ive done everything including deleting the sound from stream elements and uploading a new sound and nothing will change it
HeyGuys! Is it possible to link our browser with the OBS browser? I mean so it can use cookies and saved infos and auto login with the good parameters ?
Hate to ask a noob question, but I can't click on anything in Chrome if I am using OBS, anyone have an idea why?
errrrrrr... huh?
do you have a screenshot of what youre trying to do?
Nm.. I figured it out. If I do a Window capture of Chrome and I am in OBS, and I have hardware acceleration off. It doesn't click through or allow me to click on anything in Chrome
But if I use Capture Display it will allow me to click on things. Which doesn't help me a lot as I want to just have it do a Window, not my entire display.
Whatever I did I fixed it. lol

Anyone know how to change the chat bots name?
Check pinned messages.
Says there's non available via this group
wait
now its showing up
Ah, noted. Was sorta hoping it could be done via SE and just giving it a name
Thanks!
Something has to control the custom name for you. Can't do it on our end 'cause that'd look like we're DDOSing Twitch and that's no good.
Oh dear, thats wild. So how come the SE bot doesnt effect it the same way? Is it cause you guys have a SE twitch account or is it something else?
Because it's still technically a single connection to the Twitch IRC network.
Noted, appreciate the info! Could multiple people use the same bot?
Also out of curiosity, do you think you guys can allow the same features for personal facebook accounts, not just pages? Cause I sometimes stream straight from my personal account

Hey recently I managed to get fortnite working with OBS but no I can't get anything to work and it just shows a black screen
I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions
Run OBS as an administrator but if that doesn't work...

@MySperm#3370 are you running the game in fullscreen or windowed?
@MySperm Just looked at the image. Be sure to put the game in window mode, and use window capture instead and it will work just fine
Hi could anyone please help me? My overlays on stream elements are no longer sending follower alerts to obs
@versed oriole 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
done : )
is there a way to fix sub count to where if someone is no longer subbed the counter goes back down?
Is it possible to move multiple files at once in the overlay editor?
Not at this time.
k, thanks
hey there, I got a host in my last stream however, it did not show up in my activity feed
@gray vector 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
what can I do?
@gray vector You were already answered here with an explanation of what types of hosts appear and don't. Do not ask the same question in multiple channels.
@tulip hamlet I think it was an manual host tho...which did not show up either...
A manual host from an offline channel will not work.
logged in and all my stuff looked like this...I cN'T FIX IT. cAN ANYONE HELP ME OUT?
That's definitely nothing to do with us. I can't even begin to imagine how that could have happened.

THANKS GUYS!
I was so strange, it didn't look like that when I logged off on Monday. I jumped on today and everything is all jacked up. I have no idea how to resize any of it to make it right....so frustrating. Still waiting for someone to respond in the OBS Community, that you for responding so quickly!
They're entirely supported by volunteers, so please be patient with them. ๐
roger that!
i have audio files set up on hot keys and the audio plays but i cant hear it in my headphones despite having them all set to monitor and output. any ideas on why i cant hear it?
What do you mean by you've put audio files on hotkeys?
Can you take a screenshot of where you set that up?
through my stream deck
Then that would be something to do with your Streamdeck settings, and not with us. This is support for OBS.Live, the plugin for OBS Studio. So anything about our features, we can help with, but beyond that, you'd be relying on luck to find someone here who happens to be familiar with what you're trying to set up.
ok thanks
how do i remove this from my obs ?
There is an uninstall option in the StreamElements menu at the top of OBS.
Hi my chat doesn't seem to be working. My widget for showing chat in stream is working but not the one in app. I can't see anyone's chat
If this is in regards to the StreamElements Live app, please keep the question in #helpdesk-mobile
No this is meant for pc
What app are you referring to then?
I guess app isn't the right word. StreamElements program?
You mean the chat that's added into OBS with OBS.Live?
Aye
Log out using the StreamElements menu at the top and log back in.
Is there a way to transfer everything from StreamLabzOBS to Stream Elements, or do i have to manually do it?
Import menu in the StreamElements menu at the top of OBS.
perfect thank you!
how do i reset my settings to what they were before3
What settings?
like video settings and output settings
Is there a way to put recent Follower/Donation with streamelements/.live?
Yes, you add anything you want to show as a widget in an overlay in your account on the site, and then add the overlay to OBS as a browser source.
Okay ill try that again, Thanks
Hello Everyone,
Hope I'm throwing this question in the right section, is there a way to create an "alertbox" that will include alerts from all platforms at the same time ? IE (Youtube and Twitch and Facebook)
There is not. StreamElements does not support multistreaming.
Okay Thank you!
But technically you can create 3 separate browser sources for each one amirite ?
They will interrupt one another.
Ah, darn, Thanks
HOW DO I FIX MY STREAM IF IT IS SLIGHTLY LAGGY
@blazing idol 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.
Also, the first step would be to turn off caps lock.
Is Multi-Streaming frowned upon here though @tulip hamlet ?
No, our tools just don't support it.
@blazing idol Here is an alnalysis of your log file with tips on how to improve: https://h4ndy.eu/obslog?url=https%3A%2F%2Fobsproject.com%2Flogs%2FueZImOpdv9yBwh1R
hey, so my bots not responding at all, its not muted or banned, ive made it a mod. im not sure whats goin on.
snaps and pints finger guns lemme do that

