Weird on Slobs everything works fine but on OBS nothing works HELP!!!!
Top is Slobs bottom is OBS
got the camera working now just seems like browser sources from streamelements aren't working
@cunning barn 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.
Streamlabs tends to block our overlays
what exactly doesnt work?
I think the streamlabels you are using, are placed in SLOBS, correct?
Or are they placed over at the StreamElements website?
No I am saying I am trying to use OBS it was working a month ago
then it crashed so I just started using slobs again
@lilac ocean
What platform do you stream on?
im going to ask around fro you
I have been using streamelements for about 4 months the browser source usually works fine
@lilac ocean
@cunning barn For the best OBS support, please join their Official Discord @ discord.gg/obsproject
would be the best to ask in OBS their Discord
there we go 👌
not sure if anyone else gets this issue or maybe its the streaming software i use but the font i pick in streamelemnts doesn't transfer over to my stream when i hit save. it reverts back to times new roman, only some fonts seem to work like default nunito font
@tall breach 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.
oh ok thank u so much! can i download straight from the google link?

@plain sonnet ohhh thank you very much:)
@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
If you don't want to use OBS.Live and want to stick with Ground Control, please let us know your Twitch username.
any help would be greatly appreciated, I've been trying to fix this for about an hour now

@steel blade Ty 🙂
hi there, noticing a fram drop when using the stream elements overlay again... changed nothing from the last time you all helped me fix it... any ideas?
Is there a way to put a custom widget onto a scene on the streamelements site?
Hey so i made an overlay on the website and i went through the steps to set it up on my stream but its not showing up anymore. It used to work and when i came back one time it was gone and now it wont show up at all
hey i cant import my overlays fromSLOBS
hello i am on overlay editor, my monitor is 49 inches so 3840 x 1080. I cant get the white background to get bigger to fix it?
@mighty umbra OBS -> settings -> advanced -> scroll down -> enable/disable hardware accel.
https://i.imgur.com/ggMe9ZE.png
my overlay dont fit on obs.live. its like shrunk
its 1920 x 1080 but it wont like resize to my resolution
@rose reef if you have already added the overlay to obs live as a source try right clicking the source goto transform and click fit to screen see if that helps
hmm let me see
@rose reef or right click the source goto propertys and were it says width and height try altering that to your screen size
ok slick settings in bottom right corner goto video and were it says base canvas and chat to see what that is set to <-- on obs live
Oh
have you found it
Yes but the game is messed up
resize it to refit
now right click ur game and fit to screen
I can’t
why cant you
is there a staff member around to help me merge my mixer and twitch accounts
It’s on game capture
not in that part try right click transform and fit to screen
Ok
mind you im not a pro im just listing thing that i would check
It look tiny lol the game screen
you look tiny or the game does?
your webcam or game?
what is your desktop resolution?
@rose reef you cant stream 3840x1080 full screen games
@sinful flint are you availible to help me merge
I can certainly try, do you know what's required already?
yes
DM me the JWT tokens and I'll try to get it done
@rose reef Top screen is what I see, bottom is what my stream sees. Just scale your game to fit vertically and center it on screen,your viewers will still see the game but wont see all the extra wide goodies
Ooo nice
they wont see my mini map or ammo but thats not important really
some games adjust themselves so the HUD fits in 16:9 ratio so the mini map isn't way off to the side and where it usually should be
But if you want them to be able to see that, just change your in game resolution to 1920x1080 and put other things in the un used side space
Alright, thanks
No problem, enjoy your ultrawide!
Hi! i am having this weird graphical bug show up on my OBS Live and i was wondering if i could have some help with fixing it
i can provide images

Why StreamElements Overlays are better?

