when you try and emulate an alert via the editor the 'error' pops up in the lower right corner
Can anyone tell me why after this last update when I run SE it doesnt capture my capture card when opening and I have to redo every single Video Capture screen? This happens even when I run it in Admin Mode as well.
@harsh aurora For the best OBS support, please join their Official Discord @ discord.gg/obsproject
Im trying to unistall the obs plugin for a full reinstall, and it keeps saying it is aborted
can anyone help?
Did you uninstall obs studio first?
yeah
reinstall obs and then uninstall obs.live or it will cause a hang up
ok
How do i make it dark mode chat?
Check pinned messages.
??
Watch the video.
i dont have betterTTV settings
@potent nimbus Streamelements on top of OBS -> Logout -> login
ok, i just had to close the chat box and reopen
hello i wanted to use an overlay from streamelements. before i use it for obs i wanted to edit it. I cannot see my recent donations,. followers etc. how can i change that? i restarted the session but i think it deleted everything. is there another way to show my subs etc in the overlay and will they automaticly update?
@open shore Welcome to the helpdesk! Please let us know how we can assist you today and a support volunteer or staff member will assist you as soon as they are available. Thank you for your patience.
will not let me transmit this error I have to do
NVENC Error: init encoder: nvEncGetEncodePresetConfig failed: 15 (NV ENC ERR_INVALID_VERSION)
Try to update you graphics driver.
This might be more related with OBS than Streamelements, but I didn't find a solution, so trying here.
Ever since I added a second monitor to me setup de the sound reproduced on twitch form the desktop sources sound a little "metallic". Mic is fine.
Di anyone experience something like this or know how to fix it?
Thanks!
hello there!
I know it may seem like a dumb and very obvious question... but I'm having a very hard time trying to find a solution or any posts related to the topic of "how to insert spaces in a long scrolling text in elements?"
anyone who can shed some light 😅
to make it more clear, I have a long text of several lines, with blank lines in between each line. When add the text widget as a static text, it displays as it should. But I want the the text to scroll up, and then... all of the sudden, all the texts show up altogether without any blank lines
is there a way to prevent that? or to force having blank spaces between lines?
My OBS crashes when I launch it or it doesn't show my overlays in the browser source. If I launch it as an admin, it still won't show the overlays. I've reinstalled it 3 times.
@ashen hull OBS -> settings -> advanced -> scroll down -> enable/disable hardware accel.

@honest sapphire What widget are you referring to?
Also do you have a screenshot of the message and the actual widget in the overlay please.
I'm using the Static/Custom/Text widget
and this is a pic showing the problem I'm having
Wow. Quick and simple fix. Thank you.
on the left is the text, with blank lines between paragraphs, as it should be displayed... and on the center, inside the TV screen, how the text actually displays without any blank lines
@honest sapphire
Type <br> in in the message where you want to have the returns.
My bot died yesterday and I really need it to work again, I have a custom bot. Doeas anybody know a fix?
Is the custom bot not working?
yap
- Right click on your OBS desktop shortcut -> properties - in the "Target" field add this -> --remote-debugging-port=40404
- Open OBS(or restart if it was open)
- Open your browser and type in "localhost:40404"
- Click on "StreamElements - Activity feed"
- navigate to the Console tab
- type in the console this: store.customBot.removeCustomBotIntegration() and hit enter
- Try setting the custom bot name
where i put the link to my theme?
this is embarrassing but I can't even do step 1)
@shy mountain
I try to press"Apply" and get what is in the box is not valid
"C:\Program Files\obs-studio\bin\64bit\obs64.exe" --remote-debugging-port=40404
it needs to look like this
@languid sedge 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
Hi! I tried to use the bot name as my Twitch profile, but I don't found the place to activate it on the Ground Control.
@plain mason 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.

If you don't want to use OBS.Live and want to stick with Ground Control, please let us know your Twitch username.
yes, i tried to follow the instructions in the video and i didn't find what it was needed on Ground Control.
Read what the bot posted again.
@odd kraken i'm using obs.live, ground control, and on the ground control not have the options of the tutorial... did you see in my printscreens?
i don't know if is necessary to enable some option... and where.
Yes. If you don't want to use OBS.Live and want to stick with Ground Control, please let us know your Twitch username.
Also we do not recommend to use both programs at the same time.
So I recommend to set up the custom bot name in OBS.Live
Newbie question here.... i am setting up alerts on my screen, but on stream the alert is cut off..i watched videos, made sure the size is the same on stream elements dashboard and in obs..
set it as 1920x1080
use ctrl+r then ctrl+f while selecting the alert source if needed
@odd kraken now i saw that the video was edited using the Feed Activity area of OBS.live... before i hadn't seen it and thought it was on Ground Control.
@plain sonnet on elements dashboard the overlay is set for 1080p
not on dashboard, in obs
@azure barn the resolution (screen size) need to have same value on overlay editor and OBS (source > browser (overlay properties)).
when i open obs my media request widget isnt launching it just stays as a blank window by my preview. i just recently changed my backup playlist url. idk if that might be affecting anything. any fixes?
Hello, I have a problem with obslive. It recently started crashing, and I wanted to update it to OBS 25. I however get multiple error messages saying "Error opening file for writing" for multiple files like "obs-browser-page.exe" or "obs.streamelements.dll", and several more. I already deinstalled and reinstalled with the installer from the streamelements website, but the same thing happens.
Obs.Live just randomly stopped loading my overlays from StreamElements.com I've reloaded the overlays multiple times with no success. Everything is linked properly
@crystal wolf Right click on the BrowserSource > Properties > Scroll down a bit > Refresh Cache of current page
Thank you, but that did not work. I ended up having to resort to restarting OBS, which was going to be my last resort and that worked. Thanks again
Can PS4 camera be streamed through Streamelements if using Remote play? Or do you need separate camera?
I messed up some sizes somehow. anyone know how to reset all this?
View>Docks>ResetUI
That just resets the components
I'm trying to reset the sizes of the canvas
Everything is suddenly super large
This is what i should be seeing in that preview
@warm rock make sure OBS is closed when doing this.
It seemed to me like the updater closed OBS automatically
Make sure everything from it is closed. Most likely ghost processes.
Especially the mentioned filess.
Alright, I'll check
Ok, now it just straight up worked. Thank you! Have a nice day
You didn't happen to hit ignore when it popped up did you?
How do I change what the text says in a premade overlay? I click it and It allows me to move the placeholder text but not edit the text inside
after you click on it, click on the settings tab in the white bar on the left side
Ahhhh, thank you
Yo guys I’m trying to capture a web chrome browser window but it only captures a black box. Anyone know how to fix it please?
hello, I'm using the alerts that the site provides, I chose the new ones on valorant and they have the option of "Purchase alert", but when I go to do the test to see how it is working, nothing happens, just the voice reading but the animation does not appear.
What am I doing wrong, could someone help me?
An user is reporting problems with capturing video with OBS.live after it has been updated. He has OBS.live in the latest version (25.0.8 64bit).
He streams by capturing the PS4 video via external capture card FHD, however, only on the PS4 has it stopped working, because on another console it works normally.
And the user went to the OBS discord to see if they could help but said the following message: If you suspect that the plugin broke things, I recommend contacting StreamElements.
i cant import streamlabs into obslive
idk why
or into streamelements
Does tiltify donations not show up in the event list?
Hello, how to set up the new scene in OBS using link to overlay from Streamelements site?

