Ok thanks, appreciate the help, will give it a try tomorrow when im at my setup. Thanks again!

spiral wigeon
#

is there anyway to fix this bugg without having to use default global settings on 3d settings? have default on my obs but as soon as I change global settings it does this...

steel bladeBOT
#

@spiral wigeon Please follow these steps:
close OBS,
open the Nvidia Control Panel,
in the left menu select "manage 3D settings" and then under the list of options (right panel) press "restore default settings",
Start OBS again.

spiral wigeon
#

exactly what I said

#

everytime I change my 3d settings it does it

#

even if I have changed the OBS program settings to the default

#

but I dont want my global 3d settings on default

shy mountain
#

what are you changing there?

spiral wigeon
#

nothing that should do that stuff lmao

#

dunno whats wrong with the program

#

only program in the world that does this

shy mountain
#

Ok, then use the default settings if its nothing

#

What setting are you changing there?

#

If you tell me that I will try and reproduce on my PC

#

and give this info to our QA and devs to take a look

#

if its obs.live exclusive or obs studio exclusive

spiral wigeon
#

but I have changed my OBS program so I have the default ones and not these, which is weird why its doing it anyway

shy mountain
#

What is your driver version?

spiral wigeon
#

442.50

shy mountain
#

time for me to update my drivers i guess

#

cuz i dont have that image sharpening option

spiral wigeon
#

think it depends on what gpu you have

#

didnt have it on my old one

shy mountain
#

Interesting - changed to match as much as possible before updating my drivers

#

and its not happening

spiral wigeon
#

so something to do with newer drivers then?

shy mountain
#

updating atm

#

in the mean time, please do this:
Streamelements on top -> report issue
Make sure to include:

  • my name
  • issue
  • what you did to get the issue
  • can you reproduce it
  • driver version
  • IP Addres
  • time of the issue + your current time zone
#

and i'll poke the devs to take a look at the report card

spiral wigeon
#

Okay will do that!

#

I find it really strange it does this even though I have obs on the standard settings on program settings.

shy mountain
#

It was driver thing - now i see the image sharpening option

spiral wigeon
#

aah I see

shy mountain
#

i right away found the issue

#

its the image sharpening

#

welp time to update the command it if holds true for others as well

spiral wigeon
#

aaah yeah

#

But if i have sharpening off on my OBS studio program settings. Shouldn't it be off then?

barren quarry
#

How do I get the alerts menu + the go live menu. It used to be on my OBS but it's not there anymore?

shy mountain
#

alerts menu?

#

you mean activity feed?

#

Streamelements on top -> activity feed

barren quarry
#

yeah i guess lol, the thing that shows who followed/subbed or whatever

#

Oh yeah nice! What about the go live menu where you can choose stream title and game and such

shy mountain
barren quarry
#

There used to be a different menu. Where you can choose tags, and go live notification message and loads more

shy mountain
#

View -> Docks -> stream info or stream something i think it was

barren quarry
#

yeah it was something like that, I don't see it there no more though. I have everything ticked that is there already

steel bladeBOT
#

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

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

Just did that, it's still not there hmm

shy mountain
#

that was fast

jade gazelle
#

So I was wondering, if my overlays and custom stuff I had made won’t fit into StreamElements files uploader, then I’ll have to workaround it through doing half OBS, half StreamElements wont I? Because I’m sure I can’t shrink the file size to make it all fit

barren quarry
#

Yup it's already connected

shy mountain
#

@jade gazelle If its graphics you are referring to, you can load them as image sources in obs

barren quarry
#

and I only just downloaded OBS an hour ago, so I know it's latest and it was closed already. Takes 2 seconds to delete a file and open again haha

shy mountain
#

well some people take longer to realize how to open %appdata%\obs-studio\plugin_config\obs-browser\obs_profile_cookies

jade gazelle
#

Well no @shy mountain I was hoping to add everything through StreamElements overlay to use an all in one solution but since the file sizes are too big looks like I’ll have to kind of use both to make it work. Unless there is a way to change file size to fit

shy mountain
#

Thats up to you to shrink it in a way that fits the 30mb limit

#

@barren quarry I had to just reinstall my OBS(Studio and obs.live) trying to reproduce something for the devs and i managed to connect my account and get the docks

#

so most likely the cookie is still lingering

barren quarry
#

ahh really hmm ill search for it again

#

😦 there was a cookie there again, deleted it, but still dind't work

jagged wadi
#

Is there anyway to lower the quality of the youtube videos in media request? it's killing my frames. BibleThump

subtle crater
#

Anyone can tell me how to fix obs.live overlay editor? I get this error: Uh-oh... Invalid authorization token.. but the URL and token is valid/OK.. Website editor trough the Firefox work correctly.. OBS didnt.