awesome! thanks guys
does anyone know why when I try to set a media request button on my stream deck, I get the red circle with a line through it and the error "This StreamElements OBS.Lived action is offline. Please wait for it to become available." even though I'm live and media request is running
@white shell uninstall our plugin for streamdeck and install it again
does Elgato HD60S Capture card work with stream elements if I dont have a streamdeck?
I don't think you need the streamdeck to use the capture card.
i was using streamlabs but have been reading a lot so i want to switch to streamelements because the bots seem a lot easier to use, but now i need to re setup my entire scenes
I think im getting there with overlays and alerts but not sure how to get the card working
I can see them in my overlay but thats only for alerts right? it doesnt bring my sources or anything
Every scene from SLOBS gets imported as an overlay
alerts and most of the stuff in it
I only had a follower goal, a recent followers banner, and an alert box
so i can just relearn how to do that I think, but I am more concerned now with setting up the capture card, and building out an overlay
when I test my widgets on the overlay editor they show up, but they arent appearing in OBSlive? I was able to get the follower goal to appear
OBS.Live is just a plugin for OBS Studio
@sonic sparrow 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
what is your point about it being a plugin?
OBS Studio works properly with the elgato capture card
As in, you add it as a video capture i believe
As for the overlays not showing, make sure you add them as 1920x1080 sizes
I have that in there, my logicam is working fine but it just won't pull the screen from my xbox
so i have two video captures going
So through my chat tool ive somehow changed it to go to my twitch dashboard and idk how to make it back to just be the chat
@sonic sparrow For the best OBS support, please join their Official Discord @ discord.gg/obsproject
@sonic sparrow Note that they won't help with overlay issues, but will help with the capture card not showing up.
@haughty gyro Im not sure I understand what you mean. What chat tool?
fair enough @shy mountain I appreciate it
in obs.live you have the chat box that you can add with like activity feed and media request
@shy mountain if i test a follower alert, should it show up in my obs studio preview? or only in my StreamElements Overlay
@sonic sparrow 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
yep needed to tick that box, awesome thanks
guys is thre anything for help with just obs recording or can i ask it here
@rugged quail For the best OBS support, please join their Official Discord @ discord.gg/obsproject
ok thanks!
@shy mountain tried that and it didn't work. Any other recommendations?
repair the streamdeck software
@tropic knot 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.
hello i need healp
@tired mountain 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.
I streamed but it doesnt show up on my page.
Check your stream key or if you are logged in to the right account.
@deep birch k
i did all of the bsic stuff
logging in logging out,
checking the stream key
how do you livestream? do u just really click the start streaming and it automatically streams on facebook? no need to open facebook?
You would need to enter your stream key ffirst in the OBS settings. But as soon as you hit live and fill in the stream info you are live and your chat gets connected in OBS.Live.
yeah well ive already setup the stream key and it really doesn't show up. anyways imma try again and come back here if it still doesnt work
thanks ๐
how do I go about changing the bot's name on obslive?
I did that ๐ค maybe my obs is freaking out
What happens when you did tha? Is the bot responding as StreamElements, can you send a test message via the activity feed rename secton in the custom bots name?
it just never registered for me XD idk ill probably mess around and see if it has to do with my panel link setup
Hi guys question do you know why i could be eco while talking?
i cant seem to add minecraft as a source, am i not getting something or is it just difficult to stream minecraft?
hello
@exotic sleet Alright. What's up? 
there's something wrong with the media request plugin
it's working but it's so loud, even that i set the volume at the lowest possible
I can't even hear the alerts
Do you have Media Request open somewhere else like a web browser?
no
Hm. Going to ask internally to see what's up about that.
hello i would like assistance
hello
am i being ignored because i cant do basic things
What's up @rugged quail Sorry I'm at my day job so I don't scroll up chat often ๐
ok makes sense
i cant add minecraft as a source
well
i can
but it wont show up
and i think im doing something wrong
I don't remember where Minecraft is playable on. Is that a game purchased from the Windows 10 store?
i didnt purchase it from there but it is buyable there im pretty sure
i got it with a gift card at https://www.minecraft.net/en-us/
I don't think game capture mode works with that option. You'll more than likely have to use Display Capture for Minecraft to be seen.
okay i'll try
@exotic sleet Do you have the Media Share widget active by chance?
display capture doesnt seem to be showing anything?
Right click on the Display capture source. Should let you choose which screen to display. See if the preview will show the display.
theres only one display and its the one im using
Display Capture is currently at the view top of the source list right?
Also what version of OBS.Studio are you using? Located top left.
May be best to ask the OBS Discord to see what is going on. As the display capture should've been active 
@rugged quail For the best OBS support, please join their Official Discord @ discord.gg/obsproject
@dry sphinx I fixed it but it still doing it again when I restart obs.live
I think itโs some kind of a bug and I hope itโll be fixed soon
Thanks
Hm. At least it's working! 
Guys I have a huge problem during my stream.
After a while (30 minutes/one hour), when i try to change scene or, basically, when i try to do something in obs.live (adjust audio, scroll the chat, etc), the app seems stop working.
Streaming goes on, but the screen becomes grey and everything freeze.
Everytime it happens, i have to force closing obs.live and restart the streaming.
(Hope itโs clear, english isnโt my first language)
Does OBS live support mixer?
Anything I've missed?
I want a custom bot name, so using groundcontrol, generated my token, switched the name and try testing it, but it only comes up with my stream name. Tried both in the GroundControl app and in the OBS.Live extention. Tried restarting everything, parted and rejoined it etc....
@hollow quail Custom bot name requirements
- StreamElements bot modded and in chat
- Active overlay with alerts
- StreamElements tipping page in the panels below the stream (!panels)
- OBS.Live or Ground Control open
- Create a twitch account for the name you want to use or run the bot under your own name
- Custom bot name doesn't work on Mac
@native sorrel not yet, no ETA
Already done
Wait hold up.
You actually have to create a Twitch account for it? Then I am following you...
Oh, OK, It would be nice to have something like a dashboard while streaming / live monitoring.
yes, you need a twitch account for the new bot
Thanks a bunch. ๐
np ๐
And sorry @plain sonnet just to confirm... That's not against Twitch ToS is it?
to have a custom bot?
no. but if it is, there will be MANY big streamers ahead of you ๐
Don't call me small
Thanks a bunch for your help. ๐ Finally did the switch over, am REALLY liking SE so far.
when i say BIG i mean like ninja, doc etc.. : )
glad youre liking it
im the only one having issues with the media request tool on obs.live?
i cant lower the audio what so ever
@shy mountain am I missing something maybe with obs.live? I've uninstalled everything and re-installed it and the same thing.... I'm using the media player built into obs.live for media request...
Is there a way to make it so that Dark Mode is off for the chat by default? I hate having to turn it off every time I open OBS.Live
Hi everyone. I have StreamElements on my Android and on my Desktop. The problem is: I would like to use my Android to stream through OBS, but my Android is not recognised there. Is there some sort of plugin which wil make this happen? Thanks.
hello im trying to set upo my alerts in stream elements obs but everytime i add the alert it doesnt fit in the box what so ever
@solar sky which chat are you using? the integrated obs chat (view > docks > chat) or the stream elements chat (streamelements > chat)
@rugged quail if you want to stream your phone then you would need some sort of video capture device to connect it to. i have heard of usb programs but you would need to google that
@pliant trout the alerts shouldnt fit to the full screen of the editor
when importing to obs the resolution should be set to your canvas (default 1920x1080)
yeh, youve resized the browser source
as above, set it to your canvas (default 1920x1080)
went to change it by right click resize output now everything has gone way too big?
@plain sonnet the integrated obs chat
@plain sonnet scratch that, I'm using StreamElements Chat
how do i resize it?
My obs alerts arenโt showing in obs
Iโve resized things, repasted the link
Tried the default alert widget
@solar sky turn off dark mode and turn it back on, restart obs. if it doesnt stick try deleting the obs cookies
@solar sky 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
@pliant trout right click on the browser source, select properties and set it to 1920 x 1080
So I was already using SLOBS so called 'workaround' prior to this; custom server input, yet this is happening to me now: discord notification and OBS running as if it's live but FB shows nothing and the link from discord doesn't show anything but a blank screen.
Log files: https://obsproject.com/logs/nCSghzSpeI_WlWGY
Btw I don't have an AMD graphics card, I have NVIDIA RTX 2070 6GB
Anyone there?
yeah done that just thanks for that didnt realise it was manuel was looking for a pop down :/
@naive acorn 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
@plain sonnet no. it opens in dark mode, I'm trying to get it to start with dark mode off
oh, reverse it then, turn on then of, etc...
anyway i can set up !specs?
@ember flume looks like the closure is coming from the server (maybe from bandwidth).
best to ask in obs to see if they know who to solve
is that a custom command @pliant trout ?
@plain sonnet who do I ask exactly in obs?
in their help desk channel. someone will respond
I just joined their discord channel thanks!
Hey guys...I'm using OBS.Live, and the chat window is being very frustrating about asking me for an SMS code every single time I restart the program
I've checked the box to remember this computer for 30 days, and I'm on a public static IP. What gives?
@teal charm If you are not seeing the OBS Twitch integrations and have OBS.Live installed, please follow these steps:

