When i use stream labs, i dont run into any of these issues, im rocking a 32gb of ram, an i9900k, and a 2080ti. I just ran the Setup wizard so hopefully that fixes the issue.

#

thank you for your time

plain sonnet
#

i would say try the following:

use the NVENC (new) encoder, then turn off look-ahead and psycho-visual tuning
turn off game DVR
and turn off browser hardware accell in settings

do these and go through the report above,
do a clean log after and come back here with it

Hello

@rugged quail Welcome to the support channel! Please let us know how we can assist you today and a member of the support staff will be with you as soon as possible.

Hi there I'm having trouble on my streams on Facebook , if i stay still im fine but when I start making movement too much or getting into big build battles this cloudy/foggy maybe know as pixelated effect appears on streams. I'm streaming from my pc which is Intel Core I5 2500 3.30ghz 4 cores, 1060 3GB GTX Geforce 12gb ram I'm aware I haven't the best pc but I'm managing Fortnite decent

deep birchBOT
#

@rugged quail Please provide a log from your last stream. To do this, in OBS go to Help > Log Files > Upload Last Log File and paste the link to the log file here.

rugged quail
#

Sure give me 2 minutes if thats okay?

radiant pulsar
#

We really need an on/off button on the obs.live or on streamdeck for the scrolling 'now playing' widget. I'm tired of turning off music because of an intense cut scene and having it keep scrolling even when the song isn't playing.

@radiant pulsar Check out the new ideas board https://strms.net/ideas. You'll be able to add your ideas, upvote others that you like, and track their progress with email notifications. Adding and upvoting ideas also helps the staff know which ideas should be prioritized so please take some time to upvote the features that youโ€™d like. The #๐Ÿ’ญ๏ธฑfeedback-and-ideas channel is best used for discussing ideas already on the board.

rugged quail
#

and btw it doesnt show any log files on Facebook's side by everything is perfect.

#

like 'event logs' even*

plain sonnet
rugged quail
#

which bitrate should i use im on 17.5mbps speed

#

or should i do a re test i tested it yesterday?

plain sonnet
#

rule of thumb is 75-80% of your total upload speed, but you need to check what facebooks limit is

rugged quail
#

what would i google for facebooks info?

#

!rank

plain sonnet
#

something like facebook livestrem bitrate limit

rugged quail
#

lol

plain sonnet
#

play around with it

#

see what comes up

rugged quail
#

limit for 720p?

#

for 1080

#

or*

#

acebook livestrem bitrate limit 720p or 180p or without either

#

1080(

plain sonnet
#

i have no idea what their limit is,
they wont have one for resolution, just bitrate (i would imagine)

rugged quail
#

@plain sonnet do you think my pc can handle streaming 1080p or use 720?

plain sonnet
#

for now use 720, if you can do the above and get the errors/warnings down i dont see why you cant stream at 1080

just note, if the 4k bitrate for fb is true, the quality wont be amazing : )

rugged quail
#

and my issue is im confused there is different bitrates on my obs in advance and also simple would it be possible to give remote acss you would be a life safer to sort that out

#

they are all different settings ect.. bit confusing if you ask me.

#

@plain sonnet i dont get any event logs on fb side with 1080 either

#

Please could u remote assist? ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

plain sonnet
#

we dont support remote access really,
its best to use simple mode and make the changes there

if you are not really sure you can always use the auto wizard to give a benchmark for your pc

rugged quail
#

okay so shall i just remove ands tehn reinstall then do the auto configuration follow from there and use simple mode make changes after following your steps also and confirm?

#

but dont interfear with advance mode also?

plain sonnet
#

you can just switch it back to simple mode, make the changes above and do a new log, then we can go from there

rugged quail
#

ah right thanks saves the hassle I guess.

#

@plain sonnet streaming birate is currently 10k change it to 4k or?

plain sonnet
#

yeh, if fb max is 4 then theres no point going over it

rugged quail
#

Facebook requires H264 encoded video but no option on simple mode in (streaming) only options are hadware (nvence) and (x264) @plain sonnet

#

advance mode has it but not sure

odd kraken
#

x264 is the encoder; h264 is the codec.

rugged quail
#

so do i pick x264 even though i got recommend to use my 1060 gfx as that because im using 2nd intel core

#

1060 for nvenc*

#

500W 80+

#

psu

odd kraken
#

I would still recommen to render on the NVENC encoder. If you are on simple mode you can just use the NVENC. No need to change to advanced if you don't know what you are doing when changing the settings.
When you use the NVENC in the simple mode, it will get the New NVENC when available, otherwise the "old" NVENC.

#

But as usual: Try out what gives you the best result.

rugged quail
#

Thank you ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

#

jusy tryna possibly live a dream u know ๐Ÿ˜›

#

ordered a 1080 cam with a micrphone as well for streams might increase fan base.

#

do i untick or tick 'Enable Advance Encoder Settings' ?

jaunty herald
#

hello, do you guys have any idea how to create a twitch account that has the phrase 'bot' in the username? I can't seem to be able to create an account because of that (the usernames I tried aren't taken)

#

I'm trying to create it for the special bot name feature in obs.live

odd kraken
#

@rugged quail I think when you not tick it OBS uses the veryfast which for the majority of cases is the best balance between CPU usage and video quality. You can edit it when using the advacned encode settings.

rugged quail
#

so leave it unticked?

