Still would like a response to my crashing issue. Do I need to send the crash reports again?
@silver tundra 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+)
if it keeps crashing, reinstall obs and obs.live, if you haven't tried already
Hello
how do i open media request window
if i closed it by accident?
using obs.live version 20.3.22.613
Hi there
I dont know who was helping me before to detect why I am getting dropped frames
I have now got the log file ready with the dropped frames
@lilac ocean anything?
This is my log : https://obsproject.com/logs/wl4LSNoJB8t6SO8x
Did you reinstall already? @silver tundra
hello, still having same problem, how to open Media Request window in obs.live?
hello, still having same problem, how to open Media Request window in obs.live?
@marble crystal menu StreamElements (on top) > Media Request
hi there im trying to make the switch to se but obs is causing me a bunch of trouble do i just ask away here?
So wait, where do I go to uninstall OBS? and Also @lilac ocean will I get to keep my scenes?
on obslive can i see the number of viewers
@autumn delta what is your platform?
@plain mason mean windows 10? Twitch? or obs studio?
So my issue is I'm always getting dropped frames and was told to send the log file when I start to get them again. So here it is as I am very confused with why I'm getting them as I have a good upload speed and a good PC : https://obsproject.com/logs/wl4LSNoJB8t6SO8x
@plain mason mean windows 10? Twitch? or obs studio?
@autumn delta live stream platform 😛