Hey homies! Please disregard my obs-live bug report, I fixed it!
is this the place to ask media request issues?
^ is it possible to uninstall or block the OBS Live widget? I use Media Request from the dashboard in my browser, but it won't stop playing in OBS....
@deep birch and all the homies. I am leaving SLOBS and trying obs live/studio. My question is, is that I bought a full stream overlay package from nerd or die. It integrates very easily with SLOBS. However, when I try to import it to obs live/studio, it doesn't show the stream package because it is not a .JSON file. Is there an easier way to get this complex stream package into OBS Live?
Does anyone know what it means when I get the
"Failed to initialize video: Invalid parameters" when I try opening up obs
What version of OBS.Studio are you using?
@topaz sage 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.
?
The log file doesn't contain an output session
Follow the instructions in the screenshot
my fps gets choppy
it didnt go to 20 fps that time
i tried cpu encoding
and gpu encoding
nothing works
it only happens on roblox
Please look into the link I gave you
ok
roblox is frame locked to 60fps
so idk lol
more errors u
more erros
it went below 40 dis time
Then its increasing in % for render and encoder
Either you haven't done the guides in the analyzer properly
or the OBS guys are the only ones who can help you
@topaz sage For the best OBS support, please join their Official Discord @ discord.gg/obsproject
ok ill see
maybe ill try using cpu to encode
this what happens when i use cpu ๐ฆ https://h4ndy.eu/obslog?url=https%3A%2F%2Fobsproject.com%2Flogs%2FqQiF7dDFCKuw1dSO
i7 7700k
So there are 2 things that come to mind:
- You are not following the instructions in the analyzer
- You are actually overloading your PC with various programs running while trying to stream
i have only obs and roblox open
it only does it for roblox which makes no sense at all
i did everything it said to do
roblox is already capped
Let me say that this is a general OBS or PC issue that has nothing to do with OBS.Live. Complaining here just because Im active won't help you when I've given you clear instructions
and I have no other ideas on how to help you, when 9/10 times the guides in the analyzer work for everyone else.
ok
Wait patiently in the OBS discord for additional help on this
it only does this for roblox tho
i did some googlin
it might be cause roblox uses like all the gpu
Roblox uses everything
From resources to bandwidth
You canโt stop it either
Itโs most likely roblox eating your bandwidth. I have fiber and over wireless I lost a ton of throughput to roblox
Hello, Iโve recently changed my username in twitch and everything was working before the name change but itโs been about a week and I still canโt figure out the bot Iโm sure itโs not joining chat no commands work in chat it like it doesnโt connect or something Iโve tried running the bot/tipping setup again but just says the bot is all setup canโt get anything to work the bot ?
Omgosh knew it was something simple cheers mate !
@kindred fox u know how to fix it?
You canโt. Itโs hard coded into roblox
You could ask in the OBS discord how to buffer your stream which might help
ok thanks
ill tell u if it works
didnt work :/
i can stream windows 10 roblox no problem
but theres a big input delay with that
normal roblox there isnt a input delay
Iโve streamed windows 10 roblox without issue. Most likely itโs a roblox issue

