The only thing I have found that works, is Not using OBSlive. Just regular OBS.
cool....thanks for the swift reply
even with the release candidate and the experimental OBS.live still get the same result. The Youtube integration Window does not load. with JUST OBS and not OBS.live It works.
yes, thats what that conversation is about,
removing the live plugin and just use normal obs
this might already be discussed, but is there an updated guide on how to import your twitch overlays into your youtube channel?
I saw a youtube video on that when I was googling something else. Try googling and see if you get a good search result??
yeah i haven't found anything but the old guide on how to do it, but that isn't relevant anymore apparently. The button for importing like they show is not there anymore
Yeah that's probably what I saw when I was looking how to add youtube to SE while I initially had Twitch.....sorry that it wasn't what you were looking for
all good. It is what im looking for lol the site just got updated since then and doesn't have the button.
I having some trouble with a command variable for the chatbot. I'm trying to get the command to reset a count to 0. When I try using the variables from the Dashboard ${count <wins> <0>}, it returns the result back exactly like that without executing it. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?
I can’t seem to stream to YouTube. Any ideas on why?
is Streamelements currently not sending websocket info?
Do you have the right Stream Key/servers selected in OBS settings to match the stream?
Is OBS up to date?
Those are 2 things that might cause it not to start
Everything is up to date and Info is correct. When I logout of streamelements, it works
Is there a way to merge two SE accounts? I created a new one by accident with my YouTube live channel
So when I try to add the YouTube channel to my existing account I get the "Channel Already Claimed" error
^-- Scratch the above, I found the form.
I have my youtube channel, but it's not the right link. It won't let me add the right link to my profile and I can't sign in with a new account at all.
@brave slate wdym the right link?
i created a brand channel. but i can't log in with it, i can't use it when i log in using my twitch. I want to close my account and restart a new one with my brand channel
You will have to most likely remove our permissions from your YT account from here: https://myaccount.google.com/permissions
and then try and login with the brand account
i log back in, i gave it persmissions to the new account and it took me right back to the log in screen. i can't get to the dashboard
ok
@lime walrus nope, same thing. I tried to log in, it took me back to the log in screen.
i give up. try again in the morning
Nothing works on YouTube with OBS.live. I start the stream via Touch Portal - no chat, no chat bot, nothing.
If I start the stream via "Live-Video Settings", I get an error message about wrong path, wrong settings and other things.
Streamelements was great in Twitch, but useless for Youtube.
Have you checked your stream key before using Live Video Settings?
wrong path may refer to the stream key, since you also mention Twitch
If I normally use the "Start Stream" button from OBS, everything runs perfectly, whether directly in OBS or with Touch Portal. But then there is neither a chat (yes, the live chat is discontinued) nor does the chat bot work. It is as if stream elements did not exist at all.
When I go to the "Chat" dock, nothing works.
Are you doing a private stream or public one?
because our docks and chat bot rely on the streams to be public
It's a completely normal public stream on Youtube.
Even if it worked, I would like to start the stream exactly as I did on Twitch - just press the appropriate button in Touch Portal and it should start. Without these contortions via the "Live Settings Video" window. If that doesn't work, then I can't use OBS.live.
But when I do that, the chat dock flickers for a while and eventually turns completely white.
Unfortunately, going Live on YT is different then Twitch, as the Stream settings need to be set either via OBS.Live when you go live or via the YT dashboard.
Can you show a screenshot of how the chat dock looks?
First I click on "Live Dashboard" on the left, my streaming room in Youtube appears in the browser. After that, it doesn't matter whether I use the first or the second option, nothing more happens.
Are you currently live?
No
No, I then have to click "Stop Streaming" on the right in OBS. If I then look on Youtube under Contents -> Livestreams, then there is nothing.
At the moment the chat dock won't white, that only happens when I start the stream directly with OBS.
The only thing that comes to mind to do is provide a log file of when this white screen on the chat dock happens
Wait five minutes, the control window (red) shows nothing. I stopped the stream and there is nothing in content on Youtube (not even after waiting another ten minutes).
@versed tangle ⤵️
Please provide a log from your last stream. To do this, in OBS go to Help > Log Files > Upload Current Log File and paste the link to the log file here.
I'll pass this to the devs, as I'm not seeing any issues in the log file
@versed tangle ⤵️
Please provide your account ID found at the top of this page: https://streamelements.com/dashboard/account/channels This ID is public info and safe to share here.
i would need your account ID just in case
Account ID 6128003ca7f239cecd15940e
When I start the stream via Touch Portal there are always these two images alternating:
After a certain amount of time - of varying length - the chat dock then crashes and turns white.
Reported to devs
Thanks ... then I hope the developers find the problem and fix it.
Why when i stream it doesnt go on youtube but it says im streaming?
@nova frost ⤵️
StreamElements menu, on top of OBS > Logout > Login
Just a quick question, does the Streamelements bot appear on Member only streams please? I am not at home currently, so can't test it.
If the stream is public, it will appear, private or unlisted streams - no.
Dang it. Thanks anyway @near stag
Hey there I seem to be having issues with obs.live connecting to YT streaming. I removed it to check everything else as well as using another program and both of those seem to be fine. When i hit "start streaming" it brings up a dialogue box (per screenshot) and nothing happens
this seems related to the known issue but i cant actually use the dialogue box at all
looks around a bit more sorry seems a few are having this issue. with the current fix being to not use obs.live. Can i still import things like chat etc into obs so its available to me on one screen or do i have to use YT dashboard
you can copy your pop out chat url and have it as a custom dock in obs if you wish,
theres also a beta release for obs that has yt integration for things like chat
aaah sweet. is that the SE live version option or are we talking specifically OBS
or are those the same
gotcha, how do i set myself into the beta release is it like steam where i can opt in or is it a separate download? sorry for the likely stupid questions, never really had to do this before
join the obs discord
then you can go here
#355813261695909888 message
Obs.live is a plugin for OBS Studio for the best OBS support, please join their Official Discord @ https://discord.gg/obsproject
aah great thank you
How can I fix my audio it’s a snowball ice? It keeps making this super loud alien summon noise lol and when I watch my gameplay it’s very echoey
In OBS studios and what do you use to capture gameplay from the elgato so you can edit and upload it?
can't log into youtube via google for stream elements, someone helpppppp lol
i have done this the chat changes thats not an issue, the activity feed on far right is the issue nothing comes through on it at all weather im live or not.
When I am streaming the audio is fine but the video seems to freeze randomly even if I just have a tab open not a game, is there anyway I can fix this?
Can somebody Help me that when i stream on youtube i can choose durring start my Thumbnail?
I think I know what the problem is. If I start the stream via StreamElements, SE simply sets the stream key to a different value in OBS. But I have a stream key, a permanent one and therefore the stream cannot start.
Can anyone point me to a tutorial that shows me how to set up variations for the 4 YouTube memberships I have on my channel please? Would really like to be able to differentiate between the name for each level. Many thanks
I asked this in #helpdesk-selive also but got no traction...
so..when i use obs.live for youtube streaming, i can click on live video settings, set my title and category and all...but when it gets published on youtube, its the wrong title (for example it will name it what my last video was) and on top of that, when i set the category in OBS.live settings as Gaming, the video is published in Entertainment ion youtube.
im trying to login with my youtube account and everytime it shows this
Try again then it should go!
nope, ive been trying since yesterday
doesnt help
Mhhh..? What now?
Try not with Youtube but normally without account for example: Email da phone number etc
well im trying to login to stream elements sooo
yeah but youtube doesnt work
Emmm.. Wait
it doesnt even show a profile picture
Then re-load the page
tried that
Are you English or Other?