pretty sure it has something to do with this error
but idk what this means
@thorn moat are you using the OBS.live lastest update? 😛

😉
thanks
you are welcome \o
The site is not working for me
@polar remnant Can you provide more details please?
When I click on something for example "Chat bot" it goes back to streamelements.com
Log out and log back in with the top right menu.
Working!
Hey how are y’all doin? Any body here can help me out with how obs work and how I can put my overlays into place
@midnight nova 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

Thank you for the help @shy mountain 
hello, i have a problem where i have created a browser source for my latest follow when i go into the online editor it says its working fine so i copy the url and put it into obs but there is nothing there
@brittle jay 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
Make sure you are following all the instructions, especially regarding the dimensions.
yes did realise that i deleted the css to see if it was that fixed as i didnt put the dimensions in i feel so dumb
ty for the help :0
hello.. im having problem with display capture.. i see only black screen? any help thanks in advance
@dreamy drum Laptop?
yees
@dreamy drum Due to the way laptops are designed, your system must be configured to run OBS on a specific GPU, depending on the type of capture you are trying to do.
For Game Capture and Window Capture (recommended), your system must be configured to run OBS on your laptop’s high performance GPU (default); for Display Capture, your system must be configured to run OBS on your laptop’s power saving GPU (iGPU).
If you are running Windows 10 1903 or newer, use this guide for instructions on how to configure your system: https://github.com/obsproject/obs-studio/wiki/Laptop-GPU-Selection-Windows-10
For instructions on configuring an older version of Windows (you should consider upgrading), use this guide: https://obsproject.com/wiki/Laptop-Troubleshooting
hello i need help getting my stream elements stream store into obs . how do i do so
When I try streaming on stream elements obs it keeps signing in my activity feed under my twitch account and it doesn’t switch to my mixer account activity feed. What do I do
@jade matrix Streamelements on top of OBS -> Logout -> login
I'm hoping someone might be able to help. How are we able to stream to someone's channel when given a stream key to stream to it?
I went to settings to input the stream key on OBSLive, however, it asks me to log into account. I go to do that and I go to Live Stream and it streams to my channel and not the channel I'm trying to stream to.
Thank you
Does OBS Live offer the ability to send a tweet when going live?
I dont know in what kind of chánnel this belongs. But i am currently having problems with my donation site. On the site there is the "YouTube-Thing" activated. But whatever i try i cannot deactivate it.
I don't know where the setting is.
@restive monolith Auto-tweet is handled on the site, not in OBS.Live itself.
@spare rivet Can you screenshot what you're talking about?
sure one second
@tulip hamlet Ah, thank you - Just noticed the "social media" section
@spare rivet This is media request. You need to set media request to "Free" requests only to have this removed. "Both" and "Paid" will result in this appearing on your tipping page.
Does OBSLive need to be running for custom bot name to stay enabled?
Yes.
Cool thanks, maybe more of a twitch question, but is there a way add the cog icon instead of the sword icon like Stearm elements?
The cog is because Twitch recognizes it as a bot.
That's what I assumed.
Monitor Only = Only I hear it right?
Monitor means Stream hears it too?
Chat Alerts, when set to Monitor Only (Mute Output) is still playing to Desktop Audio. Any ideas?
https://i.imgur.com/6GhZY6U.png
@native shard We cannot assist with audio mixer setups.
Okay, thanks I'll head over to the OBS Discord.
where do i choose what harddrive i want my recordings to go?

Theme webcams don't display my c922. How do I fix this?

The overlay is just an overlay. It doesn't automatically stick a webcam into the box. That's your job, with a video capture device source.
No I'm using streamlabs
Well, we're not Streamlabs, so we can't help you with their system.
Okay back up...the default "webcam" border needs my source cam added to it?
So I add my cam, adjust the size and place it inside the webcam spot?
i
hey guys, tried to fix on my own but getting no where. My webcam randomly wont show in OBS live. It will in the camera app on my computer, and some others but wont in OBS. When i change the resolution around it shows, but only for some resolutions. If i went to change to 1080x720 for example, it wont show. help!!
You just answered my question, thank you

