yes I did that and it will not let me close it
or you just get the installer from here: https://obs.live
restart PC
and use the installer
I have uninstalled both obs and streamelements twice already and it still asked me to update after install
ok will try again
if our installer gives you "cannot modify X file"
just restart your PC
and run the installer
Thanks that helped, what it was trying to do is update in the wrong order lol
Hi! the activity feed is not showing the account that I´m currently using, it´s using another one, how can I change it? (I´ve already changed the account in the settings in ObsLive)
Hello I need help with the OBS because I streamed yesterday but many said my game is too loud and I don't sound good just idk why and other things write me private thank you in advance
and I speak German 🙂
@keen needle #🇩🇪︱deutsch
Don't really need help, a little confused though. For some reason it just pulled up a window telling me that OBS needed to update, and showed the changelogs. I cliked update, then gave me a prompt telling me to click yes or no, im pretty sure i clicked no, (by accident) and OBS is saying there is no update needed.
how do i change my stream name?
Is there a way to stop the Media Request dock from asking me to take a tour?
Hello, I need help someone knows how to create the buttons for Ad ? I guess is a docas ?
Well @velvet aurora If you have the streamdeck in the software you can add to run a ad.
how come i can only have my stream information on my original profile for obs.live?
quick question. Since I don't have any extra monitors to hook my laptop up to I've been using my actual TV by connecting the two by an HDMI cable. I noticed last night that, for whatever reason, when I had my laptop connected to my TV by HDMI cable it severely impacted the FPS, frames missed and skipped frames.
anyone know if there's a reason for that or if I'm completely wrong and don't know what I'm talking about and it was something else entirely?
So I just tried updating and everything just shit the bed
now OBSlive wont uninstall
hello im completely new to the se obs live game and added some custom alert sounds and edited the old alert i got. so when i try the alert onSE it works but in the stream wont come any alert. can someone help me? thanks
Show details so you can have details about issue @celest pike
i get a follower alert when some one refollows my channel, this is only once per stream
@sinful rover did you add it per browser source?
yes @brittle ermine
did you saved it?
yes i clickes save several times
@celest pike is this downloaded from website?
Ran as admin ?
I updated OBS and OBS live qnd when i tried updating OBS live i got an error now it wont work, and it wont uninstall so i can re-install
@celest pike You can provide screenshot of your task manager?
@sinful rover are those "real" alert like if a real person follows you? or are those the test alerts from the website?
those are test alerts, but it appeared on my overlay for "last follower" on stream but the alert itself doesnt appears...
likle "Kossi just followed"
I redownloaded and re-wrote the files. its working now
this time the updats ran flawlessly
Im having an encoder error and everything else crashs like OBS (games, google, discord)
quick question, can I install the obs.live on the new obs 25.0 version?
I had the same issue and ended up doing a clean install of both obs and obs.live
thx
So i am trying to set up media request on obs.live, I skipped the tour back when i first downloaded and now i can't get the widget/overlay on my obs setup, Where can i find the download for the overlay or how can i get it on there?
add the widget in the overlay editor
then inside OBS.Live you can add the Media Request dock by clicking StreamElements in the Menu >> Media Request
awesome, thank you so much
Hello. I'm trying to update obs.live but it keeps crashing. I got to update it before the crash, but when I did, this message pops up.
All my drivers are up to date?
Hi I'm back, I got media request set up and everything on obs now but when I click "Show on stream" the audio is playing twice almost like an echo. I can't figure out where the issue is as it works fine until I press "show on stream" any tips?
@eternal oxide your not hearing it from obslive and the actual stream are you?
No it's repeating twice through obs
hmm,, not sure
so streamelements won't open anymore in edge. It just pulls up a blank page, and My other browsers are already linked to other family member's streams
@static shadow Please use Chrome as the website is more optimised for Chromium browsers such as Brave and Chrome
I just said it's linked to someone else
anyone know how to fix this?? https://discordapp.com/channels/141203863863558144/494513233416421386/690613403177320551
@static shadow you can sign out and sign back in using a different browser
@mellow crater reinstall your gpu drivers over the top
ok
@eternal oxide im getting the same issue now 😐
wait
do you have the overlay editor open @eternal oxide - if so close it
That's what my thought was too but i couldn't find it open anywhere, i closed the app multiple times and reopened it and it still kept happening too
hmmmm....
Make sure your browser sources are all set to “shut down when inactive”
I figured it out! If you click "Control audio via obs" it fixes it. It creates a seperate audio track that seems to fix the echo.
That means your overlays are active in other scenes
@kindred fox sorry for the tag but only got a quick question.
Do you know if obs.live runs on the new 25.0 obs?
still having issues with this countdown widget, already refreshed it and remade it but the font still isn't showing correctly
I will, but it isn’t recommended yet
The version of OBS.Live on OBS Studio 24 is stable
yeah that's the obvious question but yes i did
the screenshot i have is from the link of the source
obvious, but easy to forget x)
doesn't hurt to make sure right
what font is it?
lemon
i even thought it had to be installed on my pc and not only already selectable from the editor
but turns out i had it installed too
so.. for me, the image from your obs is the font Lemon in my editor
enable custom font
did, saved and refreshed but still the same issue
^that was my next suggestion as well.
https://gyazo.com/e7e28c4f4dfb8385b368d17cfa3b9739
^that was my next suggestion as well.
https://gyazo.com/e7e28c4f4dfb8385b368d17cfa3b9739
@wispy tinsel ok this is weird
how do i check which font is this then lmao
that's an interesting problem
ok it's a bigger issue with me
because i changed the font and nothing matches
so the font won't change?
it changes, but on obs it changes to yet again a different font
some fonts i'm trying here work sometimes, but not all the time too
if i refresh the source it loses track of what i choose
and sometimes without refreshing that same font doesn't work
so i don't know the pattern here
hm.. I scrolled thru all google font, could not find anyone similar to the one you want :/
@kindred fox like my lemon or his?
hoovR
but why is the name different to begin with
my lemon looks fat and ugly like the one in the screenshot, it looks nothing like the font you're trying to use
yeah i imagined that was the case when @wispy tinsel told the same thing
yeah i don't think that's an issue that we can resolve here
it's something for the dev team
and i wouldn't know what to report to them since i just now know that's a thing
is this is the font you want?
https://www.dafont.com/lemon.font?text=12345678900
yup, exactly this one
that's what shows up for me whenever i choose lemon on the editor
ok, I will se if I can repliucate
so, installing the font on my pc and restarting my browser I got the same font in the editor
hm, i did that before but it didn't work
still have the same old font in obs...
