@lime walrus in a private message?
thats what the message above says, yes
Hello! I have a question guys if anyone can help me out I am grateful! I am a streamer on twitch and I am using streamelements and now I want to start streaming on Youtube different content but no idea how to use streamenets for this also?
Youtube and Twitch settings around Livestreaming are pretty much identical.
Youtube just has less functions in general (no loyalty etc.) and instead of bits and subs you have members and superchats.
So question: when people sub to me on youtube, it doesn't register on streamelements and doesn't pop up as an alert.. any suggestions as to why this is happening?
Check pinned messages
got it thank you
Can someone help me with media share on obs.live?
how can i help you?
@versed tangle twitch only
Ahh danm okay
Also is there a way to retream twitch to YouTube?
Without using up to much CPU ;-;
u mean multistreaming?
just careful if u are affiliate in twitch its against it TOS
Nah I’m not I’m only using it for mediashare
Hey can anyone help me. Stream Elements widgets and things no longer work for me.
I no longer get popups when someone donates etc and my member goal never updates

Nah twitch works fine
It’s just youtube
It’s not made for streaming so it doesn’t update as fast

So i am trying to link my you tube and twitch account because i made separate accounts for them years ago. But i need to remove and close the youtube account so i can link it to the twitch account. I try to close it and i put the key and my username and my email. But it says email is wrong, I went to check it out and there is no email with the account what should I do????
@bitter sparrow 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
Is the YT chat still not showing in the chat widget?
Its been working for a month or two
That method is disabled/not working
rip
Does anyone know if youtube's report system is automatic?
It doesn’t seem like my bot is in chat when live-streaming. No sub notifications or tip notifications come through

Hi, Hoping someone can help, this is mostly YouTube but does effect Facebook in a way too. I have set up alerts which all work through tests and for Facebook these work when not actually live too. The problem with YouTube is that the activity feed for subs does not update for many hours (they are public subscribes, I know non public ones will never show). This means my alerts do not come through in any reasonable or useful time and sometimes they never show up at all!
With Facebook, new followers are instant and it all works fine, Shares however never come through as alerts or in the activity feed.
I am rather new to all this but pretty tech savy, I do stream through restream but since the activity feed never works well offline either I am guessing it has nothing to do with restream?
Any help would be great!
check the pinned messages
Thanks Ruben, so youtube completely no use for subs then! The facebook shares part will be the only issue then?
Oh and I guess that some subs never show up, is that going to be YouTube too?
@tribal urchin let me check something, what is your account id please?
Thanks 🙂
@past beacon @tall sun Sorry, I'm having a brainless morning lol! FB-5fa6533a68819184fbac3a8f YT-602cd891a1166337d610ea46

Ok will do
Hey, why does my activity feed get updated after like 12/14 hours and when it does update that is when I get the alerts too?
Got it. Thanks
@cinder oar You have been muted for that spam. I will unmute you in a few minutes but please keep your question in here and not in other unrelated channels.
Does anyone know the problem that subscription alerts are not displayed on youtube have now checked all things and it still does not work.
check the pinned messages here
I need help because when someone subscribes my alerts doesnt update and it doesnt do it automatically
@sage lantern So there is no solution since it is a problem of youtube?
Correct, they are severely delayed
There is a bug right now, I have been having my super chats randomly repeating and duplicating, they pop back up on the screen as well as add to the donation counter. Any idea on how to fix this? @eager lily
i need help : for me why loyalty points tag not showing in my dashboard ? need for fix it please @eager lily
There is no loyalty for youtube
still nothing with the delayed youtube subscribe notification on SE?
still in the pinned msgs, and that issue is caused by youtube, recommend u follow their socials if u want something like a update note about when this will be noticed
thanks
why when someone subscribes there is no animation?
Check pinned message
You are asking in the #helpdesk-youtube channel.
If you are referring to Twitch subscribers, you are asking in the wrong channel.
Did you check the pinned message?
I had a live yesterday and no notification came when someone subscribed to the channel
where
it is my second day with streamelemnts well :/
so in fact the notification with subs misses the point now right?
yea close to this
but it will alert sometime, i would use it
I can't find a guide on adding a spotify widget on the scene anywhere, help anyone?
There isn't one.
:/
HELP!! It doesn’t seem like my bot is in chat when live-streaming. No sub notifications or tip notifications come through??
@timber 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.
Hello, Is there a way to use both twitch and youtube alerts in one obs scene for mulitstreaming? I hope to stream to both platforms using my backend mux server but wish to use one set of overlays... then include a separate browser source from YT and Twitch. I'll be inside VR so I'll need to do a bunch of other tricks to actually see the chats inside VR... I'm just trying to figure out the best way to approach my OBS setup. I'll be doing a video podcast "chatting" session with a remote guest first and then will transition to streaming a multiplayer game session of Synth Riders. YouTube is my primary content creation platform, twitch is new to me but also seems to have better engagement options for the audience. I'm just 5 away from 1000 subs on YouTube so, I'd like to make sure my followers there can easily interact with my stream also. Any tips? Thanks.
@warm fulcrum not possible. Alertbox is separate for each platform.
ok. Thanks for letting me know.
quick followup: when you say "not possible" do you only mean regarding the double alerts? OR do you also mean that I cannot use the alerts if I stream using mux server while including the SE alert browser source in OBS at the same time? For example, in OBS i use the mux stream key which sends my feed to both platforms, but I get to decide which Alert system to use? Like stream to both, but only use YouTube alerts box?
Does not matter how you stream - for each platform you need a separate overlay. All the widgets including alerts are separate for that platform.
right. I think I get it. Just to clarify, I am only allowed to use one platform at a time. I cannot use both. Correct? I cannot use a youtube widget and twitch in the same OBS feed.
You CAN use both. You just need to set up everything separately and you will have more sources in OBS - overlays for Twitch and Youtube
Oh PERFECT! Thanks much.
i kinda got the same problem, it looks like it does enter the chat since the timers work and such but it doenst welcome ppl when subbed etc, also does it looks like the alerts wich i made with the obs source doesnt work, is this due to the same problem?
and is there a way to conect ground control to youtube?
Hello
I am really new what comes to live streaming and every now and then it is really good if is place where i can ask things👍
now i haven't found creator studio from youtube of mine. there is only youtube studio in that place what Stream elements adviced
There is a bug right now, I have been having my super chats randomly repeating and duplicating, they pop back up on the screen as well as add to the donation counter. Any idea on how to fix this? @eager lily
We have a minor outage right now, developers are fixing it already.
once the issue is solved, we will have time to look into that specific issue.
Ok, I know a few others here were having the same issue with repeating alerts and duplicating logs. I have to refresh the cache everytime it happens
this is forwarded to developers already, we will update you when we know more.
Much appreciated
My apologies if this has already been asked. I did a search and found a few things related but not specifically to the streamelements tips alert visuals. This happens on YT as well as Twitch for me. I have a seperate alert overlay and for the past month, I have noticed when someone tips through streamelements, I do not see a visual alert on the screen. I can hear it, but not see it. Only happens with the tip system. I have a second monitor that I can see to my right for visual reference and the tips do not appear on the overlay. I am aware of the YT "intended feature" of having sub alerts coming up to 4 hours later (which btw I am turning off now as it is irritating to see 10 sub alerts coming at once from hours previously) Anyone have any issues with the tipping system?
Hello i wanted to stream on youtube and was wondering if i can change my donation link? it currently displays my old youtube channel name
I wasnt sure if a staff had to change it or if it was a option to change it myself because i cant find a way
Can anyone help me?
If you renamed your channel, you can try logging out and logging back into the platform, that should update the link
Do other alerts appear for you as they should?
Noob question. the Variations setting for my Youtube Alerts (subscribe) won't work it shows the non variant one. What should i do to fix this?
Both variations are set to exactly 0 months. That will not work, you need to 1) make sure the month count is higher and 2) use the chance settings for them to be randomized if they are set to the same number.
Where can i change that months
I can't seem to find the Chance Settings. Will you help me?
Check the variation settings please.
can you screen shot it for me. I really can't find it. i'm dead serious
Yes i have done that
but i can't seem to change the Subscribed months exactly 0
i can't change this how to change this?
i can't see it...
I understand that due to the changes imposed by YT about subscriptions, it is impossible to make a current alert box about subscribers, right?
Do what?
the moment someone gives subscriptions, the alertbox does not come.
Thati know and understand. It's your 2nd part that doesn't make sense.
is otherwise what it might be that no notification is coming