I am using stream elements obs live with an legato capture card and a ps4. I have the chat link cable hooked up and all the other cables hooked up correctly. When I open elgato software, the game sound comes through, but when I open obslive, the game sound doesn't come through unless I unplug my chat link cable from my controller, but then I cant talk to my friends or hear the game from my headset. it was working yesterday with the chat link cable plugged in so I was just wondering if there was a permanent solution
@gray cosmos If you are having issues with Streamdeck or Elgato capture cards, its best to ask in their Discord here: https://discord.gg/elgato
It is only not working when I am in stream elements
OBS.Live is a plugin for OBS Studio and doesn't affect the core behavior like audio.
If it's an issue regarding whether or not your chat link cable is in your controller, then that'll be an issue with the data being processed by Elgato's plugin in OBS.
okay thank you I will ask elgato discord
Is there a way to rename the chatbot? I tried to download groundcontrol but i don't have the option to use my own name.
@spare rivet You need to install obs.live and check the video in the pinned messages 😉
question if anyone is familiar with razer ripsaw and obs.live......
is there a way to automate the raffles?
Not at this time.
I hope this is the right place to ask this. With the Social media section if you have automatic tweeting it would seem if you forget to change your message it will tweet the same?
Yes, it always tweets exactly what you've put in there.
that is not very useful I think
it is a great feature but need work which I am sure is happening
I am not sure if it is possible but it would be nice to have it only do it once and you have to reenable it every time
or at least have that as an option
or to just tweet what your stream description is
I guess I could make these suggestions in the website suggestion area but wanted to check this is how it was working at the moment
for about the past week, whenever someone follows or hosts me or anything that I have set up to do sounds and image alerts, the alerts aren't going off... I have reloaded the overlays, made sure they are all showing in source list, it only works when I test, idk why
I feel that the media request volume is too loud, even i only change the volume to 1
@dapper panther There should be a volume slider in OBS.Live's MR dock or in the video directly
Having trouble with SE store sounds. Was told I need an overlay, then was told I needed a widget. I can't seem to find an option for either nor a place to find the info. 👍 😫
https://streamelements.com/dashboard/overlays -> create blank overlay -> + button -> search on top of the pop up menu -> redemption -> add highlighted widget
@shy mountain yeah i already turn the volume slider in MR dock to 1
But the volume still very loud
@shy mountain Why do my song requests say they're not available in my country but, I'm in the US?
@digital crane Streamelements on top of OBS -> Logout -> login
If i turn down windows volume, it will lower down my entire OBS volume in stream@shy mountain
Worked @shy mountain
Is it loud for you or the stream @dapper panther
Both
Then lower the windows sound or specifically the OBS sound in the sound mixer
And what I mean is, that OBS is producing the sound from the MR dock. Meaning that adjust the volume in the windows mixer - if it lowers the MR volume thats good, then readjust every other volume level as well
Any one know of a file converter that can be used to convert MP4 to webm? The background loop that I bought is at 43 MB...
Convertio - Easy tool to convert files online. More than 309 different document, image, spreadsheet, ebook, archive, presentation, audio and video formats supported.
TY!
so how can i get my overlays to work they wont show in stream

How can I add streamlabs donations into activity feed?
In our activity feed? you can't
we don't have an integration with SL
and no plans on doing it
sad 😦
im also recording with no game capture so how would i be able to do that

I'm getting an update from the devs that likes/reactions are currently disabled, due to a change from Facebook @next nimbus @gilded terrace - no ETA on when they will return.
My overlays would not load?
@cursive jay OBS -> settings -> advanced -> scroll down -> enable/disable hardware accel.
https://i.imgur.com/ggMe9ZE.png
Its on
@cursive jay just about to ask about that. i'm guessing if it's happening to us it might be something on SE's end
What?
my overlay's aren't loading either
It says enable OR disable the option
yeah, i've just had a look at my overlays on the streamelements site and they are blank when i open them to edit.
thats a different type of report
but considering everyone is coming to this channel, I'm assuming you are all initially referring to OBS not loading the overlays
its not loading on the website editor either
yeah it's not loading on either
^^
@shy mountain this is on the website
thats the same as im getting
@thin drum Also got that. And my overlays in OBS to
but all the video files are there for me when i go into each item
Yea i can see that
so my guess is something is down or not working correctly on SE's end
poking devs right away
Glad I'm not the only one
@shy mountain Thank you! You are a hero!
Uh-oh...
Overlay does not exist
thank you
I was just working on my overlays and the page refreshed automatically and when it reloaded every overlay was gone. Just an empty slate
@white obsidian yeah people were already talking about it when i was gonna ask lolol
thanks @shy mountain
read the guy in pink comment
looks pink wait it is xD
@strong onyx wait it out. nothing we can do if it's SE's problem
@slim dock Okay thanks!
It's just an internal error on their end. Nothing we can do to fix the issue. just wanted to come in here and make sure it wasn't just me having the issue.
same @white obsidian lol
they're back! thanks @shy mountain for the quick response, thank the devs for me too
Refresh any open overlay editor and/or loaded overlay in OBS
it is back!
They are back up and running.
thanks @shy mountain ❤️
Thank You Dev's for the quick fix
Legends
This right here is why Stream Elements is the better choice!!
SE and OBS >> streamlabs
TRUE

Custom bot name ?? I can't able to find that option where it is?
@rugged quail 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

