Yes and OBS LIVE will work?
@turbid arch Yes! 😁
@placid yarrow have you check the dimension of the overlay? 1920 x 1080 by default
Thank you, it is all fixed now!
@spare hound Laptop?
This was fun! I bought another streamdeck and plugged it in. Started OBS Live to config the two and make some changes - OBS Live crashed real good! I uninstalled OBS Live and kept just OBS - then I could start OBS with the StreamDeck software whitout crashing. But now I can't see my overlays from StreamElements!
Hey gang. I still can't get my OBS and Zoom to like each other. When I (Window Capture) my Zoom meeting it doesn't show the players at all (just an all-white screen). Anyone know what I'm doing wrong with that tepid description of the problem?

No one?

Can I install OBS Live over OBS and still keep my Scenes and Sources to see if it still crashes??
@valid swallow yes, but just to be sure make a backup (export them, on OBS go to Profile > Export, and Scene Collection >Export)
@valid swallow Please use this link : https://streamelements.com/obslive
You can download the zip version of OBS and run as is. It'll grab the sources/settings automatically without doing anything.
@tulip hamlet yes
@spare hound Due to the way laptops are designed, your system must be configured to run OBS on a specific GPU, depending on the type of capture you are trying to do.
For Game Capture and Window Capture (recommended), your system must be configured to run OBS on your laptop’s high performance GPU (default); for Display Capture, your system must be configured to run OBS on your laptop’s power saving GPU (iGPU).
If you are running Windows 10 1903 or newer, use this guide for instructions on how to configure your system: https://github.com/obsproject/obs-studio/wiki/Laptop-GPU-Selection-Windows-10
For instructions on configuring an older version of Windows (you should consider upgrading), use this guide: https://obsproject.com/wiki/Laptop-Troubleshooting
Can you add hype boss to multiple overlays or would that make them separate bosses?
@hot dove The boss is channel-based, so it'll be the same data in all instances of the widget.
So i'm having an issue with getting my chatbot to actually change it's name to my custom bot account. I've looked through OBS Live and I can't find the option to change the name, and if I go through "Bot and Tipping Setup", it says everything is good to go
@gray dock See pinned messages.
@tulip hamlet thank you
This is what I'm getting when I try to window capture... I'm new to this but the tutorials made it seems way easier to get done. What am I doing wrong?
@thin kernel For the best OBS support, please join their Official Discord @ discord.gg/obsproject
I’m have a bit of trouble with my stream elements custom overlays and obs. There seems to be a lot of stuttering on things like alerts and customs videos for my stream starting soon screen. When I just import things straight into obs that has never happened. Stream Elements is suppose to reduce the strain on your system right?
I'm getting file failed to upload when importing a video file on SE for some reason
@toxic vortex what is the size of the file?
Where do you wanna upload this file? on alert?
Nah it's an overlay
are you using Google Chrome?
please do that
Fixed, bloody browsers @honest echo
Thanks
Quick question though, how does the "enable custom font" feature work?
@toxic vortex Google Fonts
More than 900 google fonts are supported at this time. You can preview them here: https://fonts.google.com/
Custom Fonts
Steps:
- Install the font on the streaming PC or choose a pre-installed windows font.
- In the overlay widget settings, select Text Settings
- Enable Custom Font
- Type the name of the font as it appears in the windows font directory (This is usually
C:\Windows\Fonts)
Note: After installing fonts, the browser and OBS must be restarted for the font to appear.
Sorted, deleted cache and it works
@toxic vortex Set the text color.
Have I not? that's white
Look again.
If I change to any colour it does nothing
Look again. What I took a screenshot of is not what is in yours.
You're probably changing the wrong color.
Ahh right whats the 2nd one for?
What's immediately next to it?
How do I crop my webcam within OBS live?
The same way you crop it in OBS Studio. OBS.Live is just a plugin.
how do you reconnect to obs live? its open but it doesnt updat the chat and i cant change the stream info
@marsh void Streamelements on top of OBS -> Logout -> login
the stream info still wont connect
Hello support, please can you reset my Chatstats page before i stream for the first time ? Forgot to exclude my new name (GuiomParsec) and Streamelements before making tests.
Unless there's a way to reset it myself ?
@tulip hamlet Im having trouble cropping it w/ the edges though. I can't seem to round out my webcam.
I am here because support requests through OBS StreamElements has gone unanswered for too long.
So I have 2 issues that need addressing and maybe fixed asap, because both are damn annoying and if OBS ever fix their mixer authentication I will dump this add on in a heart beat. Till then It is only because of the mixer side of it I am interested.
Problem 1: If I stream to Youtube, Facebook or Twitch (yes each have their own profile) and close OBS.Live down on any of those profiles, OBS.Live when it starts up changes the loaded profile to connect to Mixer and over right what I had in that profile. The only way I can stop that, is to make sure I am on the Mixer profile before exiting OBS.Live
Problem 2: If I am using OBS.Live and switch to any of the other profiles that is not my Mixer profile, it continually wants to connect to Mixer Authentication every time I start to stream. The only way around this, is to switch to OBS Studio instead.
Both of these options are stopping me from using OBS.Live and as stated I am only using it for the ability to change the Mixer details of what game I am streaming without having to go to the browser. If OBS Studio ever adds that I am dumping OBS.Live.
The Chatbot doesn't work, those two above issues are problematic for me and point blank would like to see it all working!
Profiles are only one part of the equation. OBS.Live has its own login, which you manage in the StreamElements menu at the top.
I think you miss the point, I do not expect my profile to modified each and every time by OBS.Live and I certainly don't expect to be challenged to connect to Mixer on a profile that is not for Mixer.
Your profile is not being modified. If you are logged into Mixer with OBS.Live in the StreamElements menu at the top, then it will continue to try to do Mixer things.
yes it is
You need to log out and log in with the channel you want to stream with.
if I am using my twitch profile and exit OBS.Live and then open OBS.Live back up, my twitch stream seetings have changed form twitch to mixer.
@thick ridge so you clicked on StreamElements in the menu bar and clicked log out and then logged in with your twitch?
You still have to sign out/in even switching profiles
The profile saves your stream key via OAuth to the streaming platform, but you have to log out / in via the streamelements menu to utilize the obs.live functionality for the platform you’re streaming to
Why can't Stream Elements be smart enough to not do it?? OBS Studio doesn't have that issue, the only issue I have with OBS Studio is I can't change the stream info regarding the gam I am streaming. If it did, I would dump OBS.Live in a heart beat!
Instead of being reset to empty, all the old data just came back on my chatstats page. I would want a blank new one i you can please.
!setgame is the command to change the game category
!settitle sets the title of your stream
Ez pz
There are known issues with the Mixer bot that are being investigated. Unfortunately, we cannot provide an ETA for a fix at this time.
thanks, that is all I can ask for.
It worked thanks 
I tought that the chatstats page was related to the StreamElements Leaderboards settings. How can i tell chatstats to ignore me and my bots ?
Are you referring to this page? https://streamelements.com/guiomparsec
If yes, there is no way to add names/users to an ignore list
No i mean that page https://stats.streamelements.com/c/guiomparsec
ok then it's not that bad. No one really cares about those stats anyway, but it should be on your to do list imo.
Because there's an ignore list for the StreamElements Leaderboards panel extension...
the extension and chatstats are 2 different things
Yeah that's what i thought, but one should follow the other's example i think.
i need help i have an orverlay on my screen but when i add a capture display it just go's over it
and i cant see the over lay
can anyone help

