@jade folio 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

jade folio
#

still confuse

wary dew
#

when you are finished working on your overlay, click save

#

then press the launch button

#

that will give you the overlay URL

#

then copy that and do what the bot said 😉

jade folio
#

thank you. is there a way to test them

wary dew
#

that whole list is tests

#

don't forget to hit the checkmark on the bottom to show them in OBS

#

if you have double sounds you can mute the overlay editor

#

then it will only play the sounds in OBS

jade folio
#

gotcha when i click test the words dont fit the box. any ideas?

wary dew
#

put the lines under eachother in the editor

#

with enter

#

and if it still doesn't fit you can edit the font size

jade folio
#

i love you

#

thank you haha

wary dew
#

or make the box (and the alert) bigger, but that takes up more space on your screen ofcourse

jade folio
#

it worked the first way. we are good to go

#

thank you

wary dew
jade folio
#

when someone donated sparks my alerts didnt show

shy mountain
#

Have you set a good minimum amount for the sparks?

jade folio
#

where is that at

shy mountain
near thistle
#

Why When I Click Stream Does It Start Streaming But Doesn't Show It Streaming On Twitch? I Am Using OBSlive

shy mountain
#

Posting in 2 different channels, doesn't change anything, besides helping us making it look cleaner sure.

#

Did you make sure your streamkey is properly placed in OBS?

near thistle
#

I Will Have A Look

#

Ah

#

Yes

#

I Was Streaming Youtube

#

Not Twitch

jade folio
#

@shy mountain still nothing

near thistle
#

And here is another problem...

#

I typed my password wrong now it won't let me try again it just says:

jade folio
#

@near thistle did you switch your stream key

near thistle
jade folio
#

there you go

#

do your security questions lol

near thistle
#

I Don't Have 2FA

jade folio
#

you have to

near thistle
#

Oh

#

Ok lol

#

Tahnks

jade folio
#

@shy mountain i cant get any sounds or alert box to pop up when i have minimum 0

near thistle
#

Thanks it worked!

shy mountain
#

@jade folio And you can tell your friend, that its a coicidence that my name sounds familiar to Shroud's family name 🙂

jade folio
#

haha i told him

#

@shy mountain someone just donated embers and that didnt work either so its something to do with all those

shy mountain
#

poking devs

#

when i have more info will poke you

jade folio
#

thank you, you can dm me if its easier

#

@shy mountain i also did the stream labels thing to add them on my overlay but they are not switching when i get a new follow

spring snow
#

so I've had this reoccurring issue with my obslive where randomly i guess my connection to the servers just end up turning to crap, dropped frames are high as hell and doesn't go away for a day or two if im lucky. i've troubleshot changing servers, directly connecting my lan avoiding the router. contacted my internet provider and had them reboot on that side. but some how can't get rid of this weird cause of my connection/frames to sky rocket constantly kinda losing my mind at this point

wary dew
#

did you check this?:

spring snow
#

@wary dew yeah sadly, like i said this happens randomly and not too often. kinda upsetting no troubleshooting helps and I have contacted my ISP already to come sunday to check the connection, funny thing is everything else works perfectly fine internet wise but somehow OBSLIVE just seems to have trouble

opaque prairie
#

how can I stream I said when I tried to livestream it said 'Oops Something Went Wong' in streamelemants obs

fathom cobalt
#

@opaque prairie in one channel, please

opaque prairie
#

ok'

#

sry

#

its on obs live

kindred fox
#

Are you using custom RTMP?

versed pagoda
#

any reason why my chat just gets cut off when someone posts?

kindred fox
#

Could you possibly provide a larger screenshot of the window you’re looking at? That’s not a very descriptive image

#

@versed pagoda

versed pagoda
#

@kindred fox it doesnt even pop up now

#

see someone typed nothing now

kindred fox
#

Okay. So in your overlay editor inside streamelements website, which overlay did you add chat to?

versed pagoda
#

but it popups on the website

kindred fox
#

Are you using local assets for your background images?

versed pagoda
#

ya

kindred fox
#

Screenshot your source list for the scene

versed pagoda
kindred fox
#

When you added the chat overlay, how did you add it and at what resolution did you add the browser source?

versed pagoda
steel bladeBOT
#

@versed pagoda To add your overlays to OBS, add a new browser source in your scene. Paste your overlay URL in the browser source properties, set the dimensions to 1920x1080 (unless you changed them on the website), and ☑ “Shutdown source when not visible” https://youtu.be/KDvLynUqXI4

versed pagoda
#

ok

kindred fox
#

try making the chat overlay 1920x1080 and see if it shows up

versed pagoda
#

should i make the dimentions on the chat box 1080P

#

still nothing idk

kindred fox
#

nope

crisp fog
#

So I'm having a problem with my captures in obs.live. I know what it is two but not how to fix it. You see I normally have a two monitor set up but am temporally on a single monitor. I figured out that even though I set the capture devices to use the one monitor they're still using the non-existent 2nd monitor to record/stream which only outputs a black screen.

versed pagoda
#

this is on the website

kindred fox
#

for the chat widget, or for the entire overlay?

