The follow should show up from now on.
none of my activities will update
I just followed you, which should show up in your Activity feed.
yes i got that one
hey everyone, i am using the OBS.live plugin with stream elements to make my alerts, but i cannot seem to make "recent follower, sub, dono and bits" to fit inside my custom overlay
You can add the widget to show these data to your overlay in the overlay editor.
would i have to make separate overlays? thats what i have been doing just for ease of movement and rearrangement
No, you should be able to add this to your current overlay.
when you added the overlay into obs did you put the size to 1920x1080?
that resolution will surely fit them, I'm guessing you didn't
oh i definitely did not, only because i was making a chat box/ alert box on streamelements overlay editor
so i just adjusted them to fit the size that i needed
also, is there a way to make the chat box in OBS live static dark mode?
every time i reopen the application, it resets to light mode
Have you set your chat color to dark in the browser, too?
yes, i use dark mode on twitch all of the time
I may be able to help
^ this guy may have a solution for your issue.
give me a few minutes as we have meetings and this will need my full attention to help you
alright i've attempted making the widgets, but they are currently just not on the preview at all. i changed the window size to 1920x1080 but no text shows up
and thank you!
Have you saved the overlay editor?
if your canvas is not 1920x1080 on obs, you'll need to adjust it, press control+f while having the browser source selected, or right click and look for fit to window or something similar
i got it all worked out, thanks for the help everyone! appreciate it
hi i'm using a laptop and i want to stream so i set up the stream settings but like the video capture doesn't show anything...so i checked if obs was running on thew integrated grapich card and it does.. what can i do??
@rustic sluice 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.
I ALREADY DID IT
@rustic sluice For the best OBS support, please join their Official Discord @ discord.gg/obsproject
Not sure if this is an OBSLive issue, but for some reason my chat widget doesnt load the subscriber emotes? It has a broken image with subscriber when I look at it on OBS, but it looks fine on the actual overlay editor:
Please try to refresh the browser source cache in the browser source properties at the bottom.
Im trying to add in a personal overlay to obs but every time i go to activate overlays under stream elements it takes me to the themes gallery so I from there go to My Overlays and click on launch overlay on the one that I want and it just opens a new tab in my window that doesnt do anything
@thorn root 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
@thorn root click the pencil icon on your overlay, the url is there
@odd kraken Already tried that
It looks like its only one icon
But Ive already tried making a new widget, same issue. Tried making a whole new overlay scene, same issue.
what happens when you open it in web browser
@fiery lava Webbrowser looks fine
So why would it work for you and not on mine?
If it was on Twitch's side, then wouldnt it fail to load for you?
@fiery lava yeah thats fine
Hello! How can I tell if the problem with my account not showing followers on activity feed and alerts has been solved? I've sent a message on the weekend.
It is solved but we cannot show missed follower alerts. New ones should show up.
i need help
Hi @sacred path, Please ask your question(s) or describe the problem you're looking to solve so staff or a support volunteer can assist you as soon as they are available.
my alerts wont show up
when someone follows it doesnt show up
and its hard to manage my alerts when it doesnt work
was it today?
been a week
did it work today?
nope
Do you see my follow in your activity feed?
thanks!
obs wont download to my mac
There is no OBS.Live version for Mac at this time.
whats best to use?
I would recommend OBS Studio: https://obsproject.com/download
how do you stream on mixer it keeps on showing youtube
You can stream on Mixer using OBS Studio, but there is no OBS.Live for Mixer at this time.
It's in active development and for now, not available to everyone. To get notified when our bot will be useable for all users on Mixer, keep an eye on #announcements and #270206314561404928 
@tulip hamlet I tweeted my problem yesterday. So if u i resume, when i stream sometimes my in-game audio has a delay of 1 second +-. I dont even change my settings, and another day or after a restart maybe it disapear. I play CS GO and i stream with OBS live. Here's the log with a stream witch had a delay.
@fiery lava even if i dont have desktop in my scene ?
if its not time stamp its on the twitch ingest server your connecting to
Merci beaucoup ! I'll test right now ! TY TY
So i added a Stream Elements themed overlay to my stream, just a basic non-animated one and now when I stream or record, i lose 15-20% frames from encoding lag. I streamed yesterday with no overlay, and perfect frames all day. It's the only thing I've changed
@flint smelt 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.
Here is an analysis of yoru log file with tips on how to improve: https://h4ndy.eu/obslog?url=https%3A%2F%2Fobsproject.com%2Flogs%2FoBISWE1qG99-iHIq
my OBS shot up to 6+
The encoder is skipping frames because of CPU overload. Read about https://obsproject.com/wiki/General-Performance-and-Encoding-Issues
Yeah I figured it out. Was my webcam
Question (Couldn't find a area for GroundControl). Has GroundControl had Bot Name removed?
Any work around or just wait for fix?
Asked a staff internally to fix the bug.
steeling all my clients again i see 😛
Ah thank you, thought I was going crazy.
Thank you for your help @wary dew and @odd kraken
any way to output videocapture audio without having desktop audio pick it up, i recently switch to live.
What source is the video capture exactly in OBS?
elgato game capture
The source should have its own audio line in OBS, so you can just mute the desktop audio and have the video capture device unmuted.
so i cant have say music on my pc and have my switch audio also?