In the sources list, put the overlays above the display capture

@nova swift yup 🙂
hello im having issues with my stream elements chat not working on obs studios says error loading data and also shows no on on when activity says theres 2 viewers
@sudden jay Streamelements on top of OBS -> Logout -> login
thank you will try
Hello all. I have one of my accounts that the alerts work sometimes. Using overlay with LightStream due to user streaming direct from xbox
occasionally they do not work. sounds will play, not graphic. and then sometimes nothing happens at all
HELP!
Streamelements OBS, does this have a feature where I am able to capture by region? So say specifically I want to capture something on my screen and only that, is there no option for that within the program?
StreamElement obs.live is a plugin but on obs you can capture things by window/display and you can alter it to display only what you want by cropping it with the Alt key
far as i know about the "region capture" was a feature on obs classic i believe
your ALT key next to the windows key
You're welcome
when you start to crop, it will turn the bars green 🙂
Hey
Preview seems to work fine but I can't get the program screen to show the same
and hello
@dire dock 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
@dire dock OBS -> settings -> advanced -> scroll down -> enable/disable hardware accel.
https://i.imgur.com/ggMe9ZE.png
Still not showing on the program side the same view as in the preview.
You mean StreamElements overlay?
I just want to get the game capture to show
Ah
Do I even need the stream elements overlay for that?
Is obs runned as admin?
yup, doesn't seem to help though
as in the program side of the display it doesn't show what it shows in the preview screen.
tried re-adding the game capture also but nothing.
@dire dock Please provide a log from your last stream. To do this, in OBS go to Help > Log Files > Upload Last Log File and paste the link to the log file here.
@dire dock laptop?
desktop
I've had this issue with league of legends in saturday but somehow managed to get it fixed
now with Halo:MCC I seem to be not able to.
With league its fine
but with Halo it's somehow not.
ugh
Nothing still... :/
no change
halo is a UWP game sometimes it is hard to capture them usually fastest hook resolves it but you may have to go to obs discord to see why
are you trying game capture or window capture?
game capture
use window capture
just like the settings i posted?
sometimes UWP games is a B sometimes lol
some "game cap" works and some only will do "win cap"
well win cap doesnt also work xD
it's odd that I recorded last week Halo MCC just fine
close obs then run the exe as admin and try again?
then you may need to go to obs discord to see why maybe
cause it should work on window cap
i do too play from the UWP games from the xbox beta app as well
._.
an i run into that as well
maybe something is bloccin it
we can try a recording an see what happens
do a 30sec record and upload youre log file??
cause the new obe ver25 still needs things worked out if you upgraded
I get the feeling it might the version since my obs live version 20.3.8.603 (streamelements)
I think it's this.
works great on my obs ver and i have obs 24.0.3 an obs.live ver 20.3.8.603
@dire dock Please provide a log from your last stream. To do this, in OBS go to Help > Log Files > Upload Last Log File and paste the link to the log file here.
guess my obs is scuffed 😉
just a joke
ah
its just when we play from the xbox beta app it runs UWP and sometimes its wonky
often loves you but lil does it hate you 
I guess today its in a bad mood then x)
we need some Manpons for it 
hopefully the log will reveal it 
what if we try this? > Make sure the source is already captured (Game Capture > Specific Window > Select your game (And ignore that is is black-screen for now.)
Set Hook Rate on the capture source to Fastest (Not sure if Fast show the same result, or not) [Bottom of the list in Properties]
Save [Hit OK] (And Restart OBS, to be sure nothing is being phantom captured due to missed hooks)
... 😭
no go?
aye
it worked? 
@dire dock 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 to stream to face book with obs 64 bit app on my pc, the display cature is working but game capture remains a black screen, can any one help please
Hi
hey
@solar plover Hey, are you running this game in administrator mode or not? If yes, you have to run your obs in admin mode normally. ^^
Works most of the times, otherwise, use a window capture instead
Good morning/afternoon. I'm new here and trying to figure things to help two streamer friends. I've created overlays based on one of the themes available, but I'm seeing a big delay (over 1 second) when switching scenes and having to load the browser source.
I think I've read somewhere that there are Europe servers (I'm based in Ireland), but also I was wondering if it would make sense to have those overlays as local files, and if so whether that's possible as my dashboard only provides links for the overlays.
Thanks in advance 🙂
The SE Overlays cant be downloaded, that is against our ToS
we only work with the Links for browser sources
I've thought so. Is there a way to get links to servers closer to my location as to reduce the delay in loading them?
Or should that be handled automatically by some load balancer?
Hi StreamElements! I recently started streaming live DJ sets on Twitch and have been running into an issue with AlertBox. It seems to cause my sound to cut off. I then have to restart my soundcard (Universal Audio Apollo Twin). The problem goes away when I remove AlertBox. Thanks!
Heyo, quick question to almost everything
How do I add alarmboxes and the livechat to my livestream?

