how can I confirm this? I downloaded the obs.live installer, but in the app in the header it just says OBS 26.1.1
do you have StreamElements tools in your obs?
yes, it's the last tab after help
good stuff
let's start by logging out of both obs.live and then website
then log back into both
and see if that helps
ok
enabled
much appreciated
still nothing
can you screen shot your scenes and sources set up?
is the stream public?
I've set it to private to not confuse the few subscribers I have π
I don't think we'll be able to pick up chat activity from a private stream, that's a known issue
ok, I'll try switching to public and see if it makes a difference. (Yesterday when the issue first occured, it was public)
still no text showing up
are these the screenshots you need?
just wanted to check something.
anyways, I appreciate the effort, I need to go to work now unfortunately, I'll follow up later when I get back. Sorry for wasting your time π
no time wasted, when you've got time, we'll certainly want another crack at it
thank you! Much appreciated
Hey all... just getting started. Stream Elements is looking awesome
I activated the Chat Bot and attempted a custom command
I typed !uptime
and on my Youtube chat it said
I'll keep working on it but any tips would be great thx
Is your stream public?
Bro
No
haha cool
Maybe want to catch up on the server rules :P
that's why I asked
The only reason I even asked was because I was asked if the stream was public.... to help debug the issue I asked if I should paste the link incase it would help to see the messages and debug the problem. Alternatively I will try to solve it myself and use something else if I can't π
Your channel is linked so that's not necessary.
... yet the issue remains...
i csnt close my account
Do you want to close it so you can link it to another account? @vast lion
If yes, then there is a faster way
Account Merging - Please note:
- Merging accounts only allows faster ways to switch between accounts
- Merging accounts does not allow data sharing between accounts - different streaming platforms, different type of events
- Merging accounts allows duplicating/sharing overlays between the accounts
If you understand the limitations of merging and want to proceed, please find the JWT tokens (!jwt) from both accounts you want to merge and you will be directed to DM them to a staff member
You can find your JWT token on your account channels page (Show Secrets to reveal the token): https://streamelements.com/dashboard/account/channels
READ ME: This is a private security token. Do NOT share this token here or other public places, only with a StreamElements staff member in private.
If you want that then you can DM both of the JWT tokens to @versed tangle and he can merge the accounts for you @@vast lion

I did not understand everything for what I should do
Done

Hello. I need some help.
I'm trying to close the account linked with my YouTube but I can't close it as it appears I have no email linked to it: https://gyazo.com/82f74ed6874a2019794fefe4bd103608
I need to close it or unlink my YouTube so I can create or link it to a new account. Please help π
@tall sun ?
Anyone can help?
Good afternoon - I'm back from work for round two π
I was trying to figure out why my stream chat layer suddenly stopped working.
Ive been reading a lot here. The issue I have is that I cannot see my alerts on stream, but they work when I test them. Really not sure what to do? Also the Activity doesnt show up on Obs.live. Thank you.
Hello. I live stream games on Youtube and I cannot find loyalty settings on StreamElements. Please help.
Here's the screenshot. I can't find the loyalty system settings. Where is it?
There is not a loyalty setting for YouTube.
the stream chat still doesn't work?
Its been fixed for a few months
it's not working for me, i mean the chat box you can put on your stream
Is your stream public?
@versed tangle good morning - oddly enough chat seems to be working today, without even being online with the stream yet. I can only assume what caused the issue is that I had multiple streams scheduled that all use the same streamkey.
@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.
Then explain the first screenshot
I have my youtube stream settings set to public
The stream that I just caught you having on was unlisted and the only way i saw it was via Discord
I'm trying to go back to the stream
and its no longer available because i assume you ended it
15 to 30 minutes?
Yes
I just had a 2 hour stream but at the end the bot still wasn't working
it was public I know, because I had random people join me
Only once
jeez how did I overlook such a major thing
prolly should add that step to the guide for idiots like me lol
ty so much
also, any idea how long it'll be until the API thing will be fixed? with sub notifications?
it's not on StreamElements right? so you guys prolly don't know
there is nothing to fix here for the delay in new subscribers
its an intended behavior from Youtube
Hey anyone knows when the loyalty system is coming to YouTube ??
I really want it badly.
No plans to introduce loyalty to YT, due to API restrictions from them.
How Streamlabs offers loyalty points is different then how we would prefer and like to implement it
because the way we want is not present, we have not added the same system that is on Twitch, to be active on Youtube
because of said API restrictions
cool then.
It seems like Youtube is making it harder and harder for third party providers to do anything these days.
@lime walrus Are Youtube going to make it possible, or have they just shut the door? Or maybe they're working on a similar system themselves?
I don't know the answer to any of those questions
Those more seem like questions for Youtube directly
Found the answer I was looking for en these posts rights here π searching for if Streamelements was any closer to a Loyalty system for Youtube π
We are not any closer, because we don't have it planned at this point. We were looking into implementing but we stopped pushing Youtube to open up the APIs
Would they open the doors? Only they know.
Are they working on similar system? only they know
Any reason why during live stream the chat dock isn't signed in? If I try to sign in, I get an error "this browser is not safe/supported" so I can't have the chat dock.
@lime walrus
hello! I added My YT channel in streamelements a few days ago, but now I've changed the name of the channel on YT and I dont know how to change it in streamelements too. Pls, help!
Anyone that had same problem?
Hey I was just wondering if anyone could help me be more efficient? I am trying to be a VTuber but currently I have no pc so Iβm having to do it all on mobile and iPad and it makes it difficult, I know I need a pc but if you have any tips that could help make using mobile easier until I can get a pc that would be amazing
@narrow moss Please logout of StreamElements at https://streamelements.com/logout and then login again to your account (Twitch/YouTube/Facebook).
How do you uninstall OBS live, I cant find the file anywhere
You should be able to uninstall this as you would a normal program
@sharp berry not possible. It's not available for YouTube.
Never existed.
If anything it's a bug.
But in short not possible.
No way around it.
Twitch yes. Not YouTube.