My OBS.Live seems to be bugging out, It doesn't seem to want to load when I load OBS, i was having this issue yesterday and an un/reinstall fixed it but today its doing it again. I got an error today mentioning something to do with my connection to twitch, but OBS opened but none of my chat or activity windows would load, from the OBS docks or Stream Elements ones.
Im reinstalling now in hopes to have it work for today but Im hoping to find a fix for this.
Is there a way to separate your media request so your info is on one part of the screen and video on another without showing video in both? Here's an example of what I want but without the video showing in the top left widget.
@rancid dragon Media Request Window > Gear Icon/Settings > Show/Hide Video button
yes but that hides both
double check the settings because I had the same issue and it is definitely a feature
my obs live is bugging out so I cant walk you thru it 😦
definitely no setting to only turn one off
or a particular one, rather
i could do it by making the background of the info box white but that'd ruin the look i'm going for
@rancid dragon i promise to explain my setup as soon as I get my .Live running, unless someone else can explain it before I do lol
any tips on how to import the chat boxes from streamlabs?
@rancid dragon i promise to explain my setup as soon as I get my .Live running, unless someone else can explain it before I do lol
@proper portal it works with a white background
i guess its not under settings, i should have looked at your picture larger and I wouldnt have missed it lol
at the top of the media request window theres a button called "video on", click it lol
oh, but you want 2 video request windows on?
any tips on how to import the chat boxes from streamlabs?
or maybe import an existing overlay into the editor
hi i have a question when i use media request on choose show on stream the music duplicates itself and echo's any advice?
Thats because its playing directly to the stream on its own audio channel (as it should), but youre also listening to it from windows default setup im assuming, which is also playing that same audio source as if it were a browser or game audio source.
Where are you listening to the video from exactly, if i remember correctly it only lets you play the media request for yourself or "show on stream".
I haven't set up media request with default windows audio before so I cant really explain how to prevent it from looping without looking into it (but my obs.live wont load right now), its do able for sure but without being able to open my media request settings i cant walk you thru it, i suggest googling it as I assume its a common thing.
Need Help, OBS keeps crashing from communicating with OBS.Live and Twitch
Attached is my crash log
i hafve a question, do those overlay like sub alert works? or i add on it?
@rose reef are you new to setting up overlays and alerts?
@rose reef New to Stream Elements?
Check out our YouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/c/streamelements/videos
with tutorial videos from setting up the basics, to in depth details on how to use our product.
New to OBS? Here is a 4 step quickstart guide
https://obsproject.com/wiki/OBS-Studio-Quickstart
Want to learn even more? Here is an in-depth overview
https://obsproject.com/wiki/OBS-Studio-Overview
@rose reef if youre using an overlay that has them added then it should already be set up. to check go to the overlay editor and click "edit" on the overlay youre using
when youre in the editor there is an "emulate" button with a bell, click that and then click "follower event", if an alert pops up on screen then that overlay has alerts
They should update if they're set up by the designer. If you got the overlay from streamelements themselves and using their browser then they're most likely all ready to go
like recent sub, donation, follower and now playing?
Basically, if you use a streamelements overlay from their site its already set up with alerts and all the widgets working, some things you may need to link depending on the widget but they should for the most part be working.
If you get an overlay from somewhere else you have to make a new overlay in the editor, place all the elements you want and where, including widgets, by yourself.
OBS.live will be working with that?
Yes, OBS.Live is a direct connection to the streamelements website, its a plugin.
If you update your overlay with OBS open, it will update live.
ok
If something happens on twitch, it will send it to your stream elements account (be it chat or donations etc) and with the obs.live plugin it will show it to you in OBS, so you have access to everything you need for twitch and settings/control for stream elements all within OBS.
oh i should add obs live plug in on twitch?
@rose reef oh, no, thats not a thing, you connect your twitch and obs.live settings when you link it on the website. OBS.Live is just the StreamElements plugin for OBS. Everything should already be set up if you have OBS.Live working in OBS.
okay 🙂
If youre live and have the overlay on stream, youre all set up
i hope i did everything right lol
you can test if your alerts work by going into the overlay editor and using the emulate button. But other than that everything should be working!
audio for my intro was working fine yesterday. today i accidently removed it. when i put it back it has no audio??? anybody know how to fix this?
okay
@spark owl your intro scene?
media source
yessir, intro scene coming from a media source where audio is playing fine on my pc. when i open it in obslive i get nothing
alright, so if its a media source coming from your pc, re link the file in the media source properties or have the "refresh when scene is loaded" button and reload the scene
well i just removed media source, re added it and made sure all of my boxes were clicked correctly, tried it and nothing. so i deleted the media source exited obs live. loaded back in re-added it and it says media source audio levels are moving but im getting no audio. its strange
How do I add my overlays from the streamelements website to the streamelements obs
@static jetty 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
@spark owl if the meter is moving then it should be outputting to the stream, are you wanting to hear that audio back as well? if so you need to go to Edit > advanced audio settings, then on the audio source channel you want to hear select the Monitor drop down menu and select monitor + output
how to copy overlay from i edited?