hi, is it possible to have a permanent "media request playlist"?
last time i put like 100 songs in the playlist and after they played once theyยดre gone.
In Media Request > Settings on the website there's a place to put your backup playlist link
hey I have media requests on and when someone does !sr it says its added to the que but it never pops up anyone know how to fix this?
Hello, I'm trying to use soundboards in the chat. switching them over from SL. Am I doing it right by making it an item in the stroe to redeem and then add the sound from there? If so that's what I have done but when I redeem in chat I can't hear the SFX just see the chat message in chat! What am I doing wrong????!?!?
Did you add the Store redemption widget to your overlay, @gray solar ?
@jaunty ruin Do you have manual approval enabled @jaunty ruin ?
Whoops. Sorry for double ping 
@dry sphinx perfect thats them working now, any idea how to make the command to redeem it just !crazy instead of !redeem crazy ?
Yeah gotta make a custom command.
Command name: Crazy. Response ${redeem crazy}
@gray solar no i have que moderation set to off
Wrong ping? 
oops
Is the sr requested not available in your region?
YouTube showing not available? Then that would be why.
no it's plays fine when i click the link they posted after !sr
all the videos play @dry sphinx but they don't pop up without me clicking them
Are you running OBS.Studio as administrator? Can you also try closing OBS then open it again & try submitting a request to see it would autoplay.
running as admin went relaunched sent a song request it said added to que but didn't add it to que
@dry sphinx
nm my husband fixed it for me
it was a loyalty thing that got messed up
Thanks for the help

Hello all can Some body help me with this probleem?
@polar tusk Try to update your video drivers.

now when i activate my video capture it is invisible
Are you running OBS.Studio as administrator?
When you close OBS. Try opening it again but right click it first.
As there should be an option listed "Run as administrator"
still the same problem
Would be best to ask the OBS Pros in their Discord what's up for the Video Capture Device.

Hey ๐ I keep getting an error when trying to import my scenes from StreamLabs.. the import process gives me an error as soon as it gets to the importing alerts part. Thanks!
thanks @dry sphinx
@gilded quail check in the my overlays in the dashboard what has been imported. If nothing has been imported your slobs scenes either contain copyrighted material from SL which we will not import or the scenes measure over 10mb in size(some assets are above 10mb)

best to re copy the overlay url from the editor and insert it again
if you still get the same issue, duplicate the overlay and add the new one
also, best not to put your overlay url in public
Also best to not show your overlay URL publically. I have removed your post for security reason. Don't forget to copy the whole url starting with https://.
Oh my bad, thank you will try that !
Nothing, duplicated it and re put the URL but still showing the front page of streamelements ๐ฆ
can you dm me the url, and also the duplicated url
Hey all! Do you know if there is any possibility to connect OBS.Live to an app on your phone or ipad like there is on Streamlabs obs? I don't have a second monitor so this will help me! Thanks!
@rugged quail Follow these steps to grant managers/moderators access to your dashboard:

StreamElements does not have such an app yet. But there are apps out there to control your scenes and switches from a secondary device. @opaque pagoda
@odd kraken How is it called?
You could try out touch portal.
so I started using streamelements overlays and I added a few alert boxes with their own sound clips but the sounds don't appear on stream (I've beeen recording and checking them not actually streaming this today). Wanted to see if someone can help me out, thanks in advance!
@finite vault 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
Thx it's just the sound clips that don't play
As it may be trying to play another alert that doesn't have a sound file added.
Should the variation be the same then?
@finite vault I checked your overlays and they're set up correctly and the sound is playing fine. If you can hear them but the stream cannot, then that's an issue of OBS not picking up the same audio device that the alerts are playing back in.
Please check your audio settings.
Gotcha, what should I look for specifically?
is there a way while using Restream.io, to see youtube events in the OBS SE pluggin chat ?
I think I can see Mixer activity, twitch but not youtube
OBS.Live does not have YouTube support at this time, and StreamElements as a whole does not have Mixer support at this time.
Ah I see, thanks !!
Hi, on obs live im logged into the wrong twitch account and its showing the other twitch accounts chat and data
how do i log out to another twitch account
@urban sparrow StreamElements menu at the top.
thanks xD
so I cannot get any of the song request buttons to work in stream deck
I get the error "This StreamElements OBS.Live action is offline. Please wait for it to become available."
nvm got it working by undocking the widget in obs.live and redocking it
i just tried recording today and my game capture is constantly at low frames. tried streaming as well. same problem. it used to work just fine before so i checked all my settings and nothing has changed
@proper cargo 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.
the problem is still occuring after fixing all the problems
Please provide a new log following the fixes.
This log does not have an output session.
that just means i havent streamed
However, please note: Monitor and Game Capture Sources interfere with each other. Never put them in the same scene
thats just because my webcam is in the same scene
But i can put them in the same Scene when only one of both is active ?
(Monitor and Game Capture) @tulip hamlet
It'd be far better to have separate scenes for them, even if the only difference between the scenes is display vs. game capture.
@tulip hamlet all i have in my scene are the sources in this photo and there is no monitor capture
Don't keep posting the same screenshot, once is enough.
Ultimately we don't change the behavior of game capture in OBS, so you're better off asking in OBS discord:
my bad, sorry

Is anyone receiving a error at the bottom left that says encoding overheated. And to change settings or lower something. This never happened before and Iโve always been able to stream with no problems. Can anyone help me fix this issue
@bold fiber 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 have some Problems with my Bot (Custom Name) usage with OBS.Live i have found the problem were OBS.Live . When i usage my Bot Account to change from StreamElements to my BotName the bot cant trigger commands. Only Response were working when it were comes from a other Account. Some weeks ago i have no Problems with it. I think it cames with the last Update.
I was able to stream about a day or two ago and my videos were not skipping or freezing. but now it is and I see that error message at the bottom
@bold fiber The link above is for you and contains information about the causes.
Hey I need help
I have animated alerts and scenes that i want to transfer from slobs to stream elements obs
Im not sure how,and not finding anything on the internet
google has an extension that will export your scenes and alerts over to stream elements.
Alerts and tips. For scenes, that's in OBS.Live.
What do you mean by google
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/streamlabs-export-to-stre/micpdieddpifbgnnlbelgamnfpeonkpe
meant to say it's a google extention for chrome browser
wow
i managed a way with browser capture to get my animated alerts
anyways,ill figure this out for transitions rest is easy to be set up again
i suppose
I know you guys arent streamlabs but do you not allow Streamlabs alerts in OBS.Live? It would make sense that you wouldn't i suppose.
We don't block anything.
Ok. @tulip hamlet
Not sure if im missing something but OBS.Live wont let me move my facecam overlay around or anything. Its not locked just wont let me move anything around
Normally you make the overlay fit to 1920x1080, so make it fit your whole canvas and edit the cam frame position in the overlay editor.
I need help finding out where my withdrawal from SE.pay went? because I never saw it hit my account?

