Not sure what the Multiple game captures are... I have 3 scenes that load it but hardly switch...
and another..
@crystal forge 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+)
I thought I did that..
Its the same thing
not that time..
just record...
on a few of those I idid but the last 3 wher not.
Still empty as if you never clicked the "start recording" even
again I do not know the multiple captures... I have 2 cence that i switch between but hardly ever...
@crystal forge For the best OBS support, please join their Official Discord @ discord.gg/obsproject
again... I went through ened all Game and Browsers..
Ok it seems you are not seeing the bigger issue here - the dropped frames of which you complained about
My OBS sometimes crashes, it's not super often, but I'm wondering is its normal. I stream everyday and maybe like one or twice a week it happens, sometimes it's random and other times it seems to be related to adding and removing captures when I'm live.
I figured it was normal since I've seen obs crash for other streamers randomly from time to time, but figured it was work asking about
@dry prawn 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.
Sometimes my Overlays are messed up (missing graphics) and the reload Overlay button wasn't working, was fine last week. Does the reload overlay button only work when you're not steaming now? I used to be able todo it when streaming but the past two days it has not been working.
There is a fix coming up for the reload button in OBS.Live
For now I would suggest to use the reload button from the dashboard
@woeful sleet a scene is like a folder where you place all your sources in
what do you want to know about the sources?
the basic ones you are going to need are: video input capture, browser source and windows capture
that gets you a camera, gameplay and overlay for output
how do i apply the overlays to the scenes?
@woeful sleet 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 â âShutdown source when not visibleâ https://youtu.be/KDvLynUqXI4
because when i try and go live there are no widgets on screen, are the overlays preprogrammed or do i have to add them?
how do i activate them in obs live
you have to make an overlay over at the website, have you done that?
or picked a super theme?
if you add it like Support AI states above and set the right dimensions, it should all be there
you can also drag sources around, so dont have the browser source hidden under the gameplay!
Hi, my widgets just stopped working. I was able to test them for about 30 minutes on OBS.LIVE but now they don't show up. I tested the URL by adding other things like photos, 2nd capture screens. Those all work. It's just my widgets that don't now. I made new widgets and premade ones, none work. If you have any ideas/suggestions please let me know.
ok but the bot just told me to click shutdown source when not visible
yes so that is when you switch to another scene, you can have multiple scenes
i picked a super theme and did it just like it said.
when the scene with the overlay is open, the overlay is always visible
@round nova What is your account name and overlay name?
@shy mountain Account: Fortnite Overlay: Notifications
so what capture mode do i use for which scene?
Account name fortnite?
Sorry I read that wrong. Where is account name?
@woeful sleet you can pick that yourself
@round nova Please provide your account ID found at the top of this page: https://streamelements.com/dashboard/account/channels This ID is public info and safe to share here.
but im saying i dont understand which is which
i told you, im an idiot when it comes to this stuff
lets just stay with the one scene here for now
you can name the scenes, so for example you can name this one 'Live scene'
then you can have another scene with only a picture source and name it 'Be right Back scene'
a scene is a screen you output
like for game capture how do i stream marbles on stream in full screen mode with only my laptop, i have a second monitor connected with an hdmi cable but i cant access obs live when im in full screen.
@round nova theres just one widget there and its the alerts. What exactly is the issue? 
The alerts don't show up on my OBS.Live when I'm trying to preview them. They worked for about 30 min, now they don't
@round nova 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
Exactly, that's what I've been using. Then it would send to OBS, to make sure it all fit. Or am I just confused? haha
Make sure the "Show Emulated events on stream" option is on to see the alert in OBS/Xsplit
is this option on?
Where do I find that?
check the video
hello? @lilac ocean ?
@woeful sleet try this video, maybe it helps https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zt_HVScA3Js
UPDATED 2018 version of The Ultimate Guide to Streaming to Twitch with OBS Studio. In this video, we go through how to setup OBS Studio's server, bitrate, resolution and framerate settings to get you started and streaming to Twitch đđ»Timestamps & Linksđđ»
đ Full Written Guide ...
Well @shy mountain I think you've answered enough dumb questions. I appreciate the help soooo much đ Seriously, you're the best. I couldn't see that little shadowed text until you said that... oops!
đ
@valid dove I asked internally on your issue. There is no way to make the activity feed to be white/light mode in OBS.Live.
hey guys im having issues getting my alert boxes to show up in obs, anyone else with that issue>
@sly cypress 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
yup that what i always do but still my issue remains lol
@sly cypress 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
bruh im so dumb, its clear so i didnt see that option down there lol
thank you @shy mountain ive spent HOURS searching the internet for answers just to find some dumb stuff like that smfh hahaha
hey there, having error on trying to update obs.live
Do you have a screenshot of the error message?
hi, is there anywhere a change log of the todays obslive update?
Afaik bug fixing.
yes, but what had been fixed? might be important to adjust
There was a bug with the reload overlays button in the activity feed, which has been fixed.
after update , same hours after
@lone wren Can you send us the latest crash logs here?
@lone wren The crash seems to be initiated by a VST plugin.
Could you try to uninstall that, restart OBS.Live and try to install the update again, to see if it goes through?
Does anyone know why i cant add a custom bot in obs live anymore?
Have you followed these instructions? https://discordapp.com/channels/141203863863558144/494513233416421386/561516184718278676
yeah but after logging in correctly it doesnt find the account
i also tried another account but it won't show up
Try these steps:
1) Right click on your OBS desktop shortcut -> properties - in the "Target" field add this -> --remote-debugging-port=40404
2) Open OBS(or restart if it was open)
3) Open your browser and type in "localhost:40404"
4) Click on "StreamElements - Activity feed"
5) navigate to the Console tab
6) type in the console this: store.customBot.removeCustomBotIntegration() and hit enter
7) Try setting the custom bot name
Remove the addition to the target field again.
lemme check, one moment please
can't add that in the target field
ill just reinstal everything
hi i am experiencing a 9 second audio delay even after adjusting bitrate
@quasi swallow Please let us now if that fixed your issue. If not, we'll investigate further.