@silver tundra Your x264 encoder is crashing. And I see you're using an AMD Ryzen CPU. There are two main reasons why OBS would crash:
Outdated BIOS (very common)
Faulty RAM
So try to update your BIOS or of this won't work, try with different RAM or switch between the ones you have (given that you have more than one stick)
Is anyone here able to help me with Media Request in StreamElements OBS? I had it working a few months ago, but now the Youtube player isn't showing up in OBS and attempting to open the browser source gives me an "Invalid Token" message.
@plain mason ah ok thanks
@steel mural I believe it was you i was talking to before ?
I have attached the latest 🙂
@wintry kiln
I wasn't active in support today so it's unlikely that we talked to each other. Also it's pretty late where I live so won't be around for long.
Dropped frames: Network problem between you and the server you're streaming to so check your network or ask your ISP
Rendering lag: GPU overload. Start OBS as admin and limit your FPS to something that won't push your GPU over 90%+. Ideally, just enable Vsync in your games video settings.
@steel mural I actually RECENTLY updated my BIOS so that couldnt be it
And as for RAM, do I just need to get more?
Like I run 16 GB now, should I get 32?
No. When you know for a fact that your BIOS is up to date, try different RAM. I didn't say to get more
So my RAM sticks could just be faulty?
yes
Is there a way to check if they are?
There's a software called "Memtest86" but I can't help you with that
Because that would mean I'd need to drop another 150 on RAM
And also, why did you namedrop my CPU? Is there a problem with that particular CPU?
There's a known issue with Ryzen CPUs and the x264 encoder.
So my CPU could be the issue too?
Because if my CPU is the issue, I'd need a whole new motherboard too
Unlikely. BIOS and RAM are more known for having issues when using a Ryzen CPU
Someone told me to try uninstalling OBS, is that something that would help?
Not really. I know that you were asked to do so but this won't fix it. ^^
So chances are OBS would crash again if I tried to do a long stream?
What would be the best fix then? Just getting some different RAM?
Check for a BIOS update again, switch RAM slots, try only a single RAM stick at the time, run Memtest86, test different RAM by asking someone you know if they can borrow you RAM before buying new one and ultimately, buy new RAM
I updated my BIOS like 2 weeks ago, so its unlikely that there's an updated BIOS
hello guys
i just made myself an overlay
but when i added the overlay in my obs it didnt work well
i was hearing the sound but the image didnt appear
how can i fix this
@median arrow Check the dimensions (by default 1920x1080
yeah its the same
Ok, I've tried to figure this out for at least an hour. I am now desperate enough to ask for help. How do I add overlays to my stream after I've added them to the dashboard?
I can't find "add overlay" near the scene options :l
@sleek hawk 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
copy the link
Ohh BROWSER
and add browser paste the link
There is a plus in the lower left of the scenes section in OBS.
Thank you!
it migth not appear the image 😄 but you might hear the sound
can some body help me
i just made myself an overlay
but when i added the overlay in my obs it didnt work well
i was hearing the sound but the image didnt appear
how can i fix this
@median arrow OBS -> settings -> advanced -> scroll down -> enable/disable hardware accel.
https://i.imgur.com/ggMe9ZE.png
oh thanx 😄
Is there any option for a "Performance Mode" in OBS other than disabling preview?
@broken adder 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.
Is there a way to pre-load overlays so OBS doesn't have to fetch them every time I switch?
you can do that in studio mode
Disable the shutdown when not visible option, but this might cause audio issues and needs changing of the overlay setup to solve these.
Hmm. I don't think my overlay makes any noise? Why would that cause audio issues?
If you use an alertbox in every overlay, which is active then, it can cause issues.
Also note, that loaded overlays in the background requires higher load.
So you'd suggest just accepting it instead? It only really looks weird when my cam is already on the scene and then the rest loads in two seconds afterwards lol
@sleek hawk You could set it as a transition over 2 seconds, so it'll load them up and then the scene will change
@sleek hawk Check out this tutorial for OBS’ studio mode which allows you to preload scenes before transitioning. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W8iWsD2Lq3U
I'll check out that video, thanks. Things are getting confusing in the program 
Hi guys. So I have done a couple of streams now with SE fully setup, however none of my tips are showing up in my revenue history which means some of my on screen graphics aren't working. I have received email confirmation from Paypal that they are being processed. Any thoughts?
If a viewer tipped through PayPal but no information appears in your StreamElements account, this generally means PayPal has held the tip for verification. Until PayPal clears the tip and sends back a confirmation to your StreamElements account, no information will appear there and no alert will play, as that confirmation is the only way for us to be aware of a successful transaction. If you believe there may be an issue with the transaction, you'll need to contact PayPal support as StreamElements is only a passthrough service and never actually gets involved with the transaction or touches the money.
Its a brand new Paypal account and they are holding payments at first so that makes sense!
Hey there! When I redeem an item from my Stream Store, it only plays the audio but it doesn't the show gif. I've added the "store redemptions" widget to my overlay and it's been saved. I'm not sure why it's not working properly.
does it show in the overlay editor if you test it?
It does, but it's gray for some reason.
Hi, for some reason I can not see the stream elements panel and it's just OBS studio
ANy way to open up stream element panels again
@rugged quail I could be wrong, but try clicking "StreamElements" on the above toolbar. In the dropdown you should see options such as Activity Feed, Chat, Media Request. Clicking those should add them back into your OBS.
Sadly I don't see those anymore, It just says active overlays and takes me to the themes gallery :/
Oh just needed to update tipping and it came back lol weird thanks
Nice! Glad it worked out. Happy streaming 🙂
how do i delete an old subscriber alert so i can put a new one its playing all the old ones
i have my alerts set up but can only hear sound not image can somebody help please
Is there any way to disable the streamelements bot from showing me what Twitch Support has tweeted in my chat?
@gray acorn https://streamelements.com/dashboard/bot-modules check the module twitter
thanks @honest echo I found it
Hey i cant figure out how to activate streamlabs in obs live if someone could help me
that doesnt make much sense, what are you trying to do?
so you know when you first setup obs live and it says hook up the streamelements bot and hok up streamlabs
well i hooked up streamelements and i cant hook up streamlabs now
or i dont knoow how
there is no message to hook up the streamlabs bot when using obs/SE
^^^
are you trying to copy stuff from SL to SE
in obs, go to the StreamElements menu and you can transfer your scenes and sources (as long as they arent SL copyright and over 30mb).
you can also go here
https://streamelements.com/dashboard/account/import?provider=streamlabs
make sure you are logged into both SE and SL website for it to transfer anything over
Alright thanks
its saying an error accoured
oh nevermind
but how do i import the alert box?
help me, White screen on my browser, i Cant edit my overlays, ( overlay editor = white screen only)
@novel glen to edit your overlays you need to go here : https://streamelements.com/dashboard/overlays and press EDIT
yes i did, and this happen
when i press this edit button, white screen will appear, thats why i cant edit overlays
By anychance is that google chrome ?
microsoft edge, any browser i use, still white screen on my overlay editor
try Google Chrome and maybe even incognito mode
microsoft edge, opera and chrome, all white screen
some extensions causing troubles sometimes
ok i will try
help?
Please keep your question on 1 channel
Guys, i need some help. I have streamelements for all my overlays and alerts, however today i had some viewers complaining that they made donations, and it did not give an alert, i donated to myself and it still did not give an alert, does not show in my revenue history, but does show under "latest tipper". I have checked and tipping moderation is switched off.
@silver tundra probably he is sleep right now but he will be around in a couple of hours 😉
is there anything that you were talking with him, maybe i could help 🙂
Yes
any idea how i can get my alerts to show in another scene they all work in my game scene but not my intermission scene i can only hear sound
My OBS has been crashing multiple times recently after switching to it. After sending him the crash reports he said my x264 encoder is crashing and it may be a result of the RAM I’m using, so he told me to perform a memtest on the RAM
@cursive valley Did you test it over Paypal?
yes, tipped myself from another paypal account i had
it does not show up in my actual paypal account either
If a viewer tipped through PayPal but no information appears in your StreamElements account, this generally means PayPal has held the tip for verification. Until PayPal clears the tip and sends back a confirmation to your StreamElements account, no information will appear there and no alert will play, as that confirmation is the only way for us to be aware of a successful transaction. If you believe there may be an issue with the transaction, you'll need to contact PayPal support as StreamElements is only a passthrough service and never actually gets involved with the transaction or touches the money.
ok. so how can they tip without having to go through that process?
yes both scenes are 1920x10800
1080
i just want to duplicate the alerts from my game scene to my intermission scene
@rugged quail you can duplicate the alertboxwidget to any other overlay
click on the alertbox widget and then press the duplicate button
i go to alerts layer
Sorry to barge in, I'll wait my turn
lol, just 3 support requests at once
@cursive valley since we are only a passthrough service best to talk with paypal support
