collpase the layers tab with the arrow next to it.

potent topaz
#

oh wow! I missed that left arrow on layer to expand. It was that simple.. thanks so much @odd kraken

rugged quail
#

any reason why when i try to add media request or any other obs live options to my stream deck, it tells me "action currently offline?

odd kraken
#

Try to reinstall the stream deck software.

vagrant bramble
#

@fiery lava just realized my starting scene last night popped up and looked just fine.. so can my font/style sheet issue be isolated to one scene ?

rugged quail
#

no luck on the re-install

fiery lava
rugged quail
#

it still asks for me to wait for the action to become available

fiery lava
#

quite literally all on google and there servers both your start and brb seem to be loading now...

vagrant bramble
#

hmmm okay thank you!

odd kraken
#

@rugged quail Can you share a screenshot of that please?

rugged quail
kindred fox
#

Do you have the media request panel active in OBS?

rugged quail
#

yes

kindred fox
#

and inside the Tools menu of OBS you have the StreamDeck plug-in activated?

hollow dawn
#

Hi - SOrry to interupt, is the OBS SLOBS remote for android still able to be used in this version of OBS? I cant seem to get a QR code to sync it... Noob question i know. Thanks

odd kraken
#

If you are asking about the StreamLabs OBS version, best to ask StreamLabs.

hollow dawn
#

mmmm ok

fiery lava
#

or ask obs too

#

obs live is just a plugin for obs

rugged quail
#

@kindred fox yes, everything else for the deck works except obs live actions

hollow dawn
#

ok thanks

fiery lava
#

let me update to obs 511 and test

#

@rugged quail

rugged quail
#

thank you for all available help, unfortunately i have a stream in about 10 minutes, so if i dont reply that is why

fiery lava
#

only other thing i can think of is try reinstalling obs live from site

#

im on obs live 511 now and the stream deck buttons for media request are working

kindred fox
#

my suggestion would be to remove the StreamElements section from Stream Deck app then re-add it

rugged quail
#

i'll try

barren spear
#

why is there a 5 second delay when switching scenes?

odd kraken
#

Cause the overlays are some sort of website, so they have to load. You can use studiomode to transition after the overlay is fully loaded.

glossy axle
#

hello, i just updated obs and obslive and now i dont have the live control available. can i put it next to my activity feed to change stream title, game and so on like before?

steel bladeBOT
#

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

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

i can see chat and activity feed, but i'll try

fiery lava
#

to update title and game | obs>activity feed(stream elements) >hamburger menu top left>settings

vagrant bramble
#

@fiery lava Just went home and confirmed my overlays are still not loading correctly.

#

On obs\

fiery lava
#

open them in a web browser as well

vagrant bramble
#

I'm sorry... how?

fiery lava
#

the link you copy into obs as a browser source

#

just open it in google chrome

vagrant bramble
#

oh ha duh - thanks audchaDERP

#

if that works in web browser, will it then work on obs?

fiery lava
#

correct

#

if its broken in web browser chances our you can inspect>console and see the api.google.com.....css error server 403

vagrant bramble
#

would i be better of creating an entirely new overlay?..

fiery lava
#

I think you can get away changing just the font on those two overlays | creating a new overlay is not gonna stop google server from pooping

vagrant bramble
#

dammit google

#

thank you @fiery lava 🙂

normal rivet
#

if my overlay works in the browser but not in obs what should I do?

fiery lava
#

check hardware acceleration | obs>settings>advanced>scroll down > check/uncheck

normal rivet
#

that worked thank you!

rugged quail
#

My text on my overlay is different than the editor. I refreshed the overlay but the text is still different than what is shown on the Editor

tulip hamlet
#

Did you use a custom font?

rugged quail
#

Im using Audiowave

#

My Starting Soon widget is the correct font but all the others (socials, recent subs,etc) aren't

tulip hamlet
#

We're aware of the issue and are looking into it.

rugged quail
#

aight

#

thnx for the heads up ^-^

hardy tulip
#

Is there a way to make the chat window set to dark mode? just restarted SE OBS.LIve and it's now showing as a white background in chat.

plain sonnet
#

settings cog > non admin mode > dark theme

#

all other twitch related windows might need to be closed and reopened

hardy tulip
#

And how to get back to chat screen it is currently browsing twitch ugh

plain sonnet
#

if you undock it and maximise it you should see a "back" icon in either the top left or right

if not then close obs and it should fix it

hardy tulip
#

cool thanks @plain sonnet but every restart of obs.live it resets the theme to white . Is this a known issue?

plain sonnet
#

there is an update issues for docks (settings), i think the recent updates were just to support obs 24

there are plans for it to be fixed

fiery venture
#

Hiya! So over the past few weeks I've been streaming Jackbox Party Pack 6, and just recently OBS will not capture JPP6. Game capture results in an entirely black screen, and Window Capture freezes so it displays an image of the game and not the actual moving game.

#

I'm wondering what should I do to try and fix the issue? I've ran as administrator, tried compatibility mode, tried both fullscreen and windowed mode, all changing nothing.

steel bladeBOT
pine dragon
#

What do I do if OBS Game Capture won't capture certain games?

tulip hamlet
#

@pine dragon Run OBS as administrator. But sometimes it just won't work. Some games don't like it. In those cases, you use window or display capture.

pearl zephyr
#

Did BTTV support get removed from obs.live? I don't have the bttv menu in my chat widget anymore, and can't see bttv emotes in my chat.

pine dragon
#

Found out from OBS what the issue is:

] BOTOBS Bot: @DragonTek Bungie has opted to not allow OBS to hook Destiny 2 using Game Capture. See: https://www.bungie.net/en/Help/Article/46101

You will need to run the game in either windowed fullscreen or borderless windowed and use Window Capture instead.
tender warren
#

Hi SE fam! I hope all is well. I am running into the "Woops OBS has crashed" error, and I have never received it before. I was literally JUST streaming last night, and now I get this. Any ideas?

tulip hamlet
#

Can you provide a crash log?

tender warren
#

Yup, where should I paste it?

tulip hamlet
#

#

Uh.

