plain sonnet
#

it could be youre using an old version of obs

ashen raptor
#

@rugged quail pls click SEND TEST MESSAGE 😃

#

and see what bot is sending message

plain sonnet
#

not according to your video

ashen raptor
#

@plain sonnet fo real the OBS version is causing this problem?

plain sonnet
#

i have no idea

chilly wagon
#

That video does nothing to show how to connect the bot

plain sonnet
#

im not any tech person from se or obs

chilly wagon
#

I can get to that point to and it doesnt add it to the list

plain sonnet
#

please stop tagging people like that

#

the devs are working on this

#

you will have answers when we do

chilly wagon
#

its likely the name danni wanted to use was already in the list. for example in the dropdown i have bettyblue as a name i can choose

#

but im trying to add a different twitch account as my bot

#

so it works out like that video and nothing happens, the new name doesnt show up

#

think we just have to wait for a fix

shy mountain
#

@chilly wagon You are gonna see a strange song in your MR queue - that was me, trying to test the loyalty. Disregard it thinkies

#

@rugged quail What are you trying to achieve?

#

press ctrl+f

#

@chilly wagon So, since you are a broadcaster and i'm an admin for hte bot, we are exempt from the loyalty.

#

this means mods also can go past the loyalty requirement to use SR.

chilly wagon
#

gotcha

#

was too tunnel visioned in that one tab

#

😂

shy mountain
chilly wagon
#

I think that solves @ashen raptor issue as well

dense jasper
odd kraken
#

when you select StreamElements at the top bar, does is say Log out or Log in at the bottom in the menu?

dense jasper
#

Log in, and when I click it.. The screen flashes and then does nothing

odd kraken
#

can you try to start OBS as admin please.

dense jasper
#

Did that, same issues.

odd kraken
#

Do you maybe have any virusscanner which is blocking the connection?

dense jasper
#

i do use avast, does it have to be completely disabled to work?

odd kraken
#

Please try to disable the AV and restart OBS and try to log in.

dense jasper
#

still happens, will try disabling adblockers and logging in

#

no adblock, no virusscanner, run as administrator.. still no luck

odd kraken
#

Sorry, but I don't have any solution for your problem here. I'll forward your problem internally.

dense jasper
#

ok, thanks a lot

latent grotto
#

Hi Team. I ran into a problem recently and wondered if you guys might have a solution.

#

When using OBS.live, at the end of my stream I like to raid other streamers I support. After raiding, the chat in OBS goes to the raided streamer's chat. There seems to be no way for me to get it to go back to my chat unless I restart OBS.

odd kraken
#

I am not sure, but maybe reloading the chat widget or closing and reopening works, also.

latent grotto
#

I tried that. It doesn't work. It reloads the raided streamer's chat.

#

The only way I've been able to see to get it back to my chat is to restart OBS.

odd kraken
#

I can replicate your issue.
You could try to log out of OBS.Live and log back in every time. Maybe this is faster than restarting OBS.

pure burrow
#

Ran Into this problem with clicking on a youtube link in my chat

#

Not sure how to get it back :I

odd kraken
#

Try to log out of OBS.Live and log back in.

pure burrow
#

Do I have to stop my stream?

odd kraken
#

No. Just select StreamElements at the top bar in OBS and select Log out and log back in.

pure burrow
#

Awesome that fixed it

#

thanks man ❤

#

OBSLive seems to want to open things up in its own browser

odd kraken
#

yes.

vivid edge
#

anyone know who the chat wont work on streamelements obs?

odd kraken
#

Do you see StreamElements at the top bar in OBS?

vivid edge
#

yes

odd kraken
#

Select Log out and Log back in please.

vivid edge
#

awesome that fixed it thank you

jade light
#

Hi I am having trouble with my stream, I don't know if its my settings or something but I feel like my stream as much further behind real time than two seconds

odd kraken
#

This depends on your internet speed i think. But this has nothing to do with StreamElements. In my opinion 2 seconds is a pretty good value, as some other streamers have up to 7 seconds or even more. Of course there are some with less than a second out there, too.

jade light
#

Oh ok sorry I thought it would be a problem with my settings, my upload is around 20mbps and my bitrate is around 6000 does that sound like that should be right?

odd kraken
jade light
#

thank you

vital tusk
#

any update on when the custom bot names will be fixed?

shy mountain
#

No ETA on when its going to be fixed.

subtle frost
#

Quick question, I clicked a link in the chat box attached to obs live, and it opened a picture of a pigeon, however I am unable to get back to my chat, any quick fixes other then relaunching?

shy mountain
#

Streamelements on top -> log out -> log in

#

no need to stop stream

subtle frost
#

My hero ❤

echo karma
shy mountain
#

Huh?

dawn canyon
#

Will OBS.Live be available for Mac users soon?

shy mountain
#

Its planned, but no ETA

dawn canyon
#

Okay thank you. I’ve been looking for a stream deck to use also, but I didn’t see anything for Mac users.

rugged quail
#

Hello! My OBS live crashed and i cant close it :/

twilit venture
#

task maager doesnt work?

rugged quail
#

Nope... can't close it there neither

twilit venture
#

if not then a PC restart would be requiered

rugged quail
#

Is there any way to fix this next time? I try to add a video recording device then it crashes :/

twilit venture
#

probably not. Its not like this happens every day once.
Pretty sure it was a series of unfortunate events

#

sometimes the PC or system settings cant handle the load of streaming, encoding and all oter programms that work in the back

#

if this keeps happening we an start talk about it and digg into it

halcyon vale
#

Can anyone help me real quick ? I cant figure out how to play music in stream without myself hearing it like so i can hear footsteps and stuff ingame. Dm me please 🤓

odd kraken
#

^send same answer via DM.

crystal light
#

Hello everyone, does anyone know why my follwer goal overlay is showing 2 more followers than I actually have and how can I fix this?

shy mountain
#

the goal progression only goes up but not down automatically

remote sail
#

I clicked a twitch clip on obslive chat and it opened in the chat itself, now it won't go back to the chat, how do i fix it?

shy mountain
#

Streamelements on top -> logout @remote sail

crystal light
#

Ahh got it @shy mountain thank you! Couldn't find that menu anywhere. Also another question recently saw you can change bot name. Where is "stream setting" in obs live?! Can't find it anywhere frustrating

shy mountain
#

Activity feed on the left -> widget data on the right to go back there.

remote sail
#

While streaming?

shy mountain
#

yes

#

@crystal light Burger menu button on the Activity feed -> stream settings -> custom bot name

#

or check the pinned video in this channel.

crystal light
#

@shy mountain Burger menu? I can find the video in the pinned user guides :( ther is a chatbot quick guide but doesn't address changing name. Do you have link to this video?

crystal light
#

OMG wow ty

#

Feel so dumb facepalm

remote sail
#

So in order to get back the chat, i have to logout, log back in, rearrange everything while streaming? is there an easier way like a restart button?

shy mountain
#

The link that opens like that is fixed, but a relog is needed to get the fix and revert chat back to normal

remote sail
#

Oh ok, so it won't happen again?

shy mountain
#

It shouldn't

remote sail
#

ok thanks!

tacit meteor
#

i'm not getting host alerts when its not without a raid :s help?