Looking into if you can add custom css to change it
Noob question here but in OBS.live how do i get the mixer activity feed up? I know wherte it should be but i dont see it as an option under view<docs
have you checked under the tab StreamElements?
@nimble wharf click streamelements in the menu >> log out >> log in with mixer
@heavy oak I'm unable to find a work around.. you will have to change font to one on https://fonts.google.com/ I believe they are supported 🙂
not sure if this is the right tab for this, but my "in game" overlay isn't working? everything else is, but not that one. I've refreshed the cache, refreshed the page in OBS, redone the link in OBS, still nothing
anyone know where to find the url for a browser source for my chat to appear in obs?
Hello, for some reason when I stream and use media request to play something and click "show on stream" I get a duplicate of the sound being played from the media request.
do you have the browser open while obs is open?
@late furnace No it was not open while this occured
prolly have to shut down the source when not visible
we need to shut down the source when not visible or both will play
Sounds good
try this
Make sure to ☑️ “Shutdown source when not visible” for all browser sources (all OBS scenes). If using studio mode, uncheck “Swap Preview/Output scenes After Transitioning.” Also keep in mind that sound can play from any overlay loaded in the browser (editor or launched). https://i.imgur.com/FegZJQS.png https://i.imgur.com/yY0wcFl.png

still having the same issue after reinstalling my driver...
@late furnace Works perfectly, thank you!
You're Welcome 
Howdy meowdy again :)
Recurring issue with yet another update, same error returned. I'll manually kill the process, but this is the second hotfix that this happens with again. Just an FYI
Hello Guys, have a little problem, StreamElements obs not capturing game but Streamlabs is.
@rugged quail obs is runned as admin?
correct
Laptop?
Desktop.
Now its not working for streamlabs aswell.
Just restarted my computer btw
hi. i am having some issues with obs live. when i start my stream it loads it into mixer and not twitch. every time i switch it to twitch the settings goes back to how it was and not sure why. i did a complete reinstall and still not working. any ideas what causing this?
@steep knot Streamelements on top of OBS -> Logout -> login
What seems to be the issue
but when i re watch the clip its choppy
i checked all my recording settings and everything should be ok
but i cant figure it out
Are you recording to an ssd or a hard drive?
Where are your recordings saved? The ssd or the hdd?
And can you screenshot your recording settings in obs?
Nope. Screenshots are fine
@coarse patio Please provide a proper screenshot with the issue visible. If not sure how to take a screenshot, you can check here: https://www.take-a-screenshot.org/
should that be off during streaming as well
and look ahead should stay on
its still doing it
i dont know what to do at this point
i cant find any other issues
Hey Guys, So i got the game display to work on stream labs, but on steamelements, it shows the box its red border, but nothing inside. its working for streamlabs but not this.
w
hey guys, i'm a hll of a noob on this stuff, so is there any way that the music on media request is listenable on the stream and not for me?
@proper swift Custom bot name requirements
- StreamElements bot modded and in chat
- Active overlay with alerts
- StreamElements tipping page in the panels below the stream (!panels)
- OBS.Live or Ground Control open
- Create a twitch account for the name you want to use or run the bot under your own name
- Custom bot name doesn't work on Mac
@steel blade I have done these, but going to Ground Control -> Settings there is nothing there except Keybindings/Other
@lost ginkgo 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.
Thank you
My obs streamelements keeps crashing and will not stay open.. this has been for over 2 weeks. How can we fix this
@shrewd berry Uninstall and reinstalll
done it 5 times
windows 10
How is your internet?
Well I recommend you Uninstall OBS and OBS.Live
done it all.. also visited every youtube video and nothing
how do i get help from streamelements
Via email or sometimes they are in chat
there is no email that I can find
Let me find it
whoever said that I had to open my chat feeds for my chatbox to work you can tell me how to do it
@shrewd berry https://streamelements.com/contact
thanks @edgy ibex
it's weekend now
True
usually is faster 😛
Guess what @wary dew
but it's usually even faster by asking here
@wary dew
my cat box fornite I don't understand you tell me how we do
someone can help me please
I do not understand what you are asking
@north ether are you logged in to the platform of your choice in OBS?
can someone help me with my overlays not showing up please
did you update to OBS 25?
yes
i updated both
that could be an issue
OBS 26 is scuff
i connect twitch
25
wtf are you talking about? there is no OBS 26
I do not knoww
then dont type in here
@kindred fox are you available?
why are the browser sources not working?!
So I just switched over to stream elements from streamlabs. I am using obs.live and it keeps dropping to a 0 bitrate every few minutes. I am using the exact same settings as I did with streamlabs
they are not the same program so not the same settings
I used the auto-configuration tool and it gave me the same issue
<@&382267076632379392>
can we get some help please?
im creating sources but they are not showing up on the list.
and overlays are not showing
@silk cipher MAC or Windows?
i see it as a "browser"
i see
and the browser sources i have for my overlay are not showing up completely
@silk cipher i have it on this version the OBS Studio
and no problems with the browser sources
my obs.live is 20.3.8.603 have you try to close it and open it again?
do you have a link for the update?
ive been closing it and opening it
that is how i got my sources to finally show up that i was adding
im going to obs discord...