@near stag The alert duplication has progressively gotten worse over the past 5 days. As of yesterday, the donation alerts would duplicate almost immediately after I received a tip. The alerts box is pretty much unusable until this is resolved. Just wanted to update
We are looking into that issue, developers are aware.
I posted this bug three days back and just curious if there has been a solution found to it.
"I have been having my super chats randomly repeating and duplicating, they pop back up on the screen as well as add to the donation counter. Any idea on how to fix this? They also seem to be duplicated in the stream elements dashboard. Just ping me if you can help. Thank you!"
Nevermind I just read the posts above.
The devs are looking in to that issue as you are not the only one with that problem 😄
hi all.. Im new to this fantastic System, but im looking for the loyalty system, but it doesnt show up in my dashboard. Also i want to change the name of the ChatBot but all video's on youtube arent the same as the functions i see in OBS Live Add-on. Any idea?
loyalty system and bot renaming are for twitch
Every time I start live, that is, I go into Live Studio and give it a name to Live and select an image. A live opens with a different name and no image. I tried scheduling live and it did not help.
Do you have a solution?
Hello, when I’m live on YouTube and someone subscribed it doesn’t show up. No alert, not even when I have stream elements site open on my browser it doesn’t show up. Anything I can do to fix it? I also test it on the site to see if it works and it does, just not when I’m Live.
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.
i came up here for same issue related subscriber alert, thank you for helping ✌️
where do you find your partner programs? The tab dissapeared