#

if im going to stream on 1080p what should my resolution be im on 1920x1080 is my original resolution btw @odd kraken ๐Ÿ˜ฎ

odd kraken
#

@jaunty herald I can create a username with bot in it. So most likely your names you tried are all taken. We can't give info on why. Best to ask twitch on this why the account is taken, but there is no account.

#

@rugged quail When you want to stream on 1080p I recommend using your monitor resolution.

rugged quail
#

and what about the resolution on fortnite ingame the same? and fps is currently opn 60 in game and runs smooth

jaunty herald
#

@odd kraken thanks a lot for the reply. I'll either ask twitch or go for another name ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

rugged quail
#

fortnite feels a touch better while playing if im doing 720 res ingame settings though, hmm?

odd kraken
#

@rugged quail These are questions best to ask the real guys at the OBS discord. I am not too savy with these settings.

rugged quail
#

can i send over my event logs if i do a quick stream test to see if my pixelation loss in game goes?

odd kraken
rugged quail
#

alright thank you what shall i use bicubic loncoz ect? and i was speaking to another person have u followed up what in the begining my issuse was about sir?

odd kraken
#

The downscale filters are needed when your canvas is 1080p and your stream output is 720 for example, then you are downscaling.
More quality costs more CPU. Bilinear is cheapest. Lanczos is most expensive.
And yes, I know tadpole but could not follow your issue cause of having to deal with other things. But I guarantee you he gives out pretty good advises and is definetly also savy in his advices.

#

For more advise I recommend joining the OBS Studio discord, as it is their software, they know best how to set everything up.

rugged quail
#

The downscale filters are needed what do ineed to change then? and what shall i use bilinear, lncoz or?

odd kraken
#

Whatevery your system can handle. More quality costs more CPU. Bilinear is cheapest. Lanczos is most expensive.

rugged quail
#

but how to figure out which 1 i should use lol

#

im an 2nd i5 intel core 2500 3.30

odd kraken
#

That would be a perfect question for the OBS discord, as I don't know what the difference is myself.

rugged quail
#

can u give me a link to the obs discord exactly please

deep birchBOT
rugged quail
#

thankyou

stoic grove
#

Yo I struggle a little with setting up the custom name for the bot, did everything as described but cant even get the option to change the name mizuxtOwwh

odd kraken
#

You use OBS.Live to set the custom bot name? What happens when you try to set it up in OBS.Live?

stoic grove
#

Yes I do, it doesnt show the option to change the name in the ground ground control thingie. mizuxtOwwh

#

he is modded in my chat, i have an active overlay and alerts, the tipping page is updated and i even part him from the channel and restarded everything again.

#

also it works for my friend which did the exact same

plain sonnet
#

can you show a screenshot of where you are stuck in ground control

midnight matrix
#

Hey, I've got issues with my audio. I've just bought an Avermedia capture card and when I try to use my headset with the mic either the mic doesn't work or it works but the audio also comes through into my own headphones. Any ideas?

stoic grove
plain sonnet
#

the part where you try and change the name for the bot

stoic grove
#

thats the problem, it doesnt even give me the option to change it

deep birchBOT
plain sonnet
#

@stoic grove we will pass this to the admin as they need to do some back door stuff

#

thats sounds dirty...

#

they need to check some settings

stoic grove
#

Thanks, I appreciate it ^^

#

no need to hurry i just got my PC today and im trying to set up some stuff mizuxtLove

plain sonnet
#

@stoic grove quick question, whats the custom bots account name?

stoic grove
#

I didnt make a second account for the bot yet cause i cant set it up anyways as shown in the screenhot (the second one is not mine)

plain sonnet
#

ok, best to make an account now and mod it so it will be easier for the admins

stoic grove
#

Okay, thanks i will

#

I created the account now

#

"tsune_bot"

plain sonnet
#

awesome, i will update the message

stoic grove
#

would be awesome! thanks ^^

Hello! I'm having troubles with connecting with twitch, it's going into a infinite loop of loading. I've waited for like 30 minutes and it still didn't connect, I've seen a window pop up (which is probably where we authorise) but it instantly closes.

#

^ also tried running as admin, didn't change a thing

odd kraken
#

What version of OBS studio and OBS.Live are you on?
Do you have any anti virus tool running?

scarlet ferry
#

My OBS version is 23.2.1, not sure about obslive version but I just downloaded it today so it's probably the latest one and yes I have a antivirus running, let me try authorizing the program through there

#

It still didn't work although I couldn't find where streamelements' main exe was located, I just allowed through streamelements shortcut and I don't know if that matters

#

Okay I found it, let me try from the main exe

#

It still didn't work.

odd kraken
#

Can you log in on the StreamElements website just fine?

scarlet ferry
#

Yes, I can.