I think my issue is my internet now, I have never had issues before with it but all of a sudden.
Yeah ISPs are struggling everywhere
due to everyone being home I'm assuming
The best way to test your connection to twitch is using the twitch tool
Test your upload bandwidth and connection quality to Twitch
I am switching to fiber monday though, think that will help since it's a direct line?
Should
@kindred fox do you know why SE overlays are not working?
Here is the test
Hello Guys! How do i add animated overlay from streamelements to my OBS? HELP PLS ❤️
@jade warren 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
overlay browers arent working,....
same....
Mine works
yups
nope
The honestly I would just use static for now until it can be fixed
@silk cipher weird i have animated ones and work fine
But I'm not support so don't listen to me lol
this works but not in obs
maybe check the dimenstions
@silk cipher OBS -> settings -> advanced -> scroll down -> enable/disable hardware accel.
https://i.imgur.com/ggMe9ZE.png
Yeah thath littlebird
change it to 1920 by 1080
please check that put 1920 and 1080
@silk cipher 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
shut up bot
the bot does not respond out of itself 😛
Just put 1920 x 1080 just to see what it does
i never had issues with my overlays. everytime there is an update it fucks my shit up and have to redo everything
@silk cipher we are just trying to help, i understand that maybe you could fell fustrated, but try to stay calm
and try to do what we said
@wary dew give it more bnankies
My OBS keeps saying it's missing a "Stream URL" in the settings, but there isn't even an option to add one?
@forest grove obs settings -> stream > disconnect > connect
I've already tried disconnecting/reconnecting my Twitch about twice now but still nothing
Inside obs settings?
Yeah
Screenshot it for me
This here
Yep dats it
@forest grove If you are not seeing the OBS Twitch integrations and have OBS.Live installed, please follow these steps:
- Make sure you are on the latest and greatest version of OBS.Live
- exit OBS (make sure OBS is not running)
- delete %appdata%\obs-studio\plugin_config\obs-browser\obs_profile_cookies
- start OBS.Live
- Settings -> Stream -> disconnect -> connect
Do this ^^^
Then try again
@silk cipher no idea why overlays aren’t loading. What version of obs do you have running?
That didn't work
Which version of obs are you running?
25.0.1
Asking internally
This is all I could find in the logs if it helps
Can you click streamelements in the menu bar, log out, then disconnect via obs settings, then reconnect via obs, then log in via streamelements menu and test again?
👍
So my stream elements doesnt want to capture my desktop audio all of a sudden any ideas what could be wrong ?
Why is this happening?
It's happening to multiple files in the download. I even restarted my PC and it's still doing it... This is the second time some "update" goes wrong.
Is there anyone available to help? Or is this being worked on? The entire add-on is not showing up on OBS studio now.
having the same problem
Updated to 25.0.1?
my preview panel broke with 25.0.1
Yes, OBS studio is updated to 25.0.1.
When I try to launch SE Obs.live, it prompts me to update that, and then I get a bunch of error messages in the download.
i'm seeing a lot of: signal_handler_connect: signal 'streamelements_update_settings' not found , in my logs
Obs.live is not currently updated for 25.0.1 yet. You should be able to download obs.live from streamelements.com/obslive and only install OBS.Live plug-in, not the OBS Studio part
It should work right now in 25.0.1 but ymmv
Did that just now, still getting the same errors.
same
I'm trying to test out media share and the media request panel claims that there is no media request widget in the overlay even though there is
Whelp. Next thing would be to uninstall obs.live, uninstall obs studio, then reinstall from https://streamelements.com/obslive
And run the full installer with obs studio which should revert it to 24.0.3
You're talking to Gumpita not me right
This pops up when I try to uninstall.
@kindred fox I tried reinstalling just the plugin, unfortunately my preview panel is still broken
which is odd, because the fullscreen projector preview works fine
@cloud niche reboot and run uninstaller again
same problem
@cosmic trench reload your overlay
How do I do that?
@sacred tangle same thing, restart, uninstall obs.live then obs studio
yeah thats what i tried
@cosmic trench double-click your browser source in the source list >> scroll down and click refresh cache
@kindred fox Same message pops up, won't let me uninstall.
OBS doesent work it wont capture my youtube window and also there isnt a button to auto start recording. Can some1 help me?
@Orsona
@kindred fox
anything I can do about this:
signal_handler_connect: signal 'streamelements_update_settings' not found
@kindred fox thank you
I'm going to ask internally about the errors you are seeing
orsuna can you help me plox 😦
it wont capture my youtube window and also is there a button I can press to auto start and stop recording?
Idk how, but it fixed itself. I no longer get the pop up to update OBS.Live when I launch it, and the add-on is back lol What a roller coaster.
Thank you @kindred fox, I appreciate it. ❤️
Why you ignore me :/
there is not a button you can push unless you have a streamdeck. The only option is to create a "hotkey" which starts/stops recording. With regards to the window capture, are you using Window Capture and have hardware acceleration disabled in your browser?
hardware acceleration?
@cloud niche it just started working randomly?
use Google Chrome, go to settings > scroll down and click "Advanced" >> scroll down and disable hardware acceleration
Yep. I tried uninstalling the add-on multiple times, wouldn't work. I tried downloading it again anyway, and this time it worked just fine.
@sacred tangle
Very strange.
the app or update?
And this is with OBS studio 25.0.1
I didn't do the update. I did the download directly from streamelements.com/obslive
How do I create a hotkey
EEEEEEEEE
@kindred fox sry for pinging so much 😦
nvm I figured it out
anyone else's overlays not loading?
OBS is stupid, I did the recording and stopped, and went to see the recordings, but it didnt show anything and didnt even record it. Seriously what the crap. <@&382267076632379392>
@kindred fox
SOMEONE HELP ME DANG IT -__
@warped sequoia yup. it was working fine for me earlier... and now; nothing
calm yourself
it's 3.47 am for some.