How do I get my overlay url
@static jetty from the overlay editor or "My Overlays" page, the overlay you can edit will have a chain link button as well like RubenSaurus just mentioned. Paste that into a new browser source in OBS
@proper portal thanks, ill try that. its just weird bc i changed zero settings and i was hearing it today and yesterday fine until i deleted it and now im getting nothing. ill try that and let you know... thanks for the help bro
@spark owl settings sometimes bug out, just the way she goes
super weird that it was working through desktop audio yesterday but not today. you are a life saver. this shit stresses me out. that worked btw. THANK YOU!
ayyy good to hear!
youre a beast bro. have a good day!
You as well! Happy Streaming!
OBS stream elements is lagging my game and the overlay ?
When it's closed, My game goes back to normal.
@wintry kiln do you have the website open? How "busy" graphically is your overlay? And can your computer handle the game and OBS at the same time?
@wintry kiln 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.
I have RTX 2070 super, I9 9900kf , 32gb ram
When i click on the obs tab shall i say its fine, I go and click on the game.
and it lags
How do you add a sound command? I want to make a command that a viewer can use with their name in it.
Ex: !Kamehameha will play a certain sound

@eager peak https://streamelements.com/dashboard/store/items
but making one that has the username in it is not possible
or you would have to make an item for every user
okay.. i am deaf.. how i make music? i added media request and linked the YT music. so it will work through the stream but dont want be bothered by it because i am using buttkicker system thats under my chair
@eager peak check out triggerfire 😉 can do it using that
Thank you!!
@eager peak triggerfyre

Any ideas ?
@wintry kiln 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.
Thank ya!
should still post your log so it can be viewed
@steel blade can i get some help too?
How to add chat on the screen
@wintry kiln OBS -> settings -> advanced -> scroll down -> enable/disable hardware accel.
https://i.imgur.com/ggMe9ZE.png
That's ticked for me.
untick it
@static jetty what screen and whos chat for?
do you want chat popping up during stream or do you want chat on top of your gameplay for you to read while the game is full screened
@steel blade can i get some help too?
@proper portal what is your issue? i scrolled up quite a bit but only saw you helping out other people
@proper portal In order:
Uninstall OBS.Live, leaving only OBS Studio.
Delete your browser sources.
Reinstall OBS.Live
Remake your browser sources.
chat popping up during stream
https://obsproject.com/logs/OKLmDljWRz-KpRya
@tulip hamlet thanks, i'll give it a try
Is there any way for me to export my sources so I dont lose my settings (so i can remake the sources after)