#

The file, please.

tender warren
#

Ah Ok, let me see if I can grab it

#

@tulip hamlet Sorry, can you guide me to where I can find (%appdata%/obs-studio/crashesdirectory)

tulip hamlet
#

Paste that into file explorer, minus the parentheses.

tender warren
#

I did, and had it search the entire PC, but nothing came up

tulip hamlet
#

Oh, but rather.

#

%appdata%/obs-studio/crashes

tender warren
#

Yup, says Windows cant find that, and to check the spelling and try again

#

oh ok one sec

#

Got it

steel bladeBOT
#

@tender warren 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.

tender warren
tulip hamlet
tender warren
#

I opened "Show Logs" and its all from today, and my last stream was last night. If it helps, I pulled this from OBS studio and not the SE OBS.LIVE, which I use to stream.

#

When I open OBS.LIVE, it just crashes immediately. When I open OBS Studio, it doesnt finish loading, but I can access the toolbar.

tulip hamlet
#

OBS.Live is a plugin for OBS Studio, it's not its own program.

tender warren
#

Ok just making sure

#

Again, idk if this helps but none of my overlays or alerts were showing on my last nights stream either, which never happened before. And now this, not sure if its related or not

tulip hamlet
#

Check to make sure you have Browser Source Hardware Acceleration disabled in Settings>Advanced.

tender warren
#

Well that's when I can get OBS.Live to stop crashing

tulip hamlet
#

It's an OBS Studio setting. It applies with or without OBS.Live.

tender warren
#

Ok I unchecked it

#

That fixed it! @tulip hamlet

#

Thank you very much!! @tulip hamlet

tawdry pelican
#

Hey i was hoping that there was a way that i can hear what my mic sounds like without going live on my account?

tulip hamlet
#

Make a recording instead.

glad wedge
#

i have a problem with my browser source and was wondering if anyone knew why its not picking up the url?

bitter dragon
#

does this software connect to all 3 chats at the same time like restream chat app does? or is it stuck only to twich fb and or yt like one at a time?

midnight bloom
#

Is high CPU usage an issue with the latest update?

shy mountain
#

@bitter dragon no

#

@midnight bloom settings -advanced - turn on hardware accel

steel bladeBOT
#

@glad wedge Right click on the BrowserSource > Properties > Scroll down a bit > Refresh Cache of current page

midnight bloom
#

@shy mountain I’ll check tomorrow but isn’t it on already by default?

shy mountain
#

Not everytime

midnight bloom
#

Ok I’ll check tomorrow and will report. Thanks.

rugged quail
#

so i set up a new scene, and added my cam. no picture shows up.

shy mountain
#

If you've added the webcam to another scene

#

remove the newly added webcam source

#

go back to the other source where its active

#

right click the source -> copy -> go to new scene -> paste

rugged quail
#

i only get paste reference and if i change settings on the new pasted scene it changes on main scene

shy mountain
#

Well yea - if you are looking to make the cam bigger/smaller in different scenes you can only resize within the preview

#

hint: if you want a box VS wide video - ALT + the side dragables in the preview will help

rugged quail
#

i was hoping to run a black out silhouette in a second scene for easy switch

shy mountain
#

I'm not sure what the goal is here thonking

#

maybe the OBS guys can help more

hi
my wife is trying to stream from my PC On her account.
using OBS.live
ive logged out of my account and she has logged into hers

shy mountain

You need to change the streamkey

#

Settings -> Stream -> replace streamkey or disconnect

#

Hello, My recording screen stays black if I add a game capture or a window capture

shy mountain

run obs as admin

Doesn't work

steel bladeBOT
ocean tinsel
#

ok, so I made the mistake of updating to get the GPU driver error... so I looked and saw that OBS was on v24 and not v23 (which the download link said was supported) so I uninstalled everything and now the Streamelements installer is picking up 24 and crashing when I try to use it.

Please help

odd kraken
#

What error do you get?

night stag
#

Hi OBSLive team, could you please help. I have set up OBS studio with the Live and have to use the studio mode, due to the time it takes for the overlays to load through. This causes a small problem that when I can a alert the sound is doubled by the preview window and normally out of sync. any advice is greatly appreciated. thanks Ox

ocean tinsel
#

I think I fixed it... Deleted literally everything and only used the streamelements installer

#

it apparently DOES work on 24

plain sonnet
#

@night stag that is expected as you have both scenes open. the best thing is to get or make a stinger transition so you dont have to use studio mode.

there are some free ones out there is you google it

night stag
#

okay thank you, guess no way to just mute the preview ?

plain sonnet
#

only if you mute the alerts overlay in the preview screen, then you will need to activate it when you change scenes which isnt really proactive

night stag
#

damn, thankyou anyway @plain sonnet its a 8 second delay a little long for a stinger

plain sonnet
#

if its that long then you can cut your overlays into two portions, parts that need to refresh and parts that dont.

things like alerts and labels can be in the "refresh" overlay
chat and the overlay graphics can be in the "non refresh" overlay

this way you are only loading the text and everything else will be stored in your cache and will be shown straight away

hot siren
#

The new twitch highlighted messages dont seem to stand out too much in the OBS live chat windows, or is it just me?

odd kraken
#

The chat should be the same as the normal twitch chat.

hot siren
#

I'll grab a screenshot next time 😄

ocean tinsel
#

New issue! after reinstalling, I can only pull like 15 FPS max, down to like 1... Never had an issue before

@ocean tinsel 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.

ocean tinsel
#

Why would it not pick up my GPU?