Right?
What is on the right?
Please go to the headline in discord on the right and clik on it then comes a link
Hiya! I'm getting a "Response message" posted to my chat by StreamElements when I stream on YouTube. My timers all appear to be set up correctly, and some of them do work. Any idea why this is occurring?
@marsh sigil You've got a timer with an extra one with that. Just expand them via the triangle on the end.
An extra one?
OK I didn't know that LUL
Hi all I have set up all my overlays in streamelements for youtube and imported them to OBS LIVE. they emulate fine both in streamelements and OBS but when someone subscribers or whatever the overlays dont work. any thoughts
I assume streamelements can't read YouTube data then?
Cause alerts don't trigger, and no data is being stored in the activity feed
ok so iv set up 2 different scene collections in obs. one for twitch and one for youtube. now both arnt running if someone follows or subs urgh
somethings not happening at streamelements end to obs somehow
hi there
where can i find help merging my twitch and youtube accounts on SE? I already have Twitch claimed by SE, and YouTube also claimed by SE... how do i combine them into one account if they are already claimed?
When I click start streaming, it says stream request sent. Why?
For youtube only, not when Im connected to my twitch account
Loyalty is not available on YouTube.
ok thank you
why are there yelloww lines when i open obs
why are there yelloww lines when i open obs and how to takeo vut
nwm i fixed it
Hello dear SE team, I have recently encountered an issue with my Activity Feed, it is not updating at all, and due to that my alerts not showing when I go live.
If anyone can help me, much appreciated.
Is this for all events or just some of them?
All of them, no tipping, no subs, no members
It's showing 3 subs that like subbed a week ago, and stuck on that
i have a odd problem. when i run my tests to make sure everything is working. both my sub-goal (5) and total subs (46) changes to a completely random but matching number for example "sub-goal 20/5" "total subs 20." run the test again and it changes to "sub-goal 36/5" "total subs 36" almost like there synced up for no reason. which is completely messing up my ability to trouble shoot my notifications not pooping up when someone actually subs.
it even happens with a new overlay

This was happening to me. I got no response so wondered if you fixed it?
When is the Fortnite application opening?
@dense perch ⤵️
Thank you for your interest in our Fortnite Challenge program! We have temporarily closed submissions but we may re-open our application at a future date. Please send us your contact information in the meantime: https://forms.gle/ktgEGz2n2ncNSfWQ6
Note: To be eligible, your primary streaming account needs to have at least 1,000 followers, and you MUST be a Fortnite content creator.
I would like to add a monthly sub goal and total sub goal to my stream overlay. Ideally, one would transition in, display for 10 seconds, transition out and then the other do the same. This way it shows multiple goals in one area of my screen. Thoughts on how to do this? What does the animation feature of the sub goal do? I see a transition in/out but when I preview it, I don't see anything.
How do I get the chat bot to work? As you can see, he has registered, he is also listed as a moderator in my channel. He should have sent 12 messages here, he didn't send a single one.
Hey I need help with streaming to youtube! I keep trying to start the stream and it says stream request but nothing pulls up
This blank youtube page keeps popping up? Anyone know what the issue is?

Hmmmm ok also when the donation link changes will this change also
How long will it take to update?
Hi, I accidentally created a new Stream Elements for my YT instead of adding to one of my channels of my existing Stream Elements Dashboard. Is there a way to merge them?
@austere parcel ⤵️
Account Merging - Please note:
- Merging accounts only allow 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 fill out the form here: https://streamelements.com/contact with each token correctly labelled
You can find your JWT token on your account channels page (Show Secrets to reveal the token): https://streamelements.com/dashboard/account/channels

Can anyone point me to a tutorial that shows me how to set up variations for the 4 YouTube memberships I have on my channel please? Would really like to be able to differentiate between the name for each level. Many thanks
Hi everyone!
i would like to know how do i disable these recurring membership alerts? Like most of my audience is from India and now youtube doesn't support recurring memberships in India, even if the membership expires, it gives me a alert for the person every 30th day that he has sponsored the channel, which isn't happening actually.
Hey! I cant see my membership emotes in chatbox. is there anyway to fix it?
What @robust nymph said but also I am having very delayed notifications?
Pinned messages.
hello ive completed that form to merge both my twitch you youtube account together but they appear on separate profiles is there a way to keep them on the same profile cause all my overlays are on the twitch profile and i would like them on the youtube one i have completed the contact form and supplied the JWT for both
Hey there I just uninstalled OBS Studio because the steps for Streaelements was installing a Stream obs.live ... I added to desktop and went to launch and its saying it will not run on my system... Do i need OBS already installed??
was that a 20 min download for a Software that just works along with OBS?
hello guys, anyone knows where do i put my Jw overlay token for youtube? the overlay is not working on youtube while streaming, only the "tests subs" work but not when some really suscribes to the channel
does anyone monitor this channel? <@&364840891023622144>
I am getting an error when trying to log in via YouTube:
Is it related to this, and if so, what is the workaround?
I'm having an issue with my Channel profiles for Youtube.
I have GymLeaderDaniel, which is connecting to my TheTekShow Youtbue account properly; but the name won't update.
During my struggle with google I accidentally made a second brand account which I've deleted, but it's still connected to my StreamElements. Can I get help removing it.
Lastly, can I get updates to the GymLeaderDaniel store and profile pages, they should be TheTekShow as well.
I have confirmed a major bug.
As of August 4 2021, new brand accounts on YouTube are designated as "limited to YouTube". This is a different set of permissions inside OAuth than Google accounts created before Aug 4.
YouTube accounts made after Aug 4 do not work with Streamelements as of now, simply due to a failure to authenticate. Any chance of a fix?
Let me take a look into this, thanks for the report!
The profile page can be manually update in the dashboard. As for the store, the only way for it to pick up a new channel name is for us to reset the store completely
@valid oriole ⤵️
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

How do I get my Activity Feed in OBS Live to show my YouTube acitivty instead of my Twitch. It randomly switched back to Twitch after being on YouTube for over a week now
Anybody else having issues with YouTube chat showing up in OBS.Live?
I can't get YouTube Activity Feed to show up in OBS.Live right now
Chat seems to be working fine for me. But it will not let me display my YouTube Activity Feed. Even though I've been using it without issue all week. Super annoying
see, I'm having the opposite issue. Activity feed is fine, but Chat won't show
Truthfully, @ocean oyster, I did a full reset on my account so I could just have YouTube as my designated channel. That way, it wasn't doing that switching thing you were talking about - especially since I won't be going back to Twitch like... ever...
Haha yeah I just switched over like a week and a half ago, and debating removing Twitch, because it gives me no option to Connect to my YouTube for Activity Feed in OBS.Live right now
Will only let me connect to Twitch
Even though stream settings are all setup for YouTube and I was literally streaming last night on YouTube with everything working fine
Do you import a Custom Browser Dock with your YT Live Chat URL?
Anyone know the secret to having your stream show up on the Live tab of the game you've selected in the dashboard. I monitored it for the game I streamed tonight and never saw mine show up. Hard to grow if no one sees me in the categories
No, because I think I'd have to import a new custom browser dock every single time I go live to make that work. Was just hoping that OBS.Live would pick up the chat for me, but I guess it's bugged right now or something.
@candid bobcat Not really any 'secret' that I know of. Though, I do know that you are more likely to show up in searches than you are on the live tab. I'm releasing a video to help viewers find new live creators tomorrow morning, actually, that focuses on using search more effectively to find a variety of creators who are currently live.
So I should focus on good titles and descriptions to make my video more likely to show up in a search and not worry about YouTube possibly displaying my videos on the static live page
That's the only way I know how to get YouTube chat to display on OBS.Live haha, and always thought it was a Pain in the @$$ having to do it every stream. How do you normally do it?
Yeah, YouTube is a Search Engine first and foremost. Titles & Descriptions along with eye-catching Thumbnails are going to make a big difference
@ocean oyster well, OBS.Live DOES have a chat dock where it's supposed to import your chat for you, like it does with Twitch. But that's the one I'm having issues with, so IDK, man.
Yes, exactly. Focus more on SEO than being quirky, that way the algorithm notices you and puts you in front of people searching for specific things. That's something I'm working to improve, because the titles I had on Twitch taught me what I would consider to be bad SEO habits now. haha
To answer your question more directly, I NORMALLY just have my live dashboard pulled up in a browser window so that I can read chat and monitor my stream's health and such. Might end up going back to that if I can't get OBS.Live to work for me.
Agreed
I just had my stream tonight flagged for copy right. Songs in game got flagged. Will have to see if I can disable them
StreamElements Alerts and Chat do not work anymore for Youtube as far as I can tell.
What does work? Is any StreamElements widget funtional in Youtube anymore?
Hello whom may i ask if I could get some assistance with SE-Pay. Is there anyone available to assist me with this?