@proper portal The point of the steps taken is an issue with the sources themselves, so exporting and then importing is counterproductive, because then you're back to having the bad sources.
How to add chat for viewers to see
@static jetty You were already answered.
how do i turn off viewer count off, i knew there was a way before but i cant find it
@tall breach Menu in top left of activity feed.
@tulip hamlet not to be used upon reinstall but to know what settings and filters were used so I can recreate them
hello, this error message means i need a faster computer ? Encoding overloaded! Consider turning down video settings or using a faster encoding preset.
Is there a tutorial for overlaying chat on one of my stream scenes?
@tulip hamlet so remove JUST browser sources from my scenes correct?
Correct.
lol wish there was an undo so i could undo deleting 3 of my scenes without noticing hahaha
@wispy escarp in the overlay editor https://discordapp.com/channels/141203863863558144/494513233416421386/712399326760140840
Thank you, king! 👑
@tulip hamlet so during the uninstall it says i still have an [\obs-browser-page.exe] open, but i literally deleted everything, every source and scene i had. Do plugins count as browser sources? I have StreamFX and the new OBS MIDI plugin installed
It's possible.
Should I remove those as well or try the reinstall with those still installed?
Were you able to uninstall?
Im still at the "Close Programs and Resume Setup" page of the uninstall wizard
Alright, so I reinstalled WITH the plugins still installed, opened OBS and have my OBS.Live features working. Going to load a new browser source and see if it loads
@tulip hamlet Overlay loaded into a new browser source doesn't work.
@proper portal OBS -> settings -> advanced -> scroll down -> enable/disable hardware accel.
https://i.imgur.com/ggMe9ZE.png
Confirmed, that hardware accel. is causing my issues. I turned it off, reloaded, overlay popped up. I turned it back on, instant crash and crashes upon loading.
I dont remember ever changing it, but if its fine to keep off then i have no issue doing so!
oh, but you want 2 video request windows on?
@proper portal sorry for the late reply but yeah
@rancid dragon why do you want 2 request windows?
i'm essentially wanting my info separate from my video
so my info above my webcam
and the video in the corner
i did get a workaround by adding a background to the info
but it doesn't really go with it
i want the transparent background without having the video behind it when i turn video on
@rancid dragon you just want the modules separate from each other, correct?
i believe you can add multiple media request windows in the overlay editor, its under engagement
i can, yes
but when i have the video turned on the video shows under the info box
because it's set to transparent
gimme a little bit, im going to fiddle with it and see what I can come up with
cool cool mate, thanks
@rancid dragon You can add the "now playing" widget 😉
oh you're a life saver mate
Hello, currently I am doing multiple streaming outputs at once on Twitch and mixer but for some reason the overlays do not want to work together? I have them both on two seperate platforms and tested individually is fine, for some reason when i copy the mixer alert link into my OBS the twitch one then deactivates and so on? Is there a way around this?
@eager sphinx StreamElements does not have multistreaming support.
Ah ok, thought id try it out to see what it was like but I guess I wont be 😛 Back to single streaming platform!
Thanks!
i need to link my facebook channel but it says its already claimed
logged out on both accounts on stream elements and didnt work
also on my streaming pc the streamelements page is white with just a help logo. ive cleared cache and everything. seem to have ran into issues
@lusty kayak Account Merging - Please note:
- Merging accounts only allows faster ways to switch between accounts
- Merging accounts does not allow data sharing between accounts - different streaming platforms, different type of events
- Merging accounts allows duplicating/sharing overlays between the accounts
If you understand the limitations of merging and want to proceed, please find the JWT tokens (!jwt) from both accounts you want to merge and you will be directed to DM them to a staff member.
DM them to @tulip hamlet
thank you!
hello why my obs cant record display capture
@velvet comet Laptop?
@velvet comet 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. is there anyway to have preset auto tweet to twitter when i press start streaming
Auto tweet is set up on the site, not in OBS.Live.
steps plz?
@potent sequoia https://streamelements.com/dashboard/social-media
another thing .. each time i close obs and re-open it, the custom bot name goes to default and the chat goes back to default white-norm font and size .. thaws causing that?
@potent sequoia for the dark mode check pinned messages
yes but its not the dark only as i said its also the size and type of font
its been like that for 3 days
is there anyone that can help me merge jwts?
@lusty kayak Your channels were already merged.
this is my issue that i mentioned up
When I try to open my obs live it won't open how can I fix this issue?
@potent sequoia 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
Now how do I stop it from running? Or how to delete the app data?
my alerts are only showing half of it in obs live, I'm new to stream elements and i just grabbed one of the alert packs, I've tried 2 different packs, could i get some help?

Hey guys I'm having trouble with TTS. I can hear my alert sound but can't hear the TTS. My stream has the sound but I can't hear it.
wait is ground control basically installed within OBS Live
@proper cargo no
is ground control the exact same is the obs.live?
having an issue with the program, Game cap will not work at all. i have tried deleting GC then opening the program in admin mode then reading the GC tab, even restarted my PC but still nothing anyone have a fix for this ?
What does ground control have to do with game capture?
@proud yacht in essence, yes and no - OBS.Live has its separate docks that provide the activity feed and media request, while GC can't have both open at the same time
Thanks @shy mountain. I downloaded GC but for whatever reason I cannot get it to open at all. I pops up in the task bar as if it is open. However, when I click on it, nothing happens.
open a cmd and run this
del %homepath%\.se-gc\config.json
I am trying to import my themes, and I have been using the browser source. I has only been putting in a little bit of it. This is what it looks like:
@willow sigil The default resolution for StreamElements overlays (theme and custom) is 1920x1080. Please add them in OBS at their full resolution and use CTRL+F to fit to screen if necessary. You can then downscale your stream in OBS settings > Video if you'd like https://i.imgur.com/6bWXxjR.png
Thanks

alerts not overlays
my alerts are all the way to the upper right, on some of bigger gifs they are completely cut off
The alert widget is part of the overlay
so if the overlay is set to the correct resolution
then most likely you've not placed the source properly in the OBS canvas

