did you by any chance change the text under "alert message"
Am I missing something or is there a way to have a stinger transition through Stream Elements rather than hosted as a local file?
no i havent changed anything
yes i have
i have changed it back to the text appearing underneath and it works fine but as soon as i change it to i want it doesnt work
thats odd
yeah sorry, i don't know how to help
i've been in here to fix my alerts not even showing up on obs lol
ok.... is there any staff to help?
there was this helpful guy named Benno but i think hes offline
thanks haha
Do I still have to add StreamElements alerts via browser source even if I have OBS Live?
yeah
i have found out what is causing my alerts not to show up in obs.live, apparently the link the overlay editor gives me only has the audio
@marble cipher Hi, have you check the dimension?
@marble 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
yes, it is 600 by 400 in both obslive and the overlay editor
set the dimensions to 1920x1080 (unless you changed them on the website)
oh that actually partially worked. the image shows but not the text
the alert works on the web editor?
it had worked on the web editor already, but it didnt work in obslive. it works in both now. but the text still shows on the editor but not on obs
also due to my settings the text on the editor is in the center of my screen
@fickle violet i just ended up changing it in betterTTV
yeah i just did that on my own too. but thanks
oh aight
hullo I am still having issues with the media request overlay, I have activated it on my "browser" overlay and in that overlay there is a "now playing" but OBS still says "there are no active widgets"
@fickle violet if you still have issues with dark mode https://discordapp.com/channels/141203863863558144/494513233416421386/649491105951252480
@scarlet pewter the "now playing" widget is not the same as the "Media Request" one
I’m having issues with the command to buy tickets for giveaways. When the command is inputted nothing happens.
Hi folks
I'm trying to add a media share widget, but it doesn't appear in the list of widgets when I'm editing my overlay. Has something changed?
I did some searching, someone mentioned the media request widget might be what im looking for.
using an hd60 to stream my xbox i had game chat initially and no mic volume but now i get no chat volume how do i fix audio???
please do not post one question in multiple channels for you was answered in #helpdesk-twitch Thank you!
@late furnace I did a quick search for my question and saw you had previously answered it. Thank you for your help! Cheers!
You're Welcome 
Hey was wandering how i can stream to a local file so i can check over somethings before going live
hit the record button
Thank you
Hello everyone! I upgraded my pc so I have some spare parts to build a pc with an i5 6400 as CPU but no dedicated graphic card and 8gb ddr4 ram. I was wondering if it is enough as a streaming pc usin x264 codec. Any of you has some knowledge to share about? :)
hey guys, when I put the link for my theme in a browser source, it doesnt want to show up! I really need help with this. I don't know why it doesn't want to show up, I followed the tutorials, but they were no help
@mortal mist OBS -> settings -> advanced -> scroll down -> enable/disable hardware accel.

@tribal crane There are no "best settings".
Please understand that every setup will be very different.
Any guides or videos that claim otherwise are misinforming. Your best option is to start with a base and adjust as necessary.
You can run the OBS auto-configuration tool. To use the auto-config, click on the Tools menu in OBS, select Auto-Configuration Wizard, and then just follow the on-screen directions.
You can use this tool to get baseline settings for your hardware and adjust as necessary from there.
Test, test, and test again. We are happy to offer suggestions for any issues you may be having afterwards, but not a list of settings.
Thank you 
Thank you @steel blade , I'd still like a human opinion XD
Thank you, it fixed it!!!

hard to give any suggestion to we do not know what your outcome will be
cause for instance my good suggestion can be bad to you and a bad suggestion can be good to you vice versa, if you catch my drift?
i reworded that 🙂
Sweet as man

@late furnace , got it :)
@tribal crane run the auto-wizard and see what the outcome is 🙂
@tribal crane Then as a human I can say, there is no best settings and no way to help you on this, as we are not knowledgeable on 2PC setups. There are guides on the internet and they might be more informative then we are on this case and situation.
I'll just wait to have the remaining 2 pieces to build the pc and then try it out! Thanks all of you ;)
oh a 2pc stream ey
also checc capture card dual pc and NDI as well if you did not know about that
upon your searches
🙂
As capture card I already have an elgato HD60S to use with that :)
there's a start 
upon searches feel free to look that up as well
ill get you alink for NDI
2pc setup with NDI
Sorry but I don't know what "NDI" is :) I'll look in the link :) thank you ;)
i got you already 
NDI basically is a Network Device Interface over an IP
moreless like casting music over bluetooth 🙂
Read it, it gives me hope considering it never talks about a graphic card, but there is no guarantee my cpu will bear the weight. Considering I already have a capture card it is simpler to connect the 2 pcs through that, lowering lan usage and (probably) delay :) thank you for the infos, anyway! You have been very kind :)