Has anyone used Coocla's widget on Youtube? or is there a way for me to edit and have it get Youtube's feed?
heey i have a question i switch from twitch to yooutube streaming but my alerts chat bot and my dashboard not working how to fix it?
Are you logged in with your Twitch user or your YouTube user?
youtube account
What is not working in the dashboard?
it shows 0 subs and i have a couple and because of that i think my alerts not working and my chatbot
If the issue is specifically with subs, see the pinned messages in this channel for your answer.
Hey! just reaching out again. My membership emojis dont appear in my chatbox via streamelements for some reason. Would love a fix! 🙂
try !emotes update
Where do I type that? 🙂
It looks like this right now.
The emoji appears in my youtube chat but not in the streamelements overlay
its not only that its the alerts to they dont show up but when i in the overlay additing do a test alert than its shows
Yeah, if you emulate an alert it should show.
yeah thats work but when i get a real alert it dont show
Did you check the pinned messages? The answer for why subs don't trigger an alert or an event is there.
Youtube subscription privacy settings: this one?
No this: #helpdesk-youtube message
Figment! Do you have any idea to fix my issue?
but my subs are 12 hours ago
and some subs 2 years ago and it says still 0 subs
So it's the privacy settings, yes. 🙂
its open its not private
Update: The emojis youtube has built in works but not my membership emojis
Hello friends. I have a youtube channel that I just attached to my Twitch SE Dashboard; I want to import my overlays from my Twitch connected account, however when I'm on the youtube dashboard the option is missing. Yet, my twitch CAN take from my youtube; just not vice versa.
Hi guys, just a quick one, I've setup an alertbox with sound variations for subscribers, but it doesn't work as it plays default sound. Any idea why? (ps. I have done this many times for twitch and facebook with no issues, I know how to set it up). Thanks
I'm fine with the store being reset in order to make the change.
We would need the account ID from the channel and your confirmation to delete the store. Please get the account ID from that page:
https://streamelements.com/dashboard/account/channels
it still reads as GymLeaderDaniel here, I don't know why.
5ef3c61d066686357334ad1c
Thanks. The store is now reset.
Also, sorry I'm not seeing where to update the profile page. I only see an option to update the Page Title:
You can update it here:
https://streamelements.com/dashboard/profile
And if you click on the profile itself, you can edit some things like the avatar there.
Oh, I've already updated all that. It's the gymleaderdaniel stuff I'm trying to update. Even the link to the profile page is: https://streamelements.com/gymleaderdaniel-8531
This is related to the name of the channel. YouTube does not provide namechange data, so we would need to manually update it.
The system still has the old name, so the merch shop will also have the old name for now if you re-create it
Okay, what do I need to do to fix that? I've update my youtube channel to the best of my knowledge.
We need to make a task to change the name - only if the name is not already in use on our platform. So what would be the name you wish to have?
Oh, TheTekShow profile is already being used by my Twitch. So if I want it to be something like TekOnYoutube? is that okay
That might be possible, let me check the name
Yep, the name is free. I made a task for our developers, they will fix it in a few business days.
Is there a chance that SE will really work with YouTube at some point? At the moment very little works, the chatbot doesn't work, the activity feed doesn't work, so the labels don't work either ... which is a shame. I would like to know if and when this can work.
Currently everything is operational.
The chatbot is fully functional, but will only work on public livestreams.
The activity feed also shows all events - superchats, memberships etc.
And the name is changed already. Please check the profile
So.. We just gonna skip over other questions that were here first? 😒
No, we just reply as we have time. You can duplicate your overlays to any connected account. Go to "my overlays", find the overlay you want, click on 3 dots, then duplicate and select the channel.
is there a way to change your donation page URL?
Only if we rename the account in StreamElements manually. The name has to be free. If the name is already in use by someone else - not possible.
Thank you so much! That was giving me so much anxiety, especially because I'm just starting to post on Youtube now. I really appreciate it!
No, neither the chatbot is working nor the activity feed. I've tried this on several live streams now, it doesn't work.

I see that the data is correct. You do not have any events to be displayed in the activity feed. Your channel has not that many subscribers and no events like superchats and memberships, you can't even enable those features.
And Subscriber events on YT are delayed, 4h or longer.
can somebody help me with my stream please i cant start it on youtube
Let's assume that this is correct (which is not quite), the chatbot does not work either. I've tried all kinds of approaches, it just doesn't. I've now deactivated it and try another chatbot.
Ok. Let us know if you need assistance in the future.
Hi. What is the error that you see?
how do i add an email so i can delete my account
or merge 2 accounts so i can use my original overlays for both twitch and youtube
nvm just deleted my streamelements twitch
Hi sorry to bother. I added a new youtube channel to my account, I can add my original (personal) youtube channel in streamelements but when i try and add the new one I get "Authorization Error Error 400: invalid_request Account restricted" I've tried googling how to remove restriction but so far no luck
Hello. I tried to login via youtube and kept getting errors, yet when I logged in with the same account but chose Twitch it logged in just fine. I then tried a different email address/channel and it let me login through that youtube. This is all on the home streamelements login page. Any thoughts?
Hello, any known issues with connecting a new YouTube account? Getting Error 400: invalid_request
Same as Floaty
Got something new this time, returned to homepage with this URL: https://streamelements.com/?error=Something went wrong.. please try again later#
@west fulcrum @fresh sail Have you tried logging out, clearing cookies and cache, and the connection again?
I can try that. I will see if restarting my computer will help tomorrow
Yeah, even tried a different PC and a different YouTube account. Same results
guys why is my youtube channel noot showing in the login part my channels name is THE EXTRACTOR but its not in the list pls help
Isn't it the last channel?
I have the same issue as @west fulcrum and @fresh sail
Need help. How on earth do I make a target command to shout out a subscriber's channel url?
@lapis wraith That unfortunately isn't an easy/possible thing to do as there's 2 channel formats and not necessarily what matches the users display name.
Is there really no way to show my membership emojis in a chatbox?
Why is it that in my Overlays if i remove Video from Tips Alerts then it wont show anything? It should still show the text setup under Alert Message but its not. it requires the video to show the alert text which seems like a bug?
If anyone ever run into the same issue. what you have to do is to select the middle one. left and right wont show alert if you have no image or video
@hallow gust ⤵️
Text not showing up over your alerts? Go to the Advanced Text Settings and set the top margin to 50, you can work your way to the right position from there.
the activity feed does not work for me either, the chat bot works though
I sent in a ticket with screenshots outlining the steps. Hopefully will hear something today 😵💫
hi
Is your stream public?
I am unable to get my activity feed and chat to connect to my youtube chat....it is stuck on twitch

Hi there. I'm helping someone move from Twitch to YT and we've hit some issues. Why might their activity feed for YT only be showing subs from 6 days ago, when I know they had new subs today?
Can we merge their two accounts? I found the above message from the bot! 🙂
So I still haven’t gotten an answer on why when I log into Streamelements via OBS, I can’t stream to YouTube when everything is correct with the stream key and url. It only works when I logout and don’t use Streamelements
YouTube has designed it where events coming to us can be delayed or not arrive.
Can you try to click on the "Live Video Settings" button in the chat dock and use the 2nd option from the pop up "Use these settings" to go live?
Still the same thing. It’s blank
About how often does it fail to arrive at all? I get the sense from your message that it might be a lot of the time.
That's the main complaint from all users mainly. There's absolutely 0 reliability with it.
Ever been in someone else's discord and wished you could delete pointless hateful messages? Me too.