Custom bot name only works for twitter?
@rugged quail no - only twitch
@shy mountain ahh i wrongly typed twitter instead of twitch😅
how do i install plugins on OBS live?
OBS.Live is a plugin for OBS Studio
i'm lost
OBS.Live is a plugin for OBS Studio - meaning that any plugin that works for OBS Studio should work fine iwth our plugin
You will have to ask the obs guys here: discord.gg/obsproject
Guys, I have a problem. Why my overlay doesnt fit with my OBS?
@tawdry widget 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
no success on finding any help
but could you tell me why if I go live as soon as I arrive at 2 minutes the live stops
plss help me
Internet issue most likely. @molten mountain
@queen cedar Trust me, you will get better help on how to install plugins there
but my ping is low
@molten mountain Dropped Frames usually means that you have a bad connection with the streaming service(Twitch/Youtube/Mixer/Facebook) and most likely something related to your ISP not handling the connection properly.
Speed tests usually cannot help solve this problem and its best to use this guide: https://obsproject.com/wiki/Dropped-Frames-and-General-Connection-Issues
Speed tests usually cannot help solve this problem
ok i resolve
then contact the creator(s) of the plugin 
i can, but i doubt he would ever reply
do i simply throw the stuff in this folder?
sorry for the spam btw
so
i dont have the standard OBS installed, i got OBS live only
if i perhaps install a plugin in OBS live Plugins folder, should it work normaly?
the plugin folder usually matches the output for the obs folder
just drag-drop.
if not, a github should have info
@queen cedar and by the looks of it, yes. Drop it in there
i just figured out the issue
since i was trying to use the Deckboard app, and i had to install a Websocket
the App is only compatible with standard OBS and not obslive
is there a way for me to still use the OBS live layout plugins when launching standard OBS?
Obs.live is Just a plugin.. it doesn't Inherently Change anything to obs..
for streamelements is it just obs or streamlabs too
SE = obs studio
SL = SLOBS.
ok thank you
ok
hey sorry if im in the wrong section but i cant link my se bot to my fb page, there is no option or i think im just using se wrong. is SE bot compatible in fb live?
is there like a way for me to add an chat inside my OBS studio then?
just like obs live?
obs.live is obs studio
settings > stream
connect your account
will i get those chat layouts in OBS studio just like obs live?
cool
its taking a while to log in tho
Hey there! I've been having a bunch of problems with OBS taking up way too much CPU Power recently, any idea on how to fix it?
I let the Configuration Wizard run and had a few tech friends look over it, but nothing really worked so far
I also had to remove a Browser Source of a little animation bc it was taking up 30% of my CPU, and I don't have an old computer
Animations, FPS, resolution x amount of sources
and " i dont have an old computer " says nothing..
I'm...sorry? I wasn't trying to come over rudely. I don't really have a lot of sources, and my Task Manager is telling me the ones I have aren't very CPU-Intensive, just that OBS itself was taking up a lot of it. I didn't have a lot of problems before, and I can't remember changing any of the settings, so I thought I'd just ask what else I could to to reduce framedrops.
easy test
new scene: load nothing
low cpu?
good
add sources
see when it "goes higher than usual"
Guess I'll just try that out again then. I've been wanting to put in a particular browser source, but any time I do that, it takes up half of my CPU. I don't have it in right now bc of that, but I wanted to ask whether it's a bug or if there's any way to convert it to fix it?
I hope I can post that in here, but I've really been trying to convert it between different kinds of videos and stuff to get it to run better cause I really like it, but nothing has worked so far.
It's just a transparent webm video with pulsating lights, and I really don't know why it would take up that much CPU Power
It's really just that one source
is there a way i can make the Spectralizer only to recognise my Music, like spotify or something?
Hello! II got a question. It may not be possible, nut is it possible to install OBS.Live on the Linux version of OBS Studio? THe installer is an exe file, which is not useful. I have the source code, is there any specific files from there I can just pot on their place, or does it work differently? Thank you!
OBS.Live plugin is Windows only.
Hi! I wasn't sure if I should put this here but I was wondering if SE had a multi stream option and I was just overlooking it?
StreamElements does not support multi streaming.
Dang. Alright thanks Benno
good day guys, im busy setting up my obs, i added my display source, i see alot of screens in the same screen, how do i disable that? thanks
It's normal. You record your screen, which records your screen, which records your screen, which records your screen. Stop watching your own preview and it will go away.
ok cool thank you

Hey, I dont know where this goes in the server but I have been using SE Pay for a long while now, since about January, and now its saying that my bank details are invalid and that withdraw isnt possible. I have almost $500 I was planning on withdrawing today. D:
Please contact us via email for support with SE.Pay. You can use our contact form here: https://streamelements.com/contact Thank you
you need to send an email through that form since we can't discuss SEpay matters in Discord due to the nature of the sensitive information involved 😉
Of course! 🙂 Im typing it up now. Thank you!
I can't seem to get the option for a custom bot name to show up in ground control. I've made sure to have a tip link and everything setup, but it won't show up not matter how many times I restart it.
what is your twitch name? (no links)
gaminghike
i've send it to staff, to activate the option for you in ground control
can take a while
alright, thanks! any eta at all? it's no rush, but rather have some idea on when it's worth to try again ^^
How do I remove my youtube channel from obs.live? I have both my twitch and youtube connected, but want to stream to twitch
hello can some one help me plz

@dusky mirage Welcome to the helpdesk! Please let us know how we can assist you today and a support volunteer or staff member will assist you as soon as they are available. Thank you for your patience.
thannk you!
i need help whit how do i insert the new scanes themes ?
@dusky mirage 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
yoo thx mutch love @steel blade
@wary dew Just out of curiosity, do you know how long it usually takes support to get back to people?
depends on the amount of tickets they get at the same time and the amount of meetings planned that day
but usually pretty fast
Right on! Thank you! Im just a worrisome type. 😛
Hey! I have a question. I'm having a LOT of issues with freezing and crashing on SLOBS, and all my scenes are there. I think I have to switch to OBS or LIve, but the thing I'm afraid of most is not being able to import my scenes. Am I able to do that?
best streaming settings for advanced 720p?
Whatever the case may be, I need to switch now, no question
Hi
i got some problems with the custum alert editing on the website
or in the program
I keep getting an error message when i launch and it won't let me stream
The error message says "Failed to authenticate with Twitch: Failed to get token from remote:"
Please someone help i just want to stream
I have solved the problem
Ok well, it says I can import scenes from Streamlabs but it's stuck on importing alerts. Idk why
Its been on 33% for 5 minutes and hasnt moved
@silver tundra The import will fail if you attempt to upload Streamlabs-owned assets or assets that are too large.
But I only have the alerts as a browser source. And before I imported I unchecked import alerts
yet it's doing it anyway?
@tulip hamlet So its at 100% after I deleted some scenes and such but it's still hung up?
OBS.live have launch parameters so i can launch it in base OBS Studio mode?
Like these ones? https://obsproject.com/wiki/Launch-Parameters
OBS Studio supports the following launch parameters for automation and portable use Parameter Description --help, -h Get list of available parameters.* --version, -v Get…
No. OBS.Live overwrites the browser source and gets always launched.
I'm using OBS Studio for recordings and need to switch it everytime, it's a bit annoying.
OBS.Live is just a plugin for OBS Studio, not a separate version like SLOBS
Maybe there is launch parameter to launch it with plugins disabled?
Also no. Especially because OBS.Live overwrites the browser source. It doesn't add files. It replaces them. That means if you'd want to disable OBS.Live, you'd loose your browser source.
I see, whatever then. Thanks for explanation.
my overlays never work no matter what i do
@upper heart We'll need more detail than that to assist.
when i put in the url nothing shows up for my overlays
@upper heart Screenshot your browser source properties please.
Upgrading from a 1070 to 2080 Super, would that help the NVENC encoding?
@native shard of course, and btw everyupgrade helps 😉
I mean, how much could it help? I'm just trying to justify a GPU upgrade lol
The Turing cards have an upgraded NVENC chip that has on par quality to x264 medium. So quality wise, even a GTX 1650 Super gives you better quality compared to GTX 10xx GPUs
i cant get media request to work

