still confuse
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 😉
thank you. is there a way to test them
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
put the lines under eachother in the editor
with enter
and if it still doesn't fit you can edit the font size
or make the box (and the alert) bigger, but that takes up more space on your screen ofcourse

when someone donated sparks my alerts didnt show
Have you set a good minimum amount for the sparks?
where is that at
Why When I Click Stream Does It Start Streaming But Doesn't Show It Streaming On Twitch? I Am Using OBSlive
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?
@shy mountain still nothing
And here is another problem...
I typed my password wrong now it won't let me try again it just says:
@near thistle did you switch your stream key
I Don't Have 2FA
you have to
@shy mountain i cant get any sounds or alert box to pop up when i have minimum 0
Thanks it worked!
@jade folio And you can tell your friend, that its a coicidence that my name sounds familiar to Shroud's family name 🙂
haha i told him
@shy mountain someone just donated embers and that didnt work either so its something to do with all those
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
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
did you check this?:
This guide contains every piece of dropped frames / disconnect / network related advice we can give. If you really truly honestly super duper actually 100% tried everything in…
@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
how can I stream I said when I tried to livestream it said 'Oops Something Went Wong' in streamelemants obs
@opaque prairie in one channel, please
Are you using custom RTMP?
Could you possibly provide a larger screenshot of the window you’re looking at? That’s not a very descriptive image
@versed pagoda
Okay. So in your overlay editor inside streamelements website, which overlay did you add chat to?
Are you using local assets for your background images?
ya
Screenshot your source list for the scene
When you added the chat overlay, how did you add it and at what resolution did you add the browser source?
its 1080p on the website
@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
ok
try making the chat overlay 1920x1080 and see if it shows up
nope
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.
for the chat widget, or for the entire overlay?
thats the chat source
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
How do we add a stinger transition in obs live? Cannot find where to start
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
kappagen gifs not working today?
please keep your questions in one channel
sorry sir
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
Ayy, thank you 

is there any way I can make it so the donation amount is a different colour to the name?
maybe in the text settings, but not sure about that
or maybe with custom CSS
if you know how to use that
need
for that 
@wary dew thank you very much.
@random gale i see now that it's not in that widget so it's not possible

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

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.
@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:
- Install the font on the streaming PC or choose a pre-installed windows font.
- In the overlay widget settings, select Text Settings
- Enable Custom Font
- 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.
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
well the marquee is working now but the fonts are still times new roman
yes
can you try to remove the browser source and add it again?
I did that first actually
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?
Perhaps not since I'm not quite sure exactly what you're referring to
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
I now feel absolutely foolish for not seeing that before. You da best music

That's what we are here for
Obs live is not letting me go back to streaming on twitch it keeps bringing mixer back up when i hit go live even after connecting my twitch account back up. Havent had this issue with any other platform
Logout of StreamElements and log back in
What is the question?
Hi RubenSaurus, so i just found out how to use scene transition, but i dont have a nice transition file to use, im lookin for a flaming/fire animation 1 very simple 1, do u know where i can find that? and is ther a share section with that on this discord ? 🙂
#art-marketplace you can talk to one of the artists there, or you could look at something from Nerd or Die / Visuals By Impulse
Quick question, are you able to move widgets from one overlay to another? Like duplicate/copy/paste?
Correct
@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.
Many thanks <3

Hi all. is there anyway i can find out why my obs has started using 40+%cpu
Was fine when closed down last night using around 5%
Ahh no one available
ill just uninstall and start again then
fixed it

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.
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
@wraith sparrow To add your overlays to OBS, add a new browser source in your scene. Paste your overlay URL in the browser source properties, set the dimensions to 1920x1080 (unless you changed them on the website), and ☑ “Shutdown source when not visible” https://youtu.be/KDvLynUqXI4
But I have it as a Overlay in OBS ;-;
Its just "out of bounds" I guess
Yessir give me one second
Okay so here's my OBS Overlay
And here is my StreamElements Editor
Resolution
Width: 1920
Height: 1080
Fixed?
Yessir!
I see it now from it being center 
Thank you so much!
I greatly appreciate your help!
No problem 
anyword on the alerts not working
so its not working with SLOBS either. so idk if that helps figure it out at all or narrow downt he issue
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.
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?
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

