@edgy ridge This is an analysis of your log file with tips on how to improve: https://h4ndy.eu/obslog?url=https%3A%2F%2Fobsproject.com%2Flogs%2FcgdqeZEKGMoaZXDs
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
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
@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.
Sure give me 2 minutes if thats okay?
Here you go: https://obsproject.com/logs/qNA7SydTenF7CCdO
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 youโd like. The #๐ญ๏ธฑfeedback-and-ideas channel is best used for discussing ideas already on the board.
and btw it doesnt show any log files on Facebook's side by everything is perfect.
like 'event logs' even*
here is your report https://h4ndy.eu/obslog?url=https%3A%2F%2Fobsproject.com%2Flogs%2FqNA7SydTenF7CCdO
how-to links inside
i would suggest the following:
use the NVENC (new) encoder, turn off look-ahead and psycho-visual tuning
keep your output canvas at 1280 if your bitrate is around 3K
work through the report and above then do a clean log and paste it here
which bitrate should i use im on 17.5mbps speed
or should i do a re test i tested it yesterday?
rule of thumb is 75-80% of your total upload speed, but you need to check what facebooks limit is
something like facebook livestrem bitrate limit
lol
limit for 720p?
for 1080
or*
acebook livestrem bitrate limit 720p or 180p or without either
1080(
i have no idea what their limit is,
they wont have one for resolution, just bitrate (i would imagine)
I found a link you might yourself sir understand it clearer https://www.facebook.com/help/1534561009906955?helpref=faq_content
To live stream on Facebook, you can follow our recommended guidelines.
@plain sonnet do you think my pc can handle streaming 1080p or use 720?
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 : )
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? ๐
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
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?
you can just switch it back to simple mode, make the changes above and do a new log, then we can go from there
ah right thanks saves the hassle I guess.
@plain sonnet streaming birate is currently 10k change it to 4k or?
yeh, if fb max is 4 then theres no point going over it
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
x264 is the encoder; h264 is the codec.
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
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.
Thank you ๐
jusy tryna possibly live a dream u know ๐
ordered a 1080 cam with a micrphone as well for streams might increase fan base.
do i untick or tick 'Enable Advance Encoder Settings' ?
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
@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.
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 ๐ฎ
@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.
and what about the resolution on fortnite ingame the same? and fps is currently opn 60 in game and runs smooth
@odd kraken thanks a lot for the reply. I'll either ask twitch or go for another name ๐
fortnite feels a touch better while playing if im doing 720 res ingame settings though, hmm?
@rugged quail These are questions best to ask the real guys at the OBS discord. I am not too savy with these settings.
can i send over my event logs if i do a quick stream test to see if my pixelation loss in game goes?
You can always analyse your logs with this tool yourself: https://h4ndy.eu/obslog
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?
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.
The downscale filters are needed what do ineed to change then? and what shall i use bilinear, lncoz or?
Whatevery your system can handle. More quality costs more CPU. Bilinear is cheapest. Lanczos is most expensive.
That would be a perfect question for the OBS discord, as I don't know what the difference is myself.
can u give me a link to the obs discord exactly please
@rugged quail For the best OBS support, please join their Official Discord @ discord.gg/obsproject
thankyou
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 
You use OBS.Live to set the custom bot name? What happens when you try to set it up in OBS.Live?
Yes I do, it doesnt show the option to change the name in the ground ground control thingie. 
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
can you show a screenshot of where you are stuck in ground control
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?
the part where you try and change the name for the bot
thats the problem, it doesnt even give me the option to change it
@midnight matrix For the best OBS support, please join their Official Discord @ discord.gg/obsproject
@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
Thats how my friends settings look like
Thanks, I appreciate it ^^
no need to hurry i just got my PC today and im trying to set up some stuff 
@stoic grove quick question, whats the custom bots account name?
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)
ok, best to make an account now and mod it so it will be easier for the admins
awesome, i will update the message
would be awesome! thanks ^^
Hi there, I can't seem to find where I can change my bots name? Thank you
Take a look at this manual: https://discordapp.com/channels/141203863863558144/494513233416421386/561516184718278676
Thank you so much! โค
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
What version of OBS studio and OBS.Live are you on?
Do you have any anti virus tool running?
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.
Can you log in on the StreamElements website just fine?
Yes, I can.
https://gyazo.com/02e5ed3b6a24de7bb1bb837b94052b64 quick gif of what it looks like
and I'm sure that window isn't in the background
When you select StreamElements at the top: Does it say log in at the bottom?
Yes it does
When you try to log in usign this, does the same happen?
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
Sorry. I am out of ideas. Maybe try to reinstall OBS.Live and OBS Studio? Ofc save your profiles and scene collections first.
can you help me on how to save them?
Select Profile > Export ; and select scene collection > Export
will I lose my settings though?
They should all be saved in the profiles save.
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
@scarlet ferry Hello, if you're willing to do a short teamviewer remote connect session with me I will try to investigate further
of course I can do that.
ok I will DM you
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
@warm marten For the best OBS support, please join their Official Discord @ discord.gg/obsproject
@umbral solstice 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 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?
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?
I have tested in streamelements, and it appears on the obs
Was the tip made through your streamelements tip link?
Yes, but I have the same problem in hosts and raids
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
Did you recieve a confirmation mail that someone tipped you and the money is in your paypal?
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
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.
can you help me