#

currently on GeForce Game Ready Driver v 441.08 released 10/29/2019

fiery lava
#

which card do you have

ocean tinsel
#

1080ti

fiery lava
#

I was working with a DT member yesterday and the 10/29/19 driver was breaking replay buffer on obs for him so we rolled gpu drivers back one date

ocean tinsel
#

how should I go about doing that, I havent needed to in the past so idk

fiery lava
#

select geforce>10 series > oct 22 date download it

#

when you go to install it there will be an option to do a clean install use that

#

after your computer restarts or installs geforce will try to update to the latest you will need to skip that update

ocean tinsel
kindred fox
#

is that the WHQL driver?

ocean tinsel
#

I think I had the wrong one

#

trying a different one

fiery lava
#

ok

ocean tinsel

(coming off a long night shift so im a little hazy sorry)

Hi, I'm trying to add Media Request to my stream, and after I click the "tour" button, it wants me to put in a YouTube URL. I do that and click Add Media, but it says the URL is invalid. Anyone know about a fix?

odd kraken
#

DM me the url you are trying to enter please.

eager ridge
#

It doesn't matter which URL it is, none work

#

But yea, I'll send you

odd kraken
#

Reload the dock with the circle at the top left of the dock and try to add the song please.

eager ridge
#

Didn't work :/

#

Tried restarting OBS too, no luck with that either

odd kraken
#

Try to log out of StreamElements and log back in using StreamElements > Log out at the top in OBS.

eager ridge
#

Same error

odd kraken
#

Can you enter the song via the website?

eager ridge
#

Yes, it works there, the only place it doesn't work is on the "tour" thing.

odd kraken
#

Select the Leave tour button.

eager ridge
#

Alright, I did it and now it works perfectly

#

Guess the tour is bugged? Idk

#

Thanks for the help!

ocean tinsel
#

ok, I rolled back my driver and im still seeing 14 some fps

How do I add camera zoom into my scenes?

That would be made through the camera properties in the source.

modest wharf
#

Hello there is something wrong with my obslive capturing I search for it It says open the obs.live with intel graph however when obs runs with intel gamecapture won't work

#

When I run with nvdia Gamecapture works but window capture colapses

#

Is there any solution for it ?

odd kraken
#

Are you on a laptop?

modest wharf
#

yea

#

It's kinda leptop croinc problem ?

odd kraken
#

Have you started OBS as admin? Normally from my understanding Game and Window capture should work, if one is working.,

modest wharf
#

I already try it still can't see desktop

odd kraken
#

Screen capture is different then.

#

Laptops need extra setup to use Display Capture.
Due to the way laptops are designed, OBS must run on the Integrated GPU to use Display Capture. This process effectively disables Game Capture and Window Capture. If you would still like to use it, please read this guide and follow the directions for Display Capture: https://obsproject.com/wiki/Laptop-Troubleshooting#configure-your-system-for-display-capture

Please note: we recommend using Game Capture and Window Capture wherever possible. These capture methods get better performance in almost all cases.

Hey guys need your help
i try streaming Call of Duty with nvenc(new) and OBS at 720p but all times crash OBS and disconnect. Exist an solution for this?

I'm trying to import my obs overlay to stream elements and it doesn't seem to be working it keeps freezing anybody having this issue

thin raven
#

how long would you say because if its not in like 15 days ill have'to switch to nightbot

dry sphinx
#

No ETA.

#

Import from where? SL?

mortal burrow
#

Yeah or regular obs But want to use stream elements and trying to sending my overlay over there and it won't let me

dry sphinx
#

If you're importing from Streamlabs: Theimport tool in OBS.Live is designed to import everything to the My Overlays page on our website

As long as it isn't copyrighted material

mortal burrow
#

Only conquer it on any of my material is my own...and stops importing whenever I try

thin raven
#

is it possible to add browser on to obs not my stream but to view on obs

odd kraken

Since v24 there is a custom browser dock available.

I'm trying to find a (preferably free) way to select which audio sources are audible on stream. I tend to stream with others in Discord with me and play music. I want to be able to toggle the discord audio while allowing the music/game sound to continue. Has anyone found a reliable work around for this?

Please @ me if you have.

shell gyro
#

I love using OBS live the only thing I have a question is how to update my stream title when I start a stream or do I have to keep going to twitch or streamelements site to change the title and game im playing?

odd kraken
#

In the burger menu in the activity feed you can update the infos.

#

@fickle flame From my understanding the variations for custom amounts should work live, when they already work while emulating alerts. Have you saved the overlay?
You can also try to readd the overlay to your OBS.

small galleon
#

hi ihave a question re obs live. ive been using it for some time and recently had to reinstall im not sure which way i had it set so need to ask........ when opening the programme do i run with nvidia processor (default) or intergrated graphics ? to be clear im not talking about encoder settings inside of the programme i have those all set im just talking about what should i use to open the programme.....thank you in advance

fiery lava
#

never integrated graphics when you have a gpu

small galleon
#

thats for opening obs right

fiery lava
#

can you screen shot the options your talking about

small galleon
#

i can describe what im doing if that helps

#

right click on obs live, run with graphics processor and then 2 options, 1 high-performance NVIDIA processor (default) 2 intergrated graphics

#

im just talking about opening obs live. my settings are fine once open

tulip hamlet
#

You probably do not want to run it with integrated graphics, especially if you end up using NVENC.

small galleon
#

i am using the new nvenc encoder

tulip hamlet
#

Then yeah, avoid your integrated graphics like the plague.

small galleon
#

so open obs live with nvidia and use new nvenc encoder got it

#

thank you both for the help 🙂

violet tinsel
#

how do you make the game capure

odd kraken
#

Add a game capture source to your sources list in OBS.