Where is the music coming from?
i retract my question
okay, so i have a primary streaming computer that i input video and audio into. with an elgato capture card. but being i cant connect my headset to the nintendo switch is there any way to output and monitor without the desktop picking up audio, so i could play music on the streaming computer?
can i audio capture a certain window?

Hello, when i click to go live on mixer, it doesn't go live. I'm streaming though OBS.LIVE. I just streamed on Saturday changed nothing and now my stream isn't working I need major help thanks
It's been an hour and i have yet to resolve this
I regenerated my stream key, logged out and back in as well restarted my PC
Stood on one foot and patted my head.. i did it all 😦
There is no OBS.Live support by now for Mixer at this time.
Well, i just fixed it for future reference if someone have this issue you could suggest they change the server that OBS is streaming to. 🙂
Hey I need help fixing something. On stream elements stream store, why does it constantly stay stuck on screen saying "redeemed" when a person purchases something with points?
i tried deleting and readding it
The issue was already reported to our devs to look at it. For now you can hide and reenable the overlay to refresh it.
what's the best way to hide and reenable it?
The eye icon in your OBS sources.
ah okay thanks
is they anyway you can merge streamelements donations with streamlabs so my widget alerts pop up on stream?]
any donations made through streanelements doesent register
We can only show an alert when the donation was made through our tipping link.
@odd kraken he said he made the donation through my streamelements link, doing this does not show on streamlabs nor alerts on stream correct?
You would need to add our alertbox widget to an overlay as browser source to your OBS, to get the alerts.
Where can I find your alertbox widgets? Will it automatically sync with my Streamlabs alert overlay?
No, they will not sync for obvious reasons, as this are competitive services.
You can create an alertbox widget in the overlay editor > Widgets > AlertBox.
Ah okay, that makes sense. One more question tho.. anyways I can disable donations so my viewers can only donate through streamlabs so I can get the alerts on stream?
But still continue to use OBS Live as my streaming program?
You can disable the donation alert in the alertbox settings with StreamElements.
Disable "Add your Streamelements tipping Link to your Twitch Panels" ?
In the alertbox settings, disable the tip alert.
Why do you not want to use the StreamElements tipping services?
Copy the link below and paste it into your Tipping panel on your Twitch channel
where and how?
@dry mountain Twitch's official help guide for Panels: https://help.twitch.tv/customer/portal/articles/2416760-how-to-edit-info-panels
To copy the link, depending where you are, either click it or select the copy button.
@odd kraken well its not that I don't want to use it.. its unfortunate that any donations that go through streamelements doesen't go through my widgets and my alert box that are linked to streamlabs.. if that makes any sense.
We have a tool to import your overlays from StreamLabs to StreamElements, which may be useful.
I cant seem to find tipping panel, Im a noob
Follow what the bot posted aboout panels, to learn how to create a panel in twitch and then add your tipping link in the panels url field.
roger that
Hey y'all, I had the bot set up with the custom name/account working and going great, but the other day it switched back to the default streamelements bot. I've got a tipping page, I've got the streamelements bot as a moderator, and I have an active overlay running, but the options for setting the bot back up are still MIA from ground control, despite reinstalling and restarting. Any clues?
A staff needs to take a look at your account. I will forward your issue internally to a staff.
where is the alertbox settings?
In the Overlay Editor, when you select the alertbox Widget
Yes.
Theres nothing to disable for me?
Hello I just updated obs.live and after updating I keep getting this error.
I've updated my graphics card drivers but it didn't change anything.
@sharp kite reinstall obs 24.0.3
will it get rid of my settings? @fathom cobalt
Also do I need to uninsstall obs before redownloading?
how do I get party chat to work on OBS
Like when im streaming the audience can only hear me and not my teammates
i am currently having an issue where the streamelements plugin for OBS Studio is causing my obs studio to crash. Is there any fix to that?
What steps have you taken to verify that it's the OBS.Live plugin?
I sent my log to OBS and they suggested to me that it was the OBS.Live plugin based on what they saw in the log
what are you doing when it crashes?
Have you uninstalled OBS.Live and re-installed it?
i just uninstalled it
Are you also running it as Administrator?
i have it running as Administrator
is game capture not working for anybody else?
hello, good night my alerts are not heard in my OBS, everything else is fine
and they also started to fail since I didn't hear anything on google chrome
How to bring the chat up in the obs
I accidentally hit exit and the chat isnt there anymore
My kbs has been unsteady and drops and goes back up every other second which makes stream lag! Been doing this for a month and I can't really stream good with this constantly! My download speed is 800 and my upload speed is 20! I have ethernet, highest internet package! HELP!
@heavy island Run as a admin
@gusty cliff Make sure you have set the default device in OBS Audio settings and that Windows sound settings has the proper output device.
@stoic siren Streamelements on top -> chat
@devout basin 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 thank you very much bro it worked for me
👍
@old haven Please restart GroundControl, the custom bot name should be back there.
@winged nova Please restart GroundCOntrol, the custom bot name option should be back there.
Thank you.
window capture it?
or display capture and place Discord on which ever display you are capturing
I've tried that several time but doesnt seem to want to work
Since that won't work is there a way to record my entire screen on my 3rd monitor?
hey i can see myself from there 😛
You have just made my night 😂
Been trying to do this for weeks now and first 5 mins in this server its done 😂
this server is awesome 😉
So far so good


KeiZar, genuinely thank you.