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
ohhhh I didn't know that thank you so much

my stream chat in obs live is black but i want it in white how i cjange it
What is your browser source resolution?
@odd kraken yeah that was issue fixed it now thank you
Ty so much that fixed it whew
So, I hope this isn't a really dumb question but I am very new. Going to the Streamelements website and looking up Themes, I selected one, hit Create and it goes to My Overlays. All I am getting is URLs that it says enter into OBS. Where do I enter it? I can't seem to figure out how to get the Overlay from the website into OBS using the URL.
@pure snow 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 I will see if that helps

Help
Try a Display capture instead or otherwise a Window capture
thank you man!
I am also having an issue where it wont display the text over the alert even though it is set to "text over image". The text is just gone when emulated. Like it physically isn't showing any text over the animation.
Sorry, I was trying to say Display Capture, is not working
It's displays overlays too large or really zoomed in I don't know how to do this

@lilac ocean I tried it but still not showing my desktop
Are you on a laptop? @undone citrus
Yeah
@undone citrus 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
It worked, thanks 😄
No worries!
does anybody know why i can't get a new overlay to display on obs? im copying the URL and posting it in the browser and nothing has come up.

Question, when emulating an event it shows up perfectly on the streamlabs editor, but when following my main twitch account on a second account, my alert didn't show up on my OBS, or am I just stupid and it only shows when I'm live?

I really need help before I can start my stream
need help to setup my obs settings for a smooth and clear streaming of apex legends on facebook gaming
my spec
i7 4790
rx 570 8gb
16gb ddr3
can anyone help setting up the best settings for a smooth and crisp stream
@neat briar 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

Hello I'm having an issue with setting up my alerts. Specifically the cheer alert. I have an animated alert and sound I've uploaded and I've submitted them to the cheer alert portion of the overlay. When I emulate a bit cheer it still shows the default steamelements alert animation and sound even after hitting save. Keep in mind when I emulate it's showing the default animation and sound both in the overlay editor and in obslive.

I just got donated on stream but it didnt not go to SEPay it still went to paypal please someone help
@inner knot Edit the variations, not just the main alert.
@cloud finch Far as I know, .mp4 is not supported. We always recommend .webm for animated assets.

how to i move layers in the template editor
template editor?
overlay editor
the web based overlay editor
i click and drag the layer but it doesnt move it
the layers in the editor are for the widgets
i'm not sure what you are trying to achieve here
i need to send the airportceo logo to the back
so its under my frame
i want the top layer in the list to be the last layer in the list
be careful how much you drag it to the obttom
cuz if are passing the settings and position - those are tabs
it wont even let me move it down 1
Then use your browser in this case
ah ok, yah im using what popped up in obs.live... i brain farted, im tired and didnt think of that, thank you

So thats my new video however when I try to emulate it after saving as well I get.
Any ideas??
Check the variations of the alert
Thank you

the only variations are checked are resub, sub gift, and community gift
ok i fixed it
Hey, I believe I accidentally deleted the widget that was automatically added when trying to add/connect media requests. Where should I go from here to reconnect my media request to to obslive? It was also not playing the audio of the songs being requested to my twitch stream? How can I fix this?
Streamelements on top -> media request
Yeah
It’s connected
But I do not have a new source added on the bottom
And am unsure how to connect everything
Are you referring to the dock OR the MR widget for the overlays?

@pulsar hollow are you using game capture? Something changed around them, when game captures dont work either use a display or window capture
Hello a question you know why in OBS live it does not capture screen? it remains black although I can record and all that but the game captures / screenshot come out black, how can I solve it? :C
I just don't like the other ways. Capture mode seems better to me because I browse the desktop if you are streaming see only the game and not the entire desktop only the game some help or next update
@elder jacinth OBS -> settings -> advanced -> scroll down -> enable/disable hardware accel.

its a hardware accel thing probably @marble robin

follow this vid ^
Thats how i did it before, but nothing changes
It stays like that
And I also cant send a test message
so when you click on the Set custom bot name, you cant select anything?
this?
right click on the capture source @elder jacinth
I can select these and the other options are working, but if i click on custom bot name and log in with my bot account, it stays like snd before

I'm having - again - problems with updating OBS.live. After updating OBS I get a message that I have to update my streamelements plugins as well, I click ok, it downloads the update, closes OBS automatically, but then I recieve several errors mentioning "Error opening file for writing".