dope so im having problems with my chat, activity feed, and media request windows on obs.live where its not take up the full window it like taking up a quater of it and thats it if you need a pic lmk thank you
i cant get media request to play music sound on stream but it plays everywhere else
@quick wyvern try turning up desktop volume in obs.live
@quick wyvern lmk if that worked
thanks one sec ill try
@drowsy timber that didnt work audio is only playing through my headphones not on stream
obs is making sound in the mixer
you shouldnt have to add it as a source
@drowsy timber A screenshot of your issue would be helpful.
hey did the spotify widget get disabled or something?
its not listed in the "now playing" widget anymore
@opal latch You need to set your OBS audio settings to capture to the same device as the media request is playing back in, in this case your headphones.
@sonic sparrow Unfortunately, we are no longer able to support Spotify. Since we know how valuable this is for our community we are in discussions with Spotify to remedy this, but expect it to take some time.
dang thats lame
@tulip hamlet if im using a headset with a mic is there a way to seperate the music from the mic so i can control them seperatley?
the white around each one should not be there
That looks likely related to your set theme. Does the problem persist if you restart OBS with the Dark (Default) theme?
yes
Can you screenshot the issue happening with the Default theme after a reset of OBS?
np give me one sec
my twitch is connected
@floral agate This is not up to date.
Thank you. I can DM you some information, or if you prefer, I can send it via email.

Do I put my log file or send it to an admin

Anybody know why my chatbot's name won;t change?

Well I have that but I used Ground Control
My understanding was that I needed to use that and couldn;t through obs.live

When i launch R6 siege my FPS are normal at 144. As soon as i launch OBS studio with stream elements my friends drop to 60FPS. I checked my invidia settings, display settings for 144Hz all is okay, drivers are updated, same as my computer (updated all today). This issue was happening before all updates. As soon as I close down OBS my frames go back to 144 and butter smooth
I've been at this for hours. No help. Do I need to uninstall OBS?
I've been doing okay last sevral months. all working fine. this happened today
yes two monitors
Is one monitor a 144hz and the other a different hz?
So:
- R6:S is a heavy game for streaming - you might need a really beefy PC for that
- GPUs hate when 2 monitors are on 2 different Hz settings, as its basically a performance hit for the GPU
Updating GPU drivers might help in this case, but it might make it worse
I've used NVENC and x264, streaming at 720 by 60. Issue happened before updating drivers, updated them and issue is still there
This is the first time, I have a i7 8700k at 4.6, GTX1080 with 32 gb of ram
@keen apex For the best OBS support, please join their Official Discord @ discord.gg/obsproject
I have friends with less beffy set up and they are all doing fine streaming at 720 at 60
Well I can't really help as this is not related to our plugin
got it
but most likely to the settings you are using
thank you
better ask in the obs discord
okay
Did that email ever get sent out?
Why my HypeCup is not showing? i added browser and then paste the link i did get in the overlay editor [ pressed LAUNCH and coppied]

i see the alert and i have it turned on
new streamer here

Hi! ๐ does obs has issues showing current song on overlay? because it always worked , now today it doesnt :S any1 know why ?
You talkin' about the Spotify thingy @trail ginkgo ?

okay. thanks for answering! good day
Hey, i recently started using OBS with streamelements, and i used the popout feture on recent event, but now it's gone? Anyone could help me out? Thanks in advance
Select StreamElements at the top in OBS > Activity feed.
@odd kraken no, and all more alerts like cheer nad more not [cheer alert is making own sound and ignores my
Have you checked the variations?
I want just that reading, it worked yesterday
Enable all TTS on the variations and the default alert and disable the sound on all these alerts.
i did and it dont works [cheer alert]
Have you checked all the variations?
yes

I hope this is the correct place, but I use streamelemnts for my overlays, but I was looking at some of the cool animated ones by nerd or die and before I spent a few dollars on it, I wanted to know how in the world I get those in there? Do I just create a blank overlay and blank alerts and pull the files?
Thank you in advance.
If they've labeled a particular item as compatible with StreamElements then they'll have included instructions for how to do so. If they haven't, then you will need to manually edit the coding to make it compatible.
Ohhhhh okay, yeah I am a bit new to this ๐ lemme check.
Okay yes it says fully tested with streamlabs and streamelents so that answers that! Thanks @tulip hamlet
How can I get the webcam feed not to clash with the stream Overlay?
What do you mean by clash?
the webcam feed sits on top of the main overlay and obstructs some of it
So put the overlay layer over the webcam layer.
That make the webcam feed not visible at all
The webcam border should have a transparency allowing the webcam to be visible behind it.
Ok
Thanks alot
@unreal wasp 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
in the overlay editor you can add widgets like recent follower/sub/donator
then import it to obs using the steps above
thx
The activity alerts/chat on the obslive version of obs itself disappeared and I can't remember how to bring them back
The activity feed and chat?
Yeah, I got the chat because its in view
Click the StreamElements menu at the top of OBS.
You'll see options there. If they're not checked, they're hidden, so click them to make them show up.
Just fixed it, thanks. They were hidden
Hi, Im still waiting to hear back about where my se.pay money went? I was told I would be receiving a email yesterday but I havent heard anything since!
hey I'm hope I'm posting in the right spot I just reinstalled my computer and got the OBS live software reinstalled and before I reinstalled I had the stream information panel but now it won't show up not even when I open the view tab
@waxen trout If you are not seeing the OBS Twitch integrations and have OBS.Live installed, please follow these steps:

Hello, can anyone help me fix black screen ? I play on Remote Play PS4, and if i choose Display Capture, i wont get my layouts, and from Game / RemorePlayPS4.exe it does not shows any window or game :/
Hi all. I was here a few days ago asking about an issue where the obs.live StreamDeck plugin would not install. I hit install, the bar loads and the button that should say "uninstall" still says "install" The actions I'd expect to see are naturally not there. @odd kraken was asking internally for me, but IDK if progress was made.
I have dev experience and (of course) a StreamDeck, so I'd be happy to help fix this.
i cant connect my twitch to obs live it just spins and spins and it wont allow me to put in my login info any suggestions
@modern ember Internet connection? Obviously you're connected now, so maybe reboot it?
That's the only time I've had issues with it.
so no more Spotify widget? ๐ฆ
why are they like that, people will stll be playing songs anyway..
here is nobody who can help ?
@cunning nova For the best OBS support, please join their Official Discord @ discord.gg/obsproject
@vagrant fog im trying to login into my twitch and it wont allow me
@modern ember I understand. I'm not on the SE dev team, so I can only speak from personal experience. The only time I had an issue getting SE to connect to twitch was when it tried to load the page while my internet was out briefly. After that, only restarting OBS.live fixed it.
@odd kraken and anyone else interested. It seems my OBS.Live SD integration disappeared after Elgato failed to roll out an update correctly. It wouldn't install because it was already installed, but the SD software provided no feedback to indicate the problem on the User end. Manually removing the folder %APPDATA%\Roaming\Elgato\StreamDeck\Plugins\com.streamelements.obslive.sdPlugin and reinstalling did the trick. ๐
so im noticing huge frame drops while using animated overlays on obs from streamelements. Any remedy to this or should i stray from animated overalys. I already set it to shut down when not being used and even tried setting the animation to 30fps and still huge drops. i9900k 2080ti. thanks in advanced for any help
@void mulch 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.
can i log a recording using my stream encoder?
here is last one that shows
im seeing some failed things in the bottom
question is stream labs an obs replacment ?
do you think something to do with apex?
Likely.
i can stream anything on streamlabs maxed out no issues but for some reason when i use browser sources with animations i hits hard. ill try messing around with it
To start with the biggest question, are you limiting FPS in Apex?
no i use triple buffered and use a 240hz.
game setting are maxed out to lol could be that as well
Probably. At the least start by limiting your FPS.
ok what was the code for that again
comand*
i notice as soon as i swap from triple buffered to adaptive my gpu drops from 97 to 80 percent usage
Adaptive should be a good start, that does limit your framerate.
+fps_max 240 thats how i would do it correct? or should i go maby 200
When I import my settings from streamlabs to streamelement like my overlay there is no error, however I don't see any change for my scenes or my content being imported over
It's imported to your account on the site, not directly into OBS.
And you've been busy.
I like spamming buttons, so it's on the site. How do I get it into the obs
@spring creek 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
So it imports it as a picture, not interchangable parts? Correct?
The parts are managed on the site, the end result is a single piece in OBS.
Alright that was what I didn't get, assumed it worked the same as the scenes inside. Now just to get STremalabs to convert my currency
and I'll beat this around the head eventually
anyone know how to copy the logs on streamlabs so i can send you a log using an overlay and apex with streamlabs. i dont get any framedrops using overlays over there. but for some reason when i use an animated streamelement one it kills my stream it seems
Are you comparing an animated overlay and a static one?
animated
animated works great on my stream labs so i have no idea what is up with either the streamelement browser overlays or its possibly just obs that isnt liking something. i cant put my finger on it. i really like the stream elemets designs to.
I am having some major issues while live right now with my UDP stream from my camera it keeps locking up and just looking really bad in OBSlive. I could use some advice please.

Hi there,
Is there someone who can help me out with something? I want to have a scene with a fading to black (and maybe black fade to screen when needed). I can't do this with my transition because i have something else in my transition. So maybe there is a possibility to do it with a widget...
Anyone did that?
You basically either need a stinger or just a video source playing when unhidden
Hmm yeah.. Indeed
any particular reason one of my viewers receives this message when redeeming points? "Sorry you don't have enough points" when he has points and it doesnt happen to anyone else
they need to login to our site
it's odd cause it worked for them before and it doesnt now
but just login at streamelements.com?
ye
sweet, its fixed thanks as always @shy mountain
is there a issue with the activity feed? keeps asking me to reconnect to twitch and it is

Hi all, I've downloaded OBS live- looks great, on the sit says I can give the bot a custom name, but can't seem to find that functionality. Any help please?
@modern totem Custom bot name requirements
- StreamElements bot modded and in chat
- Active overlay with alerts
- StreamElements tipping page in the panels below the stream (!panels)
- OBS.Live or Ground Control open
- Create a twitch account for the name you want to use or run the bot under your own name
- Custom bot name doesn't work on Mac
is there issues with loggin in with custom bot in OBS.Live? I've tried multiple times now. after two tries, i logged out of OBS.Live and back in with my stream account and then tried again, still seems like it is logging in, but the list is empty after and it still says "Set custom bot name". I have all 3 green checkmarks. so i thought it had to be the OBS.Live install. So i uninstalled it, downloaded a fresh copy and installed... same issue after.
See where it says Connect Custom Bot Account at the bottom of your screenshot?
yes, and when i do that it seems like i log in, but it changes nothing
Trying to replicate the issue currently but it's working just fine ๐ค
it never logs into my second twitch account i use as custom bot. I've had this running before but with the latest update it stopped working. my last step is to try and reinstall OBS Studio
So you see where it says Not You? you click on that and log in with the bot account?
Alright, so your bot account has 2FA?
I'd suggest clicking on StreamElements at the top of OBS.Live and using the 'Report an Issue' option, then the OBS.Live devs who have a better idea about this can look at the issue
alright I'll do that and then try and reinstall OBS
btw can you answer me why this have been removed when installing OBS.Live compared to the normal OBS Studio
I don't know personally
i like the "Stream Information" way better than the OBL.Live one
Can always ask in your report ๐
Hi all! Is Media Requests running through a browser source? I was hoping to try to split the audio out for mixing purposes, rather than using the in widget volume slider, but I'm guessing that's not an option at the moment? Hoping you can validate that, or if you happen to have any suggestions, I'm all ears!
@frank shard currently it is not possible to do, but i read on github that OBS Studio have some thing in the works so we can select audio destination and levels for browser sources, but for now there is no dice.
Ahhh bummer, , that's what I was worried about. Thanks for the confirmation @echo tapir!
Hello!, I have an issue that involves the sign in page when you open up OBS.Live, when i click sign in with twitch it just freezes the application and sometimes my entire PC, if anyone can help with a solution it would be greatly apreciated