could you try to open your obs again please @silver tundra
and if it crashed upload the new crashlog here
I havent tried using OBS since the two crashes last night
You mean the crashlogs from then?
no i mean try open obs again
Ok I just did
crashed again?
maybe try to replicate the same situation
@silver tundra I run mine in administrator mode
In that case I'd have to stream and it would have to run for 3-4 hours
@silver tundra i hear some other reports from users with crashes with AMD Ryzen CPUs probably due to the x264 encoder crashes, you could try to reach obs help support over their discord if they have any insights about this
@silver tundra For the best OBS support, please join their Official Discord @ discord.gg/obsproject
Is it my CPU then thats the issue?
HELP PLEASE:::: Before I wiped my PC everything was working fine. I made another twitch account for a StreamElements bot. After the PC wipe my bot will not stay in my chat list. I have gone thru the steps of leaving the channel and joining several times to try and reconnect it to my main account I like I originally did the first time I set it up. But it keeps leaving. The only bot that starts now is the original StreamElements bot. Which before did not show after the name change. So I'm stumped what would cause this. What must I do on my end to fix this?
@silver tundra i can't say that for sure, but i hear some others users with troubles with ryzen cpu .. as well as some other users with problems on MACs
@autumn fern ok... i will try to read again
So StreamElement is in your twicth channel
The custom bot name isn't working
Yes
Do you have obs.live?
Yes
@autumn fern no need for that comment 😉
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
Am I removing the original target and putting only what you typed in #1?
@honest echo When I add the "--remote-debugging-port=40404" to the end , Windows says its invalid and won't let me add it. So I am confused as to how or where I am adding it to this ->> C:\Program Files\obs-studio\bin\64bit\obs64.exe
looking for some help finding a good " loadout" command for streamlabs obs 😩
@honest echo I am stuck on your instructions at #1
@autumn fern "C:\Program Files\obs-studio\bin\64bit\obs64.exe" --remote-debugging-port=40404
@fleet talon We're not able to troubleshoot issues with using our overlays in StreamLabs OBS (SLOBS) as we don't have the tools to support their software. We recommend using OBS Studio or OBS Studio with our plugin OBS.Live.
ok thanks... I will try that
Not sure if its jsut my internet on weekends or not. My stream seems to be buffering alot today and never has before
hey so quick question but how do i get my alert box setup on obs live?
@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
@honest echo I am not finding a console tab.
hey so i have a streamlabs alert box right but whenever i test the alerts none come up
hey nvm
i found out how to use streamlabs its a tad bit better
@autumn fern
Is there anyone who can help me with why my stream is buffering all of a sudden. THis never happened before
@gaunt bronze wdym by buffering?
My live stream to my viewers everyone is getting bufferd and delayed stream by 60 seconds
I have never had this before?
@honest echo I am not sure how to get my Activity feed to open into a browser like you have it... My Localhost:40404 is saying the page can't be found. I have turned off my virus protection but its still not allowing me to do anything.
Does anyone know how to fix this problem? or is it just my internet right now
@honest echo Yes that's what I have
yes and yes
I have a gateway modem so I am going to open up the ports on it to make sure its not blocking the ports real quick
@autumn fern you should be able to open that site on your google chrome and since is localhost that shouldn't be a problem
I was streaming with no problem and my cpu was only at like 20% while streaming fortnite. but now its risen to 50% or even more! i have no idea why but can anyone help? i have a gtx 1050 , r7 2700x (i know its a bottleneck but this just started happening) 16gb 3000mhz ram
having an issue where i can't set up a countdown i set one up but it will not display in Stream Labs any idea why this is? i'm pretty sure i set it up correctly however it will not display on OBS nor the webpage i try to view it on
@honest echo Appreciate the help. Finally figured it out.
I was streaming and like an hour into the stream, stream chat stopped loading when I got to type into the box it was just loading its very frustrating when you have a lot of viewers and you have to log out is there a way to resolve this please it's happening quite often now
I've read something about hardware acceleration in some forums regarding this matter
@lament frigate Hey did you add some other sources? maybe try on delete everysource and add it one by one until so see that increase on the cpu usage again
i have only one source which is game capture and no stinger transitions
@honest echo
@regal saffron 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 there, I just posted in the twitch support channel, but its probably more relevant here. I've noticed in a stream I mod for that the custom bot name in OBS.live seems to be logged out after 4 hours of streaming. Is there a way of making it persist longer? A workaround my streamer has been using is to open GroundControl to re-enable the bot name, but it happens every stream.
I am actually also a developer with experience in authenticating against the Twitch api if I could be of assistance to your devs
i've done that however it is not working...
Can you provide a bit more info maybe?
@spark verge tell them to try this:
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```
OK then. He's streaming right now, so I won't interrupt it, but I will pass it on, thanks
is 13 upload not enough to stream?
@gaunt bronze 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 
Just strange that my stream today is buffering but has never done this before
@gaunt bronze 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.
@gaunt bronze 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+)
@gaunt bronze 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
Dropped frames same as buffering?
yes
buffering means non-stable connection
meaning dropped frames, meaning internet issue
im getting 14upload
i have no idea
itnernet workign fine first time ever buffering
idk what i can do to fix this lmao
Read the guide for starters: https://obsproject.com/wiki/Dropped-Frames-and-General-Connection-Issues
This guide contains every piece of dropped frames / disconnect / network related advice we can give. If you really truly honestly super duper actually 100% tried everything in…
Hey guys, I tried getting an answer from the OBS discord but no success... Wondering if you guys know why I cant hear my Alert audio on OBS individually when I have monitoring off. ( I checked the box that says Control Audio via OBS, when adding the browser source to separate audio)
So, when I have monitoring off in the advanced settings no audio is going to my headset BUT OBS and stream can hear it. Turning Monitoring on to ether setting gives me audio but also plays the audio on another audio source (causing two inputs)
This is the box im talking about. I've had it disabled for ages now and didn't mind, but I kinda want the Alert audio separate now. Only issue is that when I enable it, I cant hear my alerts & stream can.
@blissful glen If you are not hearing your Alerts and/or Media request, you are most likely using the "Control Audio via OBS" option in your browser source properties.
To make sure you hear the alerts and the stream also hears them, follow along the screenshot bellow.
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/199460642975907840/685371800456134686/unknown.png
Mmm, back to my message, I was probably unclear: When I enable the monitoring option is plays the audio on my Desktop input as well. Is that intended? (audio is lower there but still being picked up and played)
ex:
I don't believe so
Hmm. Might just disable the control audio via OBS setting then. pretty annoying that I cant figure this out :\
--- If anyone stumbles upon this and has a solution feel free to @ me/DM me :)
I actually want to troubleshoot this together, but i'm doing so many things at the same time 
Can you show me your audio settings? @blissful glen
Sure, one sec. And no rush on this, truly. I kinda just want to get to the bottom of it, but again dont mind reverting.
Advanced Settings:
I cant get my host alerts to show up
@livid otter Due to changes to Twitch API, we have filtered out hosts and will only show these ones on your activity feed:
- All hosts coming from an online channel with at least 1+ viewer
- Auto host events with at least 1 viewer - only from a channel that just went offline
Note: If you see "X channel has hosted you" with no viewers on the back, that is considered an offline host or a host with 0 viewers, we do not show these.
Note for Mixer streamers: The above 2 filters currently apply for Mixer and we are aware its actually not how Mixer hosts work. We do plan on changing it, but no ETA on when.
@blissful glen specifically from settings -> audio
Here you go, ignore the two Voice inputs, it shouldn't interfere with the alert stuff since that's specific to voice monitoring.
astro mixamp 
Hahaaaaa. Bit of a headache I know
that is where you lost me 
Yeah, no worries. I'll probably troubleshoot tomorrow, as its getting late. If I find a solution I'll let you guys know incase someone encounters the same issue.
I suspect you getting a feedback via the desktop audio is because of the mixer interface. Its picking up the audio from monitoring and rerouting it back to your headphones causing a double monitoring issue
hence why you hear it again
Ah, I see. Going to test a different output device and see if that does it.
vREEE didn't work. Tried using speakers & separate mic as output + input, same thing.
what if you remove the 2nd desktop audio? 
Tried that. Nothing. Even tried resetting all my audio settings as if It were a fresh start.
--- Okay, found somewhat of a solution... In Settings > Audio > Advanced, changing the monitoring device to another output will 1. let me hear audio, and 2. NOT duplicate it on OBS. only downside to this is that It's not in my headset/whatever my default device would be on OBS :\
Alright, gonna call it there. Thanks for the help anyway, really appreciate it. Goodnight!
default device would be the one that is set in the windows audio settings usually
also my stream is disconnecting, while it says im live still
then it wont stop it just sits on a grey stop button for a while