Where Do I Paste the stream overlay link?
@iron salmon ⤵️
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
Why it is taking forever to load the overlay?
same issue for me
Unfortuantely, there is no work around for that issue. Its something that just shows up and then fixes it self over time. @viral plank @stray cave
are you sure the overlay has any assets for it to actively show when loaded? if it hasjust the alert widget, then nothing will show up
my live stuck on start streaming on youtube
anyone know where i can get one of those little animations of a mouse cursor coming up and hitting the sub button?
that is always custom amde by designers. Check #art-marketplace if someone is doing something like that
can you elaborate?
Hail, I have a question about SE Pay.

Please contact us via email for support with SE.Pay. You can use our contact form here: https://streamelements.com/contact Thank you.
Much obliged.
Hi , my activity feed is not up to date , it didn't capture the last 2 subscriptions
Check pinned message about subscriber events
Where is the pinned message? Where can it be found?
oh thank you
There is no video showing on youtube live stream, even though the scene is setup with video and game sources.
And these are the settings in Streamelements OBS
Hi. Did you start your stream through the "Live Video Settings" tab in OBS.Live?
This is required, if you just hit the "start stream" button - it will not work,
Does anybody here use a sub goal? I find on my YT that the real-time updating of streamelements sub goals are iffy at best. Often times, I have to manually reset session data for it to update. Any thoughts on that?
Yo , it's been over 4 hours now and still no notification on Activity or Alerts for subscription done earlier
Hello , anyone able to comment on the Subscription alerts not showing in events as well? It's already pass 4 hours and still nothing .
@proven merlin@visual talon think its a time thing or a provacy setting on the own peoples youtube cause my own widget nly displays 2 out of my 5 subscribers also may be a time thing not to sure. but see if theey can fix it on the near future
It's not something that we can fix. It's entirely due to stuff on the youtube side.
@main vector what do you mean its just analytics shouldnt it just flow through to both websites
Logically yes.
But if the flow is hindered by backend design by youtube there's nothing for us to magically grab all subs.
thats why i thought it might be a privacy thing of other peoples accounts but its fine thanks for replying though
That's another thing yes but even if it's set to public out the bat there is no guarantee it will be sent to us properly.
oh that makes sense kind of it is what it is tbh just remember your own subcount i suppose and praise em at the start of the streams
probs a coding thing that wont be fixed for a while
im sure when youtube streaming picks up a bit more pace it will change
No.
This was back around christmas and slightly before it was changed.
There's nothing to fix if they want it this way.
you sound a bit jaded by it. stay positive
Help! 🔥 Does anyone know away to add a Marker to YouTube Live with a single keystroke? Maybe through OSB, or Stream Deck, or with a Macro? I am willing to pay for someone develop a solution. Please help! 🥺
I need assistance in swapping my tipping URLs from my twitch and YouTube profiles. DM me if needed
I have my streamelements account have both my twitch and YouTube accounts linked. The YouTube account uses an old picture and an old naming for the channel. Is there a way to update this? Or remove the account so I can re add it?
you won't be able to swap them but we can change your YT tipping link to a different one if available, but you will have to send us an email for that: support@streamelements.com (include your account id and desired username)
Will do. I've had it done before.
email sent.
My chat timers dont seem to work with YT stream. Is this a bug or am I just missing a setting?
How are you testing the timers?
I haven’t tested them, they just don’t work when I stream
Have you followed the steps to properly add the bot to your channel?
My overall account is linked with my YT. is that what youre reffering to?
like at the end of each stream it get stream reports and everything. So i assume its linked
oh wait i didnt have stream elements as a mod. maybe that was the problem
@fervent horizon ⤵️
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.
Thank you!
I have been connected for about two weeks now and no activity is being shown, or alerts going off. I have gotten subs while connected and still nothing.
any known issues going on RN with streaming on YT? mine just stops responding when I hit
"Start Stream"
Can I get SE.Pay enabled on my account? let me know what info you need from me
There's a workaround in the pin messages you can try
@viral pond ⤵️
Please contact us via email for support with SE.Pay. You can use our contact form here: https://streamelements.com/contact Thank you.
Thank you. started for me out of no where. they have known about it since the 9th. hopefully its resolved soon
I did that and there's still no feed on Youtube. It shows Ëxcellent connection.
ohk
i have a question, if i delete the streamslements bot, how i could add it back again
i cant find the link to add the bot as moderator of my channel
or i just do a livestream again and it will appear?

Hello
I cant start stream with obs live while i am logged in
I have to logout and then start stream and then log back in
This messes my chat stream elements alerts
I need help with this
I started to get this issue when i deleted my previous channel and made this new one
Hi. In general a single relog is enough when data changes. What is the error that you see in general?
do you guys have a walkthrough on setting up your bot for youtube?
There is not much that you have to do. Dashboard - join channel, this is the first step. The bot will be visible on public livestreams
And then you can add custom commands and timers and decide which default commands you need
Ok I've done those steps and it wasnt working. Do I have to do anything on the channel side?
Hello, I'm in trouble adding SE.Pay to my account, it says that SE.Pay is not available due to region constraint or channel size. Currently having above 900k+ on YouTube, so this channel is rather not too small. I'm from Poland
Hello - I just did a private (unlisted) community stream on Youtube for my community as we kick off a move to the platform. I had already added the SE Chatbot and Chat overlay, etc. However, during the stream the chat overlay was not working (verified everything is correct) nor was chatbot in chat even though I added it. Would being unlisted cause all of this?
@native badge ⤵️
Please contact us via email for support with SE.Pay. You can use our contact form here: https://streamelements.com/contact Thank you.
Yes, it will need to be a public livestream for the tools to work
Excellent. Good to know! I suspected that might be it but just wanted to confirm. Thank you!
Hey, trying to link my twitch and youtube to the same profile but i get the "this channel has already been claimed" notification.

all that's done. been live for 30 minutes and it's still not showing up

How do I set up streamelements bot auto announcements for only one stream?
Just can't seem to make the bot work

Unfortunately that's about as far as i can help as I don't use the YouTube side of things.
Please message donatepay support directly. They have issues with YT authentication
Please help me - my alters from youtube don't work, none of my revenue from youtube works, the dashboard shows no revenue or members, my account is linked via youtube. Do you have any troubleshooting guide or resource? Thanks for the help.
I have asked before for help. I was told to uninstall reinstall obs, I did that.
It has not helped.
@young zodiac I believe you also sent us a ticket - i have updated it there. Was a ticket or a twitter post.
hi,

hi
can someone start me from scrach pls
I tried to link two youtube channel and a twitch channel to the same account but I can't do it, because it puts me "already claimed" when I want to add my youtube channel to the account where there is already my youtube channel and my twitch channel.
In the meantime I have therefore put it in "full control", because I have not succeeded in deleting the StreamElements account from my youtube channel to link to the other account.
The most important is that the channel I want to add (PULSATIONMOONLIGHT) is basically a chain from a "branded google account limited to youtube" and when I try to connect with the branded account I have an api error , I therefore spent it in "classic" account in the meantime.
If there is a way to help me I would be delighted, while waiting for my solution is enough but does not suit me.
My friend can not connect with his brand account limited to youtube either, only my old brand account (which is not limited to youtube) allows to connect to SE (also with blasic Google accounts)

Do you want to unlink or merge accounts?
Merge if possible. As that's what I'll be doing anyhow. Will I be able to share overlays between the two of them? Essentially was looking to just duplicate my overlay I use with Twitch and use it with YouTube.