does obs.live work with streamlabs obs
Nope, works with OBS.Studio tho
ok, and where can i find that
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.
thanks
@toxic vortex 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

I'm having issues with my Alert Box on OBS.Live. It isn't functioning the same as it is in the SE Editor. Alerts are supposed to be 10 secs in length, IF it works in OBS.Live it lasts maybe 1.5 secs, and most of the time it just blinks and doesn't do anything more. Any suggestions?
Please keep your questions in one channel. Thank you.
Sorry... thought it was more appropriate for here
Is there a way to add songrequests to the backup playlist like nightbot does?
have a question like that, in Streamelemets the overlay is shown to me normally, all alerts go, but when I copy the link I see no overlay since the last update, the sound goes, but no overlay available to do something
@foggy cave OBS -> settings -> advanced -> scroll down -> enable/disable hardware accel.
https://i.imgur.com/ggMe9ZE.png
Its already avaible
Then disable it please.
oh its working ? Thank you vey much.
but why didn’t go before
thx
Is it possible that the song request isn't working?
obs.live just did an update and now my chat window no longer has dark mode
does anyone know as to why my streamelements sound alerts will play in stream but i cannot hear them? ill get the notification someone used it, and my chat will hear it, but i will not.
I just downloaded stremelements and OBS live and i'm doing all the initial setup. I'm currently on the part about copying and pasting the tipping link into my tipping panel. I do not have a tipping panel, or any panels at all for that matter. How do i do this part?
Where do i go and post this link. WHat parts am i missing?
you should just be able to skip that step.
yea it says i can skip it, but if i'm able to set it up now then why not, you know?
I am having a problem with the already generated graphics from the website. They do not fit into the stream, I have tried to resize the source to fit screen and also tried to set it to my settings. I have ran out of options unless I am missing something
I am using SLOBS if that makes a difference
so my obs is working but not my streamelements obs
I just downloaded obs.live and the docks are not showing
@strange tendon 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
It looks like standard obs
yeah i wanna see when ppl are view or had followed me i dont have that screen in obs.
just found it its under the tab "streamelements"
i dont heave that tab..
im using obs studio idk if i should have a different one
@kindred quest https://obs.live
download obs.live
okay thats my issue thanks i'll download that one
this is were i get the woops, obs has crashed ... been doing this for days
try unstalling obs first
then just install obs.live only?
You cannot install OBS.Live only.
OBS.Live is a plugin for OBS Studio.
It is not its own software.
okay well ive uninstalled this obs 3 times the past few days when i install obs.live i get that error
@kindred quest 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
Yesterday i was streaming on medium to high graphics of modern warfare getting 80-100 fps however today i streamed and out of nowhere my frames dropped to 60 or below like what? i tried lowering the settings and it didnt work can someone please help? even after i closed obs o was getting around 100 fps when i usually get 144+ fps when im not streaming i need help someone please.
@kindred quest Uninstall OBS.Live, leaving only OBS Studio installed.
Open OBS Studio and delete your browser sources.
Reinstall OBS.Live, and then remake your browser sources.
@raven yoke 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.
@tulip hamlet okay thanks i'll let u know how this goes thanks for helping me!
How do you change the chat to night mode?
@shell junco See pinned messages.
why do i have to click the save replay button twice for it to save?
@raven yoke Please read the instructions and provide a link, not a file.
bttv isnt there
why has the bot name change gone or is it just me???
@mental garnet Currently renaming the bot fully works with OBS.Live.
You can follow this video guide to set it up: https://discordapp.com/channels/141203863863558144/494513233416421386/561516184718278676