Mine and my mates podcast has been on hold for the past few weeks due to this issue so i owe you a huge thanks for making the podcast come to life
As all the videos on youtube only show you how to capture audio not the actual app so now we can record the call (Webcams) for the podcast
hi my stream stutters even though i have no dropped frames
Please do not ask the same question in multiple channels thank you.
sorry about that i cant find a solution
I have asked internally on your issue, as I have no other idea left. Also you can wait for the OBS Community to respond to your issue.
ok sorry
woundering is someone can help on obs live the stream elements overlay editor wont load up it just come up as a spinning load and will not load up i have no way of editing my overlays
Try to use the dasboard: https://streamelements.com/dashboard/overlays
hi guys
hi
Would anyone be able to help me with an issue possibly?
I`m having a very hard time figuring out my issue 🙂
but what is the issue?
Basically my hotkeys for the media request tool completely stopped working...
I used to be able to stop/play the music and adjust volume up/down. It stopped working for some reason.
?
most of us are volunteers so we do other stuff too while giving support 😛 one moment please
Sorry if I came across rude or anything 🙂 my apologies
it's okay 😛
let me test hot keys
thanks @fiery lava
obslive version?
All others (switch screens, starting stream etc..) work.
19.10.24.511 pwrd by streamelements
when is last time you checked for an update?
I thought that could be an issue so I ran the check for updates but nothing happened so I assumed its the most up to date one
19.11.11.516
Might be a silly question but how do I update the software without losing my scenes and setups?
you keep all those
It seems that the check for update button is not responding
You`re awesome !
the official obslive page downloads my version 😦
Thank you, I`ll try it
So I installed it. The hotkeys completely dissapeared from settings now for the music
OMG. Where is that ? 😄
media request>more options>settings
I cannot see the more options button anywhere.
Expand the Media Request a bit.
It`s on full page, I have settings but there is no such option to choose
mine looks completely different from yours
screen shot?
This is the website, not the dock in OBS.Live.
the dock bringing this up for me though
@vast onyx Streamelements on top of OBS -> Logout -> login
I`ve logged out and in but still have the same
screen shot your dock for us
is there a plugin for the media request for obslive? It seems that I jsut have a browser source added in docks
also make you use obs>streamelements>media request
okay
And it`s magic
You guys are awesome!!! Thank you @fiery lava
Better get to streaming now, Im late. Im sure I wont be the only one who cant start until it`s perfect 🙂
yep happy streaming
Hi I need help uninstalling stream elements obs.live. It keeps aborting
make sure virus removal software has streamelements whitelisted or turned off
obslive version?
lets redownload latest version from website then try to uninstall https://streamelements.com/obslive
Are there Streamdeck buttons for Ground Control? I would like to have the Same buttons for Media Request, but it seems only OBS live has Streamdeck support.
Afaik only OBS.Live has SD support.
Do you have any mask for webcam? I don't want to have a rectangular webcam.
I am afraid all these webcam frames are all rectangular we have in our themes gallerie.
You can comission an artist on fiverr to create a cam frame for your needs: https://www.fiverr.com/stores/streamelements
Easily something simple.
well in the previes i see some 4:3 cam overlays as well so it could be good
which is more square
This does not look like a cam frame from our themes gallerie.
This is the mask that can be put into the obs on the webcam.
It looks like an image which is used as cam border. We have some overlays including cam frames, but they are all 16:9 or 4:3 format rectangled afaik.
And what do you think the webcam resolution of 4: 3 is better than 16: 9?
Often depends on what your webcam can achive as output. I would go with 16:9 if my webcam could do that.
hey can someone help me I'm using this app and I forgot where to go to make it dark mode my chat is bright white and burning my eyes so to speak
i must be dumb
i cant find where to change my alert sounds in my dashboard
anyone give a hand?
in the alertbox widget
https://streamelements.com/dashboard/overlays > big pencil in the overlay > in the layers in the lower left, select the layer with the alertbox.
if you have one, and if you don't have it yet you can add the alertbox widget from here:
oh that makes sense
thank you so much
sorry i kind of just set a random theme i found up and havent touched it in months
no problem, that's why we are here 😛
is there a certain audio file type
it has to be?
can it be a .mp3 or something for example
yup
makes sense.. i was looking at some guides on google and they were pointing to sites/tabs that dont exist anymore
Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.
sorry I had to step out for a second I'm trying to setup OBS live on my new computer my old computer looks like this
but my new computer looks like this and I can't figure out where a dark mode is
Settings > General > Theme
ah just in twitch itself
you make sneaky screenshot on top of obs
i thought it was the dock
go to your twitch channel settings
yes just a twitch chat is bright white I know there was just a toggle back when OBS live was first being done but cant find it
it's under Profile Accent Color
ty that worked
all right I have one more problem my info screen is showing my dashboard not the actual not title game I'm playing and tags it's just the regular dashboard like the web browser
Log out in Settings > Stream and log back in.
ok
I've tried logging off logging back in it restarting it's still loading the info screen straight to my dashboard
Can you share a screenshot of your OBS please.
