Please contact us via email for support with your campaign or sponsorship. You can use our contact form here: https://streamelements.com/contact Thank you.
Click that link then send this for both the accounts you want to switch between
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.
On our website - when you log in, you get to the dashboard, you have to press the join channel button
So I should send a support ticket with the 2 JWT tokens?
I dont see join channel
@near stag there is no join channel button its already linked to my youtube channel and has been for some time
so should I explain everything or just say "oh I want to switch accs I want this JWT token to have the /pedrocas and this jwt token to have /pedrocaaz-449"
Press the part channel button, then it turns into the join channel button @versed tangle
Yes Pedro.
This will remove the bot and add it again @versed tangle
ah cool
And then you need to test it on a public livestream
Yes explain it all or yes just ask for them to swap?
both
the bot will not join private/unlisted streams on YT
I am an fool
I forgot to add the bot the first time to my moderators list
hang on
does the bot command only work when its live
on youtube
Yep. Online on live and public livestreams
the bot is unable to join unlisted streams etc.
Blame YT 🙂
Yes indeed
Youtube is sometimes the bane of my life shall we say
Other times I even loose subscribers because I find out that YouTube has gotten bots to subscribe to me
aint that something
Hi, I meet the requirements for SE.Pay, however I am logged in with a YouTube account, so it is not being automatically detected.
Account ID: 6195a3931ced79bd1c2c7497
should be now enabled 😄
Had to logout/in but it is now enabled, thank you for your help. 
Looking for some assistance. I had a viewer become a member, but there is no display in the activity feed nor on the streamelements website. I know there has been an issue with Youtube not showing new subscribers, but is this also an issue with members?
Guys... do you know how to make OBS.Live select a scheduled stream and start it? it was supposed to start now but it crashed OBS
hey guys im new here im trying to create a merch store and i have already uploaded a design and i wanted to redo and make another design do do i do that?
and hey hows it going?! i did not know you where here @red orbit
i'm desperate to start my stream and now I'll have to reboot while people are waiting 
aww
is "recurrent membership" alerts enabled for StreamElements? and is the attached message readable for TTS also?
how can i upload another design on stream Elements merch store?!
You should be able to edit the design of the items by going to them and changing the image in the editor
Don't believe OBS.Live has a feature like that, but let me check to be sure
but what happens if i delete my design's?
As in can they be recovered?
no im trying to figure out a way to upload a new design but i dont know how

OBS wont let me game capture, I just reinstalled the whole thing, still doesn't work, neither in administration
when i try to link my youtube account to streamelements this pops up
i don't know what it means by "account restricted"
@gritty basalt ⤵️
Obs.live is a plugin for OBS Studio for the best OBS support, please join their Official Discord @ https://discord.gg/obsproject
We are currently looking into this issue.
I just got an email about being able to do things for twitch subs. Is there anything like that for youtube streamers?
Something with the merch store
Timers are not working set to online 0 lines 30 min intervals
but commands are working
its ok I accidentally blocked links
Can somebody please help me?
I'm trying to setup a !drop command for my YouTube subscribers to drop there YouTube channel. I used to use Nightbot and it used to work, when I was using it.
it might be something available in the future but it's just for twitch subs for now
Ah okay thanks
what was the syntax on nightbot?
Another question I have. On the stream elements obs plugin, when I go to manage broadcast and create a new one, there isn't a section to enter what game you are playing when you select the gaming category. Why is that?
@narrow locust it was like this Please check out $(userid) at YouTube website /channel/$(userid)
try replacing $(userid) with ${channel}
@narrow locust all I get is this Please check out ryanwilliams at YouTube website /channel/ryanwilliams <<-- that's not my channel.
ohh, you want to pull the long string for the URL?
Yes basically when somebody types drop it'll drop their YT channel, if you get me.
Could it be done on SE like NB?
I get you, unfortunately I don't think that we have that as a variable
@narrow locust Damm it 😦 you should do one just like what Nightbot did for me.
Oh shoot, must be because OBS changed a bit after the last update
I had to uninstall the plugin to be able to start my stream
It sucks that on the YTside. You barely get anything
What's the issue?
That is if your able to log in. I've tried my brand account and the owner account. The brand account gets error 400 while the owner account gets booted to the homepage with an error in the URL stating "something went wrong try again later"
It's the Connection port I believe is the issue
Cause I'm been able to get in yesterday but now it's barely working to log in
They probably have a lot of people coming it and the servers simply can't keep up with log ins
Will give it a shot tomorrow
I know on August 4th 2021, YouTube did make any brand accounts that were made after that date exclusive to YouTube. Mine was made early this month.
I was told it's an issue with brand accounts that they are working on.
No eta on the fix so it's hard to say when this will be working for some accounts.
Yeah. We have new and old users coming back
At least in able to record stuff fine
So I can wait a bit longer before I stream again
I'm not going to agree with that. I'm not here to pressure the devs.
I can wait to stream as well. Besides... I had a weird accident happen today that forced that. The hdmi cable that goes to console for the capture card broke. Oops.
Ouch. Sorry to hear much
Hope you get a new one
Might have to buy one myself just to be safe for winter
It's cool as far as the workflow thing. I'm sure it will balance out with time. This influx of new members will eventually die down. Btw, so we don't continue to spam this channel, you wanna take this to #general-chat ?
No problem man.
our devs are still investigating the 400 error, I've pinged them again to see if there are any updates
why is there no loyalty system in youtube bot setttings
it's just a twitch feature for the time being
will you ever add it to yt
not planned for now
are the SE staff on here the same people I would be talking to via their twitter support account?
Mostly, yes!
Ahhh okay, just wondering because a little more than a month ago I had reported an issue to the twitter support. They said they forwarded it over to the devs (not sure how closely ya'll work with them). But I haven't been able to get any updates on how the fix for it is going. I can't edit any of my overlays for whatever reason. Just wondering if I could possibly get an update on that? Must have been a pretty complicated issue to take this long 👀
Can you let me know your account ID? Or a ticket number if you have one.
It was just through twitter so no ticket ID but my user on there is Xelbak_
and if it helps I talked to a sk1ll and a Roman
I see the message now. I will try to get some updates on this, but it looks like they are still looking into it
Don't mean to post again but noticed a lot has gone by since my first post.
Looking for some assistance. I had a viewer become a member, but there is no display in the activity feed nor on the streamelements website. I know there has been an issue with Youtube not showing new subscribers, but is this also an issue with members? Can provide screenshots of the activity feed if needed. My alert still played this stream when someone subbed. I triple checked all my overlays to make sure I didn't miss something.
The YouTube delays can effect multiple events outside of subs, so the member events can be delayed as well
That smells.... Thank you though for the clarification
im having issues with stream elements im trying to stream to multiple platforms at once but it wont let me it will only allow me to stream to youtube
We don't support multistreaming.
dang that sucks
I need to ask this again i get error streamelements Error 400: invalid_request.
When i try to login to my gmail account, i get sent right back to login page.
When i try to use the youtube channel to log in with i get the actual error.
I had a mod contact me saying this is a known issue, but i read that this is from 2019... 😦
I don't know what to do, should i try setup alerts and things direct in obs and just ignore streamelements? I don't really want to tbh.
adding this
Yesterday a friend of mine subed to my channel from two accounts to test my alerts and stuff. Stream Elements never registered either of those subs. Not even on the dashboard. In fact the dashboard isn't even tracking the subs and stuff I already do have.
Hey so I’m not sure if the chat widget works. I did an unlisted stream to test it, but when I typed in the chat it didn’t show up in the widget. Does the fact that the stream was unlisted have anything to do with it or is it some other issue?
Set the chat to Live Chat instead of Top Chat
trust me, it's a youtube thing not an SE thing.
I think it was at Live Chat at the time but I also have a poor memory; I’ll keep this and what sudo said in mind. Thanks!
Yeah it won't be that it was unlisted because I did an unlisted stream yesterday and had a few friends type in the chat. Nothing showed up until I switched that setting 😛
hi, im new to stream elements, how do i set up my stream starting soon, its not the right size
Try to right click on the source, go to properties, and adjust the size in pixels there.
The default resolution for StreamElements overlays (theme and custom) is 1920x1080. Please add them in OBS at their full resolution and use CTRL+F to fit to screen if necessary. You can then downscale your stream in OBS settings > Video if you'd like https://i.imgur.com/6bWXxjR.png
that worked 🙂 tysm!
No problem lol. You'll need to do that for all browser sources.
How to get this thing working?
Now playing: {title}
It's not showing my game name
hey Zethnos, this is caused by Youtube currently, the delay in sub notification: #helpdesk-youtube message
Yeah but it's been over 12 hours. That message says up to 4.
I have same problem, but i got answer from Streamelements email:
Hey,
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
Also 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.
@maiden lion Do you have any idea to fix this?
how do i unlink my youtube
Oh... so there is no point in sub alerts then since everyone by default is set to private and doesn't show on the alert.
Unfortunately it is a downside for youtube alerts.
There's a point. Just all of them not show up. Maybe youtube will fix it.....
Can't fix what is intentiontal.
Do the subscribe alerts work on twitch normally?
hmmm I'm going to submit a thing to stream elements suggesting that they display an alert that there is a new anonymous subscriber or something then instead when that happens.
It's not possible at all.
Private subs literally send nothing and the delayed ones come when/if they come.
does anyone know how i can unlink my yt
Is it merged with another platform?
Do you know how to fix this?
@main vector
What widget is that supposed to be as I'm not seeing anything that would do that.
someone help me unlink my youtube from streamelements
You didn't answer my question.
Again.
wdym
Do you have it by itself or with another platform.
what do u mean another platform
twitch, facebook, trovo.....
Ok. Hold 1