how do I see my recordings after i record something
Hi All, Any advice on importing Alert Box settings from Streamlabs if the Chrome extension is giving an error?
hai! i was having trouble with my tiltify notifications showing up but i can't figure out why
@granite pelican One tab logged into SE, one tab logged into SL, then run it.
No avail
@granite pelican Screenshot the error please.
@mighty scarab Reconnect your Tiltify account.
@fading copper By opening the recording?
but where?
Where you saved it?
im so confused so im in obslive and i hit start recording after when im done recording i hit stop then it doesnt let me save it anywhere or anyhting like that
You can find your recordings path here: Settings > Output
Thank you @odd kraken
@tulip hamlet okie thank you! 
@tulip hamlet I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong - for now I will just use the StreamLab Alerts link as a source but does that mean I can't use the Activity Feed portion of StreamElements, whereas once this imports, I will have a new alertbox with my custom alerts and can pause and replay from the activity feed?
I'm also curious about integration with Donor Drive Charity Streaming - Streamlabs lets me connect a donation page, if I import my alertbox successfully, will I be able to get DonorDrive donation alerts still?
There may be something in your alertbox that won't import, such as a file that is too large, or Streamlabs-owned assets.
We do not have DonorDrive integration.
Ok thank you, I can still use StreamElements for chat and bot even if I use the StreamLab link as a source still?
and hopefully in future I can figure it out. I really appreciate your help
any answer to why my chat window is no longer dark mode after the last update?
Check pinned messages in this channel.
oh ok thanks
Hey I just updated OBS Live and I'm unable to see where to update my stream information (formerly in View --> Docks)
@spiral charm try to disconnect your account and connect it back
@rugged quail do you have Obs.live installed?
How do I remove channels from my account?
Exactly, but that Menu (StreamElements) only appear if you have Obs.live installed
Hello!
I reinstalled Windows last week and today I installed OBSLive again. It says "Video not avaiable in your Country".
So the search function didn't help me fix my problem. So it works in the dashboard but not in OBSLive!
Can someone help out?
Can I upload a webm file with my animated logo to stream elements to be loaded on my overlays?
My logo is a webm that would be looping
Sure, of course you can.
saw a video guide that showed the application of it
how much storage do we get per account?
I mean, webms are small anyway but
that's really good
having everying in the cloud
also, is there any way to integrate some parts of the overlay being triggered by a viewer
more specifically, viewer spending loyalty points to show something on screen
is there something wrong with obs live?
@rugged quail No?
its been loading for 20 min
@restive rock "Stream perk" items in your stream store can show a video or gif and sound effect if that's what you're looking for.
You mean the merch store?
That's not exactly that I'm looking for, no
oh my b
just saw what the stream perk is
man
stream labs is dooooope
Hey I am trying to switch from an old version of OBS to OBS live but my elgato won't show up as a source. Is there an easy fix for this?
@full lagoon Reinstall your elgato plugin.
The elgato game capture plug in or is this a specific plug in for OBSlive
We having issues with OBS?
No?
So, I have a potentially odd question about OBS.Live. I'm wanting to have different resolutions for recording and streaming. In other words, I'm wanting to keep my stream the exact same as it is, 1920x1080, but I'm wanting to set up a separate scene for recording that's 3840x1080, so that I can record my gameplay and camera "separately", for editing purposes. Is this possible, or do I just need to keep changing my resolution in settings when I want to record, rather than stream? Anyone have any ideas?
how do I make my media request play through my headset and on stream
If some one is good with OBS please message me or add me as a friend I need help thanks
@bleak wolf For the best OBS support, please join their Official Discord @ discord.gg/obsproject
hey heyy :) for some reason my media request doesnt load :p
@toxic sable Streamelements on top of OBS -> Logout -> login
hello my audio is not playing on my stream but it does in a recording what am i doing wrong?
Check your audio settings.
not sure what you mean?
I'm not even sure which helpdesk to ask this in but I was googling but google foo fails me. I wonder if it's possible to have a widget or overlay popup (like an alert) in response to a chat command. Example: moderator activate !tacocat and on stream it pops up the graphic for the tacocat stream. Like a super shoutout
Thank you! This looks like exactly what I want
Is there a non-video tutorial on how to setup this widget up?
I'm deaf and bad focus, videos is difficult to follow along
I think I sorta figured it out~
@tulip hamlet i've got most things working, but now that I have my alert box set up, the alerts are cut off, like only half of it shows up in the widget
@full lagoon The default resolution for StreamElements overlays (theme and custom) is 1920x1080. Please add them in OBS at their full resolution and use CTRL+F to fit to screen if necessary. You can then downscale your stream in OBS settings > Video if you'd like https://i.imgur.com/6bWXxjR.png
Any chance why I cannot switch my chat to dark mode?
Kinda blinding 😛 Went into the cog settings as well, no option.
check first pinned message
@shy mountain Will do now
Okay, for now. I need a size to go for my overlay to go onto obs live. What one should I do
@clear tiger The default resolution for StreamElements overlays (theme and custom) is 1920x1080. Please add them in OBS at their full resolution and use CTRL+F to fit to screen if necessary. You can then downscale your stream in OBS settings > Video if you'd like https://i.imgur.com/6bWXxjR.png
Thanks cheers
and also
I'm trying to get my video capture device into the place that I want to go
It's not technically the size that I want
I'm using the force field animated super theme
Still need someone
What exactly is the issue here? Are you not able to resize the webcam source or something else?
Would be best if you can provide a screenshot as well
to understand what you are trying to do
Can't get the webcam into that little camera overlay
make sure you have the right resolution set here to match the 16:9 aspect ratio and then move it into the box.
I wonder 
Thats up to you to decide if you like it or not.
@restive veldt 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+)
@clear tiger I would prefer not saying my opinion :)
Tip: If you like it, then use it, if you dont like it, change specifically what you don't like. This is entirely your own stream and you are the best person to know what your own community/viewers will like in your stream.
Aww,, alright. Suit yourself
Please understand that this discord, or specifically the helpdesk channels are used if you have an issue with our tools and features (even issue with OBS Studio and as much as we can help troubleshoot it).
Its not a helpdesk for "how does my stream look? will you watch it?" etc - #general-chat can be used for opinions and tips, as long as you still follow our server rules and don't advertise for views and f4f, h4h, etc, etc.
How do I get the chat box?

hey is there a way to test sub wigets?
@cloud apex You can test Alerts via the bell on the lower right corner of the Overlay Editor. Simply go to your Dashboard -> My Overlays -> Pencil/edit button on the overlay. Make sure the "Show Emulated events on stream" option is on to see the alert in OBS/Xsplit https://streamable.com/h6qgy
what about while in obs?
it will preview in obs when you do it over at the site
you'll need to do it via the site, cant test in obs itself
Hi, could annyone help me? About the social media stream integration always are the tweets on twitter with an older title and game. I reconnected SE in the Dashboard many times, but always the same. What could I done wrong or what can I do to solve the issue?