#

sorry for my sux english 😄

steel bladeBOT
#

@subtle crater Streamelements on top of OBS -> Logout -> login

kindred fox
subtle crater
#

@steel blade Oh, thank you.. how i miss that? Im looking for reconnect but didnt see:D Thanks

kindred fox
#

@spiral wagon Try this and see if Media Request works again:

2) Open OBS(or restart if it was open)
3) Open your browser and type in "localhost:40404"
4) Click StreamElements - Media request link
5) Point the (in browser) URL to https://youtube.com
6) Use the OBS dock to search for a song and play it after ads
7) Restart OBS and preform media request via chat
8) Remove --remote-debugging-port=40404 from shortcut```

hello there, i a, planning to also start streaming on Facebook as I also stream on Twitch (I am aware that i cannot stream on both at the same time). But my question is do i need to log in as Facebook on Streamelements website or i could use same Twitch acc?(casue I have all set up as overlays, alerts and all for Twitch)

kindred fox
#

@lilac heart log in with twitch account, then click your profile picture >> settings >> scroll down and add your Facebook account

lilac heart
#

nice I will try. thanks

kindred fox
#

You can add all your channels from there

wanton brook
#

Hey peeps! Anyone know why StreamElements addon to StreamDeck cant be installed? or is it only me?

steel bladeBOT
#

@wanton brook - Open %appdata%\Elgato\StreamDeck\Plugins

  • Delete the com.streamelements.obslive.sd plugin folder
wanton brook
#

Wonderful SEheart

quasi snow
#

@jagged wadi yes, close obs then go to youtube, load any video and choose the bitrate/resolution you want, obs/media request will take those settings

glass burrow
#

Tryong to change name of stream video without shutting down the video on mixer. How do I change it while I am live?

jovial badger
#

hello , i've a mini problem since today , someone can help me ?

#

(the dock with thing like name of the game , description and so on aren't here anymore :/ )

quasi snow
#

jovial badger
#

no every dock are ticked except "statistic" and "scene transition"

#

idk why but my dock is just gone

steel bladeBOT
#

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

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

but what i'll lost after deleting this file ?

quasi snow
#

nothing is lost

jovial badger
#

ok

#

i'll try that thx

#

ah i'm not sure but i've maybe got this issue some month ago and the answer was the dock itself wasn't in the french version (if i remember well)

#

i'll try change language

#

hum nope

quasi snow
#

deleting cookies didn't work?

jovial badger
#

i didnt try yet , i'll now

quasi snow
#

make sure obs is not open

jovial badger
#

i delette the folder or the content ?

#

yes it's closed

quasi snow
#

the contents of the folder

jovial badger
#

ok

#

i make a backup somewhere

#

just in case

quasi snow
#

yeah was going to say that hehe

jovial badger
#

haha

#

hum nothing new

#

except my tchat turned white

#

quasi snow
#

strange, well copy everything back then

jovial badger
#

ok

#

it didnt even create a new folder "obs profile cookie"

#

it's still empty even after refresh

#

strange

#

and the tchat is still white lol but it's not a big issue for now

#

ok white tchat fixed

jovial badger
#

it's cuz add-on i wasn't on the defaut setting window by defaut

#

so dark mode wasn't in the list

#

ok i'll see later i going to stream

#

have a nice day and thx for help

quasi snow
#

if I know how to sort it I'll let you know, have a good stream

jovial badger
#

thx you

raw moss
#

I everyone. I have a problem with my alerts not making any noise. On the stream they come through fine, but I can't hear them myself. When I'm editing the overlays and doing tests, they work fine, but when I'm actually streaming I hear nothing. What's up with that?

quasi snow
#

you are just outputting it not both, check option on the source on OBS

raw moss
#

I have the source set to "control audio via OBS"

#

and it's set to the right channels

quasi snow
#

yes and select also, monitor and output

#

not just output or just monitor

raw moss
#

Ah! I see it. I'd missed that. Thank you!

quasi snow
#

you're welcome 🙂

worn oracle
#

hey guys i hope your all good, starting tomorrow im going to be doing 2 charity streams a week so i was wondering if there is a way i can get an alert to show during my stream for whenever someone donates to the charity?

odd kraken
#

For tiltify and extralife there are alertboxes you can use.

worn oracle
#

ok do you know if there is anything for justgiving?

analog ivy
#

Hey everyone. How long does it usually take for an account to get closed after a request has been sent?

odd kraken
#

@worn oracle Not that I am aware of.

hidden edge
#

question, on obslive, how do i fix the delay my viewers are having in the settings?

kindred fox
#

The delay between what you do on your end and what they see on their end? What platform are you streaming to?

hidden edge
#

twitter

#

sorry twitch

steel mural
#

There's always some delay. Have you already enabled the low latency mode on twitch? Because there's nothing you can do on OBS' side

hidden edge
#

reports from my views range from 4 seconds all the way too 20 sec

#

ahh kk ty i will look into that then XD

steel mural
#

It can go as low as one second. Without the low latency mode you're around 5-10 seconds. And people on mobile or bad internet tend to get way more latency so there's not much you can do

hidden edge
#

oh kewl that makes more sense ty

strong oracle
#

Hey, is anybody available to assist me with mediashare?