#

and I'm sure that window isn't in the background

odd kraken
#

When you select StreamElements at the top: Does it say log in at the bottom?

scarlet ferry
#

Yes it does

odd kraken
#

When you try to log in usign this, does the same happen?

scarlet ferry
#

it still doesn't log in but it's different, hold on let me take a gif again

#

this is what happens

#

I've also found out that there are browser pages open in obs when I looked at task manager

#

but they don't show up

odd kraken
#

Sorry. I am out of ideas. Maybe try to reinstall OBS.Live and OBS Studio? Ofc save your profiles and scene collections first.

scarlet ferry
#

can you help me on how to save them?

odd kraken
#

Select Profile > Export ; and select scene collection > Export

scarlet ferry
#

will I lose my settings though?

odd kraken
#

They should all be saved in the profiles save.

scarlet ferry
#

Okay so I won't lose anything it seems like

#

I'll be trying that, thanks

#

It did not work, it's sad because I wanted to use that stream management thingy. I'll keep looking for solutions and if you ever find new ideas be sure to tag me!

#

Have a nice day/night

rare night
#

@scarlet ferry Hello, if you're willing to do a short teamviewer remote connect session with me I will try to investigate further

scarlet ferry
#

of course I can do that.

rare night
#

ok I will DM you

scarlet ferry
#

Problem solved, apparently it's caused by twitch having "Always on top" enabled. To disable this, navigate to File and check the "Always on Top" tick off. Thanks for the support!

How I'm having a constant issue with my audio output not working, can I get some help ?

#

Hello! I am trying to stream and my Twitch connection says i'm not dropping any frames but OBS is being extremely stuttery

rocky tartan
#

I needed some help, I have configured everything on stream elements, but my tips, host and raids, doesn't show any alert, and doesn't even appear in activity feed, does anyone knows how to fix this?

odd kraken
#

Is the alert played in OBS in the canvas when you emulate a test alert with the checkbox next to the emulation bell being checked?

rocky tartan
#

I have tested in streamelements, and it appears on the obs

odd kraken
#

Was the tip made through your streamelements tip link?

rocky tartan
#

Yes, but I have the same problem in hosts and raids

deep birchBOT
#

Due to changes to Twitch API, we have filtered out hosts and will only show these ones on your activity feed:

  • All manual host events (0 hosts included and if filter set to 0)
  • All hosts coming from an online channel. If the hosting channel has been offline, we do not show it
  • All auto host events with at least 1 viewer
    Note: An offline host is when you see "X channel has just hosted you" - with no viewer numbers on the back
odd kraken
#

Did you recieve a confirmation mail that someone tipped you and the money is in your paypal?

rocky tartan
#

yes

#

watch that, I've tested with other account and with my friends account, and the host and raid doesn't appear too

#

It tells piscafps is hosting you and elchapokills is hosting you, but the alert, and activity feed doesn't do nothing

rare night
#

The bot explained it above

#

Note: An offline host is when you see "X channel has just hosted you" - with no viewer numbers on the back

#

We do not receive these from Twitch

#

Twitch shows it in chat. We do not receive these host events from Twitch.

rocky tartan
#

And tips?

#

The tips aren't doing alerts and doesn't appear on activity feed

@rugged quail If you are not seeing the OBS Twitch integrations and have OBS.Live installed, please follow these steps:

  1. Make sure you are on the latest and greatest version of OBS.Live ( 19.5.27.394 )
  2. exit OBS (make sure OBS is not running)
  3. delete %appdata%\obs-studio\plugin_config\obs-browser\obs_profile_cookies
  4. start OBS.Live
  5. Settings -> Stream -> disconnect -> connect

Hey, guys I need help, basically when i record or stream everything is fine but the audio from my mic gives off static and you can hear my voice in the background, it doesnt happen when talking online so could it be my mic or is it just something i didnt do or did do

rugged quail
#

Jep. Disconnecting and connecting did the trick! Thanks @odd kraken

plain sonnet
#

going over you log, do you have mic audio input in your scenes? if so remove it and set it up on the mixer only @supple wharf

supple wharf
#

@plain sonnet do you want me to send you my stream log?

plain sonnet
#

if you have updated it since the last post then yes please

supple wharf
plain sonnet
supple wharf
#

I dont think so, I mean these had been there when i downloaded it but i did have it previously downloaded so it may be an added input from back when i tried to stream

#

If thats what you mean

plain sonnet
#

if you arent using them (and dont know what they are) its best to remove it, just in case.

so first thing to check is that the correct mic is set to obs and not something else,
settings > audio > mic

#

then look at maybe adding filters to the mic such as a noise suppression

supple wharf
#

yup, found the noise suppression

plain sonnet
#

what sort of mic do you have?

supple wharf
#

Well its a microphone thats part of a headset, its a turtle beach recon X60 im pretty sure

plain sonnet
#

ah ok

#

may want to look at a noise gate filter also

#

you can set your mic to monitor out (make sure the sound is set to your headset) so you can hear it while you adjust.
just remember to turn it off after

supple wharf
#

Yo that worked XD Thanks man! Once i put the noise gate in it completely stopped and yup i've been using that monitor thing to figure out how to stop it

#

Thank you so much @plain sonnet !

Okay. I'm just starting up with obs.live, I was told by many people that I could see/hear actual alerts without having my preview open

#

I may be dunce, but I can't seem to figure out how to do this so far

odd kraken
#

You should be able to hear the alert itself, like your stream does then. Also you can look at your activity feed to see the past events.
When you disable your preview you cannot see your alert in OBS.Live.

ah so once the browser source is in it plays the audio directly to me

#

is there a way I can test alerts then?

And sorry to post on the wrong session I completely forgot the obslive chat

No worries.

Have you tried restarting your computer already? If so: will be best to report the issue to the Devs with the 'Report Issue' in OBS.