Is it not working ? @boreal nexus
does it take 100 subs on YouTube to enable SE.Pay?
Yes
sorry for the late response I thought it was working because i tested it and it worked but my chat overlay did not populate during my actual stream
Hi Guys. I have a question. What could be wrong, since I am logged into StreamElements via YouTube, create a chat, etc., copy the link, paste it into OBS and the chat window appears but no text entered before YouTube chat appears ..? I note that I did the same with Chat from Twitch and everything flashes. I want to stream to Twitch and YouTube at the same time.
After opening the settings in OBS, when I click Openin StreamElements Overlay Editor, the following message appears: Uh-oh ... Overlay does not exist
on the website you can normally see that everything is there.
I just want to point out that I am logged in to OBS via a YouTube account. I see this same problem when I try open alerts from OBS on YouTube... Overlay does not exist info, but when I test them from the StreamElements page they show up on stream window
today I have information about invalid authorization token instead (I can emulate from page and the AlertBox is work but YouTube chat don't)
I'll be glad for help. I spend whole day yesterday to find solution
It seems like you're describing several different things, but let's start with the most important - we do not support multiplatform streaming.
yhmy
ok thank you
but this is just don't work for my youtube account
I wanna use OBS.live for streaming on youtube only
I don't have setup for Twitch

@tribal pumice People ask you to jump off a bridge. Why should you follow everyone else who is doing it without questioning anything about it (or knowing how tall it is).
Same applies with video/audio.
Just because someone else is doing it doesn't mean nothing bad is not gonna happen to them.

Hi @everyone
Did you put the right size?
I think I got it working it was a mistake by me popping out chat BEFORE I went live technically using the wrong chat since the url changes each time
Hi, if i use go live with live dashboard settings OBS hangs. I had been using create a new youtube live video with these settings but noticed a huge delay and checked and its defaulting to normal delay. I cant figure out how to start a stream with ultra low latency anymore? Anyone else have this issue?
Hello! I created two accounts on stream elements (one for twitch and one for youtube) but I would like to merge both. Anyone knows how can I delete one of the accounts?
reach out via https://streamelements.com/contact @fallen mantle with a request to merge, we'll instruct you further there
maybe it defaults to the stream delay you set up in OBS it's self?
Also, when you go live through these settings how do you set the thumbnail you want?
There doesn't seem to be a setting for it for starting via the app, just title/description/category. Are other people able to start via Go Live with Youtube Dashboard Settings? That used to work for me but no longer does and I saw a post online saying it was broke
@peak sage thank you very much for the fast response ❤️
no worries ❤️
File<settings<advanced<stream delay
I don't have a delay set in OBS and using low latency encoders, but youtube has a seperate specific delay option
If I started via streamelements it defaults to normal and i cant change it
oof. Idk, but Im glad you put us on notice, Im streaming later
If I figure it out ill be sure to let you know
Ok thanks, I've been playing with it trying to find a workaround
Hi! I recently setup a 2nd youtube channel to stream different content from, and while trying to setup streamelements with this 2nd youtube account, I got this error..
Hi, I've been having the same issue as Grog above, when I try to stream using the Youtube dashboard settings OBS freezes and I have to start the stream from OBS.
Hello, I'm not sure if it's available, but is there a way to set my Youtube channel point at least via bot?
Channel point?
Yeah, like Twitch. I know that Youtube does not have this feature officially as its own, but I'm not sure if bot can do something similar to be used in command cost.
Nor possible.
Thank you for your answer. :3
subscriber alert not working
it work when i test it from web site, but when someone really subscribe, it not working
and on dashboard it dont show how much people subscribe yesterday
6 people subed yesterday and there is nothing on dashboard
i setup everything but only alerts not working
and not i dont know do donation alerts working so i looking for someone who can just send $1 and test it for me, because if someone really donate me i wont see it
Tag Me
hello am new to streamElements and ive clicked on my live stream chat and it asked me to sign in so i did then it just signed me in my youtube and i tried to get my chat back but ended up losing the hole box does anyone know how to get it back
"Tag Me Please"
am so blind nvm found out how to get it back
Hi,
I recently changed my channel name and I was wondering if my tipping link could be updated to match the new name? Thanks!
Hi. Yes, this is possible. We would need your account ID from that page:
https://streamelements.com/dashboard/account/channels
And your new name. If the name is in use already - we will not be able to use it.
Hi. Sub alerts are delayed on the YT end, we are not getting events in time, so we are not able to display them.
so it wont show on stream?
It will show on stream, just the alerts can be massively delayed. Usual timeframe is 4h
AccountID: 5f2c56945eca877c2a9e8929 Name: Voydec - I do have a twitch channel also of the same name (ID: 5f2bd3fafb6921538145ee90) could we change the twitch tipping link to voydectv, if changing the YT channel one causes an issue?
We can swap the alias from Twitch to YouTube
So you will have the correct name and link on YouTube, but the Twitch one will be different
Perfect! I also wanted to ask if there was an easier way to transfer custom commands between the two accounts? i know you have integrations from other bots, but not from another stream elements account.
The task for the developers is done, the alias swap will take several business days. There is sadly no way to import chat commands or timers or anything around the bot from one account to the other
Only overlays can be transferred
ok
is there somewhere i can suggest the idea?
itll just save a lot of time retyping all of my commands again
This has been suggested, but we currently have no plans to implement it. Might be available in the future.
Didn't want to get lost in the sea of questions here :p
@steady glen There is a way. Just gimme a sec for a link.

Does anyone know how to link a brand account to streamelements? It keeps giving me an error 400 and Account restricted
Im getting the same thing Pelps
does anybody know how to get my sub count to be corrent, its wrong in my overlay
@north oak ⤵️
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.
Do alerts work for youtube as same as they would for twitch, more specifically subscriber alerts?
Any update on the streaming issue?
I need help getting a stream key
I need help with youtube chat, when i start streaming the chat box in OBS shows the youtube monkey something went wrong.
Go to your YouTube Studio then klick on the Livestream button and ther you find it
has anyone else had the chatbox not work in the overlays? Cannot figure out why the chat isn't appearing
works on the side panel btw it is just in my overlays
I can't click on that

Does anyone else have issues with the alerts being like 15 mins late or not even showing up when someone slicks the subscribe button?
Im having the same issue. If you happen to figure it out, let me know too. Lol. Ill let you know if I find out also.
Youtube alerts are delayed based on function design by Google
So there is nothing that can be done about it then? I mean I had 3 of the 5 subs from my last stream not even show up at all.
Just curious. If there isn't, I get it.
Unfortunately, that's on Googles end so we can't make changes to it
How do you get a new thumbnail to show on YouTube through SE? Settings since I can't go live with YT settings
hey hey hey mates, i will try out youtube for streaming. i have streamelements with twitch, is there a way to use one account on streamelements or do i need to make a youtube account on SE (or what is better if both ways work?)
We don't have "primary" account system - each account has its own overlays and information. You will need to sign up with your Youtube and make overlays on it to have alerts to display at bare minimum

Hey, I'm using a Nerd Or Die layout on streamelements and despite adding 'StreamElements' to the list of users to be filtered from the on-screen chatbox, the messages still show up...
hey folks, one question, does the kappagen work for youtube ?
Hi. No, this is a twitch exclusive feature currently.
is it possible to copy my chatbot and alerts settings from my Twitch streamelements to Youtube streamelements?
(i'm sorry if this is already asked, I didn't see it in the brief (30 minutes) of searching i've done)
Overlays can be imported if the channel is connected
Everything else has to be transferred manually
are there any docs about connecting channels?