I wish the staff that "helped me" was a little bit more helpful lol.
@gilded echo do you feel like that comment is somewhat productive to cooperation?
I advise refraining from posting such things, and if you need additional assistance, request it without this irrelevant unproductive sarcasm
What browser are you using to view the website and edit your overlays?
need some help. Im trying to set up a live stream on stream elements for the first time through obs. in the past I've just youtubed the screen alone but with no problems. I've done some tests in the past, but today, whenever i go to test my stream, even when set as private or unlisted, its going public. usually it shows my stream output quality in youtube but this isn't showing either, just states "Start sending us your video from your streaming software to go live" even though when i go live, it streams publicly! The weirdest thing is, it’s appearing live under scheduled streams as public?
i need help mini feed not updating in streamlabs and my alerts not working for youtube
i have one issue lately. while stream i realised that superchats keep repeating and does not read latest superchat unless i goto obs and refresh browser url scene. is there a way to fix that?
The developers are aware, but the problem is still very active rendering the alert box unusable until fixed @tender jacinth
Its not repeating for now.... But it repeats a lot when there is a flood of superchats... But thanks for responding mitch ✌👍
Is there a way to import/export settings from other accounts? As in streamelements to streamelements
what kind of settings? overlays?
commands, tip settings, overlays if possible, etc
if you have your accounts merged you can duplicate overlays into other accounts but you can't duplicate other settings afaik
Hey I need help with my "Latest Subscriber Widget" please?
So I just got a new subscriber from a live stream yesterday, and when i go in my YouTube dashboard to see my latest subscribers it says that the latest was that person who subbed yesterday. But in Stream Elements on my Latest Subscriber Widget it dosent show that latest subscriber
if anyone has answers, I'm all ears
Does anyone have any advice on getting a better quality stream on YouTube? I stream at 1080p 60fps. My first YT stream I had my OBS set to stream at 5000kbps. Got comments during the stream that it looks really bad, so i looked up YT's recommendation for that resolution and it was 4500kbps - 9000kbps. So I bumped it up to 9000kbps for the stream I did tonight. The highest any of my viewers could see was 720. It looked significantly better from what I hear, but still not 1080. What am I doing wrong? Is there a setting on my channel that I need to enable or do I just need to keep upping the bitrate until I get a 1080p stream?
You can try looking at this: https://stream.twitch.tv/encoding/
YouTube does have delays in their alerts by their design, so that may be why they aren't showing up.
Not sure the Twitch chart is going to help my YouTube streaming problem. But it did inspire me to search for a YouTube encoding chart, and I just found the same information I had seen before. 4500kbps-9000kbps for 1080p at 60fps. I was at 9000, but couldn't get more than a 720p on the stream.
Yeah, the youtube one didn't seem to have to much detail on hardware, but I get what you mean. Usually if it's not your settings, it's your hardware. I am not aware of any settings you'd have to enable on youtubes end though
I'm running a 2080Ti GPU and a Ryzen 9 3950X on my Streaming PC. It's kind of overkill honestly - But that's why I'm puzzled. I don't know what the answer is.
I looked around, and some people seem to suggest setting the bitrate to 8800, instead of maxing it out at 9000. maybe that's worth a try?
I actually just got some good advice from someone on another server. Apparently to achieve the quality you have to work against YT's compression. They showed me a bitrate chart for YouTube that I hadn't seen before and it explains why I was able to get to 720, but not to 1080. Based on this info, I was told I need to be at least 12,000kbps to get a good 1080p stream. She noted that I should give it as much as I can in terms of bitrate to better quality - YT can handle up to 50,000kbps apparently.
I'll likely do a test stream tomorrow morning to see if this will work out. Thanks for talking it through with me @strong surge
No problem, and thanks for sharing that here. that should be helpful for others
@strong surge Yup! Figured it is useful for anyone that might be having similar issues as more people start streaming on YouTube.
hey i need help

How do i remove a YouTube Chanel from my streamelements?
For what purpose do you want to remove the YouTube channel?
What do you mean for what purpose?
If you want the YouTube account to be linked to another account (Twitch, Facebook etc.), we can link them for you without removing anything. Otherwise, you can delete the account completely. Depends on what your purpose is.
I just want to remove YouTube from withing my streamelements I don't want to delete my streamelements I have my twitch on it
I see that your accounts are already linked, which means that unfortunately we can't unlink them.
So i would have to delete my streamelemts acount relink my twitch and set everything up again?
Yes.

YouTube can if they choose but most likely gonna stay as is.
Hello. I just moved from the tipeeestream platform to StreamElements and my loyalty settings don't appear on the left. Can you help me please?
I only get the BOT category
@chilly moat Youtube doesn't have loyalty.
Well, how do I place my orders and go to YouTube?
Do what?
Well, how do I get alerts? that none of them work for me
nor by subscribe or donation
let us know how it looks. I've run into the same problem. It also depends largely on your upload speed and what setting you have it at, for instance "ultra low latency" the highest I heard you should do is 5500. DId that to my stream and it looked god but nor crisp. Wouldn't bit rate hurt the viewer as well though? I heard the higher it is the bitrate, the more data the viewer on their phone (thats how the majority of people see YT content) has to have to see your stream clearly. Idk of thats how it works though.
Hello streamers! Not sure if this is the right place to ask... But where is the option to change the name of the chatbot? I just can't seem to find it anywhere. Please @ me so I can find your reply if you do happen to know. Many thanks!
Hello! I am having some issues with Streamelements not recognizing when i am live, and it doesn't show any of my subscribers on the dashboard, i have streamed for nearly 2h and the dashboard says no activity and it shows me as offline. If there is someone who can help me with this please @ me. Thanks in advance!
Hello, is there a way to change the chat from twitch to youtube while streaming? Thanks
I think that would require you logging out and back in, which might cause issues during a stream.
As for the activity, there is a delay due to a design choice by YouTube. As far as the Online status, has it been working for you before?
I believe that is a twitch only feature at this time
@strong surge I just started streaming on youtube, the stream took place yesterday and the dashboard still doesn't show the subs i got during that stream. Another issue was that i had sub alerts and they didn't show when the people subscribed.
Thank you for replying!
Yeah, the reason they may not be showing when the viewer subs is likely due to the delay, which you can read in the pinned messages. But it sounds like other things may be acting up too. Can you share your account ID?
@strong surge Do I send it on DMs or is it something i can post here?
You can share it here
@strong surge Account ID: 60344e1bd7b30c4a5b068f45
The sub alert works when i Emulate it on the streamelements website, but it doesn't work when people actually subscribe
Thank you so much!
Ah I see. Thanks for the answer 🙂
hello there i need some help anyone ??
@atomic urchin Please ask your question in one helpdesk channel only. A support volunteer or StreamElements staff member will assist you as soon as they are available. Asking in multiple places will only result in confusion, not faster answers. Thank you for your patience.
Hello, how can I get this working with StreamElements bot? I can't get @pearl reef response to the message 😦
on youtube?
Hello! I posted my question yesterday and didn't get to a conclusion yet, TraffyDLaw was helping me for a bit, but i didn't get an answer after he requested my Account ID. I don't want to be annoying or anything, just was expecting some reply after i provided what was asked for.
How do i get the streamelements youtube livestreaming bot?
@minor obsidian 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.
How do you make custom commands for the streamelements youtube live stream bot?
When someone sends me money using my link how much money is taken off?
so i signed in to streamlabs to make a new overlay and i noticed they added a chat feature for yt, when did they do that, cuz about 3 or so months ago when i made my last overlay this was not a feature
hello! how can i delete my old youtube channel and one i got there by mistake?
And my main one isn't updating subscribers and stuff
Thanks in advance
@gilded glade 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.
greetings, my commands are not working in the youtube stream chat. there is no response when I enter the command and I can't find any troubleshooting methods anywhere
Hello I’ve downloaded the streamelements plugin for the obs software I have timers etc setup and have chat notifications on but none of these are showing up on my YouTube chat any reason for why this is ?