Streamelements on top of OBS -> Logout -> login
okay I did that and now the info spot is not even showing up
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
- 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
so when im emulating
alerts
and it double plays sounds
does that happen live too
@cloud sequoia Make sure to ☑ “Shutdown source when not visible” for all browser sources (all OBS scenes). If using studio mode, uncheck “Swap Preview/Output scenes After Transitioning.” Also keep in mind that sound can play from any overlay loaded in the browser (editor or launched). https://i.imgur.com/FegZJQS.png https://i.imgur.com/yY0wcFl.png
uhg
i already have that configured mr bot i was just wondering since im simulating alerts in the widget thing
sometimes its double playing sounds even though i only uploaded the file once
is that just a bug in the widget simulator
Also keep in mind that sound can play from any overlay loaded in the browser (editor or launched).
very high chance
you can turn the sound from the dashboard off in the top right corner at the volume icon
got it.
figured all that out, have custom images and everything
now i just gotta figure out how to make a transparent chat appear on stream
is "custom" transparent?
yes.
ok so i am looking to change the colour of the video file in my alert overlay from green to red. what would be the best way to change the colour without affecting the file?
Video files can't be altered in the overlay editor.
damn guess i gotta edit the video file directly! 😦
How do i edit my custom command of my win to loss counter?
i accidentally added a win
You can use the !editcounter command to manually adjust a counter. Format is !editcounter countername #
Example: !editcounter wins 5
Note the name of the counter is not always the same as the name of the command. It's what's used in the counter variable, i.e. ${count countername}
All your custom commands are in your account on the site: https://streamelements.com/dashboard/bot-commands/custom-commands
i see !addwin !addloss and !resetscore
Look at what you put as the response, not the trigger.
if i have two camera borders of differing colour. can i set one alert to be one colour and another alert to be another colour?
hey there, has the issue between obs and obslive regarding the selection of controlling audio via obs?
What issue? OBS.Live is now fully functional with OBS Studio v24.
well last month when I was using obslive the feature where you can select 'control audio via obs' on web sources wouldn't show up
Can I get a log analysis? Still dropping frames due to encoding issues and can't figure out why.
obs told me that part is broken with obslivfe
any tips on the GPU aspect? I have a 2070 super and PUBG pegs my GPU. Does OBS need to run on a different GPU engine?
I cannot tell you anything more than the log.
okie doke
alright i'll reinstall it and see what I get
My custom bot name disappeared couple days ago and has not come back. Could someone help me with this? It's been working fine for quit some time. The settings don't even show it as an option anymore. Thanks!
Update Ground Control.
I just uninstalled and re-installed. Should be fully updated. No? Says I have 1.7.2 Also don't see an option anywhere to update it
Do you meet all the requirements for a custom bot name?
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
Yes I meet them all. I have had it for at least a year now and it just stopped working/ doesn't show up. Re-checked everything and nothing has changed
I think you are missing: StreamElements tipping page in the panels below the stream (!panels)
The link is not in a panel itself.
Needs to be by itself now?. Moving it and trying. It's been there forever.
Still nope. Restarted it after I moved it by itself.
What version of GroundControl are you running?
Also please try to make it a real panel with the link in the picture.
1.7.2 - That worked. Lol thanks. weird how it worked the other way all this time.
hello so out of no where my kb/s is shooting to 7 8000 and dropping to 28 3000 when its been working since the beginning of time at 6000 kb/s and suggestions?
@lean siren 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 am trying to stream pokemon onto my PC from an AverMedia Live Gamer Portable. The audio from OBS is playing twice on stream. It is catching the audio coming from the switch and playing it. Then it is capturing the audio from my headphone (with which, i am listening to the switch) and playing it again. Is there anyway to fix this?
@low niche For the best OBS support, please join their Official Discord @ discord.gg/obsproject
Hi all, sorry to ask something so silly, i want to create a pop up "sponsor" banner, that shows for like 5 seconds every 5 minutes or something, any idea how i can do this?
In the overlay widgets there is an asset rotator
which can be set to appear every X amount of minutes for Y amount of time
with just 1 image or multiple
i tried that, only showed one image static, but i must have done something wrong, thank you i shall look again!!!
thank you so much for your help, that was super fast
Hello there ! I need your help !
I'm trying to import a scene from Streamlabs into OBS using the "import from other services" tool, but I got this error everytime :
Thank you for your help !
The Scene importer will fail when:
- Any asset is above 10(or maybe it was 100mb)
- Any asset that is the default assets provided by SLOBS(Copy righted assets)
You can still check and see what has been imported, as each scene gets imported as an overlay here: https://streamelements.com/dashboard/overlays
Ok I'll check that (I have 8 assets)
Some times the importer can also fail due to some unknown source or unknown asset in the SLOBS scenes/sources
I have a scene here https://streamelements.com/dashboard/overlays
But how can I import into OBS ?
@rugged quail To add your overlays to OBS, add a new browser source in your scene. Paste your overlay URL in the browser source properties, set the dimensions to 1920x1080 (unless you changed them on the website), and ☑ “Shutdown source when not visible” https://youtu.be/KDvLynUqXI4
Every time I restart my computer and open OBS i need to redo my webcam settings, it seems to always reset back to default. is there a way to stop that form happening?