Hi everyone, I'm new here and need some support with SE.Pay for my YT channel
sry If I'm posting in the wrong channel as I said I'm new here ✌️
I've more than 100 subs and from Germany but still get the message that my channel may be too small or that I'm in a country not being supported
Getting error 400 account restricted when trying to log into streamelements with my youtube account. Any fix? Saw a few other posts in the search but no answer
is there anybody here who can give me a walk through to adding a chat box to my stream on OBS.Live? I've been trying for hours and I just can't get it to work. this is driving me crazy!!
Hi guys, can anyone help me fix an issue where my stream elements is not detecting new subscribers I am getting on my youtube account?
Been asking for days don't think there is a fix, I recently found if a person set there channel to be private when subscribe it won't pick it up
hey may i get some help
ive tried multiple youtube videos but for some reason my subscriber alert box doesnt pop up when a new subscriber subs and it doesnt come into my feed ive got the bot connected to the live chat ive followed multiple youtubers on this issue but non of their solution worked
hey all you awesome people. I was wondering if someone could help. I am making the switch from Twitch to YT. I am also using a different Email for each platform. Is there a way to transfer over all my overlays from my twitch profile to my new Youtube one (that is on a separate email)?
im having the same issue.
thank god its not just me uh ive been at this for like hr and half
see the response from Suraruiso to my first message. Someone also told me last night that if someone has their subscriptions set to private on their youtube channel, then it wont show in streamelements. It will show on your sub count for your channel tho
thats the thing ive turned that off not too long ago as ive seen a video about that and ive got one of my mates to test it and still nothing like eh
My next issue is I am having a massive problem with stream quality. I have tried streaming to YT and twitch with the same settings except for the required bitrates. Twitch is immaculate, but the YT stream is getting a lot of artifacting for no apparent reason
thats strange. Ive got a ticket logged with youtube help. hopefully they can provide some insite
if you like i can send you a dm with the streaming settings ive found that works for my pc
for some weird reason SL bot thought I went live when I didn't? (was a premiere but still)
Hello, so I am migrating from Twitch to Youtube Gaming, however when I linked my Youtube Account to my current account. I lost all bot commands. Is there a way to migrate that to my Youtube Gaming Profile?
hey there. is the VIP usergroup YouTube Members?
ie. if i turn link protection on but exclude the VIP usergroup, can YouTube Members post links?
pls tag me if you respond
is there a way to transfer overlays from my twitch account to youtube?
Yes, if they are linked you can duplicate an overlay (from "My Overlays" screen) and choose to duplicate it to the YT account.
If they are not linked, we can link them for you. 🙂

Instead of adding my youtube account to my twitch account, I opened a separate account. Now I cannot add it because it's already claimed. How can I fix this?
@restive tangleBot response above
Thanks. 2nd question. Had I not made that error, would it act the same way as the merge?
You would've simply added it the way you did.
In terms of data sharing. Because I went to delete the YT account and try to add it to the twitch account like i shouldve done, but I didnt want to make another error so...that's why I came here lol
The result would be the same, yes.
Got it, thanks.
Can I stream to YouTube using OBS and still receive donations's through Stream Elements??
Yes. There's no correlation between them. Getting notifications for them would require overlays or chat notifications from the bot.
It's just kinda sad that no one answered this question. I and another person(making 3 people) have the same problem and I don't think its an issue with Google.
Unfornately this appears to be something new that has appeared and as not many (if any to be honest) of us support/staff use youtube it's a little hard as we primarily focus on other channels that we can answer with.
With that being said it's holiday week for the most part where the office is so definite dev interaction is lower than usual.
However I will pass this along to staff and have them poke the devs to investigate.
Hello, I have just started with streamelements , I have a larger following on TIKTOK. Am I able to livestream from my tiktok account with streamelements at the same time as youtube and facebook? thanks
Thanks, would love to hear of any way to fix this.
I accidentally claimed a secondary youtube channel by logging into it. Can you delete this or move it to my main account?

hey guys, the stream chat doesnt remove deleted messages off the screen. is this normal?
Hello, I have just started with streamelements , I have a larger following on TIKTOK. Am I able to livestream from my tiktok account with streamelements at the same time as youtube and facebook? thanks
We don't provide multiplatform streaming tools, although some people use our overlays with tools like lightstream. Also, we don't have TikTok integration right now.
thanks very much
Sound isn't coming through in my game stream

If you are not hearing your alerts and/or Media Request, you are most likely using the Control Audio via OBS option in your browser source properties.
To make sure you hear the alerts and the stream also hears them, follow along the screenshot bellow.

I need to contact someone about fixing my SE part of my account. I meet the requirements but its not unlocked
Can you please clarify what you mean by SE part?
it wont let me accept credit card payments , my twitch account does. I moved over to youtube and had to setup a new account
and i have a few more problems with my streamelements dash
if someone could help by DM's that would be great
@past beacon
We don't really do DMs. What is the issue with the credit card payments exactly?
Hi! I have been streaming on YouTube but I noticed nothing appears on my activity feed. My account is linked since 2019, I did activate the members monetization 2 weeks ago. What am I doing wrong?
me again, so its only a question, can you from SE delete the strange twitch sub emotes that show up on my youtube kappagen config (i only ask , only if i really want to have them deleted) ? because to the strange thing that they are shown, i cant see them by myself in any config of the kappa and they are also not on youtube added.

Hello, with German support I have to wait way too long, can someone please help me here, need help from support? I need to reconnect my YouTube because I can not link to YouTube with my SE account connected to twitch
I use DeepL for translation, by the way
Hi. I remember you in tickets, the issue is resolved? Or do you still require assistance?
does the chatbot and chat window only work when im actually live?
because i dont see my messages on my obs overlay
That is correct.
so it only respons when im live yes?
Yes
a few month ago youtube wouldnt show the subscriber alerts on time is it still like this or did they fix it?
thx fam
so it still is like that thx
but how does it work for popular streamers they arent delayed or are they?
Unfortunately I don't stream on youtube or have access to the actual deets so that's all I can say.
aight
Hey can anyone help me with a capture card to xbox series x
whats the prob
The display won’t show on my tv when I have it plugged up
Thru the capture card
It’s a razer ripsaw hd
Is there a way to have an event list of youtube subs?
Or will that be delayed like sub alerts?
It would be delayed, as the sub information gets to us at a delay
Hey, can someone help? So when I'm streaming on Youtube and get a new alert (new sub in this case), my sub label overlay will pause and the alert overlay wont show. Im using SE alertbox and labels.
Does Chat bot for YouTube only work when you are live? Do I need to mod the bot because none of the commands are working on my channel. Could use the help.
Yes, it needs to be a live, public stream
@strong surge Thank you... I was curious because it has options for offline events but it wasn't working at all. Thanks for the response! ❤️
Hello, my music will not play automatically
Are notifications working for youtube yet? I tried streaming once on YouTube but my notifications wouldn't work. I was told that it was an error that was trying to be fixed but that was 6 months ago. I want to try youtube again but only if my notifications will work
See my pinned message. Unfortunately that's by design.
Well dang
Can anyone help me with my ripsaw capture card or not?

I'm trying to use the live chat widget but seems like it doesn't show any messages. Even the ones that I type in the chat are not appearing.
Can you help me with this issue, maybe a proper reference to setup this correctly would be really cool.
*btw I may not be the first one to ask this. If so, apologies to that 🙂
Stream has to be public.
thanx a lot for the response!.