Should be all set
Hello, I don't think this is related to obs/streamelements, but if someone can help me please! My Tipeee doesn't react to anything happening on youtube. Simulated alerts do trigger, but the tracking of followers, subs etc. doesn't work, ergo no alerts get triggered(when not simulated). You could say Tipeee is blind at the moment and doesn't see what happens on Youtube. Logically I'd try to un- and relink Youtube and Tipeee, but I have no idea how to do so, but I refreshed all chaches+ verified if the link from browser source is correct. Moreover, is it okey if when I open the "Alert box v2" widget link to not have a green screen background?(Like the one to the chat). Also, I can't reload alerts from the mini activity feed from StreamElements, the one that is implemented in OBS( they will not appear). Any advice what the problem might be?
If you are having issues with Tipeestream, you will have to ask their support
That being said
every platform is affected by this: 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.
Thank you!
Hello, I need help.
@delicate basalt 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.
Alright.
So i am using OBS Studios to livestream on yt and i watched a couple of tutorials on how to use a stream elements overlay subscriber count
I put it into OBS and it works but the sub count doesn't update.
that is probably due to this:
Does somebody have to subscribe to me live on stream?
And their account needs to be set to public as well or it won't show at all
Yeah that is the way YouTube thinks it's best
Could you explain that more?
It's really shitty
Users can choose to make the channels that they subscribe to public or private. By default, all settings are set to private.
Private: When a user's subscriptions are set to private, no other user can see what channels they subscribe to. A user's account does not show in a channel's Subscribers List, even if they are subscribed.
Public: When users subscriptions are set to public, another user can see what channels they subscribe to. User subscriptions are listed on their channel page and their account is listed in the Subscribers List for any channel they subscribe to.
If a user has it set to Private they will not show up in the activity feed. More info: https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/7280190
this ^^
Oh i get what you mean.
is it also the same for the alerts where i don't recieve them?
yes, if StreamElements doesn't get the sub signal from youtube it can't show the alert
youtube really killed sub alerts
Sure π
Is the Stream Elements bot supposed to actually talk in my stream?
Only if your channel is live and set to public
I see
so if i am live and i say a command like "!commands"
it will reply?
because i use night bot and it's pretty reliable
It should reply yes
No problem π

Wait, one more thing.

In order for the Stream Elements bot to join my livestream
i have to go to the dashboard?
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.
and press join stream?
yes

how do i disconnect an account?
Are you trying to close/delete an account?
So you can close accounts, but closing one closes all accounts connected to it
i just want to disconnect a youtube account
Is it connected to other accounts you want open?
So you won't be able to close the youtube one without closing the twitch one with it
You can do that here: https://streamelements.com/dashboard/account/security
where am i supposed to find my username at if i signed in with twitch or youtube?
can somebody help? Urgent question. My stream disconnects from Youtube, here is the log file https://obsproject.com/logs/GBvPI97WkIBYOf9q
It just stops sending data, why is that?
Hi, quick question, if I integrate StreamElements with my OBS will I then be able to stream to both YouTube and Facebook simultaneously?
no
TRYING TO ADD ALL MY CHANNELS TOGETHER BUT ITS SAYING MY TWITCH CHANNEL IS ALREADY CLAIMED
Hello folks. I finished streaming just now, but I couldn't use the chat feature in OBS because I had to log in, and Google prevented it because the browser was "insecure".
Question about alerts: I have 3 donation alerts 0-49, 50-99, 100+. I want different things to happen on screen for each.
- If I use the same alert box I can use variations to achieve my goal BUT each alert needs to be a different size. So if I use 1 alert box with variations, I need to know how to resize the box for each individual variation.
if that's not possible:
- I can use multiple alert boxes but I need to know how to set a MAX range on donation alerts. I see how to set 'AT LEAST" on donation amounts, but I don't know how to tell an alert box to do nothing if a donation is over a certain amount. When a $50 donation hits, I don't want the 0-49 alert going off too.
Hey I stream on YouTube how could I look at my live viewer count on OBS Live?
there's no way to do this natively atm
Hi, trying to use revenue history for a user's channel i manage and when clicking it, it takes me to the streamelements homepage to login.
only full control access has access to tipping
i have full control access, which is what was confusing me
is stream elements working on fb ??
I have started streaming and have everything setup for twitch and the chat and activity feed through streamelements work but when i try to stream on facebook the chat and activity doesnt switch over to my youtube stream, it stays on twitch even though im not streaming on twitch, i cant figure out why that is, any help is appreciated!
StreamElements menu, on top of OBS > Logout > Login
Thank you Bot!!!! your a lifesaver!
Hi
I came across stream elements this week while searching for chatbots to add to my stream and signed up and connected my YouTube account to it and added the bot but when I go to the moderators list and paste the URL of stream elements it says no users found
I tried to add it to twitch and it works

Shouldn't I be adding the link that shows up when I click get link in the stream elements website?
The links in this message does show stream elements when I paste it in the moderators list
Anyone??
Oh ok
I'm just concerned about security
Should I continue with the link in the above message? @versed tangle
Yes

Thanks for the help π
getting this error after connecting to yt and starting stream
has it worked before? Also have you added OBS to the firewall permissions?
No I didn't stream before
ok, try opening the obs as admin but also check your firewall (if havent installed any look for windows firewall) and see if obs is listed there just incase
I didn't install any firewall
Just a sec I'll check it
@past beacon could you guide me through the process
Or link the guide ?
Idk how to do it
When you have a firewall active on your Windows 10 laptop, you can allow certain programs to communicate through that firewall. For example, you might want to allow live apps such as Weather or Video to send information or content to your computer. In the Start menu click Settings, and then enter Firewall in the [β¦]
Thanks ππ»
@past beacon hey
The obs doesn't show up in the list so I clicked allow another app
So no I select the stream elements obs right ?
open it as admin and try login in with your YT account
After adding it right ? @past beacon
ye
Okππ»
I'm already logged in
Is a system restart needed to apply the firewall settings ?
you dont need to restart the sys
then i recommend you should try contacting OBS