I’ve linked streamelements to a YouTube channel as moderator I’ve done that part but there’s no timers showing on my YouTube live chat and what’s the difference between top chat and live chat ?
Top chat is like the most liked comments and pinned comments, live chat is live messages/comments (this means that when you are using top chat the messages won't be live and when you are using live chat the messages will be live.)
My subscriber count is way different than my actual one, why is that. Also, my alerts are like 4 hours delayed
The pinned messages should explain the delay, and if you've just started using SE than it's likely only counting the subs since you've started using it.
You know the stream element timers etc I stream to YouTube should they appear in that like they do when using twitch because if they are mine are not showing
If the chatbot is added to the channel properly and the timers have the right settings for chat (intervals), they should work normally.
Okay thanks brother
What would happen if i delete an account? Would I be able to claim it from another user?
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.
how do you start a stream

Is SE Pay only for Twitch?
I havent the SE Pay Button. Have I first connect my PayPal Account and then SE Pay is available?
For YouTube it's a little fucky as the system is weird sometimes.
@balmy whale 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.
Tip probs
How do i let the overlay i made be seen in my livestream ?
@dapper remnant To add your overlays to OBS, add a new browser source in your scene. Paste your overlay URL in the browser source properties, set the dimensions to 1920x1080 (unless you changed them on the website) and check Shutdown source when not visible. https://youtu.be/KDvLynUqXI4
Hello i'm trying to close my youtube account, i didn't meant to create it i meant to link it under my twitch account, there is no email showing however so i cannot close the account and cannot link it under my main account.
the account ID is 6055e00030761d3cfe2375d7
Here is my Account ID: 5ee9177dd9d226c1223b721b
I hope I will get soon the SE.Pay
@hollow violet actually don't need to delete to add it. I can have staff merge them.
However there's these bits first.
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
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.
If you understand that and wanna proceed let me know and I'll send you to staff.
sudo, how long does it take to get the SE.Pay?
yes i'd like to proceed thank you, i don't want two accounts
By doing this XXL
Please logout of StreamElements at https://streamelements.com/logout and then login again to your account (Twitch/YouTube/Facebook).
@hollow violet You can find your JWT token on your account channels page (Show Secrets to reveal the token): https://streamelements.com/dashboard/account/channels

Its already activated
Thanks
Yes I am new
I can't get my chat to sign in on OBS for my stream so the bot can't access the chat. How do I sign in?
Hey, I'm trying to set my stream overlay to work on youtube. I have got it so when I test them in the editor, they appear in OBS and on stream. But when someone actually subscribes to the youtube channel that's connected to streamelements, no data is logged and stream elements doesn't register the subscriber, so no alert is sent to the overlay. Does that make sense
yes, check the pinned messages
Thank you! I see what you mean. Does that mean alertboxes just won't work like they do on twitch because of the delay?
Okay, i wish i'd known that an hour ago ahaha. Thanks so much 🙂

@fleet jacinth 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.

Please describe your issue here and someone will try to help you.
Oke
Basically I was planning to stream a game tomorrow and I want to get everything set up before I wake up so I am not rushing and freaking out about what to do. Since I can't get work done under pressure. So I was wondering if I could go over all the elements that I can set up now to make sure I am 100% clear with everything I need to do to get my stream running. I have used OBS before, but I have not done it with Stream Elements. So I was hoping I could get help the night before so I can wake up and just start streaming when I need to! 😄
I just asked to talk with someone in VC cause I feel more comfortable and more relaxed when I am getting live help from someone so if I have a question I can just ask it and know that I can get an answer
I don't think we have the resources to provide this kind of support right now. I'd love to answer any specific questions you have about features and the correct ways to use them.

@brisk spoke that's not something we really do at the moment, apologies
No I haven't, but like I said I prefer live help cause videos may not be able to answer the questions I have so I can ask them
Wdym?
I just need like 5 minutes
We do not go on voice, that's not a service we provide
you can however view all the video tutorials and have it all figured out
Cause I am streaming in the morning and I want to get help with it now so I don't stress out and wake up not knowing what to do
I
I don't think I will feel as mentally prepared if I just watched the videos then if I got live help from someone who knows all about this
Like I said, we do not go on voice, this is not up for debate, I'm afraid.
I can try to watch the videos, but I want an extra crutch just in case something goes wrong
I just can't handle doing work under pressure which is why I was hoping I could be streaming tomorrow and get the help tonight
We're here around the clock if anything goes wrong with your setup. Just go for it and if something is unclear or goes wrong, ask us.
I know
I just
It stresses me out working on it like this. I am not trying to make excuses I promise. I am just trying to keep my mental health in check while I do this.
I'm very sorry for bothering you all
I just feel less pressured when I have someone guiding me cause I mess up at a lot of things and I second guess myself on everything so I never know if what I am doing is 100% right
if u aren't going to use overlays then u are fine @brisk spoke
when i tried to tip my own channel for testing tips with my sister paypal it gave an error saying ERROR! SELLER RESTRICTION pls help
restricted by paypal, contact them.
Earlier I had custom emotes that showed up on screen after someone came on stream. I removed the emote and the layers and even now the custom emotes show up. Do I have another option than to close my account and start it again?
did u already restarted the streaming software (obslive or)?
emote yt chat