@restive veldt For the best OBS support, please join their Official Discord @ discord.gg/obsproject
@magic cave you can ask in there if you think german is easier for you than english
Easier of course, but not necessary, if you excuse my bad english some times ^^
after every new start of obs, i must launch the media request tutorial.. i tried with and without two factor auth.. any ideas?
@sharp tulip Streamelements on top of OBS -> Logout -> login
@magic cave can you elaborate on the issue exactly? what or which twitter?
yes, after relog the same
did you finish the tour completely without skipping it?
yes 😦
@shy mountain If I start a stream, then will send a tweet automatical on Twitter. But always with an older title and game. I disconnect Twitter and connect it again. But the same issue happens. The wrong title and game. I changed title and game many times, but nothing seems to help.
oh that does happen with twitch yhea
that is not a problem with us
if I manually post a link to my twitch account it will show an older title and game for some reason
aah the thumbnail preview?
exactly
twitter thumbnail issue, nothing we can do about it
have you an idea how to fix it?
@sharp tulip Would you be willing to do a quick team viewer session?
@storm hound 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+)
Can you get us one of these?
You told me your CPU is on the low end, but with this log we can see a lot more about the issue
here is your results but i suggest you game on hardwire connection instead of Wifi https://obsproject.com/analyzer/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fobsproject.com%2Flogs%2FQwJCjKUyHDrS_zo1
@late furnace wired connection isnt an option atm 😭 box is in my living room
Yeah ppl usually have their modem/router in the other room, but it is way better to stream, play and all that on wired casue simply Wifi is not there yet to game on. You could have 8 million down an 1 million up and it will still interfer with everything
not here to doubt ya, just want you to have a better experience ya know 
@late furnace i understand 😢 but at this point idek if I'll be able to stream from this laptop with all these issues
you never know till you adjust what is wrong with it
😅 im really not sure how. All of this is new to me
In that link you sent just try to fix all the red? Or?
Does anyone know how to hide a source in all scenes using a streamdeck? im trying to create a button that toggles the webcam in all scenes where its used.
i have set a source but i am still getting a black screen can someone help
what source are you talking about?
is it possible to activate/deactivate elements of your overlay (say, the camera frame) outside of the SE overlay editor? i don't have a stream deck, but i'm using up deck, so it can do a lot of the same things i think.
For some reason my OBS is really buggy. My scenes keep duplicating themselves, stuff is missing, and I can't edit my scenes at all. Trying to disable the webcam and nothing happens, I can't move it around either. I have no idea what is happening or why, not had any crashing or anything. Google isn't helpful either, people don't seem to be having the same problem as me, from what I am reading. Has anyone else had this issue? I've updated OBS as well as obslive and there is no change.
@heady vigil You can use hotkeys to toggle scenes. For the cam frame, you can use an own browser source for the cam frame.
@odd kraken thank you! i had no idea you could do that
😴 trying to find settings on my laptop to get se working is taxing
Im having trouble with a widget. It keeps making the sound of the notification even when it's not activated
But it only shows the video when I test it
Is there some setting I'm missing to have it stop once it's done
Any know issues with browers sources/Overlays I can't get mine to work.
Tried:
-update OBS and OBS.live
-restart OBS.live and my PC
-recreate the Browser source with the exact settings recommended on your official website
I can see the overlay on the link in the browser and edit it in the overlay editor, but OBS can't seem to find them.

For twitch?
Hello, i have two problems with Obslive
When i open SNES and set in game capture, the SNES stay white. (sorry bad english)
And other problem is the chat box, does not appear in stream.
@patent oasis To add your overlays to OBS, add a new browser source in your scene. Paste your overlay URL in the browser source properties, set the dimensions to 1920x1080 (unless you changed them on the website), and ☑ “Shutdown source when not visible” https://youtu.be/KDvLynUqXI4
I did this process, my problem is just the chat box
Other overlays works perfectly.
What platform do you stream on?
Hey devs, is it possible to drop multiple emotes in the HypeCup instead of just dropping 1 when recieving a sub?
@patent oasis Tried to check myself and I do not seem to get chat in the chat widget either. Will ask staff.
@patent oasis Please provide your account ID found at the top of this page: https://streamelements.com/dashboard/account/channels This ID is public info and safe to share here.
Ok thx
Can you please provide the accountId, so I can forward that to staff.
where i can take this?
Look at what the bot psoted.
yes, thank you.
And the first problem?
What can i do?
SNES bug when i set game capture

Best possible way of using Restream with OBS.Live?

Hey devs, is it possible to drop multiple emotes in the HypeCup instead of just dropping 1 when recieving a sub??
There is no restream support with OBS.Live.

@rugged quail You can test Alerts via the bell on the lower right corner of the Overlay Editor. Simply go to your Dashboard -> My Overlays -> Pencil/edit button on the overlay. Make sure the "Show Emulated events on stream" option is on to see the alert in OBS/Xsplit https://streamable.com/h6qgy
Sorry? Can you ealborate?
Remove the transparent grid pattern.
how
Via a photo editing tool.
Not aware of any phone tool. Maybe best to google that.
ok
I'm sorry, as I'm sure it has been asked a lot, but... OBS 25 support for OBS.Live when?
Is already supported.
hey guys my obs is recording everything fine but when i go to stream the audio is not picking up on the stream. its not recording audio when im streaming but it does when i record. i can also see the green lines move when i talk and when i hear game audio
@lime berry Save your secens and profiles and download and install OBS.Live from here: https://www.obs.live/
@stark marsh For the best OBS support, please join their Official Discord @ discord.gg/obsproject
@steel blade im already on there and there not being much help
apparently I had to get the official OBS update first, then OBSLive offered me the update for OBS 25, where the download failed
Installing from the website, then
ok, so I installed the OBSLive from the website and it's now all running again
I kinda don't like how every time a OBS.Live update comes out, I have to run the setup.exe from my Downloads folder instead of hitting "Update" and having the program just update itself, but that's just how it is
Hello, I wanted to ask if we are allowed to use the "Rockrobot.webm" for sub alarms?
this little guy, ya can find him when ya start up the Obs.live tool for the first time
Hi Support! 🙂 i streamed yesterday and my cpu was fine, under 6% as always, today i try to stream its always 17%..... im not even live only on 1 scene, do u know what could course this ?thanks
Hi! I'm not entirely sure where to ask or where to post, But I'm hoping somebody can help me! I just recently picked up an Elgato HD60s to stream Animal Crossing from my switch. After an annoying amount of time, I have it all set up and dandy. However, the audio comes through the capture card source but it echoes onto the desktop audio... This is frustrating as my stream hears it twice or as if there's a weird filter going on.. Does anyone have any idea how I can fix this? ❤️
@manic cape For the best OBS support, please join their Official Discord @ discord.gg/obsproject
thanks 👍
yeah that place is a clusterfuck of people having no idea at all how to work or do anything, is there really nobody here who has experience with the HD60s or any other Elgato capture card?
How do I activate themes/overlays? Like, how I import them from the website?
@rugged quail To add your overlays to OBS, add a new browser source in your scene. Paste your overlay URL in the browser source properties, set the dimensions to 1920x1080 (unless you changed them on the website), and ☑ “Shutdown source when not visible” https://youtu.be/KDvLynUqXI4
@manic cape I had the same issue, ya can mute the desktop audio and set a secondary sound source for the captured audio and yar mic
Not a pro tip, but it worked for me
can some one maybe be like a tour guide kind of because i just installed obs.live