#

i changed the minimum to 0 viewers but it still didnt work

cloud oak
#

I know this is more of a minor issue.. but is there any way to make OBS live remember it's window placement after an update or logging in/out? I always have to drag the windows around/resize them back to where I want them

odd kraken
#

@tacit meteor You activated the host alert in the AlertBox settings?

hardy tulip
#

I maximised obs.live now the close minimise and resize buttons are missing HELP please!

twilit venture
#

How is that even possible???

#

Go down to your task bar and right click on obs

#

You can minimize it through there too

hardy tulip
#

I would like to move the obs window to another screen and it won't let me

warm pewter
#

F11

hardy tulip
#

That does nothing

#

F11

warm pewter
#

Thats the full screen short cut, only way to have OBS full screen and not show title bar controls

hardy tulip
#

This is the second time, the only way i fixed it was restarting obs

#

It is not full screen it's missing the top window layer i.e. x _

#

Will a screen shot help?

warm pewter
#

Probably not. If you are not seeing the title bar, and its not actually full screen, sounds like there might be something seriously wrong with windows itself

hardy tulip
twilit venture
#

Why you not trying my thing? :(

#

To not maximize it

#

Right click on the obs task in the toolbar in the bottom and click the option to set it back to normal

#

Of its maximised that should work

#

You could also try to Chang the resolution of your monitor

hardy tulip
#

Ok, changing the resolution worked, allowed the top of the obs window to be shown again.

#

What could be the cause of this guys?

twilit venture
#

Maybe your monitor or graphics card

#

This never happens to me when I bump my window on the top to maximise it

warm pewter
#

Sounds like a problem with your display in that case, and nothing with the software

hardy tulip
#

Should i reinstall the graphics driver?

flint pebble
#

Hey guys I'm just trying to implement the !sr into my stream. I use OBS.Live along with SE - Ground Control. I have successfully managed to get the backup playlist in and added hot keys.

Where I am having issues:

  1. when I try to !sr or !songrequest no song pops into the queue.
  2. when I skip a song via hotkeys it actually skips three songs.

and yes the viewer request button is set to on (blue)
I've ensure there are only macros on in one location OBS.LIVE, vs Ground Control

tacit meteor
#

@odd kraken yes I have and I have gone through all the settings and variations and it's still not working. Today I had a cheer and that didn't get an alert either

nocturne meadow
#

is it possible to download an overlay and edit in photoshop?

tulip hamlet
#

No. Downloading assets is against our Terms of Service.

nocturne meadow
#

Allright, thank you sir!

gaunt citrus

shadow basin
#

Is it safe to update to the new OBS version? Will it break OBS.Live?

frigid dawn
#

I just wanna say thank you to whoever started adding all the social icons in the overlays. It makes it soo much easier to select the ones you want to use with the same theme. You're the true hero.

tulip hamlet
#

As a rule of thumb, don't update until the plugins you rely on inform the public of support for the update.

shadow basin
#

Ok, and I assume StreamElements hasn't done that yet?

tulip hamlet
gaunt citrus
#

I found the solution to my problem, you have to go into task manager, in the details page, and force close the leftover obs-browser-page.exe that the updater leaves open.

candid dock
#

well I updated and now I can;t use OBS. keeps crashing

tulip hamlet
gaunt citrus
#

It's ok on my end, that's why I commented my workaround, I'm sorry it didn't work as expected for you.

candid dock
#

rolling back to 22 for now

#

I'll wait for an announcement to update

gaunt citrus
#

After the OBS update finally happened for me, an SE OBS update triggered, I let that run, and was back in action. What part hung for you?

candid dock
#

The OBS updated fine, it was after the SE OBS update that it started crashing. it loads up and then as the SE plugins start to load it crashes

gaunt citrus
#

32bit or 64?

candid dock
#

64

gaunt citrus
#

same here, intel?

#

nvidia gpu?

candid dock
#

AMD A10 6700, Nvidia GTX 750

gaunt citrus
#

maybe it's the amd cpu

candid dock
#

not sure, it's fine. I'll give the update another go tomorrow, sleep now 😃

gaunt citrus
#

Ok, enjoy your sleep, sorry for the false hope.

candid dock
#

no worries, thanks for trying to help 😃

keen osprey
#

obs 23 rc2 fixes crash, quick holdover til they fix 😃

gaunt citrus
#

That's good news.

left pulsar
#

So I assume that updating OBS right now is a bad idea?

tulip hamlet
left pulsar
#

thanks for the heads up

glass pebble
#

I updated first then came here, now to play the waiting game lol

obsidian zinc
#

I recently switched from steaming on twitch to streaming on YouTube. When i logged out of my twitch account on obs live and try and log into my YouTube account, it only gives me an option to log into a twitch account. How do i log into a youtube account of obs live streaming

odd kraken
#

OBS.Live is just for Twitch atm. Youtube is planned, but no ETA.

obsidian zinc
#

Thank you

dire sphinx
#

I'm uninstalling because I'm experiencing an issue when trying to connect my Twitch account with the latest OBS. It crashes every time I try to connect it so I'm slowly removing plugins

solar loom
#

With the new update and NVENC being better should I use my GTX 760 to encode or keep it on x264

deep birchBOT
dire sphinx
#

I ended up uninstalling OBS all together and manually removing files as needed

split gazelle
#

Uhh... is it normal that

small cave
#

I don't have a great pc so I'm wondering if using obs live plugin will impact my performance

tulip hamlet
#

It won't have a substantial impact, and using our cloud-based overlay system should lower overall usage versus locally hosted graphics and information.

small cave
#

Ah ok thank you very much

indigo rivet
#

Is OBS.Live compatible with OBS 23.0 ?

tulip hamlet
indigo rivet
#

ok, I already updated my OBS when the original 23.0 beta released and I couldnt even open OBS. Had to uninstall OBS live. Will keep my ears open to when they are compatible

rugged quail
#

I'm guessing since OBS now includes chat, you guys will be removing the SE Chat panel from OBS.live and just use the OBS one?