Hello Everyone, quick question...
How to add live chat into obs connected with youtube and streamelements? thanks
if you mean for overlays then its not possible for youtube.
if you want for obs dock then you can try logging into obs with your yt account settings > stream,
however im not sure if thats supported yet
also, just a heads up, you might want to read obs server #rules
more importantly rule 6
@plain sonnet Yes i ment add chat box for my obs live . for check, as people can see in real time what someone said in video in that specific time. PS: where i can find these rules ? i dont see this # rule on left side... i also google it, nothing.
i need help adding a custom transition
guys when i try to captchure any specific screen all i see is blackbars, how to fix that?
Hey guys, my buddy lost his chat bar entirely in streamelements obs. Tried right clicking to re-enable it but its not popping back up

Hello everyone, Iโm using OBS NDI and Iโm experiencing lag/Frame drop on my streaming computer. , This has only started when I began using SE overlays, but only when Iโm in-game (I play fortnite mostly).

The log from my most recent stream can be seen here: https://obsproject.com/logs/EIkJ136AC2uxen_l

@tulip hamlet. Context?
Well, you provided a link and didn't say why.
@thorny mica You can try logging out and back in but that aside if chat is checked in the StreamElements menu then it's hiding somewhere.

Please keep all communication in the public channels. Thank you.
I have a MASSIVE PROBLEM when it comes to streaming, I use streamelements because it's not so taxing on the cup. I have used to use 2 settings on OBS whether it's high setting 6000kbs 60 fps downscale to 720 or 2500kbs 30 fps downscale to 720. I always seem to drop frames drastically which means I can't stream for longer than 30 mins to an hour.
My internet is 75 download and 20 upload so I know it can't be that.
My BIOS is 2017 so really doesn't need updating as yet.
I have a ryzen 7 1700 O/C to 3.7 mhz with a 1060 6gb, whether I use the cpu or the gpu to decode/stream whatever it still comes down to the fact I drop frames.
I really don't know what to do, I feel like just giving it all up. Please HELP!!
@slender ember 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 a read through the guide to clear some of the warnings
https://h4ndy.eu/obslog?url=https%3A%2F%2Fobsproject.com%2Flogs%2FDgMoj2_J4u1lb1q_
i would also say turn your bitrate down to 6k
twitch's max is 6 and they can clamp down on anyone that goes over it.
turn off browser accel in obs settings
try using the NVENC (new) encoder, turn off look-ahead and pysco-visual tuning in encoder settings
if you can get a clean log from tomorrow that would be great
Hello,,Can you please help,, My notifications from stream elements are notshowing up in my OBS. Is there a way I can fix this or update my settings or somthing ?
Am i blind or is there any way viewers can view the song queue for media request?
default command is !songqueue
im trying to figure out why since istarted using live instead of normal obs why im starting use close to 10 percent of my cpu and not like 1.8 anymore everything is still the same
anyone know what todo when people say there like a 1 minute delay in your stream ?
I am having issues downloading the installation package
@median tiger What issue? Details and screenshots will help us understand the issue more clearly.
@tulip hamlet it was a user error, i figured it out. thank you for the prompt response
I am using OBS.live and made a overlay. I got it all set up, but when I hit ok, it was just a black screen with an overlay. It was meant to be an overlay while playing games, but nothing shows. I have been troubleshooting for the past 2hours and tried just about everything and watched about every video out there. From checking the files to running obs as administrator, nothing seems to work. I is probably something really simple and I am just being a dumbass, but if you could help me out I would be so grateful.
@shadow ridge OBS doesn't automatically capture your screen. You need to add a source to do that.
I know, but what am I missing. I made a browser source for my overlay, but it does not capture the screen.
A browser source puts a browser page on your scene. Nothing else. So, you need a source that captures your display. Like a display capture. Or a source that captures your game. Like a game capture. Or a source that captures a window. Like a window capture.
Not sure which channel to post this in, but for several days now whenever I go into the streameleements website to edit an overlay I am unable to save at all. Does anyone know how to fix this?
Not exactly the correct channel. What browser are you using?
google chrome. and sorry, not sure which channel to post it in