@odd kraken or anyone that might have some help on this?
@patent igloo For the best OBS support, please join their Official Discord @ discord.gg/obsproject
ok so no support in here? sorry i thought this was a help channel
Still not working... Won't do anymore than this
Reinstalled, tried 2 accounts but the custom name won't show up
Have you done the steps I suggested above?
I'll give it another shot
somehow i cant add that to the target
i might be stupid but it wont apply
hey guys, im getting told i need to update my obs.live however everytime i click update it says "failed downloading software update package"
Do you have a screenshot of that error?
@quasi swallow You may need admin rights to do so.
restart your pc then try downloading from here
https://streamelements.com/obslive
run it as admin when installing
@neat cobalt
anyone else having problems with alerts? None of my test alerts from streamelements.com are going through to my OBS to check if its working properly! My widgets for followers/latest stuff are working
but alerts are a no no
@smoky hollow 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
Where is the "show emualted events on stream" option in OBS cannot seem to find it
It is on the website in the overlay editor.
for some reason the "nvidia nvenc h.264 (new)" option is missing for me in my settings? i only have the normal one not the (new) one, is there something im missing or?
In the easy settings you can choose between x264 and nvidia. If you have the new available it will automatically choose the new one, otherwise fall back to the old one.
ah ok no worries thank you
as admin it also doesnt work
idk ill find something else
oh i got something
omg it worked
Thanks so much @odd kraken ! It's working
thanks a lot for your patience!
How did you solve it?
Try these steps:
1) Right click on your OBS desktop shortcut -> properties - in the "Target" field add this -> --remote-debugging-port=40404 2) Open OBS(or restart if it was open) 3) Open your browser and type in "localhost:40404" 4) Click on "StreamElements - Activity feed" 5) navigate to the Console tab 6) type in the console this: store.customBot.removeCustomBotIntegration() and hit enter 7) Try setting the custom bot nameRemove the addition to the target field again.
@odd kraken restart my pc, ran OBS as administrator and tried this a few times
first two times somehow didn't work but once i was able to add the thing in step 1 it worked
Perfect.
danke!
@smoky hollow watch the video its in the editor
why my screen capture is black ?
even go live for entire screen in disord is black !!! why ?
@winter mist obs is runned as admin? You are on laptop?
I'm on laptop and linux
x-server is 1.11
Use hardware acceleration when available is off in chrome
for some reason my alerts arent showing on my obs/stream when im testing them in the overlay?
@neat cobalt You can test Alerts via the bell on the lower right corner of the Overlay Editor. Simply go to your Dashboard -> My Overlays -> Pencil/edit button on the overlay. Make sure the "Show Emulated events on stream" option is on to see the alert in OBS/Xsplit https://streamable.com/h6qgy
yep im an idiot thanks haha
im trying to download the obslive plugin for my stream deck but it's not working
it loads through but it doesnt actually download and i can keep pressing the install button
Lets try this:
- Open %appdata%\Elgato\StreamDeck\Plugins
- Delete the com.streamelements.obslive.sd plugin folder
- Reinstall the plugin from the Stream Deck plugins menu
Are those Instructions in a command?
That worked. Thank you
Just for easy Typing
Probably but I had it easy to copy + paste this time
Mmm might be good practice to have it as a Command
Ahhhhh I didnât see this tab. I was looking for a Help with StreamElements tab. Lol. My bad. So I have an issue with ReStream through OBS. I have updated the latest update, then put in where I want it to go ......ReStream.io RTMP.....and go live. Nothing (gameplay) shows up on my Mixer or my FB page. Just a picture of me. Lol. I have all accounts attached and ReStream says itâs something on SE side. I sent SE a message, havenât heard back yet. Can anyone here help with this ?
@torn lantern can you see your game in obs?
@kindred fox yes
Then everything youâre seeing should be output to restream, unless youâve modified your encoder settings to something outside default for what youâre trying to do
I havenât modified anything. Just where I want it to stream to
anyone else having issues with obs studio just not opening at all or immediately crashing if it does open after an update today or just me?
@kindred fox I hate to do it but I may uninstall and reinstall it.
Once youâve authenticated to restream and hit start streaming what happens?
@keen saddle do you get any error messages?
Hi, I'm trying to add media share, I've added the widget to my main overlay. Why do I have to have the media share page open for this to work? It actually doubles the audio having it open (as it plays in the web browser and OBS). If I close media share in the browser it stops in OBS. Likewise, if I use ground control, it doesn't link properly to my token (I've reset this multiple times). Any help will be very appreciated.
@kindred fox nope. opens for a sec then closes. if it opens at all
No errors?
@kindred fox I get a stream key error. So Ive gone into restream and reset for a new stream key
Make sure to paste the new stream key into obs
@kindred fox negative. creates a log entry but no errors on screen
Can you drop the crash log here?
@kindred fox it detects it automatically. No where to insert one
Unplug your webcam and restart obs @keen saddle
@torn lantern thatâs reaaaaallly weird
@vivid lodge so if you sign into ground control and let media request play (with browser closed) does it work?
And if you remove the JWT token from ground control can you sign back in using your twitch credentials?
same thing after unplugging webcam
Youâre capturing streamlabs chatbot?
on stream yes
Can I ask why?
for song requests etc
I'm getting crashes too, as soon as I move OBS to my other Display ...
Thatâs available via streamelements...
@torn lantern can you stream to each platform separately without restream?
@kindred fox - even in ground control there's a doubling, with the browser closed it does work though, just doubled. It's playing it with volume through ground control. Something seems very off.
I just turned off my SE_gaming source off and it's playing just in ground control. As soon as I turn on the source, it's doubled. I don't think it should be this way.
not sure I know what you're asking by monitoring it
You shouldnât have to monitor ground control as audio goes the through the overlay
@kindred fox i had setup streamlabs chatbot with chat commands and such before switching to streamelements
Ground control doesnât have to be an audio source in obs
@keen saddle you can import those đ
it's not, the overlay from SE should be the only source
but that's neither here nor there if obs wont even open lol
Hmm...
all audio monitoring is off in advanced properties
I'm hearing ground control right now, with my source off in OBS
I don't know what's going on here, I setup the song to play in ground control, I just shut down ground control, my browser, and I still hear the song.