Hi. Might be doing something wrong, but figured I'd ask. I'm trying to import some of my overlays from my existing SE Twitch account to my SE YouTube account (both linked), however, the option is greyed out, and I can't pick it. Is there something I'm missing or doing wrong? Thanks in advance! (Please ping when respond to ensure I see it).
Hi hi, I'm having an issue with youtube memberships failing to show up in my activity feed. I'm pretty new to youtube streaming, switched from twitch but have gained around 10 new members, to which none of them have popped up as alerts nor show up in my activity feed. i have the alert ticked to show on the overlay editor, and it's filtered to show in the activity feed but streamelements doesn't recognize that i have any. very confused as to why this is :(
feel bad with people joining member and it not showing up, i see them do it in the live chat but no alert :(
all the others alerts like superchats, tips n stuff show but members don't
@fluid citrus what browser are you using?
Edge
try this:
Please logout of StreamElements at https://streamelements.com/logout and then login again to your account (Twitch/YouTube/Facebook).
Dashboard of my channel is ok, but the channel if i take care don't charge
I already tried to change browsers too
@fluid citrus You and the streamers have to do that.
How do I log out of my streamelements youtube account in OBS
StreamElements menu > Logout
oh thanks
Are you bulgarian?
No
Where are you from?
Oh, alright, i'll ask him to do it, thanks
Hey, is it possible to create donation goal widget for both SuperChat and regural tips (combined)?
Hey guys, I can't seem to get the tipping settings to load up on Chrome. It appears briefly and then disappears. Also, when I enter my link to the actual tipping page, that doesn't show anything, but when I use chrome on my mobile phone, it works perfectly okay. I've cleared the cache and log out and in and it still won't work. Any ideas please?
I'm a streamer with over 100 followers, how may I use SE.Pay?

I dided iteded
5f39171ff07ad330808fe575
fixed the issue nvm :)
It’s me again; I wanted to test that the chat widget was working, so I did an unlisted stream. While it didn’t work (as someone mentioned above with unlisted streams being a factor), another thing that happened was that the OBS.live chat doc was constantly flickering between “waiting for your stream to go live”, and the.. default screen(?). I really hope I’m wrong that I’m going to have to be public to even check if it works, but still.... (also would this go into the OBS.live channel instead?)
In order for our bot to be active, it will have to be a live public stream. Otherwise, the system won't be able to see it
Very cool, thank you for the wisdom
I see this feature still doesn't exist. I created a request post - https://streamelements.helprace.com/i2766-add-option-to-create-combined-superchat-tips-donation-goal-and-labels
Has the invalid request when connecting a YouTube brand account been fixed?
It has not unfortunately.
Is there a way to move all my sources/scenes over to another laptop
Our Superchats for our stream aren't showing up as alerts or labels right now. I can resend past alerts from the Activity feed. We are live now
@limpid sand according to messages from some staff in other channels, there is a known problem with alerts right now
thank you
and they said that they sent a note to the developers about it
hello, i cant access dashboard/loyalty with a youtube account on streamelements. is it only available for twitch users?
Loyalty is only for Twitch at this moment.
thank you so much!!
Just started working again, all the alerts came in at once
No
Hello, I'm having trouble accessing the dashboard of a channel I'm bot supervisor at, it just shows me a white screen, not icons, nothing, I already tried deleting the cache and cookies but it doesn't work, I tried it on three browsers already (Chrome, Brave and Vivaldi, haven't tried on Firefox but I'm about to, I'll let you know how it goes) and nothing.
I can access my dashboard and other things just fine, I can also access most of her features (profile, commands, overview) just fine, but when I click on her dashboard it goes to a white screen and I'm unable to do anything else, I can't logout or anything, I can go back but when I do, my PFP changes into that of the youtuber, indicating that I'm "on her side" as a bot supervisor and I logout (cuz I don't know anyway of changing to my side and, again, I can't access her dashboard where the option would be) to go back to my page but no, the screen goes white again, like I tried entering her dashboard again, my only option at that point is deleting the cookies and log in again.
HELP!
PS: english isn't my 1st language so sorry if it sounds weird
PS2: didn't work on Firefox either
Hi guys, I'm trying to create a streamelements account via YouTube login and I'm getting a Error 400: invalid_request Account restricted. YouTube account is new. Any help please?
I've managed to get around it by creating a new google account + new youtube account and link it with StreamElements before activating 2FA.
hey how do i cheak the new fortnite skin challenge in stream elements please tell
When I enable !8ball command then I save and after refresh website it's disabled

@exotic sand Bot had to be in your channel to do this and because this is for YouTube you have to be live.
Don't ask why but that's just how it works.

Hey everyone, anyone know how I can get emotes to show up in my chat overlay on OBS?

Hello, logging in via youtube ends in an error. Is the error already known?
Error 400: invalid_request
Account restricted
Since I am a developer, I helped myself. At YouTube it is possible to create several brand name channels besides the actual account and when I set one of them as default and want to log in with the other one I get this error.
But I don't want to set the streaming channel as default. The channel I have set as default is used for surfing.
https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/6019090?hl=en @rapid oxide
thanks i responded with a personal massage, issue not solved 😦
Sorry, I'm still testing why I can log in with one brand name and not the other and unfortunately it has nothing to do with the default.
but tho be fair you use most plugin in obs right? So can't you do like another way of logging in then going true youtube if that is the issue? just wondering. Like by passing it somehow.
@sullen token this is a known issue that is currently being investigated by our development team.
@rapid oxide
All Brand Name accounts created on Google after August 4, 2021, carry this status "limited to YouTube" and is therefore restricted.
https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/7001996?hl=en
yeah since 2019 i notice 😦
okej will just have to wait then... 😦
Hey folks. Is there a way to adjust the TTS voice dialogue for certain events? Specifically the announced action component.
YouTube alerts still say SPONSORED the channel when they're memberships now.
I will have to look into this and see if that is an option
why do i get this url
How come when I try to add my activity feed as a custom OBS dock it defaults to twitch? I'm logged into youtube when I copy the URL but then it wants me to log into twitch when it's inside of OBS.
@oak bane ⤵️
StreamElements menu, on top of OBS > Logout > Login
I don't use OBS.live
i need help
What u need help with
so when i go live its like laggy and delayed with obs
Okay what OBS are you using
like what verison?
No what OBS are you using there is different obs
obs studio
Never used obs studio sorry
So idk where to start just wait for one of the mods to support team to come and help sorry I couldn't help
is obs live different
Idk
Just wait for one of the mods or support to help further
ok
I would recommend checking out the OBS discord, as this may be a setting/hardware issue
@bleak mist ⤵️
Obs.live is a plugin for OBS Studio for the best OBS support, please join their Official Discord @ https://discord.gg/obsproject
Just to confirm, what platform are you trying to log in with?
Sorry, I meant like Twitch, Facebook, YouTube
YouTube
And this URL appears after going to the homepage, and trying to login via YouTube?
yes
Do you know if the YouTube account is a brand account?
it is
We are currently looking into the issue with Brand accounts not allowing connections, but there is not ETA on a fix yet.
What about the issue of only twitch activity feed working for custom OBS docks? I'm aware I could just use OBS.Live but I'd rather not personally
about twitch goes in #helpdesk-twitch
I stream on youtube
my issue is that if I copy the url for my activity feed it defaults to twtich in the custom OBS dock
oh
yeah
How are you getting the Activity feed URL?
When I log into my dashboard I right click it and then This frame -> open frame in new tab
that opens the feed in it's own tab and I just copy that url
The URL for the dashboard seems to only link to the Twitch feed from what i've just tested with that method
yeah and the url from the activity feed tab on the dashboard doesn't work at all for docks
wondering if there's anyway for devs to fix that so all platforms can use custom docks not just twitch?
how can i test my stream in private
We can pass that along, but we wouldn't have a projected date for them to look into it
If you are looking to use the bot in the test stream, it would have to be live and public.
i wanted to test alerts and overlays
in my case its not working
and please tell me how to add "manage broadcast" option
Test them in the online editor, you can run tests by clicking on the emulate button that then selecting what you want to test
this will also send them to your browser source, so you can see it in OBS
Trying to import my twitch overlays to youtube. But the button is greyed out anything i'm doing wrong?
You can go to the properties of the overlay and duplicate them to your other linked accounts
thats exactly the solution thanks, kinda confusing to have that "import from other channels" button. Thought i was goin crazy
So just wondering, I've used streamelements for my twitch chat but I'm swapping to youtube, when I setup my overlay for youtube chat, when i test stream chat doesn't appear on the overlay? my test stream is on Unlisted as Private doesn't allow chat, my messages go through youtube side, just not on the actual widget
have you tested it while live?
Yes multiple times
Alerts work perfectly
but Live Chat doesn't
I've tried changing the colors of the font, the size, stroke and spacing to make sure it wasn't just invisible as well
Quick question...how can I change my SE tipping link? I changed my youtube channel name recently and now my SE link is mirrored to my old YT channel name lol Please Help
@atomic cairn ⤵️
Please contact us via email for support with SE.Pay. You can use our contact form here: https://streamelements.com/contact Thank you.
im using SE as my chat bot for twitch but i also stream and upload to youtube. ive been using SE mercury for my YT descriptions and i wanted to start using the SE chat bot for my youtube streams.
i had a separate SE account with my youtube channel and mercury was working fine, i deleted the separate SE account for youtube so that i could merge the YT account with my Twitch SE account (to use the same chatbot commands) and now i cant log into mercury.
What happens when you try?
it just bounces me back to the home page on mercury
Do you get the page where you can choose the YT page you're connecting to?
@worn hamlet yeah i can go through the login but once i choose my youtube channel it bounces back to the homepage
if i choose sign up it does the same thing
Can you log into the YT account in our regular website? i.e. www.streamelements.com?
yeah thats working fine now
If you can log into the website and log into Mercury with the same YT channel, that sounds like a bug. Let me ask the developers.