IF it recorded, it's in the logs
if it's not, check the folder location in settings.
@warped sequoia - mine's back up now. maybe check to see if yours is working too?
Is there a way to stop the Media Request dock from asking me to take a tour?
what exactly happen? @hearty idol
Alright, so I was going live, and none of my chat popped up which was odd. I also could not see any of my alerts.
I know it was live I checked on youtube.
Its asking me to sign in to Twitch and all kind of stuff.
I also delted the chat section and dont know how to get that back.
ok, try this . StreamElements menu > Log out, and then log back in
Looking for some help here on the most recent update... OBS continues to crash after update. Non of my "Source" overlays will show up.
Alright let me try,.
@tired mountain uninstall obs and then install again please
i will give it a shot.. @honest echo
Dont say that 😛
lol, have a good one man.
So, at one point I had an overlay set up with OBS Live, but it's gone now and I don't know how to get it back.
@honest echo apon doing the uninstall from "Add remove programs" i got this window..
@honest echo
tried again, i got htis
@fierce field check this : https://streamelements.com/dashboard/overlays
@honest echo tried 3 times to uninstall, each time says "aborted"
@tired mountain on obs click on remove obs.live and the unistall obs
@honest echo Stream elements is no longer listed in on the OBS platform... should i try to uninstall obs seperate from OBS live?
OBS studio..
hey, so i have an issue with obs, it wont let me stream to twitch despite that being my only connected account, and whenever i press "start streaming" it automatically comes up with the youtube details and i just wanna stream to twitch 😢
ill try
Yes yeahtoast
I try to start streaming and it tells me that my output has failed, although all of my drivers are up to date I believe
It also says that My twitch authentication has failed/it can't get token from the remote?
it worked! thanks so much 🙂
NP @vale dove
@slender lintel logout, and log back in
@honest echo No luck. i Uninstalled OBS, then proceeded to try to uninstall OBS Live. and im back to the same error from my image above
Ok the token is fixed, but it still states my output failed?
nevermind, the token error is back up
@honest echo OBS had been completely uninstalled from my PC. now im just left with stream elements OBS live, but it fails to uninstall
@honest echo Is there a way to stop the Media Request dock from asking me to take a tour?
@tired mountain try to install it anyway
@honest echo i'll give it a shot
I have no clue how to fix the output failer, and logging out and back in, I placed in my token, verified it, and then it stated that there is still failure to authenticate
failure*
@slender lintel what is your output?
@honest echo seems to have got my overlay back upp. will test for stability
just my speakers
are you trying to output sound to speakers? within OBS? @slender lintel
maybe check this
It just tells me my output failed, I don't honestly know where to look to fix the problem
not to overstep the team here.. Are you just trying to get audio to work to your speakers @slender lintel ?
@slender lintel can you do me a favor and click streamelements > log out > then go into obs settings >> stream > disconnect >> connect >> then click streamelements >> log in?
In that order?
@kindred fox Is there a way to stop the Media Request dock from asking me to take a tour?
You press it. It takes you into it. And then when you close OBS and reopen it. Does the same.
@crisp marten can you right-click the shortcut and select Run as Administrator, then take the tour, close OBS.Live, then re-launch as Administrator and see if it works?
I'll do that when I get back.
Make sure you actually finish the tour

How do I actually finish it? Seeing as all it does is take me into the player. There is nothing else. I've even used it.
having desktop audio problems on obslive. after the update my desktop audio stop's working i get no sound bar's on the mixer
@shrewd geyser For the best OBS support, please join their Official Discord @ discord.gg/obsproject
@shy mountain
can anybody help me with an uninstall problem?
Yes
Make sure you install OBS Studio
and also install obs.live from here: https://obs.live
then try and uninstall obs.live first
if it gets stuck, screenshot me what you see, before you close the window
And if you navigate to C:/Program Files/obs-studio
is OBS studio installed there?
or do you have it installed somewhere else?
yes, in program files
show me
No it looks fine
ok
what if you run that uninstaller as admin?
the one that is named obs-streamelemenets-uninstaller?
have you tried restarting your PC at any point after reinstalling OBS studio and obs.live? 
no
I guess I'll try that, then attempt to uninstall .live
I'm back! Did not work after restarting
Hey can someone help me please i cant start streming if i hit the start streaming button obs live nothing happens
@short tiger Streamelements on top of OBS -> Logout -> login
@hardy sail would you like to do a team viewer session so that I can take a look at what exactly the uninstaller is giving out as info?
Yeah that would be great
DM me the ID and password
one sec
@steel blade doesnt work
Are you getting an error or something? @short tiger
No nothing its just starting and a sec after it stops
@short tiger 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.
click "Tools" and then "Output timer" and show me what you see like so
untick these 2
hey, since a few days (since march 11th), I have massive problems with dropped frames while streaming/recording. OBS tells me the encoder is overloaded, I should change/lower streaming settings etc. Really frustrating, every workaround from the web doesn't have much of an impact on the situation 😦
using software encoder or switching to hardware (amd gpu) doesnt change the situation anyways.
@upper osprey 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.
@upper osprey 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+)
im trying tio stream to twitch but the mixer pop up comes up?
@plain mist Streamelements on top of OBS -> Logout -> login
Did you logout and login to your twitch?
make sure you are also set to stream on twitch via the Settings -> Stream
Click on "Streamelements" menu and take a screenshot of what you see on the menu
@plain mist Streamelements on top of OBS -> Logout -> login
Please notice what the instructions are saying
It does not mention the dashboard webpage
thx for your support @shy mountain - seems, that I've found some pretty decent settings now. But I'm still wondering that on 9th of March and before everything worked out well with much higher settings 🤔
Hey, i gonna try a capture card with my 2nd pc, is there a way to show only a game capture?