Obs still playing it?
I have no clue what's going on
Are you using obs.live or vanilla obs?
obs.live
@vivid lodge streamelements menu >> media request
Close Ground Control
Manage it from there and you shouldnât have duplicate audio
@kindred fox prior to getting ReStream, I was streaming directly to Mixer. No issues at all. But Iâm trying to spread my gaming out to multiple platforms for at least a month or so to see where i get the most engagement.
Okay, so if you stream to mixer for 5 minutes does it show, twitch, etc
Because it might be an issue with your connected accounts on restream if you can stream to the platforms separately
I just opened media request and the music stopped as you suggested and the music stopped. There's a warning at the top saying "Media Request is Currently in Use somewhere else, use here"
Lol thatâs probably ground control
now it's playing and doubling again once I open my source
Make sure youâve checked the box for âShutdown source when inactiveâ on all overlays
Can you screenshot your obs for me?
Quick question! If I initially set up OBS.Live to stream to YouTube, but I want to switch to Twitch instead, how do I do that?
I'm currently logged in to my Twitch Channel on Streamelements.com, and my OBS.Live settings is set to stream to Twitch, but when I press "Start Streaming" it insists on starting a YouTube stream! đŹ
screen shot
@kindred fox hereâs my setup. Xbox one, HD60 S +, Dell laptop, yeti mic, StreamElements.....
@raw moss Settings > Stream, change it there to Twitch đ
@raw moss streamelements menu >> log out >> log in | then make sure in the obs settings >> stream its set to twitch
You have two overlays in your scene @vivid lodge. Is media request widget on both?
@vivid lodge Further than I can get, since the update every time I try to move OBS to my second display, it instantly crashes ....
@torn lantern I asked if you can stream to each platform independently without issues. Please test that you can, and then we can figure out where the issue lies.
media is only on the SE_Gaming overlay
tried uninstall and reinstall without webcam hooked up. same thing
Iâm trying to stream to Mixer, FB and YouTube. Iâve tried them individually (without restream) no issues
@kindred fox
Okay, so the issue lies within Restream
start by adding one platform, then a second, then the third and see when it breaks
make sure the account information is correct within your restream dashboard
@kindred fox So obviously thereâs a disconnect somewhere. Lol. Thatâs my thought too
@keen saddle can you do me a favor and push Start+R and go to %appdata% and move the obs-studio folder to your desktop? Then relaunch OBS?
@echo marsh what kind of computer are you running obs on?
are both of your monitors plugged into the same GPU?
Nope, and this literally started after the update, I been running like this for over a year no problems until today.
@vivid lodge When you added your overlay did you check this box?
@kindred fox I also have another issue. The destination source always keeps changing back to Mixer even after I set it to restream.io. Why would that be?
aha
@keen saddle open task manager and in the Details tab close all OBS instances
@torn lantern Click StreamElements in the menu >> Log out
then set it to restream
I just did that and lol, now the video won't show
@torn lantern also, can you click StreamElements in the menu and select Report Issue to report that it's overriding your platform in the OBS Settings?
So it was running in another instance of OBS but not the one you were using?
that's freaking weird
@kindred fox no obs instances in task manager
I literally just had a 5 hour stream yesterday no issues.... Now because of this ... I'm going to have to cancel todays stream, until I can figure this out.
yep, the video is now gone, I can hear it though
@vivid lodge that's insanely weird. Do you have the Media Request dock open?
@echo marsh Are both of your monitors connected to the same GPU?
No
That's why it's breaking
connect them to the same GPU
They should both be connected to the same GPU
That makes no sense, considering I have run this same setup for a year with no problems, now it breaks ....
@keen saddle you should be able to move that folder as long as there aren't any instances of OBS running in task manager
@echo marsh Try it and see if it works
And that's not going to work, when I use the GPU the second display is attached to as my ENCODER.
So you have two GPUs running at 8x?
@kindred fox when I downloaded OBS I got 2 versions. A StreamElements version and OBS version. Both appear to open the same setup. But I canât be sure.
both @ 16 not 8
no where to be seen
and it still won't let you move the folder?
nope
@echo marsh how are you getting two PCI 3.0 lanes running at 16x?
there's no consumer board on the market or CPU that currently supports it
@keen saddle Would you restart your PC for me and try to relocate that folder to your desktop after a restart? I want to make sure there isn't something else that would be preventing it
there's some sort of disconnect here, when I add a song request, it doesn't even go into the queue now.
sigh
not in queue
Im not sure if this is the best place to ask but i get this on my OBS and im not sure what it is, anyone that had the same issue or knows a fix to it?
@vivid lodge can you click on streamelements in the menu >> log out >> Log back in for me and see if that fixes the bot?
@rugged quail check your GPU updates
cool it loaded now
Also double-check that your song request command is enabled for both and not just online or offline
@keen saddle bitchin
just have to reload all my overlays and such
It will probably require you to set up things again, but I'm glad it is working
WOOT
Also just a heads up, keep an eye on that brio
people have had issues with them inside OBS for some reason not getting good framerates or stuttering
nobody has found a solution or cause yet, but it's entirely random
just want to make you aware in case you happen to experience it
đ
@kindred fox will do
@rugged quail Can you open the Nvidia Control Panel >> go to 3D settings and click Restore To Defaults?
@vivid lodge how we doing?
sorry, yes I am at it but had to run and get my phone for the 2 factor...
@torn lantern Have you tested out your restream settings one by one yet?
I know that feeling! I don't even know what my twitch password is so I have to look it up every time I relog
@kindred fox just got home. Hopping back on now
@kindred fox I dont know how but i pressed restore and it worked doesnt happends anymore, any idea of what it could be about?
something in the graphics settings for nvidia...not sure what it is
probably an antialiasing setting most likely?
but don't quote me on that
Well it works and thank you very much đ
song request is not linking still but if I add directly to the media request pane the video works.