steel bladeBOT

@strong oracle 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.

vagrant trench
#

after update my media request window is empty as in blank with nothing showing is there a way to correct this? have restarted several times, do not have media request going in a browser or any other location

steel bladeBOT
#

@vagrant trench Streamelements on top of OBS -> Logout -> login

mellow snow
#

is there a way to make sure media request is playing the HD version? My audio is absolutely terrible. Well it sounds fine playing on the computer but once I stream, twitch or rtmp it sounds like a 32/kb file

#

like im listening on am radio or something

short dragon
#

Hello I was wondering if there was a way to always have the Kappagen widget always active. I notice every time after lots of emote spamming it stops working. Any way to fix this so I don’t have to keep refresh it every time?

spiral wagon
#

Thank you @kindred fox the problem was solved doing the last suggestion, it was YouTube wanting to do a bot check.

winter wraith
#

Hi! So I bootcamped my MacBook Pro (yes I know it’s not the best streaming device but I only own Macs at the moment.)

#

I have OBS Live running. When I add a video capture, it sees my HD60s but the screen is black.

#

Is there a particular driver I need to download to get it to work?

wary dew
winter wraith
#

That didn’t resolve it. The solution might be a bit different for me since I’m on MacOS running a bootcamp. I followed the instructions in the link but still have a black screen.

steel bladeBOT
kindred fox
#

@winter wraith install game capture HD from the elgato website

#

And maybe 4K capture

#

I install both just in case

#

Sorry I’m late to the party

cobalt fiber
#

I cant seem to get my credit roll to show the info such as subs bits raids etc. Any help would be appreciated

naive silo
#

I have a question: Streaming the new Warzone but it's making my stream glitch, freeze and lag a ton, but doesnt do this with regular COD or PUBG... These are my output settings

PC Specs: Ryzen 2600x | RX 580 | 16GB RAM 3200
I keep having to close my stream...

steel bladeBOT
#

@naive silo 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.

odd kraken
#

@cobalt fiber You need to have session data to be shown, if there happened nothing, nothing is shown. Also make sure the overlay with the credit roll is set to "shutdown when not visible" in the browser source settings.

cobalt fiber
#

yah i def did had bits and raids in that stream but lemme look at the shutdown

#

alright i didnt click it i guess it wont leme know if it works till next stream

#

ty

winter wraith
#

@kindred fox Thanks! I already had those downloaded. After hours of troubleshooting I finally decided to unplug the entire thing and walk away.😂Came back just now and it is miraculously working. Proof that turning things off and rebooting works. (Spoke too soon. Black screen is back. I give up for the day.)

naive silo
karmic oar
#

Hi Chat - Not really sure where to put this as it's related to overlays, but I'm having an issue when duplicating an overlay... I'm noticing the URL for it is the same as the original. So while I have a duplicate of the overlay, when I plug the URL into OBS.Live, both are pointing to the same overlay. Thoughts?

odd kraken
#

Take a look at the urls closely, they are most likely not the same.
Make sure you add the correct one to your OBS.

naive silo
#

?

tulip hamlet
#

@naive silo Please read the bot instructions carefully and provide a URL, not a file.

naive silo
#

how do i get the url

tulip hamlet
#

Read the bot instructions carefully.

naive silo
#

my bad

#

also what’s the recommended bitrate i should be at if i have 500/400 down and up

tulip hamlet
naive silo
#

okay i did.

#

i have bit rate at 3000 is that good?

tulip hamlet
#

That's low.

naive silo
#

what should i put it at

#

sorry idk how to tell what to put it at

#

i tried 6000 but would make my stream lag and freeze

tulip hamlet
#

Increase and test until you find a good spot.

naive silo
#

kk one more question. do i set both the same bitrate in streaming and recording under output?

#

and cpu usage at super fast?

tulip hamlet
#

We can't advise you on settings. It's all about testing and testing and more testing.

kindred fox
#

Also run obs as administrator

#

That will also help a tiny bit

rugged quail
#

@tulip hamlet Thanks for the quick response on Twitter

tulip hamlet
#

@rugged quail 🙂

#

Feel free to provide a log and we can take a look.

steel bladeBOT
#

@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.

rugged quail
#

I am having an issue with the OBS Live (OBS Program) constantly disconnecting on me

rugged quail
#

Hmmm odd

#

Never have issues with our internet over here and was doing just fine earlier. I appreciate the input. Time to do a couple of things and see if I can get back on track to greatness 🙂 Thanks mate

tulip hamlet
#

No problem. 🙂

rugged quail
#

It has got to just be my internet acting up today. I have never had this problem. StreamElements ALWAYS runs smooth and provides me top notch streaming quality. This has GOT to be the internet.