@placid iron Please send in an issue report so our team can investigate using the program's logs:

does anyone know how to fix an activity feed

#

it just stopped working for me and i dont know what to do

deep birchBOT
somber walrus
#

thanks but i already tried that i think i will just do the uninstall reinstall trick but thank you

#

its weird because it doesnt even say in chat

#

like if someone follows

hallow wasp
#

hello, the "hide video" button is not working, I click on it but the video from youtube is still showing,!

#

(media request)

odd kraken
#

@somber walrusIs there no entry on your activity feed or a chat announcement on a follow, like every follow now and then?

#

@hallow wasp Do you just use OBS.Live at this time? Do you press the hide video button in the OBS.Live MediaRequest dock?

rare night
#

@hallow wasp "Hide video" refers to the video in the overlay widget (on stream), not the video in the media request dock (where you control media request)

#

just want to make sure we're talking about the same thing

somber walrus
#

@odd kraken its been fine untill now streamelments doesnt say when a new follow comes in chat or anything else such as bits. Its the same in the OBS. i used streamelments for a while and i never had a problem. i did all the basic tricks like refresh and relog to streamelments so i dont know what is up

odd kraken
#

Have you tried to part the bot in your dashboard on the right, log out of the dashboard, log back in and invite the bot back to your channel?
Also are the cheer events in your activity feed?

hallow wasp
#

@odd kraken yes, i use obs.live but i don't use the widget on the stream
@rare night is there any way to hide the video playback from the obs.live?

anyone on to help me with a question without sending me to the obs page that will not help me or answer my question's lol

shy mountain
#

Depending on the nature of the question.

#

We are not full OBS support here and try and help as much as we know.

#

And best place for OBS Studio help is their discord.

rugged quail
#

ik i joined it asked my question for like 3 days in a row and never saw a single mod or anyone else who wanted to help so wanted to try my luck here

shy mountain
#

Looking at the question you asked, I doubt we can help either.

#

Maybe you didn't ask at the proper time in the OBS discord.

rugged quail
#

ok so i use the elgato hd60 s and in my mixer it is not picking up my game sound i have talked to elgato and tried to talk to the obs people and no one can figure out where my sound is going lol

shy mountain
#

Ok here goes.

#

Have you checked the audio channels in OBS?

#

Maybe you need to place elgato here somewhere?

#

Or maybe its playing in the desktop audio and you are not capturing it properly.

#

Thats all I can think off.

rugged quail
#

thanks i shall take a look i have had like 4 people who build computers and or stream that i know try and take a look and they cant even figure it out so was just going to test my luck and see if anyone here would know, was worth a shot but honestly thanks @shy mountain for trying, maybe one day i shall see you in the dreamteam, gotta grow more

What do you see when they want to log in to your OBS.Live? Any error message?

I hit the logout and then when the website opens he hits the login it auto logs my account in on my machine

Do you also have your account connected in the OBS settings as for example for the streamKey?

'yes

Best to log out of there, too, as you maybe want to stream to the same account as well as you want to use the OBS.Live docks.

hi there, looking for some help. Using obs live and new subs are not showing up in the activity feed and alerts are not working. any ideas?

odd kraken
#

Is it just for subscribers or only for follows?

clear mesa
#

@odd kraken its everything but follows are showing up in the activity feed atleast

odd kraken
#

When you emulate an event in the overlay editor, is this coming up in OBS when you have the checkbox next to the emulation bell activated?

clear mesa
#

i imported my alerts from streamlabs obs. so im not quite sure what you are meaning

deep birchBOT
clear mesa
#

@odd kraken yes just went and checked and the check box next to the bell for emulation is active

odd kraken
#

Please emulate an event, to see if the emuatled event is coming up in your OBS Studio please.

clear mesa
#

@odd kraken so when i do this it shows up in the editor but not on my stream

odd kraken
#

When you checked the little check box it should come up in your OBS, too. Best to check your settings of your alertbox and your overlay with the alertbox in OBS.

deep birchBOT
#

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 โ˜‘ โ€œShutdown source when not visibleโ€ https://youtu.be/KDvLynUqXI4

clear mesa
#

@odd kraken okay sounds good thank you i will try to figure it out. but do you know why it would not show up in my live activity feed though?

#

i noticed it only works all the time for followers. a lot of times for hosts and subs it wont show up in the activity feed

odd kraken
#

For followers there is an issue with twitch not sending us every follower here and there. For hosts, I will link you something. Not sure why the subs are not showing up in the ActivityFeed. Make sue you have the filters set correctly in your activity feed.

deep birchBOT
#

Due to changes to Twitch API, we have filtered out hosts and will only show these ones on your activity feed:

  • All manual host events (0 hosts included and if filter set to 0)
  • All hosts coming from an online channel. If the hosting channel has been offline, we do not show it
  • All auto host events with at least 1 viewer
    Note: An offline host is when you see "X channel has just hosted you" - with no viewer numbers on the back

Hey guys, so basically my problem is that the game feels choppy and there is a lot of input lag when I stream. The FPS is fine, it is well over 100 but it feels very laggy and not smooth. The stream also looks fine.