@stoic axle For the best OBS support, please join their Official Discord @ discord.gg/obsproject
@upper osprey I believe there was a Windows update betweehn 9th march and today, so that can affect stream settings a lot
Yeah, I've read about that several times now. I've also deinstalled the last windows update, that might have inflicted my problems - but it had not that much of an positive effect on my system. Yesterday I've changed some main parts of my system (new cpu, graphics and mainboard and new windows installation) - it halso has no effect on that. So something must be wrong with windows or obs 😉
well, you can troubleshoot with the OBS guys via that discord invite link above 😉
Hey again so elgato hd60s+ is freezing after a few minutes the i have to unplug the usb and its working again for a few minutes what can i do so its not freezing again ?
Ok thx
well, you can troubleshoot with the OBS guys via that discord invite link above 😉
@shy mountain I will do that, maybe they need that information for future updates. Thx again. Have a nice day 🙂
looks like, they (at obs discord) have plenty more to do 😉
I have an issue where I'm showing activity on my audio mixer but on streaming or recording I'm not getting any sound out put from any sources
@fringe tangle If you are hearing your own Alerts, but the stream is not hearing them, or vice versa(you don't hear them but viewers do), then you will have to use the "monitoring" function, in case you are using the "Control Audio in OBS" option on your Browser source.

I love you so much @steel blade
Do you have track 1 and track 2 ticked on for all audio channels?
Hello 🙂 I have obslive + a streamdeck (+obslive's streamdeck plugin) and i don't understand the !kappagen and charge kappagen commands, it does nothing :/
I do have kappagen widget up and running on my overlay (works fine)
Any idea ?
The kappagen will trigger one explosion
if you multi-tap the charge button
it will charge up to 4 taps and provide an appropriate explosion
1 tap is a small explosion
4 is the biggest
thing is it doesn't :/
:/
make sure when you check the button in the streamdeck software it says this:
restart OBS or refresh the browser source with the kappagen widget
and then try it
and i think you need the !kappagen chat command to be enabled
how do i enable that (the rest is fine)
enable what exactly?
the !kappagen command
oh ok it's there !
I don't see the command in 'default command' tab, could it be beacause my commands are set in 'french' ? any way it's not realy important ^^
I gtg thanks for the heads up i ll retry later.
@shy mountain I did, I ended up just remaking all my scenes and that seems to have solved the issue
@shy mountain Ohh that's the one ! damm thanks you so much for figuring it out, much appreciated
Is there a way to set up different transitions between scenes automatically?
Hire a production manager to switch scenes for you
OBS requires some sort of manual trigger to do about everything

Welcome 
I'm trying to reinstall OBS.Live since it bugging out my OBS, but when I try to uninstall it i keep getting "Installation Aborted, Setup was not completed successfully"
can anyone help?
(I have OBS studio installed)
@warped sequoia
Reasons the uninstaller might not work:
- OBS Studio was uninstalled before OBS.Live
- Missing OBS Studio
- It might be uninstalled, so tell them to open OBS Studio - if the "Streamelements" menu on top is missing, its uninstalled
I opened the OBS.live application file and it opens the regular OBS Studio, so it seems like it uninstalled somehow. But the OBS.live app, and all the obs-plugin files (also the obs.live uninstaller) is still lingering in my obs-studio and control panel programs. Is there anyway to get rid of them? @fathom cobalt
@hardy sail @shy mountain did you guys find a fix for that uninstall issue. It may.. be similar to mine
Heya. I don't have Nvenc Encoder neither in my OBS or Streamlabs. is there anyway to insta??
Windows 10N Pro
GPU: 1030 Zotac
CPU: i3 9100F
I don't kno who to mention. xD TNX
Which version of obs do you have?
@kindred fox im capuring my ps4 screen and the game is apex
@kindred fox 24.0.3. Streamlabs is up to date
the version is said is for OBS Btw
@short tiger with your elgato?
@rocky laurel make sure your Nvidia drivers are up to date
Nvenc should be in obs settings >> output
@kindred fox after updating, I'll report back
I opened the OBS.live application file and it opens the regular OBS Studio, so it seems like it uninstalled somehow. But the OBS.live app, and all the obs-plugin files (also the obs.live uninstaller) is still lingering in my obs-studio and control panel programs. Is there anyway to get rid of them?
anything for this?
@kindred fox no change
I updated my OBS + Graphic Driver with GeForce Exp but still no Nvenc Encoder
Hello I seem to have a problem I downloaded overlays from nerd or die and I was adding it to obs and when I do it in 1920x1080 it is too large to fit the screen????
I updated my OBS + Graphic Driver with GeForce Exp but still no Nvenc Encoder
@kindred fox @fathom cobalt '
Afternoon. Is there a way I can separate what's streamed and what's recorded?
Did anyone else install the newest update and now their stream is laggy AF? I didn't change any settings.
i keep getting this error
OBS is telling me that my encoder is being overloaded?
@zealous yacht Streamelements on top of OBS -> Logout -> login
And I don't think I changed anything
OBS is telling me that my encoder is being overloaded?
@lavish cedar Same problem here. Still trying to solve it.
@upper osprey I've lowered my encoder preset to Slower and I'm wondering if I need to do anything with my video bitrate?
Which bitrate do you use?
My bitrate that I haven't touched was 6,000
But a good advice, lower your encoder settings more, because slower is one of the highest settings you can choose @lavish cedar
Bitrate is ok
I popped it down to 5,400 and it didn't make a difference.