@plain sonnet I have no idea how but I managed to set up the bots name, thanks regardless! 
Hello, i have a problem with loading overlay on site, it keeps buffering and only shows top settings bar. This only happens with my old overlay, if i create a new one its all okay. I tried hard reload, duplicating it and renaming, doesnt help. Thank you!

@odd kraken

I have standard obs program
Do you use OBS.Live? The StreamElements plugin?

@hollow fjord For the best OBS support, please join their Official Discord @ discord.gg/obsproject

I might be dumb or stupid, but somehow i miss some options about changing the title and that kind of stuff which i had before....
What OBS Studio version (top left) are you on?
23.2.1
Are logged in to OBS Studio?
Eh... ๐
When you select View > Docks > Stream Information, can you activate that?
don't know.. never did that on purpose... ๐
well, its in dutch, but i don't have it
Only scenes, sources, mixer, transitions, controls, statistics and chat
@rugged quail If you are not seeing the OBS Twitch integrations and have OBS.Live installed, please follow these steps:
- Make sure you are on the latest and greatest version of OBS.Live ( 19.5.27.394 )
- exit OBS (make sure OBS is not running)
- delete
%appdata%\obs-studio\plugin_config\obs-browser\obs_profile_cookies - start OBS.Live
- 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
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
@plain sonnet do you want me to send you my stream log?
if you have updated it since the last post then yes please
are any of these an added mic inpput?
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
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
right click on the mic in the mixer and select filters
yup, found the noise suppression
what sort of mic do you have?
Well its a microphone thats part of a headset, its a turtle beach recon X60 im pretty sure
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
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 !
my error pls help me?
log out of obs.live then log back in
did not work

Hello, i have a friend who doesn't have the Streamelements Tab located on the top left of OBS next to the Help button. Is this something that can be resolved?
Try to restart OBS. If it is still not there, install OBS.Live.
hello
i have set up obs and i adjusted the screen size by mistake and now i just have a black screen on my preview
how can i get the game screen back
Select the game screen source and hit crtl + F to make the source fit the canvas.
hellooo
@prime girder Welcome to the helpdesk! Please let us know how we can assist you today and a support volunteer or staff member will assist you as soon as they are available. Thank you for your patience.
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
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?
@prime girder You can test Alerts via the bell on the lower right corner of the Overlay Editor. Simply go to your Dashboard -> My Overlays -> Pencil/edit button on the overlay. Make sure the "Show Emulated events on stream" option is on to see the alert in OBS/Xsplit https://streamable.com/h6qgy
ahh

how to you get out of bandwidth mode on obs
in OBS: Settings > Stream either delete the test definition at teh end of your streamKey or disable the checkbox: Enable Bandwith Test Mode
THANKS!
think i found a bug in obs live. If you have hotkeys set up in media requests but the widget isn't even checked to show on obs live they still play if you use the hotkeys.
@placid iron What version of OBS.Live are you using? Bottom right of OBS.
19.6.26.414
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:
Report an Issue
โซ Select "StreamElements" at the top of OBS
โซ Select "Report an Issue"

Not yet, i can try this, if doesn't work I'll do the report, thank you for now American