#

I'm streaming at 1280x720, 60fps, 5000 bitrate using x264 encoder

oh yeah i disabled all that but i recently had to reset my pc so my settings and stuff reset if orgot about that

plain sonnet
#

so there are 2 issues, render lag and dropped frames
here is your report, how-to links inside https://h4ndy.eu/obslog?url=https%3A%2F%2Fobsproject.com%2Flogs%2Fs2V5icqNvXNrDHJx

i would reccomend changing your encoder to NVENC (new) and turn off look-ahead and psycho-visual tuning in encoder settings

also you cant capture chrome or and browser with a game capture,
you would need either display or window capture.

make sure vsync is turned on in your game settings

ebon parcel
#

thanks

#

i don't like using NVENC cuz it drops my quality by a lot and it looks a lot more pixelated

plain sonnet
#

ok

tulip hamlet

@opaque pagoda The Themes gallery is a set of premade themes designed by our team. You don't necessarily have to use them, but what's there is what's there. You can set up everything on your own instead by going to My overlays and creating your own.

#

Hello I am trying to link my Spotify to my obs live and have no idea how. Already have it linked to my stream elements but itโ€™s not showing anywhere. Can anyone help me please??

tulip hamlet
#

Once it's linked, you add a Now playing widget to your overlay and set it to reference your Spotify. There's no section in OBS.Live for Spotify. You just play it as normal and the widget reads your account and sees what's currently being played.

Hey there, seems like I cannot connect to G2A Pay. Any Tips?

@tulip hamlet Okay, I have chosen SE.Pay now. What is the difference between business and individual bank account type?

tulip hamlet
#

Generally, you'd know if you opened a business account.

how?

Of my bank here locally?

tulip hamlet

Yeah, this is strictly about your bank account.

oh

#

Is there a way to adjust my alert volume in a very quick way in obs or somewhere else while I am streaming? I do not want to adjust the volume of each and every single alert in the overlay panel.

tulip hamlet
#

Each alert type and variation has to have its volume manually adjusted. Which is an important thing considering most people use different sounds for different variations.

plain compass
#

Yes I know this, but I see other streamers adjust their volumes just in time. And I dont know how they are doing it

#

This might not be streamelements related

tulip hamlet
#

Could just be within OBS itself, couldn't tell you for sure.

plain compass
#

First off, I really like the concept of streamelements. This is why I am changing

More options and so on. Keep it up!

Quick question, how does one add a streamelements alert overlay to streamlabs obs I've tried adding it as a browser source.

deep birchBOT
#

@inner hare 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 โ˜‘ โ€œShutdown source when not visibleโ€ https://youtu.be/KDvLynUqXI4

inner hare
#

Didn't work, when I launch the overlay the page is just white

tulip hamlet
#

If there's no active graphics, of course it'll look white in the browser. But it's in fact transparent, and the "white" is the browser's background.

Thank you keizar, I found out what to do

Ok so, I have a i7 7700k 4.20 ghz, 16 gigs of ram, and a gtx 1070, 240hz monitor and 60hz monitor (2 monitors not sure if this is important) and no matter what I do my stream will never get 60 fps even at 720p does anyone know good settings for me? I have been trying for hours and can't get anything to work.

shy mountain
#

Having 2 different monitors at different Hz can lag your stream actually.

bright geyser
#

Oh

shy mountain
#

Just to be on the safe side

deep birchBOT
#

@bright geyser Please provide a log from your last stream. To do this, in OBS go to Help > Log Files > Upload Last Log File and paste the link to the log file here.

bright geyser
bright geyser
#

Do you have any recommendations to stop the lag?

shy mountain

Yes

#

Follow the red and yellow warnings

#

Should I use game capture instead of display capture?

shy mountain
#

Some games like Destiny 2 doesn't like Game capture

bright geyser
#

And is there any chance my scene is affecting it alot?

shy mountain
#

I think having a 240hz and a 60hz monitor is affecting more then anything else to be honest

#

GPUs don't like it both monitors have different Hz

#

did you do everything in the analyzer?

bright geyser
#

I am right now

#

It says browser sources are performance killers, should I get rid of the browser source that adds my theme?

shy mountain
#

How many browser sources do you have?

bright geyser
#

one

shy mountain
#

Then don't remove it

bright geyser
#

ok

shy mountain
#

as it has your overlay.

#

If you have multiple and its affecting your CPU greatly then yes

bright geyser
#

well I did some things, I'll test it now

shy mountain
#

but in this case no

bright geyser
#

Still having fps drops, it says encoding overloaded

#

My stream elements overlay editor isn't displaying the right number of follows or subscribers, will it display correctly when I'm actually streaming?

shy mountain
#

I see that the totals we have are showing correct follower number.