Not to flex but I have a i9 processer and a 2080 NVIDA Graphics card and ran everything on my GPU with no problems. I switch it to run off my CPU, lowered my encoder preset, lowered my bitrate and went from get 59.94 fps to about 30
@oak glacier I can't pretend like I know what I'm looking at with that link you sent ha
my computer isn't even getting hit hard like it says my CPU: 0.9%, run at a constant 60fps all the time just every time i start my stream literally crashes in a few minutes. I'm running a wired connection and my internet speed is 600mbps down and 20mbps up. I have never had problems before recently when i streamed before just started recently this last week or so
What helped me out a bit, was changing streaming (scaled) resolution from 1080 to 720p and I also lowered the resolution of Webcam. @lavish cedar
My specs arent shit either i have an i7-8700k, 16gb of 3200mhz ram, rtx 2080 so that shit should not be a problem
So you had to downgrade and everything else went back to normal?
and im literally just streaming my desktop
bitrate at 5500 was at 6000 but i lowered it to see if it did anything but nope didnt do shit
I doubt this would help but if I uninstall and reinstall OBS would that do anything?
idk why staff isnt answering tbh
I doubt this would help but if I uninstall and reinstall OBS would that do anything?
@lavish cedar dont think so. Yesterday i did a fresh install of Windows and OBS. Nothing changed
for you @oak glacier , you can take the link you've posted before and put it in here https://obsproject.com/analyzer/
For you @lavish cedar if your OBS is still open you can go to Help -> Log Files -> upload last log file
and then you can also take it to the analyzer site I've posted before
maybe this will help you
but tbh I'm also a user with the encoder overload problem and not from the helpdesk people 😉
This is hurting my soul lol
the rumours say, that maybe a windows update from last week causes all this problems.
I also took my problems over directly to the obs discord. But I doubt they really recognized it 😦
I am trying to stream to Twitch but when I click "Start Streaming I keep getting a blank popup that says "Start Streaming to YouTube" in the boxes header bar. I have my Twitch settings set properly
@vital adder Streamelements on top of OBS -> Logout -> login
When i analyze my log I dont even get any problems
Its gotta be an internet problem because when my stream goes down my brother also gets kicked out of his destiny game he is currently in. But what confuses the shit outta me is that my spotify is fine and I can still google shit fine just stream dies, and discord dies sorta meaning I can still send messages but if I'm in a call they can't here me when my stream crashes
And I just talked to my internet support and they told me it was a fuckin hardware issue which doesnt make any sense at all
Sorry for the rant lmao
hi i have an issue with my streamelemnt
it says in my followers goal i have 28/35 but my actual followers it 33
how to fix that?
Please don't ping random support members 😉
no one answered me yet and I dont know who to ping. sorry 😦
@spice cedar I did the update yesterday for streamelements OBS and now today OBS is telling me that my encoder is overloaded.
Shits wack
I'd love to @ the roles to get a freakin answer but.....
@lavish cedar 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.
hi i accidentally delete the chat from obs live how do i get it back
StreamElements on top > Chat
or View > Docks > Chat
okok tyty
@spice cedar I did the update yesterday for streamelements OBS and now today OBS is telling me that my encoder is overloaded.
@lavish cedar more and more people are reporting this, seems like a possible issue with v25 and some windows features, but I am just assuming this. It runs fine here. Worst case , go back to v24.
Unless you really need vulkan capture or the new features.. etc.
i had issues with obs crashing with the latelest version. Tried everything that was recommended. My FPS would not run at 60 and OBS would crash. I uninstalled and redownloaded from website which is v24 and no issues.
In which case, the devs will always benefit having the logs as to why it's crashing or doing so
i did save logs where do i find them?
I think it's help > logs > view logs , doing this out the top of my head
HaggardxGaming#9366 more and more people are reporting this, seems like a possible issue with v25 and some windows features, but I am just assuming this. It runs fine here. Worst case , go back to v24.
@cinder hill
How do I revert to the last version without reinstalling?:
i sent logs last night and I did a crash report today
That's all you can do for now, wait on going (back) to v25 or any new (hot)fix untill they know whatsup.
@shy lodge I assume you went from v25 to v24. You just uninstalled and reinstalled v24, correct?
@cinder hill I don't know if this works, you can always try to run the v24 installer, but I'd recommend uninstalling regardless.
@tender python Yeah I backed all my settings up. Uninstalled OBS elements and obs. Then I downleaded from the website which was v24. I reinstalled and declined the update
New features brings new risks, nothing much we can do about it (here) as this is an Obs issue in it's core, nothing much to do with SE.
If you're weary, take the Adobe approach: never install the latest release.
ok. I will just hold off on update for awhile until they correct it.
or mac approach. haha
Or windows features 
@lavish cedar more and more people are reporting this, seems like a possible issue with v25 and some windows features, but I am just assuming this. It runs fine here. Worst case , go back to v24.
@tender python how do I go back to V24? Honestly probably a stupid question but I have no clue.
Seems like minibard's method seems to work out: backup all settings, uninstall OBS and SE live. Download v24 , install, decline update (s)
Hi! So i just created a metric for my stream but my "In"- and "Out"-Animations are not working, there is just a plain transition. Can anyone help me? 😦
Hey so I hit reload overlays
and now none of my overlays are loading
and I can't acess the dashboard on the site
Hey guys, i installed windows on my mac and now the overlays seem to be working much better. I just cant seem to get the chat to work, and i dont know how to test it without starting the stream. pls halp
@ all the people here at helpdesk. The Encoder overload issues are gone, when switching back to obs 24.0.3. - thats finally the best way to solve the problem. Happy me 😄
do you know if reverting the windows update helps? @upper osprey
which issue do you have? and which version of obs is installed? @warped sequoia
Can anyone here help me with my chat issue? The overlay works fine but the chat doesnt appear at all...
@upper osprey 25.0.1
my issue is that my obs keeps crashing when it starts up
and when i try to uninstall obs.live it aborts before it finishes
have you had that crashes in older obs versions, too?
nope, it only happened recently i think after a windows update
everything was working completely fine until yesterday
Have you updated your obs yesterday?
okay, than I'll give you this advice
deinstall obs and obs.live (don't matter if it says the obs.live deinstall is not successful...) - restart your system - look for obs v24.0.3 (make sure it is for windows and not for mac 😅 ) - download and install this and then install obs.live again. Ignore the question of obs to update to the newest version and click "stay at this version" or something similar
Maybe this will help you
I think v25 of obs is bugged in several ways
Can anyone here help me with my chat issue? The overlay works fine but the chat doesnt appear at all...