Didn't worked, gonna do the report :)
Understood. For the best to look further into that 
does anyone know how to fix an activity feed
it just stopped working for me and i dont know what to do
@somber walrus Each of the OBS.Live docks have a reload button (top left) and a close button (top right) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0GtLCnhR_-M
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
hello, the "hide video" button is not working, I click on it but the video from youtube is still showing,!
(media request)
@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?
@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
@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
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?
@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?
Trying to get help! Profile Page on Elements will not update. Keeps saying "error update profiles"
"there was an error updating your settings" - ?
Anyone?
in obs.live or on the se dashboard?
in the elements dashboard
will let the admins know
So nothing I can do about it? Because it's old info, my social media info has changed....
not yet, btw, what browser are you using?
I have tried: IE, Opera, Firefox, and GC
hmmm ok, i have let them know, hope to get back to you soon
@hallow wasp There is not
@lament garnet On the page that gives an error, press F12 to open Developer Tools. Navigate to โNetworkโ at the top and then Select โXHRโ in the filter section. Try the action again that gave the error and note in the network tab any red text. Please copy and paste the error information that is given when clicking on this red text.
could you post the screen shot of the error here
I think I may have just found the issue, I will if this does not work.
ok

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.
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
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.
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
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.
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
Ok hubby cant login to his obslive from my machine his is broken atm how do we do that
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.
Ok so to log his account in on my machine we have to use his streamkey in the OBS settings Boy i sound like a newb Shakes Head*
If you want to stream on your account, log in to both with your account. If you want to stream on their account, log in to both with their credentials.
OK tyvm highly embrassed*
No need to be embarrassed. We are here to support you. 
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?
Is it just for subscribers or only for follows?
@odd kraken its everything but follows are showing up in the activity feed atleast
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?
i imported my alerts from streamlabs obs. so im not quite sure what you are meaning
You can test Alerts via the bell on the lower right corner of the Overlay Editor. Simply go to your Dashboard -> My Overlays -> Pencil/edit button on the overlay. Make sure the "Show Emulated events on stream" option is on to see the alert in OBS/Xsplit https://streamable.com/h6qgy
@odd kraken yes just went and checked and the check box next to the bell for emulation is active
Please emulate an event, to see if the emuatled event is coming up in your OBS Studio please.
@odd kraken so when i do this it shows up in the editor but not on my stream
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.
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 โShutdown source when not visibleโ https://youtu.be/KDvLynUqXI4
@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
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.
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
Are the Subs Twitch Prime?
@dry sphinx yes subs are twitch prime
@clear mesa Twitch prime (new and resub) and paid subscriptions (resub only) must be shared in chat manually by the person subscribing in order for the subscription information to be sent to StreamElements. For twitch prime, the user needs to have sharing enabled on https://www.twitch.tv/settings/prime. For paid subs, if the share box doesn't show up immediately it will when they refresh the page. https://i.imgur.com/VNJN0Uv.gif https://i.imgur.com/2297EA7.png
thank you guys for your help, i will see if i can fix my issues with alerts and such not going off!
Hello! Can anyone help me please? I am new to SE OBS.Live and I have issues when I log in with my Facebook page: I can't set up my alerts and stuff... Can anyone help?
OBS.Live is only a companion plugin. Setup is done on the site.
@tulip hamlet I tried but I can't do anything. Even under "Alerts" when I'm logged in with FB it shows "no themes".
HI!
@rugged quail Welcome to the helpdesk! Please let us know how we can assist you today and a support volunteer or staff member will assist you as soon as they are available. Thank you for your patience.
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
@ebon parcel 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.