Hi, go ahead.
hello , i have a problem with SE , my last couple subs dont show on my dashboard or on my activy feed als my widgets don't work on youtube
On YouTube, alerts can be delayed for hours or entirely, but this is by YouTube's design
thank you for your reaction , i know that youtube has a lot of delay for the widgets but my new subs also dont show anywhere in SE dashboard or my activity feed and that are subs from the last 10 days that dont show up
Hi, i'm having the same problem, it seems that youtube activity is no longer shown anywhere on activity feed or alert box, labels aren't updating too. i had some people subscribing in the last week and never noticed it.
i work with obs studio and streamelements , i opened streamlabs to check if that was working , but that worked correctly , i can see my newest subs in streamlabs but not in elements. i prefer elements because i don't like streamlabs so i hope someone knows how to fix this😩
yeah, i started streaming for fun mostly to hangout with my friends but lately i am getting some subs and i hate the fact that i am unable to give a shoutout
exactly
It doesn't work when i click the "connect my account" button
anyone here?
ok i'll come back together hopefully someone knows what's going on
still not...?
@karmic reef @half ridge Currently there is an issue with Youtube API wehere some events are taking up to 4 hours to come our way or even not coming at all. Unfortunately, this is out of our control.
Does this work with other platforms (like twitch?) and can you login to the dashboard online? The browser in OBS is not accepted by Google, so YouTube logins are being affected.
I stream yesterday on youtube and never changed anything i get on today and i will go live but its like its not connecting to my youtube
please help me out

@oblique smelt don't spam and state your issue here if you have one
i have an issue
what do i do then, @narrow locust
So heres my issue okay. When I get new Subs on YouTube while I am live, Those subs don't give me Alerts or appear in my Activity feed. However I get Alerts and Activity feed for Subs while Offline. I don't know if anyone see's my issue with that or not so I'll explain why it is an issue. I want to thank people for going out of their way and hitting that sub button
check the pinned messages
streamelements support please help me
@oblique smelt Welcome to the helpdesk! Please let us know how we can assist you today and a support volunteer or staff member will assist you as soon as they are available. Thank you for your patience.
okay but then why is it that the offline subscriber alerts come through instantly?
I just don't get it lol
thanks for the info though
those are probably the ones that subbed during stream 😛
but it takes so long that you are offline before they show
No I can tell you I was online when I got the most recent subscriber
streamelements support, I Have An Issue. The Issue Is: I change The Browser Link on my OBS Screen but the link display was the same. It Was a Google Account Sign Up To Continue To YouTube. It Showed On My OBS Screen.
@oblique smelt Please provide a proper screenshot with the issue visible. If not sure how to take a screenshot, you can check here: https://www.take-a-screenshot.org
This is The Issue Screenshot
what are you trying to display here?
on the browser source
yes
I don't understand
Here's Where The Issue Happened:
what are you using the browser source for though...?
Unfortunately the browser source will take a web page and display it but it isn't interactive. So if you beed to sign in to see a page its gonna go to that sign in page first I tried to also do this with a D&D browser but it doesnt have intractability so you have to window capture and just have it elsewhere
the best way to maybe do this would be window capturing it
and then have that window open on the side while you stream
even if its minimized if you have the window open but minimized and selected in obs to display that it should display then to crop out what you don't want you just hold alt and drag the box to crop the stuff you don't want out
That's an OBS thing and not a streamelements thing unfortunately
Here is where i Saved:
@oblique smelt Obs.live is a plugin for OBS Studio for the best OBS support, please join their Official Discord @ discord.gg/obsproject
I Clicked Ok & The Browser Link Was Still Ths Same. Here's A Screenshot Of The Last error:
I don't see an error anywhere
it's just showing the browser
so you need to log in to your google account somewhere apparently
but as mentioned before, this has nothing to do with StreamElements
So Subscribe alerts are basically useless?
not useless but not as we wanted for sure :/
Hello! I was wondering if I could get some help merging my Youtube accound into my Twitch account please? 🙂

Hi everyone, I have weird question - why some of widgets are not working while trying to add with link from DC? (I realised that it happened on accounts made with YT while with TTV is tottaly fine). Is it a bug or it's intended to be like this?
Some widgets are only made for Twitch
I understand that but they are working as well for YT so thats why im diggin that topic 😄
Hi! I am new to Streamelements and have linked my YT channel, when I emulate the alerts they work perfect and was able to set it all up. When I am streaming and someone subs (I have not had anything else happen) it does not actually come through. Any help please, thank you!
as i said, not as we wanted, its not a issue in SE end's, youtube made that way.
@amber galleon check pinned msgs.
I see, thank you. I just tested and tried commands using the SE bot but I was not able to get any commands to work. 😦

is it not possible to have simple text alerts on YT via SE?
strange that I can’t just remove the video & maintain a basic text alert.
How can i reward viewers with channel points on youtube?
Also whenever i do !points this is what i get "${user} has ${user.points} points"
YouTube does not have access to the loyalty points system.
oh damn, okay
Hello Everyone myself Mimcaster a part time gamer/youtuber/streamer and i need someone's help regarding stream-elements alerts not showing whenever im live on youtube
would anyone like to help me here sir, ma'am?
Can you see them in the activity 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.
Yes just yesterday a guy subscribed it showed in activity tab
but when im streaming it does not pops up on the live stream
i meant the alerts are not showing up on the stream
see i already linked my youtube channel within stream elements
Exactly. For the reason Maya mentioned until YouTube says "Hey! Here's a new sub" nothing in the activity feed or alerts will trigger.
Were you live at that time?
and the activity feed showed the new sub while live correct?
then its like I said before, YT can have a delay of 4 hours with subs notifications
so is there any fix for this?
no
@hallow osprey let me check something, whats your account id?
and another thing is i have 126 subs on youtube and DASHBOARD ONLY shows me 1 sub on streamelement

the youtube one or stream element one?