yes i just tried again
Hi, when i'm streaming on youtube, my activity feed is still twitch, what do i do?
hi im having a similar issue where i cant log into with se with youtube, i cleared cache and everything, it works with another email account, but just not with the one i want, when i log in it just boots me back to the log in page, any ideas on what i can do?

Please logout of StreamElements at https://streamelements.com/logout and then login again to your account (Twitch/YouTube/Facebook).
@viscid ferry ⤵️

doesn't work 😓
streamelements bot commands not working on youtube even though the bot is authorised on the channel
Is the stream public?
yes he's streaming now
@versed tangle ⤵️
To set up the bot for your YouTube stream, please follow these steps:
- Make sure your stream is public. The bot cannot join a private/unlisted stream.
- Your stream must be live for the bot to join the chat.
- Go to https://studio.youtube.com/, click on Settings > Community and add https://youtube.com/c/streamelements or https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjerlCIbLPQwSnYlClkjDXg as a Moderator.
- When live, be sure to look at Live chat instead of Top chat, as Top chat will hide the bot messages.
@versed tangle did he added the bot as a moderator? 👆
all done thanks for the HELP
my obs keep crashing everytime i use "Go Live with YouTube Live Dashboard settings"
and i keep having delay if i use the other option, cant change the latency
Hey Hey, Just asking if anyone has an idea why youtube alerts are not working?
Tried everything but I can't bring it to work
Member for example are not getting displayed in the dashboard of stream elemtnts and are not getting triggered either.
Superchat is getting displayed in the dashboard but the alert itself is also not getting triggered.
The thing is if I retrigger the alert from superchat it does show up
Hey there! Could you please help me. My YouTube events no longer appear in StreamElements.
What I did wrong?
Hello everybody, I do not know where else to go. I checked on Google, YouTube. My issue is quite small, I tried to add my YT channel to my Twitch profile on SE, so they both share the same bot commands, same tip link, same merch link, you got it right? But it tells me the channel is "already claimed"
, so I went to my YT Profile on SE, and I'm looking to close the account as I believe that will fix the issue, right? Thank you for your help! 👍
Does anybody know why none of my alerts work in OBS studios, My stream elements also says I zero subscribers. I've only done one test stream but shouldn't my measly 4 subscribers show lol?
hey guys, I'm having the "channel is already claimed" problem as well. i am trying to add my twitch channel to my existing youtube channel, even though i don't think i am signed in anywhere it tells me the twitch channel is claimed. then if i sign out and sign back in under my twitch channel and try to add my youtube channel it tells me my yt channel is already claimed. any thoughts? thanks a ton!
wow, i've been struggling with this for a full day and minutes after i post that message i figured it out ^ I forgot i had setup a previous account with my twitch channel and even though it was logged out, i needed to log back in, go to channel settings, then security tab. then close my account permanently from there. you can get the token you need by clicking the show secrets toggle on the setting page. hope that helps someone
while i'm here, can anyone tell me if it's possibly to copy and past custom commands between channels? thanks!!
Unfortunately, no
That's too bad, but thanks for the response!
Hi, how do I add alerts to a scene?
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
hey guys, i am able to show store redemptions in the overlay on my Twitch channel but not my youtube one. are we not able to play sounds with commands if we are using SE to stream on YouTube? thanks again!
@bitter eagleIt requires something that isn't available for youtube.
bummer. thanks for the response @main vector
So i can duplicate my overlays from twitch to youtube, but none of the assests like sound files are populated in the "all files" location. So i cant make any alterations unless i find the original files on my computer
I don't have access to SE.Pay and I have over 100 subs, who do I need to contact for help with this?
So I'm a Mac user trying to learn to properly set up streaming for YT, ditched SLOBS after having a couple glitchy first streams. I downloaded OBS Studio and just finished installing StreamElements from the website. I wanted to know if there's a good setup/tutorial for a first time user to get everything set up before going live. I'm still extremely new to streaming so I've been just winging it and trying to find the right YT tutorials since Macs aren't the most popularly used devices for streaming
If you need help with OBS then their official discord has a MacOS support channel @sage spindle
yo so I'm trying to stream on youtube but when I click start stream it shows a blank window and it wont let me go live
Yea but thought to ask about StreamElements here specifically too since it's a plug in, I downloaded it but not sure what to do from here to make sure it was installed right.
Did you schedule your stream first? Either through YouTube or obs/obs.live?
Ahhh okay
Its just blank when I click start stream
Oh weird
Last question , can I export my twitch bot commands to my YouTube bot commands. Remaking hundreds of commands does not seem like fun
Commands have to be moved manually
Hi, I am new on streamelements and I am using obs live . I have two channels right now that I stream on. I would like to know is there a way I can switch between the two thu obs live ? And not have to go straight thru YouTube itself ?
hello, i was wondering if stream elements could be used for multistreaming? like would i be able to have streamelements bot moderate multiple chats at the same time?
@rigid tulip not possible
ok
@inner dune Here's something that can help you #helpdesk-youtube message
perfect i'll try it out thanks
I am looking at the SEPay, it is saying if you live in the US, to contact support to enable the feature. Any help? Thanks in advance
@pallid barn ⤵️
Please contact us via email for support with SE.Pay. You can use our contact form here: https://streamelements.com/contact Thank you.
Hi, how do I add the SE bot to my YT channel?
@hazy sparrow ⤵️
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
want to switch from streamlabs to streamelements and was wondering if there will ever be a loyalty system in the future?
No immediate plans unfortunately.
😢
good evening, need help about the error 400 invalid_request with my new brand account
where are seeing that error?
in the obs or our site?
ok, this is a known issue that is currently being investigated by our development team.
thanks you
my obs keep crashing everytime i use "Go Live with YouTube Live Dashboard settings"
But if i use the other option i got delay 15-20 seconds
Is there a lite way to add the activity list to OBS without OBS.live?
the activity feed is part of the obs.live plugin, it wont work without it
This
Please check latest pinned message
I see, so i cant use this option for now?
And thank you for the answer
have you tried the workaround?
I did, but i got like 15-20 seconds delay on my stream
There is no option to choose ultra low latency
Is that because there's blocks in streamelements.com and streamelements.com/dashboard from loading page data when added as a browser dock manually?
Hello, I was test streaming early today and the chat is not displaying test, I tried to remove SE Chat Bot from ignored users. I am Test Streaming on a Public Stream so I don't know if it's not working just by using OBS 27.1.3's YouTube Integration method, Manage Broadcast -> Select Scheduled Livestream -> Select Broadcast and Start Streaming. I already tried OBS Live Plugin but it does not Start Streaming and it leaves my OBS not responding.
OBS > Settings > Advanced > Scroll down > Enable or disable Browser Source Hardware Acceleration, depending on its current state > Restart OBS
I will try it. I think this is for the issue where I try to Start Streaming with OBS Live and it is not responding.
what obs u using
Regular OBS 27.1.3 with OBS Live installed
okay please try this if this doesn't work please let me know and i will be more then welcome to help out further
Creating a new Livestream did work but the option "Go Live with YouTube Dashboard Setting" left my OBS not responding. I will move over to obslive channel.
I can select existing broadcast and start streaming but the chat is not showing after clicking "Go Live! on YouTube dashboard.
did u do what i said
Yes, I did disable Browser Source Hardware Acceleration, "Go Live with YouTube Dashboard Setting" did not work after Enabling and Disabling BSHA.
what exactly is the issue @hollow plover ?
Hello, the chat widget is not working or showing text after clicking "Go Live" on YouTube dashboard.
Yes, it is set to public
is your bot accepting commands on stream?
Yes, the bot is responding !commands, it took 5 to 8 seconds to reply on live chat
I removed the chat bot from ignored users so that I can test it, but the text is still not showing.
The chat widget on OBS live is bugging between "Waiting for your stream to go live" and "Start streaming to activate chat"
Chat Widget on OBS Live is not working, it flashes between the two screens as mentioned above.
Yes, it is not showing anything
please provide a screenshot of your obs.live
Here. It is flashing but my refresh rate monitor is too fast. Activity Feed is hidden.
try to use the chat window that's built into OBS, rather than the plugin one
Do you mean the Chat Window from built-in OBS? It is working as normal, the OBS Live plugin remained malfunctioning in my end
Adding the acitvity feed as acustom browser dock to OBS just gives me a blank page?
screenshot please
it's a workaround for now, we'll look into the actual issue on our end
So the chat widget will not work on YouTube in the meantime while OBS live plugin is having this issue then...
correct
Okay, the Activity Feed is working, the Chat Dock is still malfunctioning after clicking Go Live. I will follow up if obs live will have an update on this issue.
I finished streaming for today. I will keep in touch later if there will be an update on the issue. Thanks.
No problem
Hi, I've seen there is an issue with going live with OBS.live and youtube settings, I'm wondering if there is a way to use Ultra Low Latency mode when going live using OBS.live settings (the workaround)?
my alerts are not working on stream
I noticed that lately I've been using Streamelements and audio keeps desynching like crazy at times. Any way to fix that issue?
I'm trying to record a Let's play and so far. It's still desynching on audio
I have two channels on YouTube . When I use the live video settings and it asks me create a new YouTube Live Video With these settings it always go to the first channel. How can I make it go to the other one? or is it setup with the main channel / account ?
hi people. Everytime i push the button Start livestrem the hole programm freezes. and i have to stop it, can somebody tell me how i can fix it? please i need help
I'm building out variations for Member Alerts, if I include {tier} in the text, will it actually show the tier's I named in my YT member area? I'm assuming it will, it just doesn't show in the preview.
hello I am having trouble connecting my youtube to stream elements does anybody have any suggestions
Hey everyone. Could someone help me?
My YouTube subscribers do not appear in StreamElements.
I also have a lot of errors in the browser console in StreamElements Dashboard.