versed pagoda
#

thats the chat source

kindred fox
#

because you want to add the overlay at the size of your screen (typically 1920 x 1080)

#

the widget will display as expected inside the overlay

daring zephyr
#

How do we add a stinger transition in obs live? Cannot find where to start

wary dew
daring zephyr
#

In OBS Live that is located where? That the part I cannot find. Once there it is all good

Click on View > Docks > Scene Transitions

sorry sir

random gale
#

yo, im trying to setup a recent donators scroller but it shows as static in obs even though it's scrolling in the overlay editor

wary dew
#

try turning off hardware acceleration for browser sources

random gale
#

Ayy, thank you SEheart

wary dew
random gale
#

is there any way I can make it so the donation amount is a different colour to the name?

wary dew
#

maybe in the text settings, but not sure about that

#

or maybe with custom CSS

#

if you know how to use that

random gale
#

need 5Head for that ppRun

wary dew
#

i understand 😛 same here

random gale
#

how would i do custom css

#

like where can i find the code

daring zephyr
#

@wary dew thank you very much.

wary dew
#

@random gale i see now that it's not in that widget so it's not possible

rugged quail
#

Hey everyone! Does OBSL have any compatibility issues with using an AMD CPU and an AMD motherboard?

wary dew
#

not as far as we know

#

there are plenty of people using those

rugged quail
#

oh okies because I know SLOBS had some people ask about an error they've been running into and they mentioned having AMD and they said get Intel or something but I don't remember the exact words lol

jade folio
#

My alerts do not go off on stream in OBS. I stream on mixer and have everything set up. My follows do but not sparks or embers or hosts

rugged quail
#

thanks Ruben nkoLove

wary dew
#

@jade folio it's a know issue, devs will look at it but it's the weekend

#

@rugged quail people telling them to just buy an intel don't know what they are talking about

#

it should work with both of the brands

#

i am going to switch to AMD myself next year

#

just better performance for your money

rugged quail
#

yeah the cost effective ness is good

#

it's just that I'm trying to make sure the streamer that I mod for is good to go and doesn't run into any problems during her return from her hiatus lol

#

thanks Ruben

wary dew
#

no problem 🙂

Context: I use Twitch & OBS
Issue: My fonts aren't updating on OBS (I use the Stream Elements OBS addon). If I choose a font on my overlay on the Stream Elements website, it just loads in as "Times New Roman" on my OBS overlay. On top of that, marquees aren't working (scrolling text) anymore.

steel bladeBOT
#

@lilac drum Google Fonts
More than 900 google fonts are supported at this time. You can preview them here: https://fonts.google.com/

Custom Fonts

Steps:

  1. Install the font on the streaming PC or choose a pre-installed windows font.
  2. In the overlay widget settings, select Text Settings
  3. Enable Custom Font
  4. Type the name of the font as it appears in the windows font directory (This is usually C:\Windows\Fonts)

Note: After installing fonts, the browser and OBS must be restarted for the font to appear.

lilac drum
#

Sorry it isn't a custom font

#

It's one that Stream Elements provides

#

I just chose it from the drop down menu, it should be a font everyone has (Impact)

#

In addion, text scrolling isn't showing up on my overlay in obs

wary dew
#

see if that helps

lilac drum
#

well the marquee is working now but the fonts are still times new roman

wary dew
#

are you sure you hit 'save' on the overlay?

#

just asking to make sure 😛

lilac drum
#

yes

wary dew
#

can you try to remove the browser source and add it again?

lilac drum
#

I did that first actually

wary dew
#

hmm okay

#

let me ask around

lilac drum
#

ill be ok for now

#

its just a font I guess, ill check back to see if you figured it out though :)

Hey there! Not quite sure how to properly ask questions here, but I was wondering if anyone had a solution to my problem:
Problem: Alerts aren't working in OBS and therefore aren't working in Twitch either. I've done some messing around with different alert settings and they will show up in the StreamElements editor, but don't pop up anywhere else. Does anyone have a solution?

wary dew
#

Did you hit the box on the Bottom to show the alerts on OBS?

#

In the overlay editor

shy flower
#

Perhaps not since I'm not quite sure exactly what you're referring to

wary dew
#

When you test the alerts with that lightblue test buttons...

#

In the Bottom there is a box you need to tick to show Them on OBS

shy flower
#

I now feel absolutely foolish for not seeing that before. You da best music

wary dew
#

No problem

shy flower

That's what we are here for

#

#art-marketplace you can talk to one of the artists there, or you could look at something from Nerd or Die / Visuals By Impulse

hidden cloak
#

Quick question, are you able to move widgets from one overlay to another? Like duplicate/copy/paste?

dry sphinx
#

Correct

steel bladeBOT
#

@hidden cloak To duplicate a layer on an overlay select the layer that you want to duplicate in the layers drawer (bottom left of the editor) and then select the duplicate button with the red asterisk right above the layers panel. You can duplicate a layer to the same overlay or to other overlays.