Hello, I am trying to unlink my YouTube account so that I can merge it with my Twitch account on SE. Can anyone assist?
@versed tangle you don't need to unlink it, we can merge them for you
@versed tangle Account Merging - Please note:
- Merging accounts only allows faster ways to switch between accounts
- Merging accounts does not allow data sharing between accounts - different streaming platforms, different type of events
- Merging accounts allows duplicating/sharing overlays between the accounts
If you understand the limitations of merging and want to proceed, please find the JWT tokens (!jwt) from both accounts you want to merge and you will be directed to DM them to a staff member
Excellent yes, that is what I would like π
DM me those tokens and i'll help you
Thank you very much
Yo guys. I am new here but can anyone help me with the bot commands
@lost pagoda Welcome to the helpdesk! Please let us know how we can assist you today and a support volunteer or staff member will assist you as soon as they are available. Thank you for your patience.
I would like to add a list command to add there username to a list. Is this possible or do I need a 3rd party software. Thanks for the help.
We have one for twitch, i'm not sure if you can duplicate it on YT #widget-share message
I have a question if someone donates via PayPal, for example, do I have to pay taxes on the donations myself or are there any costs for me?
@versed tangle Please ask your question in one helpdesk channel only. A support volunteer or StreamElements staff member will assist you as soon as they are available. Asking in multiple places will only result in confusion, not faster answers. Thank you for your patience.
Hi, I hope I'm in the right place. I'm setting up a new overaly for streaming to youtube and for some reason I cannot find labels for members. I can add them for subscribers and superchats, but not members. The options is just not there. Is this normal?
@plucky bear iirc its under sponsors
tyvm!!!
Not sure if this is the right channel, but here's the problem I'm having.... I'm experiencing an error on my Stream Elements account that when I try and duplicate overlays or import them from one of my channels to another, it gets stuck in an infinite loading wheel and never actually completes the duplication. I'm experiencing the problem across multiple browsers... Any help on a fix would be greatly appreciated!
@heady pier 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.
It's showing a separate account ID for each of my platforms. I'm not sure if there's a specific one you need or not. Here's one of them: 5f9b9f7dabecf9620b17abf0
whats the overlay you're trying to duplicate?
At this point, any of them. I've tried it with multiple different ones across the different platforms, and I encounter the same problem each time no matter which I pick. It used to work perfectly without any issue, but it randomly started happening about a month ago or so
I just tried importing an overlay from SLOBS through OBS.Live to test if that was working, and that is also giving me a "Failed to import" error, which is wasn't before. Not sure if that's related to the same cause as my problem with being unable to duplicate overlays, or a whole other issue entirely...
@heady pier I think the duplicate action was failing because the overlay didn't have a game in their properties, I tried with your just chatting overlay from twitch to youtube and now it works
Awesome. Thank you so much for your help!
Hi. I tried to add emotes (kappagen) to youtube but there isn't any available emotes. I guess emotes aren't available for Youtube?
hey im trying to change text in the streamelements overlay editor and for some reason it wont let me
I assume this is what you wanna do #helpdesk-twitch message
im trying to use one of the premade overlays and the text box is stuck saying "your name here" and im trying to change that
Click my link then.
goated my friend. i clicked it and i think i scrolled straight past the video so thats my bad
Any reason why during live stream the chat dock isn't signed in? If I try to sign in, I get an error "this browser is not safe/supported" so I can't have the chat dock.
Update OBS.Live
To be honest, not sure. I just downloaded OBS.Live from the website again and reinstalled so it's now on the same as yours.
I'll give it a shot and update you @lime walrus
Also, a different question - I'm pretty sure this one isn't related to StreamElements but YouTube API, but the subscribers do not show anymore in the activity feed. I mean, it doesn't update but then a few hours later boom 50 new subscribers show.
Check pinned message
also if you are on the same obs.live version, make sure your obs studio is also 26.1.1
OBS is indeed 26.1.1, thank you.
@lean shadow check transaction tab -> click transaction -> if payment method is paysafecard -> pending period can last from 16 up to 21 days
I dont see option to check if it's paysafecard I only see that it's SE.Pay
I see now, thanks.
Hello, I use Streamelements for donations on Youtube. Is it normal that people can only donate using PayPal? Because I don't find any options where I can add the rest.
@mystic tinsel SE.PAY is available for streamers who are at least 18 years old, with bank account under their name in one of the following countries and have at least 101 follower (Twitch) / 101 subscribers (YouTube):

Yes I can see it. Thank you! π
Im in the uk but have over 100 subs, why cant i access SE.Pay?
youtube sometimes fails to detect the subscriber count needed for it. can you provide us your account ID so we can enable this for you manually?
sure, is the id the hyper link thing, i just want to give the right information
UC1NVM5FYOTXsChMte-RXuFw

I got donated via SEPAY but it was not added to Pending Balance. How long will it take to update this?
Can you check your tip history for that tip and make sure it is done via SE.Pay?
Should show up as pending pretty much instantly
Yes this is Sepay. A donor is shown, but this donation is not on the Pending Balance list
Then give it some time, depending on the payment method there might be a delay.
visastandarddebit
If you give me your account ID, i could check.
The account ID is here:
https://streamelements.com/dashboard/account/channels
And please give me the amount aswell, so i can find it.

I see there is an internal error with displaying current transactions. Please give it some time, might be a delay involved
Ok thanks for your help
is there a way to pull data from multiple channels (ie Twitch and YouTube) into one overlay?
nope
That's what it seemed like, but wasn't sure...thx @sage lantern
So when my stream tries to donate to me through streamelements it says "seller restriction" is anyone else having that problem or know how to fix it?
@lapis cloud you need to check your paypal account
@tardy cloud what would be the problem specifically? Sorry for the questions :]
unfortunately that's the whole response "seller restriction" you may need to call paypal support about it
ok thank you!
thanks
what do u use to rec ur cam and desktop and computer audio i cant find one thanks
Hi, so im currently streaming and notifications are not popping up when someone subscribes to my channel, i have the overlays saved properly i believe any ideas?
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.
oooooh, well thats smart for their buisness but that sucks big time!!! thank you for the quick reply
np π
Hi, I had an offline donation flagged from my Twitch link. I'm about to enable tipping on the youtube side, can I expect the same issues when people donate offline on my YouTube as well?
If it's via SE.Pay yes. Those require you to be live to receive them without issue.
There's still other possibilities it'll be flagged but being online while receiving it is the only firm requirement.
Thank you for the information
Can someone please help me with the chatbot for YouTube? I've tried everything and I can't get it to work for the life of me
@analog bough 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 have done all of those things, and it doesn't work
The commands don't work, the timers don't trigger, nothing
@analog bough Go to the Dashboard > Right side > Part channel > Join channel(https://streamelements.com/dashboard)
Make sure your stream is public