Helloo, does streamlabs for youtube have loyalty settings? I'm trying to setup sound reedems but it seems that I can't access the loyalty url from the streamlabs(youtube) dashboard.
not for YouTube. Would have to use another bot/service for that.
How do I copy my alerts from my Twitch to my YouTube?
Nevermind. I figured it out. Wish we could get the "default" cheer video clips to use on the YouTube side of things for superchats.
is there any plugins for OBS that have "In Game HUD overlay" when playing games, like for chat and all. and i am not looking for Re-stream,
XSplit has this natively, but I don't think there's any plugins for OBS.
yeah i use Xsplit atm due to it, but it sound is a bit off to not match OBS 😦
Anyone know how to set it up so I can have a lower third animation come in for example every 5 minutes?
Nerd or Die's Media Looper utility.
I'm having an issue where the Activity Feed which is docked on my OBS Studio is showing my Twitch feed and not my YouTube feed when I'm in my YouTube connected Profile. I tried disconnecting Twitch in that profile but it made no difference.
There used to be a method where you could add the activity feed in as a separate browser dock, and then add the streamelements.com as another browser dock to login and authenticate with your token - but this no longer works as there is a script preventing the main website from loading. Initially loads an off-white page before redirecting to a pure white page, and inspecting the source shows the page content is there but is being replaced with all white.
I asked earlier yesterday if there was still a way to do this without OBS.live and was told that it won't work without the plugin.
So far I've had the above confirmed by four people I've had test it for me, and I've tested on three of my own machines.
Ah ok. So I need to use the plugin? Thats fine with me. 🙂
Apparently, yeah.
Cool. Thanks!
When you initially go live after installing it, tell it to use the dashboard settings and "Do not ask me again".
and don't use the included SE chat dock - it spams the obs-browser.exe process repeatedly with high CPU usage.
oh, good to know! Thanks again.

Hello there, I've been having problems with making the chatbot join my channel, I already made it a moderator and started streaming then I waited for a few minutes (5-10) since it said that it could take a few...but it doesn't join, nothing, not an error message or anything that indicates there's something wrong. any suggestions?
PS: I'm using OBS to stream
oh it's privated
I was just testing it, thought it wouldn't be any problem if I set it up as private
That would be why. Has to be public.
Oh, I see ty
I hope I'm in the correct channel, please tell me if not. I was trying to add my YouTube channel to StreamElements but I got an error it was already claimed (I logged in via Twitch). Sure enough, there is another account I created that I logged in via YouTube. I'm assuming this is why I couldn't claim the channel. So my question is: How can I "migrate" these two StreamElements accounts? Should I just close the account I created with the YouTube login and then claim my YouTube channel on the account I created with a Twitch login?
@graceful inlet couple things.
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
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.
With the 2nd one it's not a delete 1 platform but both of them regardless of what you close.
ok
must be a long couple of things, or else the name checks out and everything was deleted 😉
Hi.
So I've been testing out my widgets for my counters, specifically sub goals for that stream session.
I've been trying to reset the counter to 0. When I reset session data, the count returns to 0, but when I click the emulate sub event again, then it increments from a random number from previous sessions and has different count increments.
I've looked through tutorials with resetting session data, and that does not seem to be working. Even deleting and recreating the overlay does not help.
Any suggestion are appreciated😄
my obs is going in hanged state as soon as i start stream
@brisk badge not the place for that.
Heyo, I'm trying to stream halftime on twitch and halftime on youtube. Only problem I can't seem to figure out is that my activity feed only allows me to connect with my twitch account and not youtube. How do I fix this? Thanks in advance
@sudden hatch ⤵️
StreamElements menu, on top of OBS > Logout > Login
awesome thanks
Hello I am trying to add my new YouTube channel to SE and I receive this error. Is there anything I can do to make it work?
Anyone know why a YT vid i posted yesterday is still "HD Processing"?
@odd vector #helpdesk-youtube message
@thorny osprey You'd have to contact YouTube about that.
anyone knows how to delay labels? 🤔
Thank you
or maybe I am too dumb to see it haha
I'm struggling with logging in, keep getting an error code from google about authorization access when I try to approve StreamElements to access my account
If it is the Error 400 issue, we are looking into this at the moment.
It is, glad to hear it, hopefully its resolved soon
A bot does not talk to me how to do a bot will talk to me on the channel can someone send me a training notebook clear how to do it
@rancid nova ⤵️
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.
There is a possibility that you can send a clear sandbar how to do it on YouTube if you can put the picture that looks like this how to do it with me I did it shows he is a bot name he is not yet
Asked about what I need to do early this morning but I didn't see a reply.
Is there a particular step that is giving you issues?

