidently pressed schedule settings on live room settings
and now i cant allow embedded so i cant use streamelement
Revert the settings back from Premiere livestreams to normal livestreams on youtube and check if it works.
oof
Those are default OBS settings for everyone
you can either use Premieres on YT or regular livestreaming
wait
YT is not Twitch where you just press "start stream", they have more settings.
On the youtube dashboard
ye?
Go to the YT Studio livestreaming dashboard
Then you chance the settings to what you need
either Premiere with set livestreaming times or the normal livestreaming
No.
theres no settings
But providing the actual problem description with a screenshot would help a bit
Yep, you were looking at Premieres and there were none of them set up
You need to go back to the regular livestreaming
which is in the "Stream" tab
i just pressed stream
and i started streaming
but
why the streamelements doesnt detect it?
What do you mean by "Streamelements" does not detect it?
Your activity feed is connected to Twitch
while you try to stream to Youtube
Of course it will not detect it
how i change it?
You need to re-log into OBS with your Youtube
Top menu - StreamElements - Logout
then log in with YT
What browser is that?
Try to open it in Chrome
Go to the mentioned link in Chrome
It opens in the default browser
Your donation link
Where?
The activity feed shows you the events as they happen
donations, memberships, superchats
it says no live activity
Activity feed only shows you real activity from the youtube, not the chat
the youtube chat is a separate dock in OBS
if you want to test alerts etc. - do it, but they do not show up in the activity feed either.
okeee