how can i add my custom overlay in streamlabs
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
how can i remove delay on my stream ?
if i was streaming but i was on the Stream Starting scene in OBS is there away to change what im recording on my stream scene without changing what is shown on stream
I can't seem to find my stream live stats and my edit stream info panels they kinda went poof and now they are gone
View > Docks
I checked under View > Docks they aren't there
is it something I'm gonna have to have a custom browser dock for
no
ah ok I'll try that
Does anyone know how to fix the audio coming from media request echoing?
It doesn't echo on the stream, just on my end
Make sure you don’t have a browser open with the editor open, and make sure all your overlay sources are set to shutdown when inactive
Anyone can help me with restoring backups from cloud? My Restore button is disabled idk why
Would anyone be able to provide information on how to remove the NDI plugin from OBS Studio Live? I did the normal Uninstall and now when I boot OBS it tells me NDI plugin not found. So i went into the OBS program file and removed anything NDI and now I get ndiplugin.liberror.message.win error code. I'm at a loss on what to do next unfortunately.
A reinstall didn't fix the problem 😦
Ok never mind.. I fully uninstalled everything OBS and a reinstall seemed to fix my problem.
@kindred fox ty!
Is that something I should generally do with all my sources for performance reasons or just the media request stuff?
All overlays

ived added a media source /video to my obs i can seeit moving on the mixer in obs but hear nother i can hear desktop sounds and my mic is picking up stuff
I have not gotten to stream to work not even once because of this"issue" i have asked for help in other places with no success...SOMEBODY PLEASE HELP. ive tried everything...😩
i bought a new overlay from nerd or die and when i try to install it over the script i only can install the green blue colored but i want to install the rainbow colored how can i do this ?
are you going to listen and follow my instructions this time?
because in your last response, you didnt listen to me at all.
i tried what you said, even tested
@split rivet 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+)
do that and post the log
i bought a new overlay from nerd or die and when i try to install it over the script i only can install the green blue colored but i want to install the rainbow colored how can i do this ?
how does one post a "log"
by reading the instructions
gotcha
i think i did i correctly
i know you are prolly busy, so thank you for the help @plain sonnet much appreciated

Question! Im having an issue where for some reason, when I speak into my microphone, the audio is also playing through my Desktop Audio and am getting a rediculous echo.
Hi, how do i setup alerts on obslive 🙂
@split rivet so with this log you made a recording, which doesnt help if the issue is with streaming.
so, my next question is do you use the SE bot renaming or media request control features in obs?
Alright. So I found out that it is being caused by RTX Voice. When it is off, there is no echo. I turn it on and OBS is picking up the audio it is putting out as Desktop audio in addition to it being the sound for my microphone.
FFS. In my volume mixer. RTX voice is not showing any audio output. But OBS is still sending my voice out as a Desktop Audio.
How do i get the text in the correct place?
here is another log where i tried to start streaming. as for a SE bot. i believe i am using one. tbh, i dunno what an SE bot or media request control is..
settings > audio
make sure the devices are set correctly
if the devices are set to "default"
make sure the correct device are set in the windows control panel
if you set them per device,
make sure the devices are connected and turned on
@hasty junco
restart obs when the settings are made and test again
This alert creator is so confusing to use..
@plain sonnet I have my desktop audio set correctly, along with my mic set correctly. You can see that the system audio and OBS audio are reacting the same way when I speak into the microphone, but RTX Voice is not. I also have my inputs and outputs set correctly on RTX voice. When I turn off RTX voice, this goes away completely.
This has to be coming from the interaction between the two programs.
hey ndi doesn't work with obs live ?
hey, it does
i can´t made a Source
!ndi
Download the NDI installer here: https://github.com/Palakis/obs-ndi/releases/tag/4.8.0. If you're not seeing "obs-ndi" folder in C:\Program Files\obs-studio\data\obs-plugins, download the archive and extract and paste both folders (data and obs-plugins) into C:\Program Files\obs-studio.
nice thank you now it works
dont know where to ask this but was wondering if i where to muilti-stream would the bot connect to each chat?
no
would you know why this still not a thing?
because it's complicated to connect to multiple platforms at the same time?
you can't even do it in OBS
for chat you somewhat can | also im talking about actually bot and events not obs
Im sure its user error but I was wondering if anyone could assist me with making the alert text appear above my custom alert. It will appear on both column and row (in its respective area) but text over image wont show the text :/
@keen quarry try the layouts, check the "Enable custom css" option (should be disable) then go to text settings > advance and play with the margins
Ill try that now! Ill let you know it that works. Thanks alot
@plain sonnet any luck?
@honest echo So simple and yet extremely effective. Thank you so much
That's my nickname 😉
I'm having trouble with my kbs while I stream. I have a isp with 600upload and 35download. I'm running at 1280/720 with bitrate at 2k. Went from one day stream running perfect to the next day laggy and choppy. Any Ideas?
might want to up that bitrate to 4000-5000
I upped it and no luck.
@gilded lion 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.
that's the result from the log
always run OBS in admin mode, that will help windows allocate more resources to it so it can run smoother
check the green link in the log for tips on the dropped frames issues
Awesome! Thank you!
and it also says you are streaming in 2560x1440
not in the 1280x720 you posted earlier
so you might want to change that to begin with 😉
Oh snap! My bad lol
keep base canvas the res of the monitor and adjust the output res
Ok sounds good
Hey, I came to get help with a problem?
@rugged quail 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.
I've been trying to record for a long while, but my OBS just has a black screen. I'm not really skilled with technology and I've tried everything but nothing fixes it
i need help streaming apex legends to facebook live using my laptop
apparently im dropping frames which is messing up my stream on fb
anyone have any help
@subtle wyvern 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.
Alright. So my issue isnt RTX Voice at all. I have it off and OBS is still taking all input from my microphone and putting it into the desktop audio.
Is there any actual staff around to assist?
I frequently loose the top bar of obs live on any pc so I cant move, minimize or close
when I maximize it that happens
This is making even less and less sense.
@hasty junco Hi maybe you could ask on obs discord if there they have more insights about your audio setup
I have disabled my desktop audio and I still hear the echo. I disabled the audio from my microphone, and still hear the echo. But this only occurres when OBS is running.
@hasty junco For the best OBS support, please join their Official Discord @ discord.gg/obsproject
Thanks for the link.
this is the top of my window all I can do is exit happens all the time doesnt matter what system i use obs live on
The windows border is what disappears
So i just realized its f11 fullscreen doing it on its own
@mellow snow try to unlock an lock again the task bar
you mean lock?
exactly 😉
okay i give it a shot thanks
is this where someone can help me with alerts?

@sleek dagger say your doubt :)
Did you already import the overlay link to OBS > Source > Browser? @sleek dagger
Having a small issue with MediaShare Echoing whenever I click "show on stream" - I'm lost on this one. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Hey, how do I add overlays?
@clear 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
@shut patio 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
@sleek dagger OBS -> settings -> advanced -> scroll down -> enable/disable hardware accel.

do I enable it or disable it??
is it normal that i get 20% cpu usage from obs live? also i drop from smooth 300+fps in csgo to 100-200 stutter when obs live is running
@hasty river 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.
https://obsproject.com/logs/-C6hivs6Yff2uURH i looked up good settings, when that didnt work i started experimenting so some stuff might be random
I'm trying to disable the setting that makes recording settings same as stream. Can anyone help?
@tidal forum
Could anyone help me with this?
@wintry lodge Streamelements on top of OBS -> Logout -> login
i've been recently losing frames (not dropped frames) while not recording or even streaming and this has never happened before. Also note my cpu usage is at 3%. I have a feeling it was from the new obs update. can anyone help me please?
Can someone tell me why, every time I add a desktop capture, it doesn't appear on my scenes?
i need some help with the media request panel in obs live. Whenever i select "show on stream" the audio doubles. How can i fix that?
@silent patrol do you have another tab of media request open in your browser?
no just on obs live
@rugged quail Please provide a log from your last stream. To do this, in OBS go to Help > Log Files > Upload Last Log File and paste the link to the log file here.
@silent patrol Make sure to ☑️ “Shutdown source when not visible” for all browser sources (all OBS scenes).