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?
You mean StreamElements, I assume
Hi, how can I record my discord chat channel in OBS
You can add it as a window capture
@north galleon For the best OBS support, please join their Official Discord @ discord.gg/obsproject
who can help me with my 10fps streamelemnts?
@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+)
ik but how do i fix that?
Sorry. At my day job.
ok
First what mic are you using?
blue yeti
Blue Yeti standard one right. Not the Nano or X?
standard
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?
It should be labled on the back of your tower from your Mobo.
As there should be a label for 2.0 / 3.0
What Mother board are you using?
@jaunty drift does your usb Port have the colour blue around the connection point?
then chances are its a 2.0
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.
I can't remember tbh. Been a long time as I've used a Blue Yeti for a long time.
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?
ye its already up to date and wym like the gain?
in OBS?
ye
Set it to 48K
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
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
Was the media request widget removed from OBS live?
aha, that's what it is. Thank you for the response!
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?
@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
How do I do it in reverse though?
Pardon?
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?
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?"
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?
Screenshot what you're referring to please.
All my scenes ended up like this after reimporting them
What's your canvas size?
Dumb question...how do I find out? Sorry I've been at this since yesterday with everything and I'm fried.
Settings>Video
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.
@tulip hamlet really....thank you very much 🙏
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
So check your settings in Settings>Audio and make sure it's listening to the right device.
imhere but im getting dragged away i'll be back in JUST a second
tysm for a response
oh boy 🍀 goodluck cengizhan
hahaha 😄
im sorry to go back to my thing! i really wanna help but idk how 😭
i hope it resolves itself soon
Hello guys, i'm trying to update my OBS.Live but after the download i get this error
Can you please help me
@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
@spare karma You can download directly from streamelements.com/obslive
@tulip hamlet will i keep my settings if i installed from the site again?
It should, yes.
i'll try it, Thanks for your help!
@compact dock 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.
Please follow the instructions and provide a URL, not a file.
This is not a log from a stream.

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.

Anyone know how to fix dropped frames from a particular game?
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.
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
Not all games are created equal and some are more optimized than others.
Ok
So maybe I just cant stream the game
Because I have tried literally everything and nothing works
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.
Posting in a different channel won't help.
Gee thanks!
@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.
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.
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
obs
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
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
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 
is there any way to eliminate the black screen and maintain keeping the scene active during the alt tab whilst keeping current fullscreen settings?
If the game supports Windowed Fullscreen option, then yes
switch the game to that mode and you should be fine
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?
render lag is related to overloading the GPU
but that couldnt be possible, only using 50% and its just an alt tab?
@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.
Wait did I link you the wrong Discord link?
force of habit 
discord.gg/obsproject is what i meant to give you @prime frigate i'm very sorry
its pure force of habit providing our discord link
No worreis @shy mountain! I'll check there. Thanks man 🙂
Again, very sorry - i blame habit and muscle memory 
It's like 6am here and I haven't slept yet, so I'm in no shape or form to blame you whatsoever 😛
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?
Ive run into this issue as well. Im not really sure if there is a current solution :/
@shy mountain I have done that several times and it still happens
@shy mountain the issue is it reappears when you reopen no matter what :/
thanks @errant epoch for the confirmation. Glad it's not just me. It's annoying. 🙂
!relog
Streamelements on top of OBS -> Logout -> login
@errant epoch @little crane ⤴️
@shy mountain no change. Ive also reinstalled multiple times for other reasons so ree
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
Same
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... 🙂