@rugged quail maybe I can, have you built the chat within the overlay editor?
thanks, i'll give that a shot
youre welcome 😄
but keep in mind I'm no streamelements staff or volunteer, just doing my best to help you
So, do you have your OBS open? (sorry for the question, but) Have your already tried writing something in your chat? @thedjflake
i have obs open, i have tried using the chat in obs
I was able to fix the overlays not appearing issue by downgrading to 24.0.3, but installing OBS.live made it crash when i opened it. How I was able to fix the uninstallation aborting of OBS.live was by uninstalling it through the application (and not the uninstaller or control panel) for some ungodly reason. So i'll be sticking with OBS Studio without the plugin until its fixed. Hopefully it's not an issue just for me. Thanks again @upper osprey
i have obs open, i have tried using the chat in obs
@rugged quail and? Nothing appears?
@upper osprey nothing.
Even not the Message you wrote? @rugged quail

@warped sequoia youre welcome
@upper osprey not even my message comes up. even the box is not there
OK. I'll try Something. Jeep an eye in your obs Screen 😉
ok!
Can you see my message there?
Hmm...which background colour has the Chat you want to have in your overlay?
i chose the white one
you didnt get my reply?
@rugged quail sorry im on my Smartphone. I'll have to switch around between the apps
@upper osprey no problem dude!
i chose the white one
@rugged quail have you edited the Text color of your chat?
And have you placed a big enough space for the chat in the editor?
@upper osprey its black, and there is plenty of space.
Hmm...so I don't have a clue at all. Im sorry 😦
thats ok! Thanks for trying to help anyway 🙂
Maybe I could help you better from my PC via Screenshots from your Editor Settings. But on Smartphone it wont work properly I think. But ill give it a try If you want to
omfg i figured out what the problem was!!!!
dude this is something you can tell other rookies like myself.
You havent saved the Settings?
The layer that had the chat on it was marked as invisible. So theres a little eye icon next to the layer indicating if it is on or off. I wasnt aware that the chat eye was switched off.

So i could see all the text slightly transparent in the editor, but i thought that was just what it was meant to look like!
Oh. Nice.
at least it's fixed now
Yeah! And now you guys can help out other fools like me by teaching them about the layers and the visability hahaha!
thanks anyway for all your time and help guys i appreciate it
🤔
so I'm trying to stream on twitch but I'm using obs just 2 days ago I was able to stream fine and the obs was game capturing my desktop screen but now it's just showing a blank black screen even when I have a game open. anyone know why?
Which Game @worn bone
fortnite or runescape just the normal. I've tried a few different ones and all it gives me is a black screen.
Or did you try different ones?
Why isnt my image showing up on the preview?
I See, youre faster than me @worn bone
yeah it was capturing fortnite just 2 days ago than when I tried to stream last night it wouldn't capture the screen I have no clue why
Why isnt my image showing up on the preview?
@grand tulip Editor Preview?
yeah it was capturing fortnite just 2 days ago than when I tried to stream last night it wouldn't capture the screen I have no clue why
@worn bone have you updated to a newer obs version in this time?
yeah I updated it just barely yesterday
Maybe its a Bug in the latest Version.
idk should I uninstall and re install? the only thing about that is I had someone set all this up for me because I honestly didn't know how.
If it worked well before and you didnt Change anything else, i guess this could be the problem
my screen is a 1080p and the guy set it up for me with a base resolution of 1920 by 1080
and output resolution of 1920 by 1080 is that right?
on obs
Seems correct. And it worked with this until the last update, right?
yes, it was capturing just fine till than.
hi im having an issue where when i try to display my media request widget on obs.live on stream it duplicates the audio. i added the request to my overlay and i set it up in the integrated obs.live part.
video bitrate is 6000 kbps encoder is amd hardware and audio bitrate is 160
recording format is mp4. I changed that it was at mkv but I don't think that was the problem because it was showing a black screen before I changed that today.
yes, it was capturing just fine till than.
@worn bone then back up your settings (there is an Option for this in OBS) and try going Back to obs v24.0.3
i fixed my issue disregard my post
how do I back it up?
how do I back it up?
@worn bone i cant Tell you right now, im on my Smartphone with no obs in sight 😅
oh okay, I just have no clue how to do it. I'm just looking around in obs to try and figure out what's wrong
Maybe SE Staff or the volunteer helpers here can catch up here and help you out with further assistance. im only a user like you @worn bone
oh okay, well thanks for at least trying. I'll see of I can figure all this out. just don't want all my overlays and stuff to get taken off because I have no clue how to get them back on if they do come off.
Cheers. I got a .overlay file from a Fiverr Artist. How do i import it to OBS? Thanks in advance!
This is a StreamLabs file format. Best to contact them.
Afaik yes.
yikes. rip. but thx
You can try to import it to StreamLabs and use the import tool in OBS.Live to import it to StreamElements.
ay ye will try that
Having an issue with this new OBS update (20.3.8.603) where when you click on a source in the Preview area, it doesn't highlight the source you clicked on in the Sources tab, so you don't know whether you're clicking on the one you actually want to work on - previous version automatically highlights the source you clicked on in the Preview in the Sources menu
How to fix this?
Hmm... restarting program seems to have worked... 😐 something to note though
Hello! I am live right now and my alerts are not popping up when someone follows and subscribes
They are not popping up on stream

Hello everyone. I have a question about the recent update. Before this new update I was able to game capture all my games. I am no longer able to do this. Any remedies?
i cannot record rainbow six but every other game
Hello everyone. I have a question about the recent update. Before this new update I was able to game capture all my games. I am no longer able to do this. Any remedies?