hidden cloak

Many thanks <3

This isn't exactly an OBSLive, but it's more of a StreamElements questions/ help

#

But uhm.. Im messing with the overlays and I put the chat widget on
And Im a bit confused on how it works 😅
I hit center widget and it takes it to the center of the StreamElements Editor
But it makes it not visible on my OBS Overlay

#

If someone could help me better understand this I'd greatly appreciate it 🥺

#

@wraith sparrow Try writing something in your chat.

wraith sparrow
#

See! I see it on the StreamElements side
But I don't see it in the OBS side because it's off screen

#

And Im not exactly sure where/ how to align it

#

Cause I hit center on the Widget and it took it over there

Hello! I just finished adding Media Request to my channel where viewers spend 1000 coins to play a song (50% off for subs). However, when I went to test it the cost spent ends up being way more than what I have it set to; any idea why that might be?

hidden cloak
#

Hey so on stream elements my fonts are all good but inside of OBS they're different

#

what could I do to fix this?

#

Fixxed, thanks ya'll

wary dew
little crane

oh hi, I have a question: I am using the latest Streamlabs OBS Live and the Media Request box always says "Take A Tour/Launch Media Request" and once I do it will undock and I have to redock it and then the next time I open Streamlabs OBS Live it will say the same thing and I will have to Launch it and then redock it. Ideas?

#

who can help me with my 10fps streamelemnts?

steel bladeBOT
#

@jaunty drift 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+)

hmmm

#

how

dry sphinx
jaunty drift
#

ik but how do i fix that?

dry sphinx
#

Sorry. At my day job.

jaunty drift
#

ok

dry sphinx
#

First what mic are you using?

jaunty drift
#

blue yeti

dry sphinx
#

Blue Yeti standard one right. Not the Nano or X?

jaunty drift
#

standard

dry sphinx
#

Is the USB Port in the Front or back of your tower? Also is it connected in a 2.0 USB Port or 3.0?

jaunty drift
#

back

#

and how do ik if its 2.0 or 3.0

dry sphinx
#

It should be labled on the back of your tower from your Mobo.

#

As there should be a label for 2.0 / 3.0

jaunty drift
#

umm

#

it doesnt show

dry sphinx
#

What Mother board are you using?

leaden fog
#

@jaunty drift does your usb Port have the colour blue around the connection point?

jaunty drift
#

ima see

#

my motherboard xps 8900 0XJ8C4

#

no it doesnt @leaden fog

leaden fog
#

then chances are its a 2.0

jaunty drift
#

alr

#

@dry sphinx

dry sphinx
#

I believe if I remember correctly that Blue Yeti has drivers to download? May have to redownload that & try again to see if it occurs.

jaunty drift
#

oh i never knew it had drivers

#

ima check

dry sphinx
#

I can't remember tbh. Been a long time as I've used a Blue Yeti for a long time.

jaunty drift
#

oh

kindred fox
#

The yeti drivers should be downloaded by Windows. It's also a USB 2.0 device unless they changed it recently. Did you change the sample rate of the yeti anywhere? or the sample rate for your audio anywhere?

jaunty drift
#

ye its already up to date and wym like the gain?

kindred fox
#

The audio sample rate

#

typically OBS defaults to 44.1K or 48K

jaunty drift
#

let me see bc i dont think i have touched that

#

its 44.1khz

kindred fox
#

in OBS?

jaunty drift
#

ye

kindred fox
#

Set it to 48K

jaunty drift
#

ok

#

question

#

is this good enough to stream on twitch at 720p, and if so what should I set my bitrate to?

#

please and thank you, @ me

plain sonnet
#

twitch cap for non partners is 6k
if you are partnered then you need to look at your contract (i think its 8k)

#

with your speed you can go max speed

Hello! Imported everything back into OBS.Live after having to reformat my PC. For some reason all the scenes don't fit the entire screen. What am I missing?

steel bladeBOT
#

@ancient hill 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

ancient hill
#

How do I do it in reverse though?

tulip hamlet
#

Pardon?

ancient hill
#

I saved my scene collection and profile from OBS.Live before having to reformat my PC. I re-imported them, but they are not fitting the whole screen. Then I went to the dashboard and realize they aren't even there anymore.

#

How can I put them back so they work properly without having to do the entire process over?

tulip hamlet
#

If you've imported your scene collection and profile then everything should fit as expected. What do you mean by "they aren't in the dashboard?"

ancient hill
#

Maybe I'm just blanking out and everything is normal...(I apologize it's been a day)...The main issue is that the scenes aren't fitting the entire screen. So do I have to reposition everything again?

tulip hamlet
#

Screenshot what you're referring to please.

What's your canvas size?

#

2560x1440

#

So set the canvas to 1920x1080.

#

Duh...changed it to 1920x1080 and it fixed it... ::slams hand into head::

#

Thanks for bearing with me man. I appreciate it and your time. Sorry for the simpleton question. Clearly I should go nap.