"easy peasy" yeah... yeah lets go with that
haha
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
I don't know if all of those steps are necessary but it worked for me. How about you @errant epoch
the take a tour button doesnt even do anything different
twitch
Show me your OBS window.
As of me opening it or as of me clicking the tour button?
both?
get the dock next to the AF dock
before clicking anything
wait you said that taking the tour didn't do anything 
as in, clicking the button didn't do anything
Yeah the take a tour button and the launch media request button takes you to the same place
i said it does the same thing as the other button
I worded it weirdly: Anything different
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?
sure lol
DM ID and password
wait which software am I using to share? I have so many now @shy mountain
teamviewer
ok
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.
Is it possible to see which song is requested most?
We don't track that unfortunately.
hello, whats the issue?
Would you mind if I sent you my Reddit post since it seems like it's complicated?
Dm it to me sure
I'm trying to download Ground Control also and the .exe appears to be corrupt? (Have tried multiple times)
@finite kettle your issue is more focused towards obs, and not SE.live. I saw someone tell you to come here, but that wasnt actually correct
Try here: https://discordapp.com/invite/obsproject
Sorry about that
you too, hope you get your issue fixed
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
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
Hi Dream, done that too lol
im just going to grab some lunch,
can you do a quick recording for a log file and paste the url here
@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+)
ah, scarlett
ive had issues with this before, let me try and find the steps to check
thank you so much... Please go grab lunch first
Sample rate?
44.1
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
I do have the sample rate at 44.1
what is the buffer size inside the focusrite control panel?
I dont think I have a control panel.. lol I will look for it
Looks likes its working now.. I was only able to change it to 48
and i deleted virtual line
thank you so much xx
just as i found my check list 😁
no problem! glad it's working!
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
What resolution are you running the game at?
for your monitor or for the game?
the game
what resolution are you streaming at?
basic resolution?
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
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
When you look in OBS Settings >> Video what is the Base (canvas) resolution set at?
@tough sail For the best OBS support, please join their Official Discord @ discord.gg/obsproject
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
alrighty, thank you very much^^
guys the multi raffle picking only one person but it need be 2 min
for win
Hey, i got a new gamer pc and when i start streaming it drop frames. Idk why. I tried YT tutorials and nothing worked.
@wide sedge 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.
Your log contains streaming sessions with dropped frames. This can only be caused by a failure in your internet connection or your networking hardware. It is not caused by OBS. Follow the troubleshooting steps at: https://obsproject.com/wiki/Dropped-Frames-and-General-Connection-Issues
ok thx
Hey, is anyone around that can help me please?
@neat quiver what is your problem?
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
for example
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.
yes
@neat quiver fixed?
How do you enable BTTV emotes for the chat overlay, also how do you refresh the overlay for new emotes that get added(both FFZ and BTTV)?
Can try in chat !emotesupdate BTTV & !emotesupdate FFZ I believe.
Checking default commands just in case 
Didn't work. It only shows some FFZ emotes, and no BTTV emotes.
Hey there,
I'm trying to use the new stana hype cup, but for some reason he keeps flickering every now and then on my obs layer. Everything else on the overlay is fine just santa who likes to flash every now and then (in the non rude sense lol).
On streamelements website he doens't flicker but on OBS he does. anyone know why?
@rugged quail Try
I already have that ticked.
untick it
Nope he's still flickering 😦
🤔
it's strange everything else on the same overlay works it's just poor santa can't help himself. Just wants to flash everyone 😂
@rugged quail screenshot overlay settings, please
you mean that?
The other hypecups like the christmas tree don't flicker
I've tried the other hypecups to see
Just tried the easter bunny tip jar. that one flickers 🤔
This one doens't flicker, but I don't know what that is 😂

All animated overlays work except the stream starting is very choppy. With the timer. Any ideas. 27% cpu and i7 let me know
hey there, when I try and alter my overlays by using the Open in Streamelements button, it opens and then just not load - any ideas?

- How do you enable BTTV emotes for the chat overlay?
- How do you refresh the overlay for new emotes that get added(both FFZ and BTTV)? !emotesupdate ffz/bttv didnt work.
hey guys so I duplicated an overlay on my overlay to put it in a different scene on my obs but when I go edit one overlay it messes up my other scene on obs. Is duplicating overlays keeping the same link? that doesnt make any sense
omg someone halp me
What is your problem?
Everything in OBS is working just fine, but everything from Stream Elements is completely missing
I even replugged the links, nothing.
restarted it, signed in and out.