Interesting to know. I wonder if it could help with my CPU issues in OBS.Live. When streaming OBS.Live uses roughly 20% CPU while using NVENC Encoding
High CPU usage is mostly caused by media sources, animated overlays and too many browser docks. NVENC (depending on your CPU of course) shouldn't cause more than 5% CPU usage.
Btw does anyone know how to get the Awesome shoutouts widget to display the proper twitch.tv/link for any streamer instead of "vips"?
I have quite a few browser sources, I may need to consolidate them down. I only added one extra dock for Point redemptions.
I may need to see what I can do to lower the amount of sources.
Hello people, it's been months without getting my custom bot to work. Any updates on issues related to that?
Hello, I would like to know to stream a game like Assasins creed Odissey, I encode on the GPU (RTX 2060) or I encode on the CPU (1700X), I think the best is to encode on the CPU to leave all power at play? I am right ?

@pale zealot it depends. CPU encode will give you best quality compared to Nvenc.
@novel swift check pinned message, now its on the activity feed dock on obs.live 😉
@novel swift check pinned message, now its on the activity feed dock on obs.live 😉
@honest echo I've seen and done that, but it does not work and I don't know why. 😦
@novel swift 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
@novel swift Thank you ,so it is better to encode on the CPU
i cant get media request to work
@spare vigil any error?
@novel swift Thank you ,so it is better to encode on the CPU
@pale zealot yes, you could set the encoder to CPU medium or fast (the faster you set, the quality gets worst). And you need to check the impact your pc will suffer. Sometimes, even setting the fastest quality option, your CPU can have a hard time to handle it, then would be interesting to use your RTX with new nvenc.
when i enable it to show on stream no audio plays
even before i do that no audio plays
hi, i dont have the smilie for the bttv emotes in obs. how can i get thies?
@fresh robin
amazing support thnak you
How do I add Media request to my obslive
and how can i add thies bttv emotes to the chat overlay on streamelements website? it works now for chat but not seen on livestreaming
@glad sonnet
@fresh robin if you see the bttv on the overlay web editor, you have to see it onyour obs
yeah but i have a chatbox in one of my overlays. there are online the "words of the emote" not the animated emote
@fresh robin Type !emotes update in your chat and then clear your browser source cache.
Assuming you haven't disabled that command.
thanks 🙂 thats cool
How do I reset my chat back to my channel chat after a raid? I can't seem to get it to change.
@proper sandal Streamelements on top of OBS -> Logout -> login
There isn't an easy "Reset Chat" button at all, you have to fully log out and back in for the reset to happen?
This may need to be included in the Ideas section then if that is the case.
Thank you for the help.
@proper sandal Check out the StreamElements ideas board: https://strms.net/ideas. You'll be able to add ideas, upvote ideas you agree with, and track their progress with email notifications. Adding and upvoting ideas also helps the staff know which ideas should be prioritized so please take some time to upvote.
OBS.Live is a plugin for OBS Studio.
In general, using our cloud-based overlay system rather than locally referencing files will result in a bit less usage, but it ultimately depends on your setup. At most it'll be comparable to OBS Studio on its own.
thanks
@novel swift i guess i need to increase the bitrate
Hello there! My version of Ground Control is 1.7.2 and there is no option to change the bot name in my Twitch chat. Any idea what the problem might be?
Yes, but... I just installed the program a few minutes ago and even following your tip, the options still don't appear

5d0a4a51aa6e59a386fa6cb7
quick question, is there a way to duplicate a source in a scene and edit the duplicate without affecting the first?
@sleek ermine Restart it again.
Ok, sec please
@fickle violet Editing a duplicate shouldn't affect the original. The only time editing one source affects another is if you created the source with the "Use existing" option rather than making a new source.
Done! Thank you so much ❤️
i cant get media request to work
when i enable it to show on stream no audio plays
even before i do that there is no audio
@spare vigil Did you add a media request widget to your overlay?
yeah
my activity feed doesn't work. 😢
@hollow wedge Streamelements on top of OBS -> Logout -> login
I've tried, but it didn't work
Define "doesn't work" or provide a screenshot.
the "activity feed" does not show new "likes" "shares"
@hollow wedge If you are not seeing Likes/Shares on your current stream or page, that might be due to how the privacy settings of the person liking/sharing your stream are set.
If they are set to private we won't be able to see the events.
Specifically for shares, if they share in private groups, we won't be able to see the event.
That said, Facebook's API kinda broke so we're working with them to get it fixed.
how do you import streamelements overlays in obs ?
@tropic nimbus 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