@kindred fox ok did the import thing from streamlabs. chat commands especially chat commands that trigger sound didnt copy over. how do i do the sound ones in stream elements?
but now it's not working to request from the chat pane
@kindred fox This is what I keep getting
@torn lantern Can you make sure you're signed out by clicking StreamElements >> Log out? Then go into your OBS Settings, make sure it says "Restream.io" and you're connected there?
anyone know anything about the trojan being found within the elgato streamdeck plugin?
it's a false positive
make sure your streamdeck software is updated and it will install just fine
@vivid lodge make sure your Song Request command is available for both online and offline. There should be a "Both" option in the command section of your dashboard for the Song Request command
yeah i've had it installed for quite some time, just realized that my AV had quarantined something from streamelements and was a little weirded out
Typically because it's not something that AV has seen frequently enough, it flags it. I know Symantec used to do that all the time with apps I regularly used and I was like "just because you haven't seen it installed doesn't mean it's new"
This is what is always reverts back to. I then have to go back in and reset it to show Restream.io.....this is where you're talking about, right
This is what I have it set to right now....even when i save it, it goes back to the other one
And youâre logged out of streamelements menu @torn lantern ?
@kindred fox - that solved that one, requests are on lol duh on me
here's an issue, I have my SE source, which contains the media request but I also need my desktop audio or a gaming audio output but it picks up the both audios.
@kindred fox ok...done
My advice would be to disable everything in obs settings audio and add your individual inputs/outputs. @vivid lodge
Now what happens when you click start streaming @torn lantern ?
ok @kindred fox that's fine but gaming capture doesn't have an audio capture, it comes through as the desktop. Or am I missing something?
@kindred fox start stream without signing in then?
yes
see if you can stream
@vivid lodge you'll add your default audio output as a source in the scene
My audio device is my GoXLR
but you would add your headset as an audio output and your mic as an audio input
That will make sure you only have an audio input/output for each source you're using. When you add your overlays make sure you don't check the box I pointed at earlier
Leave that one unchecked
yeah but I do that and the audio doubles up again
The audio shouldn't double-up
lol, it shouldn't but it does
it should play out your default audio device
That box in your overlay properties is unchecked?
I see what you're talking about
I'm getting it too
Do you have the overlay editor open by chance?
no
you also shouldn't have an audio source for your overlay
go into the properties of your overlay and uncheck that Control Audio via OBS box
this is too much trouble, I uncheck and the audio still doubles, I check it and I have to mute the SE source
you have the widget on another overlay somewhere.
Do you have Ground Control open by chance?
no, closed that long ago
argh, and now the queue isn't filling again
because it magically turned off
ok, I enabled it again in the chat commands, closed the browser, and it disabled again
Thanks anyways @kindred fox , I appreciate you trying. I'm not going to use this feature as it is not agreeing with me or my setup.
@kindred fox Ok. That worked. How did that work without me being signed into it? And does that mean I canât add overlays and stuff now?
it keeps shutting off anyways
Lemme get someone for you @vivid lodge
I just got an update for OBS Live, but I can't find any links or info on any place where I can read a changelog, I'd love to see what's being updated.
@torn lantern you can still use overlays, you just wonât see the standard activity feed windows in obs
@north birch the update addressed an issue with reloading the activity feed dock
I mean, I appreciate you telling me that, but is there really no changelog available anywhere?
the update broke test alerts
@tawdry lava 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
@north birch Iâll see if they can get the notes posted for you in the #270206314561404928 channel
@kindred fox so this is a nice fix but is their a way to fix it so everything works like it should?
Unfortunately obs cannot handle multiple platform alert APIs at once.
Iâll still be able to add more platforms to restream now right? Plus, is their a way to reduce the 10 second delay Iâm getting from restream to Facebook?
alright
Ohhh. Ok.
Youâll still have to add an overlay for each platform, then monitor chat with restream chat, then open each platforms activity feed in a new browser window
And thatâs just because of how APIs work
@neat cobalt 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
@steel blade
I wanted to ask for help but I guess I'm lucky to find easly this message. The button is so small / low opacity I didn't even know it was there
Thank you anayway đ
That doesnât seem very user friendly so to speak.
I know people who have tried restream, but the problem lies in the inability to focus on a specific group of viewers. Restream is great if you have a broadcast-level setup, but terrible as an individual. Iâd recommend streaming to a different platform on different days, which will let you build a more diverse audience
Like when EVGA does their weekly stream itâs great for them to use restream because theyâre trying to reach an already established audience on each platform their users engage the company on.
@kindred fox that sounds like a possibility. I only have this for a month because I wanted to see where I get the most engagement
Engagement means putting out tweets, meeting other people on the platform, making quality relationships in communities focused on the games you play and supporting other streamers just by showing up and saying hello
I was actually thinking 3 months because 1 month wonât really give a good baseline
Iâd recommend using twitter to post for twitch, Facebook for FB gaming and well mixer.....is either Twitter or Facebook
That way you can also track where users are coming from
Analytics are a powerful tool
@kindred fox just sent you a message. Was blocked by Clyde. Lol.
No worries. I completely understand that! Lol
Here it is
Hey Orsuna, , I appreciate all of your help. You seem to be quite knowledgeable with all of this. What would you recommend to me , just starting out in the streaming world...going to go long term. Any tips, tricks, advice would be greatly appreciated as I want to set myself up for a very successful streaming career and surround myself with those who are looking to do the same.
Iâm a terrible streamer, but Iâve been around long enough to know what works and what doesnât. Donât play anything âpopularâ on stream.
Twitchstrike is a decent resource for when to stream and what to stream, usually games in the 2nd and 3rd row of games on twitch
Also stream what you like
Iâm on hiatus until the 10th when I stream the new Ori game, then Doom Eternal
I tried to stream popular games but ended up hating it more than I enjoyed playing
We stream mainly BFV. I play other games though. Racing games, puzzle type games etc.
@kindred fox
Youâll be fine

@rugged quail For the best OBS support, please join their Official Discord @ discord.gg/obsproject
its obslive from streamelements that im using
@north birch we're actually have plans to adding a "release notes" popup to obslive
The elgato capture software shows it works properrly and when I trying to add the source 1 nothing ever pops up and 2 about 80 percent of the times obs live crashes on me
anyone that can help me?