Hello yall ❤️

#

I'm having the absolute roughest time today and would appreciate a pointer in the right direction

#

the short and snippy is all i want ! is to record the audio coming from my laptop ! and it just isn't happening. I've traversed the whole internet in this endeavor but I must be skipping something important or in the dark abt an important detail 😭

#

I don't even want to stream I just want to record my dnd sessions for memories sake but it's really not happening

tulip hamlet
#

So check your settings in Settings>Audio and make sure it's listening to the right device.

Hello guys, i'm trying to update my OBS.Live but after the download i get this error
Can you please help me

wispy cargo
#

@tulip hamlet I'd appreciate if you could lead me through this. I'm sorry if I come off a bit inept! It's because I am, but I'm trying my best. From my understanding desktop audio should connect to where the sound is going (rn, my earbuds) and the aux should be connected to my mic, so that's how things are set

tulip hamlet

@tulip hamlet will i keep my settings if i installed from the site again?

balmy vine
#

Anyone know how to fix dropped frames from a particular game?

tulip hamlet
#

If some games are doing it but not others, then you need to adjust your game or OBS settings to account for your most graphically intensive game.

#

But if it's dropped frames due to network, then your game actually has nothing to do with it.

balmy vine
#

I stream fortnite and minecraft, for example, on higher settings than the game that is recieving dropped frames, world of tanks, which is on minimum settings. However, it immediately drops frames when I go live with the game

#

My network definitely isnt the problem

tulip hamlet
#

Not all games are created equal and some are more optimized than others.

balmy vine
#

Ok

#

So maybe I just cant stream the game

#

Because I have tried literally everything and nothing works

shadow ferry
#

Any simple way to record gameplay etc without capturing your overlays?

#

I saw an older vid where there was an add on and you had to jump through a few hoops. Would be nice if you could just tick or untick a box??

#

If you're not streaming while recording, sure, just hide your overlays.

Hello! I have a problem with NDI tools on stream elements OBS. I have NDI installed on my Streaming Laptop and My Gaming PC. But when I click on + to add NDI element in my obs (running on my streaming laptop) it just wouldn't show any option to do so.

shy mountain
#

Posting in a different channel won't help.

cloud dock
#

Gee thanks!

shy mountain
#

@cloud dock Its not like "its not my problem" - the issue is most likely on how you've installed the plugin, but since I don't have 2 PCs I can't really troubleshoot this with you and most if not all who provide support here, don't have 2 PC setups as well, so there is barely anyone who can help you on our Discord.

#

In short, we are not familiar with the NDI plugin, to be able to troubleshoot.

cloud dock
#

Well I found the solution:

If one is using StreamElements OBS on their streaming PC/Laptop. Then installing NDI tools on both Streaming PC and Gaming PC wouldn't work. There is a separate setup for NDI OBS which one can find on OBS's website. Simply open OBS website, Go to Forums, click on plugins then click on OBS studio plugins and scroll down till you see "obs-ndi - NewTek NDI integration into OBS studio". Click on it and then click download on top right corner. Then from the download page install "obs-ndi-windows-installer". This installer comes with NDI Runtime installer but just ot be safe download NDI Runtime Installer and install it before you download the obs-ndi software. Reboot the PC if it asks you to. Then install the obs-ndi. It will seem like it'll ask you to reinstall obs just click yes to everything and let it install. Reboot if it asks you to. Then launch the stream elements obs live. Under Tools in menu section you should be able to see "NDI Output settings." Click on it and click main capture. And then when you click + you'll be able to see the NDI source option.

mental meteor
#

can anyone please explain to me in laymans terms how to fix the few seconds of black screen when i alt tab out of a game. this is a new issue for me as i havent always had this problem

shy mountain
#

few seconds of black screen?

#

where?

mental meteor
#

obs

shy mountain
#

Thats..if the game is full screen and you alt tab away from it

#

OBS doesn't see the game as an active source, so it goes black

mental meteor
#

yes, in the obs and twitch preview, when i alt tab out of the game i get a few seconds of black screen until it finds the game again. i use display capture and full screen

#

it just started doing it like a month ago

shy mountain
#

This only happens when the game is in full screen mode. If you make it windows fullscreen or just windows, the black won't show.

#

If the game pops up again, then I don't see why it might be an issue thonking

mental meteor
#

is there any way to eliminate the black screen and maintain keeping the scene active during the alt tab whilst keeping current fullscreen settings?

shy mountain
#

If the game supports Windowed Fullscreen option, then yes

#

switch the game to that mode and you should be fine

mental meteor
#

i notice when i do alt tab and this happens that i lose a few frames due to render lag and thats when the screen goes black. is that a correlating issue?

shy mountain
#

render lag is related to overloading the GPU

mental meteor
#

but that couldnt be possible, only using 50% and its just an alt tab?

steel bladeBOT
#

@mental meteor 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.