@hallow osprey YT has also a policy that they only allow us to show a number of weeks of data there for you only see one sub, how ever if you go to the widget data you can see your whole sum of subs https://streamelements.com/dashboard/session

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.

its up to the users privacy settings not yours
No sir im good with enabling it on, will the fix up and show all the alerts on live stream?
just help me here sir, i really need all that pop ups alerts on the stream
im not a sir, and the privacy is related to the users that sub to you not the other way around
SORRY FOR THAT
This one we are talking about aight?
the second option @past beacon ?
that will affect your subscriptions to other channels
yeah i got that as you explained it to me
that might fix all the alerts issues im facing with StreamElements?
it might not affect your alerts
its YT policy.
no worries 🙂
thanks for helping me here @past beacon
anytime
is there any way to show my screen on yt like an app or somethin cause ive got to stream soon so i dont dissaapoint my viewer(s)
what do you mean like an app?
an app to share my screen and block the notifications basically
Can you clarify on which notification are you planning to block?
all notifications i dont want people seeing some personal info y'know it can get me reconized a ;pt if one of them actually goes viral soon enough
sorry for making you help out this late though appreciate it
Are referring to chat? because notifications for example shown on activity feed only shows followers ,subs, tip .etc
basically also i get notifactions for discord sometimes and yt too
Have you connected to streamelements with your YT account?

thanks for the help (i also

hey having a bit of an issue with the bot integration with youtube... it just doesnt seem to want to connect
if someone could give me a helping hand that would be awesome
Are you doing public streams?
yup... im wondering if it something to do with streaming on both youtube and twitch ( not at the same time although)
can you check it in non public streams ? does the bot only join the chat when you go live ? sorry im so used to how the twitch one works bit of noob 😛
Only public.
hmmm i guess i will have to check next time i go live 😮
its weird even the chat window / activity feed etc wont connect on obs.live
its still on my twitch one even when the twitch one isnt logged in anymore
Hey, I need some help. Usually when i stream for some reason streamelements doesnt work for me. channels with subs public sub to me and it doesnt show up the screen nor the activity feed if i check it out later. do i have to be logged into streamelements when i stream. and no my alerts are not hidden in obs
Check the pinned messages
hey there... is anyone willing/capable of creating simple text Alerts for YT streaming using a custom font in SE?
nothing extremely complex, but the SE platform, as great as it is, seemingly requires Jedi-level CSS knowledge to allow custom fonts (not Google fonts).
if you're interested, please hit me up 👍
Can I add the bot to YouTube live chat.
@vital kraken To set up the bot for your YouTube stream, please follow these steps:
- Make sure your stream is public. The bot cannot join a private/unlisted stream.
- Your stream must be live for the bot to join the chat.
- Go to https://studio.youtube.com/, click on Settings > Community and add https://youtube.com/c/streamelements or https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjerlCIbLPQwSnYlClkjDXg as a Moderator.
- When live, be sure to look at Live chat instead of Top chat, as Top chat will hide the bot messages.

Hello I really need some help.. I have tried almost every thing but i am unable to get new subscriber alerts on you tube live stream anymore
so does it mean there is no solution to this?
correct
is anyone here capable of making custom Alerts for YT?
Hey guys! Where can I ask about the bot commands? I'm trying to make one that links my discord so I don't have to do it manually all the time.
You should be able to make a timer that automatically shares a link, and that can be done here: https://streamelements.com/dashboard/bot-commands/custom-commands
Actually, I don't see any way to do this. Cant find anything about timers. Could that be another one of those 'twitch only' features?
Nevermind
I found it 
Sorry! I linked the wrong page for the timers aha
I was being blind sorry haha
Streamelements says i'm offline when i'm live on youtube. I reset my stream key, logout, login, restart the Pc and still don't works
Ok, thx
I changed my name on YT but my uptime, donate command, and streamelements account still has my old name when used. How do I change this? I tried parting the channel and also logging out and logging back in. It now says the new name on the website but the “owner” is still my old name
The owner can be changed manually, but usually this is not needed - this is only internal on StreamElements and not visible to public.
This needs to go to our developers for a manual fix.
We can do that, only if you need to change this - like i said, this is just visual and does not impact any features.

Ok, let me make a task for developers. Can take several business days to change it.
hi there.... setting up new basic Alerts in SE for YT streaming....
I've removed the stock Alert video animation, yet it continues to remain.
1) How do I remove the Video animation entirely & permanently?
2) I want to change the Font used to a Custom Font on my PC (not a Google Font) - how do I do so?
@crimson lotus Google Fonts
More than 900 google fonts are supported at this time. You can preview them here: https://fonts.google.com/
Custom Fonts
Steps:
- Install the font on the streaming PC or choose a pre-installed windows font.
- In the overlay widget settings, select Text Settings
- Click on Enable Custom Font
- Type the name of the font as it appears in the windows font directory (This is usually
C:\Windows\Fonts)
Note: After installing fonts, the browser and OBS must be restarted for the font to appear.
@shy quail - the Enable Custom Font option is not present at all... as shown in image above
Disable custom css option.
thank you!
How to force the Alert text to be set to All Caps? @shy quail
Use the text settings.
How can I delete a YouTube Channel from my StreamElements-Account?
@dull scaffold 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.
It´s a 1 owner-type Youtube-Account.
Why do you want to delete your account? Any chance we can assist you with anything?
You can delete the account here: https://streamelements.com/dashboard/account/security
I don´t want to delete my hole Streamelements-Account. I have a Streamelements-Account witch a Twitch-Channel and a YouTube-Channel. I will only remove my YouTube-Account from it.
Please read what the bot posted above.
There is no easy way to unlink 2 owner-type accounts from each other.
Can I save my Overlays before I delete my Account?
You can try to transfer them to another account, but I am not sure about the assets.
Ok
is it possible to create a YT Donation Goal Widget which counts BOTH superchats & traditional SE donations? @shy quail
No. Superchats, members and tips are separated. Not sure about Youtube, on Twitch it is not allowed to combine cheers with real money tips.
What do you mean by different device? The overlays are browser sources, so as long as you can add them to OBS they should work.
i mean by ps4 or will it only work by browser
overlays don't work on consoles, only from pc
@outer vault Consoles do not have native support for overlays. You would need a capture card, PS4 remote play or Xbox companion app and a PC with OBS in order to have overlays over your console gameplay.
We have a blog post about how to set up console streaming with our essential tools: https://blog.streamelements.com/how-to-stream-on-console-7b620b1c46c3
@eager lily is there a way to combine the superchat and tips (through the tipping page) into one widget so that regardless of where someone donates, it all gets added together on stream into one?
No - superchats are separate event from tips and cannot be combined
Hello, On my streamelements dashboard my channel information is not showing up. I am also not getting any information on my activity feed.
Check your email, as I just answered you there
On my OBS.Live, my widgets glitch out and it only shows about quarter of it
@cyan oyster 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
What do you mean half? You need to make sure your resolution for the browser source matches the resolution of the overlay. And then adjust the size of the widget in the preview.
I already fixed it