#

Going to reset, also did a couple things in one of those articles. Minor settings to help out the best as possible. Thanks again

tulip hamlet
rugged quail
#

Ok I have done the few things it has stated in the article and reset the internet and it is still disconnecting ... Hmmmm

#

Maybe try a different ingest server.

rugged quail
#

That is this last log. I am not quite sure what you mean by a "different ingest server"

rugged quail
#

I am relatively new to the stream world

#

Could the excessive frame drop be due to my Animated Overlay ?

tulip hamlet
#

No, this is strictly connection issues.

#

You can choose your ingest server manually.

rugged quail
#

Ok I just realized in that last link you sent me that Screen and game captures should as well not be in the same area? So I deleted an extra one

#

Ok let me try that. Shall I click "Auto recommended"

tulip hamlet
#

If it's already set to that, try picking manually.

rugged quail
#

Ok thanks

#

So it could be a connection issue with whatever server that OBS is connecting too. Makes sense. Especially considering this is the first time ever I have had this issue. As a noob... All I can think about is... My GPU.. My GPU... MY GPU! lol

tulip hamlet
#

Definitely not your GPU in this case. It'd say so.

#

The analyzer isn't shy. 😛

rugged quail
#

Lol thanks again. Running a $400 hobby build from a Facebook dude with parts missing after purchase (finding out later through my community)... Yea. This stuff scares me lol

#

The Analyzer apparently is not. Glad I joined in here. Thanks again. Connecting to a closer server to me. Hoping all works.

#

...spoke too soon... still disconnecting... hoping OBS isnt having server issues

tulip hamlet
#

OBS itself doesn't have server issues.

#

It doesn't have servers.

#

It's a tool to connect to servers.

rugged quail
#

Ooooh gotcha. Okay well still having these issues. Going to try to reconnect to a few different ones and cross my fingers. Everything else runs fine, my game is flawless, overlay is running GREAT (just did a 10 hour stream earlier).. Now this 😦 <~~ Epic Sad Face

tulip hamlet
edgy grove
#

So my media request is giving me this image on every single song but if I use the website it works won't show on stream though

kindred fox
#

Follow those steps

rugged quail
#

Ok. I know I am a bit of a PITA... But could any of this be causing these excessive drops out of nowhere? Out internet tests and all are coming back just fine.

fallen shell
#

Yeah i am having the same issue all of the sudden

#

i did just update RTX2060 Drivers

rugged quail
#

Ok so it's not just me. It kinda hurts... Killing the average right now lol

fallen shell
#

as soon as i started streaming i was dropping frames nonstop not sure if the driver update caused this.

steel bladeBOT
#

@fallen shell 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.

fallen shell
steel bladeBOT
#

@fallen shell 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+)

edgy grove
#

awesome thanks guys!

rugged quail
#

Welp. Guess tonight is my night to take a break 😂 OBS does not want to cooperate, I have done everything on the articles to make it work. Nothing is working. Internet tests are VERY FAST, router has been reset, no updates available, even switched to my newer ethernet cord lol

tulip hamlet
#

Did you check out the tester I linked?

rugged quail
#

I did not. That stuff confuses the ever loving hell out of me lol. I am VERY new to PC. All of this is new to me

fallen shell
#

it takes almost 2mins just for it to stop. im getting another log file.

tulip hamlet
#

You just install it and run it, and it'll tell you which servers give you the best results.

fallen shell
tulip hamlet
rugged quail
#

Ok I just installed and opened it. I will run it but I am not sure what is going on

tulip hamlet
#

Screenshot the window when it's finished.

fallen shell
#

has to be the gpu driver update then.

rugged quail
#

Am running it now through NA servers

#

Man this is taking a bit. Just got half way

tulip hamlet
#

Yup, it takes a hot minute.

rugged quail
#

It seems the lowest Bandwidth (per kbps) is Ashburn, VA .... But OBS does not let me manually connect to that

#

So far anyway

tulip hamlet
#

You don't want low.

#

Look for quality above 80.

rugged quail
#

Ahhh

#

See 😂 I don't know the good from bad when it comes to any of that

#

<~~ Epic Noob

tulip hamlet
#

Thaaaat's not good.

rugged quail
#

And havent had an issue until tonight

tulip hamlet
#

I'd recommend contacting your ISP. Speed tests don't test a single connection from one point to the other but tries to show you the maximum possible with multiple connections.

rugged quail
#

Nothing but clear, quality streams up until tonight. Everything is running normal

tulip hamlet
#

Those bandwidth numbers are abysmal.

#

You should be seeing things in the mbps, not kbps.

rugged quail
#

I am able to game, with others gaming, and stream no problem

tulip hamlet
#

Not a single one of those connections is capable of maintaining a stream.

rugged quail
#

Yea. I just reached out to my GF's mother who pays for the internet. Apparently she has to schedule an internet payment xD They got us on lock and key right now apparently BAHAHA

tulip hamlet
#

Well there's your problem 😂

rugged quail
#

😂

#

Epic Fail

#

Welp. Game on. No stream. See yall on the flip side. Thanks for your time my dude xD

tulip hamlet
rugged quail
#

I am also having a OBS.live connection issue very similar to @rugged quail

#

There was an OBS live update recently and I think that might have been a potential bug. I was good streaming last night and tonight my bitrate will not stay stable at all.