@strong surge Fathers makes me a bot that does not speak any settings that are not enabled I went into my channel and did everything necessary there and it still does not work yet does not speak it can be connected to a computer or not
But the problem is that they do not answer support
Thanks
I'm not sure I understand, did you add the bot as a channel moderator?
hey guys i was hoping someone could help me ive made a new youtube and i need to link it to my existing account

I've made a chatbox on a streamelements overlay it appears but none of my messages appear in the actual chatbox itself, even when I'm live. is there a fix to this?
is your stream public?
when I attempted it, yes
can you try again now?
pog it works now thanks
I'm confused why stream elements will link to my old yt channel but not my new one
Anyone know why that is?
Is it a brand account (400 error)?
I think so?
my Officer Haileykins one links fine:
but thats my old yt channel
i dont use it anymore
I am choosing RealiSIM Gaming
And it gives me the error
This is the only thing in my way of switching from SLOBS, and I'm confused why it seems like only my realisim gaming account cant link
New brand accounts are having an issue linking with our service, but we are having our devs look into it at the moment
Okay, older ones arent though
Non-brand accounts should be connecting with no issue
Is a Youtube account a brand account?
Because HL Gaming is marked a brand account, but I dont use it, nor have i tried linking it
it was a youtube project that died before it started
@strong surge any eta on a potential fix? no rush, just curious when I could try again with SE
No ETA on the fix quite yet. For finer details on the brand accounts, I'd suggest to check out their support page!
much appriciated
HI, I am still waiting a response for sharing my widgets, where can I contact to know about this?
what the hell kind of drugs are you doing bro?
hi guys. so this is my issue... i set subscriber alert for youtube, and when i use simulation its working fine on obs part, but when i run livestream those alerts never show up... any ideas why is that? And yes, layer is on top, sound and image is in place (im using default one just for test)... but still nothing happens on livestream, just in obs studio.
It's a combination of 2 things beyond our control
The first is users can have their subscriptions set to private so no information is sent to alert of a new sub. No way around this outside of having them set their subscriptions to public beforehand.
The second is youtube has a delay that can range from next to nothing to rather late after a stream may happen if at all.
ok, so i guess will just have to test bit more and see what i get, if not i will try alerts from slobs
They're effected by the same things.
yes, that might be, but that way i can compare and isolate in case that is not an issue... if you understand what i mean
Totally.
anyway, thanks for your time 😉
Hallow so… I was making an overlay and i put the chat on it but will the chat on the overlay sync with every new stream or should I just change it?
@torn pythonIt should work with every stream as long as it is properly detected.
Okie tysm!!!
hi i have that issue , there is something i can do to solve that or just wait till you fix it from your side
It is being investigated so unfortunately all you can do is wait atm.
i c thank u appreciate im w8ing 😄
Good day! i am currently new to streamelements, switched from streamlabs obs. Now my question is does streamelements have like a point system? i dont see it anywhere
Not with youtube unfortunately.
Not yet or?
I'm not aware of any plans but not outright saying never gonna happen.
alright thank you so much !
do you know how i can import my scenes from streamlabs obs to streamelements?
Hello i've seen now that this issue with the Error 400 for brand accounts is being worked on, thanks for that.
Not sure if its related, but just in case it helps in solving the issues, not only does my brand account not work but connecting with my other normal account also doesn't work anymore.
When I try loging in, it just gets me back to the homepage with a URL: streamelements.com/?error=Something went wrong.. please try again later#
I dont' know, is it because i used the same name twice? (with the brand account it doesn't happen there i get the error 400 just to be clear)
My question: Every time I click on start streaming it just opens the streamelements window but its blank, so I have to change the broadcast in obs and stream from obs every time.
I'm experiencing the same issue and I can't link my brand account. All I've ever heard is that they're working on it but there's no update as to what they're doing. I can understand this can be a little impatient but at the same time people are migrating from streamlab so you would think it would make more sense to try to get this fixed since a some of them maybe YouTube brand accounts.
I don't think it's because you're using the same name I think it's because of code that needs to be updated to accommodate the fact that YouTube considers brand accounts to be exclusive to the YouTube platform if created after August 2021. Now if people who created accounts before that are experiencing this issue I'm not sure but it has nothing to do with your actual display name since your channel really is defined by your channel ID or custom URL, if applicable.
I'm not sure if that's correct because I tried using the owner account of a brand account which is an account with a basic channel setup and it won't even let it connect it brings it to a version of the homepage with the URL stating an error please try again later embedded in the URL
I'll ping our devs again and try to get this resolved as soon as possible, or at least try to get more information around this
Okay, cool. Thank you.
@narrow locust That's appreciated. , hopefully we hear something soon, its a bit frustrating to just hear "Its being worked on" "No ETA", makes it seem like its not a priority, especially with an announcement about some new content or something while this issue is happening. This is the last piece of the puzzle to really transition from Streamlabs OBS to OBS Studio
Actually oddly enough, I don't even see an announcement about this issue to let users know what's going on..
Evening all, hope your all ok and safe, I hoping someone can help. I've been using SE on Youtube since moving over from Twitch, my chat works however I've noticed my alerts and activity list dont work,. however I got a new sub this morning while not streaming and that one has appeared on my activity list but new subs live dont show or activate/ any ideas
Hey there, I'm having a weird issue where all of my membership notification are being delayed, I won't see any for aa while and then I'll have 20 pop up in a batch. Any idea what setting could cause this?
Can also confirm it seems limited to memberships, donations are showing up instantly. had the issue happen on 2 streams in a row now
Some recently created brand accounts might not be able to login to StreamElements. Our developers are investigating this issue.
added a pinned message for now, thanks for the heads up!
there's up to 4 hours delay for youtube sub events, this is a yt limitation
is this also true with the memberships?
it should only be limited to subscribers
weird
but it could also affect members
here's an idea of what im getting hit with
so far it seems to be batches of 20+ all at once
most likely related to the same subscribers event limitation, this is how youtube sends the data so it might be delayed on their end
Weird, never done notifications for subs but I didn't have the membership limitation on streamlabs, obviously their software is trashcanned now but I wonder what they did API wise to avoid the delay
is there a way to do the chat overlay with YouTube chat? I have made one but it doesn't seem to work.
@narrow locust no prob man, might help cut down on everyone asking about it, or at the very least you can just hotkey "Check pinned messages" to save hassle
it will only work for public streams
On public streams? Mine are set to public. So I'm sot sure what you mean. @narrow locust
public public and not unlisted?
right, public streams
Yea my streams are public but the overlay isnt working on them. I just switched over from the "other one" for alerts and chat. Just trying to get a feel for it all. Ill re do my overlay and see if maybe I just set it up wrong
hey I re did my whole chat window overlay again from scratch and I have the window appearing in my obs window now. So it should be working now
@narrow locust thanks for the help man
I use a chat widget from NerdOrDie for my chatbox, and when using streamlabs, I get a visible box at all times, even when I'm not streaming. NOW, when I converted to using StreamElements, and using the link for the Chatbox widget from N.O.D, I don't get a visible box at all times, or a functioning one for that matter. Am I doing anything wrong?
Generally, the third party assets should have some instruction on how to make them work with our service. Was there any information you could reference there?
The most I get in terms of info fro the premium packs from NerdOrDie are in the form of a link that takes you to the web and installs the widget. weird thing is, I can't even test the widget in Streamelements? YET I have another chatbox widget that DOES? which I found super odd
how can i get my youtube chat to appear on my obs, i created the overlay in streamelements with the chat box function, saved, clicked the link, copied it and then paste it into the browser source in obs but i can't get any chat to show
Any updates on the Youtube X StreamElements issue
In your scene in OBS is the chat box overlay on top of the other sources?
Hey whenever I type certain words or post my social media link in my youtube live chat, they don't go through. Please help, I am not able to post discord and Instagram link, and I have not blacklisted these words and I have also enables links.