@austere garnet anyone who picks up that link will be able to fiddle with your overlays, you don't want that to happen 😉

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?
gimme a sec
okay
what widget is it?
Oh I use the alpha rotating feed
Gimme a sec
If you go into editor -> field is there any text in there
yes
i have the fields under open editor minimized
its not in there
there is a font option but not set for custom font
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
I guess for now i will have to try to find a font CLOSE to csgo's font
yee. Google Fonts is very big. im sure you can find something
annoying that custom fonts doesnt have the custom text field
sorry custom widget
doesnt have the text field
that's on the creator of the widget
is there a way for me to add it in?
i don't know, i am not a code guru 😛
haha
^
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.
right
but if i add just text in an overlay i can set a custom font from my pc
as stated here in this thread https://streamelements.helprace.com/i199-add-more-fonts-or-allow-us-to-upload-fonts
I dont think streamelements supports custom fonts from downloads sadly
it does tho
it does?
ikr
i gave it my best go but I cant find a custom upload. Like said earlier, try #dev-chat
what's a api
application program interface
It’s what makes the internet do cool shit
I love your answer
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.
Well, the first thing to do is determine if your MacBook Air can even run OBS Studio
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
@mighty sparrow version 10.14.6
My sub goal widget thinks I have 191 subs. I wish. I have 9. Anyone know why it's doing this?
@rugged quail not sure why it's doing that but you can change it in your overlay then go to data then goals make sure to save the changes of course 
I'm not able to frame my streamelemts. what can I do?
@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.
good night @kindred fox . I used the normal obs but I switched to stream labs to see if that's the problem. but I do not think so. not even in the preview fits on my screen
@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
I already tried it 😦
what is the resolution of your screen?
in your SE Overlay list, click on the pencil in the name of your overlay and change the resolution to 720p
It worked. Thank you friend, I am very grateful for your help. have a good night
you're the best
Hello, I just joined this community. I want to ask, why is my OBS when Display Capture only displays a Black Screen? I have also done tips from this link https://www.obs.live/articles/2019/3/20/how-to-fix-the-obs-capture-window-black-issue and it still doesn't work. Maybe someone can help. Thank you ✌️
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
Is there a way to set up a command to trigger a source within a scene?
not currently
Hey I applied for the merch store and haven't heard back from anyone? Help?
The merch is currently on a private invite. You will recieve access when you are needed for testing. Just wait patiently until you're given access or it goes public @forest wraith
Followed all the steps in the guide above for "black screen". Still can't get it going. Have no issue in SLOBS. So I'm sort of at a loss right now.
@verbal timber obs settings >> advanced >> scroll down and disable hardware acceleration
@errant epoch I get it, I just have a very large audience and a high demand
Nope. Disabled hardware acceleration. Still no go.
Delete and re-add your browser source
Also should say, using a capture device
Screenshot your obs window
What is the source you added to obs?
Avermedia LGP2 capture card
"Video capture device"
It's picking up audio from it. Just can't get video.
press CTRL + F
Okay
i mean, select the source in the sources and press CTRL + F
if nothing shows up for that source
it might be best to ask in the OBS discord
!obshelp
For the best OBS support, please join their Official Discord @ discord.gg/obsproject
Okay, thanks.
Im having an issue with streamelements dropping to 0kbs for almost a min and while it did that I ran a speed test and was getting 11Mbs upload
@rugged quail Please provide a log from your last stream. To do this, in OBS go to Help > Log Files > Upload Last Log File and paste the link to the log file here.
i think this is the correct one
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
Streamelements on top -> import from other services
that will import each scene from SLOBS
as an overlay
then simply:
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
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
A lot of the custom html/css isn't being transferred properly (like my follower goals and stuff), any idea as to why?
As in, the widget is there but its not working correctly?
Yeah
Where are you transferring from?
SLOBS
premade overlay, or your own?
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 😛
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
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.
eh. May as well see if someones willing to help first
Or you can take a look at some other goal widget in #widget-share 😉
It does appear to be the majority of my overlay that is faulty
Is there a beta for OBS.Live, and if so, how do we get it?
Currently there is nothing new to test.
ok
hello?

so im trying to set up the alerts via SE, but is there a way to get the default cheer image from twitch?
yes
now when i set up alerts and go to the cheer ones, it has the circle images and some diff sound
Sent 
oh i meant the default sounds twitch uses 
twitch has default sounds?
since when and how?
i know they provided the animations, but sounds we had to make as well as SL made their own sounds.
🙂
thnx @wary dew