oh yeah i disabled all that but i recently had to reset my pc so my settings and stuff reset if orgot about that
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
thanks
i don't like using NVENC cuz it drops my quality by a lot and it looks a lot more pixelated
ok
@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 itโs not showing anywhere. Can anyone help me please??
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.
Ok perfect thank you
Any reason you'd prefer G2A Pay over SE.Pay?
@tulip hamlet Okay, I have chosen SE.Pay now. What is the difference between business and individual bank account type?
Generally, you'd know if you opened a business account.
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.
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.
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
Could just be within OBS itself, couldn't tell you for sure.
First off, I really like the concept of streamelements. This is why I am changing
More options and so on. Keep it up!
Hello, for the past week my bit rate has been going from what I have it set at to 0 every 30 seconds on and off stream for obs.live. This also causes my frames to drop (average of 25% per stream). I have checked my internet connection as well as my connection to the server and they are both good. Any help would be appreciated.
@peak roost 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.
obs log
Please read the instructions and provide a link.
So every time I try to connect with twitch on OBS live, it does not log me in. It attempts to log me in and the window just closes. Anyone else having this issue?
Sorry about that
Quick question, how does one add a streamelements alert overlay to streamlabs obs I've tried adding it as a browser source.
@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 โShutdown source when not visibleโ https://youtu.be/KDvLynUqXI4
Didn't work, when I launch the overlay the page is just white
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.
So every time I try to connect with twitch on OBS live, it does not log me in. It attempts to log me in and the window just closes.
So I went to import my themes and alertbox from streamlabs but I'm not sure if it is working. It has been going for about 10-15 minutes and I cant minimize the tab
Check for me: https://streamelements.com/dashboard/overlays
Does it show imported Alert box?
Hello, I have a question about my cameras on stream elements....am I in the right place?Not overlays. It is not recognizing my cameras at all. I used to have 4 set up. Then randomly it stopped recognizing 1 of them and now it wont recognize 2 of them. I need 4 to stream
Hi guys! Me once again! Can someone help please? First I use "BLUE METROPOLIS ANIMATED SUPER THEME" as my theme with its alerts. On the "Starting soon" screen I have a chatbox but it doesn't show anything. On the other scenes I don't have any issues. Second, when I try to do a test for a stream on Twitch ( ?bandwidthtest=true) It always starts to stream on Facebook although Twitch was selected with my streamkey. Help please ๐ฆ
Depends. Do you mean Overlay borders for the camera?
It says Importing from streamlabs on my obs app
I cant get a picture because I cant open stuff over it
Hey guys. Anybody know if you need to login to Twitch everytime you use the chat in OBS Live? Seems everytime I launch OBSlive and try type in chat it asks me to login to twitch
Not overlays. It is not recognizing my cameras at all. I used to have 4 set up. Then randomly it stopped recognizing 1 of them and now it wont recognize 2 of them. I need 4 to stream
@zenith copper For the best OBS support, please join their Official Discord @ discord.gg/obsproject
@potent path It should retain the login. You might have to clear out your OBS cookies.
@tulip hamlet Even if I restart my PC? I have connected my Twitch account to OBS
Yes, even if you restart your PC.
Nethyr do you know what I should do to fix my problem?
@opaque pagoda Please connect your streaming account (Twitch, YouTube, or Facebook) with Discord by going to โ Settings and then Connections here in Discord. https://streamable.com/eg92w
My obslive has been stuck on this for over an hour while trying to import
hey, could you help me? i think it gonna be fast
@dusky herald Welcome to the helpdesk! Please let us know how we can assist you today and a support volunteer or staff member will assist you as soon as they are available. Thank you for your patience.
Any idea how to fix my follower count displaying incorrectly in Streamelements. It is correct on Streamlabs/streamlabels. Do I need to unsync with streamlabs or something?
Your total follower count appears to be correct.
Its displaying 0 for me
You're trying to use a goal widget, aren't you?
Goals and goal progress are independent of totals.
Goal progress is controlled at https://streamelements.com/dashboard/session
No... referring to my total follower count on Streamelements
hello guys! i'm herr with another problem... when i use obs live and some1 follows it doesn't aprear in my activity feed and alson don't pop up on stream screen