Hello I have a problem. My chat in OBS.Live didn´t work!
salve io ho problemi a creare i miei overlay personalizzati ed inserirli su streamlab qualcuno puo aiutarmi?
@terse rivet english only please
would like to important everything from slobs to streamelements
can anyone help me i tried everything.
so when i try to import my overlay from nerd or die from streamlabs to obs live it messes up and wont take it. i dont know what to do
I am having trouble with my overlay alert sounds. When I'm streaming my alert sounds will either play again 30 seconds after, 1 second after, or on top of each other. It doesn't happen when testing the sounds, it only happens when I'm streaming. I've gone through and removed the extra browser sources to see if that would fix it, and I've even checked to disable it while not on scene. I've also now tried making the alerts it's own overlay.
After installing SE, my dropped frames (which was never happening before) went crazy.
@marble robin 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.
Log without SL, same settings, unchanged, same game, same screens with same bitrate, no dropped frames: https://obsproject.com/logs/2nQjEKOelDrafCrq
2004 is out? Haven't received it, but yes I have 2 monitors, 1 is TV and it's only support is 720p50Hz weird that it wasn't saying that before
Still don't get it why is there no dropped frames here: https://obsproject.com/tools/analyzer?log_url=https%3A%2F%2Fobsproject.com%2Flogs%2F2nQjEKOelDrafCrq
when SL was uninstalled
You'd have to ask SL.
Dropped frames are only from internet connection. Having the plugin or not doesn't affect that at all.
That's why I am confused
There's ethernet to USB options out there, I'd recommend looking into it.
yup.
I'll try again with SE installed
but I'll check if any of the stores in my country have the USB ethernet port
It was Wi-Fi I guess: https://obsproject.com/logs/VnX2iFT9vC6-0GUa
I assumed that, that's why I said in general chat and not here
but I'll keep looking for that USB, still haven't found any of the stores here having them :L

yeah*
when will my question be answerd cuz i want to livetsream
Does anyone know how to make such gradient in tip goal widget?
@edgy quail You would need to custom code a widget. The default won't do gradients.
I know, I just don't know how to write it
How do I change my OBS.Live chat window to darkmode?
@wheat atlas See pinned messages.
@rugged quail Please provide screenshots showing events you received that did not appear in your activity feed.
there is nothing to screen its just that if someone subscribe or donates its wont show op in my activity feed or on like my overlay it doesnt show up i dont know why
If there's nothing to take a screenshot of, then how do you know you received anything?
sub counter on internet and on youtube it self i see my sub count going up
and i saw on my paypal someone donate
@rugged quail Users can choose to make the channels that they subscribe to public or private. By default, all settings are set to private.
Private: When a users subscriptions are set to private, no other user can see what channels they subscribe to. A user's account does not show in a channel's Subscribers List, even if they are subscribed.
Public: When users subscriptions are set to public, another user can see what channels they subscribe to. User subscriptions are listed on their channel page, and their account is listed in the Subscribers List for any channel they subscribe to.
If a user has it set to Private they will not show up in the activity feed. More info: https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/7280190
Take a screenshot of the transaction in your PayPal.
do i need to send the screen in this chat
Preferably. You can black out personal information.
DM me the full screenshot. No blacked out parts.
@wheat atlas Screenshot please.

@tulip hamlet send it private
@rugged quail 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.
How long does it usually last? (talking to the previous message)
i made a alt acc and it still didnt work my alert box and activity feed idk whats wrong with it i turned of sub private on my alt youtube account and nothing came in my alert box or in my activity feed
So nothing worked
Question.. Host alerts dont appear on the activity feed.. are they bugged or something?
@sour fox 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.
Can anybody help me on my obs live my chat will not change to dark mode?? Really want to have it in darkmode I know it's possible
See pinned messages.
Perfect thank you
Also is there any way of changing the way that the activity feed looks? Is there a dark mode for that?? Instead of the blue/purple??
Am i able to transer my scenes from one pc to other without remaking it?
@mortal summit check the pinned message again, there is a dark mode instruction there as well
Thank you @lilac ocean I cant seem to find the media request so I can see it on my OBS ??