Hey guys, tried to use the overlay importer but it goes to 55 out of 54 and sits at 100% and just stops.. i left it for an hour and nothing.. any thing i am doign wrong?

tulip hamlet
#

55 out of 54? thnk

unique bough
#

exactly

#

it was importing and it went 1 over and then just sat their it seemed.. odd

tulip hamlet
#

Well, in a general sense, the import will fail if you're attempting to import assets that are too large or Streamlabs-owned assets.

unique bough
#

hmmm

#

might the size i will check that

What is that Browser Source Hardware

tulip hamlet
#

Browser Source Hardware Acceleration?

leaden wigeon
#

Yeah

tulip hamlet
#

It uses your CPU to render browser sources.

leaden wigeon
#

Damn that killed my OBS lol

tulip hamlet
#

Or rather.

#

It's trying to offload the work from the CPU to other things.

leaden wigeon
#

Q do you guys have classes like I want to learn more about how to implement plugins and use them on stream eg Motion filter plugin

tulip hamlet

Im thinking more of a commission 1v1 session

We don't, no.

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

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

i did all that, its just the one dock is missing

If it's not in the Docks menu, follow the above steps in their entirety, in order.

shy mountain
#

@peak osprey And then install it again and see how it behaves.

Unless there is another theme with the same design but different color

shy mountain
#

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

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

try this

rugged quail
#

gold medal for 1000m headshot. it worked!

shy mountain
#

that was a long and blind shot monkaS

rugged quail
#

and im up and logged back in and have stream feed

shy mountain
#

i read that as "fed" kekW

#

feed the stream peepoFat

rugged quail
#

lol

#

you must be as sleep deprived as me

#

🙂

shy mountain
#

its 12PM and I recently had lunch

rugged quail
#

its 6am and i have been up 28 hours

shy mountain
#

go sleep and stream with full energy pepeD

rugged quail
#

lol i really should but in 3 hours house work to be done.

#

thank you for the shot in the dark. it worked

shy mountain
#

it was worth it

rugged quail
#

quick question

shy mountain
#

slow answer Thinkies

rugged quail
#

so i only have one cam, and i have two scenes but when i copy and paste cam onto second scene. i get nothing

wary dew
#

add the cam as a source

odd kraken
#

Add the cam one time to OBS as source and then use the existing source to add.

radiant pulsar
#

will obs.live be able to see the new twitch polls?

shy mountain
#

Have you tried running a new poll?

#

Because we just embed the chat in a dock, so it should work normally

radiant pulsar
#

Oh tested it yes the poll shows up in the obs.live chat window nice

shy mountain
urban forge
#

Hey everyone, I have what I hope is an easy question

shy mountain
#

shoot

urban forge
#

I recently had to reinstall OBS and after I did that, the chat screen is now white and super bright. I cant seem to make it in dark mode again. Anyone have this happening as well?

shy mountain
#

Cogwheel on chat -> switch to non-mod mode -> toggle for dark mode

urban forge
#

I was afraid to click that cause I don't know what Non-mod meant, like it will stop moderators/chat bot type stuff

radiant pulsar
#

Oh and if you type /poll in obs.live chat the window to create a new poll with all the options appears. YAY

urban forge
#

i did that, hit dark mode and then switched mod mode back on and it stayed dark. Thank you Thank you Thank you

#

the white was soooo bright haha

shy mountain
#

vvBlind 👍

keen depot
#

Hello guys! I have a problem with OBS in which when I use the window capture feature some windows shows just a black screen. Anyone could help me solving that? It's weird, because I see lots of people saying chrome has some issues in obs but for me Chrome works just fine with OBS! The problem is with Skype, oculus home, and some others! I would say 50 % of the windows I choose shows the black screen. Would anyone mind helping me please? Thanks in advanced!

shy mountain
#

Do you run OBS as admin?

keen depot
#

I tried lots of things today, like running it in administrator mode, compatibity mode, tried disabling the SHARE feature on Nvidia GeForce experience

#

Updating OBS also didn't work

shy mountain
keen depot
#

This also happens with some games, like Pavlov

#

On thank you so much

#

Well isn't this an OBS server?

#

I thought it was

#

What is this discord about?

#

I was searching for solutions to my issue and then I just found something that makes one better

#

Like a plug-in

shy mountain
#

This is Streamelements discord.

#

We do have an addon for OBS Studio - OBS.Live

keen depot
#

Oh that's it

shy mountain
#

but its meant to help for other things and not hinder the capture of OBS Studio

keen depot
#

What does it do?

steel bladeBOT
keen depot
#

What other things?

shy mountain
#

OBS.Live only adds the activity feed, chat and media request we provide as features on our dashboard, but on OBS Studio.

#

Thats about it

keen depot
#

Where can I know more stuff about it?

#

I'm really interested

shy mountain
#

Thats everything there is to OBS.Live

#

Ooh and custom bot name support instead of using the other software we provide

fierce atlas
#

the best way to know is to test it for yourself tbh 🙂 it's easy to install and uninstall

#

there's not much downside

keen depot
#

I'll take a look into it on YouTube

#

Thank you so much guys!