It's showing 0 for me in my dashboard though
@potent path Screenshot please.
what it didn't work 2 mion ago and 3 dfays aago 0.0
still the guy who followed me 8 min ago isn't in there and didn't apear at all :/
@potent path Please keep everything in the public channels. Thank you.
You'll notice those are not all time numbers.
Also, you've only just connected to StreamElements.
We don't get a channel history from the Twitch API.
No retroactive activity.
i needed to know if you are able to see the media share without being in obs streamelements without a duel monitor
@tulip hamlet Thanks
Would you mind explaining how to reset cookies in OBS... Still having to log in to twitch to use the chat plugin from Streamelements
@potent path If you are not seeing the OBS Twitch integrations and have OBS.Live installed, please follow these steps:
- Make sure you are on the latest and greatest version of OBS.Live ( 19.5.27.394 )
- exit OBS (make sure OBS is not running)
- delete
%appdata%\obs-studio\plugin_config\obs-browser\obs_profile_cookies - start OBS.Live
- Settings -> Stream -> disconnect -> connect
guys i have an overlay on but how do i make the chat show up in her place
my G2A pay want connect properly
@tropic geyser Screenshot what you see. If you're allowing it to autofill, don't.
Screenshot how you filled out the form.
Thank you. You can delete the screenshot if you'd like.
I've forwarded the error to our devs to look into. Unfortunately, I cannot provide you with an immediate solution.
thanks for your help
Saludos. Tengo un problema con el Media Request. ยฟPuedo pedirles ayuda por aquรญ?
Can someone please help, I have asked twice, why won't it let me import my scenes and alerts from streamlabs into obslive
@bright geyser does it get stuck or it faild?
I might have fixed it
The problem was it opened another window under it and I could not tab out
It said I imported it but I cant get my alert box to work
@tulip hamlet sometimes it pops up but sometimes it doesn't can it be a pc problem? (fthe event list)
@bright geyser the imported stuff from SLOBS is in my overlays in our dashboard.
@plush solar if you have issues with follower events its a twitch issue unfortunately
We are working with them on fixing it but no ETA
@shy mountain oh thank you because i was looking for the issue but couldn't find anything so i was getting frustrated ๐
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.
Having 2 different monitors at different Hz can lag your stream actually.
Oh
Just to be on the safe side
@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.
Do you have any recommendations to stop the lag?
Should I use game capture instead of display capture?
Some games like Destiny 2 doesn't like Game capture
And is there any chance my scene is affecting it alot?
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?
I am right now
It says browser sources are performance killers, should I get rid of the browser source that adds my theme?
How many browser sources do you have?
one
Then don't remove it
ok
as it has your overlay.
If you have multiple and its affecting your CPU greatly then yes
well I did some things, I'll test it now
but in this case no
Still having fps drops, it says encoding overloaded
GPUs don't like it both monitors have different Hz```
Should I try using x264?
ok
Thanks for being patient with me, sorry for bothering you
Trying to stream xbox one but use obs on laptop. its not connecting the stream for me to be able to use obs. please help
Posting the same question in multiple channels won't help you get a solution faster. I've also given you a discord invite link to the OBS Discord as this is not something we can help with.
mahalo
My stream elements overlay editor isn't displaying the right number of follows or subscribers, will it display correctly when I'm actually streaming?
I see that the totals we have are showing correct follower number.
What type of widget have you added?
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
Well that is correct. Goal progression is only tracked from the moment you sign up with us.
is there any way to fix this? @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
appreciated, and after fixing that all additional follows and subs will be added?
yes
I really appreciate it @shy mountain
But do note that the goal widgets do not track totals, only progression up
So will the sub goal count for lost subs?
But do note that the goal widgets do not track totals, only progression up
okay, I missed that in the phrasing, thank you
so that will need to be manually changed as it happens
To an extent yes
What you can use instead is
the total followers and total subscriber count widgets
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
okay, perfect, thank you
It wasn't clear to me at first, but I think I get it now, thank you @shy mountain
Stream Deck isn't working with SE actions. Any idea how to fix this?
It keeps telling me to open OBS Live but I already have OBS open.
Try to Reinstall/Repair the StreamDeck software.
Repaired and fixed. Thanks Benno.