Which card?
I have an avermedia for gameplay and a elgato hd60 for the new sony a5100
I got it to work for like 10 mins yesterday but now it's nothing but issues
everytime I add the elgato hd60 which im using for my cam doesn't work and crashes obs
hd60 usb
having an issure where i used to see where i could edit stream info and see twitch stats but its all gone, i did check for updates and have all latest updates, i did sign out of stream elements and signed back in even deleted the obs profile cookies. any other suggestions?
Reinstall game capture HD and just for kicks 4K Capture utility
ok
@frigid rivet View > docks > stats
that just shows the stats of the cpu, fps and info for the obs stream
i used to have more options in there but i dont at the moment
Might be there once you go live
Once you open it again it should stick
As long as you âdock itâ
sup!!! need some help because i cant stream Assetto Corsa on elements... can someone help me?
i had everything docked last week and now its all missing
should i just uninstall obs and stream elements and redownload everything?
@elder stream I have no idea what that means
@frigid rivet it should show up when youâre live
It may not show until you go live. You should be able to do a quick âstart streamingâ, open the dock, then stop
i tried that and nothing happened
As in the option wasnât there?
right
Obs settings > stream > disconnect / reconnect
go finger, the one thing i forgot to do
thank you so much
now to figure out streamdeck and stream elements
@kindred fox problem solved
Any idea why my alerts stopped working?
They work in Streamelements but not in OBS. I'm using a browser source with the correct link
@hollow lichen 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
@frigid rivet - Open %appdata%\Elgato\StreamDeck\Plugins
- Delete the
com.streamelements.obslive.sdplugin folder
Then reinstall the doodad for streamdeck
Sorry if it's a dumb question but I'm asking for a friend. Does StreamElements work on Mac? I use a windows PC so it's not my territory at all lol
Just curious, but how do i reset a Tip Goal?
@teal ferry To reset goals:
- from the overlay editor -> data on top -> goal tab -> reset progress of desired goal
- from the dashboard -> activity feed on the left -> widget data on the right -> goals tab -> reset progress of desired goal
Note: Goal widgets(progress) only counts up and doesn't go down automatically, if you loose followers/subs
I do not think the OBS.Live plugin will work with Mac OBS, because that version of OBS is far behind. But, the site and the urls to overlays for streamelements will work @rancid sand
Okay kool, thank you very much.
The version of obs isnât behind, the plug-in just has not been developed for macOS
@kindred fox and thank you again for your help i will have to write all that down and keep all that in mind, thank you again soo much
I've been having issues trying to capture Minecraft for Windows 10 on OBS from stream elements
@old shore can you elaborate?
Nevermind, it's capturing now since I had to update stream elements
Well, thank you for answering
Anyone here know how to set up audio so I donât have issues in OBS with mixer? I am using an Xbox one x, elgato capture card hd60, blue yeti mic, and steel series arctis 7 that is wireless but only works for Xbox plugged into the controller. I always get reverb or echo ALWAYS. I just canât figure it out. I want to be able to play multiplayer with a headset but also use my mic as the main audio input source so that it sounds better than a headset. Any help is appreciated. If you canât, does anyone have a link to OBS discord and I can ask there. Thank you guys. Little things like this fixed would make the stream 10x better.
To Use Blue Yeti (with Xbox One)
Xbox headset adapter with input for mic/headphone 3.5 mm (plugs into the controller, controls volume/mute)
A 3.5mm Mic/Headphone splitter
A 3.5mm Male to Male cable
Take the 3.5mm Male to male cable and plug one end into your blue yeti's headphone slot, (make sure the headphone volume is up so you can be heard) Plug the other end of the cable into the Mic/Headphone splitter on the mic side. You can plug in a headphone as well here. Plug the Mic/headphone splitter into the Xbox headset adapter on your controller. Voila!! That should be it. When you talk on the yeti, the audio will be run right into your controller as if it were a mic on a headset.
anyone know a way to fix not being able to capture screen? It dosent pop up after I add it
try and disble the hardware acc File>>settings>>advance scrol down a lil
@crimson osprey you are using laptop?
yes
i always forget to ask that 
@crimson osprey Due to the way laptops are designed, your system must be configured to run OBS on a specific GPU, depending on the type of capture you are trying to do.
For Game Capture and Window Capture (recommended), your system must be configured to run OBS on your laptopâs high performance GPU (default); for Display Capture, your system must be configured to run OBS on your laptopâs power saving GPU (iGPU).
If you are running Windows 10 1903 or newer, use this guide for instructions on how to configure your system: https://github.com/obsproject/obs-studio/wiki/Laptop-GPU-Selection-Windows-10
For instructions on configuring an older version of Windows (you should consider upgrading), use this guide: https://obsproject.com/wiki/Laptop-Troubleshooting
My alerts aren't showing up on OBS live, but they are showing up when I test an alert on the overlay dashboard. Did the new update make it so the alerts don't play on OBS.live unless you are live?
Hey i've been having this issue on my streamdeck, the obs.live used to be installed and now it says it isn't and when i click install i shows the loading bar then goes back to saying its not installed
this is what my streamdeck looks like, i tried reinstalling the stremdeck software but it didn't work. anyone know what to do?
@civic anvil 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
@royal hamlet - Open %appdata%\Elgato\StreamDeck\Plugins
- Delete the
com.streamelements.obslive.sdplugin folder
anybody around that can help me with obslive
@rugged quail 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.
@sand rock 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 believe the emulate alerts on stream checkbox is having a panic attack today
Im not able to scale the chat or Activity feed even though my UI is not locked...anyone know how i can fix this?
I've been having an issue with my overlays for months now... and usually I can get something to work, but none of them will load whether I'm using OBS Studio, OBS.live, reinstalling, resetting API token, putting everything back in as a source, refreshing cache, etc and am at a complete loss
Ok. Hello again all. So I am having sound delays through ReStream through SE now. My Mixer (7seconds) FB (8seconds) YouTube (10 seconds). Video does not match sound. Very bad. Where in settings can I go to fix this and what do I set them to?