it sure is!
i need help setting up my stream and chat and overlays from scratch I'm a brand new streamer and i have absolutely no clue what to do
Hello guys! I am trying to start with stream elements, but I am stuck in the first step itself. Is the problem with login of brand account known to SE team? Any workarounds?
ok, is your overlay added at 1920x1080?
The default resolution for StreamElements overlays (theme and custom) is 1920x1080. Please add them in OBS at their full resolution and use CTRL+F to fit to screen if necessary. You can then downscale your stream in OBS settings > Video if you'd like https://i.imgur.com/6bWXxjR.png
Anyone?
Known issue. No workaround.
So is that no work around yet or just no work around for the issue at all? I'm hoping the latter is not true. I really wanted to use streamelements.
Yet.
Okay good.
trying to change my streamelements profile banner and it keeps changing back to the default every single time i try
ive attempted to search around everywhere for answers but i cant find any
Can the cost for SE merch pls go down its to much some of my subscribers say
Hi. Do you mean the cost of the items or the cost of the shipping?
The items
Cost of the items is controlled by the account owner who has set up the store.
So if this is your account, you can adjust the prices for the items.
hey guys i am trying to get everything ready to be able to stream easily but i am stuck on 1 step. i added browser overlays of my theme to my obs but now, how do i get the widgets and stuff inside it????
it just added a placeholder for them
Even tho I lower its still alot
Hey all. YouTube is my primary streaming platform, but when I livestream I also stream to Twitch and Facebook Gaming. Does Stream Elements offer an event type viewer (where I can see YT subscribers, Twitch follows, and Facebook likes all in one spot)?
even i myself dont know how if stream elements has any way for u to see how many people are watching ur stream from the overlay
Not directly, all our platforms are separate - while you can use multiple instances of StreamElements (one for each platform) - they are not synchronized and do not share data between them.
how do i do this
Ah okay that’s what I assumed, just wanted clarification before looking for something that wasn’t there haha.
does obslive do that?
While you can edit overlays in OBS.Live - we would recommend doing the initial setup on our website to get familiar with the overlays and widgets.
ok
i didnt really understand it that well
except the fact that u can add overlays by clicking the plus then edit them on the left
and other stuff
Would recommend to check it out here:
https://support.streamelements.com/en
There are a few guides how to set up overlays etc.
ok
so i did that, and now i have even more doubts
how do i test my widgets to make sure they will show up while im live?
i added the widget stuff in the overlay editing section from my browser in streamelements website. will they automatically show the stuff that they are supposed to(example alerts,chat) or will i need to do something else to make them active?
while im live
Evening, Can anyone help, Alerts work when testing however do not work when live, all streams are public and I've also noticed my activity feed does mot update, however when I'm not live the activity feeds seems to update?
Hi.
Can you provide more details, like what specific events are missing?
hi @near stag no events so while live
even the events on the main SE dashbaord do not show the new subs from when I'm live which is strange
my channel is the same name as my profile if that helps any 🙂
Does that affect only subs or memberships and superchats too?
just subs at mo, as I've not been streaming on YT that long and just building the channel up
Subscriber events can be delayed on YouTube for up to 4 hours, sometimes even longer
So to reliably test events we would need superchats or memberships.
the numbers on the channel and my streamdeck update in real time and its been almost 2 days and still no change
not that lucky unfortunately
We do get events in a different way and like i explained, subscriber events are not reliable enough on YT to diagnose issues. We would need superchats and/or memberships as those events are nearly instant and reliable.
ok no worries thanks for letting me know, do you know if YT are looking at pushing this info out quicker in the future as it would be nice to thank ppl in real time , providing I notice the sub
Currently we do not have an update for this case, not sure how the YT event flow will change.
ok thanks
Also for yt subs they have to have their subscriptions set to public for the alert to show
Made an account before I knew I could add an account to my already existing one, trying to close my youtube one to add to my twitch one, filled in the info to close it but pressing forward, it closes the box and does nothing.
hopefully someone can help. i just had this issue after updating OBS. I cant type in my own YT Gaming chat like i use to and my activity feed wont allow me to connect to YouTube. Even with me being signed in on Streamelements under my YTG associated gmail account. I've tried doing both under "custom browser docks" and they both dont work well at all. Any tips or fixes for this? @eager lily
Custom docks don't work for anything but twitch unfortunately
I have brought up the issue with support though and I think they did forward it over to the devs? Not sure exactly
Any word on streamelements and youtube brand account linking yet?