Huhu,
I don't know if I'm right here. I logged in via YouTube and nothing works. For the overlay that goes on Twitch, it says "Uh-oh....
Overlay does not exist" when I try to edit it. In OBS Live it doesn't connect to my YouTube account either. The chat bot can't be activated either. Does anyone have a tip on what this could be?
So merging of accounts: you cannot create one overlay that can get events from both services/accounts? Do you then have to create an overlay for each account?
@onyx chasm correct on #1
And because they have no interaction with another they can and will clash if triggered at the same time.
Yeah I see. Is there a common solution for this? Or rather, how do other people handle this multiple service/account notification thing?
There is no solution and there is no way to cleanly handle it.
Understood. Thanks for the super fast and helpful info. Appreciate it.
Hi, I shared my account ID 2 days ago related to youtube. Did someone looked into it?
My issue is simple, my activity feed is empty even after having new members.
@fringe moss ⤵️
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
Lol answering to a bot, I need to wake up
There is another factor that may prevent us from getting events
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.
This seems to have affected member events as well, but not always
Thanks for answering Keizar.
I have been testing the platform for 3 weeks now, around 20 memberships just did not show up. No alert and not showing in the activity feed.
Hi

What should I do? Should I re link my account to stream elements? How do we solve this?
Let's check everything - can you provide the account ID from that page?
https://streamelements.com/dashboard/account/channels
@near stag 5d0561046b1a61f7752ba1d8
Confirmed that the system does not show any members and only one event from September 3rd.
I would suggest logging out and back in and test that events come in on the next public livestream.
We can't do much when YouTube is not sending events properly in this case.
No, with a simple relog - no data will be affected that is already present on our site
Ok thanks
Will try that and keep you up to date
@near stag Just to confirm, the best way to log out and log in again is to remove access to StreamElements within my brand google account?
Logging out and logging back in would be a start.
Then we can test it and move on
When you say logging and logging back, can you explain the process in detail?
Log out from the StreamElements website and log back in
That usually refreshes the connection to the platform.
I have done that multiple times during the last 3 weeks and it did nothing
I would suggest removing StreamElements from the access list on that site:
https://myaccount.google.com/permissions
Make sure you are logged in with your YT
then relog and test it
ok got it*
@near stag are the membership activation retro active? Or does it need to happens after linking the accounts?
Not retroactive, old events will not appear - you need to test that with new events from a new public livestream
Got it. Thanks
Have you ever heard about issues related to youtube gaming and membership notifications?
Nope, should work as expected
Ok, thanks again for your time. Have a great rest of your day
Thanks, you too!
Wondering if StreamElements is keeping up with the rapid changes YouTube is making to their streaming services, and when we can see StreamElements supporting these changes?
Two notable ones: 1) Loyalty system - we have points on Twitch, we don't have them on YouTube yet. StreamLabs does, so it's certainly possible to do.
and 2) Membership Milestones was just announced. Currently, we get notifications on new memberships - but milestones are being ignored by the bot and alert system.
Ok why does obs live crash everytime I try to use the Youtube live dashboard settings
any update on that plug in for OBS that lets us read chat inside obs instead of having to keep the YT dashboard up?
@pure zodiac ⤵️
A crash log is required to investigate the cause of your issue. Please upload the last crash log.
- In OBS, click the Help menu
- Select Crash Reports and then Upload Last Crash Report
- Copy the URL and paste it to the chat here.
Note: If you are not able to follow the above steps, open your file explorer and go here: %appdata%\obs-studio\crashes and provide the last listed file.
Evening, Trying to get my chatbot to work on youtube, how do I set it as a moderator to work within my chat?
@prime thicket ⤵️
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 updated my obs yesterday
now it doesnt work when i press Start Streaming it buffers for a long time
and if i alt tab it freezes and goes not responding mode
What OBS and OBS.Live versions do you have? OBS version is at the top left, OBS.Live at the bottom right.

My streamelements bot effed off my stream 🤔
Which brings the question of how can I bring it back?
nvm looks like just the timers have broken
Hi, is there a possibility to include in the live stream one comment? A function similar to the one in streamyard where you can select a comment and it appears in the live stream
my streamelementes doesn't have loyalty store, how do I enable?
Not available for YouTube.
No idea.
How are you currently trying to go live?
im hitting "Create a new YouTube Live Video with these settings"
strange one this. how do I Hide a particular user from the chat overlay? for example a chat bot, would I have to use channel ID name rather than username for example?
Try to click on the "Live Video Settings" button in the chat dock and use the 2nd option from the pop up "Use these settings" to go live.
The chat pulls from the main chat so they would have to be absent from the main chat
im really sorry to bother you, when I click "live video settings" the only other option I have is "Go live with youtube live dashboard settings" and when I do that I can't seem to find my stream anywhere
@long flare ⤵️
StreamElements menu, on top of OBS > Logout > Login
tried this aswell
I can't make my notifications and alerts work on youtube. It seems like it doesnt see the changes (new members, followers, superchats, etc.)
I also can't edit my overlays on the site.
Hello, I'm having trouble connecting my branded YouTube channel (limited to YouTube) Google is sending me this time message.

Good afternoon. I saw there was a note on the SE.pay section to notify support if I met the requirements (US based and currently 163 subs). Here is my StreamElements account ID: 6151b33b43ebf17698ff5b88
@thick eagle And presto .... It appears.
@main vector Thank you
I also have a question regarding the link people would use to tip. I used to stream on Twitch but have moved to YT. Is there any way to close my Twitch "account" with SE and have only the YT one? Main reason is the tipping link would now be
https://streamelements.com/metalgamergeek-3230/tip instead of
https://streamelements.com/metalgamergeek/tip.
Do you have anything on the twitch account that you care to save or is it just delete and forget?
Hello #helpdesk-youtube , I am in need of merging two streamelements accounts. I joined the wrong one on accident and when I logged back in, I claimed the channel under the correct channel, but I need both the Twitch channel and the Youtube channel combined so I can utilize the overlays for both channels. I'm wanting to remove Account ID 5eb6b82b5aab2dfac8bcef76 (TimTheTechie), and replace it with Account ID 615217911148fae5d9b5e3fc (TIMOTHYonPC).
@main vector I've already ported over the commands I wanted to use. Everything is just delete and forget at this point on the Twitch side
Disregarding what the message says click this link to delete your twitch and I'll have instructions for the name change in a sec.
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.
Grab your accountID from here then fill out this form indicating what you watn to do. https://streamelements.com/contact
Please provide your account ID found at the top of this page: https://streamelements.com/dashboard/account/channels This ID is public info and safe to share here.

Hey guys. does anyone know how to get a custom youtube donation link for stream elements? my old one for twitch used to be my streamelements.com/username/tip
but now my YT one is streamelements.com/username-542
My trovo acct was connected to my stream elements acct and trovo banned my channel. Is there another way i can access my Se account?
@deep cedar there's a tab on the stream elements page where you link your PayPal account on the to complete the setup and it should prepopulate a stream elements link on your tubers home page for people to donate
I logged in with YouTube and Twitch on the same SE account is there not a way to import/export commands from one to the other?
Commands cannot be moved across accounts
Are timmers not working for youtube? Commands seem to word fine but timmers never seem to get posted
I can’t get my alerts to work please help
Are the timer intervals being followed?
Can you describe the issues with your alerts?
some one subs to my channel and it does not pop up in the alertbox
@vague raft I believe that is because of YouTube's privacy policy. By default I think a YT account is set to not show what channels they're subscribed to, which will not trigger the alerts. Only if a user had that option disabled will their alert come through
@vague raft It happens to me and a friend of mine. Some come through (public / brand accounts) and others don't (private accounts)
Ok thanks
Bot is not comming to my stream
@dim cairn ⤵️
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.
no I set it to a 25min timer and after a 4 hour stream nothing got posted
HI! I have a second YT channel on the same account... Can I use the same StreamElements account for both? How do I add this other channel?
well... I found the "add YT channel" button... but When I try, I get an error: "Error 400: invalid_request
Account restricted"
Is the problem on my part, on YT or on StreamElements?
Please any tool or plug in to display comments in the live stream?
Have you tried adding the Stream Chat widget on your overlay? This should work on public streams.
How can I change my tipping link, for some reason it's this: https://streamelements.com/teajae-6356/tip for youtube and https://streamelements.com/dtm_juju/tip for twitch. is there a way that I can have them both the same link? Would rather them both be https://streamelements.com/dtm_juju/tip
@drowsy ocean nope. Links are specific to platforms and only work with 1.
Could this be why stream elements locks up OBS when I press the stream button? We are testing using both a private and unlisted stream in YT and it locks every time, OBS studio is version 27.0.1 let me know if you need more information, I did submit a "report this issue" under streamElements help.
Hi! I cannot seem to add StreamElements chat bot to my YouTube channel. It says the account has already been claimed, but I have no memory of claiming it anywhere else, as it's a rather new channel. I need help claiming it so that I can connect it with YT chat. Many thanks! 😄
When attempting to stream to YT, I open the livestream on YT, login to my streamelements account, and then choose start streaming on the OBS page and OBS locks up and never starts the stream, if I do not login to StreamElements and choose Start Stream from OBS it works normally but without activity feed and chat. I am on version 27.1.1 of OBS studio, and OBSLive version 21.8.5.765 any insights would be greatly appreciated. Never mind we figured it out 🙂
Hey, what did you do to fix this problem ? I had this exact issue today when i started my stream.
Trying to login to to Streamelements for YouTube to add some commands and when it tries to go to the dashboard I get a blank screen in my browser . Any help would be appreciated
Anyone else have issues with the obs.live youtube chat dock flickering when the stream is live?
Can anyone tell me why the pop up doesn't appear now before I go live? It doesn't give me the option to use the options I have selected on YT Studio now since the update.
Did you update to 27.1 while using OBS.Live?
Yeah, I opened up OBS and then it gave me the first updater and then the LIVE one afterwards
The stream works okay, just curious as to why that pop up window has gone
allow streamelements to control the stream and it works, I was trying to do it manually.
Hello, I am using StreamElements with my YT channel (1500 subscribers) and I can't enable SE.Pay. I meet all the requirements. Any help?