Is it only when you restart your PC?
my display capture is still black even tho i selected my intel gpu 😦
my whole desktop
Run OBS as admin, then remove the display capture and add it again
@shy mountain mu zoom from the cam resets everytime i restart the pc 😛 maybe related to that other question
following this thread
or press CTRL + F when you select the display source
what that do
@shy mountain As far as I am aware it is currently only when i either restart my pc yeah, it may have done it once randomly without restarting but i cant remember anymore lol
CLTR + F fits the source
@rugged quail For the best OBS support, please join their Official Discord @ discord.gg/obsproject
@rugged quail change the UBS port of the webcam
if that doesn't help, then maybe reinstall the webcam drivers
if that also doesn't help - then I'm not sure - maybe ask in the OBS discord (link above)
would you recommend setting it to one of the mobo USB ports that always have power?
yes

Is there a way to connect OBS to Youtube after connection it to twitch?
@minor lichen Streamelements on top of OBS -> Logout -> login
Hi, I'm having the same issue as some others a few days ago. Follower and Sub alerts haven't gone through while live or emulating through the overlay editor. Would appreciate some steps to try and fix. 
there was an update for this, will ask the admin
I checked obslive and it said it was up to date. I'm not sure sure where the source of the problem is.
should be fixed for you as of today update pushed
How many hours ago? I've been trying the last half hour.
let me look for you
Thank you.
It did, but the alert didn't
screen shot obs
restart obs first then screen shot the whole application
yep yep scared me
That's the idea
okay
Thanks!
I use StreamElements version of OBS. I've noticed when some streamers give shoutouts to other streamers, it pops up on the screen and even shows the pic of the streamer receiving the shoutout. Does anyone know how I could make this happen on my stream?
I have high CPU usage when my browser source is active wich makes me lose 5% of FPS and FPS drops ramps ub at around 20% when an alert comes up is this normal?
@brisk pewter 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.
for my previous psot ---- This is when nothing is happening just a blank overlay with nothing on it
Best to hand in an analysis of a stream.
how do i do that ? or what do you mean by that?
Follow the instructions the bot posted above.
oh but I had the overlay off because of my FPS loss I played a tournament so I didnt want andy drops
Then best to hand in a log with the overlay enabled after you have streamed the next time.
ok ill do that
where can we choose the timer before it loops? on the social widgets?
What social widgets are you referring to?
yes.
@odd kraken is that in what milliseconds?
yeah.
beautiful widget 
@odd kraken do you have any idea how i can copy All-In-One Goal Widget by thefyrewire
to my overlay?
@gloomy badger
Select the widget in your overlay and hit the two papers with the red dot above the layers tab.
it's also an option to do it straight from the start 😛
😩

for my previous psot ---- This is when nothing is happening just a blank overlay with nothing on it
what is that
problems 😛
This is a log file with tips on how to improve.
rule #1 always use OBS in admin mode
There is always a base cpu usage for overlays, as your OBS or your CPU/GPU has to render one more layer.
why not work on the orange alerts the log gives you?
how do i skip a donation on OBS.live on the activity feed?
old obs.live would have a skip button but i dont see it anymore
Should still be there.
Is there someone available to answer a question on uninstalling obs live?
@rain hollow 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.

how do i get party chat to work on obs so when im streaming people can hear my teammates.
I think you need to set up your console to send the audio through your HDMI.
im on pc though?
You are also streaming from your PC the gameplay?
is there a way to get a sound when a new chat msg is received? as in any chat msg.
I'm a new streamer and i usually see it way to late when someone said something.
Same with follows. i don't get a sound for that.
I run streamelements with preview disable for performance.
alerts aren't muted.
@rich gorge There is no tool for chat sound when there is a message from StreamElements.
yes im streaming the game play from my PC
aw 😦
everything is setup but whenever I stream you can hear anyone else in my party hahha
Then your whole desktop audio sould be captured by the desktop audio source if you are not using any audio routing tools.
So i should go to OBS settings and change my desktop audio to my monior ?
Where is the party chat you want to capture running?
in the game and sometimes on discord
Then with the default audio setup OBS should capture your game and discord as the desktop audio in your OBS.
i do believe that theres a problem with teamspeak being recorded tho. For some reason it's very quiet. Discord recording on desktop source is fine.
I have my desktop audio set to my yeti microphone

Hallo bekommt man auch auf deutsch Hilfe ??
@jagged terrace 🖱️ ➡️ #🇩🇪︱deutsch
hey:
so i was streaming earlier at 1000-1500 bitrate, and the stream was going totally fine, until all of a sudden, my stream dropped to 0 kb/s, and was outputting literally nothing to twitch at all, for a couple seconds. the result of this, is that obs just stopped streaming, and my stream died, i had to restart the whole thing. i am ASSUMING this is because im on wireless internet and i am just briefly losing my wifi connection, long enough to have the stream die. if i had an ethernet cable (which i am getting soon) it would fix the problem i'd assume, since i can stream at 60 fps normally with no problems at all.
my question is, how likely is it that me disconnecting from wifi is the problem here, and how likely is it that there is something else at play?