Seriously? So you need to hope that people click live chat instead of top chat to see the bot messages? That's brutal, no one's going to do that
UGGH damn you YouTube! I assume there's no way around this y'all have found?
And the bot can't send clickable links?
No and I'd like to hope nobody does as that's a security risk.
need help

Hello, my news subs did not show in my activity feed and they did not get the alert on stream?
Check the pinned messages
I checked out Mercury thinking it would let me edit and cut/split videos into new videos.
It doesn't do that at all, so does anyone know something that does?
I need it to be done completely online,
as my internet's too slow for uploading hd video in what I consider to be a reasonable amount of time.
wouldn't be needed as much if Twitch's "auto split to 15 minute segments" feature on exporting to youtube actually worked.
Is there any way to set up some kind of Loyalty Points / Currency for my YouTube Live streams through StreamElements? I'm pretty sure the Twitch side of stream elements has this functionality, but after a lot of googling and searching in vain I can't find it on the YouTube side.
there is no loyalty for YouTube
Is there any particular reason why, or do you know if they plan on adding it in the future?
I'd just really rather not have to use Stream Labs for anything if I can help it.
Ah, I see. Same reason the Sub alerts aren't consistent at all iirc.
I think I'd rather do without stream loyalty points than use Stream Labs. But I think they should reconsider getting loyalty points working on Youtube. I get asked for them a lot in the chat. Thanks for the help Daniii_
My youtube activity feed doesn't show when someone becomes a subscriber, is there a problem?

I'm looking for a subathon style timer that would work with YouTube for superchats, I've looked everywhere and I've yet to find one. Does something like this exist?
i need help to make a Banner image

My alertbox are not working at all, whenever i simulate a test its working perfectly fine but when i start streaming, donations or subscribers are not working and its getting frustrating, how to fix this???

Hey folks, quick question for you all, when I set a member/sub goal it seems to choose a random number? For example I have 52K Subs, but the /60,000 value is like 700?
likewise with channel members, I have over 100, but it says 7
Has anyone had an issue with youtube stats just not showing up in stream elements?
I've gained a few subs but stream elements doesn't show anything from my yt channel for the last few months.
So there are delays on YouTube end that delay/prevent alerts and events from reaching us. Also, depending on when you added SE it YouTube, it might not pull every event
interesting, it's literally showing no activity though so I wonder if there is any solution then XD
By their design, there isn't much we can do for the alerts/events
it's funny as I mention it and refresh the dash I see one update XD
makes sense. I figured it was more a youtube issue than streamelements just because yt does odd things anyway lol
Right aha. They may come in delayed like that one, or just not at all. No real way to tell
Hmm not sure if I should even fool with it at that point then. I'm using restream.io to multi-stream but if the alerts on youtube aren't even real-time there is little benefit imo...interesting. Thanks for the info.
@gilded wharf 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
So I'm finally able to stream to YouTube using streamelements
But after I start the stream the chat box appears on the right side but it won't let me chat without signing in to YouTube
How do I sign in to YouTube from stream elements without starting my stream
@gilded wharf StreamElements menu, on top of OBS > Logout > Login
can someone help me because my alert box on youtube doesn't work ... i tried everything ... logout/login, i also tried to copy one more time my url alert box but still 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.
Everything else beyond subs works fine
I can confirm that
Any chance anybody could answer my previous query?
Hey folks, quick question for you all, when I set a member/sub goal it seems to choose a random number? For example I have 52K Subs, but the /60,000 value is like 700?
which overlay?
When I select the subscriber or sponsor goal overlays, the data it draws seems to be random
It says I have 5 members, 20K subs π
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.
Hi, I got an overlay from Nerd or Die and emported to my overlays and the chat widget isn't working, is that a Nerd or Die or a Stream Elements side of thing?
@lime walrus I tried, still doesn't work.
OBS.Live version 21.3.8.729, OBS version 26.1.1
The only thing i can suggest is,when you go live, just popout the chat window from the stream it self.
That's what I'm doing, but it used to work and It's way more comfortable when it's built-in the OBS
I'm wondering why it happens
I have a question about a YT video idea. Is there a program that you can use to work like the webcam program Facerig but it's free and you can use to make yt video with?
I am having a issue when streaming. This issue only started recently. Basically what happens my bitrate will not go to the amount I set only half and I have 100 mb upload and download but it will not go to the set 5500 bitrate only 2000-3700. Another thing is that I stream to youtube and the bitrate was always fine up till recently.
how do you stop vod audio for soundtrack by twitch from coming up when you open obs

^^^ issue resolved. If anyone else has this problem you just need to go to https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/the-latest-supported-visual-c-downloads-2647da03-1eea-4433-9aff-95f26a218cc0 and download/update whichever C++ visual file you need (it says in the error message). In my case I needed the file circled in this pic. But I had to restart my computer first, download the file, I chose the REPAIR option, then restarted my computer again and it worked fine

Anyone ever encounter a bug like the one in this tweet? https://twitter.com/MagicianJaso/status/1380752448860483585
Anyone ever experience this weird bug while streaming?
The @StreamElements home page randomly popped up as an overlay... I don't have that set as an overlay in any scene, nor do I have a browser or window source set up for it to pull from... π #streaming #twitchstreamer https://t.co/Hx1Gq611PI
A random overlay of the Stream Elements landing page popped up while I was streaming. That overlay doesn't exist in any of my scenes, nor was there any browser or window sources to capture it. I'm at a loss on how it popped up
@heady pier Right click on the BrowserSource > Properties > Scroll down a bit > Refresh cache of current page
Thanks for the quick response! It looks like it fixed itself when I relaunched OBS. I had never seen it do anything like that before so I was confused. Now I know what to do if it ever happens again. Thanks for the help!
I attempted to get the commands to work in my YouTube live chat but it is not working whatsoever. I type in my custom command !fc and it does not send any results.