@wary dew remember my alerts except for follows aren’t going off. Sparks/embers and hosts
@wary dew all good. Just checking
so i was able to stream and record at the same time and now this
@cedar flower 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.
When I try to edit my overlay in obs live, I get the editor window popping up, but it has an infinity loading circle.
what browser does it launch?
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
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.
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
Ok, I’ll try that.
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
What do you mean crashing your computer @stone escarp
Well. Crashing my OBS to be more specific.
Any time someone cheers or subs, obs crashes
A crash log is required to investigate the cause of your issue. Please upload the last crash log.
- In OBS, click the Help menu
- Select Crash Reports, and then Upload Last Crash Report
- Copy the URL, and paste it to the chat here.
@kindred fox Ty so much
@stone escarp do you have alerts as a separate browser source or is it part of your overlay
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
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
Ok. Will try again. Thank you for this!!
@hazy jay https://www.take-a-screenshot.org
hey all! Hope there is someone who can help me understand something with the OBSLive mixer.
https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/442298123411521547/654017931897733130/unknown.png (I know this picture is from SLOBS, but i got same issue in OBSLive)
I can't seem to choose any of my games, browser or anything else?
what are you trying to do and what (where) is that picture?
it is the properties of a mixer output source
so if its an output then you wont be able to select a game or browser
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
settings > audio
set the desktop to whatever you are using (headphones)
@plain sonnet It is, but why am i missing so many choices like my friend on this picture: https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/442298123411521547/654018105621872671/image1.jpg?width=436&height=582

Hi!/
How can I take from someone any control from my streamelements account?
Revoke control in account settings doenst work

Does anyone know how to change output mode to advanced? It won't give me the option to change it out of simple.
have just replied to you in obs
oh lol
@rugged quail try clear cache
@fathom cobalt thanks

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 😬
@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
@hasty grotto this is not possible, sorry.
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
@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.
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?
Did you try a complete reinstall instead of just a repair?
I unchecked hardware acceleration, and I still get the spinning circle when I try to load the Overlay editor in obs live.
@tulip hamlet I just tried the repair not a reinstall
Ill go try do a complete reinstall
@tulip hamlet that worked, thank you
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?
Not at this time, no.
okay cool.. you just saved me 2 hours from trying! thanks!
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.
thank you lol
I need help with a text problem while editing my scenes?
@kindred tide 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.
My text is grayed out when i drag it near the bottom, I have the text as the top layer and it still grays out...
I've been having random CPU spikes even after checking entire PC for updates and clearing cache.
Any tips would be perfect

Your log isn't reporting any issues of skipped frames. 🤔
Yeah it doesnt report any, but 4 or 5 viewers said it froze and then it froze for me in obs
very strange honestly
Well, Twitch did just have a very bad hiccup if that helps.
mixer over here
Can you be more specific than "it froze?"
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
16:54:44.330: Output 'adv_stream': stopping
16:54:44.330: Output 'adv_stream': Total frames output: 2686

Looks like it just lost connection to Mixer.
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
Not that I've heard.
Hey there, the SE links for my alerts stopped working suddenly. Any idea what could be the cause?
not loading in Chrome or OBS
@kind thistle Right click on the BrowserSource > Properties > Scroll down a bit > Refresh Cache of current page
still not working
@kind thistle do you hear sound in OBS?
hai, trying to migrate from slobs today... and i was wondering how i could preview widgets?
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
@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
and i would like to
thank you mr bot, i have already done that, but please spam me some more
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.
was already ticked
then try and untick it
no dice, unticked, reloaded obslive... ticked, reloaded obslive
i can test stream chat fine
well, everything else i cant
i can see the alerts and widgets in streamlabs editor
@glossy tapir 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
I'm not sure what you've done wrong at this point if you can't see the alert popup in obs
what i see
Do you hear double sound when testing the alerts?
no
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
without the last step
is the browser source on top of all sources in the source list?
Do you have team viewer?
no but can download, think i have something
obslive is using a different canvas size
is it not 1920x1080?
you can see the sub alert corner here
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
that will fit the overlay
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
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
👍
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
@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.

Saw that 👀
Sorry
How do i get the captions to show on my stream when they are enabled?
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
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
You don't have it overlay on your stream
ah so it wont work on Mixer?
That plug-in will not work on mixer
however
the webcaptioner section of that site will explain how to add captions on your stream
No problem!
Webcaptioner is really good, but make sure to clear your transcripts to make sure you don't run out of RAM
😉
ah right good point lol
Hello, i have problems with hotkeys for scene switch, can someone help me?
Can you elaborate please?
Yea, when im in OBS i can switch scenes, but when im in game i cant.. i try ctrl+f1, ctrl+num1