@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.
so its saying no issues?
It says, there is no streaming session to analyse in that log file.
ah ok lol.. is ther a way i can take old log files and look those up ?
Help > Log files > Show log files will show you your log files.
or should i just stream quick and get a log file?
ya im in there now, but how do i use those in obs log analyzer?
You can send them here and I will try to let them analyse.
kk
Or you can DM them to the OBS bot in the OBS discord.
can i dm u ? so i dont show my log files here or doesnt matter?
@plain sonnet thanks dude but I know how to test the alerts gucci
I fixed my previous audio issue with the capture card
but now I have an issue with not being able to hear alerts as I have desktop audio muted so it doesnt echo the capture card
Benno i think my stream was fine at that log file, maybe u can compare these 2 see if difference ?
does anybody know how to hear the alerts from SE with desktop audio muted on the scene?
amazing how a quick 2 minute fix took around 6 hours to find, and it caused another issue 
overlays use desktop audio for the sound.
what you can do is go into the browser properties and select "control audio via obs"
this will give you a mixer for that source so it can be used to output to stream.
NOTE: you will need to untick this option when you unmute your desktop audio as it will cause echoes again @manic cape
amazing, thank you so much @plain sonnet !
np 👍
it sounds a little weird and rocky for a half second but it smooths out after, bit weird, but good enough, im tired man xD
Amen to that, thanks again bud 

Hey where do i put the overlay url's?
@junior glen 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
tried adding a new browser source and now it crashes upon start. I already updated my nvidia graphics card. where is a good place for help?
what are common fixxes for dropping frams in obs?
thank you. how do i see my views and stuff?
Can you elaborate what you are referring to.
im on obs live, but no where does it say a viewer count or anything
In the activity feed in the settings in the burger menu at the top left, you can enable the viewer cound if you are on twitch.
okay, just went there, you are being alot of help here, i apologize, i was using streamlabs before and they are a touch different
thank you
is their an integrated chat or just this pop up window one? i ask because if then covers part of my game window
We have the chat in OBS.Live you can dock out and we have a chat widget for your overlay.
i figured it out! your amazing. never change. thank you
Hi all, so I'm pretty sure this has already been answered, but maybe someone can tell me again:
Is it possible to have a custom name for you bot on twitch? I followed all the instructions the ususal YT videos give you, like I have fully set up my stream with payment method, overlay etc, I have downloaded the SL Launchpad desktop app etc.
But the cutsom bot name option still does not appear on my Launchpad app. Does anybody know how to fix that?
@half storm Currently renaming the bot fully works with OBS.Live.
You can follow this video guide to set it up: https://discordapp.com/channels/141203863863558144/494513233416421386/561516184718278676
If you don't want to use OBS.Live and want to stick with Ground Control, please let us know your Twitch username.
just installed obslive, trying to connect my avermedia lgp lite, via the avermedia stream engine but i dont get it to work
Best to contact the OBS community or avermedia on this.

@steel blade
I did all that and I still don't have that option. Somebody help?
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
As I already said. I have all this. And I am not streaming ona Mac
Do you see the option to rename the bot in OBS.Live?
nevermind already got it was looking at the gamecapture source but it was in the videocapture source settings
Do you see the option to rename the bot in OBS.Live?
@odd kraken no i do not
Then you are not meeting all the criteria.
I mean.... I don't knwo what to tell you.... I do. At least i think so. I have all the desktop tool, i spent the last 3 days setting up my stream and overlays... I have a second twitch account for the bot ready, SL Bot is moderator on my stream....
https://discordapp.com/channels/141203863863558144/494513233416421386/561516184718278676
In the dropdown there is not the option to set a custom bot name?
I don't even have the dropdown menu where this is shown
This is in the burger menu in your activity feed in OBS.Live.
i only have the "twitch activity feed" in obs live. and in that dock there is no such thing as this drop down menu. I couldn't find any other acticity feed dock like the one in Launchpad
Select the burger menu in the activity feed > Stream Settings. There is the custom bot name field.
@odd kraken nevermind
I am a goddamn blind idiot
i am very sorry
i just found it
thank you for your patience and effort
Hey, I'm having trouble going live on OBS. I get this error here: "Starting the output failed. Please check the log for detials. Note: If you are using the NVENC or AMD encoders, make sure your video drivers are up to date." I last went live about 3 days ago, nothing changed apart from updating OBS.live to the latest version. Hopefully one of you could assist me
@left patio Have you made sure that your video drivers are up to date?
I checked the Asus website for my video card and there aren't any updates as of April
@left patio Please provide a log from your last stream. To do this, in OBS go to Help > Log Files > Upload Last Log File and paste the link to the log file here.
Hey guys! I just started using OBS.live to try monitor my alerts and whatnot, but I've been thinking about using restream.io and was wondering if there was some way to have different tabs with Twitch alerts, Mixer alerts, and Youtube alerts? I've already got the alertbox themselves set up, just not the alert logs if that makes sense?
There is no restream support with OBS.Live.
https://obsproject.com/logs/61U30kZ-pq9UznIt - here is my log file
Ahh I figured, thanks for the answer!
@left patio For the best OBS support, please join their Official Discord @ discord.gg/obsproject
Does anyone know why in OBS I can input sources into a scene but they dont show in the sources tab to right click and edit?
Try to switch the scenes. Are the sources shown then?
My earlier question was answered earlier, but I think I may not have asked it correctly, so sorry if it's the exact same question lol.
Is there any way to include multiple platforms in the Activity Feed? For instance one for twitch, mixer, and youtube? Or if not, simply adding ANOTHER activity feed for each other platform?
i need help keeps restetting due to drop frames, need to know if its internet or settings
obs live that is
@idle glacier No.
@dire storm 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.
Thanks @odd kraken
was that for me benno
yes, the link is an analysis of your log file with tips on how to improve.
hello, trying to finish up on my twitch channel and my last step is enabling song requests! it will allow me to put in request but the command won't work for any of my viewers
@distant light Have you enabled the "Viewer requests" option on the MR page? and also make sure that the command songrequest is enabled on the default commands page (one way to check this is press Ctrl + F and look for "song")
yea it is enabled, and it lets me freely request songs through the chat just not for anyone else in the stream
just tested it with a friend, and only mods can request apparently, I have the user level to everyone though
could you invite me as a editor to give it a closer look?
@distant light 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
@honest echo yea, would just have to walk me through on how to do that
Read the bot intructions ⤴️
My alerts didn't work tonight
Are the events in your activity feed?
@austere robin Please logout of StreamElements at https://streamelements.com/logout and then login again to your account (Twitch/Youtube/Facebook/Mixer)
Still not showed up
any way to switch which monitor the obs application shows up? I cant drag it to my second monitor nor can I minimize it
@austere robin If we do not get the data about the embers, they will not show up. After you relogged, you also restored the connection to mixer, so hopefully they will show up the next time.
I will try it again tomorrow