Hi I did not remember that I already signed in as my youtube channel. Then I signed in as my Twitch channel then added my facebook channel account. But when I tried to add my youtube channel streamelements says that it has already been claimed. Can I "unclaim" this and just merge it with my twitch and facebook account? How? Thanks in advance.
I had the same issue and someone pinged me with this response, - #helpdesk-youtube message
Lol its just 5 messages away. Thank you. 🙂
Hi, anyone here know how to copy stream elements twitch commands to a stream elements youtube account? i just don't wanna manually type all commands all over again. huhuhu also i just tried an unlisted stream but the bot is not responding to me nor are the chat is not showing up on my overlay. thanks!!
@craggy sandal 2nd is intentional. Has to be public.
Gimme a sec to get something to duplicate the commands over.
thanks for confirming this one. 🙂
And that #helpdesk-youtube message
the codepen link?
i opened it and i saw codes and part of myself died a little since i dont know how
You only need to worry about the form it shows.
oh okay. is the account id, like the streamelements account ID
It's the letters and numbers from the other link.
i'm so sorry i'm so dumb but what other link?
oohh
The JWT is by enabling show tokens.
okay it says running. check the console for information
i'm not sure what to do next...
i am seeing my custom commands though!! can i close the codepen page?
or should i leave it up until it says finished?
How many do you have?
that's be the best way to be sure but definitely leave the page open for s bit.
okay. do you know if it will ever say finished?
oh oop yeah it's still missing some
@ivory pumice ^^^^^^^^ Using your lovely importer
okay it is now complete but it still says Running. Check the console for information.
thank you by the way for this amazing tool!!
The person I pinged is the
behind it.
Sudo -- i was just wondering... for other bots i've used, i had to make those bots as moderators on my channel
but streamelements isn't having me do this.... did i miss a step somehow?
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 couldn't find a link anywhere to add as mod to my youtube channel. so i just wanted to confirm if this is needed or not
oh beautiful thank you!!
@craggy sandal 🙂 i just checked and ya the output data is all in the console. will give the result of X amount added and X amount failed. I'll add a done message in the main site. Glad it worked (hopefully 🤞)
Chat commands on not working on my YouTube stream babylove1821. I made commands for my most loyal viewers. !total
!steel they don't do anything in chat. The timers work with the streamelements chatbot. The commands don't work. Please help.
what are those commands supposed to do?
Anyone that has a workaround for this error. While trying to login to streamelements with youtube? I know this is a known issue But i am stuck with out any chat robot, i can't use any overlays i purchased. And I don't know of any good alternative to streamelements to use until this is fixed. Don't get me wrong i would use S/E over any alternative. But I just keep getting "we know about this" answers. No update or anything. Also it seems S/E has had this problem since 2019. When i read an reddit post.
@rapid oxide Unfortunately outside of saying that it is known there's nothing we can do about it atm until the devs work out the exact issue.
And this has not been going on since 2019. This is something within the last month or so.
guys how do i see my chat while my game is in fullscreen?
does streamelements offer any way for u to do that?
Most people have a second monitor, And they have that chat on that. Or you can capture your game on, and not your screen. So when you tab out to read chat. the weaver still see your game and webcam. 🙂
The Reddit post had no picture but he description of the post felt the same. Ill keep checking of updates on this. with sitting in to boat and waiting. 😛
Yeah. Not sure about that one but this one is specific to this year.
no like what i mean is, is there a way for me to see the chat on my screen(without having it show in the stream)while im capturing my game on fullscreen and playing it
on 1 monitor
No. Unfortunately the one thing we can suggest is only designed for twitch.
Hey guys, how's everyone doing.
Got question to those who have many translation into there videos, is there any tool or a way to make the translation quick other than the manual one
Cuz in my videos I've been noticing that most of the views and followers coming from non English talker country and wanted to make some translation for them but was pain to do it manually
Tip is get an Elgato stream deck xl so you can keybind your transition. Of you make a transition that is detecting what you are doing. Like when you jump out of a game it swaps to full camera. 🙂
Wondering if someone can shred some light, I used to be AlphaSpiderW when I made my youtube channel, I've changed the name on youtube itself, yet SE still see's me as AlphaSpiderW, what am I doing wrong?
Is this issue fixed now?
It is not yet.
Does the second option "Create a new Youtube Live Video..." work?
Whatever his message says is the current fix to the issue. If anything works I do not know as I don't stream to youtube or use OBS.Live.
That's to my current understanding of the situation.
Hello. I am wanting to finish my transition away from Streamlabs Cloudbot. One feature they have which I am trying to find an equivalent to is the streaming loyalty points. There is a page on streamelements for loyalty points but I cannot find a way to manage or customize anything? Is this still an active feature? How would I use this? https://streamelements.com/features/loyalty
Hi. You can find the settings here:
https://streamelements.com/dashboard/loyalty
This would be the start to set up loyalty points.
I get this:
This is probably because you are on YouTube - that feature is limited to Twitch currently.
Sad day...
I do stream to both using restream.
But YT is my main. Are there plans for implementing this for YT as well?
Yes, but we do not have an ETA.
Ok. Thanks. As for setting it up for my Twitch, how would I accomplish that?
Log into the StreamElements site with your Twitch and follow the link i posted above
and make sure the bot is in the channel
Ok will do. Thanks.
No one helped me.
You never answered me #helpdesk-youtube message
^
They have a YouTube help desk to not help anyone?
I'm still waiting for your response. I asked you something with no reply.
Can't help you otherwise.
I made commands for my viewers. !total is supposed to bring up the description of total that I wrote.
The timer bot is working the chatbot isn't working
still don't know what you mean by the first one.
Streamelements has custom chat commands. They are not appearing in my chat when I trigger the command.
Is your stream set to public?
Yes, the timer command works. I type the command myself and nothing appears.
Nothing comes up in chat not even the default commands
So uh I think the authorization for streamelements is broken...
They won't help you don't worry
Known issue > #helpdesk-youtube message
@dreamy loom You're not live. Commands won't work if you're showing live.
I went live and to test
I can go live again. Commands didn't work in chat when doing a real live stream the last two days. I am trying to fix the problem. I was testing today.
Do you want me to go live now?
Definitely wasn't long enough for the bot to join as it isn't automatic.
Can sometimes take 10 or more minutes.
Okay. I will do a real stream and see if the bot works after a while. It didn't work after hours of streaming yesterday
i wasn't asking about the transition boogey i was asking about translation 😄
could you enable auto caption? I don't know how it works on livestreams with yt though
not during stream but in videos
the videos that be uploaded to youtube
during the stream i got some ppl watching and helping me with the translation but the worse part when doing the videos to add more than english to the video so more ppl watch it
Yeah, I think in video settings there is auto caption settings, I can double check though
if i'm not wrong that auto caption it's only working for engilsh
It actually translates into other languages. You just have to select the language of your video
oh i'm sorry but can you enlighten me about it how
right nown i'm on my last video the one with the translation i did myself
Welcome to the club, and no info or anything. We just have to "wait"... 🙂
Wow
If you select your video language in you video editor on youtube, it should then do auto captions if people turn them on
ya this one i often be having it for english
but how i make for other language and have it timing on the video
ah think i kinda got it
if i got it right the key is in this auto caption language all i have to do to put the language i want to be using and then it'll auto timing it and put it on the video
How can I test Youtube chat element? I don't see my chats showing up in the preview or in OBS as an element
you'd have to test with a public stream
for those who use events, make sure only one of them is public for chatbot/ chat overlays to work (in my experience)
sooo, imported alerts from SL, trying to emulate them to change some dimensions about to get the text to fit, emulator isn't doing anything. ideas?
Can I get alerts from a "brand channel" on YT? I can't seem to login to SE with that YT account. I get an error.
Those accounts can produce an error 404. Do you see that one?
Yes this is a known issue, we are working on a fix in that case
@near stagIs it a bad idea to spin up channels that way?
In general not, but we have a login issue currently in that case
I know you guys are aware. Are we talking a few days? Weeks? Months? No idea?
We do not have an ETA in that case.
Hi, how can I add a custom command in a YT live stream chat please?
@versed tangle ⤵️
You can add, remove and make changes to custom commands in chat with !command/!cmd flags:
!command add (commandname) (commandresponse) - allows you **to add **a new custom command
!command remove (commandname) - allows you to delete a custom command
!command edit (commandname) (commandresponse) - allows you to edit an existing custom command
!command show (commandname) - allows you to see the raw response of a command before variables are used
!command options (commandname) -(flag) - allows you to change settings for an existing custom command
More information here: #helpdesk-twitch message
That doesn't work for me, unless I am doing it wrong. Can someone literally type out how it should look please?
(sorry to ask a question, since I don't know yours) I feel quite ignorant for asking this (I have looked up a ton of videos, but nothing seems to fit 100%) on how to customize the chatbox using obs, stream elements, and youtube. Seems like there has been a lot of updates between using obs and youtube together. Thanks again here
how do you record a youtube video
I got a sub midstream but didn’t get an alert for it. Do I have to setup a certain setting for the alerts to pop up like I did for the streamelement bot to work or something? Help plz?! Lol
I'm having the same issue. I didn't get an alert for raid or new membership during my stream today. When I emulate an alert in SE widget editor it pops up in OBS, but actual live alerts don't work.
I hope there’s a fix or something that we need to do to enable the alerts to work
Why is my Total Subscribers count not accurate?
When you add SE to your account, it starts picking up data from that moment. The numbers start adding from that point forward, is there something specific your looking to do with the total?
I'm just trying to add a Subscriber Count and a Subscriber Goal Element.
You can manually adjust goals with the needed numbers
@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.
Alright, thx. So, is there no way to display your accurate subscriber count?
Hello, not sure if this is better for here for the obslive support but relating to more Youtube. I have created an overlay for chat and have attempted to change multiple chat font settings to get it to appear in stream but it does not at all appear. I've done the link pasting and all that as I've done for many other things so Im familiar with that but nothing appears.
2nd issue is the bot does not show up in my mods list nor are commands saving from the Chat commands when I enable or disable. When I refresh my page, they all reset. Help please
People are trying to donate to me and getting a message about "donation queue is full" and needs to be cleared or something?
I googled it but couldn't find anything
After making the changes and saving, have you refreshed the overlay or re-added it?
What donation method are you using? (SE.Pay, Paypal)
Yes, Ive done both.
What isn't appearing? Are you typing in chat trying to test it?
Yes, exactly that. I am doing it while Im live as well because I know youtube doesnt show up like Twitch did
And these steps have been followed?
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.
Ill give that a try in a moment. I think the unlisted in part 1 is the issue. Everything seems exactly that but the unlisted part. Will test in a moment
Donations thru my SE go to my Paypal.
so it's my tip page and I have that connected to my paypal
When it comes to Paypal, we are a passthrough service, so you may need to reach out to Paypal to see if something is holding the donations
Those steps worked. Appreciate it. Also appears bot commands saved once it joined. Thank you
I am a newbie on a mac, I only have 3 Modules, where are the rest?
Hello, I needed help with streamelements show showing up correct data like total sub count and not gibing alerts for subscribers and now showing up the chatbox
@SE.STAFF
YouTube does not have all the same modules as Twitch does, so you may see fewer options.
i only have subscriber alert on and it doesnt work
also it shows wrong no of total subscribets
oo sorry i thought this was reply for me
Alerts can be delayed or not show due to a change made by Google. As for the totals, the dashboard only shows data starting from the time you added the bot. But you can make manual adjustments.
@hexed lark ⤵️
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.
For streamelements alerts can you use one global account to get alerts from multiple platforms ?
No
so i would need a seperate one for yt fb twitch ?>
Yes
Obs.live comes under streamelements ya ?
when i stream from obs only i dont have drp frames but if i add obs.live i have drop frames
anyone knowm how to remove a channel that is claimed
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.
Please logout of StreamElements at https://streamelements.com/logout and then login again to your account (Twitch/YouTube/Facebook).
Youtube brand account linking update?
Nothing yet
dang
Hey all! Is anybody having issues with login to streamElements using YT brand account?
I'm getting Error 400: invalid_request
It used to work before but since I moved my channel from legacy brand account to a new brand account, the login is failing
Please refer to the pinned messages
I just wish we would see some updates on this matter, as its been a week I haven't even heard from staff any updates as to what might be going on, etc
Hi, I would really like to know how to manually add a custom command whilst streaming on YT please. The bot provided some assistance, but that didn't work for me, so would really like someone to physically type an example in here please so I can fully understand. tia
Sorry, I mean to manually add a command via the YT chat is what I meant
@versed tangle Is the !command command enabled?
How would I find out whether it is or not please?
All good. I've found it and it was indeed turned off. Many thanks 👍
How do I add u to my youtube comments
Anything on the YT integration issue yet?
It's really frustrating that I want to use your guys system, but can't because its not working, and there hasn't been any clear action or anything from anyone on whats going on, how long it might take, or any word back from people from the devs on any of this. Not a good look, especially with a high influx of new users due to Streamlabs issues. I really don't want to have to go to streamlabs for all my stuff, but its getting to the point that I might have to, at least until StreamElements is making and annoucing some forward progress
The only thing missing at the moment with any viable chance at being added is loyalty. Media share has 0 chance of happening.
hi all, is the ${user} still broken?
Is what still broken?
oh, the ${user} custom command variable
Oh okay. Hopefully someone else here knows. I can't even login to check on that.
Can I use the loyality system for a youtube stream?
no
:(
We can't seem to get alerts working and it also seems like the activity feed is not updating. Switched from SLOBS to Elements about a week ago and things are not going well for us. We've tried disconnecting and econnecting the account. We've tried importing alerts from SLOBS and creating new ones but still no luck. Any tips would be greatly appreciated.
when emulating alerts do they pop up in the obs?
Hey all. I hope this is the right place to ask. I've added a nerd or die chat widget to my overlays on the website. I have positioned this right but the text isn't wrapping to fit inside my overlay (As per picture) - Which property do I need to edit in the CSS to affect this? The text is 'flowing' out past the line I drew on the right side of the box on the right
this is even though the box for the chat widget is sized to fit in the space in my overlay editor
The short version is privacy. Basically if the viewer has their subscriptions set to private then it won't show
Ahhh that makes sense. I guess I’ll create a timed chatbot comment to remind the viewers of that?
yeah it took me a long while to work that one out haha
Any news on brand accounts
Whenever someone re-joins as a Member, it shows up when it auto-renews in my alert feed, but it doesn't show up when they send the "Free Member Milestone Chat". Is there any way to have the milestone chats show up in my alerts instead of the auto-renews?
I have my youtube and twitch account on 2 seperate accounts and i want to merge them, how do i do that?
Does this allow the timer to pull from a pool of messages? How does this work?
@junior ore it queues them in the order they appear there. First one triggers then goes to the next one when the timer is to trigger again.
Thanks
@main vector Another question - for the word filters of the StreamElements bot, do we need to use the regex format (?i)(\W|^)(baloney|darn|drat|fooey|gosh\sdarnit|heck)(\W|$) or just the words as is?
I don't know how the regex behaves but you can choose either.
So if I use the regex formatting, do I tick the box on?
Yes
trying to work out how to do this without having thousands of entries for synonyms of the same slur/word
okay thanks
I'm sure they will release information when they have it. I can relate to how frustrating it is not being able to login with your brand account or even the owner account of the brand account.
I was wondering how come my brand account name doesnt reflect on my profile or in the links for donations and tips? It starts with an se- for the name, is that a common issue right now?
Its just frustrating to not hear anything back about it for days, or any official announcement about it or what’s going on
@eager lily I recently started using stream elements in OBS, when i go live the chat begins to glitch and does not work at all, and neither do my alerts. Is this a known issues, any work arounds for this? Thanks
@eager lily Was wondering if you could help me? I'm initially streaming on twitch and wanted to give youtube a try. When I try to link my YT account its says "Channel is already claimed" This my own fault for logging into SE under my other YT email account. Is there anyway to unlink it or merge to my main SE page? Thank you!