Also will you use the same Twitch account from OBS itself or will we need to sign in twice?

tulip hamlet
#

Please wait for the update release for information.

dapper bay
#

Looking forward to the update. Really like the OBS Live.

turbid arch
#

What do I do?! When is the OBS Live update?! I was supposed to stream 1 hour ago?

steel mural
#

I don't have any insight on this but I guess this could take a few days.

turbid arch
#

Can I get a link to the beta again?

#

It worked fine

pale marlin
#

My activity widget is showing nothing??

#

i have a ss if anyone would like to help me out

tulip hamlet
#

@pale marlin Log out and log back in via the StreamElements menu at the top.

pale marlin
#

Okay ill try that

#

still nothing

#

still staying blank

#

i also tried reloading the widget to see if maybe that would help but still nothing

tulip hamlet
#

Take a full uncropped screenshot of OBS please.

pale marlin
#

okay

#

chat works, everything else works except for the activity widget? I started obs today and it just did that, i gave it about 20 mins to see if maybe it was still trying to load, but nothing, i reloaded it, nothing. ran as admin. nothing. it just stays like that.

rugged quail
#

Hello , I am trying to add ovelay to my stream and other extensions. I downloaded Obs Live and Streamlabs. Not sure the next step

deep birchBOT
#

@rugged quail 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 :ballot_box_with_check: “Shutdown source when not visible” https://youtu.be/KDvLynUqXI4

pale marlin
#

Update. Tried uninstalling and reinstalling obs and streamelements and its still not workingt

past mango
#

So, A Stupid Question From An Idiot: I assume I cannot run OBS.Live on SLOBS?

pale marlin
#

no you cant lol @past mango

past mango
#

Fair enough!

pale marlin
#

lmaoo

past mango
#

well really I just picked SLOBS because someone got a dollar if I downloaded it 😛

rugged quail
#

How do I stream to facebook ?

timber venture
#

Are you guys updating to the new OBS 23.0 too or is it going to take some more time?

shy mountain
#

We dont have facebook integration yet so its best to ask google in this case @rugged quail

#

@timber venture soon

timber venture
#

Okay cool

loud sorrel
#

What's the best way to downgrade back to a working version?

shy mountain
#

Uninstall plugin first then obs studio

loud sorrel
#

Was really hoping I don't need to completely uninstall - I really dont want to risk losing all my profiles/scenes/etc..

#

Glad Monday isn't my stream day. lol

shy mountain
#

You wont loose the profile data

#

Bcs ther is an option to saveit

pale marlin
#

my issue was never resolved

shy mountain
rugged quail
loud sorrel
#

But profile is just the settings, what about scenes and sources, etc...

deep birchBOT
shy mountain
#

@loud sorrel same thing

#

@pale marlin what is the issue?

pale marlin
#

my activity widget just stayes blank

#

stays*

shy mountain
#

Se on top -> log out then log in

pale marlin
#

i tried that

shy mountain
#

Login to pur dashboard ans see if you have events there

pale marlin
#

like on the website?

#

@shy mountain everything on the website is blank aswell

loud sorrel
#

Hmm. the OBS Live uninstaller froze.

#

Says "Setup was not completed successfully"

shy mountain
#

Did you first uninstall our plugin or OBS?

loud sorrel
#

plugin

shy mountain
#

Hmm that shouldn't be like that.

#

Try running the uninstaller as admin.

#

@pale marlin So your events are most likely not showing up because the last time you've streamed and gotten an actual event is really far back.

pale marlin
#

its showing that you are the only follower

#

ohh

shy mountain
#

Yes because i just followed to make sure the activity feed is not bugged.

loud sorrel
#

Didn't even start as admin. I just downloaded last OBS over the existing version, (thanks for the link) then re-ran the OBS.Live installer and it seems to work

pale marlin
#

it used to show followers from months and months tho, but i have followers from like last week that arnt showing, yesterday everything was fine??

shy mountain
#

Your last stream is 19 days ago.

#

Or at least thats the one I see on your channel.

pale marlin
#

ive had friends follow since then tho?

shy mountain
#

Lazy friends? rooShrug

pale marlin
#

even when im offline

#

i have no idea, it just seems weird that everything was there yesterday but today its blank

#

is there a way i could have reset it to not show all the follows from before?

shy mountain
#

No.

#

We usually show the last 60 days.

#

But if there is no new event in 20 to 30 days, the activity feed goes blank to save space/memory/somthing

pale marlin
#

Hm okay, maybe its just because i havent streamed in 20 days lol

#

thank you!!!

#

i have peace of mind knowing that it works at least lol

boreal sable
#

hello, i can not figure out how to add my overlay to the scene. every yt video tells me to get it from wherever i saved it on the pc, but its not on my pc. i can only copy the overlay link from streamelements.

deep birchBOT
#

@boreal sable 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 :ballot_box_with_check: “Shutdown source when not visible” https://youtu.be/KDvLynUqXI4

boreal sable
#

well i did that, but that only gives like a third of the overlay...the rest is cut out or something (not the size thats the problem, its really just the third thats there)

shy mountain
tacit meteor
#

I'm still having issues with the alerts

shy mountain
tacit meteor
#

host wont show up without raids, yesterday a cheer one didnt either

#

ah right let me go there then

nocturne meadow
#

So, I've used some time to get my alertbox working on my "INTRO" overlay.. is it possible to copy it to my "ingame" overlay? Or ddo i have to edit them all voer?

shy mountain
#

Click on it, layers on the left side -> 2 white papers with red dot -> copy to other overlays

nocturne meadow
#

eey, thanks buddy!

#

😄

kind jetty
#

So... When I try to connect my Twitch account it crashes.. I don't know if this is a OBS LIVE feature or normal OBS but when I uninstall OBS LIVE it isn't there..

twilit venture
#

connect your twitch to streamelements?
or to configurate your streamkey?

kind jetty
#

Connect twitch to obs live

twilit venture
#

and I would assume you are on OBS 23.0.0 right?

kind jetty
#

yup

twilit venture
#

not 22.0.2

kind jetty
#

correct 23.0.0

twilit venture
#

we need to update OBS.Live to that version since it just came out today

kind jetty
#

k 😃

twilit venture
verbal obsidian
twilit venture
#

yes!