@dapper dragon 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.
yeah i figured. super frustrating because i dont have an ethernet port until i get my new pc built later this month, so i cant even fix this problem until a few weeks from now
thanks
how do i add alerts
@silk carbon 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
so I have two problems... my overlay alerts are not running in stream as of last night... they worked Sunday but in the intermission they stopped working. I fiddled around in OBS.Live and the test screen for the overlays and sometimes they would work but mostly they wouldn't. The second issue is that I mis-clicked or something and my OBS.Live chat window has changed to show all of twitch like it is on Twitch.tv instead of whatever it should be on for the chat window to function.
Hello
I have a problem putting overlays in my OBS.Live
I tried all methods and it didnt worked
Help
@prisma zodiac Do you have an example of an alert that didn't work?
cheer, bits, sub, follow, raid, host... none of them have seemed to pop up in live or in OBS studio.live
In what or what? There's OBS Studio and the plugin we made for it, OBS.Live.
obs.live
OBS.Live is a plugin, it doesn't handle your alerts
And they seem to be working fine.
@exotic horizon what exactly is happening after you add your overlay?
Do you have any widgets displayed in your overlay or only an alert box?
Any graphics?
so then what about the chat panel in .live? @tulip hamlet
Log out and log back in with the StreamElements menu at the top.
@kindred fox it is a static overlay and nothing else
One of the templates from the overlay gallery?
@kindred fox Yes
relogging brings me to the same situation... the chat window is showing all of twitch... not my twitch chat
Okay. So if you open the overlay in the editor, you clicked the little link icon that appears which says “copied to clipboard” or whatever and then pasted that URL as a browser source into OBS at 1920 x 1080 60fps?
Yeah
Ok inside obs click settings >> advanced >> scroll down and disable browser hardware acceleration
Then go into the properties of your browser source and refresh cache of current source
@prisma zodiac Please keep all correspondence in the public channels. Thank you.
Take a screenshot of where you logged out, please.
Yay
Thank you so much
Your OBS is outdated, to start with.
cant be helped.... the current version crashes when trying to open
You're using a version of OBS from back in April and a version of OBS.Live from 2018.
i was told to do so by someone from this discord due to the crashing issue.
KeiZar and Sean both helped me back then.
You were probably crashing due to having Browser Source Hardware Acceleration enabled.
Disable it in Settings>Advanced and try updating again.
Did it generate a crash log? And did you update OBS.Live first or OBS Studio first?
Generated a crash log for when OBS.Live crashed and Studio when I tried to open it by itself. I just used the update option in OBS.Live to update the software.
Will do, remember I cannot generate the URL's from the program due to not being able to open.
OBS.Live since it updates both Studio and itself.
Or I at least thought that it does.
It does not, as far as I am aware.
Odd, there is a checkbox for Studio. I'll DL Studio and install.
The installer downloaded from the site comes packaged with a version of OBS Studio. The update option from within the StreamElements menu in OBS will only update OBS.Live.
Please provide the crash log.
OBS.Live crash
Can you provide the log file as well?
Hello! I was wondering if I could have some assistance with some audio issues. The audio is perfectly fine, its just that my desktop audio is always louder than my microphones
Any help would be greatly appreciated
@royal creek For the best OBS support, please join their Official Discord @ discord.gg/obsproject
@prisma zodiac Do you have any other OBS plugins installed?
That I'm aware of, no.
I have set the mic audio to 5.0 db. I have also set the desktop audio to -5.5 db. Will this work or..?
is it better to use a static IP address or is it not relevant?
Irrelevant
@tulip hamlet Any ideas?
how can i get facebook to have its chat on obs?
like twitch
i dont see a button like twitch has its bs it gets all the attention
The developers at obs prolly think Twitch is the only streaming service lol
i figured it out
i had to sign out of streameleents and log into facebook i figured since i was already logged in to obs .live it would carry over since my facebook is linked
@prisma zodiac Try deleting %appdata%\obs-studio\plugin_config\obs-browser\obs_profile_cookies
There's no profile cookies that I can see
not there... and I didn't delete anything.
That's... interesting.
Also you might want to delete that image, you're doxxing yourself.
I'd say more frustrating than interesting. But I have a different perspective on it.
I asked because this appears to be where your log is failing: 19:51:29.119: obs-browser: StreamElementsDecryptCefCookiesFile: 'C:\Users\psysh\AppData\Roaming\obs-studio\plugin_config\obs-browser\/Cookies': unable to open database file
It can't load cookies.
since they aren't there to begin with
Usually deleting the folder will generate a new one.
Yeah, give that a try.
any folders to delete or modify before I restart the pc?
Maybe make sure the obs studio folder in Roaming is completely deleted since you're doing a clean install?
so reinstalled.... haven't started the program yet.... the folder in appdata is fairly barebones
and it crashed
I'm a bit curious. Can you go to C:\Program Files (x86)\obs-studio\obs-plugins\64bit and send me your libcef.dll file?

lemme try something
im doing a full redo again... there was two obs folders in C drive
going to uninstall, delete all related folders, restart and reinstall
then ill send the dll
Hopefully once you actually find it you won't have to 😂
...... not holding my breathe
anyone know why i have signal on my obs but not tv??
And do you actually have a libcef file this time?
@golden lodge What do you mean, on your TV?
yeah tv has no signal but on my computer obs shows signal
Can you be a little bit more descriptive than that?
i can only see my game on obs not my tv
Why would you see it on your TV?