#

What type of widget have you added?

vivid shadow
#

Ive added both a follow goal and sub goal, and both are displaying the number of subs and follows I've gotten since swapping, not the total amount I have

#

Swapping to stream elements that is

shy mountain
#

Well that is correct. Goal progression is only tracked from the moment you sign up with us.

vivid shadow
#

is there any way to fix this? @shy mountain

shy mountain
#

From the overlay editor -> data on top -> goal tab

#

from the dashboard -> activity feed on the left -> widget data on the right -> goals tab

vivid shadow
#

appreciated, and after fixing that all additional follows and subs will be added?

shy mountain
#

yes

vivid shadow
#

I really appreciate it @shy mountain

shy mountain
#

But do note that the goal widgets do not track totals, only progression up

vivid shadow
#

So will the sub goal count for lost subs?

shy mountain
#

But do note that the goal widgets do not track totals, only progression up

vivid shadow
#

okay, I missed that in the phrasing, thank you

#

so that will need to be manually changed as it happens

shy mountain
#

To an extent yes

#

What you can use instead is

#

the total followers and total subscriber count widgets

vivid shadow
#

so what would you reccomend is the best way to set up a better functioning goal widget? I've seen others do this better in the past

vivid shadow
#

okay, perfect, thank you

#

It wasn't clear to me at first, but I think I get it now, thank you @shy mountain

@deep birch I connected my Twitch to Discord. My "Starting Soon" screen doesn't seem to work yet. Can't find out what the problem is. I used a premade Overlay on SE.

@opaque pagoda 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 โ˜‘ โ€œShutdown source when not visibleโ€ https://youtu.be/KDvLynUqXI4

Also what OBS Studio version (top left) are you on? @opaque pagoda

Top left SmugMira drink

odd kraken
#

oops. you are right. The version number is in the top left of OBS Studio.

thorny mica
#

FIGURED IT OUT!

#

thanks @odd kraken

opaque pagoda
#

@odd kraken I'm on the new OBS Live from SE. My chatwindow in other scenes work perfectly but only in "Starting soon" it doens't work. When I go to edit the scene on SE the chatwindow is there so I don't know what is wrong.

odd kraken
#

Have you added it like described by the bot above?

thorny mica
#

I had another question too. Is there a way i can update my friends obs from my computer, say like fortnitetracker wins/kd overlay. i dont think so since its a direct change to obs and would have to be on his pc

opaque pagoda
#

I added a new browser source with the link of the overlay by SE.

#

I did it with all of them this way and the others work

odd kraken
#

Please delete the browser source and readd it to OBS.

opaque pagoda
#

Ok do I add it again?

#

I tried it yesterday and didn't work as well.

odd kraken

@thorny mica You can edit an overlay when you have got an editor access to their streamelements account.

thorny mica
#

@odd kraken so if i wanted to add a new overlay or whatever i could if i have that enabled for them?

odd kraken
#

They need to enter the overlay url themselves to their OBS.

thorny mica
#

okay thats what i thought

odd kraken
#

You could then edit the overlay with an editor access to their account.

thorny mica
#

right right

opaque pagoda
#

@odd kraken I readd the browser source. Still not doing anything.

#

@odd kraken Could you help me with something else, yesterday I wanted to test a stream on Twitch. Even though I had the streamkey and the key for bandwith test set up, he switched to Facebook Live. I can't figure out what happend

odd kraken
#

Why don't u use the log in feature of OBS Studio? So you don't need the StreamKey any more.

#

Also can you give me via PM an editor access to your StreamElements bot so I can take a look at your starting scene overlay?

opaque pagoda
#

I will try the log in feature. I tell you in one minute if it works

#

@odd kraken I've set it up, when I push "Start Stream" I get a window pop up for Facebook Live, although I was signed in with Twitch

odd kraken
#

Can you please log out of OBS Studio and OBS.Live and log in with both your twitch account. Something seems to be not right here.

deep birchBOT

@opaque pagoda Follow these steps to grant managers/moderators access to your dashboard:

  1. Click on your Channel Name at the top of the dashboard and select Settings
  2. Create a new invite at one of three access levels (Bot Supervisor, Editor, Full Control)
  3. Send this invite to a mod/manager to give them access to your dashboard. The link is one-time-use and expires after 72 hours if not accepted

@tulip hamlet I think it is almost working. Now it says that there is an error because apparently I am using IPv6 but the stream only has IPv4 info. When I go to the "advanced settings" I can't click where the IP is. Can't change anything there

@odd kraken I finally found it. I had issues with OBS live itself because I couldn't set IP to default, I did now and I am testing my stream with bandwith tester

Thanks to all of you that helped me! Really appreciate it!

Please, never change anything in the advanced section. There aren't any settings that are necessary for streaming or recording that have to be changed.

Wait... Did you use your stream key or did you use the connect button?

Both at the same time doesn't work

And you checked the "Bandwith test mode" box?

I seem to have some lose there... My bitrate is in the settings set to 3000 but with inspector I see about 2400

That's normal. The number isn't always perfect. Fluctiations are expected.

+-2000

Ok cool, I've set my stream to scale down to 720p 60 fps and only a CPU usage of about 6%, I am so happy that I made the step to this! This is dope bro

@hollow sedge If you are not seeing the OBS Twitch integrations and have OBS.Live installed, please follow these steps:

  1. Make sure you are on the latest and greatest version of OBS.Live ( 19.5.27.394 )

I applied the "Danger Zone" theme to my OBS Studio and am using Stream Elements to edit overlays. However, it has little animations on loops for each scene, and whenever I go to edit these overlays, I get a "laggy" experience and the animations slow down and I have to wait for the computer to respond

odd kraken
#

What browser are you using?

hidden zinc
#

@odd kraken Torch

#

It slows down on my Twitch stream as well, when I watch it back

deep birchBOT
#

@hidden zinc Please provide a log from your last stream. To do this, in OBS go to Help > Log Files > Upload Last Log File and paste the link to the log file here.

hidden zinc
odd kraken
#

There is no output session in there. Was hoping to see some issues there.