@steel blade they are already set to shutdown when not visible
when i try to view my dashboard on the streamelements website, it doesent owrk and idk why
work*
@burnt knot you are on google chrome?
yeah
Try incognito mode, maybe some extension is causing trouble
worked. thx
I still need help
@silent patrol you are using any other software to route your audio devices?
no
when i allow the media to play on stream, the audio is played through the stream, and through the media request panel in obs live
??
@silent patrol let me do some test here
ok
@silent patrol your audio monitoring option is off?
yes it is off
so weird mine works fine
Im not sure what's causing it. Even with obs being the only application open, if i set it to show on stream, the audio will double
@honest echo This is what my output option looks like. And the option to change from simple to advanced is greyed out so i cant change it.
everytime when i try to connect / login this shows up:
how do i delete the media request so i can see my chat?
just click on the x
theres no x on mine
screenshot?
Anyone know how to reset my Donation Goal for streamelements? Everytime I add the goal it's starting at some random number, or whatever my donations are at. I want it to start at $0.

Is anyone able to help me out with media requests?
@steel blade https://obsproject.com/logs/-C6hivs6Yff2uURH the log that was asked
that log is completely empty though
@hasty river 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.

@steel blade https://obsproject.com/logs/ptTCEKFiugpVLH4_ did what u asked, sorry in advance
@wary dew okay thanks, il see what i can do
Hi! My host alert doesn’t show when someone from mobile is hosting me. Is that a real thing? Or is something glitched? Thanks!
@lament crag Due to changes to Twitch API, we have filtered out hosts and will only show these ones on your activity feed:
- All hosts coming from an online channel with at least 1+ viewer
- Auto host events with at least 1 viewer - only from a channel that just went offline
Note: If you see "X channel has hosted you" with no viewers on the back, that is considered an offline host or a host with 0 viewers, we do not show these.
Note for Mixer streamers: The above 2 filters currently apply for Mixer and we are aware its actually not how Mixer hosts work. We do plan on changing it, but no ETA on when.
so im new to this obs live. i have my overlays sstup but i cant figure out how to make my camera work? probably something simple. thanks for the help!!
Thanks!
Any ideas how to put the stats page into obs layout as with the other bits like chat/activity?
view > docks > twitch stats
Yea i know how to get it up but i can't get it to slot in, stays as a seperate window
That came out so wrong lol
can you send a screenshot of your obs
weirdly something i did just sorted it
Is there way to Improve latency delay?
All my alerts work on my overlays except for the host alert - any idea why?
@rugged quail Due to changes to Twitch API, we have filtered out hosts and will only show these ones on your activity feed:
- All hosts coming from an online channel with at least 1+ viewer
- Auto host events with at least 1 viewer - only from a channel that just went offline
Note: If you see "X channel has hosted you" with no viewers on the back, that is considered an offline host or a host with 0 viewers, we do not show these.
Note for Mixer streamers: The above 2 filters currently apply for Mixer and we are aware its actually not how Mixer hosts work. We do plan on changing it, but no ETA on when.
Do the hosts meet those criteria?
So are the changes in Twitch API the reason why they aren't showing on the overlay, with my Alert Box?
Also, I had another question - is there a way to get Twitch's chat that has the goals at the top, for instance the monthly subs and cheers and stuff? I thought I saw it at one point in OBS Live but don't remember, and can't seem to figure out how to enable it, maybe I'm missing something, or misremembering.
Yeah, if the hosts aren't from an online channel with 1+ or the auto host event with 1+ viewer, it won't be shown. Twitch API things.
For the leaderboards you're talking about, those are in your Twitch creator dashboard settings.
Hey, am i able to connect an elgato hd and elgato hd 60 s to my obs to switch between games??
I need help if so. Not quite sure
Twitch > Creator Dashboard > Preferences > Partner (or affiliate). I believe this is what you're talking about @rugged quail - if so, check these settings to enable them.
Am i in the right place for my question or go to obs help discord?
@topaz drift they'll definitely know there, but yes, I think you can connect two capture cards to the stream pc and switch between them within/or in separate scenes just fine
Well i have two pcs but im trying to use a nintendo ds and ps4 at the same time
so long as you're streaming from one of the pc, and you have a capture card to each of the consoles, yeah, should be fine, just need to make sure you have both capture cards as separate sources
Yea, Im trying to figure that out. But i know certain elgatos i dont think can be used together because of the driver
maybe i should find an elgato server?
I'm sure someone on the obs server will know more
is there any options to help with latency in OBS?
@topaz drift For the best OBS support, please join their Official Discord @ discord.gg/obsproject
So yesterday when I went to stream I noticed Media Request no longer works from OBS.Live. Every song gives a "THIS VIDEO IS NOT AVAILABLE IN YOUR COUNTRY" error, but if i try and control media share from the browser it plays fine. I live in the US, and even my own personal youtube videos give this error. Its worked seamlessly for past month, but suddenly its not working, I tried restarting OBS, and PC, I tried re-logging into OBS, and tried re-loading the overlays too...not sure what else to try
How to add spotify "playing now" to my stream screen?
How do u add separate donation tones for different amounts?
check the variations in your alertbox widget 😉
i guess no one knows. Anyone here know how to use two elgatos on one pc
elgato hd and hd60s
@topaz drift no clue
Yea, i guess no one there knows either
@topaz drift If you are having issues with Elgato hardware or software, we recommend reaching out to their support here: https://e.lga.to/help