#

Speedtest and all other connections are fine.

tulip hamlet
#

Your girlfriend's mother also needs to schedule an internet payment?

rugged quail
#

Lol no...

steel bladeBOT
#

@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.

rugged quail
#

I reset the routers as well.

tulip hamlet
#

There's no known bug regarding bitrate.

rugged quail
#

Understood.

#

I'll put in my log files from today as well as my last stable stream (last night).

#

I don't have a saved log from last night I am afraid...

tulip hamlet
rugged quail
#

Hmmm

dense crater
#

Why is my subscriber goal widget not accurate? It says I have 13 subscribers and I only have 2 😔

rugged quail
#

maybe I am having an encoding issue.

#

Thus no bitrate.

#

That is the only other thing I can think of right now.

tulip hamlet
dense crater
#

@tulip hamlet thank you!

junior rain
#

Hello my name is Bliss. Im having an issue right now with OBS.LIVE. Ive been streaming all day and had absolutely no issue till about 8pm EST and my bitrate totally shat itself and dropped to 0. No matter what i do, it stays at 0. I then noticed that some internet things were acting up too so i restarted everything, pc, ps4, and modem. Still no fix to internet. Called ATT and they restarted modem for me on their end and internet is now fixed and all of that works fine. I have 900+upload and 900+download. My bitrate is at 8k and its been at 8k for months with absolutely no issue until today.
I start stream and almost instantly drops to 0 with the red block. My community is getting the going live notification BUT twitch doesnt show anything because of how unstable it is.

kindred fox
#

@junior rain who is your ISP?

#

AT&T?

junior rain
#

ATT. Like i said i called and they made me do those weird ass things like restart stuff as if i havent done so already lol

kindred fox
#

They’re about fucked right now

#

It’s not you, it’s them

#

Not surprised

junior rain
#

So i can play Warzone with no lag whatsoever but just not stream?

kindred fox
#

Probably

#

One sec

junior rain
#

Stream key....? safe?

kindred fox
#

You paste it in so it can test to twitch

#

When you screenshot it should be asterisks

#

Like that ^^

#

Click the little “Get key” link and it should take you to twitch to get it and then let you test

rugged quail
#

I also have ATT.

junior rain
#

I have failed most of them in North America.... lol rip

kindred fox
#

Yep

#

AT&T is having issues

junior rain
#

So i guess just give them time is all we can do

kindred fox
#

Call and demand a discount off your bill 😉

#

You’re paying for service you aren’t getting

rugged quail
#

No Joke LUL

junior rain
#

Real. Im calling. They said i get an upgraded modem for free. Im aiming for a free month lol

rugged quail
#

I am just glad it is them, not me.

kindred fox
#

Don’t tel them you make money on twitch, just complain that you’re paying for service you aren’t getting

junior rain
kindred fox
#

Yeah..........

#

That’s no bueno

#

And there isn’t anything you can do until they figure out who coughed on a router

rugged quail
#

@kindred fox 😂

junior rain
#

I called and they said they are having no issue on their end. Could it be Twitch? I mean with everyone playing Warzone i can see that being possible i guess

kindred fox
#

It’s not twitch

#

It’s definitely AT&T

rugged quail
#

My router has corona. I figured out the issue. Apparently we are upgrading our internet and the internet guys were out this weekend, but could not complete the job due to no lines for their company running to our house. So they are coming out sometime this week to run new lines. For the time being, we are on LOW LOW internet until that is done. Enough to play and everything just fine, just wont stream

#

So gives me a few days maybe to "GIT GUD!"

kindred fox
#

Lol

SO, I'm having issues with just simply adding a display capture. It just kind of shows up as a black box. The cursor shows up, but that's about all. I'm using DX 11 on Windows 10.

tulip hamlet
#

Laptop?

clever kindle
#

yes

steel bladeBOT
#

@clever kindle 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 laptop’s high performance GPU (default); for Display Capture, your system must be configured to run OBS on your laptop’s 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

Hello, I currently lost my streamelements chat, I've tried enabling and disabling chat but I still cannot read my chat!

so i dont see my scenes on obs.live they still do work but the space is empty? any ideas how to fix?

shy mountain
#

Can you elaborate with a screenshot of what you see and what you are should be seeing?

fallow root

nevermind somehow activity feed was on top of them

yeah why does it always solve itself when you ask the question after trying to figure it out byself for like 15 minutes 😄

I am having problems opening my overlay on the website, even a hard refresh doesn't help.

odd kraken
#

What browser are you using? What do you see when you open the editor to edit the overlays?

neon trellis
#

I use google chrome

odd kraken
#

What do you see when you try to access the editor? Do you have a screenshot?