so new computer time and i am resetting up my SEOBSlive and i am unable to locate the dark mode on chat. Anyone have any ideas?
Check first pinned message
don't really want to watch a video for a 2 second question thanks anyway have a good night
Right
so
click on "Switch to non-mod settings"
click on "BTTV settings"
search up "dark mode"
pinned video is 14 seconds
bttv isn't ther e
@limber heart Streamelements on top of OBS -> Logout -> login
after you relog, do you see the BTTV settings?
if you look at what i posted you will see that that isn't there. I just redownloaded it tonight as the new computer just got set up. Don't worry about it anyway if it isn't a toggle there isn't a point i am going back to just using the mod screen on twitch and reg obs. have a good one.
If you are willing to try another thing, then I would suggest to try and go to "Settings" -> "Stream" -> "Connect" and connect your Twitch account to OBS it self.
Usually when people say that they don't see the BTTV emotes listed in the emote menu, this helps retrieve the emotes for the chat docks.
@sharp hedge 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
if you have created the overlay with your alert widget, follow the AI instructions
Does this work for follower alerts?
yes if you have created the alert via SE site then you copy URL over to obs and when you fire off an emulated alert aka follower etc.. then you should see it on SE site as well as obs 🙂
also when you create an alert it will have everything
from followers/subs/tips/cheers/host/raids and all them goodies built in 🙂
Am looking at the website
So do I hit save or is there a copy button?
once added hit that save button
then hit launch to have a pop up then you copy the url source code
then apply that to obs when you create a source you add it as a browser source
Ok I put it in my browser source
ok now you should see it display on your obs
then emulate an alert by using the bell on SE site
It's working just got to fix the view of it
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
More like in half
do what the AI says and it will fix it 🙂
Aahh think I got it

I can make it work....I think
I mean the art style
ah ok
Yeah am going to change it
cause any alert that is created, it is in fact made at default 1920x1080 unless you change it within SE site
but you can take the 1920x1080 and have it fit your canvas on obs
even if it is 1280x720
Na it cuz some of the games I play
yes for sure but our alert will overlay your game no matter what the size is 🙂
so its a win/win
I mean like the some of the games will cause some of the follower alert words to blend in
they way we have it coded it should never blend with your game unless you made it the same color then yeah it will blend in
Hi, I'm having issues importing scene collections and everything else from SLOBS to OBS.Live. I keep getting "Import failed. Please try again later".
The import will fail if your assets are too large or if you're attempting to import Streamlabs-owned assets.
Is there any way I can work around it easily
no i do not think you can as for if its copy right stuff we do not fiddle with a work around
No I mean to import everything besides that
``The Scene importer will fail when:
- Any asset is above 10(or maybe it was 100mb)
- Any asset that is the default assets provided by SLOBS(Copy righted assets)``
that is why it failed
have to make sure
Yes I know
that it doesnt exceed over the limit
hello everyone, i need little from you..

I Just want to report that from the last update of Obs live the chat can't be turned to dark mode for me. Anybody know how to repair it?
checc pin messages for darkmode 🙂
Do transitions need to be hosted locally?
yes
uploading is 30mb
storage is 1gb
Okay thanks
hello! I'm someone who just found out about Stream Elements and just went connected my account to my twitch from the opening screen. Now I want to go through that screen again to test different settings (FB or YouTube) but I'm not sure how to get there again?
logout via site then you should be able to log in thru the (other sites) via SE site
ohhh
i saw that but completely misunderstood what it meant
it works, thank you so much! 😄
How do I bring streamlabs scenes to you?
Hi i need help so is the only way to move stuff around like alerts is thru StreamElements Overlay Editor ?
Like when I used other broadcasting systems i could drag it around ?
yes, its cloud based.
unless you have each item as its own browser source so you can move them in obs
thanks
Ok so i moved it to where I want it but it doesn't pop on screen or sometimes i can only see half the alert
Hello! First time asking a question. I apologize if my message is out of order.
How do I enable the StreamElements Activity Feed again without using Ground Control?
in OBS.Live you can click on the StreamElements menu in the top bar, then click on Activity Feed
@rustic pawn are the overlays in 1920x1080 in OBS?
ohhhhhhhhh... OK. I was confused between the OBS and OBS.Live business. @wary dew Thank you.
guys whenever i open OBS i have white screen its not showing me a preview, I've tried everything
Do you have a screenshot of that please.
A white screen is normally a local issue, with blocking the connection to twitch. Check your firewall settings.
it was fine before i updated it with OBS live addon
@wary dew Got it thanks
@rugged quail Again, this is most likely a local issue. Try disabling your firewall or/and AV.
Still didnt work
Then something is blocking the connection to twitch. Make sure to whitelist the program in your settings.
My display capture isnt working either just a white screen

Hello, i've got an issue, i have black screen when trying to capture rainbow 6 siege in directX (not vulkan), only window capture works
yes that is a know issue with OBS 25.x RS6 and some other games
so is there no way to capture game (r6s) besides window capture?
@analog hazel For the best OBS support, please join their Official Discord @ discord.gg/obsproject
Is there a way that the dashboard follower count can match Twitch or does it track new followers since using StreamElements?
The count is dependant on the period you set it to. But we only register new follows since you signed up with us.
Thank you @odd kraken
Hi, i have a quick question, im trying to stream discord over the windowcapture but obs only shows me a black screen. How can i fix that?
Have you started OBS as admin?
yes
Are you on a laptop?
no im on a windows 10 pc
@fluid tapir For the best OBS support, please join their Official Discord @ discord.gg/obsproject
alright thank you!
what is the current supported obs version for obs.live?
The latest stable.
ok, ty.
do you know if they(obs/game devs) have fixed the game capture issue with the game anti cheat for different games?
@wispy tinsel For the best OBS support, please join their Official Discord @ discord.gg/obsproject
@kindred carbon 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+)
when i switch scenes with both of them having a webcam the next scene has my webcam blank
Add the webcam as existing source after you added it one time to OBS.
ok, ill try thanks!
Howdy team, please let me know if this should be posted elsewhere. I've had this issue before and can't remember how to fix it. Issue is strange lag appears when playing games while OBS/streamelements is running. Don't even have to be streaming. So my game FPS is high and normal, no issues there. OBS is working properly and the stream looks excellent, no encoding issues, no dropped frames, etc. By all accounts all is well. Except the game has this strange lag when obs is running. Game mode on or off doesn't help. Running as admin doesn't help either. Thoughts?