hello whenever i try to show video on media request it plays double sound
@winged gust Make sure to โ โShutdown source when not visibleโ for all browser sources (all OBS scenes). If using studio mode, uncheck โSwap 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
Hey guys my friend is having such a weird thing happening with his obs window. We just want to get it moveable from monitor to monitor but it isnt in a normal window mode it seems. I dont know how it started up like this but it's been like that since I set it up for him.
Is it in fulscreen mode? Press F11 to get it to windowed again.
plz hold
okay so testing it on my computer, it changed it to that problem but when I press f11 again to take it out, it doesnt take it out entirely. goes from full screen to then just displaying the taskbar
Select the icon in the task bar > hit alt + space > (at the top left should be a menu then) > select the first entry.
you can also drag the bottom of the window up and it will show the menu bar again
@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 โShutdown source when not visibleโ https://youtu.be/KDvLynUqXI4
Also what OBS Studio version (top left) are you on? @opaque pagoda
Top left

oops. you are right. The version number is in the top left of OBS Studio.
@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.
Have you added it like described by the bot above?
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
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
Please delete the browser source and readd it to OBS.
@thorny mica You can edit an overlay when you have got an editor access to their streamelements account.
@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 โShutdown source when not visibleโ https://youtu.be/KDvLynUqXI4
@odd kraken so if i wanted to add a new overlay or whatever i could if i have that enabled for them?
They need to enter the overlay url themselves to their OBS.
okay thats what i thought
You could then edit the overlay with an editor access to their account.
right right
@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
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?
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
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.
@opaque pagoda Follow these steps to grant managers/moderators access to your dashboard:
- Click on your Channel Name at the top of the dashboard and select Settings
- Create a new invite at one of three access levels (Bot Supervisor, Editor, Full Control)
- 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

hi i was wondering if i can have some help uploading a overlay on my obs live.
@finite crest 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 โShutdown source when not visibleโ https://youtu.be/KDvLynUqXI4
thx
@odd kraken This is what I get when I want to launch the stream on Twitch
And you are logged in to OBS Studio and OBS.Live with your twitch account?
when I want to launch OBS Studio it is the Live that opens up.
on OBS Live I am logged in with the feature you told me.
Please make sure you are logged in to Twitch in
- OBS.Live using StreamElements > Log out > Log back in with twitch
- OBS Studio: Settings > Stream > Disconnect account > connect account > log in with your twitch
In OBS Live I clicked on "switch to OBS Studio". I went to "settings" and then "stream" and logged in with my twitch account and did the same with OBS Live. Still same problem.
Use the StreamElements menu at the top to log out, and then log back in using Twitch.
On the website of StreamElements I am logged in with Twitch.
You can disable it on stream, but it will alawys be playing when the MR dock is open in the MR dock.
@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
Can you share a screenshot of the error message please?
๐ค
I think this is the...
Do you have 2FA enabled on your Twitch account?
It's required to stream.
2FA?
Two Factor Authentication.
I think so I receive now a text when I want to log in to twitch
I read the article. I don't have it. I will try it out and come to you afterwards
It seems that I already had the 2FA. I installed the app anyway. Still not able to test my stream. I've shut down my pc as well but nothing seems to work
anyone else having a problem with the overlay editor and alert boxes
Can you elaborate please?
When I edit the alert boxes, especially the cheers one, they don't change
Check the variations.
like for the sub I set it up with settings and removed the video of the shark but it still played it
Ill check the variations
@opaque pagoda In OBS, go to Settings > Advanced and make sure this option is set to default:
@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.
And if a tutorial tells you to change something, close the video.
โคด OBS Project volunteer support. Knows what he's talking about. โค @steel mural
Ok thank you! But other issue, Twitch doesn't show anything with its "inspector" although in streamkey I am logged in with Twitch and selected bandwithtest
Twitch dashboard doens't show anything?
Wait... Did you use your stream key or did you use the connect button?
Both at the same time doesn't work
connect button, sorry I meant "under the stream section"
And you checked the "Bandwith test mode" box?
So: I am connected with Twitch via the login feature, but in my Twitch dashboard with the inspector it doens't show anything
yes
I checked that box but it doens't show anything
Then go to https://inspector.twitch.tv/
Haha dude I feel so stupid ๐
I seem to have some lose there... My bitrate is in the settings set to 3000 but with inspector I see about 2400
Or is it normal that it shows less bitrate?
That's normal. The number isn't always perfect. Fluctiations are expected.
+-2000
Depending on your settings
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
i fixed this a while ago but it is happening again. Everytime i open obslive it asks me to log in and i forgot how to fix it
@hollow sedge If you are not seeing the OBS Twitch integrations and have OBS.Live installed, please follow these steps:
- Make sure you are on the latest and greatest version of OBS.Live ( 19.5.27.394 )