neon trellis
#

Screenshot of what exactly?

odd kraken
#

when you open the overlay on the website. The part you are having problems with.

neon trellis
#

When I open the overlay to edit it, it just shows a white screen

odd kraken
#

Clear your cache and cookies and disable any adblock and any firewall.

neon trellis
#

Ok going to try that

#

I am still having the same issue :/

shy mountain
#

screenshot of what you see

#

Thats basically the overlay opened in a tab

#

the CS overlay is practically empty - no widget, no labels, nothing
the forza overlay just has an alert widget in it - its not suppose to show anything until an event comes in

neon trellis
#

Oh ok then, didnt know that, I know that when I was doing it like a year ago a page popped up when I just could edit anything in

Sorry

Hello

#

Can some1 help me?

#

I stream on twitch on console how do i use obs live and do overlays?

odd kraken
#

Please do not ask in multiple channels.
Do you have a PC and a capture card?

rugged quail
#

I have a pc

#

But i stream on console

odd kraken
#

Ps4 or Xbox?

#

Consoles on its own canot use overlays, you would need to use a capture card and stream from your PC and get the screen from your console to your PC via a capture card or screen share programs.

rugged quail
#

Ps4

#

Ohk ty

prisma seal
#

How do I check known build issues please? is there a community forum I can join?

shy mountain
#

This is the community forum.

#

What are you looking for to confirm if its a known issue?

prisma seal
#

oh. ok. Back-up to cloud with "include scene collections content"selected hasn't works for me since release. Last time I checked it was being looked into. Thanks

shy mountain
#

Which step hasn't been working?

#

making the backup or getting the backup?

prisma seal
#

making the back up.

shy mountain
#

Do you get an error?

prisma seal
#

Is there really not a forum? This was all documented last time I highlighted

shy mountain
#

I'm trying to confirm the issue and what is the cause of it.

#

If you are looking for a webpage forum like the old phpbb forums, we don't have such a thing.

#

As for previous time you reported it - it was on 1st January - thats a long time ago, getting the current information right now is best

prisma seal
#

ok. Back-up works fine both ways with "content" unticked. Back-up does not work for making the back-up if "content" is ticked. There is no error displayed on screen. OBS becomes unresponsive and has to be closed via task manager.

#

Thank you

shy mountain
#

current OBS Studio version(top left) and current OBS.live version (bottom right)

prisma seal
#

that is 24.0.3 top left and 20.2.28.571 bottom right

shy mountain
#

So about that content - do you have any image or media sources that point towards local files?

prisma seal
#

I have 3 Scenes, S1 has 1 local image, s1 has 2 local images and a webm, s3 has 3 local files. all 3 has 5 browers sources. I tired without the local files thinking the upload size my have a small limit but got the same result.

#

*images on s3

shy mountain
#

it has a limit of 100mb for the total size of the backup

#

Restart OBS

prisma seal
#

ok I should be under that limit

shy mountain
#

and start a backup right now

#

when it hands, shutdown OBS, and then go to the logs folder

prisma seal
#

ok one second

shy mountain
#

and let me take a look at the last 3 log files

#

to open the logs folder -> Help -> log file -> Show Log Files

#

directly upload here

prisma seal
#

ok I think i might have found something. there is a .avi nested in my browser source scene that I somehow missed. just removing it now

shy mountain
#

.avi in a browser source? Thonk

#

as in a browser link to an .avi?

prisma seal
#

no, so I have a scene that holds all my browsers sources. its an unusual workflow but its really handy. there was a local .avi that should not have been in there. i didnt check for local files in there when I did my other test

#

its way over the 100mb limit... im an iodiot

#

idiot

shy mountain
#

interesting that it didn't give you a network error though

#

as usually that is the error you'd get

prisma seal
#

Yeah that is weird. do you want to see the log to confirm or will that just be wasting your time?

shy mountain
#

Is it working now after you remove the .avi source?

#

if yes - no need for logs 🙂

prisma seal
#

It is working. It was all my fault 🥺

shy mountain
#

The logs will just show me where it got stuck on most likely and most likely get to the same conclusion 😉

#

And this si the reason we prefer discord over any other means of support, due to live 1on1 sessions like these were we troubleshoot

#

until the issue is persistent, we can reproduce, report to QA and then to Devs to fix 😉

prisma seal
#

Yeah your right. I like to read other peoples issues and figure things out but this was quicker

shy mountain
#

CTRL + F in the current selected discord channel opens the search for the specific channel and then you can use keywords to find previous cases

prisma seal
#

Handy. Thanks for your help @shy mountain I'm gonna go see if I can compress that avi now yogevGood

the overlays are always active regardless if you are live or not

I think you mean offline image, that is defined on twitch

I do yeah

#

Given I have an overlay. How would I get a photo of it

Just screenshot?