Do you guys have any way to add a like death counter to OBS? Or will I be looking for an external Widget?
There is a bot counter widget which can be connected to the ${count} variable for the bot
example of how to use the ${count} variable is pinned in #helpdesk-twitch
Where do I find the widget?
Sweet! Also, is there a way to have the Chat Bot automatically choose the custom name, before every stream I have to change it's name.
- Right click on your OBS desktop shortcut -> properties - in the "Target" field add this -> --remote-debugging-port=40404
- Open OBS(or restart if it was open)
- Open your browser and type in "localhost:40404"
- Click on "StreamElements - Activity feed"
- navigate to the Console tab
- type in the console this: store.customBot.removeCustomBotIntegration() and hit enter
- Try setting the custom bot name
Hi. I am having an issue with my overlays not showing up properly. I have alerts set up in the "my overlays" section. When someone follows, cheers, etc, the sound plays and it pops up in chat, but there is no visual on stream or in obs. I went into the editor and played with settings. I get sound, but still no visual. Any recommendations?
@prisma wedge 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
That was the trick. Thank you
Also on the credits, is there a way to turn off continuous scroll, and why does it appear twice, the second time way smaller than my settings?
Hi, I need help. All my overlays are not shwing up in OBS. It was working just fine yesterday. I have reinstalled both obs and obs.live sstill not working

I have cleared my cache for the past 1 month. only access SE the past week
My overlays are appearing again. I don't know what happened but it loaded. Thanks anyway!
Hi, why this "Start Streaming to Youtube" pop up always appearing? when I clicked on Start Streaming and it shows blank page, and I can't start streaming cause of this. Previously there's no issue

Good Morning, I have a duel PC setup with NDI and a GoXLR. My issue is my alerts are not going to stream and I cant hear them. I have every thing separated in obs on my stream PC. I have ver 25.0.8 on both PCs, Any suggestions?
@scarlet raven ⤴️
Thank you @shy mountain
ok after reading the above I have all that done. and it is working. I have streamed with it. The only problem im running in to is my alerts arnt working
Do both Obs lives have to have the exact scenes and sources set up?
Not really - but both can have the alert widget loaded
so that you can hear the alert
ok that could be the issue. I only have that alert screen on stream pc
Why my Top stars show "no data" on FB?

@sand radish 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.
You were helping me with the botname. I went through what you told me to do, but I couldn't see how to do the last step.
which step?
hi please help me with this ?
What is the issue?
@rugged quail 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
- You are showing a screenshot of OBS and not telling what is the issue
- You are saying you have bug...what is the bug exactly? still not saying what the issue is
- you are showing a screenshot of the overlay editor with a test alert playing. Assuming you want to say taht you don't see your alerts, then the resolution thing needs to be adjust.
- What is not working?
- Right click on your OBS desktop shortcut -> properties - in the "Target" field add this -> --remote-debugging-port=40404
- Open OBS(or restart if it was open)
- Open your browser and type in "localhost:40404"
- Click on "StreamElements - Activity feed"
- navigate to the Console tab
- type in the console this: store.customBot.removeCustomBotIntegration() and hit enter
- Try setting the custom bot name
Step 7.
Go to the activity feed -> settings -> custom bot name -> set the custom bot name
Ahh. So after all the other steps, reset the name?
its reset via the command
you just need to set it up again via the login process for the custom name
Sorry re-set.
yes
Should work. Shall give a go.
No
I have set follow here but when I add it 🙂 it doesn't show me on the stream .. when I try to reflect it as follow it doesn't show it you don't know what it can be?
so for some reason my alert box isnt working correctly, it only shows alerts for new follows and shares, but likes dont pop up. Usually if i just log out then log back in it fix's it but for some reason it doesnt work still.
Anyone here to help?
I've been having Issues Connecting my Custom bot. It was fine until I changed my password for the bot account. I have since tried to log in through live multiple times but the bot wont connect. Am I missing a step?
@stuck mortar 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.
Yes And the bot name does not show up after I log in
With ground control?
No I am using OBS.Live
I can use my user name but not my custom bot account name
Those are the only options I get after I have logged into my bot account about 6 times. It is already a mod on my channel. and was working before I reset my password
It worked for me
@stuck mortar
try this:
- Right click on your OBS desktop shortcut -> properties - in the "Target" field add this -> --remote-debugging-port=40404
- Open OBS(or restart if it was open)
- Open your browser and type in "localhost:40404"
- Click on "StreamElements - Activity feed"
- navigate to the Console tab
- type in the console this: store.customBot.removeCustomBotIntegration() and hit enter
- Try setting the custom bot name
- remove the added addition of step 1
Ooo okay! i'll try that
I have 2 problems as well,
If I try alt tab onto my browser or something. OBS is always on top. Similarly my overlays won’t activate when I put them in obs
@odd kraken
Anything?
file > always on top
for overlays, make sure the resolution in the browser source is correct (1920x1080)
and if you have the SE plugin turn off hardware accel in settings > advanced
Lemme try
Ah brilliant
Tysm
Also tadpole
Any way I can use media request without hearing it myself. So only my stream can.
make a blank overlay in the SE editor, put the media request widget into the overlay only
add the overlay into obs, in the browser properties select "control audio via obs" option
go to edit > advanced audio
turn the monitoring for the overlay to "monitor off"
you can then control the audio via the mixer for the stream
But if I do that my stream can’t hear it right?
if you select monitor off then it will go only to the output (stream), so you wont hear it
Ok tysm
@odd kraken with step one I feel silly I cant get it to work. Does it go to the end of my launch or am I replacing it somewhere. LOL clearly my coffee hasnt kicked in lol
guys, how to see all the messages of a single person in your chat twitch(for example if i want see the message it was banned for)

Okay I think I read the rules completely, sorry in advice if I mess this up. @_@;;
I have recently bought a stream package from VisualsByImpulse and I have done the 'one-click setup' for twitch. I have already included the url into OBS Streamelements but I think what I am confused about is how to include my full package. I have watched a few videos and read as much as I could before turning to discord for help. Cue my lack of reading comprehension it seems.
Do I have to add everything from the package into overlay editor?
the one-click-setup for StreamElements adds everything to the overlay editor, or at least it should 😛
Maybe I'm missing something, one moment
from there, you can copy widgets from one overlay to another to mix and match to your liking
I am trying to get my tipping set up and I've done all the steps but it wont check the stuff off for me to select done.
How can i logout in mine ground control?
hello, I have a problem that when someone follows me the alert does not appear on the screen and the goal does not increase
What platform do you stream to? @worn tinsel
twitch
you added your alertbox overlay link to obs?