Here is a video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=17eUkoZ6eIs
You don't need a stream key this times. You just can log in with your twitch credentials into OBS Studio.
ok
Add the widget Your stream's chats to the overlay.
ok thx
My recent followers and stuff aren't showing up anymore since I got a new banner and can't seem to get it to work.
Are they not updating or completely not showing up?
Not showing up at all.
Are they showing up in the overlay editor?
Well, this is my first custom one, I used to have a premade on
Can you share a screenshot of what you are looking at and explain what is wrong on this one, so I understand what you are trying to achieve.
You would need to add the widgets for the recent sub and the recent follower to your overlay in the overlayeditor.
Okay, I'll give that a shot, thanks.
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
What browser are you using?
@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.
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?
@odd kraken fluctuates b/w 11.7 and 14.3%
Can you try to edit the overlay in chrome and see if you are still getting these issues?
Wait one
@odd kraken It spiked to 12.5 to 15% and StreamElements is taking too long to load
What internet connection do you have? upload and download?
Download 104.83
Upload 10.09
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.
@odd kraken You might be right. Will check again after my next one tonight
https://gyazo.com/29202b70be70170a76cabf21bf17f40e @odd kraken This is the best I can do, any tips?
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.
I'm going to have to have my friend help me with that, thanks. โค
can you tell me were the settings are in OBS Live
You can find a lot of them in the hamburger menu in the top left of the activity feed.
The rest, in the StreamElements menu at the top.
Not an Elgato, a capture card in general, yes.
"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.
Ok cool. Another question, will obs work with windows 8
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 thanks
anyone alive?
im looking for voice help with setting up tips in obs?
im new to obs
What kind of tips?
money tips for streaming? I've tried to connect to G2A like obs tells you too as i have an account with them but it gives and error
What kind of error
Can you still login to the account?
yes I can access my account on Firefox yes
I put all the info into the box it asks for and gives me this error
Try connedting your g2a pay account from the dqshboard
dashboard of Streamlabs? @shy mountain ?
This is Streamelements Discord and you are using OBS.Live.
So the answer is no, not SL dashboard. Our dashboard :)
When you enter our dashboard click on tipping settings on the left.
Open the dev console of the browser with F12, navigate to the console tab, refresh the page and do the form again.
After the error shows up from the form screenshit the console and lets see the error there
I will have to ask the devs on this as Im not sure what that error code 500 meant
ok, can you please? I can try paypal, but i would have to setup a new account? Which is easier for you?
Personally? I don't use G2A Pay
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.
So its a known issue thank god, I thought the problem was on my side. and there is nothing I can do to fix it right?
Thank you
hello
i'm new here
i dont get my alert box in obs live
You need to create an overlay with an alerbox widget and add this overlay url into OBS.
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 โShutdown source when not visibleโ https://youtu.be/KDvLynUqXI4
is it possible to test alerts?
@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.
You can test Alerts via the bell on the lower right corner of the Overlay Editor. Simply go to your Dashboard -> My Overlays -> Pencil/edit button on the overlay. Make sure the "Show Emulated events on stream" option is on to see the alert in OBS/Xsplit https://streamable.com/h6qgy
Guys, any idea what this can be?
I can't send the test message, and it's the chat widget
Try to select StreamElements at the top in OBS > Log ot and log back in.
You're a god @odd kraken lol
I recently changed my username, relogged from every source possible to relog and didn't fixed, but from OBS worked like a charm
i have one comp one monitor, how to see poker tables one by one? i made in sources 4 but i see all ๐ฆ help?
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?
pokerstars
Can you show me a screenshot of the things you want to capture?
here.
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.
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?
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.
thqnx i wil try now
i do that and i see now table by table.But i must make again my cam seeing ond other things or somewhere copy ?
Create your cam one time and then use the add existing function when you add the cam source.
yes but in new scenes i dont have cam and my tittle
You can add the source in this scene.
ok i see now thanx
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?
Try to convert it to .webm.
Ohhhh I will try that tonight. Thanks!
hmm i open now 4 tables but i see old lol
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.
im tired i make all god and now again i see only one table in all 4 scenes
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.
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
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.
ok thanx i will try
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
There is no output session in this log? Are the frame drops always when you perform a specific action?
No the frames drop regardless of what I am doing.