Hey, so whenever i twitch stream with OBS my game will lag on stream, then on my PC, and finally my whole PC just freezes and on twitch the screen is black however you can still hear me, so i was wondering if anyone could help me fix this
@supple wharf 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.
ok
https://obsproject.com/logs/KEBYeji_9WfwldLm -- Hello are we able to look at this
for some reaosn my games will lag and will lag pc -- but I have a powerful system so I shouldn't be having these issues
what does that mean?>
so there are 2 things:
- capture interference
- no output data
but I just streamed for 6 hours?
When can we login with a Mixer account??
Okay
but my system
Overwatch is set to all low settings
That can't be possible that it's overloading the gpu
Im not arguing with your PC specs, but im also not arguing with what the log analyzer is showing.
follow the guides in the analyzer
I don't know what any of that means ๐ฆ
Should I put the preset to max quality or is that not going to change anythingh?
You need to follow these recommended settings
https://obsproject.com/wiki/GPU-overload-issues - its a simple guide with instructions on how to resolve the GPU overload
https://obsproject.com/wiki/General-Performance-and-Encoding-Issues - and the other guide for the CPU overload

getting crashes since latest update
so i was wondering if i can get any help or upload the crash report
Please upload your crash report here.
Can you please send in a report using StreamElements at the top in OBS. I'll try to find someone look internally at it.
you have an AV codec installed (c:\program files (x86)\obs-studio\bin\64bit\avcodec-57.dll) that is causing the crash
try uninstalling the plugin
That .dll is part of the FFmpeg codec library, and is included with the OBS install. It would be best to ask in the OBS discord about this crash
@here anyone available to hop in a voice chat with me? currently setting up OBS with SE and have a few questions. cheers!
if anyone sees this and is willing to talk, please tag me lol
@here I cant get any of my pictures to upload onto the library. I made my own hype cup and banner, but the system wont let me upload them. SOS
How do I get my twitch chat set to overlay my scene ?
I believe there is a widget for that @tall nexus in the overlay editor
there is no output data https://h4ndy.eu/obslog?url=https%3A%2F%2Fobsproject.com%2Flogs%2F_eAlzbF9NrbxIhBY
everything seems fine from what you told me to do earlier, the only problem i really had was that when on 6000kbps and tried watching the stream on my phone it began to buffer but when knocked it down it was ok
no output data strange?
why would that be

I am trying to set up a Custom Bot Name in OBS Live:
I have the Second Account, I log in, Authorize the Account, ... then the white "Custom bot login" (White box) appears and hangs.
Any ideas how to get past this?
i dont have, sry @cerulean bison
Anyone else want to take a crack at it?
I would guess that a script is hanging... but I can't really say.
Maybe the Account has to share a common Email?
@cerulean bison Please take a screenshot or small clip of the behavior.
How do i make my animated overlay flash when someone follows me?
Custom coding.
What is that and how
As in you need to manually code the HTML/CSS/JS that will accomplish that.
And that's up to you.
what is HTML, CSS and JS
Scripting languages.
hello. is spotify widget no longer available?
it used to work but no longer working anymore and don't see the widget when adding anymore
@sudden obsidian Unfortunately, we are no longer able to support Spotify. Since we know how valuable this is for our community we are in discussions with Spotify to remedy this, but expect it to take some time.
Nethyr is it easy to do the coding thingy
@tulip hamlet thanks
@cerulean bison run OBS as Adminstrator and i think it were working without hangs by the Login from the Custom Bot.
hi guys i accidentally close the songrequest window on obs live how can i get i back?
@round pilot Thank you. Ill try that
This is directly after the Auth Code is entered. Literally the last step.
hmm maybe i didnt explain my problem understandably, i use obs with streamelents integrated. There you have the chatwindow activity feerd and also mediarequest. I poped out the window and closed it. now it isnt anymore on my obs
@cobalt tartan I'm fully aware of what you meant. Do you see the StreamElements menu at the top of OBS?
@tulip hamlet Nope, it doesnt, i know how to make a .bat file and make your pc shutdown
only thing i know how to
xd
@unreal wasp Then good luck and may the Force be with you.
well shit
@tulip hamlet ty mate
@cobalt tartan Got it?
@tulip hamlet No. From the settings in the Activity Feed.
yeah, i wanted to set up a custom bot name... created a new twitch account with a new name got the oath token set it up like i red in on reddit... when i now put in a !sr i get the message from the new account: ..., songrequest is now playing. But it doesnt get picked up in the queue
do i have to use obs live logged in with the new twitch account?
So I have gotten the Box to go away twice... however, the new account name does not appear in the Current Bot Name list.
anyone about to help with delay as it doing me head in lol
Okay, So. I got the WhiteBox to close.... Everything looks fine, The Extension is added to the Bot Account... only it doesn't show in the list.
So Now What?
The Bot account is a Sub, Following, I'm running OBS as an Admin.... I'm kind of at a loss.
It would be really nice if I can get this to work
Does anyone of you know someone that can help me with the animated overlay thing?? would rly appriciate it
@slender ember looks like a firewall is causing issues https://h4ndy.eu/obslog?url=https%3A%2F%2Fobsproject.com%2Flogs%2FkSs0byMvdJUIpDCA
apart from that the drops are really small
A bat file to shut down a computer...lol almost spit my pop out
I appreciate that ol bubby. Been a long day and I needed some humor
@ashen vapor Well, im horrible at coding, real terrible if you want to make it all clear
What are u wanting done?
i need my animated overlay in obs to flash when i get a new follower
Did u make your overlay?
Create another copy. Change the color or brightness or something. Then add it to your alert. Set your alert on obs above your overlay. So when you get a alert, it will just change according to the new one you made while the alert is triggered. Then go back to normal
a static copy?
U said your overlay is animated correct?
I'm not at a pc currently
Is that your overlay with the giant webcam
I don't do cs
ahh shit
well
Hes got a static overlay
but when someone follows
It lights
up
Team that's pretty much exactly what I told yee
but
Once I make it to my pc. I can voice chat
I would guess 30-1:00
But it's easy. Like your cam overlay for example. The dark boarder. Make it animated a color or something. When u finish that file. Go to alerts. And add it on there. If you position it exactly where your current cam overlay is, when u get a alert. It will animate when u get a alert
How big is the file.
2.78 gb
HAHAHAH WUT
Did u encode it as a webm
shhhhhhhhhh
shhhhhhhhhh
idk
i dont know wtf i have to do
i know how to make a fkn static webcam
im new to this animated stuff
Stop hitting enter after ever word. You sound like William shatner
I don't know who that is, but alright
i got the encoder now
do you want me to get premiere pro too?
u can. if u use it i would
then dont mess with it
it will encode formats that AE wont. and its just a encoder.
im trying to get you a pic of what to select