Hey ya'll, I'm wondering if there's a way to get Red Dead 2 on PC to show up in StreamElements OBSLive. I have been using StreamLabs OBS but it seems to be very choppy post-encoder and I'm looking to give OBSLive a shot. I run both the game and OBSLive as admin, I have tried game AND window capture, and have switched the game's API from Vulkan to DX12 (which is what was required for the game to show on StreamLabs. I'm at a loss as to how to get this game to not just be a black box.

oh hi, I have a question: I am using the latest StreamElements OBS Live and the Media Request box always says "Take A Tour/Launch Media Request" and once I do it will undock and I have to redock it and then the next time I open StreamElements OBS Live it will say the same thing and I will have to Launch it and then redock it. Ideas?

shy mountain
#

there is a "skip tour" button

#

have you tried clicking on it?

errant epoch
#

Ive run into this issue as well. Im not really sure if there is a current solution :/

little crane
#

@shy mountain I have done that several times and it still happens

errant epoch
#

@shy mountain the issue is it reappears when you reopen no matter what :/

little crane
#

thanks @errant epoch for the confirmation. Glad it's not just me. It's annoying. 🙂

shy mountain

@errant epoch @little crane ⤴️

errant epoch
#

@shy mountain no change. Ive also reinstalled multiple times for other reasons so ree

little crane
#

just tried it. No joy. also, restarted StreamElements OBS Live and same

#

click on Take Tour as well...and it still is same

#

If it matters...I use Twitch to log in

errant epoch
#

Same

little crane
#

ok. I think I have it

#

This is what I did. I clicked on "Take a Tour"

#

Then added a video from YouTube.

#

Started it and clicked on the link halfway down the screen and chose "Leave Tour"

#

then docked the Media Request

#

Logged out and Logged Back in

#

Easy Peasy...hehe... 🙂

shy mountain
errant epoch
#

"easy peasy" yeah... yeah lets go with that

little crane
#

haha

errant epoch
#

I think i see why thats happening though. I think somethings wanting us to do the tutorial very very badly but then doesnt truly believe we did the tutorial

little crane
#

I don't know if all of those steps are necessary but it worked for me. How about you @errant epoch

errant epoch
#

the take a tour button doesnt even do anything different

shy mountain
#

what account are you logged into?

#

twitch or mixer?

errant epoch
#

twitch

shy mountain
#

Show me your OBS window.

errant epoch
#

As of me opening it or as of me clicking the tour button?

shy mountain
#

both?

errant epoch
#

alrighty

shy mountain
#

get the dock next to the AF dock

#

before clicking anything

#

wait you said that taking the tour didn't do anything thonking

#

as in, clicking the button didn't do anything

little crane
#

Yeah the take a tour button and the launch media request button takes you to the same place

errant epoch
#

i said it does the same thing as the other button

#

I worded it weirdly: Anything different

shy mountain
#

Im now completely confused as to what the issue is, besides that the tour is there after restarting OBS

#

@errant epoch want to do a TV session so that I can take a look?

errant epoch
#

sure lol

This isn't specific to OBS, but I'm not sure where else to post this. I'm having issues with the Store Redemptions widget in my overlay, each time an item is redeemed, the popup sticks on the screen and doesn't fade out. I need to reload the overlay as a workaround. Can anyone help? Thanks in advance.

its a known issue

reload the overlays and it will go away

Hi all, I am having issues with my audio, I can see that OBS is picking up desktop audio but as soon as I record or stream nothing comes out with I use my headphones. which is od

plain sonnet
#

check settings > audio that your desktop is on the correct device (restart obs when new device is selected)

check in advance audio that your desktop is not set to monitor only

twin raven
#

Hi Dream, done that too lol

plain sonnet
#

im just going to grab some lunch,
can you do a quick recording for a log file and paste the url here

steel bladeBOT
#

@twin raven 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+)

thank you ill try that

ive had issues with this before, let me try and find the steps to check

twin raven
#

thank you so much... Please go grab lunch first

kindred fox
#

Sample rate?

plain sonnet
#

44.1

kindred fox
#

for the scarlett?

#

if the scarlett sample rate in the Focusrite control panel doesn't match 44.1/48 it will freak out

#

I have an 18i20 that someone set it to 192k and couldn't figure out why they weren't getting any sound

twin raven
#

I do have the sample rate at 44.1

kindred fox
#

what is the buffer size inside the focusrite control panel?

twin raven
#

I dont think I have a control panel.. lol I will look for it

Hello, I'd ask about help for a problem of mine. I have the situation that when I'm streaming and I'm on my desktop everything's fine but when I tab into my game the window (in the stream) just gets quite small and the rest of the screen is dark. I'd like to ask how I can fix it.

kindest regards
Accurity

kindred fox
#

What resolution are you running the game at?

tough sail
#

lemme check and start the game

#

2560 x 1440

#

that's my resolution

kindred fox
#

for your monitor or for the game?

tough sail
#

the game

kindred fox
#

what resolution are you streaming at?

tough sail
#

basic resolution?

kindred fox
#

If you're streaming at 720p or 1080p then your game window is going to scale according to the scaled output and will not appear on stream the same as it does when you're playing

tough sail
#

so I have to switch in game settings to 1920 x 1080 as well?