#

@kind jetty you can update your OBS.Live now

#

so it works stable with 23.0.0

kind jetty
#

yay

small cave
#

is there an option to have your dashboard as a tab?

odd kraken
#

OBS Live has the dashboard integrated, when you selet the burger menu at the top of your activity feed in OBS.Live.

small cave
#

ah thanks

rugged quail
#

shy mountain
#

@sand spindle curently rhe custom bot is now available from obs.live

#

Not*

sand spindle
#

I click "Connect Custom Bot account" and it puts me through two connect to twitch windows, without any explanation as to what I'm supposed to be logging into with those windows. I assume the bot account is the first one

languid glacier
sand spindle

was on 19.x then restarted and now I'm on 21.1.0 so nvm... should be fine now shouldn't I ? xD

warm pewter
#

no

#

23 is the latest version

#

like I said, if you are on 21.1.x, you need to get the installer from OBS site

odd kraken
#

@wispy tinsel Read what Kite told you above. The version you are on now has a problem with the auto update mechanics. You have to donwload the latest version manually.

rugged quail
#

Reason to stay with streamelements?... I want to update to fix my problem, but can't even update cuz the installer crashes too :/ Im mad ik BabyRage

odd kraken
rugged quail
#

@odd kraken tried already...

wispy tinsel
#

ah... my bad 😅 will download from the obsproject site then 😃

rugged quail
#

Installer can't install files (at least half of them)

wispy tinsel
#

@odd kraken @warm pewter do I need to uninstall anything before installing 23.0?

odd kraken
#

no.

rugged quail
#

@odd kraken can't uninstall obs live cuz it wants to install it :/

odd kraken
#

@rugged quail have you tied to download the v23 of OBS and just installed that one? What is the error you are getting?

I am still with you. just trying to handel like 5 problems in different channels at one. sorry.

shadow lark
#

no worries m8

#

not streaming untill tomorrow so got time to fix it..

odd kraken
#

What OBS Version are you on right now? What are you trying to do? Are you trying to install OBS.Live or are you trying to uninstall it?

shadow lark
#

@shy mountain asked for this

warm pewter
#

Browser source is crashng Fault address: 7FFC61CF9B1D (c:\program files (x86)\obs-studio\obs-plugins\64bit\libcef.dll)

shy mountain
#

Ok i'm here again.

#

Will give that to the devs for a check

shadow lark
#

@warm pewter noob here =]

#

but thanks guys for being so helpfull

warm pewter
#

I would completely uninstall OBS Studio, make sure that no files are left in c:\program files (x86)\obs-studio\obs-plugins\64bit and then do a clean install of OBS 23

shadow lark
#

@warm pewter you are revering to me?

shy mountain
#

yes he is

warm pewter
#

yes

shadow lark
#

okay... it was working fine

#

but will have a go a that

odd kraken
#

@rugged quail take a look what Kite suggest a vew lines above. maybe this helps solvng your problem, too.

shadow lark
#

do I have to reinstall all my plugins for audio?

shy mountain
#

Plugins for audio?

shadow lark
#

yes..filters and such

shy mountain
#

Most likely yes

shadow lark
#

keeps saying this

shy mountain
#

did you uninstall Studio before our plugin?

shadow lark
#

i did

shy mountain
#

install it back and then uninstall our plugin

rugged quail
#

Quick help to thoose who struggle to update : Delete your obs fully and reinstall it then update

#

Worked for me.

shadow lark
#

it updated fine.. even streamed with that

#

but only now it keeps freezing

#

but reinstalling now

candid dock
#

I have everything working but the default twitch stats and dashboard docks keep going when I restart the program? is this an issue with OBS.live or more OBS itself?

remote sail
#

After a raid, the chat goes to the chat of the person I raided, how do I get my own chat back without closing the system? Do i have to log out of streamelements again?

odd kraken
#

Yes, think this is the actual way how to do this.

remote sail
#

Thats so problematic.

warm pewter
#

Pretty sure that OBS 23 chat does the same thing, and that there is really nothing that can be done since its embedded Twitch chat, and that is how raids work

sand spindle
#

Wait... doesn't hitting the "refresh" button in the top left bring it back to you?

#

My main concern with this new integration with Twitch, at the moment anyways, is that it doesn't seem like there's a way to "test" stream without disconnecting the integration entirely and reverting back to stream key.... which I suppose is fine when using OBS Live

#

Since SE has their own chat and stuff.

#

Just wish the custom bot name worked with OBS live. Still basically no functionality for me with that integration until that's a thing

#

I know it's probably in the works, so no biggie

warm pewter
#

bot rename issue is being worked on. The integration piece to use instead of stream key is an OBS Studio thing, so nothing that we can do as its not related to our plugin

wispy tinsel
#

on the latest obs.live why do i need to login on the chat ?

warm pewter
#

What do you mean? You need to login for it to access your channel.....

wispy tinsel
#

to be able to use it I have to login

warm pewter
#

well, yeah, how else will it get to your channel

wispy tinsel
#

when I log in to obs.live it selfe...

#

I then have to again, login to the chat

warm pewter
#

Have you tried logging in under options > streaming? it might be related to the 23 integrations

wispy tinsel
#

I logged in when I open obs

warm pewter
#

I am not talking about the OBS.Live login

#

I am talking about Settings > Stream > Connect Account

wispy tinsel
#

I use stream key, connecting my account like that will only give obs studio access to my email, stream key and subs

#

the chat window gets premission from SE's obs.live extention

warm pewter
#

If you dont want to try it, i dont really know what else to tell you then besides logging in when prompted

plain sonnet
#

is that obs.live chat or obs chat?

split gazelle
#

Is it normal that I can't access the update Twitch console with a linked profile?

#

Like the bit that lets you set the stream title and so on

wanton thistle
#

I can't get an activity feed to appear in OBS.ive. Its not in the available docks. Is there some other way to make it appear?

split gazelle
#

StreamElements > Activity Feed

acoustic cobalt
#

can i have help 😛

#

every time i try to connect with twitch to obs.live its loading forever just left my computer open for an hour still didnt load 😛

split gazelle
#

Did you update to the new version?

wanton thistle
#

Hmm @split gazelle . I don't see Activity Feed there

acoustic cobalt
#

ok i fixed it 😃 @split gazelle

shy mountain
#

@wanton thistle

split gazelle
#

^^ There

acoustic cobalt
#

what does activity feed do?