@honest spire are you able to see them being emulated via SE site editor in the overlay?
@late furnace they work if I launch or edit, but won't activate on OBS.live, regardless of if I try running as admin or not (I do not run on admin unless testing if it will make a difference), etc. thanks for responding đ
@kindred fox not that bad. Most Iâve had is about 1/2 second when streaming to Mixer.
@kindred fox Iâve not tried the other sites individually
@honest spire on the SE site next to the emulated bell is it checced "show emulated event on stream"
OH that, yeah even if I emulate an event it won't do anything @late furnace only in the editor itself :>
Am, i have a problem with mi obs (Media Request. I don't use in my OBS, but in the page of the stream elements, yes
up top left side goto File>>settings>>advance scroll down a lil and turn off hardware acc(will sat to reset to take affect) and try to emulate an event on se site an watch for it on obs
@honest spire
My chat box isn't expanding in obs, any suggestions?
you may have possible layers together, try moving your doccs around
ok! for now it works! thank you @late furnace , I will have to rework all my overlays since I reset my API already xD thank you!
You're Welcome
@honest spire
@shadow elm mind to share a SS?
Anyone know why i cant scale my chat or activity feed? The UI is not locked and i cant scale it
mind to share SS??
A screen shot? of what
of your OBS please đ
Its kind of hard to show a screen shot of me attempting to scale the chat :P. The mouse shows the little grabber but im not able to really move it
Yeah I cant scale chat or activity feed
same
hmm weird leeme checc mine
i can remove it, but nothing else
have you tried scaling while in admin mode?
Mine has had this issue for as long as I can remember but somehow the activity feed got smaller and want to extend it now
how do i go in admin mode?
right clicc on the obs exe a pop up menu will reveal then select "run as admin" on the desktop
still doesn't expand
^
ok hmm đ€
under File>>settings>>advance all the way at the bottom what does your hotkey setting say?
disable hotkeys when main window is in focus
^^
That worked
boom\
thanks
You're Welcome
You're Welcome
if anyone is available I need some assistance. for some reason my alerts won't come through twitch or OBS. Also i cam't revert my activity feed back to the version where i can replay the alerts
@broken pine 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
My media player Just stopped connecting... and my frames Dropped like a stone..
is it a web socket issue again..?
@crystal forge 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.
Is it safe to update to Nvidia GeForce v:442.50?
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 inâŠ
read this
and it will help you with the dropped frames
how do i add the overlays to my obs.live
@shut isle 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 â âShutdown source when not visibleâ https://youtu.be/KDvLynUqXI4
media source audio is not playing no matter what i do after i just installed the new obs live update
is there a easy way to roll it back
What are your audio settings?
as in
and is it the dock or a browser source with the widget?
So how easy is it to create custom Alerts? In streamlabs I'm having a hard time with customizing the alerts HTML structure. So I'm here looking into Streamelements.
it was working fine before the update
@sour shadow Check in #dev-chat -> channel description for the custom widget variables
@naive path Ok so lets step back for a moment and start over.
Media Request Dock - as in song requests are not playing?
Or local .mp3 files are not playing audio?
@naive path For the best OBS support, please join their Official Discord @ discord.gg/obsproject
We do not touch the media source in OBS in anyway.
I'm curious as to if I have complete control of the HTML structure as I was saying StreamLabs is my issue not Streamelements. I haven't tried Streamelements yet.
i see the meter going but it doesnt go to the obs meter
I'm looking to move to Streamelements which is why I'm in here asking aobut it.
i have it set to monitor and output but no sound
Most of the people that build custom widgets and stuff are in #dev-chat that's why he redirected you to that channel @sour shadow ;)
@sour shadow
Not currently - which meter is filling up?
the media one
Show me
you are not making any sense with the short explanations
show me what is filling up
not that easy its on my streaming computer
the media playing shows up on that meter but doesnt show up on the obs meter and no sound comes out
to the stream or monitor
On which "that meter"?
these?
yes those
or these media audio meters?
there is a big difference
especially since you have a streaming PC
And you have local files playing via a media source?
yes
OBS.Live does not in any way, shape or form touch the media source
Or Audio settings for that mater
then why did the update break it then
Right, then open Control panel -> programs -> uninstall OBS.Live
are you telling me that when the obs live update installs it doesnt update obs
We had an update recently that only fixed the reload button in the activity feed and another internal issue, which both things do not have anything to do with audio settings
and the media source
I don't think anyone else reported the same issue you are reporting
well whatever it was it broke mine
is there a link to a older version
No
ok ill uninstall obs live see what happens
See you seem to think its my rig, and it has been Fine till the last 2 nights...
@crystal forge Speed tests mean very little with regards to streaming and your choice of bitrate. They measure your raw upload speed to a server that's near you (likely run by your local ISP), instead of your stable upload speed to a streaming server. Your stable speed will determine the bitrate you can comfortably stream at.
https://www.speedtest.net/
The stable speed can be estimated as roughly 70-85% of the speed test result in a lot of cases, however this is by no means a perfect estimate. In reality, it may end up being much worse if there's problems between your ISP and the streaming service.
okay last one..
Hey all! I'm having issues trying to connect to Facebook Live and when it does connect it dropes frames really bad. I went through all of the steps KeiZar listed and it seems like something much bigger. Maybe something to do with not having an RTMPS option ??
I have submitted a ticket. I'm dropping 65% frames and getting 0 kb/s
did you share a clean log with us?
@river escarp 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+)
that way, we might see where the issue lies
im not sure what a clean log is
follow the steps from Support AI above đ
I see that your IP is binded, is that something you did manually for some reason?