twitch dashboard > preferences > channel

yeah

look for Video Player Banner

Okay. Got that. Guess I just need to screenshot my overlay then

yeah unless u want to leave ur pc streaming 24/7 with it

might be a bit much

😄

mossy pendant
#

Slight problem though. When I preview my overlay. It is too big for my screen. Even when i full screen chrome

is it an overlay or just an image?

an overlay. im unsure how to make it an image or if thats even possible

@rugged quail View Docks Scene Transitions

#

View menu >> Docks >> Scene Transitions

#

That one is under Activity feed

#

in the hamburger menu

#

Otherwise I believe it's View Menu >> Docks >> Stream Information

#

There's only 3. Media Request, Activity Feed, and Chat. There is no 4th one

#

if you Click on the StreamElements Menu item you can see what is available via the plug-in

#

That panel isn't enabled by default

#

when you go live, you will see it under the View menu

#

Make sure your Twitch account is connected in OBS Settings >> Stream, and you should be able to add it via the View Menu >> Docks >> Stream Information. Any panels that are located under the VIEW menu are default OBS Studio panels and not activated by default when running the OBS.Live plug-in

toxic fern
#

That is natively available within OBS as long as you have a properly connected account.

#

And he answered you.

#

Then disconnect and reconnect in obs settings > stream.

#

No. Connect with account.

#

And why are you using an older version of OBS?

#

In that case simply disconnect and reconnect with your account.

#

That's all you need to do.

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

Hello OBS.Live Help Desk :)

The activity feed in OBS.Live 24.0.3 says "Session Expired" and the only option I have to reconnect is via Twitch. But I've been streaming on Facebook with no problems until now. Since that "session expired", the chat no longer updates as well in OBS. The chat does update in the stream itself though. Alerts are working in stream as well.

I have logged in and out of StreamElements in Chrome as well. Can we DM so I can send screenshots?

Thanks!

The dynamic bitrate will as that is the main thing that uses rhe ulpload during streaming

To me its set up 100%.

the 'system' sounds (window default), output through B2(vm Aux), which is my channel in through OBS.

The weird bit seems to be in the recordings where 3 tracks have the audio...

I'll continue to mute indiviual tracks and see if I can work out which ones are ghosting. The odd bit it only one audio bar in OBS moves....

Hello everyone! (not tagging everyone this time, I'm learning XD)
I'm having a problem with the alerts, hosts' alert in particulars. Every other alert is working as it should, except when they host me and no alert is showed or heard. I read that it is due to the activity feed that must be opened somewhere but mine is always opened and the alert never worked.
What should I do?

steel bladeBOT
#

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

  • All hosts coming from an online channel with at least 1+ viewer
  • Auto host events with at least 1 viewer - only from a channel that just went offline
    Note: If you see "X channel has hosted you" with no viewers on the back, that is considered an offline host or a host with 0 viewers, we do not show these.
    Note for Mixer streamers: The above 2 filters currently apply for Mixer and we are aware its actually not how Mixer hosts work. We do plan on changing it, but no ETA on when.

Ok so maybe I'm a bit slow but I can't figure something out.. I've been using Xsplit for my streams. I'm currently trying to switch over to OBS. When I copy my link from my overlay into obs my overlay seems oversized.. And I can't get it to fit properly. Like I have my channel name centered at the top of the overlay.. It's currently shifted off to the right side of the window that's up.. Can't quite figure out what I'm doing wrong. Trying to get the overly to fit thr whole window properly.

@cinder ravine 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

cinder ravine
#

ok I think i found some of the issue.. I closed the chat windows and stuff on the right side of the window. Apparently that was obscuring some of the view of what I was trying to look at

#

Didn't realize the twitch windows within OBS were hiding some of the actual image

honest echo
#

@cinder ravine i recommend that you make some recording before go live to see if everything is working fine

cinder ravine
#

Ok next issue.. lol. I opened a game.. I have a game capture source up.. OBS doesn't seem to be picking it up?

honest echo
#

@cinder ravine try windows capture

cinder ravine
#

currently my only sources for this scene.. from top to bottom layer. Overlay, webcam, game capture

#

ok

#

if i double click the game capture under sources to bring up properties it shows the game. However on my actual OBS it isn't showing up

Hey! I just wanted to ask - How do I get multiple Streamelements browser sources into one?

#

For example - I want to do my Event list and Alerts as one

tulip hamlet
#

You don't need to. Just put all of your widgets into a single overlay.

regal maple
#

Howso?

#

Oh wait would I just import like 1 into the other or vice versa?

tulip hamlet

Oh cool beans. Thanks ^^ @tulip hamlet

hey im trying to install the obs live extension for my stream deck but whenever i install it it doesn't do anything.

tulip hamlet
#

Try reinstalling your stream deck software. Not just a repair; full reinstall.

tardy quail
#

just did but it didnt work @tulip hamlet

#

i remember when i did an update last time it said it was a trojan so i uninstalled it temporarily thinking it was a bug

steel bladeBOT
#

@tardy quail - Open %appdata%\Elgato\StreamDeck\Plugins

  • Delete the com.streamelements.obslive.sd plugin folder

so I just finished w/ streaming on my laptop through OBS for the first time. I have a gaming laptop that is fairly decent and supposed to be able to withstand gaming+streaming simultaneously. The stream quality is horrible and OBS shows that I am dropping a ton of frames. Any ideas as to what I may be doing wrong? or if I just need a better computer? Here's a screenshot of my computer specs.