Are you referring to a console? Are you using a capture card?
Details.
yeah using elgato
how should i send the libcef... its 109mb
What date was it modified?
10/24/19
that's why i was on the older version
@golden lodge Is it plugged into both your TV and your Elgato?
so i went back to the older version.... and the chat bar is still showing twitch like on a browser or the twitch app, instead of showing the actual chat
@prisma zodiac when you did your uninstall, what extra folders did you check for obs-related files?
the only extra option was user settings
Did you check %program data% for obs folders alongside %appdata%?
And remove any/all traces?
yes
Hmmm
Can you do a tl'dr' of your issue? @prisma zodiac
latest versions crash on my system
Like crash on launch?
yes
the chat dock is fixed easily by simply clicking on "streamelements" on top -> logout -> login
will not open

idk how you have an older version of obs.live, but i would recommend not using it, as i'm not sure how old it is
but here are things to try
Then in obs studio -> scene collection on top -> export -> save the exported file somewhere i guess where its easy to find later on
delete all scenes or just browser sources
install obs.live and see if it crashes - if it doesn't
- either import the scene collection
- or start adding all browser sources one by one to see which one crashes obs.live```
what login ?
KeiZar, you Sean and another are the ones who told me to use the older version
and a reason why we do not provide older versions of OBS.Live
as for the why... I don't know... all I do know is that as soon as I try to add a browser source in the new version it will crash the program
The missing "logout" button is the reason we do not provide older versions of OBS.Live
cyberpower
I will post this and hope that it is done with the latest obs studio version:
Then in obs studio -> scene collection on top -> export -> save the exported file somewhere i guess where its easy to find later on
delete all scenes or just browser sources
install obs.live and see if it crashes - if it doesn't
- either import the scene collection
- or start adding all browser sources one by one to see which one crashes obs.live```
^^^^ do this because keiZar is the man
oh I wont even be able to load the browser source.... when I open Browser source option it will crash after a few seconds
You should definitely go to the OBS discord and ask for the helps
Ok
what part of the instructions are not clear?
- Remove OBS.Live
- Make sure yoyu are on 24.0.2
The right part
- open OBS Studio
Does it crash without obs.live?
if NO, then please proceed with the scene collection export
removal of ALL browser sources and then installation of obs.live
and see if that crashes OBS
I have 24.0.3 installer instead of 24.0.2.... that an issue?
latest obs studio is totally fine
making sure
i forgot obs studio is 24.0.3 so yes that version
so I have uninstalled everything, reboot, and removed all pertaining folders in appdata and programs
Ok, so is Studio crashing?
so studio with out live opened... exported scenes though dont think there was anything to really export since i removed all attached folders. closed studios and installed live, when I tried to open Live the OBS crash pop up appeared
So basically, there are no scenes and no sources in obs at all?
clean install with no files left from previous versions
with live uninstalled this is as far as i can get in studios
just a second or so after I select browser source that occurs
wait so even obs studio crashes when you open the browser source? 
yup
Ok, so best thing to do at this point and highly recommend to not install obs.live
am I wasting your time and should go to OBS instead?
is to ask the OBS guys at their discord here: https://discord.gg/obsproject
no you are not wasting my time
but this is beyond me at this point
i might have been silent between questions, because i'm trying to understand and think of stuff to try
well its not a challanenge, when at this point its not related to our plugin for OBS Studio
and an issue I don't even remotely understand
right?
won't/can't argue
Does anyone know how to enable expand and minimize for the tool? It seems like I can't drag to expand anymore.
Unlock your docks in OBS, to move it freely.
Im gonna restart my Pc, its doing some really weird thing, like crashing whenever I open OBS
new to streamelements but where can I find concurrent viewer count? I like to greet people when they stop by.
If you are using OBS.Live -> on the activity feed dock -> 3 horizontal lines on the top left -> stream settings -> viewer count toggle
Do note that there is an unwritten rule to not call out lurkers. If you do, you risk loosing the majority of your current viewers
Its no use, I can't move the docks like you do in the video @shy mountain
I must have clicked on something
I can just drag them
View -> docks -> untick the "lock ui" element
The UI isnt locked
then show me how the docks are positioned
and you are trying to go this way?
I can't
or this way
do you have team veiwer?
Ok - when ready, DM me the ID and password
Hello, I just started using OBS.live and when I put the link of a scene nothing shows. Whats going on there
@red patio 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
Doesnt work ..
What type of overlay are you trying to add?
A starting soon overlay?
and custom
OBS -> settings -> advanced -> scroll down -> enable/disable hardware accel.
I must do something wrong because its not working. I tried disabling it, then enabling again, none worked
Anyway, ill figure it out, or not, sorry to bother
can we do a giveway without using the loyalty system?
Yes, set ticket cost to 0.
Hello everybody . Im setting under my "Text settings" for my Text to "Scroll Left" but its just frozen on the Live screen. anyhing extra I need to set up properly ?
Please try to refresh the cache of the browser source at the bottom of the browser source properties in OBS.