Why StreamElements Overlays are better?
😎 Simple: Load your entier setup using only 1 link
⚡ Fast: Cloud-powered Overlays arrive in real-time, say goodb...
add the widget in your overlay ^
It's not that part you know how you have the tabs that show audio mixer start streaming etc I used to have the media request there so I could see the videos when someone makes a request 🙂
How do I add that again I cant seem to find it ^
@mortal summit StreamElements menu at the top of OBS.
And that will add it to like the bottom row if I wanted too right??
Hi guys, can you help me? It's my first time to actually design my own layouts..
So, what are the differences between the alerts: FANS, SUPPORTERS and FOLLOWERS? Also TIPS and STARS..
Which ones are triggered by facebook and which ones are for other platforms? Or are they the same whatever the platform for streaming is used?
Those are all Facebook events.
Oh I see.. if I decide to stream via Youtube for example, how do I set those as well?
You log in with those accounts instead.
ahh and the specific alerts will show... gotcha.
thank you so much!
The backup feature in OBS Live is not working for me. Any advise?
@reef spire Please be as descriptive as possible when explaining your issue.
When I go to the OBS Live backup option in the app on my computer, all my boxes are checked beside my scenes and profile, but the backup button is grayed out.
I can't get the OBS stream elements overlay editor to open. It says invalid.
Edit your overlays from the site, not from OBS.
It's worked before. I'm trying to resize the webcam box.
my obs live on both computers will only record 10 second clips....please help. wicked annoying
@rose swift For the best OBS support, please join their Official Discord @ discord.gg/obsproject
So I’m having major issues with everything. I moved laptops and I’m trying to set everything up and it’s a huge huge mess
@ember lily 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.
So one, the OBS live is “updating” but it stopped updating and moving. And 2 my overlays I made or completely out of view and I can’t fix it without it looking super bad and cramped
It’s hard to explain we’d have to screen share
@ember lily about the obs.live stoping at update this could happen if your didn't give it admin right, if the issue persist, try a fresh install remove obs.live and obs studio and then install all of them again,
And for the overlay byt default the overlays are 1920x1080, if your base resolution isn't that you may need to change it on the overlay page and check every widget is in the right place have change it. You can check your base resolution in OBS > SEttings > Video
the base resolution is 1920x 1080. If i have it in the middle of the canvas its 75% off of the obs canvas on the right @honest echo
Did you check the width and height on the browser source?
👍
also for the updating it has the admin rights
I got followerbotted with 1000 Followers right now.. I already removed the follows but how can I reset the alerts? I can't activate my stream overlay without getting followers spammed
@unborn schooner
That's not working :/
my audio stopped working once i installed OBSLIVE how do i add more audio sources ? https://i.imgur.com/AsWta6G.png
@echo folio
ty
@honest echo i cant cancel the download or anything
i tried re runing it as admin and nothing is happening, i cant delete it ether
@ember lily Did you uninstall OBS Studio first? if so that is why it fails, install OBS Studio and then remove the add-on
@honest echo i tried both ways and nothing
Anyone knows how to fix a OBS recording that has like 5 mins of frozen frames with audio still playing?
All so @honest echo It's impossible for me to uninstall. It says that the intaller is already running. I'm stuck
@ember lily try to restart your PC and try again, maybe some ghost process still running
okay, ill let you know
How can I transfer scenes from one profile to another
@honest echo do you want me to reopen the application? and the installer is gone from my pin bar. It wants to update again
@wheat atlas For the best OBS support, please join their Official Discord @ discord.gg/obsproject
@honest echo i think it works now, Thank you!!
hi, i set up my alerts within streamelements. i streamed today and all the alerts worked except for the host alert. i checked while i was live and the alert for hosts was checked meaning it shouldve worked too.
@sharp parcel 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.
thank you!
I am having trouble with my overlay alert sounds. When I'm streaming my alert sounds will either play again 30 seconds after, 1 second after, or on top of each other. It doesn't happen when testing the sounds, it only happens when I'm streaming. I've gone through and removed the extra browser sources to see if that would fix it, and I've even checked to disable it while not on scene. I've also now tried making the alerts it's own overlay.
hi , i have a problem that the bitrate is not getting higher than 4000 and it fluctuates too much , my upload speed is 20 mb/s
@stone pier Right click on the BrowserSource > Properties > Scroll down a bit > Refresh Cache of current page
@patent pawn 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.
Already have done that, it's still happening
Have you tried removing all browser sources
and readding them?
specifically the one with the alerts?
Hi there, is there a developer from StreamElements who can help me?
My main problem is the widget animations (fadein, fadeout, bouncein, etc) not working at all. Neither in my browsers, neither in OBS. Reinstalled both but the issue is still the same. Maybe the issue is with the javascript or someting? from a different webpage the animations work perfectly fine.
Maybe the video below will explain better.
https://youtu.be/w39iBmgGQdQ
I just want some cool nice transitions like, fadein-out or bouncein-out between my social links or in my rotating feed (like te green arrow below). But insted i just got "raw cuts" or a "slideshow" which is not looking really good
Is the top rotating widget from Alpha gaming?
yes
Then its a custom widget
meaning you will have to report the issue with them
to take a look at the animation code
I don't recognize the one on the left
But if its a custom widget as well, then its best to contact the creator of the widget
I assume the 2 green arrows is the working animations, correct?
@odd kraken ⤴️
if i check the urls from my phone it is working fine
both alpha gaming and the social media rotator as well
As mentioned its best the creator of the custom widgets to take a look.
My only suggestion would be to try this:
!accel
OBS -> settings -> advanced -> scroll down -> enable/disable hardware accel.
https://i.imgur.com/ggMe9ZE.png
but i don't think it will help
it is enabled already
let me try what happens if i turn off
@shy mountain unfortunately nothing changed :\
Then you need to speak with the creators of the widgets.
alright, will write to them 🙂 thank you
@vestal otter try this: https://discordapp.com/channels/141203863863558144/199460642975907840/590167198891507715
I am missing a lot of options on the SE website and my alert box is being cut off does anyone know how to fix any of this?
@cobalt marten 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
@odd kraken hi Benno, i dont think it is a twitch related issue
the bot section or setup also does not come up?
@vestal otter Yes, the link is an explanation, how to enable the animations in windows 10.
so not really a problem with obslive but a problem with Ground Control, the option to change my bot username doesnt appear in ground control and only appears in obslive
@torpid prawn 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.
when will i be able to use the bot rename on ground control?
I will ask staff to enable it for you.
sounds good, thank you
Restart GroundControl and the rename option should be available.
yup works fine thank you guys
hey whenever i hover over a youtube link in my chat it says something went wrong and i cant preview it