how to add !clip command please
@worn tinsel Streamelements on top of OBS -> Logout -> login

Hello! Alert box Widget not showing despite the fact on the web dashboard it does. I did logout from both and even reinstalled obs.live
@odd kraken THANK YOU!!! After a re install of live and that trick its now working. Thank you!
can i change the emotes used when winning a duel?
I'll ask someone for you @worn tinsel
how would i import the overlay
^^ i have the same question
import it from where?
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
need help my obs is saying its browser is out of date how do i update it
Could you check the version of your obs and obs.live?
Did you upgrade your chrome?
yah its up to date version im running is Version 81.0.4044.138 (Official Build) (64-bit)
Thats a weird error on OBS to show, could you share a whole screen of OBS?
should i send in in pm to you
sure
sent it
Hi, i have a problem with Media Request, why the audio is double?
@neat drum 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/6bWXxjR.png https://i.imgur.com/yY0wcFl.png
I still hear double media requests
@neat drum You are sure that you enable "Shutdown source when not visible” on every browser source?
Do yo have your media request open on your browser?
yes, and no. but i thing have fixed... i have check "direct audio to OBS"... is right?
I can’t open streamelements on my pc
i have a silly question...when i try to download obs ndi 4..9.0 from github i get an xml file instead of the exe installer...have others successfully installed it?
@proud lichen google chrome?
how do i stop media share from playing on multiple sources at the same time?
Enable the "Shutdown source when not visible” on every browser source
hi, so everytime i try to start broadcasting a notification pops up saying that it cannot access specified account or stream key when i have the account linked and i know the stream key is correct
@slender haven twitch?
mixer
@slender haven 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
now my game doesnt show up
How do I connect what’s happening on my Xbox to obs with overlays
@slender haven im not an xbox streamer, but probably you will need a capture card
Ok thank you I will try that
hi! Is there somebody that can help me on obs?
I am struggling with obs! I cannot hear my game audio when im using my headphones can anybody help me with that? thanks
Hey so I'm creating an overlay and previewing it from obs live as I go of course. The scrolling text is not working though. Any reason why?
@rotund swift You hear your game when your obs is close?
@sick hedge Right click on the BrowserSource > Properties > Scroll down a bit > Refresh Cache of current page
Sweet. Will do.
yah i can hear my game its dota2 and i setup the audio for dota 2 as headphones
but theres no audio coming out in the obs @honest echo
@rotund swift Check your audio devices on Settings > Audio
@sick hedge You're welcome 🙂
Might have to change his game audio to Monitor & Output
ill give a screenshot here
so thats my settings i dont know if I messed up on the computers sound settings just tell me if you need more sources
check the dropdown list and check if you see the same name that you see on dota
yah i can see the same name
but it wont give sounds
in dota 2 if im using the main speakers that i have wc is the focusrite I can hear audio
but what I wanted is to listen the audio of my game in headphones. but when going live theres no audio coming out 😦
That's weird, so when OBS is close you can hear the game as soon as you open OBS you can't, right?
i can still here the game on my headset when obs is open. but the problem is when going live there is no audio coming out from twitch or fb
thats my sound settings
if that could hlep
help*
@rotund swift if you can see it select it and you will see another bar on your audio mixer on obs
see it where again?
on the screenshot that i made
maybe I cant really use my headphones when streaming. It wont work. maybe i'll use my speakers instead for audio
thanks for helping though @honest echo Appreciate it
@rotund swift did you see Settings > Audio on the OBS to check if your sound card is right?
@plain mason how do I check on that?
@plain mason
as you can see when im using the focusrite on my game as audio source it will also have sounds on obs. but I wish i could have use my headphones instead for listening the game
@rotund swift see your DM
dose anyone know how to change the alert widget for a specific amount of bits?
@rugged quail try to keep question in one channel 😉

There we go! Thanks @honest echo ❤️
...tho it still doesn't use the custom name/account that I want when I test the bot. Still only says StreamElements in chat.
Never mind, I'm an idiot and didn't actually activate the custom name 🙃

Is this only available for people that have a windows platform? I'm using a mac to stream
obs is available for mac, but not obs.live
Well after my first stream with OBS live I decided to stream and in the span of 4 hours, OBS Live crashed TWICE. I'm really angry :/
Cheers tadpole. Too bad.
why dont my overlays and alert show
is custom bot name support included in OBS.live or do you still need to be running Ground Control for that?
Whoops. looks like this wasn't discussed too long ago. Sorry. Still needs Ground Control, I guess.
So I was able to get the picture from my Xbox to show on the source but once I tried to get my overlays going it went to a black screen and I have not been able to get the picture back, anyone have ideas
I can see that the audio mixer is picking up my game audio but there’s not picture
@zenith ferry 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
@upper glacier you can have GC or OBS.Live - up to you honestly
@silver tundra A crash log is required to investigate the cause of your issue. Please upload the last crash log.
- In OBS, click the Help menu
- Select Crash Reports, and then Upload Last Crash Report
- Copy the URL, and paste it to the chat here.