@rugged garden could be a bug; have you tried re-adding the capture?
if so, dont upgrade back to v25 (assuming you upgraded to v25)
I tried re adding each game and nothing works @tender python
I am doing game capture, specific window, and the specific game. Never had a problem.
How do go back to the previous version?
back-up settings, uninstall, get V24: https://github.com/obsproject/obs-studio/releases/tag/24.0.5
@honest echo that did not work
I logged out and logged in on obs and nothing changed
when I refresh a follower it doesnt give a notification on stream that osmeone followed
log out and login in the SE site
would you please invite me as an editor on SE please
@grand tulip Follow these steps to grant managers/moderators access to your dashboard:
- Click on your Channel Name at the top of the dashboard and select Settings
- Create a new invite at one of three access levels (Bot Supervisor, Editor, Full Control)
- Send this invite to a mod/manager to give them access to your dashboard. The link is one-time-use and expires after 72 hours if not accepted
Video tutorial: https://youtu.be/zl_h-ttZDF0
How do I send it to you without everyone else seeing it? just dm you?
done @honest echo
im on it 🙂
webpage won't load, I'm getting a white screen and I deleted the cache and tried the hard refresh and still nothing. Any solutions? Streamlabs OBS is being trash right now and I need something that will load my comments when a follower/viewer comments. I've tried everything, as far as support to fix the problem goes, and still nothing. Is streamelements any better?
www.streamelements.com everytime I try to go to the home page to try and download the software it's just a white page.
So first question would be: did you upgrade (anything) ?
no, first time trying to download it.
what browser you using
internet explorer.
Yeah. Dont.
Chrome or chromium related browsers.
If you want to stick with IE or Edge, get edge chromium .
So google chrome would be a better option?
The site's made for chrome. IE is outdated and will probably not load - or poorly.
Chrome or chromium browsers, yes. I used to rely heavily on Chrome, but since MSedge is chromium based, and actually uses less resources, i prefer it now over Official Chrome 🙂
I magine you have your IE tied into a MS account, so i'd go with https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/edge/
I didn't know that. Like I said it's my first time trying to download it. So, is chromium free to download??
Alright thanks brother, I'll give it a try and see if it works,
@grand tulip 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
Just remember this ok? ⤴️
@tender python thank you sir, it loaded the webpage and I'm currently downloading the software for StreamElements
👍
im having an issue with seeing my viewer count i have the new obs.live with streamelements and obs
can you change the facebook page associated with the facebook channel?
was just wondering if anyone else had the same issue
im having an issue with seeing my viewer count i have the new obs.live with streamelements and obs
@dreamy cloud maybe its a bug in the newest Version. Has it worked properly before ?
imo, turn it off regardless, but i digress
can you view through a browser?
if so; use a browsersource.
if you van view through say, VLC, add that as a window source.. so many ways.
Thank you I test times let me know who I have problems with, thank you
Browser
192.178.63/main.htm
192.168.178.63/live.htm
this is only live picture
192.168.178.63/main.htm sorry
Main= Stream + Confi
Live = only live picture
good
Why does it take forever to load when logging in
I've tried to install many different versions
my firewall is allowing it
@upper jacinth so whatabout a browser window open, capture that as a window
@charred sleet your internet speed is alright then?
Yes.
How long this problem already sticks with you?
It happened when I hit reload overlays to reset my stream starting soon counter
and then my overlays stopped working
Now nothing loads or I can't login now through obs live
Has it worked with previous obs versions?
Obs live yes
Have you tried to remove both obs.live and obs and reinstall first obs v24.0.3 and then obs.live again. Then deny the update "invitation" from obs and "stay with this version" or sth similar? @charred sleet
Because there are several bugs occuring in the actual version 25.0.X of obs studio
Am attempting it now hold on
So maybe this will solve your problem
And dont forget to restart after removing and before installing 😉
I made you a screenshot in the middle is the browser Left side obs live with ipcam settings, does not work in obs live the IP Cam
Okay
@upper osprey
I have obs 24.0.3
now do I just install obs live from streamelements site now?
now do I just install obs live from streamelements site now?
@charred sleet yes - and remember dont allow obs to update itself at first time starting
hmm...strange thing.
@fallen hare fine line, could be considered self-promotion.
looks fine to me
@charred sleet have you tried to log out and log in again in obs? (maybe youve already done that after installing the older version)
Hello, I have this error message: ''fatal: No NVENC capable devices found''
My config:
- Windows 10
- CPU: Intel I9-9900k
- GPU Nvidia 2080 Ti
Tried several things but still not working can anyone help me ?
@verbal wolf when does it happen? any recent updates on obs.live oder obs studio you've installed before?
I installed OBS.live for the first time yesterday so I can't tell
The source image is coming from an ultrawide monitor frome Samsung
from*
I don't know if it can be a source of problems
Drivers, @verbal wolf .
@verbal wolf your nvidia gpu drivers are up to date?
@charred sleet - maybe try to log out and log in again to twitch inside obs studio
@tender python Yeah I installed the latest drivers from the NVIDIA GeForce Experience
@upper osprey Version 442.74 03/19/2020
V25 or v24 of obs
maybe another bug from obs 🤔
@verbal wolf V25 or V24 of obs
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.
tip 1: always run OBS in admin mode
09:56:25.232: [NVENC encoder: 'streaming_h264'] Failed to open NVENC codec: Generic error in an external library```
Seems like a faulty install, a few options
latest drivers, @wary dew
not the issue.
clean instal is not the same as latest drivers though 😛
If you're experiencing strange issues or errors that might be related to your GPU drivers, one of the easiest potential fixes is a clean driver installation. Follow the instructions below.
- Download the latest version of Display Driver...
@upper osprey Version 442.74 03/19/2020
@wary dew
just in case 😛
also think clean install of drivers is the next step
tbh, "Generic error in an external library" kinda points that way
because somethings wrong with the library of the encoder