@modern granite 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.
this did not solve my issue unfortunately
@modern granite For the best OBS support, please join their Official Discord @ discord.gg/obsproject
Good Afternoon!
I was curious if anyone else is having an issue where Media Request within OBS just shows as a blank screen. at the time being i'm using ground control to be able to manage it, but i would like to be able to move back to having it consolidated in one location.
Thank you for all the awesome work you guys do!!!
@still tartan Streamelements on top of OBS -> Logout -> login
Oh, didn't know that fixed it, thank you!
Hey, just a quick question. How do I make my obs live chat go into dark mode?
Check pinned messages in this channel.
Thanks!
Hey so 'm trying to stream and my viewers are telling me I have no sound but my monitors are picking everything up. So I'm a little confused on what could be wrong.
@cedar helm yeah i can hear your mic, but the game or is very low or no sound at all
you said that you see the mixer pick the sound right?
maybe is the number of the track, check in advance properties (the icog icon right next on the volumen of any sound source)
i have the tracks as follows: mic 1 and 4 game 2 and 4 discord 3 and 4 the fourth track i use for all audio to stream and then i have them seperated for recordings
I have used that before today with no issues
I haven't done a fresh install of the software but I feel like I shouldn't have to
@cedar helm just for test, can you change the lines?
Testing the overlays off stream, but they're way bigger than the available screen, what do?
@honest echo for the audio devices?
@cedar helm yes, change the desktop sound in the track that you use for your mic

@rustic pawn Select your alert box and then click the cog wheel next to the alert type and unhide the TTS Settings Menu
Thanks
👍
And my friend has a thing where it changes from latest tipper, follower, and sub how do i add that ?
Thats called Stream Labels. You can find it by clicking the Widgets and scroll to where it reads Stream labels
whats the one that rotates from recent sub, donation, follower called ?
my friend said he got it from streamelements but he is offline.
You can also find that in the Stream label section of the widget page
ok
How do i add a sound delay ?
sorry for all the questions just switched from another streaming program bc my friends told me how good StreamElements is
I dont think theres a way to delay the sound but you can delay the animation of the alert
Ok and for some reason for my alert sound for resubs i hear the default sound and my sound
Do you want to change the sound of the alerts?
ye i changed it from defult to mine
@rustic pawn from rotate your last events you could use this
https://discordapp.com/channels/141203863863558144/457957557470887947/561214310123044865
but i sill hear default
Did you click save ?
yes
@rustic pawn have you check the variations?
is there a way to use OBS hotkeys to trigger streamelements chat commands? I have a win/loss counter and I want to be able to update it "in game" with hotkeys without having to tab out and write it in twitch chat 🙂
@honest echo how do i add the event rotator ?
Nvm i found it
Actually @honest echo is there other ones besides that ?
@rustic pawn this one : https://discordapp.com/channels/141203863863558144/457957557470887947/618446259828686858

thank you! didn't know where to ask, i'm a total noob to not just streaming but pretty much everything around it 😄
is there anyway i could add an overlay to my main overlay
so its 1 page instead of 2
like i want to bring my overlay to my main overlay page so i dont have to go one to the other if i want to move something
@rustic pawn wdym?
Like do you know how i got that custom thing you sent me is there anyway i can make it go on my other overlay instead of 2 different overlays ?
Like can i take that overlay and put it on my other main overlay
you can select the widget and click on the "Duplicate" icon and make a copy on any other overlay
the duplicate icon is the one that looks like 2 papers one on top of the other
can someone dm me to help me with a obs studio problem?
@honest echo Im still confused would we be able to get in a call so i can screen share or no ?
@civic umbra write your question here please
@honest echo would u be able to join Chit chat channel and i will live stream my screen in discord ?
@rustic pawn Click your widget you will see it under "Layers" and then click on that icon (maybe yours look a little bit different)
Ok, when I press start stream it says that the cannot find channel or stream key is wrong, how do I fix that even though I put in new stream keys, so many times, plus re put in my channel so many times?
@civic umbra try log out and log back in on OBS
Hello am trying add my theme to my obs I have copied the like but dont know when to put it

Yeah

I am having an issue with a premade BRB overlay. The images aside from my social plugs and background do not display on the stream or preview, but do display on the interaction screen, properties, and editor. I have tried reloading the overlays and refreshing the cache of the current page. Any suggestions?
@civic umbra this one?
no i will try that
here is an example of what I am seeing
I also just checked the shutdown when not visible as per recommendation of the bot and accompanying vid.
Is there a way i can make it when i press go live it shows what my title is going to be and my tags etc
@pure temple check dimensiones => 1920 x 1080
They are so