random question and anyone know how to do custom text layouts for alerts
i got an alert box for the text in my animations
and need to the text to go within the box
hello ! i was s=wondering how to set up widgets and donation/followers notification
I can't get the top box to change my title and game anymore, what am I missing?
So you have a graphic with a space for text and you want the text to be within that space? Modify the line height @rugged quail in your overlay editor, it should help you with what you're looking for.
@steady cave Add the alert box widget to your overlay on the SE website.
the Starting Soon overlay countdown timer doesn't work for me when I switch to the Scene that contains it..
@vagrant yacht 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
☑️ “Shutdown source when not visible” fixed it, thanks
Anyone know how to get the window to change your title and game?
@sage minnow 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
not sure where else to drop this, I cant get to my dashboard on the streamelements website, everything just keeps redirecting to the home screen, any idea whts happening?
@cosmic kayak Please logout of StreamElements at https://streamelements.com/logout and then login again to your account (Twitch/Youtube/Facebook/Mixer)
ok that worked thanks
Hello ! i have made some widgets and one of them is a chat box, it doesnt seem to be working and i dont know how to fix it
Hi im trying to set valorant so i can stream it but when i add valorant as the game capture its a blank screen
I'm trying to troubleshoot an issue, I'm currently on the default release path and was going to try both the beta and the stable release versions to see if the problem is still there or not, but whenever I switch paths it says there's no update. Is this a bug too or are all 3 paths currently on the same version?
@lone siren For the best OBS support, please join their Official Discord @ discord.gg/obsproject
How do I activate the media request option?
@hushed whale Do you stream on twitch?
not on youtube
Media request is not available for YouTube.
ah just on twitch?
so I'm going to start stremeing with twitch even if there are no viewers thx
hey, had a quick, maybe stupid issue, but whats shown in my overlay is not the same as i get on my stream. For example, if i put my stream chat like this:
it pops up like this in obs:
which means it somehow scaled wrong?
@shadow maple maybe your base canvas on your OBS is bigger than 1080p
might be, how do i change it?
@shadow maple better change the overlay resolution
I have one more question for what it is useful to import streamlabs and how does the alertbox work?
@shadow maple
afeter you change it, edit the overlay again in order to make sure that every widget is on the right place
@hushed whale better ask depending on the platform (youtube, twitch, mixer)
Can you tell me from YouTube?
Ah alrighty, ill try it out, thanks, big man
Just to keep order could we move the question on #helpdesk-youtube ?
@hushed whale ⤴️
I already asked there
@hushed whale great!
yeah, it didnt seem to do it @honest echo 
hey, ive been using OBS to stream on twitch for a little while now, but i recently deleted all audio devices and scenes. I heard theres a right and wrong way to re-add them, anyone know how to do that?
To add your audio devices you add them on Settings > Audio > Devices
You could add as much scenes as you need
if you are asking about the overlays
@woeful spire 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
@honest echo just wanted to say that it didnt work
to be honest im still fairly new to this so i might be dumb, but i meant like if i should use display and game capture for different things and how to properly add those
Im also kinda shocked cause i heard this was a really helpful server but i didnt realize how fast people were willing to help 🤣
yea alot of people on here.

@woeful spire you could add windows capture for each window, like your browser, or some games it will depend on what are you trying to stream 😉
and thank you both, we do what we can to make this server as helpful as possible, and all its because of this great community 
do you happen to have anymore fixes on hand? @honest echo
@shadow maple did you save the overlay after the change?
and re added it to you OBS?
yeah, im messing around with the properties of the browser now, might have set it to 1920 x 1080
@honest echo For some reason when i add a window capture it automatically captures discord and wont let me switch it even though i have chrome and a game both open
try going into properties and changing the captured window there
@woeful spire Open OBS with admin rights
@shadow maple That doesnt seem to work, ill try opening it with admin
yea, would change that in properties, so that it launches with admin every time
@honest echo No, that didnt help, its not so much as it wont allow me to change it, but rather theres no options to change too. Would it be easier to just use a game capture scene for when im streaming games and then swap the scene to display capture if i wanted to stream lets say something on chrome
@woeful spire yes, that really depends on your setup but its recommended not to have more that 1 capture source on the same scene
Alrighty, is game capture generally the best way to capture a game for a mid-to-high end pc, and same for display capture for chrome?
@woeful spire some games won't be pick up with gamecapture and you will need a window capture
@honest echo hm, i currently have Overwatch open and when i select window capture it captures discord straight away with no other options, but now i can atleast change it with running as admin, theres just nothing to change it to

Every song gives a "THIS VIDEO IS NOT AVAILABLE IN YOUR COUNTRY" error, but if i try and control media share from the browser it plays fine.

I just answer your DMs with the viewer countwidget made by lx : (https://discordapp.com/channels/141203863863558144/457957557470887947/647040755767967755), also i tested your overlay in my own OBS and its working i share with you the result and my personal settings for the browser source, at the very end i tell you how can you enable/disable hardware acceleration if you can't see any overlay on your end
@molten mantle you could 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 StreamElements - Media request link
5) Point the (in browser) URL to https://youtube.com/
6) Use the OBS dock to search for a song and play it after ads
7) Restart OBS and preform media request via chat
8) Remove --remote-debugging-port=40404 from shortcut
I am having problems with media requests loading into obs,, Ive tried everything I am aware of nothing is working,,, any ideas??
@exotic forum What is the exact problem?
@honest echo I'm trying to do this, but when I add the line to the target field i get a "not valid path" error, I tried adding it at the end both in and outside the quotation marks
I fire up obs and media request is blank,,, viewers can not request song
@molten mantle you need to add that after the ALL THE SUFF/obs.exe" --remote-debugging-port=40404
@exotic forum could you share a screenshot?
ohhh ok, there needsed to be a space between, my bad thank you ^.^
it workde tysm 🙂
@honest echo Im trying, cant get any computer cooperation right now,,,
@honest echo not sure why,,, but refreshed the media request box for the 100th time and it came back??? have no clue why, but it works again,,,
If it works.. don't fix it 😛

In game chat? @jovial willow What do you mean?