#

oh nvm

#

im dumb

split gazelle
wanton thistle
shy mountain
#

Logout and log back in

split gazelle
#

So does me having SE.Live disable the OBS UI to let me set my stream title and all that?

devout vortex
#

I noticed last night that if someone raids, I get both a raid and a host notification live on Twitch for them -- is there something that will prevent that?

odd kraken
#

No, as Twitch sends us a host and a raid notification when someone raids you.

limber juniper
#

What I did in this situation, @devout vortex, I have disabled raid alert and only did host. Since host is ALWAYS going to be triggered. When the event happens, you can see in chat if they raided you and address it then.

split gazelle
#

Same for Activity Feed

wanton thistle
#

Thank you @shy mountain and @split gazelle . Got it to work finally

devout vortex
#

@limber juniper That's a good option -- I might try that out. I don't want hosts to not be announced, and raids are amazing so I don't want them missed either, but we don't need both announced when it's a raid XD I'll play with that a bit on my alert profiles!

limber juniper
#

with raids, they are hard to miss. You get people spamming emotes in chat normally and you see the text from Twitch in chat notifying of the raid. It was the best solution that I felt comfortable with. Hopefully you do too! 👍

split gazelle
#

Sorry I just found the answer. If anyone lose the "Stream Info" dock from OBS 23.0.0, disconnect the Twitch account and reconnect and you'll get the options for it all again.

#

Hey guys, Fenrir from the OBS team here. I'm investigating reports that your new plugin is breaking our integration features, and when I installed it from the website to test I noticed that you're shipping version 21.1.2 with the installer? This version is very outdated, and should not really be distributed anymore.

merry otter
#

so i updated the last ver and now i can not see my alerts

shy mountain
#

@pine walrus Big boi here Pog I will pass this to our devs. Thank you.

pine walrus
#

We'd actually prefer you didn't ship a build of OBS at all, as it causes confusion that your plugin is actually a build of OBS itself.

#

And just installed the plugin.

#

However, that's just our ask :)

shy mountain
#

Also noted, thank you 😃

merry otter
#

so ??

shy mountain
#

What do you mean you can't see alerts?

feral stream
#

when using media request i try to set the delay to 20 seconds but then when the song is done it automatically goes to the next song and starts playing with no delay

merry otter

shy mountain

That doesn't tell me or show me much.

warm pewter
#

No StreamElements menu, means OBS.Live is not installed

shy mountain
#

@feral stream Ty, I will see if I can reproduce this and see that our QA knows about it.

merry otter
#

@warm pewter so what should i do

warm pewter
#

If you want to use OBS.Live, you need to install it Shrug

merry otter
#

so why this pops up ??if it is not installed

plain sonnet

because you havent updated it after updating obs

warm pewter

Corrupt install Shrug

@hardy tulip You can make changes to custom commands in chat with!command add/remove/edit/options/show Valid flags for !cmd options are: -cd (number) -usercd (number) -cost (number) -level (number) -type (say, whisper or reply) -count (number). --- Example: !cmd options twitter -usercd 60 -type reply -level 250

I don't think so.

plain sonnet

no plans, this would mean se would need to have api's for every streaming service which isnt the best thing. but as restream has their own chat app there really isnt a reason to do it

Except it sucks. Lol

hardy tulip
#

Guys, as i have a dedicated stream pc, would the new nvenc coding with the latest release of OBS. Would this benefit at all?

stoic lagoon
#

can someone explain to me how i get an overlay from the theme gallery onto my OBS

deep birchBOT
#

@stoic lagoon 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 :ballot_box_with_check: “Shutdown source when not visible” https://youtu.be/KDvLynUqXI4

plain sonnet
#

i would say so, to take the credit of @warm pewter knowledge,

The new NVENC completely changed how OBS handles frames. With the new it will pass the frames directly from the GPU vram to the encoder, where previously it would send the frame to system ram, and then pass to the encoder. With this, there are major performance improvements. With the Psycho Visual Tuning, you can also get a better quality image, although it will only be a minor improvement on anything that is not RTX, or the GTX 1660Ti

hardy tulip
#

Fine, but how does this all compare to a dedicated pc with X.264 CPU enconding vs the latest NVENC encoding? Should I change from X.264 encoding to that?

#

And the gpu in question is the GTX1060

Hi, I have a question/problem. I am trying to add a custom bot but when I log in with the bot account, I get to the screen where I need to connect my twitch. So my bot account is turning into a real twitch account instead BOT. Can somebody help me?

warm pewter
#

If you have a dedicated streaming PC, and can do x264 at medium preset, there is no reason to use NVENC. Only if you have an RTX card can NVENC match the quality of x264 medium, and be better in some instances, like font

I need some help please

bright oyster
deep birchBOT
#

@waxen peak Custom bot name requirements

  • StreamElements bot modded and in chat
  • Active overlay with alerts
  • StreamElements tipping page in the panels below the stream (!panels)
  • Create a twitch account for the name you want to use
  • Ground Control app must be running

Steps to enable custom name

  1. Sign in to https://twitch.tv with the bot account
  2. Install and run Ground Control (!gc for download)
  3. Visit https://twitchapps.com/tmi/ and generate an oAUTH token
  4. Copy/paste everything in the box to Ground Control oAuth settings and enter the name for the bot account
  5. Restart Ground Control (custom name may take a few minutes to take effect)

Mac does not currently support renaming the bot.

Please make sure you meet all the requirements and follow the steps closely.

Anyone think they can help with this? Asked yesterday but it may have gotten lost in the mix.

Hey guys I'm just trying to implement the !sr into my stream. I use OBS.Live along with SE - Ground Control. I have successfully managed to get the backup playlist in and added hot keys.

Where I am having issues:

  1. when I try to !sr or !songrequest no song pops into the queue.
  2. when I skip a song via hotkeys it actually skips three songs.

and yes the viewer request button is set to on (blue)
I've ensure there are only macros on in one location OBS.LIVE, vs Ground Control

tulip hamlet
#

@flint pebble Please request a song with the !sr command in your chat.

#

Sorted ⤴

#

Hi. Since the update OBS is crashing on close and the chat etc has vanished.

#

Is there a fix? Sorry if it's already posted elsewhere but I couldn't find anything.

tulip hamlet
#

Have you updated OBS.Live? What version are you running?

midnight minnow
#

Sorry. Is there a way to turn down the volume for just Media Request? I have it turned as low as possible, and it's still almost half way the desktop audio mixer. The only thing I can think of is to turn down the desktop audio and turn up everything else. Do other people have their desktop audio low and I'm just dumb? 😂

serene charm
#

It's your most recent update.

#

Number please.

#

@midnight minnow It still uses YouTube audio. Go onto YouTube and lower things there, see if that helps.

That's OBS, not OBS.Live. What version of OBS.Live is installed?

#

Bottom right corner.

serene charm
#

19.2.2.26.339

#

I've managed to get back the plugin by relogging into SE on OBS but it's still going to not responding on closing the app.

#

It's not a big issue but it's an annoying one.

tulip hamlet
#

Haven't heard of that happening before. Is it being run as an administrator?

serene charm
#

I believe so but I'll try that as well. Not had this issue until the last time I closed it.

#

Running as admin and it still locks up.

#

Let me give it a restart and see if that'll fix it.