Is there a way to add a custom command thru twitch chat for my custom bot ?
like !addcom !(command) (text)
!cmd add <command name> <text >
@honest echo Where is it?
@midnight sigil
@rustic pawn on the default command page you could change the !command for anything but you will need to use that command follow by add <command name> <text >
I cant find it in properties. Feels like we have different version of obs, but I downloaded it from streamelements website and updated it today
@midnight sigil
Yeah, that's my version

I’m trying to figure out how to set up a streak counter for my wheel. Example: text says “wheel 1 in 2/5 subs” and then when it hits 5 subs it goes to “wheel 2 in 1/5 subs”. It ticks the wheel number up as it counts the subs. I can’t figure out how to do it.
are there any errors reported already about the twitch chat that isn't switchable to dark mode ?
thanke mate
might be a silly question, but is there a way to use Stream Elements to stream to a Facebook Personal Profile instead of a Page? When I log into Facebook, there's only the option to use a Page as far as I can tell
thanks that helped! figured out how to connect it to a profile 🙂
Hey guys, the plugin seems to be crashing my OBS all the time. when I link my account and the activity feed and chat docks open, the main window of obs and all the ui components seem to freeze and be uninteractable. I tried reinstalling both the plugin and OBS, doesn't seem to work.
Even when I just launch OBS after 20 30 seconds, it just freezes. Especially when I click any item in the toolbar
anyone have any insight on this?
@warped vault Please use the Reporting function in OBS.LIVE
To do this, in the top OBS menu, please go to StreamElements > Report an issue
State your issue and your full Discord username along with any other details you think might be relevant.
Thank You 
Good afternoon, I tried to setup a overlay with SE on OBS. I made the text scroll in the overlay editor but when I put the overlay in OBS with browser source the text doesnt scroll

Hello. I dont know exactly where I should post about this but, can anyone help me about the spotify overlay thing on Obs, please? Ive tried all tecniques on youtube and no one worked. The 'Aiden Wallis' thing doesnt work as well. It conects but doesnt show anything on OBS browser. I did the whole process...
What spotify overlay thing are you referring to?
I'm having an issue with obslive suddenly opening in a different resolution when full screened?
I suddenly can't minimise the program and cannot see the bottom of the window/my taskbar
happens everytime I open it now
Press F11, to leave the fullscreen mode and in File you should be able to deactivate to show it always on top.
Unfortunately not
If i press F11 it just "refreshes" ? and goes back to this
for a split second my toolbar shows then it just goes back to this
Always on top is deactivated btw
Use View > Fullscreen interface.
same thing
@toxic vortex For the best OBS support, please join their Official Discord @ discord.gg/obsproject
It just acts as if it's refreshing
I'll try there
but OBS studio does not do this
It's only when I use obs.live
Thanks though will ask them
You can also try WindowsKey + Arrow Down
I'll try that when i'm back home as I've just left
Another question I had though, was is there a way to change the time of loops in SE?
I.e I have a social popup file I want to loop, but can I change the time between loops
I only saw a loop checkbox rather than controls over how often it does loop
What spotify overlay thing are you referring to?
@odd kraken I wanna show on the stream what I'm listening
@willow wyvern There is no spotify widget with StreamElements.
@willow wyvern There is no spotify widget with StreamElements.
@odd kraken Yeah, ive checked there...but, how people do that? how they show the spotify music playing on the stream ?
No idea. Best to ask them.
@toxic vortex You can create an asset rotator widget in the overlay and see if it fits your needs.
No idea. Best to ask them.
@odd kraken I didnt want bother them on their stream with this question haha
if you dont want to ask them, look up OBS current song
i suppose most streamers dont mind talking about their set up if they dont have anything "secret"
Thanks, Ill try that. Ill try this OBS current song first. Ive tried many gadgets for this and no success. thanks 😉
I have a friend that's swears alot but I don't want my twitch audience to hear him is there anyway that I can hear him using discord but NOT the audience in my channel thanks

Thankyou
@toxic vortex Also make sure you do not have added any options to your shortcut of OBS.Live and/or OBS Studio which makes it start in fullscreen.
I need help on my media request on obs live, i tried to set it up i think i set something wrong and views can request a song. How can i make viewers be ablt to request,
Have you enabled the viewer requests in your media request settings?
@odd kraken yes i have but doesnt work
@tardy canyon Please connect your streaming account (Twitch, YouTube, or Facebook) with Discord by going to ⚙ Settings and then Connections here in Discord. https://streamable.com/eg92w
Done
Do you have the !songrequest command enabled in the default settings?
you know what i dont and i try to look for it and couldnt find it
The command has to be enabled here: https://streamelements.com/dashboard/bot-commands/default-commands
Mod the bot in your channel please.
Yes. it is !sr <youtubelink> or !sr <YTvideoID>
done i think lol
relpace <youtubelink> with the actual youtubelink.
Is there a problem with the chat? I am constantly "reconnecting"
For twitch? This is most likely an issue with your provider or twitch itself.
I can't get chat to work on my account. I've gotten obslive and ground control installed. I start stream but it is not interacting with Chat.
@odd kraken 10-4 Thank you for the update!
Can anyone help me out with frame drops it seems to have gotten real bad latley
@empty magnet 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.
Having an issue with looping a video file (webcam) I've set the file to loop within streamelements but whenever the file has finished it just closes itself
Do not post your overlay url in public.
Fair enough
For some reason the file just disappears when it's finished playing and doesnt loop
Can you send me the video via PM please.
Sure
thank you
Restarted my stream to fix any "reconnecting to chat" issues
yeah im still dropping 14% of my frames
What can I do about certain overlay items not showing in stream but showing in interact, properties, and editor?
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/494513233416421386/696242923632853002/unknown.png
looks like its zoomed in
make sure the resolution is correct in the properties
click on the source and press ctrl+r then ctrl+f
It's set to 1920x1080... I'll try that real quick.
how do i creat a ticket? or is that not a thing here?