So I’m having issues getting media requests set up. So We have created an overlay, added the widget and then add that to a browser source in my obs. Stream elements is adding songs and they are supposedly play. But there is nothing actually playing
Been a while but how do i add my streamelements alerts to my streamelements obs?
I remember before i could edit them from the obs?
dont seem to have that option anyhmore
@jovial willow For the best OBS support, please join their Official Discord @ discord.gg/obsproject
How do I switch my OBS.live to recognize when I'm streaming to twitch. When I bring in chat and my activity, it only shows my youtube actibity which, I initially setup my OBS.live with youtube but want the ability to switch back and forth and there doesn't seem to be a way in the interface to change that
@mild schooner Streamelements on top of OBS -> Logout -> login
Thank you!
can somone help me add the media share overlay please?
@astral 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
@astral sedge you need to add the media request widget to your overlay in the overlay editor. When you are in the editor you can click the add widget icon and should be able to search for media request and it will guide you to add the widget
Hey guys, trying to perform a test stream with Twitch inspector.
I cant find my streamkey to enter the details as needed i.e (?bandwidthtest=true) adding to the end of it. Is there another way around it?
https://dashboard.twitch.tv/u/YOURUSERNAMEHERE/settings/channel
this is where your streamkey is located
@shy mountain thanks mate, all guides say I need to add whats in the brackets above within OBS inorder to do the test stream.
My question is where do I find it within OBS.Live so I can edit it?
(Sorry if I conveyed that badly)
That does not appear on mine
Hang on, I'll het a grab of it
Hence my confusion, as thats where I went to look.
So:
A) Disconnect -> place streamkey with the band width test argument
B) Just click the bandwidth test mode
So if I click that B option it will only be a bandwidth test?
i believe so
@blissful swift 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
how can i get alerts for both youtube and twitch in the same alert box/event box? (for multi streaming)
i need add theams from streamlabs obs in obs.live @shy mountain
@honest echo
and how do i login in to both on obs.live as it would only let me log in to 1 or the other
@blissful swift In order to import scenes/overlays from SLOBS, you need to have OBS.Live installed.
After you install OBS.Live, click on "Streamelements" on top, then on "Import from other services" and then click on "StreamLabs - Import Now"
Each scene from SLOBS will be imported as a stand alone Overlay here: https://streamelements.com/dashboard/overlays
@elfin wolf you can't - we don't have multi-streaming support
oh dam ok
I don't understand what hte issue is here.
Either you install the extension
to import your alert wigdet from SL
or you use OBS.Live
to import your SLOBS scenes as decribed above by the bot
I want to link Streamlabs OBS & OBS.Live
You cannot link SLOBS and OBS.Live
OBS.Live is a plugin for OBS Studio
and SLOBS is a standalone program that is a branch of OBS Studio
I want to take a theme from Stream Labs and put it on OBS.Live @shy mountain
@blissful swift In order to import scenes/overlays from SLOBS, you need to have OBS.Live installed.
After you install OBS.Live, click on "Streamelements" on top, then on "Import from other services" and then click on "StreamLabs - Import Now"
Each scene from SLOBS will be imported as a stand alone Overlay here: https://streamelements.com/dashboard/overlays

missing the browser source?
yeah
uninstall obs.live, reinstall OBS Studio install OBS.live
You are most def. missing an installation there
and if during any of the installation you get an error popup saying to "abort", "ignore" and "retry" and you clicked "ignore" then you've screwed up the installation process
Hello I cant acces my Dasboard neither my profile I allways get sent to the home page
on the streamelemnts browser

obs live just crashed on start for me I can't use it at all even after reinstalling https://i.imgur.com/nSo6z7P.png
@rugged quail 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.

Ok, uninstall OBS.live, then uninstall OBS Studio and then install both
in that order
how you install them doesn't matter
big bruh https://i.imgur.com/EZhzc7C.png
restart PC and try again
Same error https://i.imgur.com/W4luLI7.png
Obs studio is still here

a fellow share x user
alt + printscreen is faster 
https://obs.live/ get the installer of obslive from here and run it
i'm curious
Well I installed in a different directory now install went smooth

Well I'll be damned
when did that happen?
Launching after install
ok, lets do this again - uninstall both again and then restart PC
but heres the thing I did some stuff voodo shit and deleted scenes because I still had access to delete scenes and now it started fine
install only OBS Studio
run it
and then if it doesn't crash
install obs.live
voodoo as in editing the .json file for the scene collection? 
nope I legit just deleted it from within the app since it didn't fully freeze on me
and now it's starting fine no issues at all
that works as well
some browser source might have bugged out
cuz libcef.dll was crashing
You see my VRChat experience has made me qualified for that position 
Hey media share is queing wrong songs. How can I fix?
@sonic hare can you elaborate?
hey all, i somehow change the chat window to the twitch dashboard...How do i reset it to jus the chat?
@supple estuary Streamelements on top of OBS -> Logout -> login

Thanks 🙂
Is there a way to animate a picture in streamelements?
Animations are based on how the widget will show it self if being triggered, e.g. alert widget will fade in and out if set to do that sort of animation.
ahh so not normal pictures unless its from a widget then?
How do I connect OBS live to my youtube instead of my twitch?

@merry moth You can download the StreamElements app on android and run it in companion mode. It'll list your activity feed.
Otherwise, you can login to the StreamElements website either in mobile, or desktop mode and go to the activity feed.
Okay cheers!
Hello!
i was just wondering how i fix the audio on the media requests playing double
when i have enable preview off
it still plays the audio twice
Can i make it so my camera turns off faster so its already on when i switch scene. Cause' it doesn't have enough time to turn off so when i switch scene i have to turn the camera on manually. Thats is why i haven't switched to obslive. I use slobs until i can fix this or when i buy a new webcamera. Any advice?
hi guys, i have a quick question that im struggling with, my overlays is done editing and its on my OBS, now like all my emulates from my editing is on my stream screen, will it go away as soon as i go live or is there something i done wrong?
So you know how there is an event list I want to have it say something like ">//" before every name

Hello 👋 Is there a changelog for the updates of OBS.live?
Trying to activate my chat bot. The activation tab is grayed out...What am I doing wrong?
how can i install obs live on linux mint?
OBS.Live is only available for windows.
Yes. ok.