Hi, how do I connect my Stream elements OBS to a specific scheduled live stream on my youtube channel?
Hi im checking some settings and also the dashboard on streamelements. i connected my twitch and youtube account. I have a few followers on my youtube account, but on my streamelements dashboards it shows 0...any idea why?
Hi I am unable to put loyalty/giveaway since there is not option. Please help me i will be thankful..
there is no loyalty for yt
hey, could someone help me with streamlabels.
i setup two labels, one with recent sub and another with recent superchat.
and i applied scrolling for the superchat one but in OBS it doesn't scroll whereas on streamelements website it does.
anyhelp ?
!!?
@sly lion OBS > Settings > Advanced > Scroll down > Enable or disable Browser Source Hardware Acceleration, depending on its current state > Restart OBS

it is enabled
then disable it
cool
disabled it
but it isn't smooth now.
it goes halfway and then restarts again
it ain't completing it path completely
now i'm getting this
anyhelp ?
That error means that either OBS was running in the background and you started another instance of it, or another program is occupying port 4444. Close all instances of OBS (check with task manager) and open it again. If that doesn't fix it, restart your PC
ok
Can I get some help? I am having issues with the live chat in obs.live when I am streaming on Youtube. The chat appears but to type something in the chat directly from obs it wants me to sign in and no matter what email I use, it wont sign me in. Says the app or browser may be unsupported.
Google is blocking logins from the OBS browser, nothing we can do about it at the moment
Ah, ty
I keep getting failed to connect to server i checked and its got the right server
Does the stream have to be public to test out the chat widget and the bot?
Yes

Hey
Hi everyone. I got this, maybe odd question with easy answer but I need help... π
I've been having my login in webpage connected to my TWITCH account. Now I want to stream through YouTube instead.
Question 1: Do I need to login with my YouTube account on Streamelements Webpage for the "Follower" connections to work?
Question 2: If so, can I "transfer" the Theme I use on the TWITCH login to my YouTube login?
I've been strugling with this for a long period now. I can't find the theme I usually use when I login with YouTube... π
-
you need to log in with Youtube in all our tools including OBS.Live to use it (or it will be linked to Twitch).
-
transferring a theme could work, but platforms are wastly different, so i would suggest picking a new theme or rebuilding the one you like from scratch
Since nothing is compatible between Twitch and YT
@near stag Hi! Thanks for the quick response! amazing! π
The thing is that there isn't that many themes to choose from like it is when I connect with TWITCH and I have been having the same theme for a while.
If I would like to transfer my theme to YouTube login, how can I try that?
And if that doesn't work. Is there a possibility to get hold of the animations so I can rebuild it?
Thanks again. π
Are your accounts linked together?
You can add your account here:
https://streamelements.com/dashboard/account/channels
But only if you have not logged in already with your YT, otherwise we would need to manually link them.
Then you can transfer
But in general animations are different for YT and Twitch - stuff like symbols for superchat etc.
@near stag
Yeah, I have already logged in, sry. π
What do you need to help me out?
Well, I can try it out, since I really love the theme I use. And if it doesn't work later on I can change, if it is ok?

@cursive oyster If you changed your name on Twitch, please follow these steps:
- Visit https://streamelements.com/logout and then log in again by connecting with Twitch.
- On the right side of the dashboard page that opens, select Join under bot settings. If it says Part select that and then select Join to send the bot to the chat. Don't forget to mod the bot by typing /mod streamelements in your channel if you have not already.
- Post your old and your new name here so that we can update your channel's chatstats tracking (must be done by staff).
Thank you!
Can I ask, why is the YouTube activity feed so bad with Stream Elements? It's always breaking
That and the sub count is never accurate
If it doesn't work please just remove it, or find some way to optimise it
hi
As far as I know, the YouTube API either works on a delay or just doesn't send things to the SE activity feed. Not entirely sure what the next steps are, but the dev team is aware of that
Why does the software not show the subs live and only after I close the live does it show me on the screen and on the side?
It's been like it for 6 months
That's valid. I personally don't have the answers for the backend, but it's something I can pose to the teams that deal with it.
If you could that would be amazing
If you're able to do stuff with Mercury and such it feels like there's some capability
i can help?
@lilac scroll Sure thing! I know not having all the proper counts/activity is pretty important, and I know they're constantly trying to improve mercury so that input may give good insight
There is a delay on the live alerts based on YouTubes API design, unfortunately
YouTube did just do a new sub counter in their backend, might be worth looking to see if there's API for that
That's sounds pretty helpful to me, I'll include that in my message. Thanks for the heads up on that!

Hello. Is there any way to enable other tip methods than PayPal account for YouTube stream ? I can't see SE Pay too. Probably because i am not from US.
@dense nymph Is it for the account linked to your discord?
You unfortunately don't meet the requirements
SE.PAY is available for streamers who are at least 18 years old, with bank account under their name in one of the following countries and have at least 101 follower (Twitch) / 101 subscribers (YouTube):
Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland , Italy, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, United Kingdom, United States.
If you meet these criteria and donβt see SE.Pay, let us know.
For information on SE.Pay payment methods, their fees and settlement times see https://streamelements.com/dashboard/tipping/fees
Oh okay now it is clear for me. Cause i saw only the twitch criteria before so i was unsure if i need 101 subs too. Thank you for helping π
It's across all platforms.
@main vector My friend (yt channel link: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_igWivpdNdvT__NSS5dnyw). is trying to enable se pay too but same think happens. He have 300+ subs.
Can you get us his account ID?
From that page:

Finding youtube channels on our system is really tricky due do different channel names
Enabled it for him, let him know - refresh the page please.
Hello everyonne!
I'm having a problem, cannot import overlays from streamlabs into stream elements
can some one guide or help me?
showing this error every time!
Check that you do not import files larger than 30MB, this is our limit
its 3.9 mb only
Check all the files on all imported scenes
can i import the overlay through overlay file?
No. Import only works for scenes in Streamlabs OBS or directly the alertbox via browser extension import
hello, for some reason after a couple of months I'm still being detected as jonenso-8812, though my youtube channel is www.youtube.com/madjon
I'm trying to move out to youtube (this is a second time and I might have to leave Streamelements because of this π¦ )
even the tipping panel is fixed to this: https://streamelements.com/jonenso-8812/tip
why this happens? -_- I just want to use my new handle (which is being used for over a year
Unfortunately your twitch has it.
I can have this special man handle the swapping of links if you want that to be done.
And by special I mean cryonic 
please do so. β€οΈ if possible just make the twitch one like something madjonEXE
if possible of course, would greatly help out
Hi
This can be done manually by our developers
would love that quite a lot, as it was infuriating that no notifications was thrown (nor I was able to edit it
)
Ok, what is the name you would like to have?
youtube.com/madjon - madjon
twitch.tv/madjon - madjonEXE
Let me check first
for sure π
Need the account ID for your youtube channel, please copy it from here:
https://streamelements.com/dashboard/account/channels
here
Ok, i will make a task and developers will swap the aliases in a few business days
thank you πββοΈ
Check in 2-3 days if the links have changed for both profiles
if not, ping us

Hello! I was wondering if stream elements supports channel points for youtube streamers?
no as no such thing exists.
As in no such thing exists on stream elements?
with youtube
ah interesting. I've been using channel points with stream labs on my youtube live stream. I'm wondering this because I'm trying to decided if I should switch to se
we have no such thing for youtube.
ah okay. Thanks for clarifying
is there a way that i can actually talk in the Chat Dock from Stream Elements in OBS?
Everytime I try to, it makes me login and then it tells me the browser is unsupported
I have logged out and logged in multiple times, and that is not the issue
What version of OBS and OBS.live do you have?
OBS 26.1.1 - OBS.Live 21.3.8.729
I cant seem to do two things with YouTube chat. One it wont show up on the overlay. Two, when I try to login on the right side to be able to chat directly from obslive it says that it does not recognize the browser.
I have the same #2 issue.
Hello, Im in the process of moving from twitch to youtube. How do I do that in streamelements so that all my overlays etc is available for youtube?
Hello. I am preparing to switch from Twitch to YouTube for a streaming service. I accidentally claimed my YouTube channel with a new SE account instead of just adding the channel to my existing Twitch account - how can I move ownership of that YouTube channel onto my main, actual SE account?

Heyo! Quick question: I have used streamelements for a while now, but I'm switching my stream over to YouTube and am thus redoing all of my overlays. If I recall correctly, I used to be able to right click a widget and tell it to center horizontally, but now I can't get that to work. Am I missing something? Thanks!
click the widget layer, then position, size and style, then center widget, it will be fully centered but you can take note of the left px number
i meant o come back and say that sk1ll got me covered in the ticket system lol
thanks again, Sk1ll
Wondering if someone can help. I (by accident) setup two SE accounts, I've had one for a while with Twitch, however I am looking to switch to youtube. I went to add accounts in SE and I created the youtube account by mistake, must have been around the same time. I am trying to "Unclaim" my Youtube account so that I can just pickup where I've left off on the Twitch profile. Creating the alert widgets and whatnot will take a lot of time to re-do. Any help is greatly appreciated. Feel free to DM me about this too, if easier.
Thanks a ton!

Can anyone help me fix this issue, since i have installed streamelements it is just showing one subscriber which subcribed me 2 days ago and today i got 4 new subs but it is still showing that guy's name only how can i update it and why it is not working please help me fix it, Also my Alert is also not working
@sand terrace I sent a request to merge the accounts thru "contact us" on the webpage and it was done very shortly.
YouTube alerts/subs are delayed/not being received by SE due to YouTube's API design
So how will alerts works ? on the next stream?
Alerts means i can know who subscribed me isn't it?
but how will i know if it doesn't even works?
Unfortunately, This is the new intended way for receiving events from Youtube by their design.
so there is no use of alerts now?
The alerts still have the potential to play, but there isn't much we can do on our end.

Hi Guys,
I am thinking about moving from twitch to YouTube. Can I still use my same settings as for twitch: scenes, overlays, alerts, etc or are there some changes to be made?
And what are your experiences streaming thru YouTube.
Thanks in advance
You can move your overlays, but not bot settings.
Its different in a way that some times are limited, like no Loyalty points system.
and some specific "issues" - check pinned message
@lime walrus thanks for the info!
stream elements says that i am offline but obs and youtube both show that i am live. wwhat can i do?
Is your stream unlisted/private?
its private. i am test streaming
we do not see private streams
o ok thank you i will try again as public
Hi guys I have a problem with my widget data for my total subscribers. Is there any way to change this or is that fixed?
What exactly is the issue?
it is showing the wrong number (Showing 175, it is 483)

Fixed
Thank you I just saw
Does it only update the total subs while you stream or how does it work because I see that if I gain subs on YT it doesn't update there
Subs on YT are delayed, please check pinned messages. Might be related to it.
thank you
what if...
- YT subs stays 0 even after 2 days?
- all privacy settings are off so all is visible..
and YT stats still doesnt show up on dashboard?
The privacy settings from the users have to be public aswell, not just your settings.
And we get that data from Youtube - what ever we get, is displayed there.
Hey on mercury is there a way to make the automatic donations widget work with the streamelements tipping link instead. So basically have it have the donation widget during live streams

Hi, i just configure streamelement overlays in obs such as alerts, subs count. But when an actual person subscribes to the channel, the alerts are popping up very late. there's delay in alerts. Need support.
check the pinned messages
Aah thats so sad :/. Is there any other way out?
No, because youtube made it like that
Hi! Does the chat widget work on YT? I tried a streaming test 2 or 3 days ago but no chat message was displayed in my SE widget on OBS and the stream.
The YT chat widget currently won't take logins through OBS due to Google policies.
I see. Thanks, TraffyDLaw.
hey so im having issued connecting streamelements activity feed with my youtube channel i used to use stream elements with twitch but now ive switched to youtube but the only option it gives me is to connect with twitch and says "session expired please connect" and it doesnt give the option for yt
Is there a list of the "commands" we can use for the messages (like the {name}, {amount}, etc)?
You should be able to see that here: https://streamelements.com/dashboard/bot-commands/variables
@carmine surge StreamElements menu, on top of OBS > Logout > Login
Thanks π
I already checked it... And I don't see even the {name} or {amount} variables there.
If I get it right, those are for the chat.
Oh you're looking for the ones the alertbox uses?
Yup
I don't think there's a specific page for that, as the variables that can be used are listed under the "Alert Message" line in the editor
I see. Thanks, anyways π
Iβve tried it and it doesnβt work because i use the pop out from the browser and try inserting it on obs with the url as a custom browser dock but it only allows me to connect with twitch and not youtube
Do I need to setup "tipping" on stream elements - Even though my viewers do superchat and memberships?
im sorry i dont believe this is the right # apologies
Well Superchats and Tips are separate, so it depends on how you plan to receive donations
perfect, thank you π
I guess i should have read more in detail - tipping doesnt take a cut but superchat and whatnot does.. no reason not to activate it lol