#

How much CPU load do you have when you have OBS open and try to edit the overlay?

hidden zinc
#

@odd kraken fluctuates b/w 11.7 and 14.3%

odd kraken
#

Can you try to edit the overlay in chrome and see if you are still getting these issues?

hidden zinc
#

Wait one

#

@odd kraken It spiked to 12.5 to 15% and StreamElements is taking too long to load

odd kraken
#

What internet connection do you have? upload and download?

hidden zinc
#

Download 104.83
Upload 10.09

odd kraken
#

From what I see you should be good. No idea why the overlay is lagging when you stream. Maybe with your stream running you are maxing out your GPU or CPU and you can't have the browser open next to the stream.

hidden zinc
#

@odd kraken You might be right. Will check again after my next one tonight

rugged quail
odd kraken
#

I recommend trying to make the text color black. Also I would try to make the picture fit to an 1920x1080 overlay fully at the bottom, to get the best result when adding it to OBS.

Do I need an elgato for obs to work

#

With my ps4

steel mural
#

Not an Elgato, a capture card in general, yes.

novel karma
#

Oh

#

Thanks

steel mural
#

"Elgato" is just a brand and tbh, I wouldn't buy a capture card from them. If you want something high quality, look for stuff from "Blackmagic Design" and "Magewell". It will cost more but is more reliable.

novel karma
#

Ok cool. Another question, will obs work with windows 8

steel mural
#

It does, but I'd recommend you to update to Window 10 sooner or later because the older windows version start to loose support. The "new" NVENC version for example, doesn't work on Windows 7 because it lacks some features. Same thing could happen with Windows 8 and 8.1.

Ok so I switched over to Streamelements a few weeks back and I have been having majkor issues with my alerts not popping up from followers. In my Twitch feed I see that I get a follow, ins my statistics after the stream these followers count. But for some darned reason they do NOT pop up in the OBS live feed hence, not trigger the alert for a follower. Can someone please help me what is going on, because Ive asked my most experienced friends and they dont even know so Iam turning to you. Does anyone know what the heck is going on and why the follows wont go into my OBS Live etc. or trigger the follower alert?

There is an issue with the follower events and we are working with Twitch on fixing it, but no ETA on when its going to be fully fixed.

hello
i'm new here
i dont get my alert box in obs live

odd kraken
#

You need to create an overlay with an alerbox widget and add this overlay url into OBS.

deep birchBOT
#

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 โ˜‘ โ€œShutdown source when not visibleโ€ https://youtu.be/KDvLynUqXI4

spiral lagoon
#

is it possible to test alerts?

deep birchBOT
#

@spiral lagoon To test/emulate alerts, hover over the blue bell at the bottom of the overlay editor. From here you can select the type of event and the amount to test.

I can't send the test message, and it's the chat widget

Where are you trying to capture these from? Are they all in different tabs in your browser or are they in one programm next to each other?

Can you show me a screenshot of the things you want to capture?

mossy pier
#

ok

#

pm? or here

odd kraken
#

here.

mossy pier
#

i want to make switch one by one table in that screen, not 4 in same time

odd kraken
#

You could create 4 scenes with a capture of the 4 tables, set up hotkeys to switch to these scenes, minimize OBS and see all the four tables in your programm and then hit the number to switch to the scene with the table you want to show while seeing all 4 on your own screen.

mossy pier
#

Does that mean I do not have to re-source tables again? and that means again to make scene for table 1 2 3 4?

odd kraken
#

Create a source for each table and add a screen capture or game capture or window capture part of the table you want to show in this scene as source. Then set a hotkey to these 4 scenes and the viewer will see whatevery ou switch to and you can see the 4 tables on your screen.

mossy pier
#

thqnx i wil try now

mossy pier
#

i do that and i see now table by table.But i must make again my cam seeing ond other things or somewhere copy ?

odd kraken
#

Create your cam one time and then use the add existing function when you add the cam source.

mossy pier
#

yes but in new scenes i dont have cam and my tittle

odd kraken
#

You can add the source in this scene.

mossy pier
#

ok i see now thanx

edgy jacinth

Hiya! I exported a QuickTime.mov with a transparent background but when I load it on as a video for an alert it shows as a black background. Shows as transparent in AE and Premier.

Ideas?

odd kraken
#

Try to convert it to .webm.

edgy jacinth
#

Ohhhh I will try that tonight. Thanks!

mossy pier
#

hmm i open now 4 tables but i see old lol

odd kraken
#

I though you can see all 4 tables in your programm with OBS minimized, and switch to the table you want to show on stream with your hotkey. So the stream will only see the scene with the table you created and you see all 4 in the programm itself, not OBS.

mossy pier
#

im tired i make all god and now again i see only one table in all 4 scenes

odd kraken
#

The preview is what the stream will see. You won't be able to see all 4 tables and the stream will only see one in your OBS.

mossy pier
#

I understand this, but I did everything you told me and only one I see again, the same and when I switch to 1 2 3 4

#

i make mistake somewhere

odd kraken
#

I think when you just haev got 1 monitor then you can't have the game open with all 4 tables and have OBS open at the same time with only showing one table. You need to look at the game itself to see all 4 tables and just broadcast with the minimized OBS the table you want to be broadcastet. Then you can switch through the tables with your hotkeys. But you won't see a preview, cause OBS is minimised.