Do you know how I can change the language of my obslive? I wanna change to spanish the panel that shows the suscribers, alerts etc...
Hello. I need some help. Trying to use a super theme. But, when I put it into OBS it isn't positioned correctly and is cut off. I tried fit to screen and resizing, but it doesn't fix the problem. When using my tip alerts, same problem, that seems to be resolved when I dragged it around on the elements editing page. Manually doing this with the super theme seems like a headache of a task. Any suggestions?
@hoary canyon Does your resolution in the properties of your browser source in OBS match the resolution of your overlay in the overlay editor on the SE website?
Whatever you resolution of choice is, make sure that those settings match.
Overlays in SE and OBS should always be 1920x1080, since they were create with this resolution in mind
Can someone pls help me
Ok thanks guys
What's up @open kite
@grizzled marsh Do you know how can i change the language of my obslive? I wanna change to spanish the panel that shows the suscribers, alerts etc...
I asked internally but I don't think that's possible
Ok thanks 🙂 @steel mural
does obslive work with mixer, for exaple chat panels etc
settings > stream
and if you have the SE plugin,
streamelements > log out
How? @plain sonnet
if you are using stream key then just remove it
I called the YouTube account and want to leave the account @plain sonnet
i dont understand. you want to use youtube or twitch?
then click "connect account" in settings > stream
then streamelements > log out
then log back in
I do not want to link any account
@plain sonnet
then use a stream key from your twitch dashboard
I do like this
But I linked the YouTube account to the mistake and I want to disconnect it
@plain sonnet
THX
The Custom Bot name is not functioning properly for me in OBS Live
After I connect the bot account, it just does not save it.
how do i connect the streamlabs deck app to streamlabs obs
@rugged quail That is a STREAMLABS related question. This is the STREAMELEMENTS discord server
ohw i didnt see that thanks for reminding
Hello, has anyone had issues with "local" audio latency from a capture card after installing OBS live? happens after using obs live for 15 minutes or so but will go back to normal after a little while. a restart of OBS will fix it until about 15 minutes into it again. Anyone seen this issue before? btw, adjust the MS in properties does not help as this goes in and out
having issues with overlay links in OBS Live, i have inserted as a browser source but nothing displays. i have tried typing in random web addresses and they work fine but overlay link doesnt
anyone else having issues with the media request tab, mines doesn't show anything and even if i browser to the media request option on chrome nothing shows either apart from a loading circle GIF
have used it many times before and for some reason its not showing anything, i've tried refreshing as well to no avail
@neon sphinx Streamelements on top of OBS -> Logout -> login
thank you that resolved my issue
hey
i can't click on anything if i am on obs live
like my taskbar won't show up and i dont get icons of clicking away on the top
Not sure if this is the right channel, but how do I put in custom fonts on my overlays?
@past elm 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.
Okay.......overlay widget settings in the browser? Do i type in the font in the custom font family?
hey
i can't click on anything if i am on obs live
like my taskbar won't show up and i dont get icons of clicking away on the top
hey guys got a question i have a problem where my overlay doesn't show up every time and sometimes it loads up slow.

OBS live when installed is causing a c0000005 error. my GPU drivers are all up to date on the latest version. not really sure if the issue is with OBS or OBS.Live but . When when OBS live isnt installed OBS launches perfectly fine.
Dear support Ai that has fixed them not showing up but now there is some lag between transitions
@turbid socket Check out this tutorial for OBS’ studio mode which allows you to preload scenes before transitioning. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W8iWsD2Lq3U
Hello there. I'm having an issue with OBS.LIVE. I've done the best I can to separate music track (Media Request / !SR) from the game and all so I can also record and keep the music OUT of the video...
The problem I'm finding with that is that I have to keep the alerts in the same track. Sometimes I'm playing a competitive game or I just plainly don't want to hear the same music as chat, and so, I turn off the songs in my DAW software... and that also turns off the alerts.
I would ALSO like to keep the songs at a volume ceiling and for that I need a compressor filter on the track.... and guess what, it would also compress the sounds of the alerts. Admittedly, I do want to compress the sounds of the alerts but NOT at the same threshold as the music, especially because one will interfere with the other, and sometimes songs might be louder or quieter due to youtube not having normalization features on its player (OR the player being used by the Streamelements Media Request)
What I need:
A way to compress the songs through the Music Request track SEPARATELY from the ALERTS (the same audio device OBS uses) so I can keep the volume loud and the compressor turns the volume down during music that peaks the threshold.
SADLY, Ground Control Just doesn't want to start on my PC and I don't know why but I believe that would have been a way to do this... (Also an issue I'm having)
Is that ever going to be in OBS.live?
Edit: I used to have a solution in plain OBS that I could monitor the alertbox but it doesn't work in obs.live apparently. So yeah, I'm having a hard time dealing with this here.
@turbid socket 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.
@slim herald try this for GroundControl> kill GC with your task manager then go to %APPDATA% delete the ground control folder and start it again
@honest echo I've tried. Nothing works when I tried to revive it. Even asked a friend to send me their files and nothing works.
There's two processes, one using about 5-6mb of ram, 0% cpu. One using 25-26mb ram, 0%. Nothing happens.
No logs either
@slim herald give 5 seconds i'm looking for another (last) thing
How can I clean my donation history? I've donated some testing donations and I cannot clean it on-screen.... i've donated 11€ then -11€ and it keeps on 0€... I've deleted all donations... and also banned the 'fake' user but still appearing on-screen... tx for the help
@slim herald ok, close again ground control aopen command prompt as administrator and enter this del %homepath%\.se-gc\config.json
@turbid socket check this link : https://obsproject.com/analyzer/?url=https://obsproject.com/logs/IPc2ltqQp06q9DTG
@honest echo It opened now. Literally took me days trying to figure it out and a single line of command did it... hah
Thank you so much I'm going to save this line of command
in case it happens again
I see a stream chat on my main monitor and idk how to remove it
its at the top middle
does anyone know how to remove that chat?
My second monitor has the OBS live running and it shows this
@upper niche try this, click on view > docks and see if chat is checked there.
The rogue chat box looks like the default OBS chat dock and not the OBS.Live one to me.
i have a question, when i disable the web source for alerts and overlay my game seems fine, but when i enable that i experience lower resfresh rate on my monitor or kinda input lagg idk. is there a way to fix this
@grizzled marsh It was. Thank you so much ❤️
@hasty river OBS -> settings -> advanced -> scroll down -> enable/disable hardware accel.

@steel blade does not change anything
@hasty river 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.
@steel blade https://obsproject.com/logs/ptTCEKFiugpVLH4_ thats the one i send in days ago 🙂 didnt stream since then
2nd, this can now let us stream to Facebook, Facebook Pages, Twitch and YouTube all at the same time right?
Well you need to make a new one
https://obsproject.com/analyzer/?url=https://obsproject.com/logs/ptTCEKFiugpVLH4_
I'm just trying to figure out how to stream to all 3.
@civic copper SE doesn't support multistream
Really?
What is the purpose of connecting all of the accounts then>
I just connected YouTube and Facebook Page as soon as I installed the add-on.
duplicating overlays and managing your channels
Is that not a feature to stream to both? Am I mistaken?
Well you need to make a new one
https://obsproject.com/analyzer/?url=https://obsproject.com/logs/ptTCEKFiugpVLH4_
@honest echo why?
if you want multi streaming, use something like restream
it is (platform dependant)
if anyone can help im having trouble with obs picking up my mic, ive looked on multiple fixes and none work
It's not free for Facebook Page, YouTube and Twitch all at the same time.
I've tried, trust me. Lol!
facebook isnt, yt and twitch is
@hasty river cause the log that you provide doesn't seems to contains recording or streaming session
Check the link that i sent
but to put an end to this. obs and/or SE doesnt support multi streaming
I am curious as to what I logged into my accounts for then to set it them all up?
already answered above
duplicating overlays and managing your channels
@plain sonnet Missed this by accident.
@honest echo il try to record something, but i was thinking, is the problem maybe just obs as a whole, i read multiple monitors can mess up the hz on your 144hz monitor