@odd kraken Nice ! it worked. Thank you so much.
obs live wont uninstall, it's been stuck for a while, i even restarted my pc 2x
Do you have OBS Studio uninstalled?
no, do I need to uninstall that too ?
obs was using 40% of my cpu today, my stream would not stop lagging
ahh, no, it's still there
Are you getting an error when uninstalling obs.live?
no, nothing, it's just stuck at 85ish %
and if you start OBS Studio right now, do you see "Streamelements" on the top menu?
let me check
no it's not showing there
just normal obs, no option to login , that's gone
When you started OBS just now, did you get a prompt to update obs.live?
says no updates are currently available
Well the premise of my questions is
if you uninstalled, restarted and start OBS
if any hooks are left from obs.live
it would open a window to ask you to update obs.live
since that is not happening then its gone
ill uninstall reg obs and see
i use obslive all the time, the only reason i attempted to uninstall to day was to reinstall it since my cpu was running high while streaming this morning
never had this issue before
There are a bunch of things we can check
hardware accel, log file
what settings you are using
windows update can heck you up without you knowing
just to name a few
i just do the auto wizard and stream
Oo
okay no it's gone, i just uninstalled reg obs and was able to uninstall obslive, going to reinstall and see
Hi guys, I just wanted to know if this is normal, I have an upload speed of 87 Mbps, but my OBS says that my streaming can only go up to 720p 60 fps and a 4k bitrate, I need some help with this please as I want to stream in a better resolution and also on a better bitrate if this is possible, will appreciate your help a lot 😀
@sly violet Please provide a log from your last stream. To do this, in OBS go to Help > Log Files > Upload Last Log File and paste the link to the log file here.
There is no output session in this lgo file. Please provide a log with a stream.
To make a clean log file, please follow these steps:
- Restart OBS.
- 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.
- Stop your stream/recording.
- Select Help > Log Files > Upload Current Log File. Send that link via this troubleshooting tool or whichever support chat you are using.
ok, give some minutes 🙂
hope this works @odd kraken https://obsproject.com/logs/AFF383fd_TzB57N2
let me check for an stream I did a few weeks ago, for the log
don't have the log for that :/
if you want to set your bitrate higher, do so in settings > output
set it to 70 - 85% of your total upload speed
if you are the only one using the network when streaming then there will be less stress on the bandwidth
so it isn't crazy if I put for example 60 Mbps?
you would need to check the limits of whatever platform you stream to, some have upload caps
ohh let me check
6000 for Twitch
do you know for facebook?
1280x720, 30FPS, 4000Kbps
I have some facebook partnership so I can go up to 1080p, but I suppose the bitrate limit doesn't increase then, that si so bad lol
*is
also 60 fps
Not sure about partners tbh
I find this
but in obs if I try to max the limit from 4000 Kb it gives me this advice
should I max the bitrate anyway?
nvm I did it and it worked, thanks for your help guys
For the stream starting, Screen hidden and stream ending do i have to make/download them myself or is there some preset ones?
@rugged light 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
If i want the stream tips and follows and subscribers to show on all scenes do i have to add them to all of the scenes?
If you have an alertbox in the active overlay, then the alert should show up.
The Super Themes have an alertbox on every scene.
so its automatic on all overlays already or?
yes, if you chose a super theme.
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
In OBS > View > Docks > Stream Information
or in the burger menu in the activity feed > Settings
Do i have to be live to change them because i can't see either one
No, you should not need to be live, are the alerts also not coming up in the overlay editor when emulating?
The alerts are fine but can't find it here and on the website either
@rugged light 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
- 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
Do i delete the folder or stuff inside of it?
The elements inside of it.
Not working as not showing latest events, or not showing events at all?
Can you share a screeshot?
Does your activity feed widget on the website show the same?
yeah
last time you streamed?
yesterday
says same on web site
before it always said such and such followed like 3 days ago 20 days ago or what ever
I had the bot spam last month or so i think it was
yep older than 30 days let me follow you see if it shows up
name is same as discord
yeah im in your account testing now
that worked
thanks man
made sure to turn all your filters back on as well it was on hosts only
side note about hosts
getting new hardware and that, so setting up streamelements before i reformat
@languid wasp 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.
well your good to go
yeah everything is on
but thank you for getting rid of a long user name
I cant get rid of them follower bot spam that happend
but think thats a twitch side
but thanks with help before 🙂
hi 🙂 i have a problem with my alerts can someone help me?
Can you elaborate?
i cant see my alert in my streamelementsobs
When you replay an alert from your activity feed, does this one show up?
In the overlay is an alertbox correct?
yeah

Please add the overlay as described by the bot above.
screen shot your obs
lets check hardware acceleration | obs > settings>advanced>scroll down > check hardware acceleration
its activated also
God Mode-----
Is there any way to put a custom stream transition? I can't seem to locate any settings that allow me to do such
go to transition, click the plus, add a stinger, then click browser to find it on your pc
That worked thank you!
np
obslive keeps crashing after just a couple of minutes of streaming. The crash log say -- Failed to recreate D3D11: Failed to create input layout (80070057). Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Could you post the crash log here please?

Hello I am having an issue where my alerts are not working. My stream was raided and it showed on OBS live on my activity feed. But the alerts are not showing up in my overlays
@remote fractal 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.
The streamer that hosted me came with 5 viewers
OK I'll try that. Whatever you did it's working now.
Just replayed the events.
Is there a way to reset oba view to default?