#

Yep. Still going unresponsive on close.

#

Maybe it's an isolated issue but my new PC arrives in a couple of days so it'll be a brand new install anyway. I can cope with it doing this for now.

Hello. I have a question about the install of obs.live. When installing the OBS.Live plugin, is there a reason why we can't deselect download and install fresh copy of OBS studio? I literally just got done doing that.

It should be deselected by default.

Did you install OBS Studio in a directory other than the default?

Mostly to make sure nothing broke. LUL

I'm not a dev, so I can't go deep into it, but it seems okay...

daring moon
#

so how long should i wait between entering my bots OAuth from the link into Ground Control and closing the app to opening the app back up and seeing if the bots name has changed to the custom name?

tulip hamlet
#

You only need to close and reopen if the bot says the message multiple times.

#

Just part the bot, rename, and join the bot.

daring moon
#

so it's only showing the name as the twitch account name not the custom name i made in ground control

tulip hamlet
#

Did you make an actual Twitch account for the bot?

#

You can't just name it anything. It needs an associated account.

daring moon
#

yea i did already

tulip hamlet
#

Were you logged in with that account when you generated the OAuth token?

daring moon
#

yes

tulip hamlet
#

In Twitch?

daring moon
#

yea

Alright, take a screenshot of Twitch to show you're logged in with the bot before generating the token again and trying again.

So been getting frame drops/low FPS while streaming Apex on x264.
I have a Ryzen 7 2700x + 1060 3GB, all ingame settings set to low.
I stream at 720@60 5000bitrate

deep birchBOT
#

@hidden cloak Since Apex Legends doesn't have optimized GPU drivers yet, it tends to take up all your GPU resources, leaving nothing for OBS. If you're having OBS performance issues, you'll likely need to limit the game somehow. The easiest way to do this is to enable Vsync in the game, or use a frame limiter. You can limit the game to 60fps by adding +fps_max 60 to the game's launch properties in Origin.
https://twitter.com/OBSProject/status/1093974215877951493

If you stream @PlayApex and are having FPS issues with OBS due to a maxed-out GPU, you'll need to reduce GPU usage so that OBS can run as well. The quickest way to do this is to enable Vsync with triple buffering and disable Windows 10 Game Mode. https://t.co/FOPmDyJMNx

Alright, so go ahead and generate a new OAuth token and paste it into Ground Control.

daring moon
#

what's the link for OAuth tokens again?

tulip hamlet
#

It's in Ground Control.

daring moon
#

gotcha

#

Still showing up as the twtich username not the custom name

tulip hamlet
#

Do you use OBS.Live?

daring moon
#

Yea

tulip hamlet
#

Did you select your Twitch name in there?

#

Because if you use OBS.Live you should use that for the rename instead of Ground Control.

daring moon
#

where is the rename function in OBS.Live?

tulip hamlet
#

Menu in the top left of the activity feed.

daring moon
#

when it asks me to login to twitch for the custom bot name do i use my twitch bot account or my normal account?

tulip hamlet
#

For now disable it in OBS.Live completely, tell it to use the default bot name.

#

OBS.Live's rename is having issues, forgot about that for a second.

daring moon
#

ok

#

ok for now it's set to StreamElements in OBS.Love

Now try renaming in Ground Control again.

should i generate a new OAuth token?

or use the same one

No.

Ok 👍

daring moon
#

any idea when the chatbot custom name will be working on OBS.Live?

abstract widget
#

This is video I’ve watched alert

#

Already

#

I just need alert box to show on stream

warm pewter
#

Then add your overlay to OBS that has the alert widget in it, its a pretty simple concept, especially if you watched the video on adding overlays

abstract widget
#

It does have it in it but won’t show

daring moon
#

you can't just move around the alert box in OBS

#

you have to move it around on your dashboard when editing your overlay

warm pewter
#

Make sure it was added correctly, and not behind another source

abstract widget
#

I know that

#

It’s not I’ve already checked

Can you please provide a log from your last stream. In OBS go to Help > Log Files > Upload Last Log File. Once this is complete, please provide the link to the log file.

abstract widget
#

Bye

warm pewter
#

I want a log to try to help you, but if you dont want to do that, then whatever, its on you

daring moon
#

good try

#

I don't suppose you can fix the custombot name that doesn't wanna change

abstract widget
#

Gettin Logs RN

#

There

warm pewter
#

@daring moon devs are working on the rename issue with OBS.Live. I thought you got it working through Ground Control for now

daring moon
#

negative ghost rider it still is showing as my twitch account name i have for my bot not my custom name i tried to put in to Ground Control

abstract widget
#

got the logs now what

warm pewter
#

@daring moon Thats how the rename works, it uses another Twitch account for the name, you cant just give it whatever name you want, it needs to use another account for the name

#

@abstract widget learn to have some patients

daring moon
#

so then it's not really a custom name it's just use another twitch username?

#

interesting

warm pewter
#

It is a custom name, it just uses another Twitch account's name. Its the only way for it to have a custom name, as it uses that account to post to chat, there is no other way it could work with how twitch works

daring moon
#

ok gotcha

#

so it is a name of a twitch account instead of just using Streamelements bot as the name

warm pewter
#

@abstract widget only thing that stands out is that you have mcafee anti-virus, and windows defender. Mcafee is trash and could be part of the probelm. You are also using a laptop, so the problem could be with the GPU OBS is using and what the system ia using, you might need to change OBS to use the integrated GPU or set the system to use the Nvidia GPU

abstract widget
#

Gotcha

warm pewter
#

@daring moon correct. It basically makes it so the bot uses the other account as a proxy to post to chat

daring moon
#

ahh ok, I gotcha

#

thank you for clearing that up for me!

warm pewter

Thx

#

@rugged quail Well I don't see on what current version you are, but if you want latest fixes, you should always be up to date with everything. Make sure you are first on 23.0.1 and then update Live.

shy mountain
#

Give more details

#

IF you are using Team Viewer or something similar to look at your 2nd PC

#

its going to lag regardless.

#

Then I'm not understand what you are doing.

pliant kelp
#

Is there a way to turn off viewer count in OBS?

shy mountain
#

@pliant kelp ⤴

pliant kelp
#

Thank you.

shy mountain
#

@rugged quail Explain exactly what you are doing.

deep birchBOT
#

@rugged quail Can you please provide a log from your last stream. In OBS go to Help > Log Files > Upload Last Log File. Once this is complete, please provide the link to the log file.

shy mountain
#

I will not even toss this log in the analyzer. Your CPU is from 2010 and you are using integrated graphics.

#

Too low of a PC spec to have a stable stream.