- 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.
thank you i did what u said
Hey is it possible to show Alerts for each plattform eg. yt and twitch simultaneously when multistreaming, if I add a youtube channel and a twitch channel to my streamelements account?
@median spear no. Everything is kept separately.
Yeah I know, the settings are kept separately.
But what if I setup alerts for twitch and youtube on se
And them include them both as a browser source in my obs scene
Then start streaming with restream
SE should collect all data independently from youtube and twitch
And in my obs scene the alert shows up, which came in first - no matter if youtube or twitch
Or do I understand it wrong?
That is correct though unlike twitch YouTube has a smaller chance of triggering due to shitty dev decisions.
And do note our activity feed only supports one at a time as well.
Okay I understand. And creating two completely separate SE Accounts is not allowed, isn't it?
If you mean one for twitch and one for YouTube that's perfectly fine.
And there are no problems with terms of service of streamelements?
and then my plan should work properly fine i thinkπ€
Not if you're affiliate. That becomes a twitch issue.
Yeah i know
But yeah otherwise I see nothing wrong.
Okay perfect, then it should work to have alerts for both plattforms in one stream i thinkπ€
Thanks for your help appreciate it
how do I add streamelements BOT to youtube, with the same commands as twitch?
You don't. You have to manually copy and add them.
Hi, can anybody help me please? My SE is not updating probably what's happening on my channel, for example, during a livestream I get some followers but it's not updating on my streamelements account, therefore the alerts won't show, the same thing happens for super chats/new members. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't
Check pinned message
The message says about a delay, but some of the subscribers never really show, I am not sure why. Is there anything I can do to make it update better? I feel like some weeks ago it was updating better
@alpine plank 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
Ohhhhhhhhhhh I see, okay thanks!!
Are there any way to change my profile address?
Maybe due to the name of my channel includes Japanese character, my SE profile is games-452 .
I don't want it and change it to alphabetical name if possible.
Any help are welcome. Thanks in advance. π
@wraith moon because the system can't handle anything beyond a-z/0-9 your first part was ignored and it simply took games. Because someone else already had games as their username elsewhere it did that.
As far as changing lemme ask around regarding that.
Thank you for your immediate support!
As I imagined, the games has been taken for so many people.
Fill out this form with the accountID and the desired username you want. You can get the accountID here. It's the letters and numbers by where your email would normally be.
https://streamelements.com/contact
https://streamelements.com/dashboard/account/channels
Thanks!
I just send my request from the form now.