Is there any way to do multistreaming?
OBS.Live does not support multi streaming.
@quartz tiger You'll need to install obs.live, and you will see the "Activity Feed" dock
yeah see it
when people follow or something , theres no overlay or anything. how do i add that
cant seem to find the widgets
the widgets its called "Alertbox", you'll need to add it in your overlay and then you overlay in your OBS
@quartz tiger 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
theres no option for that in scenes...do you mena sources?
mean
ill just watch the video
👍
in the video, when he gets to the "add" part in scenes he has a drop down menu. i do not.
@quartz tiger You don't see this menu?
there it is, i right clicked in scenes! what a silly move on my part
i got it! awesome thank you
Hello, I'm looking for a little help. Since the most recent update I cannot get my overlay to appear on obs. I've tried deleting the the browser source and and creating a new one several times. The alerts I set up still work when I hit the test buttons just not the visual overlays. If you have any advice on how I can fix this I'd greatly appreciate it.

@rain ruin you need to add the Media Request widget on your overlay
@rain ruin you need to add the Media Request widget on your overlay
@honest echo i never really understood how to use the overlay editor so i have an overlay for the media request widget only. ive already copied the url and pasted it on the browser source thing on obs but it keeps telling me that
it was working a few hours ago, idk what happened
im sorry if something i say isnt clear but english is not my native language
when I play a video on the media request dashboard it does play on the overlay editor but when I try to play on obs live it just tells me that there isnt any widget even though ive already added it
can you share a screenshot of your OBS, please
sure thing
When I click show on stream it will tell me that there isnt any widget for media request
ok, you have to see the overlay as a canvas
you can add to your overlay as many widget as you like
yeah i know, but i dont really get how to use it properly
both the chat box and the alert box that appear in the screenshot ive added through the streamlabs thing, not streamelements
i dont really know how to work with it

@wintry lion The default resolution for StreamElements overlays (theme and custom) is 1920x1080. Please add them in OBS at their full resolution and use CTRL+F to fit to screen if necessary. You can then downscale your stream in OBS settings > Video if you'd like https://i.imgur.com/6bWXxjR.png

Can this be compatible with macOS?
OBS.Live is not supported on Mac
Yes i know i'm doing all the thing by the web overlays
but i have a question does overlays support songs?
from !sr command
The overlays should work fine on OBS on a Mac, although there might be some issues, which I believe we can't fix and are exclusively related to OBS being on Mac.
it will be supported some day?
OBS.Live is not supported on Mac

Is there any recommend stream settings, so that my stream isn't pixelated and stable? I have a 5mb upload and 5mb download internet speed. I'm really new at this so any help will be good help
@hidden cape 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.

hey all. I created an overlay and added media share. Added a browser source for it onto one of my scenes, yet when i play via obs live, nothing shows.
I've managed to set everything else up
not sure why this isn't 🙂
Have you hit the SHOW ON STREAM button in the media request controls?
yeah
Do you see the video in the preview in the media reuqest widget in the overlay then?
When i hit show on stream it doesn't show in the obs live widget and doesn't come up on stream. I've also launched the overlay in my browser and nothing there.
it's probably something obvious
Is it showing in the overlay editor when you set it to show on stream and make sure the video is not set to be hidden?
nope
Delete the media request widget in the overlay editor and readd it and save the overlay please. Then try again.
Got it lol
i just had the streamelements example one on, that doesn't show it seems
when i add another it works
just need to get my stream deck to sign in now 🙂
Hey guys, I want to use the media request function in pbs live, but as soon as I click the button "SHOW ON STREAM" the sound starts looping. How can I avoid this?
@tacit spoke 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
This may be a dumb question, but i noticed the stream info panel has disappeared and I can't find a way to add it back now? is it just me?
@wheat bane 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
Thanks!

This is how my gameplay looks on stream and obs preview, but I'm seeing it in 60fps. OBS priority - above the average, stream in 720p60fps. Here is my settings:
@edgy quail Please provide a log from your last stream. To do this, in OBS go to Help > Log Files > Upload Last Log File and paste the link to the log file here.

@half musk Asking internally on your issue.

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

Where is the option to have your twitch chatbox in the obslive screen? I accidentally removed it.
StreamElements > Chat
@frank sedge You can copy widgets from one to another overlay using the dot with the white papers in the layers tab in the overlay editor.
Well I mean the chat was actually attached to my OBS screen on the right side of it. To the right of my preview screen
lol... ok let me look ... thank you
@trail current In OBS.Live at the top: StreamElements > Chat
Ahh, thanks !
OH!!! you mean that bright red dot staring me in the face...lmao ..... THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH!!!!!