Hello! I've noticed my subscriber widget doesn't update in real-time... Is there a way to achieve real-time updates?
YouTube alerts have a delay, should be some info in the pinned messages.
Does the widget update count as an alert? 🤔
I think the issue is that the event itself is delayed, so anything that would respond to it is also delayed.
Ohhh! Okay. That makes sense. Thank you for your help! ... Separate question - Should the subscription goal progress in widget data be the same as total subscribers an, if so, would the session data for new subscribers automatically update the goal progress and total? (I hope that makes sense! 🤣)
and*
If I understand that correctly, the goal should update with new subscribers. But you can also manually edit totals and goals through the dashboard if you are looking for something in particular.
Awesome! Thank you so much 🙂
i need help setting up a overlay with obs i need help
I need help pleaseeeeee
I want to terminate my streamelents account so I can get a new donation link and stuff but I cant untill I delete the account so please tell me
Hi is there a way to add a custom browser dock with the activity feed for youtube in obs? Because when I do it I can only login with twitch and not with YouTube. I know I can use OBS.live but I want to do it with a custom browser dock.
Hi, where are the Timers settings?
Is it legal to change your location so the monetization feature is going to be available for you?
What do you mean? 
for example: you live in a country where monetisation is disabled but you want to enable it, so you just change your location to a country where monetisation works. @main vector
🤔
Still no idea what you mean.
Still don't know what you mean by monetisation.
It is illegal and won't work, because you need to give your address and copy of your ID
So you can try, but it won't help
Guys i wanna see alerts on my youtube Chanel when i get sub or donationen does it work of i dont have a pc
@fresh relic Consoles do not have native support for overlays. You would need a capture card, PS4 remote play or Xbox companion app and a PC with OBS in order to have overlays over your console gameplay.

My "session data" shows "all time" data and never resets. Like if I want to show donations per session, it shows all time donation amount and even when i try to reset session data, it doesn't change
I tried google to resolve the issue but I just kept getting a mountain of unrelated articles and pages. sorry
i found a way to manually reset session data nevermind
Hey, is there a reason that my member alerts dont show in my feed or my actual alerts dont pop?
@frozen juniper your account was successfully closed
Hello, I'm trying to close my youtube stream elements account so i can consolidate it with my streamlabs twitch account. It keeps saying invalid email, however I have ensured it is the correct email several times
issue is,, no email is listed in my settings.
@lusty spire please email support@streamelements.com with the same information as the form
Does anyone know why my tip event doesn't seem to populate any data?
I tried resetting my session and everything but the session top tip just doesn't do anything. My alert emulates but the data doesn't populate.
In fact session top tip isn't working on any of my overlays for any channel (YT, Twitch, Facebook).
hello my se.pay isn't enabled, can someone enable it?
Having a really hard time getting ANY alerts to come up. I just moved over from twitch and ive been streaming for a while and I cant figure it out at all. I have everything loaded right and all the info is correct but it never shows up during stream and always updates afterwards. Please help

oddkast
Not that. The numbers and letters.
i cannot add media request
Media request doesnt work on YT @winged quarry
yes
or can i use some other software to do songrequest on youtube
Not something we can really answer.
May I know what font you used to create the Streamelements string? I would like to use this font for my latest tipper.
What do you mean by the Streamelements string?
Is there a special command I can use so I can do the command !watchhours in my YouTubestream
its !watchtime and it doesnt work as well on YT @glass grove
No but there is no command that I can tick that has !watch time on YT I want it in my livestream
Because it's tied to loyalty which isn't available for YouTube.
Ok thx
Hello
I have a problems to unlink one account in Streamelements for link the same account to another
You mean wish to merge accounts?
no problem, Please DM me your account id and JWT of both accounts
I want to link one account with my main account but this is the result...
what software can i use to make cool thumbnails
how can I get my JWT Token
Hi there, I tried to stream to youtube yesterday and my overlay was having issues. Although the chat was properly connected and appearing on the overlay, my subscriber alerts did not show up. How can I resolve this?
There is a delay with those alerts, which could cause them to show up late or not at all.
Is the loyalty system currently in development for Youtube? Is there an ETA for it?
No ETA for that as of now
hey so Im trying to add a total subscriber count in stream elements but it says 109 subs, but I have 111. How can I fix that?
@tight dagger 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.
Why do you hate YouTube streamers so much you won't add loyalty points?
I dont i just wanted to fix somthing
i love streaming on youtube
and I fixed it
so nevermind
I am asking Stream Elements why they hate YouTube streamers so much they wont add loyalty points. It seems like it's been requested for years now and StreamLabs does it without issue.
All good! I literally only joined this discord because I want to switch but I hate that I will have to continue running StreamLabs for loyalty points since Stream Elements just doesnt care about adding it to YouTube
"No ETA" means "No Plans to Implement"
Why should YouTube streamers get the shaft?
You can't use "API restrictions" as an excuse anymore, StreamLabs currently offers Loyalty and StreamLabs sucks lol
I'd also prefer a real answer vs a canned response
dam
i switched because everything was web based and i don't have to have like a separate program open for my alerts and stuff. But I know what your saying
Is the giveaway feature not available for youtube? I can't find it
Correct. It is tied to loyalty which isn't available for YouTube.
is there a similar and good alternative you'd recommend?
Unfortunately no.
the youtube bot doesn't seem to be working for me
got custom commands, modules enabled etc
@worldly basin 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.
I'll give it a shot next time ty
@somber dust It's not available for YouTube though.
true
oh ok thats why it gives me an error when i click on the link