Hi. I am new to OBS Studio with OBS.Live... but am familiar with using SLOBS. I just transferred and went to set up my alertbox. From my perspective, it all seems to be set up perfectly. With the alertbox being its own browser source independent from the overlay. When i test it out, or "emulate" it as its called, sometimes the audio will work, which is just the read back, and sometimes it does not; however, neither the animation nor the audio work while live onstream. Is there a common issue that I could check? My streamelements ID is: 6143c4fbe027a16c187a84ee
For example, I had someone subscribe to my channel the last two nights. No alert ever came thru nor does it show on the dashboard of StreamElements.com
Apologies if this question was asked the wrong way or in the wrong place, new here and to SE.
Scrolling up I see a LOT of ppl who have asked questions and received no response or answers... is this Discord even legit? Is there a better way to get SE support?
Hello, is it possible to send Text in all streams (more then 1 streams) simultaneously in 1 YouTube channel by timer using Chat Bot?
When I try Chat Bot it no send any text (guess cause stream more then 1)
thanks
Hi there. Sorry for the delay. Please see this post for sub alerts not coming up: #helpdesk-youtube message
you mean you have channels to merge?
Can you please explain a bit more what you're trying to do? What do you mean by "more than 1 stream"?
If I have on 1 channel, for example 2 live streams running same time. And I want chat bot send text notes to all of them each 5 min, for example.
To all live streams which live on channel, not in 1 directly
anyone?
could you maybe provide a clip or a screen capture of this? 
i will next time i go live if i dont have a seizure taking it first.
We don't support multiplatform streaming.
The streams where I got subs were longer than 4 hours. Still no alert. I have never heard anyone else say it takes 4 hours for the alerts to show up. That is crazy. Why have an alert box at all if it takes 4 hours
That's the thing I hate the most about YT streaming. I like to welcome all new subs. :/
So is that normal? Does YT sub alert not work with StreamElements?
the delay of up to 4 hours really sucks since I normally do just 3, so they almost never pop up
Oh wow. Someone told me that but I thought that was a joke.
nope, unfortunately they went that route. If they want to compete with twitch they will need to make sub alerts fast like on Twitch
I feel like I have seen other YouTubers have notifications for subs… but maybe im getting that confused with some other alert
maybe bigger yt'ers have higher priority? dunno
its so nice to be able to stream at 1440p60 (I have the upload for it) but not being able to welcome new "Pack members" makes me sad
Hey so I’m new to YouTube and I think someone else had this problem…while I’m live streaming none of my alerts go off for subs. So I don’t know who subs and can’t thank them which isn’t good for a new streamer. Any fix?
Apparently this is the way….
unfortunately, this is the way the youtube api works, that data is delayed on their end so there's not much we can do
I am having trouble with connecting to the servers.
Anyone available?
Can you describe what issue you're running into a bit more?
How are you uninstalling?
Through control panel like you normally do to safely uninstall programs.
And are you uninstalling OBS,Live or OBS Studio first?
I didn't know it mattered.
I did it in the reverse removing OBS Studios first and then Live and the uninstall wizard crashes.
You posted an updated last night and it messed everything up. Streamlabs wasn't able to access the servers.
Reinstalled everything and still have issues connecting to the server.
Is this with the instillation, or have you gotten past that to another part?
Let me start over. Yesterday I was setting up a live stream for my brother's channel Acme Studios. There was an update before I could set everything up. I went live and streamed for over an hour when it disconnected from the server. I haven't been able to access the server since and I have been trying everything to fix the issue. I even changed servers today none of the servers work leading to a problem with the OBS platform.
Am I still getting help?
it stopped at the end when i stopped the stream
it looks like someone had a similar issue, it might be something our dev team is looking at. Let me check and see
Sounds good
I'm trying to delete Stream Elements from my PC and it's stuck any ideas?
Anybody?
Can you hit show details to see if it says why it failed?
say's failed restoring OBS Studio 27.1.1
my internet is fine but obs is not functioning it takes only < 1000 kb/s in the middle of the stream
doest work after i restart my pc and internet too

Dropped Frames means that you have a bad connection between your device and the streaming platform and most likely something related to your ISP not handling the connection properly.
Speed tests usually cannot help solve this problem and its best to use this guide: https://obsproject.com/wiki/Dropped-Frames-and-General-Connection-Issues
If you stream to twitch, use the !twitchtest command and do a connection test to your regional servers.
has this happened to anyone's youtube chat dock from obs.live when streaming on youtube?
try restarting the obs
happens every time i stream. restarting doesnt work
happened before and after the update
have you tried to logout and log back in?
yes
try this 1. Close OBS
2. Delete the contents of these folders: %appdata%\obs-studio\plugin_config\obs-browser\cache %appdata%\obs-studio\plugin_config\obs-browser\profile_cookies
3. Open OBS again
that didn't work, but i managed to fix it. in addition to the obs.live update yesterday, obs also updated and gave me the option to connect my youtube account instead of using a custom rtmp link
seems like the rtmp link may have been the issue. connecting my youtube account doesnt make the chat window flicker when going live anymore
so does anyone have any feedback on this?
if it doesnt uninstall the traditional way, try using powershell to uninstall
and how would I do that?
open up powershell and run the uninstall command. google the command and fill in the blanks with obs.live
Anyone know of a good step by step guide to setting up OBS Live with youtube
If you got the new update you won't be able to get on because I am having issues with connection to the server. It doesn't matter what server you choose.
I mean not multiplatform, but 1 platform 2 streams (multistream), but as I understand also not supported
hey guys i am looking to close my stream elements youtube account and facebook account then move both to my main account how do i go about doing this

Ahh then on my main account i can just add it

hello @viral pond i am live on yt but streamalelements not showing my active feed....can you please help me.??
its show "you have no stream active"
@daring seal plz help ASAP.. THNK YOU
i'm just a user. but the SE team will just tell you that there's a 4 hour delay on alerts/activity. plus, if the person has their settings set to private, you won't see any activity from them
a good portion of youtube users have their settings set to private, so you won't see a lot of subs/activity on your feed