#

That is why you will get freeze frames

Hey Guys so I reinstalled OBS to newest version then when I want to update OBS.live plugin I'm getting error during instalation... if I skip the .dll files during instalation OBS won't start then.... any ideas?

shy mountain
#

Yes - reinstall again

#

without skipping anything

#

when you uninstall, restart PC

#

run installer of OBS Studio as admin

#

then run our installer for the plugin.

#

DLLs is what makes most programs work - skipping them will make programs not work.

sonic sparrow
#

@shy mountain ok, all i had to do was uninstall -> clean registry -> restart-> install obs -> restart again (when I didn't I got ".dll instalation error") -> then install obs.live plugin... Strange what 1 restart can do 😄

gleaming quiver
shy mountain
#

You might be looking at the obs integrated chat

gleaming quiver
#

i updated obs cause of their hotfix and then I updated obs.live again >_<

#

did it screw up?

shy mountain

#

how do i get obs.live chat back then? Cause it is checked under the streamelements tab

shy mountain
#

our chat has this swirly

gleaming quiver
#

yep so does mine

shy mountain
#

and it doesn't have all the settings? thonking

gleaming quiver
#

correct

shy mountain
#

log out and log back in?

k hold on

#

Good morning, does anyone know when the plugin will have support for osx?

shy mountain
#

Its planned. No ETA

vocal ivy
#

I see, thanks @shy mountain, in a few months I will be only using macbook, since I will be moving to another country, but I can use just obs studio

#

sadly wont have custom bot name for sometime

shy mountain
#

I can't guarantee its going to be out then.

crisp heart
#

good morning, does anyone know why OBS Live won't uninstall from OBS 23.0.1? It seems to be stuck saying 'Installation Aborted' 'setup was not completed successfully'

shy mountain
#

Any particular reason you want to remove OBS.Live? As in, what issue are you facing that is making you want to remove the plugin?

#

Also I just replied to your tweet.

crisp heart
#

I was trying to figure out why it had disabled/removed my Twitch stats when installing the latest version of OBS Live

shy mountain
#

Check my tweet 😃

#

i had the same issue my self then I just relogged within the OBS integration and they showed up.

crisp heart
#

unless my twitters delayed i don't see a response yet

#

but i'll do that

#

^^

shy mountain
crisp heart
#

must be slow my end, your a beast tho Keizar, doing what you said now after i've fixed my OBS Live 😃

shy mountain
#

I think I found an issue just now and will have to confirm with the devs if its us or something on OBS' side that is our of our control.

crisp heart
#

you sir are a true hero

#

thank you, seems to be working as intended now ❤

tacit meteor
#

Is the new OBS hotfix safe to install?

shy mountain
#

for 23.0.1 and 23.0.0 - yes

#

the crashes have been fixed.

#

Any other types of crashes - most likely you will have to reinstall OBS entirely.

tacit meteor
#

nah i dont have any crashes, just saw a hotfix so figured i'll ask before updating

shy mountain
#

If you are asking about the 23.0.1 hotfix its from the OBS guys

tacit meteor
#

yeah

#

but its safe to update with OBS live is what i was asking about, but good to know! :)

shy mountain
#

some people reported a lot of greenscreen lines on their streams adn that got fixed.

#

yes

tacit meteor
#

ah awesome, thanks :)

#

is there a 'remote' mobile app that i can use for stream elements?

shy mountain
#

No.

devout latch
#

no doubt you guys already know this but i think i shoul dhave posted this here

#

docks are missing when installing newest OBS.live with v23.0.1

shy mountain
#

I literally found this issue before you even reported it in #general-chat 😉

devout latch
#

lol

#

cool

shy mountain
#

in between helping this dude I found an issue with the docks - restarting OBS removes them and we've notified the devs about it.

#

You came right on time confirming this for me as well pepeD

devout latch
#

yeah well ive tested like 3 different fresh installs over last 2 days

#

all yield same results

#

as soon as obs.live is installed it removes them

shy mountain
#

Going to settings -> stream -> disconnect -> connect twitch

#

fixes the docks, until you restart OBS.Live monka

#

But just having obs 23.0.X doesn't remove the docks regardless how many times you restart.

#

this is definitely, not our intention and the devs will sort it out

devout latch
#

ok cool that sorted it

#

maybe the obs.live login, kicked the original obs twitch out

#

thanks for the fix

#

😃

can someone help me pls

since i have updated my obs my c920 webcam keeps freezing FeelsBadMan

shy mountain
#

@rugged quail You don't stream to us. You stream to either twitch or youtube.

#

Since you have OBS.Live installed it only supports Twitch

rugged quail
#

I use twitch

shy mountain
#

Then place your streamkey in OBS

#

setup your settings and stream

rugged quail
#

Thank you

crisp heart
#

@shy mountain you are probably aware of this but when switching profiles in OBS to a profile that doesn't have OBS.Live connected and back again to a connected profile it hides the Twitch integration panels. Logging out and back in again resolves it

#

just to let you know 👌

shy mountain
#

Switching profiles thonking

#

noted will include in the report for the devs

#

will test it as well, thanks.

serene charm
#

Guys, thanks very much for the hotfix. My freeze is fixed as I see it was caused by G HUB which I have installed and plugged in for my headset.

#

As always, BEST streaming platform you could possibly use. Thank you ❤

stark turtle
#

Also, whenever I update OBSlive, I have to rearrange the windows to my preference. Every time. Ex: I like keeping the chat window on the left side instead of right. And after each update, I have to move it again

odd kraken
#

@stark turtle I think there is no way to keep your settings, as for the OBSv23 there has been added new windows in the version. So we set it back to default I think, to prevent any troubles.

sweet arrow
#

is there a way to have a keybind for media request in obs live? to pause and play and skip songs preferably

shy mountain
#

Yes - in the settings of the MR widget in OBS.Live

sweet arrow
#

thanks

warm pewter
serene charm
#

Take the love hahaha.

shy mountain
#

@crisp heart So Heres the thing. I'm currently on clean OBS 23.0.1 version. This Profile switch (where you click Profile on top and choose another profile), seems to be part of OBS.

#

So I switch to a new profile/clean one and I notice the twitch integration is missing. I went to "Settings" and saw that it wanted me to login with my account again.

#

So by definition, OBS guys have most likely set it so, different profiles, different accounts can be connected.

robust niche
#

how do I add an SE overlay into SE's OBS.Live?