Hi
Are the API issues with YouTube fixed yet?
I cannot get the sub overlay to work well
Read pinned messages.
where is that? 🙂 Im a discord noob
Its nice I got completely ignored.
You are not ignored, and it isn't that they don't want to make it, it's that it doesn't work with the systems
what is link to download streamelements ?(sorry for my english i am brazilian)
our plugin can be downloaded here: https://streamelements.com/obslive
thank you very mutch
What happen if I tell people to unsubscribe and dislike the video on YouTube
your own video? why would you do that?
I also hate sitting in school
Hi there, is there anyway of getting SE chatbot to work with an unlisted stream? I only want to use the timer to post a message every 15 minutes
I do not think that is possible no
Any suggestion for anything else thats capable of doing it? No worries if not, dealing with a client that asked for "clickable links" on a stream
💩
So StreamLabs does it for YouTube, saying it doesnt work with the system is just a flat out lie
It doesn't work with StreamElements system
It appears I have tricked it into working anyway
you want to build a whole new system? then go ahead
by listing the stream, letting SE connect then unlisting the stream again
Re the issue being about SE its actually related to the way Youtube works, doesn't seem to be any chatbots that work because the url isnt exposed through the channel when unlisted. May end up building something myself which just lets you put in a URL however
So tell me how Streamlabs makes it work without an issue
but you guys arent smart enough to figure it out or just dont care at all
Hey so my latest subscriber widget is not showing e my latest subscriber. a little context, I just finished a stream and I gained 3 new subs and for some reason the widget didnt update. It was just stuck to one name the whole stream. I resat the session data so it would be blank and now its not showing the latest subscriber. Can someone plz help a bratha out
Hey, I'm messing around with the chat commands and I was wondering if there's any way to trigger a long command using a command. For example, have the !remove command typed by a moderator in my chat, and it would run a command such as !command remove !randomcommand. Is this possible in any way?
Here's a more concrete example: My goal is to be able to open and close my in-game party to my stream viewers. If I have room for people to join, I'd run !open in my chat (or a mod would) and it would edit an existing !join command to respond with "${user} wants to join the party!". Then, when the party gets full, a mod or myself would run !close which would edit the !join command to respond instead with "Sorry ${user}, the party is currently full."
I can successfully do this using Nightbot, the problem with it is the cooldown delay. It's minimum 5 seconds globally, so when two people try to !join at the same time, only one gets a response. SE bot however has the option to have 0 global cooldown delay, and I've tested it, and even with 5 people simultaneously typing !join, all of them got an answer from SE.
Now I just need that method to be able to easily edit !join's response using another command.
Anyone have an issue with the chatbot? ive added streamelements as a mod and still nothing?!
SL uses a different API provided by Youtube. I can vouch that the API we try to use relies explicitly on the stream being PUBLIC and also people who subscribe having their subscription list set to PUBLIC as well. If Youtube enforces a privacy rule, we cannot go around it.
How SL does it, is their own business and I can assure you that Youtube forced some things us to change, like how we keep data as well.
Check pinned message
The bot cannot edit or trigger its own commands via a command that you've used.
That being said, we don't have a queue system for YT as well and the only queue system I can think of, works for Twitch to my knowledge. https://thefyrewire.com/docs/api/twitch/queue/

Chat widget isnt working properly on a scheduled stream
As in the overlay chat widget
please clarify what you mean by not working?
like chat messages simply does not appear
I think I might just have something set up wrong
they appear on the overlay editor
ok nevermind that it just fixed itself 🤔
My channel is on youtube and ground control shows twitch logo and redirects to random twitch channel.
That is sort of what is suppose to be. Since we do not plan on updating Ground Control as its an old software, we recommend using OBS>Live.
MR is not supported on Youtube accounts.
Okay, thanks!
So is there something special I have to do to get the top tip labels to work? They never seem to work for me.
Other labels work? If so, it's probably the widget settings.
@true rampart 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.
I think I figured it out. I guess the tip labels won't work with emulated events. You actually need real data. :/

Good morning, I'm looking for help with the stream chat layer when creating an overlay. My account id is 6048f07fc3144a6a47447a1f
how may we help?
I have personalized some of the overlays that are available on your homepage and added a chat-box to them. Up to yesterday, they were working just fine. But as of my stream last night they just stay empty, despite chat happening, as I can see in the regular YT chatwindow. I'm not sure how to get it back to work. I've tried logging out and back in both on the homepage and within OBS
I have also tried to create a new overlay that just contains a chatbox, thinking that maybe creating a new one solves the issue, but it didn't
do the rest of the widgets work fine?
Unfortunately I don't have any other widgets active so I cannot say.
looking at the different tabs in my account I can see that I'm not connected to Tiltify in the integrations tab. Is that what's causing the issue maybe?
Nope, that has nothing to do with that
let me check something
are you using OBS.Live or anything of the sort?
like Ground Control?
I think I'm using obs.live