"Binding to a manually chosen IP address is rarely needed. Go to Settings â Advanced â Network and set "Bind to IP" back to "Default"."
it is on default
Also your stream encoder is set to a video bitrate that is too low.
whats your bitrate at?
my stream encoder is set to NVIDIA NVENC H.264 bitrate is 6k
That is apart, let me notify the staff for you
apart?
apart, as in weird
thank you for your help
No worries, I have notified in our support channel and someone might be able to help you with it
Can you show a screenshot of the binding option please?
it won't allow me to connect to Facebook at all to view the incoming transmission of video on the dash before I go live on the Facebook dash. This is normally how I do it. When it did connect me, (When I binded to a specific IP) it was dropping 65% frames and 0 kb/s
I run a pretty good computer with 1gig internet speeds. I've been doing this for a while now. Something is just not right this past couple updates. Could it have to do with Facebook and the RTMPS servers now?
Dropped frames usually means there is an issue with your ISP and the connection to the server you are trying to stream
I gewt that but could it have to do with the new update?
We in no shape or form touch the connection
i can stream on Streamlabs. I just don't know why i can stream on that but not on OBS Live. or OBS for that matter.
!droppedframes
Dropped Frames usually means that you have a bad connection with the streaming service(Twitch/Youtube/Mixer/Facebook) and most likely something related to your ISP not handling the connection properly.
Speed tests usually cannot help solve this problem and its best to use this guide: https://obsproject.com/wiki/Dropped-Frames-and-General-Connection-Issues
Its worth while to check out the guide just in case
ya i went through the guide already.
that's why i'm reaching out to you guys. i went through a couple forums too.
i did that and OBS doesnt' work trying to get on to facebook
Then I'm not really sure at this point even if OBS Studio without our plugin is acting like that.
Best place to ask is here: discord.gg/obsproject
they will most likely tell you to read the guide again
@river escarp sorry but did you try disabling the beta option you have checked on advanced settings to dynamically change bitrate? not sure if it helps at all but worth checking
Hi all, is there a way to set the audio device for the media request in OBSlive?
@real girder the short answer is kinda, the easiest way is using GroundControl and via the mixer of window select the audio device.
mm ok will look into that
I tried to spilt the audio via VM banana but i kept getting echoing back from the streaming pc
if you have 2 pc setup and you don't wanna hear the music better install GC on the streaming pc
mmm whom is it made by, google giving me tons of music stores đ
oh from SE itself
You can download our Desktop App Ground Control here: https://streamelements.com/groundcontrol
I'm trying to stream to twitch from OBS, but when i click "Start Streaming" it takes me directly to Youtube Live?
@hazy ember Streamelements on top of OBS -> Logout -> login
THANKS
Solved?
yes
this happens when i click connect to twitch
@rugged quail 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
@rugged quail click the button that says "Connect Account"
and you've deleted the OBS Cookies?
is your OBS running as administrator? and what antivirus/firewall software are you using?
Yes i deleted cookies, No Admin i can try that, Windows Defender and MWB
-1 For running as Admin
@kindred fox
did you disable anti virus or any other similar program and tried?
Yes
@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.
Why does that even help any
this has nothing to do with my stream lol
Im assuming this bot is a person behind the words?
helps us to see if there's something blocking it, which there is
Im having the same issue. Started last night after i updated i think.
@balmy pivot 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
try this please
where is ->3) delete %appdata%\obs-studio\plugin_config\obs-browser\obs_profile_cookies
copy it and paste it on a folder url or run command on windows
including the %appdata%
ok did it and it still didnt work.
followed all steps?
same issue. looks like all of twitch integrations as well as the bot tipping and set up
yes sir
I cant even close bot tipping and set up
which is a big white box and it looks like its covering my main display idk
@balmy pivot OBS -> settings -> advanced -> scroll down -> enable/disable hardware accel.
https://i.imgur.com/ggMe9ZE.png
can you try this too?
still nothing
@rugged quail on settings, there's a drop down menu with audio sources
still a big blank box, looks like i still cant close the bot set up ( im assuming thats what it is) my chat is still all white, my overlay wasnt loading yesterday ether when i was streaming. and I no longer have an option for a dock that is stream settings from twitch (like title game etc)
i could try uninstalling and reinstalling..
did you try reinstalling OBS.Live?
is there an easy way to back up my sources
not yet
i dont want to lose all my scenes/sources
you can save/export them afaik
profile-export?
if you can't with OBS.Live try switching to Studio, there should be an option for it
I'm not home can't check the name of it but should be yeah
dwdw
if i switch to obs studio
can i uninstall obs live
and not mess with anything
yep ohellasara and i are having the EXACT SAME issue
yeah @rugged quail
its identical
if you can/want try reinstalling too
and on a different folder?
đź
i always dismissed it coz i never used it to stream
it was always for recording videos
but i recently decided to stream
and i want an overlay and i cant do that unless i sign in
unless theres another way
perhaps there's something blocking it then
coz i did all the setup on the website but it doesnt show up
Also im using OBS studio already
well, you have to add the overlays to OBS for them to show
then whats with all that customized stuff on teh web client
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 â âShutdown source when not visibleâ https://youtu.be/KDvLynUqXI4
this is how u add them
this one?
yes but don't put those in public please
think I deleted fast đ
oh man, you are also a WF fan
me too, am a partner đ
I switched to obs studio then i uninstalled obs live,
beyond that, the rest ok?
then reinstalled the obs live and restarted and its all working
@quasi snow added that to my scene but nada
can you show me the url but in a private msg please?
where is the doc for activity feed?
should be under docks or StreamElements menu in OBS.Live
Hey i was just wondering is it possible to import my settings from slobs?
In OBS.Live there is in the StreamElements tab at the top a category to import assets.
allrighty then, cheers
@rugged quail can you share a SS of your Obs ?
already check the Hardware Acceleration option, right?
where?
@rugged quail OBS -> settings -> advanced -> scroll down -> enable/disable hardware accel.
https://i.imgur.com/ggMe9ZE.png
its on
ok the last thing i cant find anymore is the twitch stats
@honest echo do i need it off?
try to turn it off
that should not affect it đ
it looks like the docs moved. so im having trouble finding the twitch stats
you can see all the docks availables on the Menu StreamElements, on OBS
some are under docs under view and some are under stream elements
ok but i dont see twitch stats at all
the settings whre you can change your stream title and game etc
that can be done via activity feed
@honest echo For the stream chat.. any way to not have it be a white box? like have a background pic or like transparent?
maybe check this widget :

Hello
I am currently having an issue with OBS and StreamElements Alerts, I deleted them and re-created a new overlay through SE, now when put them into a browser source they do not work at all, I've tried pre-built ones, custom etc and when click follow there just not displaying, may I ask does anyone know the fix?