Hi.
I am using StreamElements for my youtube alerts.
However, the dashboard does not update the new members (Membership).
Today I got 3 new members and the alert didnt show.
In addition, when I checked the dashboard it didnt show that I got any new members.
What to do?
Same here
same here, but my dashboard isnt updating or alerting me off anything, even subscribers
How do i change the color of peoples names for my chatbox??
Hello. I have reached the subs limits, but still I can't see the SE Pay page. Can you please enable it for me? My Stream Elements user id: 60737023d2233c58f9dd3d30
@main vector
I spent 4 hours trying to set up stream elements and still I can't get any activity feed informations. I tried to set up stream labs and it shows all recent subs, than again I try to set up stream elements and again I don't get any informations and alerts don't work
Are you logged in streamlabs with correct account ?
Cause i am using OBS.live for obs and everything is fine
No, i mean the whatever app you are using for streaming
This is what you want to see right ?
StreamElements -> Log Out and log in again
Btw you won't see any activity taht happend before you connected your channel with streamelements
that*
yes and when i sub with other channel i dont get anything in activity feed and alerts dont pop
And do anything happen whe you emulate sub/tip event in preview on streamelements webpage ?
If i open overlay edit and click to emulate sub alert shows on my obs preview
But when I actually sub from other channel it doesn't trigger alert and doesn't show up in activity feed
I made sure that subscription is not set to private on channels I subscribe from
Well, it may take some time before it will appear
I mean
It tooke almost 24hrs between i got sub and it appeared on recent activity feed
Idk why.
But tips works fine
Bruhh where is @main vector whe we need him π
That is weird because I would like to thank everyone for subscribing, can't do that 24h later π
Haha yeah
I used stream elements 1year ago on twitch and it was flawless
YouTube has implemented a design where alerts are coming in delayed/not at all, so that's likely why you're not seeing things populate.
Now I'm trying to set up youtube for 4 hours without succes
Oh thank you @strong surge
Why would they do that lol?
It is so dumb
Couldn't tell you aha
I mean it totally smells like something that google would do.. But why xD
@strong surge are you from streamelements staff? Or just normal user ?
Staff
Well great. I need your help then.
I have reached the subs limits, but still I can't see the SE Pay page. Can you please enable it for me? My Stream Elements user id: 60737023d2233c58f9dd3d30
Dang it i scarred him 
I can check it out in a moment, bouncing around aha
Okay thank you π
Hi.
I am using StreamElements for my youtube alerts.
However, the dashboard does not update the new members (Membership).
Today I got 3 new members and the alert didnt show.
In addition, when I checked the dashboard it didnt show that I got any new members.
What to do?
Based on the page, it looks like you need a couple more subscribers before that can be enabled!
YouTube Alerts are on delay/not appearing due to YouTube's design
Dang. It was 101 just a while ago π
Sorry! Let us know when it gets back and we should be able to get you going.
Okay, Thanks π
Do you know if it will be fixed soon?
π¦
I need those alerts
Hey is there a way to transfer stuff from streamelements twitch channel to a Youtube channel? or better yet sync them?
Only thing you can transfer is the overlays
anything else you will need to "move" manually
my dashboard in streamelements for youtube says I have 0 subscribers
it makes my sub goal progress 0 also
@versed tangle Users can choose to make the channels that they subscribe to public or private. By default, all settings are set to private.
Private: When a user's subscriptions are set to private, no other user can see what channels they subscribe to. A user's account does not show in a channel's Subscribers List, even if they are subscribed.
Public: When users subscriptions are set to public, another user can see what channels they subscribe to. User subscriptions are listed on their channel page and their account is listed in the Subscribers List for any channel they subscribe to.
If a user has it set to Private they will not show up in the activity feed. More info: https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/7280190
cant it just like show the number of subscribers i have in my channel
i just want the sub goal not the alerts
the main dashboard page only shows your weekly gain, not your total subscriber amount
You can check your totals here: https://streamelements.com/dashboard/session and the current goal progress from the goals tab.
@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.
Getting this in the chat window on obs.live after going live with a stream
Make sure OBS Studio is on 26.1.1 and OBS.Live is on 21.3.8.729
There are no updates, but i could tell it to use the latest beta version, would that help?
What are the current versions shown? Top left and bottom right?
The ones you mentioned
@crude vector StreamElements menu, on top of OBS > Logout > Login
beta verseion won't help as its not meant to fix this
@crude vector Please provide a log from your last stream. To do this, in OBS go to Help > Log Files > Upload Last Log File and paste the link to the log file 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.
Someone had posted running obs.live as a super user, do i took that off and now i get βsomethingt went wrongβ in the chat window. What level should i be running obs.lice at?
always as admin
How do i send you the log?
Please provide a log from your last stream. To do this, in OBS go to Help > Log Files > Upload Last Log File and paste the link to the log file here.
Ah
@lime walrus https://obsproject.com/logs/eevfXzNMSOhlz3F5
@lime walrus 60774c86f427305bc4fb26ce is the one for YouTube
is it normal for viewing the logs to cause OBS.Live to become unresponsive for small periods of time?
I'm viewing the log in my browser and I have no issues right now
idk how you are viewing it
I've reported the issue to the devs and they will look into the log
For now I would recommend to popout the chat window from the stream it self.
I used the internal viewing option, I am running a test stream so I don't know if that's a bad time to mess with logs
stream page*
yeah ive been using the popout chat for the time being
hello, kinda big yter here, is the problem fixed? Can i do something like custom animations in real time now? or animations as a thanks for a superchat? or text ot speech superchats?
oh sorry for the ping
Yt no send
rip
Sub alerts are still delayed, everything else like superchat and members are instant
oh really?
Yup
i do i know its not on se
but i mean yt is trying to get better at streaming so i guess it takes time
wouldve just been nice
thanks for the help!
Yeah we hope that will be solved soon. Currently only subscriber events are affected. Feel free to set up alerts for everything else tho like superchat and members.
Anyone know how to get YouTube Live subcount into stream elements
Hi, please help me how i can change my nickname in this place
On Youtube we can manually change the name for you. It is not automated.
This would be done through developers and is not easy.
The tipping link is separated from that, it has to have a unique URL for that name
so if the name is taken, we can't apply the changes to the URL
@near stag That doesn't tell me much so i can't change it in anyway?
You as a user can't change it yourself.
We can change it.
But we also need to know if you want your tipping link to be changed and we need to check if that one is not already in use.
@near stag Ooh so I want to change everywhere nickname to "Snadris", in the tip link too
u can change it for me?
Yes we can do it, but not me, the developers will do it. Can you provide us the account ID from that page?
https://streamelements.com/dashboard/account/channels
So we know which channel needs the namechange?
@near stag Ye ye account ID: 603e620b06b78043dcff745c
Made a task for our developers, it should be done in a few business days.
@near stag Okey ty soo much! <3
Log out and log back in with Youtube into OBS.Live.
Top menu > StreamElements > Logout
That should help
ok
Is there any way to work around not being able to capture Destiny 2?
I am currently trying all options that used to work and cant figure out if I am missing something?
Bungie has opted to not allow OBS to hook Destiny 2 using Game Capture. See: https://www.bungie.net/en/Help/Article/46101
You will need to run the game in either windowed fullscreen or borderless windowed and use Window Capture instead.

wait so the capture with hotkey doesnt work?
hmm why the HELL were they still this restrictive never did get the issue as it hurts not helps and there are many ways they can manage any "botting" issues that may arise?
use window capture
NVM!
Yep
got it
ty! >_< forgot it wasnt in that dropdown but a seperate choice in + menu

<@&382267076632379392> How would I be able to merge a account on stream elements?
@atomic shard Account Merging - Please note:

DM me with tokens^
ok thank you
hey! π any reason I don't get subscriber alerts on my youtube live?
Check the pinned messages

Yep sounds about what I am looking to do.
My livestream chat (in both OBS live and Youtube) are just the basic, no frills youtube chat. The StreamElements bot, tips and games in the chat are not active at all. Is there something simple that I'm missing, as far as the basic setup? My tips page, Merch page and overlays all seem to be working, it's just the chat. It's not any different from the standard Youtube chat...bot, commands and everything else are not active in it. Please help.
@tired linden To set up the bot for your YouTube stream, please follow these steps:
- Make sure your stream is public. The bot cannot join a private/unlisted stream.

I want to switch from facebook to youtube but when I try to go live, it just keeps trying to use facebook settings...

Can streamelements retrieve a YouTube user's user ID?
the SE user id? and retrieve for what?
Their YouTube user ID
When someone changes their YouTube channel name (the one that appears in the chat) I'm assuming streamelements doesn't think it's a different user just because their name changed. I'm assuming each person on the backend has a YouTube user ID, that's what I've been told. How would I see it, like display it in the chat
it isn't displayed in chat, it's internal
does the youtube subcriber animation work ?
Am i allowed to make tiktoks about streamelements widgets?
I don't see why you can't, but from my experience they won't get a lot of views
people who want to know how widgets works usually search on youtube for it
yes
which option is it on the streamelement because i cant find the right one as most of them are for ttv subscribtion
if you are logged in to your yt account it will only show yt things
hi, i kinda messed up linking my youtube account to a new streamelements account instead of the one i actually use, some solution please? thanks in advance