#

because adding the overlay scene's url as a browser sources does nothing

deep birchBOT
#

@robust niche 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 :ballot_box_with_check: “Shutdown source when not visible” https://youtu.be/KDvLynUqXI4

robust niche
#

I'll try 1920x1080

#

I have a request in the mean time.
I would like to request the ability to grab an overlay's url without having to "launch" it

#

A second request.
The ability to manually start the intro screen's count-down.

odd kraken
#

Set this source with the Overlay to "Shutdown when not visible". Everytime you select the scene, it will start the countdown from the beginning.

deep birchBOT
robust niche
#

I'll still submit the "manually start count-down" request.
Because of the load time, can't rely/time the option Benno mentioned

You don't have installed the plugin of StreamElements. You have to insall it.

hello all ive got a problem running obs and gaming the same time when obs is running my game stutters but the stream is fine when i use other software like nvidia shadowplay my game runs fine and stream is great ive got a 9700k and 1080ti and 16gb ram any suggestions?

odd kraken
#

what game are you playing?

simple escarp
#

apex

deep birchBOT
#

@simple escarp Since Apex Legends doesn't have optimized GPU drivers yet, it tends to take up all your GPU resources, leaving nothing for OBS. If you're having OBS performance issues, you'll likely need to limit the game somehow. The easiest way to do this is to enable Vsync in the game, or use a frame limiter. You can limit the game to 60fps by adding +fps_max 60 to the game's launch properties in Origin.
https://twitter.com/OBSProject/status/1093974215877951493

If you stream @PlayApex and are having FPS issues with OBS due to a maxed-out GPU, you'll need to reduce GPU usage so that OBS can run as well. The quickest way to do this is to enable Vsync with triple buffering and disable Windows 10 Game Mode. https://t.co/FOPmDyJMNx

@warm pewter Just again something weird , I just streamed 30 minutes perfect... on the same game and suddenly again my game gets pixelated... Then the connection is back normal ?

The biggest question is , I'm streaming of 1 year on the same way and never had an issue with my ISP or this pixel thing!

The pixel thing started when they made an update? Or is the issue a windows update? Because my pc did an update on 25/02 ( KB4100347: Intel-microcode-updates ). hmmm

#

i'm uninstalling the update

odd kraken
#

@analog oar I just tested to get my custom bot name with OBS.Live and it worked. Maybe you want to test it on your end, too.

#

Hey there, having an issue with uninstalling OBS.live. I uninstalled OBS before anything, and now the uninstall aborts. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

odd kraken
#

Download the latest OBS Sudio version (23.0.1) and install it. After that download the latest OBS.Live version and install that, too.

fickle vessel
#

Almost! Still aborts on the
Execute: "C:\Users\spenc\AppData\Local\Temp\nsx9D49.tmp.exe" /S /D=C:\Program Files\obs-studio

odd kraken
#

While the OBS installation or OBS.Live?

fickle vessel
#

So, I installed the latest versions of OBS and OBS live, right? Now I'm trying to uninstall OBS live.

#

and that's what I get when it aborts.

#

Ultimately, I wanted to uninstall every instance of OBS I had and reinstall just OBS.Live to it's newest version. But it wouldn't let me after I had uninstalled OBS first.

warm pewter
#

well, that would seem to be the problem if you uninstalled OBS Studio first then tried to uninstall OBS.Live. You would need to manually clean up the OBS.Live files in that case. Or just install the latest OBS Studio, and let OBS.Live update when promoted when you launch OBS Studio.

fickle vessel
#

Just for added reassurance, just manually delete all OBS and OBS.live files/folders. This will also act as "uninstalling"?

warm pewter
#

you can delete them all, unless you want to maintain your profiles and scene collection, then you will not want to delete all the folders under %programdata%

fickle vessel
#

Ok, great! Thanks so much for the help!

Worked as expected! Thanks again

how can i get bttv enabled in my chat on obs.live 23.0.1 (64 bit)

tulip hamlet
#

It should be by default.

fresh sundial
#

hmmm its not. ill try and re log.

tulip hamlet
#

You're likely using their chat.

#

Not ours.

#

The chat built into OBS 23 doesn't have it.

#

Use the chat that you toggle in the StreamElements menu at the top.

fresh sundial
#

im only using obs live.

#

yeah i did

tulip hamlet
#

OBS.Live is a plugin.

#

For OBS Studio.

#

It's not its own version.

#

Technically speaking with OBS 23 you can have two chat windows in OBS.

#

It's kinda funny.

fresh sundial
#

im using the chat from the streamelements drop down menu

tulip hamlet
#

One is enabled through View>Docks>Chat

#

One is through StreamElements>Chat

If the chat has the smiley face, it's the right one.

yeah i know when bbtv is there. i use on the webrowser allllll the time. lol its the only thing im missing from SLOBS that i dont have now.

tulip hamlet
#

SLOBS? This isn't Streamlabs.

fresh sundial
#

lol im aware. i meant as in from switching over. its the only thing im missing.

tulip hamlet
#

Again, it's enabled already when using the OBS.Live chat, but not with the OBS 23 chat. Check both of the menus and ensure that it's not checked in View>Docks>Chat, and that it is checked in StreamElements>Chat

fresh sundial
#

i dont even have a chat option under. View > Docks.

#

i only have chat under Streamelements > Chat

Screenshot your entire OBS.

mossy falcon
#

does anyone know if the obs studio hotfix removed the stream info dock or is mine just broken for some reason?

This is a known issue and we are trying to find the source for the problem.
In the meantime you can go to Settings > Stream > Disconnect Account -> and reconnect your account. The windows should pup up after you hit "ok".
Note, when you restart OBS or switch profiles you have to do the same procedure to get the panels back.

tulip hamlet
#

@fresh sundial Okay, that is our chat, and it does have both BTTV and FFZ enabled. You can see the smiley face in the top right of the chat box too. If you're concerned, reload the chat widget with the button in the top left.

I am playing around with Media Request
I am using OBS with the StreamElements OBS Live integration. The Media Request Widget is added via StreamElements Overlays.
Now when I say Show on stream it will generate an echo with the only sound source beeing OBS, how can I fix that?

deep birchBOT

@tawny drum Make sure to :ballot_box_with_check: “Shutdown source when not visible” for all browser sources (all OBS scenes). If using studio mode, uncheck “Swap Preview/Output scenes After Transitioning.” Also keep in mind that sound can play from any overlay loaded in the browser (editor or launched). https://i.imgur.com/FegZJQS.png https://i.imgur.com/yY0wcFl.png

@tulip hamlet so what is the min limit to be able to stream like 480 at least

Honestly if you can't hit 2000 bitrate, don't bother. Which you shouldn't do without at least 2.5Mbps upload.

thanks bro

If you want a quality stream, shoot for at least 7.5Mbps upload.

And use 6000 bitrate, which is the max Twitch allows.