Yeah those are more tutorials. Im looking for help with my settings and stuff like that i want to make sure i have the proper settings for my stream.
wow im talking to a bot roflmfao
@wicked plaza There are no "best settings".
Please understand that every setup will be very different.
Any guides or videos that claim otherwise are misinforming. Your best option is to start with a base and adjust as necessary.
You can run the OBS auto-configuration tool. To use the auto-config, click on the Tools menu in OBS, select Auto-Configuration Wizard, and then just follow the on-screen directions.
You can use this tool to get baseline settings for your hardware and adjust as necessary from there.
Test, test, and test again. We are happy to offer suggestions for any issues you may be having afterwards, but not a list of settings.
Thank you 
interesting... even though its properties were 1920x1080 it was 2560x1440 since i had it locked i didnt notice it bleeding over. Thanks for the help @plain sonnet
np 👍

How do you change the stream chat in obslive to dark mode? I do not have the option to do so anymore.
BTTV settings in non-mod settings.
I have gone to non-mod settings and no longer have the dark mode option
thank you I found it
I've got an alert box set up and at the moment my alerts are not popping up even though the sounds are playing. They are popping up in the editor tho. Any guesses as to whats gone wrong?
@hollow kite 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
Ive done this and redone this already and it hasnt worked
Screenshot your browser source properties.
...never mind.
It helps if you make your alertbox visible.
Holy shit
Yeah im gonna head out
Just take me out back and put two in the back of my head please
Make an exception
Hi. Does anyone know if the media request tool's audio can be outputted to another audio source besides 'Desktop Audio'?
Any help to my query is appreciated. 🙂
Who can I talk to about an encoder error that reports to me from obs logs that in obs.live, obs.live files/ streamelements overlay files are crashing my stuff. It even creates an audio and visual delay and randomly adds time.
@sick root Please provide a log from your last stream. To do this, in OBS go to Help > Log Files > Upload Last Log File and paste the link to the log file here.
Please follow the instructions and provide a link.
@sick root 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+)

Any tips on making custom labels for Mixer?
Dear SE team, I have an issue since the last update. I use my GoXlr already for several months. Before the update I could adjust my music (played either on spotify or the media request in SE) with the music slider and my ingame volume with the system slider (as it should be). After the update the sound of the media request is controlled by the system slider (together with my ingame volume, what is really annoying), and not by the music slider anymore. When I listen to spotify, the music is still controlled by the music slider, as it should be, but the music requested through SE can't be controlled by it anymore. So when I turn the ingame volume up and down, the music of the media request is also changing. Can you help me with that? 🤍
ITs what I have for mediashare @tulip hamlet
If you want You can send me a call and I can screen share it

Hello, I just recently changed my name on twitch and originally my bot was not working in chat after I did so but i got it working again I just had to reable it, but I just got a few gifted subs and new subscriptions and my activity feed on obslive does not show I recieved such notification. My twitch dashboard said I got it and updated by my activity feed never did.
Question for all of ya, I need to set an audio delay and my advanced audio setting are nowhere to be found. Can i get some help?
to where you can apply an audio delay should be on your audio graph bar you clicc on the cog wheel then there advance audio properties and add the delay there
hmm weird cause it should always have a cog wheel on the audio graph 🤔
no matter what audio source you put
is there a github for past releases of obs live?
i googled and could only find the streamelements github nad looked thru the repositories but couldnt find anything related to obs-live
i seem to be having a very weird issue. my obs live was picking up my game as normal but when i updated it, it stopped picking up my game.
it still shows in the properties window for the source (game capture) but the preview window of obs is black.
i tried testing another game, stardew, which works fine, but it seems that an older game i've been playing 'risen' isn't being shown in the preview, just the properties window.
was hoping i could downgrade my update and use the last version, in hopes that it will function again. i've been streaming the game for days now without issue and am only now getting problems after the update i applied about an hour ago.
What is the original game you tried capturing?
Risen
hmm interesting. I would advise to check in with the OBS guys, as our plugin doesn't affect game capture: discord.gg/obsproject
okay thank you!
@safe gust If you would like help from the StreamElements support volunteers/staff please post your question in one of the helpdesk channels and someone will assist you as soon as they are available

Thank you for being patient.
try running the obs in Admin Mode
wait ill f
where
that SS you sent is the location of your exe within the folder
you could right clicc there and run as admin but easier to do it off the desktop
but go ahead an Rclicc and run as admin there
mine is just closing 5 sec after i open it
but as i was referring to the exe on Desktop is this
nothing happens 😦
thats the desktop exe
ok let try another way
do a window capture for your lobby
then do a game capture when you actually are playing?