If you are not able to follow the above steps, open your file explorer and go here:%appdata%\obs-studio\crashesand provide the last listed file.
@slender haven Can you elaborate a bit more? Are you using OBS?
Yes

I had the video showing for awhile in the program box but not the preview box then when I went to put overlays in the overlays showed up in program but no picture from Xbox, I have since removed everything and tried adding it back but now all I get is audio without picture
If the capture source is showing just a black screen
I would strongly suggest to ask the OBS guys
OBS.Live is a plugin for OBS Studio and does not touch the capture sources in any way
Oh the button I clicked for the overlays was the transition while in studio mode and when I clicked that is when everything turned black except overlays were still showing
If you are still seeing a black screen coming from the capture card software, but ONLY in OBS, then ask in the obs discord
This issue is not related to OBS.Live

@slender haven OBS.Live is a Plugin for OBS created by StreamElements. You can download OBS.Live here: https://streamelements.com/obslive
Please make sure you have the latest version of OBS installed, Current Version: 25.0.4. You can install OBS here: https://obsproject.com/
@shy mountain if I want to use a custom bot name, though? Can I do that only running OBS.live? I've only found that option in Ground Control.
Check pinned message here @upper glacier
there is a video specifically for the rename option in OBS.Live
Ahhh. Thanks! Should have looked at the pins. Sorry.
No worries
anyone willing to jump into a VC and help me with a couple things quick? nothing major just how to get my overlays to show up on stream and just overall double checking i have everything set up right
@midnight folio 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
Hi im trying to add the streamelements activity feed but its not popping up
and the media requests too
i feel dumb
lol
oh also
when ever i get a alert sound doesnt come through
but everything else does
so im kinda lost there
trying to start a test stream to make sure everything works right and getting the following error message
nevermind got it
@midnight folio Check settings -> advanced -> network if you've set your self to IPv6
if yes, change it
I dont see anything under that category that even mentions !Pv6
@midnight folio For the best OBS support, please join their Official Discord @ discord.gg/obsproject
IPv6 issue fixed, now can anyone walk me through getting audio and video into my overlays
Ive asked on the OBS discord and gotten no respose
can you elaborate?
In the overlays there are sections for viewers to be able to see me. I launched a test stream and my web cam is not filling in those boxes with video on any of the overlays
So your webcam video doesn't fit the webcam border from the overlay?
right click the video source -> properties - adjust the video settings to w/e aspect ratio the overlay border fits
Its not showing up on the overlay screens at all
Ill take a screen shot and post so you can see what i mean

box on the bottom left should have my web cam footage in it and its not showing up
Well did you add the webcam as a video source to obs?
yes
do you have another scene with the webcam added?
I have a video capture set up but if i try to individually add one for the overlays its doesnt show anything
Do you have the webcam added as a new video source in another scene?
How do i add it in another scene? I can add a second video capture if thats what you mean
Im in the chit chat voice channel if it would be easier to discuss this rather than try to type it all out
Ill get this all figured out another time. for now i have to get stuff done here before my stream so ill just run this one without overlays and get everything set up for the next one
Sorry that I had to step away for a moment
Record a video with ShareX and paste it here
and show me what you are doing
Im not available for voice support
ShareX? I have no idea what that is lol
basically this
records screenshots, on sreen video
and so on
or record with OBS what you are doing
Ill get that downloaded and reach out again when i can. for now though i have to go. didnt think it was going to be this difficult to get things set up so its taking more time than i currently have available
Could someone tell me how I can make the text always fit within the box so there's no cutting off if the name is too long? Dynamic font size seems to cut off
so I have two streamlabs and one of them is linked to my facebook while the other my twitch and you tube is ti possible to merge the two?
I can link the accounts for you, but I will need the JWT token from both accounts.
Do note:
- Merging accounts only allows faster ways to switch between them
- Merging accounts does not allow data sharing between accounts - different streaming platforms, different type of events
- Merging accounts allows duplicating overlays between the accounts
You can find your JWT token on your account channels page ("Show Secrets" to reveal the token): https://streamelements.com/dashboard/account/channels
@hollow lion Don't use the dynamic font option
as that is looking only for the length of the widget and not its height
you know how on the preset overlays it says twitch, facebook, youtube ect how do you link your handles to that?
@fervent crag Lower your output quality in the settings -> video
@torpid abyss You go into the overlay editor -> click on the text widget -> settings on the left -> edit the text.
I still want the option for higher quality tho
You need to be an affiliate and hope that the encoder servers have slots to enable quality options for your stream
Thats not up to us or you
thank you

Does song request work with spotify?
No.
hello everyone, is there a way to control obs scenes from a different computer that also supports midi?
does anyone know why i get a white screen with a blue help button bottom right when i try to open streamelements in my web browser?
hello, somebody please help me, i cant access my streamelements dashboard on browser (white screen only)
just to be clear, in OBS live, i make a scene, but a "Browser" source, and put the overlay link on it?
@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
it seems that it stopped showing my followers this month, because the last follower counted was on the 30th
@rugged quail name of the theme you using?
I need help to change donation currency....i am using payse.me to receive donations and my currency is INR but in streamelements no option to choose INR it always shows donations in usd
Hi I'm having issues with my obslive not being the same audio levels as my pc i've found silly workarounds but i'm looking for a more permanent solution is there any suggestions?
Help! I'm not getting any audio from my elgato onto my OBS on my streaming PC. I am doing everything I did before. selecting waveout
I'm willing to pay for a solution because this is keeping me from being able to stream
have you tried asking elgato? @thick karma
If you are having issues with Elgato hardware or software, we recommend reaching out to their support here: https://e.lga.to/help

hi im trying to use scene transitions when i move from one scene to another it shows my scene underneath before the transition hits
adjust the switching point
im getting like 10-20 second delays but is says on obs live that im onlt getting 1s delay????
yes, 0 means it will change right at the start
so that's why it shows before it launches 😉
@rose quiver what platform do you stream on?
mixer
@rose quiver 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
so put it higher you say ? @wary dew
yes
when i press the transition it shows the scene for like half a second then launches the stinger then shows the scene
hope that makes sense
yes it does, the moment of the switch should be invisible
so you need to play with the timing
does this have something to do with scenes loading when not on?
yes
should i have scenes to turn off when not being used?
most people do, since it uses less CPU
also camera ?
you only have one cam right?
should be fine
how do i turn scene off when not being used once its set up please
i cant find the option
yes thats when you load a new scene in what about when its all set up
already
how do i get to that screen?
Any clue on how to fix my crashes? Idk if I wanna stream before I know what to do to fix it
got it to work thankyou so much @wary dew