You're not the only one. The other people were probably already live when Twitch started to have this problem.

Hello all I hope im in the correct channel for this. I just opened my Stream elements and noticed that the box where you change the title of your stream is gone. For the life of me I can't remember the name of it , so I cannot get it back. Can someone help me out?

ahhh can someone help me plz screenshot incoming

shy mountain
#

Above you

#

dry prawn
#

oh damn sorry

#

so this is an everyone problem then and nothing i can do? was about to go live now, just got home from work

#

wondering if its time to look for an alternative to OBS tbh since i stream daily and it crashes like 2-3 times a week on me atleast

shy mountain
#

Its not OBS

#

its Twitch

dry prawn
#

i see

shy mountain
#

Its written in the tweet

#

Xsplit and SLOBS also have this issue

dry prawn
#

gotch

#

while I'm here, would you advise me to switch from obs if its randomly crashing on me seemingly without cause?

#

or should i be trying to figure out why its happening

#

i tried reinstall at one point but didnt change a thing

steel bladeBOT
#

@dry prawn 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.

#

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

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

welp i guess i gotta remember to do that, typically I'm more focused on getting stream back up for my viewer tbh

#

sometimes also doesnt give me the option, but i think thats different. stream will drop but obs will remain streaming

shy mountain
#

If OBS closes on its own

#

crash log steps

#

if the stream drops, normal log

dry prawn

thanks for the help cheers

where can i get an overlay for the media request?

odd kraken
#

Add the mediaRequest widget to your active overlay via the overlay editor.

queen cedar
#

i think i'm blind cuz in didn't find an opition tho

odd kraken
#

Check the video in the article.

queen cedar
odd kraken
#

You need to add the widget to your overlay and save that overlay and have it added to your OBS as browser source.

#

where is the widget tho

#

i looked in the website but there was none

So before i was able to have a panel with stream information including being able to change the stream name and tags it recently disapeared idk why can anyone help me out with this issue?

steel bladeBOT
#

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

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

Currently i don't see ob_profile_cookies in the list.

odd kraken
#

Then proceed further with step 4.

nocturne isle
#

Still don't see the stream information tab i have chat and activity feed....

odd kraken
#

Do you see it in View > Docks now?

nocturne isle
#

Yes

odd kraken
#

Then select it to activiate it.

odd kraken
#

Follow the steps the bot listed above again.

queen cedar
#

so, i added the widget

#

but now

#

another problem appeared lol

#

the media player autoplays everytime i change scenes

#

and i have to keep pausing all the time

nocturne isle
#

If only i had the obs_profile_cookies file ....

#

I could follow those steps...

granite vessel
#

why when i wanna do a test stream it gives me an error code and failed to load channel information for twitch?

#

Try to proceed with the following steps.
If that does not help, uninstall OBS.Live and install it again. @nocturne isle

Did that two times already benno.

@queen cedar Are you using OBS.Live MediaRequest dock to control the MediaRequest?

queen cedar
#

yes

#

it keeps replaying the music everytime i change a scene

steel bladeBOT
#

@queen cedar 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

odd kraken
#

Make sure the last option in the bot response is checked.

queen cedar
#

i have 4 scenes yes

#

each scene has 1 overlay

#

and each overlay i added this widget

#

should i remove the widget from all and leave in only one?

odd kraken
#

You can create one overlay only with the MediaRequest widget, add it to OBS as a browser source and the other scenes use the "add existing" feature to add it there.

queen cedar
#

i see

#

this is so big brain really

#

its so much better to use obs live

#

what took me weeks to set everything up on streamlabs

is there a way to edit the green canvas in the editor?

steel bladeBOT
odd kraken
#

@queen cedar You can choose the small pencil next to the overlay name in your overlays section on the website and edit the overay resolution.

#

Is that in the overlay widget?

#

Then reload the overlay Editor and try again.

rugged quail
#

@odd kraken Thank you so much!

queen cedar
#

so

#

it partially solved my problem

#

but the issue is

#

its echoing between my 4 scenes lol

#

Have you removed the widget on all the other overlay scenes which hold your other assets?

Have you removed the widget on all the other overlay scenes which hold your other assets?

Hi, I'm having trouble setting up my custom bot name. I had it working before, but now it seems like it doesn't want to. When I log into the account and click the authorize button, nothing happens. I can't send a test message or anything. I've tried just logging into the account on Twitch to make sure nothing is wrong with the account, and everything seems just fine. Can I get some help with this?

odd kraken
#
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
8) remove the addition you added in step 1