#

because there is no option for 2560 x 1440 in obs

kindred fox
#

When you look in OBS Settings >> Video what is the Base (canvas) resolution set at?

tough sail
#

1920 x 1080

#

there are three options: 3840 x 2160, 1920 x 1080 and 1280 x 720

steel bladeBOT
kindred fox
#

You'll have to ask in the OBS discord for support regarding your ultra-wide monitor

#

typically 1440p should display as an option, but as yours is not displaying that you will want to ask the OBS Devs why it isn't showing up

tough sail

alrighty, thank you very much^^

So, I'm having an issue with one of my overlays

I've just added the Snow Widget

And for some reason, on OBS.live, the text is no longer scrolling

The text is still

Yet in the browser version of the overlay

It's hard to see, but you can see the text is scrolling

Is there any reason for this?

I've checked that the source of the browser is the right source.

Hello i have a custom widget but i dont see the text option to edit it to add custom font, how do i fix this?

errant epoch
#

gimme a sec

marble stirrup
#

okay

errant epoch
#

Can you send a screenshot of what you mean exactly?

#

@marble stirrup ^

marble stirrup
#

there is no option for text settings

wary dew
#

what widget is it?

marble stirrup
#

It's a custom widget someone else made and im tweaking

wary dew
#

i guess you'll have to ask the creator of the widget

#

or use something in CSS

errant epoch
#

Oh I use the alpha rotating feed

#

Gimme a sec

#

If you go into editor -> field is there any text in there

marble stirrup
#

yes

#

i have the fields under open editor minimized

#

its not in there

#

there is a font option but not set for custom font

errant epoch
#

that is because it only supports google fonts

#

what font do you want to use?

marble stirrup
#

Im trying to add it to csgo and make it blend in better

errant epoch
#

So, Dafont doesnt have an API system built into it, meaning you can't really use their fonts in a situation like this, unless anyone else is aware of how to add a downloaded font to the editor

wary dew
marble stirrup
#

I guess for now i will have to try to find a font CLOSE to csgo's font

errant epoch
#

yee. Google Fonts is very big. im sure you can find something

marble stirrup
#

annoying that custom fonts doesnt have the custom text field

#

sorry custom widget

#

doesnt have the text field

wary dew
#

that's on the creator of the widget

marble stirrup
#

is there a way for me to add it in?

wary dew
#

i don't know, i am not a code guru 😛

marble stirrup
#

haha

wary dew
marble stirrup
#

^

errant epoch
#

The way the fonts are added in is via APIs provided by companies like google. Google hosts the fonts on their servers in a way that allows websites like SE to access them and use them easily. DaFont does not do this, sadly.

marble stirrup
#

right

#

but if i add just text in an overlay i can set a custom font from my pc

errant epoch
#

I dont think streamelements supports custom fonts from downloads sadly

marble stirrup
#

it does tho

errant epoch
#

it does?

marble stirrup
#

im just missing the Text settings area

errant epoch
#

Hello I am new! I was referred to download streamelements and use to enhance my streaming on Twitch. I need some help at knowing what is needed first in order to begin. I play on PS4 console and will be using a MacBook Air.

#

I do have an Elgato game capture card I believe.

kindred fox
#

Well, the first thing to do is determine if your MacBook Air can even run OBS Studio

mighty sparrow
#

lmao

#

what version is it

#

@naive meadow

kindred fox
#

If it's a fairly newer one (last two or three years) should be fine

#

You should be fine with the external Elgato card as well as they're really good about supporting Macs

#

IIRC if you have an iphone you can connect it via USB as a webcam on a mac.... I haven't done it in a few years. I know that the elgato app on mac supports it

somewhat

@rustic sundial we are unable to assist you with StreamLabs OBS assistance. You can switch to OBS Studio with the OBS.Live plugin or you will need to ask in the StreamLabs discord as to why their software is not functioning correctly.

@rustic sundial 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

Hello, I just joined this community. I want to ask, why is my OBS when Display Capture only displays a Black Screen?

That’s streamlabs obs

#

Obs studio troubleshooting doesn’t apply directly to slobs due to streamlabs modifying the original obs source code for their own service. You’ll need to ask in the streamlabs discord about how their software works with capture

Apologies if this question is asked a lot, but is there any easy way to import overlays from SLOBS into Live? I tried exporting the overlay file from SLOBS and then importing that into Live via the scene collector but with no luck

shy mountain
#

Streamelements on top -> import from other services

#

that will import each scene from SLOBS

#

as an overlay

#

then simply:

steel bladeBOT
#

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

balmy mountain
#

Ah, that makes sense. I think I tried that a while ago and accidently imported all of my overlays a few times.... is there an easy way to mass delete all overlays?

unfortunately no

Ooof. Guess I have a lot of deleting to do!

A lot of the custom html/css isn't being transferred properly (like my follower goals and stuff), any idea as to why?

balmy mountain
#

Yeah

errant epoch
#

Where are you transferring from?

balmy mountain
#

SLOBS

errant epoch
#

premade overlay, or your own?

balmy mountain
#

Premade

#

I have the source files, so I could recreate the stream layout from that, and import it directly. But I'd like to avoid that if possible 😛

errant epoch
#

So those premade overlays dont generally transition well. Id help you convert it, but I'd need access to ur overlays. Probably just wait for a staff member to help cause they can already access

balmy mountain
#

Ah. Probably just worth me remaking them, huh?