Is there any particular reason why overlays wouldnt update? (yes I clicked on Save)
Clear the browser source cache in the properties of your browser source in OBS.
I see -- should 'Refresh browser when scene becomes active' be check?
when you don't have issues without checking it, I would not check it.
ok -- thank you
Hello, I was looking around and didnt find answer to my question. Is there any way to see viewer count in OBS.LIVE for Facebook streaming?
Not that I am aware of.
Shame, cause that's the only reason to leave browser open during the game ๐
Hello. I am trying to set up the Media Request widget. For some reason, i can hear the song normally then with a delay it duplicates. Any idea what might be the problem?
@torn talon Make sure to โ โShutdown source when not visibleโ for all browser sources (all OBS scenes). If using studio mode, uncheck โSwap 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

I need help with OBS-Live and the Stream Deck, I want to install the OBS-Live App on my Stream Deck and it's just not working. I press install, the loading bar progresses and then the button is just back to "Install".
The new Stream-Deck Update didn't help me.
Windows 10, all updates.
OBS 23.1.0 with OBS-live.
Streamdeck-Version: 4.4.1.11285 (newest).
If you need any more information, please contact me.
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?
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.
@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
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.
gotcha, thanks
is there a way to mute discord sound comming into obs?
Put yourself on do not disturb or edit the message sounds in discord.
i mean like if im in a call with other ppl but i want the stream to hear me but no the guys talking 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.
alright thanks anyway ๐
how do i get downloaded overlays onto my stream
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 โShutdown source when not visibleโ https://youtu.be/KDvLynUqXI4
ok Has anyone got any suggestions for a simple overlay
There are premade overlays you can use. Best to browse through our overlay gallery: https://streamelements.com/dashboard/themes
i know but i am wondering if there is any good themes i could search
I really like the TRIGON STATIC SUPER THEME myself.
ok thank you
how come im not getting chat messages in my chat box on obs but i can see them in the twitch dashboard
Select StreamElements at the top in OBS, log out and log back in.
dude thank you
is there a way to install obs live on linux or just windows?

I can;t connect to the servers - error says it can't find my channel but i disconnected and reconnected with no change
Can you share a screenshot fo the error please?
Anyone having issues when launching obslive? As soon as I launch it, immediate studdering and lag. started yesterday
@echo folio 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.
Have you disconnected in the settings of OBS Studio?
@echo folio https://obsproject.com/logs/mG49iqX8knoY7FvTs/mG49iqX8knoY7FvT
Some starting notes there but better to get a log with an output session.
that's part of the issue @tulip hamlet, I cant. rediculous frame drops and completely bogs down my pc. everything is fine until I launch obs
Running as administrator should be the first thing you do. You always want to do that.
possibly due to SLI cards?
SLI can cause performance problems, especially if the cards are only using 8x pcie
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?
Do you use a widget like kappagen or an animated overlay?
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
Can't seem to get OBS to pick up a specific game that runs full screen on a second monitor. Any suggestions?
@nocturne rain i'm having very very similar issues
Glad to know it's not just me then haha
@nocturne rain Can you try a non animated overlay? Does it have the same effect?
@spring pewter Have you started OBS Studio as admin?
@odd kraken I run everything on admin
@spring pewter For the best OBS support, please join their Official Discord @ discord.gg/obsproject
@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
What CPU and GPU do you have?
Ryzen 5 1600 and an RTX 2060
Using the new Nvenc encoder
This issue only happens with the animated overlay
Do you have the browser source hardware acceleration enabled in the advanced settings in OBS?
try that please.
Disabled it but it hasn't changed anything
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 โShutdown source when not visibleโ for all browser sources (all OBS scenes).

HELP ME PLEASE
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.
guys how do i change the stream name?
@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.
in the web?
In OBS.Live.
That means there's no information for tipper or tip in the time frame the widget is set to look at.
So there are no problems?
Not necessarily.
hi , can u change all the social media info in all the overlays together ??
can i use obs.live with youtube?
@real cliff Its planned, but no ETA.
alright ty
@thick hound Unfortunately, no. They are generated based on your username when creating the theme from the themes gallery.
im streaming on another twitch channel but i cant see the activity feed from that account, its stuck on the channel i was usually streaming on, how do i change it
Streamelements on top -> logout -> login with the other account
you can do this while live as well
thankss
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"
Be aware that we can't import overlays with files bigger than 10mb and containing default StreamLabs assets.
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.
You could try to create a new overlay on StreamLabs side without teh big video files and try to import this one.