@honest echo perfect, that's working now, thanks
#found it
@torpid bone use .webm
@rugged quail I was using webm but it wasn't working. I solved it by rendering to avi (png codec) in Natron then using ffmpeg to convert to webm.
So after 3 days talking to Mixer support about streaming issues I am having wit this plugin and it constantly changing the stream settings that I have setup for the profile.
Mixer DO NOT support anyone using this plugin, that is their words and not mine after they have stated that using this plugin defaults to using RTMP (High Latency) and they advise against this. So, why does this plugin keep changing my profile settings?
@thick ridge If your Mixer stream has "Low Latency" greyed out in the player while using OBS.Live, do the following:
- Stop your stream
- Go to your stream settings in OBS and return them to your previous settings, where your service is listed as "Mixer.com - FTL"
- In "live video settings" for OBS.Live on the left-hand side (in the chat window) change the setting on top of the window to "Go Live with Mixer Broadcast Dashboard settings" and press "Go Live!" from there
^^^ Not an option, because then I can no longer change the games title!
Seriously, I use this plugins I didn't have to go the website, by telling me to go there, you are saying this plugin is useless!
The plugin is for controlling StreamElements.
Then why have an option to change the stream title, only on an older technology!
can some one link me a video oh how to add these overlay packs to obs.live from the website? When i do the browser souce it never fits the screen properly
@bronze summit 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
Are twitch servers just over overflowing?
Alright fam. Almost ready to start streaming. Been months of setting up. I’ve run a number of test streams, watched a number of videos on getting the best stream quality, etc. when I watch the replay on my test stream account, my webcam (brio) gets all pixelated. The gameplay isn’t very smooth. I’ve tried a number of different options. Kind of at a loss. What are the best settings? My best attempt was (single Pc setup):
-mixer
-1920x1080 base
-1920x1080 output
-60fps
-lanzcos
-Nvenc 264 new
-CBR
-6000kbps
-2 key frame
-max quality preset
-high profile
-look ahead and psycho visual off
-gpu 0
-2 max B frames.
-Above normal process priority
-stream elements ran as administrator.
I run a single pc 2080 super, Intel i9, 32gb 3200 ram. Should be crushing it! System is cool and at less than 50% work. I get 140 FPS in game but it just does not translate at all on stream. I am using a 1440p monitor at 144hz. I tried base canvas 1440p and output 720p, 720p and 720p, and 1440p to 1080. Those all were horrible! Sorry for the length, but any suggestions? Also tried bitrate of 4500 and it was a little worse as well.
@wispy escarp 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.

Every time i bring up OBS now I keep getting asked to do this update. I've done it about five times now. I'm not sure how to go about uninstalling it so I can start from scratch or if there's some other alternative.
@restive needle You try to open OBS with admin rights?
Yes
Could you provide the version of OBS Studio and Obs.live that you have?
OBS 25.0.4 I believe and not sure how to find out the version of OBS.live
I thought I uninstalled it and restarted my computer, but when I brought OBS back up the program is still asking me to update.
I need a bigger screenshot than that to know where you're talking about.
Very bottom right.
That's not even showing up for me then
Like I said, I uninstalled it and it's still asking me to update OBS.live even though it is no longer on my PC
But that wasn't showing before either. None of the OBS.live stuff was, which I thought was just because I needed to update but now I think it's a larger issues
That way you can see what all I'm looking at between OBS and my add/remove programs
Try this:
1) exit OBS (make sure OBS is not running)
2) delete %appdata%\obs-studio\plugin_config\obs-browser\obs_profile_cookies
3) start OBS (make sure its with admin rights)
Sorry for being such a noob but how do I do step 2?
By going to that folder and deleting it.
Gotcha
Same thing happened with that folder deleted
I even tried deleting the entire obs_streamelements folder. It just comes back when I load up OBS and get asked to do the update.
Uninstall and reinstall OBS Studio.
Viewer count changed on activity feed? Not showing up for me and was last night
Yay! It's not asking for the update now. Think I'm clear to go ahead and redownload OBS.live now?
Yes 🙂
Looking good again! Thank you so much @honest echo and @tulip hamlet
Hi, everyone, I need help to set up top tips. It doesn't work for me. And It's urgent. Charity event is coming 😮
Hello I accidentally imported my tips and stuff from streamlabs obs 2 times, is there any way to reset the amount of tips that I have in stream elements because not it is displaying the wrong amounts on my stream
@vague ledge Try "StreamElements" > "Log Out" and Log back in
anyone?
Hello all! I couldn't find this exact issue when I've searched online and in the feed but, I have an issue to where my Activity Feed box is in light mode, but the Chat and Media Request box is dark mode. How can I change that?
@leaden kettle Screenshot please?
@grand tulip Duplicate tips need to be manually deleted in your revenue history.
I did that but it doesnt update it still sayss i have like 174$ donated when I onkly have like 80 something
Hey Hey, I am trying to connect my bot account to OBS.Live using the ground control in obs. But it will not connect, It gives me e-mails that I have logged in but It will not use the custom bot name.
@vast current Please follow the video in the pinned messages. Also, OBS.Live and Ground Control should not be used at the same time.
I have followed that video completely. It does not show that the account gets connected. Have tried 4 times.
Screenshot your custom bot name settings please.
I am assuming this is the settings you are asking for?
Yes. And what happens when you use that Connect button and connect the Twitch account you made for your bot?
I click authorize and then nothing.
@vast current try this :
1) Right click on your OBS desktop shortcut -> properties - in the "Target" field add this -> --remote-debugging-port=40404
2) Open OBS(or restart if it was open)
3) Open your browser and type in "localhost:40404"
4) Click on "StreamElements - Activity feed"
5) navigate to the Console tab
6) type in the console this: store.customBot.removeCustomBotIntegration() and hit enter
7) Try setting the custom bot name
8) remove the added addition of step 1
Will not allow me to add that into target field.
Should be just like this.
So is like anyone going to help me with my problem or...
@grand tulip It is a known issue with no immediate fix.
There's nothing to be done right now.
Not extacly sure where to find "Console Tab"
I had to move that portion over.
click "console" and type store.customBot.removeCustomBotIntegration() and hit enter
Thank you
How would I add a stinger transition from a premade nerd or die pack?
You add it in OBS directly. Transitions can't be done cloud-based.
I'm fairly certain Nerd or Die likely provided you with instructions on how to use it.
Alright, I'll re look over it. Thanks for the help.
Okay so how do I change the name of my bot?
So where in that video do I go?
Last night up until 6am my stream ran smoothly through obs. tonight however, none of my overlays, widgets, etc. from SE are showing up in obs. i have refreshed cache, logged out and back in, shut down my computer and even downloaded obsLive and tried there. same issue. ANY HELP IS GREATLY APPRECIATED!!!
Nevermind
Anybody? this is driving me nuts
so I somehow ruined my audio settings a lot
I can only hear myself, but no other audio.
I ended up switching up all my settings in Windows Sound settings, Virtual Cable, and in OBS live, what can I do now?