Question: Why does Media Request insist on popping out of its dock every time I turn it on? I can put it back manually, but it seems odd to need to. Also, in my case it pops onto the screen I'm recording, so that's annoying.

shy mountain
#

streamelements on top -> logout -> login?

#

maybe that will refresh it a bit

#

at least its possition saving location

#

or save its new location

vagrant fog
#

@shy mountain Nope. It remembered where I had it, but clicking "launch" still pops it out. If it helps, it also always offers me the tour.

shy mountain
#

well skip the tour

#

if you press the launch button again, it should return it to its original location and stay there

#

unless you are saying thats not the case?

vagrant fog
#

Let me re-verify

#

Yeah, I don't see a "Skip" button, just "Take a Tour" and "Launch media Request". I use that second one, but that pops it out (and still over my recording screen)

shy mountain
#

can you show me a screenshot?

vagrant fog
shy mountain
#

and when you click the "take a tour" what do you see?

#

as I believe the next thing you see is the MR dock properly + the skip tour button

vagrant fog
#

Um, it did the same thing as "Launch..." but with a yellow banner at the top that I didn't read b/c I was reading this

#

hang on 😛

#

I have to either restart obs or log out/in to get it back to that state

shy mountain
#

im confused whats happening NotLikeThis

#

can you record what you are doing?

#

you can logout and login while recording/streaming

vagrant fog
#

Sure. Do you know of anywhere I can shove a stream so we don't have to deal up/downloading files? I'd use my twitch if it didn't notify everybody.

shy mountain
#

i mean..you can record and toss the file here directly if its short and not too big

#

or use streamable to quickly upload the file

#

no need to stream what you are doing shrugg

vagrant fog
#

Fair enough. I guess Discord's got the space

shy mountain
#

I'm just in general confused whats happening when you click the stuff, as it sounds like not hte proper way to use the buttons OR the wrong behavior is happening here

#

well discord has a 50mb limit(100mb if boosted server)

vagrant fog
#

For sure, I do IT work myself so I feel your pain.

shut ferry
#

Hi Everyone

#

Can i stream to multi platforms using OBS live?

shy mountain
#

We support twitch, yt and fb on obs.live

#

and you can only be logged in into 1

#

that doesn't mean you can't stream to restream - we just don't have support for it

#

while obs stuido does

shut ferry

I usually use Restream...

#

as long as he's working, sure

fiery lava
#

how can I assist you

shy mountain
#

yea his shift just about starts and my ends

#

Weird MR behavior

#

tour doesn't go away and the dock pops out strangly

fiery lava
#

watching now

shy mountain
#

btw theres a button on the MR dock on the top left corner that is the default "return dock"

#

after you click "take tour"

#

originally i was referring to that button @vagrant fog

#

that returns the dock in the previous/original position

#

and my idea to make it save its new position is, move it somewhere else, then logout and login

#

and see if that triggers the tour process again

vagrant fog
#

Yeah, I can try it undocked

#

I did already move it to an new dock position, though

#

Anyways, thanks for your help

#

enjoy the nap

shy mountain

I'm not wanted anymore vvCrying

rapid falcon
fiery lava
#

try reinstall obs.live plugin for StreamDeck

rapid falcon
#

I did it with obs.live open this time as well

#

I'm running obs.live itself as admin if that matters

#

Ok, tried obs without admin elevation and same thing

fiery lava
#

obslive version?

rapid falcon
#

19.10.24.511

#

It's working now but odd how I had to do it

#

So I have to enable Media request each time I load obs.live, and it pops out by default. I was dragging it back to docked mode and it wouldn't work.

#

If I click the "dock" mode icon in the upper left instead, it docks and then the buttons work

#

Just tested closing and reopening twice and it worked both times to get it going.

fiery lava
#

was the tour button on your media request each time

rapid falcon
#

Yes

fiery lava
#

thanks for the work around

rapid falcon
#

Thank you!

minor wave

hello, will stream elements capture chat from both youtube and twitch at the same time since I'm using Restream to stream to both services?

OBS.Live can only show one chat at a time.

also, is there a way to test the alert box with test notifications?

Hi, My new overlay has stopped working on streamlabs OBS, i was usng the browser source, but not for some reason when there is an activity (follow/host) the alert does not play on my stream

#

it worked when i emulate it but it doesnt work when it actually happens

steel bladeBOT
#

@haughty wedge We're not able to troubleshoot issues with using our overlays in StreamLabs OBS (SLOBS) as we don't have the tools to support their software. We recommend using OBS Studio or OBS Studio with our plugin OBS.Live.

river sorrel
#

Hi! Is there a way that the streamchat can be setup top to bottom?

#

All the way I mean

hardy tulip
#

Not sure where to direct this but SE overlay editor when maximised with the browser , one cannot see the save button. You can only see it when you resize the browser window. Is this a visual bug?

odd kraken
#

@hardy tulip Can you sahre a screenshot of that please? Working for me when I maximize the browser window with the overlay editor.

hardy tulip
#

Oh nvm, it was my taskbar hiding it . All good @odd kraken

river sorrel
#

Thanks @odd kraken How can I install them? 😛

odd kraken
#

Create a custom widget in your overlay and replace the tabs with the files provided (JSON > Fields).

river sorrel
#

Got it, thanks! 🙂

#

Hi, My new overlay has stopped working on OBSlive as well , i was usng the browser source, but not for some reason when there is an activity (follow/host) the alert does not play on my stream
it worked when i emulate it but it doesnt work when it actually happens

fiery lava
#

screen shot?

haughty wedge
#

of the alerts?