It works in launcher of SE, but not on OBS.
@hidden mural 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
Yeah I have done and it doesn't display in OBS.
The issue only started doing it today. đŠ
@hidden mural Make sure the "Show Emulated events on stream" option is check

Hey, so I've been at it for about an hour and can't seem to find a reason to why it's not working
My desktop audio isn't reacting at all in obslive, I have checked so that the settings match with what I'm using and I've made sure to reinstall the software just in case.
Tried a bunch of more things but nothing, would appreciate some help đ
@dawn lynx Have you check the audio options on OBS, Settings > Audio
@honest echo yes, I've tried the different options and none of them work
The weird thing is it was working last time I used it and I hadn't touched the settings at all
Hey! Anyone here uses Restream? I'm using it and would like to share some ideas (sry if wrong room)
@dawn lynx For the best OBS support, please join their Official Discord @ discord.gg/obsproject

obs crashed so hard last night during my stream that i had to hit the power button on my pc to get it to shut down. Couldn't save a log, cuz it wouldn't barely let me alt tab. Mouse wouldn't click on anything either. =/ Wish I had a log for ya so I can figure it out. It crashes every few days it seems on my gaming pc, and all my gaming pc is doing is projecting my game to my av.io for capture on my streaming pc.
i am struggling with editing overlays. pls help
What do you need help with exactly?

Hello Guys, anybody maybe get issues with obs live after patch today ? My normal stream FULL HD 60FPS now running in 60fps and going constantly down till 25. I didnt change anything in options just download patch. Help pls
@rocky cypress 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.
And...
@rocky cypress 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+)
@rocky cypress Start by disabling Browser Source Hardware Acceleration in Settings>Advanced and then follow the remaining instructions in the link under your 40% encoder overload:

i have capture device and audio set up. it's connected to my twitch. when i hit start streaming i get invalid path or connection url
Check your settings in Settings>Stream. And then delete them and redo them anyway.
Not sure if possible, but I have a video that I play at the start of my stream, is there a way to make it switch to another screen once it ends? Instead of me manually clicking the other source
Not that I'm aware of.
if video is short you may be able to save as a transition
Ok thanks, and itâs 4 minutes long
I might be able to add the scene as a still shot at the end of the video
@onyx musk 1) Restart OBS

seeing how a lot of people are having problems with the update today, should I update or wait?
Yes
Yes
đ
yes to wait
^thank you
I personally have not had any issues with the latest version, but the experiences people are having recently would caution against the update
yeah was seeing that, so I'm gonna hold off. Thank you both
Iâve had it installed since Monday and it runs smooth for me on my setup, but I also reinstalled everything from scratch 2 weeks ago
I was having an issue with windows bloat
@kindred fox going to stream just to YouTube tonight to see if Iâm still 10seconds behind with sound delay. Any tips on settings if it is ?
It depends. If your webcam is a few seconds behind your audio youâll need to add an async filter to your webcam to adjust the delay iirc
If the stream delay is between what you say and when itâs said on your stream, thatâs normal due to the delay the ingest servers have for processing your stream
And running through restream will introduce more latency because youâre sending it to one service which then has to process and transmit to two or three platforms
Thatâs how the internet works
Itâs when I see me shooting my weapon to when it actually sounds start. Itâs 10 seconds
Are you using a capture card?
Yes. HD60 S +
That should be almost 0 latency
Iâd ask elgato in their discord
You have it plugged into a usb 3.0 port right?
I think that ones USB-C even
It is USB -C and yes. 3.0
Sounds good. Thank you.
Theyâd be better at getting that delay down
I appreciate your help
New to streaming.. how to you name/title your stream before streaming from obs.live?
@warped wasp if you're asking how to change it, you can do it from the dashboard of twitch, or via theActivity Feed (click on the menu = )
why is obs not waorking
what happens when you try to launch it
@hollow siren Please provide a log from your last stream. To do this, in OBS go to Help > Log Files > Upload Last Log File and paste the link to the log file here.
My alert box isn't appearing when I test it in the editor and after resetting my token now it shows the homepage for stream elements in the browser source, hep.
@shrewd lintel 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
Make sure the "Show Emulated events on stream" option is on to see the alert in OBS
where do I find that?
I've never had any issues with OBS Live until this update
Because you reset your token. You should not do that unless advised.
You now need to recopy all of your overlay links, as they've changed.
so take the new browser links and add as sources?
@shrewd lintel 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 â âShutdown source when not visibleâ https://youtu.be/KDvLynUqXI4
Ok I think I fixed it, thanks everyone
So what's with this update causing my OBS live to use so much of my CPU, it was fine prior to this
can you not disable the preview/program option in obslive?
@versed pagoda Due to a recent change from Twitch API, these features are affected by the change:
- Ground Control does not have Custom Bot Name
- Subscriber count will count the Channel and any other permanent sub you may have (+1 or +2 or +3 on top).
We are working on fixing both issues, but there is no ETA.
OBS.Live still has Custom Bot name working fine in it.
so its just a bug
It's Twitch messing around with their API and we trying to play catch up, yes
They've become rather notorious for sudden, unannounced changes that break everyone's stuff.
Guys, I'm really very confused. Why is when I add a browser source to OBS and I match the height / width of the widget, nothing shows in it? But does on the editor online?
Hi! So, I'm trying to stream on Twitch and my settings are set up for twitch streaming, but when I hit the start Streaming button, the stream on mixer box keep coming up.
@charred notch Streamelements on top of OBS -> Logout -> login
@frigid prawn What are you expecting to see? If you're adding your alerts overlay, obviously nothing will appear unless an alert is currently playing.
@tulip hamlet It's an alert overlay but when I test the alert.. it doesn't appear
@frigid prawn 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
It does however appear on SE editor
I have the same as you hero, they were working before the update now when testing alerts nothing shows up in the obs window