Hey whenever I hit "Add youtube channel" it states my youtube channel is already claimed, I don't know what streamelements account has my YT channel claimed, and due to this I don't see any of my alerts on stream
any news with brand account guys ?
Hi. Sadly no news on that, we are still working on it.

Sweet so like I said I have no way of knowing what account it's actually claimed on, is there someethod of finding that out?
Also what is the current issue with brand accounts?
Hello all, very exited to start streaming with streamelements. But I think I have an issue. I logged in with my twitch account and did many different things/set ups there. Created a bunch of cool screens and worked on it quiete a lot putting a lot of effort. But then, recently, I decided to start streaming on YouTube and I realized today that I have no clue how to port everything that I made on streamelements (connected to twitch) to youtube. Do I have to log off with my twitch account and log in with youtube? If I do so I lose all my progresses. Do I have to link the account? Will I then have my alerts and things like that on YouTube even if they were set up for twitch? I honestly have no idea, what is the safest and best way to port all my set up and alerts, screens and everything I have done on streamelements set up for twitch, to be able to work on YouTube?
Hope I was clear enough, thanks all in advance 😄

So what's wrong with brand accounts?? If I'm using one do I have to create a new YouTube account to use streamelements?
As I'm having issues with my alerts and chat not appearing and wondering if that's what's up
We are still looking into how the Brand account are interacting with our system, unfortunately. Do note that alerts can be delayed or not show do to YouTubes own design and there are steps to follow to be sure the chatbot is working
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.

Any fixes for this?
Was just about to ask about the Brand Account issue as well. Glad to know it's not just me (cosmic luck typically assures that it is) so just hold tight and wait for SteamElements awesome people to figure out what's up with Brand Account OAuth stuff?
If someone logs with their Twitch and notices there is a YT channel, that doesn't exist anymore because it was deleted, listed under the My Channels section, how would they go about removing it?
@wintry wadi ⤵️
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

Okay and I realize I'm responding to the bot here I guess that means I'm going to have to make a backup of any custom stuff I've done because I haven't used any custom overlays so the only thing affected would be the custom commands, blocked words, and timers I had set up.
Edit: since I have a new YouTube channel that would need to be linked to the account after I start fresh, I'm going to have to delay that until the brand account issue is fully resolved.
Since it's a request what would the ETA be on getting the account deleted off your system so I can start fresh?
The turn around for these requests is usually a couple days depending on what the devs are working on
Okay. Well considering the fact it's not affecting my twitch channels set up with your service I'll wait until one of the issues I know that you guys are working hard on trying to fix is resolved. That way I can stream in the meantime with obs.live
i wish to close my yt account and merge with my twitch one thats already set up, how long would the closing procedure take? thank you @SE.Support
we can merge them for you without closing YT, Please DM me the JWT token and account ids for both accounts
@past beacon can i also do the same, i would like to merge yt and twitch account aswell
yes
hey, does the chat overlay for youtube only work when a stream is set to public? Or did I make an oopsie when I set the overlay up?
YT chats work when live and public
so messages wont show up if I'm streaming with it set to unlisted?
Correct
Okay, thanks!
FWIW, this worked for me. I didn't have streamelements set up as a moderator. As soon as I added that, chat timers started working & I could see alerts.
is it possible to customize the name of the bot for youtube?
It is not.
Hello, I am quiet not sure how to do so.. where do I get the JWT tokens? Does that mean I need to log in once with Twitch, get the token, then log in with YouTube and get the token? Then both tokens put them on the form?

Hello, i stream on Twich but want to try Youtube. On SE page, i have both my accounts conected, but if i change to Youtube, my overlays etc are empty. Any away to "copy" the existing ones and past on Youtube SE page, with some tweaks ofc? ty
Go to your Twitch "My Overlays" page, click on the three dots on one of the overlays, and choose "Duplicate". You will have the option to duplicate the overlay to the YouTube account.

Hey everyone, new frog here. Had a quick little question, I've recently swapped from SLOBS to regular OBS and I can't seem to get the "recent activity" feed to work properly. Was wondering if there are any fixes for it? I used to stream on Twitch but swapped to Youtube as well if that's of any importance
What exactly isn't working?
Hi @worn hamlet, thanks for the quick response, it's basically the pop-out version of the activity feed that isn't tracking any of the various categories. I've made sure that they're all enabled and not filtered out but it's just not registering
Just the pop-out activity feed? Or the one in the website as well?
Yeah, both are having the same issue 😄
although oddly enough occasionally some of the activity will appear on my linked Twitch account on the website
but nothing on my YT one
They are tracking two different accounts, so there should be no relation there.

just wondering if anyone has a cmd that can turn on and off any sources in OBS that my YT chat can do?
Could the StreamElements bot be renamed / or use my own channel name when sending msgs on YT by any chance?
@brave osprey unfortunately no.
thanks!
I'm seeing one subscriber from yesterday on your Activity Feed. Is there anything else that's missing?
@thorny osprey It is possible but not sure how well it works via youtube.
always happy to try
@worn hamlet it tracks in that graph yes, but the actual live-feed isn't tracking, apologies if I miscommunicated
@worn hamlet and it requests that I log in with twitch, it doesn't allow me to log in with youtube
Where does it request that?
when using it as a dock in my OBS, it says that the session expired and only gives me a twitch login option
Ok, let's do that:
@raw garden ⤵️
Please logout of StreamElements at https://streamelements.com/logout and then login again to your account (Twitch/YouTube/Facebook).
logged out, logged back in with the YT option
my Twitch and YT are on the same email if that's an issue
@thorny osprey Poking around I'm not seeing any viable option actually and only for twitch.
like i can't just log back into YT, it automatically logs me into twitch as well
Is it set to youtube in obs settings as destination?
ahh, no worries chief, thanks for looking
Hey, So my youtube account is claimed and I can't find what account has my YT claimed
I login to streamelements with my google account attached to my YT account, hit claim, and it says already claimed, but none of my statistics appear on the stats page and none of my alerts when im streaming live go through like new subs
@real summitWhat's the username for the youtube account you're trying to claim?
Is SE.Pay not available for YouTube, or is it a sub number requirement?
Seeeee

Hello. I stream on YouTube using OBS.Live streamelements. Suddenly last Friday, as soon as I started my stream, my bitrate tanked and has not recovered. I usually stream at 15k but now my bitrate is constantly jumping between 0-2k. My ISP has done everything they can to confirm there is no issue on their end. My download speeds are normal but my uplaod speeds are almost half for some reason - I'm not uploading anything. My PC says "DNS server is not responding" - my ISP (suddenlink) said they don't know what that is. I don't know if it's related, but I do have a cyberstalker who regularly doxes me and has threated to DDOS me but I don't know what that is.
^Could this have anything to do with DDOS?
Is there any way to import the overlays I have on twitch on to YouTube? I have my YouTube and twitch linked but when I switch to YouTube I can’t find a way to access the alerts and sounds I use on twitch
If the accounts are linked, you can go to the three-dot menu on the overlay and it should allow you to duplicate that way