fiery lava
#

the whole window

haughty wedge
#

Which bit do you want, streamelemtns, obs, settings?

fiery lava
#

obs live

haughty wedge
fiery lava
#

do you see any of the replay events from activity feed

haughty wedge
#

not at the moment

#

i downloaded OBS live just now

#

so it doesnt have the old activity

fiery lava
#

under streamelements button you should be able to show activity feed

#

your overlay is working here for me so lets try hardware acceleration | obs>settings>advanced>scroll down> check/uncheck

haughty wedge
#

When I emulate it, it works

#

but when someone acxtuly follows or hosts, nothing comes up

fiery lava
#

do you see me replaying alerts from 5 days ago

haughty wedge
#

yeah i can see that come up

#

those ones are coming up.
but when im live, ive got my friend t test the host alert and it doesnt seem to link

#

😦

steel bladeBOT
#

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

  • All hosts coming from an online channel with at least 1+ viewer
  • Auto host events with at least 1 viewer - only from a channel that just went offline
    Note: If you see "X channel has hosted you" with no viewers on the back, that is considered an offline host or a host with 0 viewers, we do not show these.
haughty wedge
#

Even Justgiving have a broswer source which doesnt seem to work either, if i donate to my cause the alert doesnt come up

#

so it doesnt seem to be just SE 😦

#

but ill try again

river sorrel
#

For some reason, im hearing my media request double, I have nothing opened in my web browser just obs...

fiery lava
#

turn off browser sources when not visible

haughty wedge
#

thank you

steel bladeBOT
#

@river sorrel 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 ☑ “Shutdown source when not visible” https://youtu.be/KDvLynUqXI4

river sorrel
#

Still the same :/

fiery lava
#

you have media request widget in more than one overlay

#

unless you "shutdown source when not visible" it will play in all overlays

#

you can make media request its on overlay and add it once to obs

#

and remove the widget from each of your overlays

river sorrel
#

Thank you, I didnt realise that 😅

@low falcon Follow these steps to grant managers/moderators access to your dashboard:

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

ill find it. 2 sec

alot of those

need a log of you starting the stream at least

steel bladeBOT
#

@rugged quail 1) Restart OBS
2) Start your stream/recording for about 30 seconds. Make sure you replicate any issues as best you can, which means having any games/apps open and captured, etc.
3) Stop your stream/recording.
4) Select Help > Log Files > Upload Current Log File. Copy the URL and paste the link here.

(Note: If you do not see an obsproject.com URL, you will need to update OBS Studio to version 22+)

@plucky meteor are you asking about switching scenes?

plucky meteor
#

@kindred fox I’m talking about being able to put the overlay on while streaming from a console

kindred fox
#

Which console?

#

Because consoles stream direct to twitch/mixer there’s not a way to intercept the stream unless you stream to mixer and use their lightstream integration

#

You’d need a capture card

plucky meteor
#

@kindred fox ps4.

kindred fox

Which does a lot of the encoding

plucky meteor
#

O

You can do that and see how well it goes

#

Reinstallation can fix?

shy mountain
#

This is a more technical issue, that is unrelated to obs.live(unless proven other wise by the OBS guys at their discord)

#

obs.live is a plugin for OBS Studio and the best place to ask for the issue, even though you've updated your graphics drivers

#

as suggested by the error message

swift pine
#

Ok thanx

sharp cloak
#

So, while you were talking to Smaira, I went and made sure everything on my side was up to date. And they are. I usually check for driver updates about every 2 weeks. I have to for my job. (I work from home.)

shy mountain
#

dropping frames suggests internet connection issue.

#

Either follow the guide provided by tadpole or provide me with a log file.

sharp cloak
#

We have one of the fastest speeds in our city. And even then it was happening.

Lemme see if I can find the files in SE and SLOBS. Gimme a few.

shy mountain
#

Having even 1gbps connection, does not guarantee 100% uptime.

plain sonnet
#

also, its connection, not your internet, it could be anywhere between your pc and twitch.

as you said you have no issues with ps4 but do on pc with 2 different apps, i think you have a place to start

sharp cloak
#

That's what I'm not understanding though...

I'll play a game on the PC and even though SE/SLOBS will d/c... I have no issues or lag in the game.

shy mountain
#

games don't require much of a stability, where as OBS needs a stable one.

#

because OBS provides a constant stream(like a river) of upload of your gameplay

any little interference in the connection is felt by OBS

#

whilist games can compensate

sharp cloak
#

Ah, ok. Gotcha.

shy mountain
#

if the log file suggests dropping frames, its the same guide

sharp cloak
#

So even if I upgraded everything in my PC, it would still drop b/c of my connection?

And I'm looking for the log.

steel bladeBOT
#

@sharp cloak 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.

shy mountain
#

if you provide a SLOBS log - we can't help there

#

SLOBS is a fork of OBS Studio

sharp cloak
#

@shy mountain mind if I create a Google Docs and have you look at it that way?

shy mountain
#

what?

#

OBS uploads the log file to their own link

sharp cloak
#

......I'm in SE..... I stated that a few times.

shy mountain
#

Lets point out exactly where you are because now you are completely confusing me.

#

or in OBS.Live?

sharp cloak
#

StreamElements. I don't have OBS.Live on my PC.

#

I only have SE and SLOBS. That's it.

shy mountain
#

Then if you are having issues with dropping frames with SLOBS, contact their support.

#

The only things you can install on your PC provided by us is OBS.Live(packed with OBS Studio) and Ground Control.

#

Ground Control is not used to stream directly with it.