#

For the amount of effort I'd assume would go into fixing it, it'll probably just be easier.

errant epoch
#

eh. May as well see if someones willing to help first

shy mountain
#

Or you can take a look at some other goal widget in #widget-share 😉

balmy mountain
#

It does appear to be the majority of my overlay that is faulty

When I try to edit my overlay in obs live, I get the editor window popping up, but it has an infinity loading circle.

kindred fox
#

what browser does it launch?

fathom cobalt
sweet birch
#

I have a ? I was using the regular alerts and added the special gift sub alerts but we couldnt' hear the alerts on my stream should i be checking the let obs control or not? not sure how i had it set before

#

or is the one over riding the other

#

cuz i put them both on

safe sluice
#

It doesn’t look like it launches a browser. It just pops open a window in obs with the editor options along the top, and below that is the spinning circle.

kindred fox
#

Check in your OBS Settings >> Advanced >> Scroll down and see if you have hardware acceleration enabled.....if you do, then disable it

#

@sweet birch your audio for alerts should play out your default audio device iirc

safe sluice
#

Ok, I’ll try that.

stone escarp
#

Hey! Is there a reason that alerts would be crashing my computer? Is there a way to fix this or is it a me thing

errant epoch
#

What do you mean crashing your computer @stone escarp

stone escarp
#

Well. Crashing my OBS to be more specific.

#

Any time someone cheers or subs, obs crashes

plain sonnet
#

A crash log is required to investigate the cause of your issue. Please upload the last crash log.

  1. In OBS, click the Help menu
  2. Select Crash Reports, and then Upload Last Crash Report
  3. Copy the URL, and paste it to the chat here.

@kindred fox Ty so much

plain sonnet
#

@stone escarp do you have alerts as a separate browser source or is it part of your overlay

stone escarp
#

It's a separate browser source

#

To be exact, I imported from SL to SE when I switched over. That is an overlay.

#

But it's a Browser source.

#

In my OBS

plain sonnet
#

libcef are browser source,

i would say remove all of the alert sources, restart obs then add them again.

if it still happens you might want to reinstall obs to see if theres some corrupt files,
your settings wont be deleted but you can back using:
scene collection > export
and
profile > export

stone escarp
#

Ok. Will try again. Thank you for this!!

it just loads it in the streamelements obs live when i should stream

what are you trying to do and what (where) is that picture?

knotty ermine
#

it is the properties of a mixer output source

plain sonnet
#

so if its an output then you wont be able to select a game or browser

knotty ermine
#

ooooooh i need input and then i can control the sound from those input?

#

input doesnt really help either

games and everything will be picked up on the desktop audio

Hi!

Is it possible to transfer/import my overlays from streamelements.com to the obs live app on my pc? Its for streaming om twitch.

New on streaming 😬

steel bladeBOT
#

@terse hearth 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

#

Is it possible to change the redemption store message for sound effects? I dont really want a reply for this, I just want people to use the !soundcommand and not get a reply

fathom cobalt
#

@hasty grotto this is not possible, sorry.

hasty grotto
#

Any other suggestion how it would be possible to just get sound effects without the replies in the chat? Or is it not possible in StreamElements at all

steel bladeBOT
#

@hasty grotto Check out the StreamElements ideas board: https://strms.net/ideas. You'll be able to add ideas, upvote ideas you agree with, and track their progress with email notifications. Adding and upvoting ideas also helps the staff know which ideas should be prioritized so please take some time to upvote.

fathom cobalt
#

@hasty grotto not possible at this time

hasty grotto
#

Seems a common thing for everyone, I might need to search for an other solution then in the meantime, which I don't really want because I like StreamElements so much hehe

#

Thanks for the quick reply though, have a good day 🙂

Hello I'm trying to get OBS live to work with Stream Deck, I have installed the OBS live plugin on the stream deck. My issue is the Record, Stream, Source, Scene & Mixer Audio buttons don't work.

It says The Elgato Remote Control plugin is missing. Please reinstall Stream Deck, then try again. I did a repair of the stream deck software but its still not working any ideas how to fix this?

tulip hamlet
#

Did you try a complete reinstall instead of just a repair?

safe sluice
#

I unchecked hardware acceleration, and I still get the spinning circle when I try to load the Overlay editor in obs live.

frigid wharf
#

@tulip hamlet I just tried the repair not a reinstall

#

Ill go try do a complete reinstall

frigid wharf
#

@tulip hamlet that worked, thank you

finite stratus
#

question.. streamlabs has a game overlay feature where I can see my chat over my game without looking at the other screen and its not reflected on stream itself? does obs.live or streamelements have this feature?

tulip hamlet
#

Not at this time, no.

finite stratus
#

okay cool.. you just saved me 2 hours from trying! thanks!

keen hornet
#

How would I make my follower count widget so all-time followers instead of just recent ones?

You would delete your Follower count widget and use a Total followers widget instead.