mossy pier
#

ok thanx i will try

peak roost

Hello, I posted here recently and gave my recent stream log and was told it was a network issue on my part. I've flushed dns, set static ip, checked ping -t, re-installed chipset and graphics drivers, changed bit rates and had my ISP come out and check for themselves and can assure it isn't a network issue on my part. The issue at hand is every 30 seconds, my bit rate drops to zero resulting in frame drops. I monitor my connection throughout the drops and even have tried it on many servers but they all react the same. Here is my most recent log. https://obsproject.com/logs/-WvpFuYqHzi6ffgz

trying to edit my text overlays but re-centering them is a pain since I have to keep resizing them and they always snap upwards.. Is there an easier way to do this?

odd kraken
#

I am not sure what you mean with snapping upwards, but you can use the position, size and style card when you have the text widget selected to give precise data where the widgets posiotion is.

#

@spice kernel There is a newer version of OBS Studio (latest version: 23.2.1) and then most likely OBS.Live (latest version: 19.6.26.414) available. Best to update these and try again.

hidden zinc
#

@odd kraken Every time I try to center it (left) it will snap upwards (right) and then I have to resize each individual box until I have them centered

odd kraken
#

I recommend using the position and size options of the widgets to align them properly and not dragging them around, cause this may make them move not as precisely as you would be able to do with entering the numbers.

#

Also in the advanced text settings you can edit the margin of the text.

Put yourself on do not disturb or edit the message sounds in discord.

You would need to route the discord audio and exclude it from your OBS input. There are some softwares out there, which can do this for you like virtual audio cable, but we can't support you with the setup.

how do i get downloaded overlays onto my stream

odd kraken
#

No need to download the overlays. StreamElements is all cloud based so your overlays are stored in the cloud and are added as browser source to your stream.

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 โ˜‘ โ€œShutdown source when not visibleโ€ https://youtu.be/KDvLynUqXI4

Hey, I'm using OBS.Live and Streamelements overlays and it's giving me huge fps drops without recording or streaming. I've got the sources to shutdown on inactive and dropped the fps of them to 15 but it tanks my fps. Without the scenes or the overlays I barely get any fps impact. Is there a fix for this?

odd kraken
#

Do you use a widget like kappagen or an animated overlay?

nocturne rain
#

One of the streamelements animated super themes

Without it my game fps is around 160 while streaming, with the overlay I drop to 60-80 without streaming or recording

Seems like the overlay is just chugging frames despite it being a browser source

@odd kraken Static overlay gives me roughly 170fps constant. Animated overlay drops it to 80fps and stutters my game hard. I tried to eliminate any variables by playing the same map, character and take the same path during my test

@nocturne rain Please provide a log from your last stream. To do this, in OBS go to Help > Log Files > Upload Last Log File and paste the link to the log file here.

I don't have a log from the stream, the overlay stutters my game with OBS just being open

odd kraken
#

What CPU and GPU do you have?

nocturne rain
#

Ryzen 5 1600 and an RTX 2060

#

Using the new Nvenc encoder

#

This issue only happens with the animated overlay

odd kraken
#

Do you have the browser source hardware acceleration enabled in the advanced settings in OBS?

nocturne rain
#

Yes

#

Should I disable it?

odd kraken
#

try that please.

nocturne rain
#

Disabled it but it hasn't changed anything

odd kraken
#

Then I am out of ideas here, I am sorry. Maybe another supporter who has a better knowledge of the settings in OBS has any idea on this.

so im having trouble with the media request because it is playing overlaping in my headphones and on my stream plz help

@soft pelican Make sure to โ˜‘ โ€œShutdown source when not visibleโ€ for all browser sources (all OBS scenes). If using studio mode, uncheck โ€œSwap Preview/Output scenes After Transitioning.โ€ 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

Hi @jolly fiber, Please ask your question(s) or describe the problem you're looking to solve so staff or a support volunteer can assist you as soon as they are available.

So ive been trying to stream recently and ive ran into the problem of having my mic audio in stream really quiet. but in obs my mic audio is maxing out. i tested my mic through the windows sound setting and its coming out in the really low end.

gritty elm
#

guys how do i change the stream name?

tulip hamlet
#

@jolly fiber This sounds like more to do with how Windows is handling your microphone than anything to do with OBS or StreamElements. While someone might be able to help you if you're lucky, in general it's not something we can really assist with here.

#

@gritty elm Hamburger menu in the top left of the activity feed.

gritty elm
#

in the web?

tulip hamlet
#

In OBS.Live.

gritty elm
#

oh thx

tulip hamlet
#

That means there's no information for tipper or tip in the time frame the widget is set to look at.

gritty elm
#

So there are no problems?

tulip hamlet
#

Not necessarily.

Hello anyone here to help me with importing overlays from SLOBS? - receiving following message since yesterday (1st day of Selements) "Import failed. Please try again later"

odd kraken
#

Be aware that we can't import overlays with files bigger than 10mb and containing default StreamLabs assets.

dusty otter
#

ok mine is much bigger due to video in background and webcam etc.

#

there is no way to import it other way? I really liked to give selements a try, but redoing allll those scenes seems like a hell to me.

odd kraken
#

You could try to create a new overlay on StreamLabs side without teh big video files and try to import this one.