Hey everyone, can anyone help explain how or why I cant seem to insert an image into an overlay?

shy mountain

If you are using Internet Explorer/Edge to upload images - don't - use Chrome(or any other browser)

Hello

Where do i put the link from my Theme in OBS exactly ?

#

@narrow mica 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.

#

@narrow mica 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 ☑ “Shutdown source when not visible” https://youtu.be/KDvLynUqXI4

Hi there I need some quick help. So I decided to use discord as a dock in obs studio with inputting the url for more screen efficiency since I am using 2 monitors. But I have a problem. Usually when you want discord to work in browser it prompts permission for mic usage. So the dock in obs studio does that too. But it instantly fades back and there is no selection for me to permit mic usage. Any help?

stream elements is a plugin

#

it uses the OBS application

vale dawn
#

So is that a way of saying I wont even try to help cause "not my concern"

plain sonnet
#

no

#

its a way of saying you are having trouble with obs dockable browsers and the best place for support with OBS is their discord

fiery lava
#

obs.live is a plugin for obs 24 the capabilities of the new dock feature and their limitations or lack of control for external devices(webcams,mics) would be something only OBS would know

@fiery lava thank you!

hi anyone, my viewers cant seem to change/downscale my stream quality.

I remember it being a possibility before,

what setting do i need to alter?

fiery lava
#

That is on twitch ingest server that you connected to. It has nothing to do with the software you use to upload your content | I would try to manually select your server or another server near by

plain sonnet
north osprey
#

right, that isnt an option @plain sonnet

and sure @fiery lava i can try,

#

@fiery lava changed it from auto to my city, i think that's it right?

fiery lava
#

worth a shot but if that doesnt work its on twitch not you

wary dew
#

@north osprey that option is Twitch, contact them about it

north osprey
#

oh okay, well let me test it out and report back, thanks for the assist everyone

#

thanks guys! that did it

undone shoal
#

Hey, I am having trouble setting up obs in general. my overlays etc wont fit to the screen but rather become way to big

wary dew
#

check these settings on your overlays

plain sonnet
#

is that your overlay @wary dew

wary dew
#

no

#

it was a test for someone else

#

i think it is a standard one from VBI or NoD

plain sonnet
#

if that overlay url is active you might want to hide it,
having it public means people can alter it

wary dew
#

👀

#

i changed it in paint now LULW

#

just to be sure

undone shoal
#

If I would start a stream now with a overlay active, the twitch is connected. if someone were to follow or donate would it pop up on stream?

wary dew
#

depends, did you activate the alertbox overlay widget?

undone shoal
#

where do you do that?

wary dew
#

go here

#

and then setup all your alerts in the settings

plain sonnet
#

@silk swift how do you mean "not showing"?

#

is it just a black screen?

undone shoal
#

Thank you!

#

Haha another question, when livestreaming a game on pc, Do I use a game capture or display capture for better "quality"?

odd kraken
#

game capture.

undone shoal
#

Do I need to set it up anyway? Cause I did it but could not see the game come up when playing

#

Sorry for all these questions

wary dew
#

it's fine, this is a helpdesk after all 😉

#

there are people that come in here with weirder stuff than this LULW

undone shoal
#

haha

plain sonnet
#

what game are you trying to capture?

undone shoal
#

Destiny 2

plain sonnet
#

Bungie has opted to not allow OBS to hook Destiny 2 using Game Capture. See: https://www.bungie.net/en/Help/Article/46101

You will need to run the game in either windowed fullscreen or borderless windowed and use Window Capture instead.

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

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

Ok, afternoon folks. I have been talking with Sean and KeiZar though the email support tickets trying to solve an issue and was directed here, so here goes.

OBS has started crashing on me at the beginning of the week. From what I can tell it has something to do with trying to add a browser source to a scene. That being said if I try to even launch OBS.live it will crash automatically and not even open the program window. If I uninstall OBS.Live and try just running OBS Studio then it is stable until I try to add the browser source. I have tried OBS.Live, just OBS, and even tried SLOBS to see if the issue is recurrent. Results have been the same every time that I have tried something. OBS.Live just crashes and Studio or SLOBS just crashes upon trying to add the browser source. I will include two crash logs with this. The newest one which I just generated is when trying to launch OBS.Live and the second one is from last night when I had OBS.Live uninstalled and tried to add the browser source through just OBS Studio.

I have done full uninstalls and installs with rebooting in between as well as running the programs in admin and compatibility mode to see if that made a difference which has not seemed to affect the outcome. Please let me know what further Information you require and I will try to promptly provide it.

Give me a minute then... that will require me to uninstall OBS.Live again.... it will not even launch otherwise

steel bladeBOT
#

@prisma zodiac 1) Restart OBS
2) Start your stream/recording for about 30 seconds. Make sure you replicate any issues as best you can, which means having any games/apps open and captured, etc.
3) Stop your stream/recording.
4) Select Help > Log Files > Upload Current Log File. Copy the URL and paste the link here.

(Note: If you do not see an obsproject.com URL, you will need to update OBS Studio to version 22+)

sinful flint
prisma zodiac
#

So to make sure I'm understanding this correctly, you want me to start up a stream even though this isn't happening during a stream?

sinful flint
#

We basically just need to get some information about what's happening. So far it is only pointing to the Windows 10 Gaming Features it mentions

#

"Warning: Windows 10 Gaming Features

Certain Windows 10 Gaming features are turned on and interfere with OBS by putting additional load on your CPU and GPU. We recommend disabling them when using OBS via these instructions.