#

Yeah it doesnt report any, but 4 or 5 viewers said it froze and then it froze for me in obs

#

very strange honestly

tulip hamlet
#

Well, Twitch did just have a very bad hiccup if that helps.

pearl blade
#

mixer over here

tulip hamlet
#

Can you be more specific than "it froze?"

pearl blade
#

The video feed and audio in obs live literally froze, and it lasted about 4 or 5 seconds. Then it ended my stream. had to restart it

tulip hamlet

Looks like it just lost connection to Mixer.
pearl blade
#

and i watch my cpu usage go from 8% to like 26% randomly

#

hmm

#

also wish i didnt have to use ftl. seems to always drop with it

#

Would there be any known issues with connection to mixer? @tulip hamlet

tulip hamlet
#

Not that I've heard.

pearl blade
#

anything I should try or do?

#

(this is also my first day using SE on mixer)

kind thistle

Hey there, the SE links for my alerts stopped working suddenly. Any idea what could be the cause?

not loading in Chrome or OBS

still not working

@kind thistle do you hear sound in OBS?

glossy tapir
#

hai, trying to migrate from slobs today... and i was wondering how i could preview widgets?

shy mountain
#

and either launch the overlay or enter teh editor

glossy tapir
#

no i have been down the track for the past 2 hours

#

i have made the widgets, i have made my alerts

#

i just cant see my widgets in obslive

steel bladeBOT
#

@glossy tapir 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

glossy tapir
#

and i would like to

#

thank you mr bot, i have already done that, but please spam me some more

shy mountain
#

No need to be rude. This is support - we ask the obvious stuff and suggest the obvious stuff to make sure you've done it and then when that doesn't work, we move on to the next thing.

#

In OBS -> Settings -> advanced -> scroll down -> turn on hardware accel.

glossy tapir
shy mountain
#

then try and untick it

glossy tapir
#

no dice, unticked, reloaded obslive... ticked, reloaded obslive

#

i can test stream chat fine

#

well, everything else i cant

shy mountain
#

You want to test alerts?

#

or just can't see the overlay in obs?

glossy tapir
#

i can see the alerts and widgets in streamlabs editor

steel bladeBOT
glossy tapir
#

i cant see with of those, or test and see in obslive

#

i cant either*

shy mountain
#

I'm not sure what you've done wrong at this point if you can't see the alert popup in obs

glossy tapir
shy mountain
#

Do you hear double sound when testing the alerts?

glossy tapir
#

no

shy mountain
#

try this then

#

!obscookies

steel bladeBOT
#

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
#

without the last step

glossy tapir
#

no dice, but this is odd... i can see the widgets in the properties

shy mountain
#

is the browser source on top of all sources in the source list?

glossy tapir
#

selected move to top

#

no change

shy mountain
#

Do you have team viewer?

glossy tapir
#

no but can download, think i have something

#

obslive is using a different canvas size

shy mountain
#

is it not 1920x1080?

glossy tapir
shy mountain
#

If your canvas is not your native monitor resolution

#

then either increase the canvas OR click on the overlay browser source and then press CTRL + F

glossy tapir
shy mountain
#

that will fit the overlay

glossy tapir
#

ctr f fixed

#

whatever that does ;p

shy mountain
#

fits the overlay to the canvas

#

show me the entire properties of the browser source

glossy tapir
shy mountain
#

ok

#

well not sure what was wrong there - most likely the source in the canvas was made bigger then the canvas it self at some point

glossy tapir
#

the overlay is a new one

#

i tried to import from slobs but i couldnt make heads or tails of what came over

#

so i deleted it, and started overt

#

thank you for your persistence, i shall now return to the tutorials

shy mountain
#

👍

hi support. maybe i posted in the wrong section so i try here, i just added this awesome widget event rotator, but i cant seem to move the spacing between them, its like half of it all gets cut out when i try make the box smaller, any1 know how to fix this? thanks

steel bladeBOT
#

@trail ginkgo The default resolution for StreamElements overlays (theme and custom) is 1920x1080. Please add them in OBS at their full resolution and use CTRL+F to fit to screen if necessary. You can then downscale your stream in OBS settings > Video if you'd like https://i.imgur.com/6bWXxjR.png

maybe i dont see it, but i dont think that can fix my issue.

How do i get the captions to show on my stream when they are enabled?

kindred fox
#

What captions?

#

@ashen moth

ashen moth
#

for voice chat

kindred fox
#

Don’t use those

#

Dear god don’t use that

#

Use that

#

It’s an obs plug-in that actually works and it also enables the captions button directly on the twitch UI

ashen moth
#

I am on Mixer

#

but ill check this one out as this other one from what i am seeing does not work

#

ok so this works but how would I have it overlaying my stream?

#

@kindred fox

kindred fox
#

You don't have it overlay on your stream

ashen moth
#

ah so it wont work on Mixer?

kindred fox
#

That plug-in will not work on mixer

#

however

#

the webcaptioner section of that site will explain how to add captions on your stream

ashen moth
#

ok ill check that out thanks for the support

#

New to mixer

kindred fox
#

No problem!

#

Webcaptioner is really good, but make sure to clear your transcripts to make sure you don't run out of RAM

#

😉