❤️
There we go 
now after you try, try to game capture the battle to see if it captures if not hold ALT key and crop out the right side
you will see it go green and move it over that window thing there on obs
@kindred quest ok i looked at the report
so what we need to do is first: uninstall the obs.live then second: uninstall the obs 3rd: restart PC 4th: Install obs then reinstall our obs.live plugin
im pretty sure i had done that i uninstalled everything and reinstalled it all
i saw a msg like this up there earlier so i followed those steps
Hey people, im attempting to upload from streamlabs but its getting stuck at 90% constantly is that normal?

I have Voicemeeter and multiple VA cables, but i can't seem to get the game audio go through a different source.
that guide that was posted should help you?
i'll have a look, thanks
You're Welcome, Hope It Helps 🙂
Hi Support! 🙂 after i updated obs my stream now lag like never befor. any1 know what the issue could be ?
@trail ginkgo 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.
ahhh the fps thing

thanks alot 2deaf2hear
You're Welcome 
How would I go about making a transition image play at native FPS. When I add it to the transition, it slows down by a lot.
@late furnace Looked into the guides (voicemeeter) and they show noting i already knew.
I can send the pc game audio to a different source, i have to manually do that for every game, which is fine if there's no other way. Problem is that is doesn't seem to work for some games.
I did a test with GTA V, i forced it to a virtual cable and it still plays the audio through the default device. Do you know what the issue could be?
🤔 not quite sure, i am looking for one who has experience in that
could just be a simple audio setting within the game
no options there unfortunately
cause VM is somewhat complexed and learned couple things from their YT videos
but never tried on GTA
This is probably a question for the voicemeeter forums, i'll head over there.
im afraid so, for i have not wen that route yet, i is sowwy 
One last question
I'm also helping someone setting up Voicemeeter, but he's also thinking about getting a GO XLR instead of Voicemeeter. Do you know if separating the game audio is possible with GO XLR? (before he wastes money)
The GoXLR > Voicemeeter
a GO XLR is amazing
rather he splits or not he WILL NOT REGRET buying it
It’s the best streaming mixer that doesn’t require you to be an audio engineer
get a GO XLR mixer and a voice changer and he is GOLDEN
Alright so it's amazing haha. But on a single pc setup, can i seperate the pc game audio from desktop (default) audio? So that i have 2 audio sources in OBS?
tbh id spend my last paychecc for an XLR 
well i know enough, thanks guys!
You're Welcome

Anyone got an idea? It's driving me crazy T_T
hqave you tried making it a webm?
I've tried avi, mp4, and webp. I'll try webm now hopefully it helps
is it a stinger transition?
it is
try the webm

it should make it less transperent
and also render it very very well
i dont mind sacrificing some transparency if it goes faster than 1 frame per hour xD
webm should make it beautifully
Webm is more than sufficient for a stinger
@late furnace @kindred fox It went great, thank you for the advice! ^^
Anyone else experiencing an OBS Live crash since the last software update?

but you cant open it
i may have to send you over to obs discord
ok

Hello, I am not sure fi theres a Issue on my side. But fromy ersteday I had no problem streaming and capturing gameplay. After today update. It looks like the capture cannot find any games Tested on (For honor, CSGO, Borderlands 3)
Any idea how could I fix this?

running admin should fix it most of the time
how do i click on the OBS Discord invite?
Hi. In overlay editor text over image doesn't show the text in the alert box.
Hi! I’m helping someone set up a chat overlay through OBS. I use stream elements to create it and they use OBS on Mac. The chat will show up on stream elements but doesn’t seem to be sending it to the browser source I’ve made.
Hi, someone has probably already asked for this, but when I open OBS my game starts lagging, I have a 2060 OC, Intel Core i7-9700k and 32gb ram. I should be able to stream CSGO on low settings 144fps. My obs settings is 1920x1080 60fps, Bicubic, x264 with veryfast preset. 6000 kbps, and no overlay. So what can the problem be?
@nova narwhal be sure to ask your questions in de #dreamteam channel! 
I have spent half my day trying to set up an instant replay feature but it's not working out for me. I have followed this tutorial https://www.obs.live/articles/2019/10/4/b6zieupip1h45bgewyvp6gamwube7g But pressing Ctrl+shift+R only works when the Media Source is set to Loop... Still need some help!
looks like the fix was uninstalling both OBS Live and OBS Studio and reinstalling just OBS Studio, now I can stream again without the crash error
So i figured out the media player only shows up on stream when i press OK, so the replay has saved and is ready to go. Just the player doesnt update when pressing the shortcut button
these are the keys i have binded
Hello fellow Helpdesk.
I would like to know what is the best output (scaled) for a base canvas of 2560x1080?
Hey gang, When using OBS.Live, I used to have the option to change my font size. Now my Pop out is only the standard Twitch chat. Did I do something or is it no longer available?
I can not download the streamdeck plugin for SLobs
Every time I hit install it installs but then I am greeted with the downlaod button again
I have been having this issue for about 2 months now
I noticed that recently in order to resize stuff in obs.live that red box around the source has disappeared and I have to right click then hit edit transform and do it from there. Is this a bug or is there a setting I need to turn on?
I have allways done it like that
Yea I used to just resize with the red box that would appear when you clicked on it but it’s not there now
Every time I hit install it installs but then I am greeted with the download button again
Hello i just got a new update for obs live add on but i keep getting an error when i try to install it now my obs is completely disconnected from streamelements my alerts and overlays doesn't work. How can i fix this?
who are we supposed to be asking or willl they get back to us ?
@cerulean plover It's an all volunteer site, so sometimes there are some dead times -- but they are usually amazingly responsive and have excellent answers!
REEEEEEEEEE