These features are designed to provide the most performance to your game by lowering GPU priority of other applications, which would be fine if OBS didn't need a tiny bit of GPU to function."

lets try one other thing let go back to obs 23 and the obs live that goes with it

i just re-installed obs live and now my scene is all white and not showing anything how do i fix this?

odd kraken
#

Normally this is caused by an antivirus tool, not being able to connect to the StreamElements servers. Do you use an antivirus tool?

charred lava
#

i think i only have the windows anti-virus

odd kraken
#

Try to restart OBS, and try to log out of OBS.Live using StreamElements > Log out and try to log in again.

charred lava
#

it fixed the white screen but my elgato isnt showing up

odd kraken
#

Is the elgato configured properly?

#

Also it somehow looks to me that your browser source properites may be wrong for the overlay you added.

undone shoal
#

Hey, ive connected my elgato with my ps4 and pc. And I can hear audio in my headset and my microphone picking up my voice is working, but for some reason the game audio from ps4 doesnt go through the elgato to the stream

charred lava
#

i dont know what you mean

wary dew
#

@undone shoal i think you have to set your audio output to HDMI on the ps4

odd kraken
#

@charred lava The overlay seems to be cut off at one side, which make me think the dimensions are wrong in the browser source. They should be 1920x1080.

#

Also have you started OBS as admin?

undone shoal
#

its already set to hdmi

wary dew
#

one sec, i am firing up my ps4

#

HDMI OUT and Linear PCM for audio on the ps4 side of things

undone shoal
#

yeah thats how I have iy

wary dew
#

turn HDCP off as well (just to be sure)

#

under SYSTEM

undone shoal
#

had that off too

wary dew
#

okay

undone shoal
#

So everything is working except ps4 audio going into elgato

wary dew
#

check the elgato capture software

#

must be something in there that is causing this probably

#

Elgato Sound Capture probably

undone shoal
#

where do I find that

wary dew
#

on your pc, and if you don't have that then you have to download the software from their website

undone shoal
#

Do I need to download it even though I am streaming through obs live?

wary dew
#

i think you have to set up some stuff in there in order for your things to work properly after that

#

i only opened it 3 times when i set everything up

#

but i'm hardly an expert 😛

#

if you keep having problems with it you can always ask here:

Alright, thanks

Hi all,

Is anyone experiencing audio crackling using .webm files as Stingers? The .webm file I'm using plays fine on VLC but on OBS.Live the audio has random crackling noises every time I change scene.

The scene I'm testing are very simple scenes and I'm not even using SE sources yet. The issue happens even transitioning to an empty scene.

Do you know if there is a way to fix it?

CPU: i7-6800K
RAM: 64GB
OBS.Live: 24.0.3 - Ran as an administrator
Stinger: .webm
Duration: 3s
Audio: Yes
Transition Point: 2800ms
Audio Monitoring: Monitor and Output
Audio fade style: Ive tried both "Crossfade" and "Fade out to transition point then fade in"

Many thanks

plain sonnet
#

that would be either audio peeking (too loud when saving)
or
your pc isnt keeping up rendering the stinger

vale hearth
#

Hi @plain sonnet

Thanks for your quick reply, the odd thing is the stinger audio is not always crackling in the same point. And sometimes it works fine, it's very random.

CPU sitting nicely at 12%, no spikes when using OBS.Live or when using the transition.

I'll ask the motion designer to confirm the audio is not clipping and let you know how it goes.

Cheers

undone shoal
#

@wary dew I had the elgato thing downloaded since before. When in obs trying to configure video nothing happens even though I click. I am guessing that it is in there where the issue is

plain sonnet
#

add the stats box (view > docks > stats) and change scenes a few times.

keep an eye on the frames info on the right side,
when the sound crackles you might see it there.

note that if you do see anything it will be very slight as that represents video frames, however as video is always the first to go, audio will follow it.
@vale hearth

wary dew
#

this is how it is on my pc

#

with that custom audio thing ticked

undone shoal
#

I have it the same way as you

wary dew
#

🤔

#

if you click on the cogwheel in the audio mixer and go to Advanced Audio Properties and take a screenshot there

vale hearth
#

Thanks @plain sonnet

I've gave it a try, played with the scenes a bit and this is the result, it all seems fine? Such an odd issue!

Was I suppose to be streaming or recording?

This playlist is loud and soft real high and low it's terrible on the speakers and i'm sure it would be ear rape as well in some cases and it's only an acoustic playlist from yt

Really awesome playlist totaly recomend it

#

Sounds great loud but it's quite loud at the same time on some tracks

#

Goes through the microphone and i don't usually wear headphones so tis needs that normalising in the audio controls

@rugged quail We're not able to troubleshoot issues with using our overlays in StreamLabs OBS (SLOBS) as we don't have the tools to support their software. We recommend using OBS Studio or OBS Studio with our plugin OBS.Live.

Did you create a twitch account for the bot or are you letting it masquerade as you?

If you tell the bot to be you does it work?

account for the bot

@kindred fox
I created a bot-only account

#

I’m not certain how to fix it

I think it may be some problem with streamelements itself because when I use groud control it works

I’m not sure

Are you running GC and obs live at the same time?

not

Has anyone else experienced an issue with their bot not acknowledging commands they type into chat? I've tried to use the song request command to add something to the queue and the bot gives no response.

#

Have you enabled the command and the in the songrequest the viewer requests?

plush mason
#

Yes. Viewers can use it, I just can't.

odd kraken
#

Have you set a points limit to the songrequest?

plush mason
#

I don't think so

odd kraken
#

Set the price for requesting a song in the media request settings and not in the command settings. Cause you do not have enough points I think and you do not get an error message cause it is set at the command and not in the songrequest module.

at the command !songrequest there is set a price of 1.