Could try manually deleting it and retry

so just saying
hey my audio mixer isnt showing my audio output capture hoow do i fix this

Why do the default twitch emotes not show up in the Hypecup widget?
I got elgato streamdeck and used the obs live extension, as of late it disapeared from my drive and whenever I want to install it in the elgato software I cant do so for some reason. what am I ssupposed to do?
Hello, i am switching from Streamlabs to streamelements. I got a nerd or die overlay for streamlabs a week or so ago. I dont know how to upload my overlay to streamelements
there should also be a one-click-instal button for StreamElements in the files you got from NoD
or use the import tool on your dashboard
Ok. I dont see one. It shows a streamlabs one. But not a streamelements
then it's best to use the import tool
Thank you!
if that doesn't work for your overlays, you can check the NoD Discord
Ok. It says an error occured. Do i need to have both of them open?
yes
@wary dew any idea why the default emotes dont work?
When i switch scenes the screen just goes black for like 3 seconds and the scene actually pops up
Any idea how to get rid of the delay?
@north osprey check if there’s an updated download from NoD
i have a question, how come in OBS my stream looks great, but in twitch there are bars on the sides of the video??
what is your resolution set in OBS @coarse stag ?
give me a second please
@kindred fox Do you know how i could get rid of the delay?
Are you referring to your overlays loading?
im sorry, i dont do this enough...this?
wth resolution is that?
What is the resolution of your monitor?
your rescale output is the reason Twitch is showing black bars on your streams.
you need a 16x9 output
Is there a way to upload a file larger than 30mb?
I've compressed a file from 28gb down to 57mb, all my files combined are going to be about 100mb, far less than the 1gb limit, but 1 file is above the individual upload limit
What kind of file?
Yeah, i'm referring to my overlays loading why does it take 3 seconds to load :?
.webm file @kindred fox
@pallid fjord because you’re having to wait for the browser source to load
You have a webm larger than 100MB @toxic vortex ?
And there's no way to get rid of that?
The best method is to have a 3 second transition between scenes
I’d recommending finding a stinger
@kindred fox No, all my files that I'm uploading combined will be about 100mb. My webm file is 57mb but cant upload it due to the 30mb limit for individual files
this is as high as my resolution can go for outgoing
Seems a bit extreme to give me upto 1gb of space to upload but the limit individual files to 30mb
try it @coarse stag
How long is the video? Webm are tiny
It's a 5 minute scene
Uhhh.......I have questions.......
It was a 28gb .mov file, compressed to a 57mb webm
@pallid fjord you can have the source not shut down when not in use, then it shouldnt take time to load when switching to it. However, this may cause you to hear sounds from it even when it isn't in "view"

Again.....I have questions.....
Being?
Why? How?
That isnt a very clear question
they have questions, I just wanna see! 👀
How in the world do you get a 28Gb overlay asset? Why do you need a 5-minute video
@limber juniper Hmm, alrighty
production value gotta be 📈
It's a 5 minute countdown intro I created in after effects. Which rendered at 28gb .
It has been compressed to 56mb webm
I could easily do that
I’d do that instead
But then I might aswell do it for everything and delete streamelements and use slobs
That’s a big ass file
It's really not its 57mb lol
Whenever i watch a ''big'' streamer they don't seem to have any delay though is there a different file they use or something? @limber juniper
For a webm it's big but as a file it's really not much
I'll try that I guess
I dont understand why theres a 30mb limit if users are allowed upto 1gb though?
I could upload 100x 30mb files but I cant upload 1 single 57mb file just seems a bit strange
Not that it's much hassle I'll just have to mess around until I can get the file size down
well...so far so good? but i have to actually let it run for awhile to see how the drop rate is....it was bad as it was....be back soon i guess XD
@pallid fjord can you right click the overlay source and go to properties and screenshot that?
There is a hotkey to skip alerts, and a hotkey to reload overlays... is there any way to get one to pause alerts?
dmd you the screenshot @limber juniper
Hey guys, slowly testing out things as I'm hoping to switch over. I'm doing to tour for the Media Request on the OBSLive but it seems that no matter what URL that I put it says that its not a valid youtube URL. Is it looking for something in particular?
am hating obs so much right now
Naws, just a single song. Right now I'm trying to do Nitro Fun - Hidden Level by monstercat and I did the URL on my browser as well as the shared shortened URL on youtube.
every single time
it stopps my stream
all sudden
why this shitty ass program
doing this
Please manually upload your log file.
(Windows)
- Press win+r to open the Run dialog
- Paste the following into the box and hit OK: %APPDATA%\obs-studio\logs
- Then find the desired log file (usually the latest) and drag/drop it into this channel.
@spice 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.
please paste a log from a stream then ended here
@dense lake I only know of those buttons and the StreamDeck integration for doing such things.
did the stream from this log stop?
logs are session based (open and closing obs)
best to go through and find a log where you streamed, they are labelled by date and time so its easy to do
@limber juniper so with a streamdeck I can do it?
Absolutely!
only 1
@limber juniper gotta say it, it is super weird that I cant just assign one in OBS though right?
ahh sorry
which one has a stream in it?
@dense lake I think adding hotkeys in the plugin is a great suggestion that can be submitted to the SE team!
they are by date and time, so you will know when you streamed if it has data in it
@obtuse scarab Please follow our community rules:

Thank you
i streamed a lot so i have no idea
well the only log that shows streaming stopped has this
02:55:28.762: [rtmp stream: 'adv_stream'] User stopped the stream
with this info there is nothing more we can do.
if the stream stops suddenly again, do not close obs
go to help > log files > upload current
copy the url and paste it here
you can restart obs if you need
it happened 5 times alreayd today
im just reading through
@spice cedar i still see the same message
22:52:44.756: obs-browser: streaming stop requested by UI control
there is a lot of decreasing bitrate, all the way down to 500
as there is no ==== Streaming Stop === in the log or any info about drops in the analyser, my only thought at this point is your connection drops to 0.
i am currently asking about this so hope to give you a definitive answer when i receive it.
@spice cedar the server is rejecting your connection.
try disabling the options you have enabled in
settings > advanced > network
which option?
you have dynamic bitrate enabled, untick that
if that doesnt help, just tick everything
every time i try to launch obs it says "Woops, OBS has crashed!" how do i stop this from happening and get it to work properly?
are you running it as administrator?
i have tried both
windows 10
@coral trellis To find the OBS Studio crash logs, follow these steps:
- Press Win+R to open the Run dialog
- Type in:
%APPDATA%\obs-studio\crashesand press Enter - Upload the desired crash log, usually the latest, directly to this Discord channel by dragging and dropping the file into the chat window
is this a fresh install of OBS?
Do you get the same error if you try to run vanilla (just) OBS?
and crashlogs plixx
yes @paper fog i have tried both
thank you. I'm looking into it
@coral trellis Start by updating OBS.
it will not let me update
OBS (Open Broadcaster Software) is free and open source software for video recording and live streaming. Stream to Twitch, YouTube and many other providers or record your own videos with high quality H264 / AAC encoding.
and do a fresh install
is there a way to do a fresh install and keep all my sources, scenes, and overlays?
afaik you can only do this by manually exporting your scenes in OBS - I MIGHT be wrong about this.
and SE also implemented a cloud save functionality in january i believe
You should always run OBS as an administrator.
oh ok thank u
yes. And regarding exporting your scenes in OBS
Go to "Scene Collection" up on the top row
Press "Export" and then point it to where you want to save your scenes
although I would recommend using the cloud save function that StreamElements has added - If possible
By using the cloud save you can access it from wherever you need as long as you are connected to the internet. (which you hopefully are since you are going to stream)
how do i go about cloud saving?
pretty much the same procedure as exporting the scenes manually.
Press "StreamElements" on top row
press "Cloud Backup"
and then "backup settings and content"
one question: earlier on you said that OBS crashed on startup? or did I misunderstand
yea every single time i try to open it it crashes
could we possibly get into a call? @paper fog
Give me about 10ish minutes and I'll poke you. ok?
alright
a quick question: have you updated your gpu drivers lately?
yep and i just checked a little bit ago to make sure
oh!
and one more thing to try
(Sorry I'm a bit on and off (i'm in the midst of a game
)
go to
find your "obs-studio" folder
(or wherever you have your AppData folder
if you rename that folder (don't delete it) to say obs-studio-backup
and then try to run OBS
Just switched over to StreamElements, built my overlays in StreamElements editor, but for the life of me I cannot get my store redemptions to show up...the music plays but no gifs. However, if I have the StreamElements editor open it shows on there, just not within OBS...help?
@placid yarrow 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
Display capture doesn't seem to be working I have a black screen.
That part was completed, I was just referring to the Store redemptions...everything else shows up fine besides anything redeemed.
now @paper fog how do i import my scenes?
alrighty!
I'm done fooling around and ready to focus on you @coral trellis
I take it that you managed to run OBS after the renaming of the obs-live folder?
and if so: Did you update it?
could we hop in a call now?
erm.. could you hear me?
Hiya! I am trying to install the StreamElement obs plug in for streamdeck. It keeps saying that I need to install after I have done so. Everything is up to date and restarted my comp.
@edgy jacinth - Open %appdata%\Elgato\StreamDeck\Plugins
- Delete the
com.streamelements.obslive.sdplugin folder
Worked! Thank you!
Is there a way to see your chat/your own stream on the same monitor as your playing your games on as some sort of overlay? My phone gets really hot if i use it to watch my stream back..
Ok to update?