@trim kettle https://discordapp.com/channels/141203863863558144/494513233416421386/649491105951252480
thx
Maybe someone can help me with my custom bot name problem? I asked yesterday, but its still not working for me. I've tried the video and also a complete reinstall, but it wont work for me.
For Ground control or OBS.live?
in OBS.live
so you connect the bot name but it doesn't show up?
Yes
- 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
add a space before the --
👍
Can I delete the custom debugging port or can I leave it there?
guys, i've recorded a 2h session (still recording) but how do i save it on obs?
just click stop recording saves it automatically?
@strange moth you can remove it
@worn spoke you can't start recording without having a save path already placed in the settings
have a recording path
yes
I was wondering why emotes from kappagen weren't showing up on preview. I saved my settings, copied URL, and put it as web source but emotes don't seem to show up. I'm using streamlabs atm
@oblique cargo 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.
@dark wasp settings -> stream -> disconnect -> connect
Another bot question: Is the custom bot name only active, if i'm running the programm? And if its so, is there a possibility that it can also run, when obs.live is not running?
yes and no
Ok, thanks!
I dont know if this is the right channel but I am having problems with the bot modules. The messages wont save what I want them to say and keep disabling when I tab over to edit another subject, ie tips disabling when I click over to edit cheers
Just refresh @pale ravine and you should see your changes saved, it's just something that happens when tabbing left and right through the options. As long as you see the "Saved" on the top right, you're good.
Alright, thanks @grizzled marsh
is there a way i can have both twitch and youtube alerts at the same time?
i use ReStream so i kinda need to
not possible, you can only get the alerts from the account you are logged in to
damn ok
My media request on OBSlive doesn't work, is there a way to fix it?
@fluid sequoia Streamelements on top of OBS -> Logout -> login
ohh that fixed it, thank you ❤️
how to add overlay for alerts video
how do i put sponsors for my stream
@plush pendant 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
@wooden granite Can you elaborate?
hi I am just learning how to do scene overlays using Streamelements. I have hotkeys all set up in OBS and have tested that it works. However when it is live on FB, the scene does not switch although I see it being switched on OBS...did I miss something?

Yes I did all of that
and when switching scenes, it also works on OBS Live but the scene does not switch on FB
Wrong chat
After connecting my custom bot account, nothing on this page changes. The custom bot name wont work. This is using the activity feed built directly into OBS Live. It works fine when I download the Ground Control application, but I would like to be able to do it all in OBS Live.
can anyone help me with the bot as well
im using obslive
same @austere quest
i log in and nothing happens
Hey guys, a few moments ago i was streaming and i received a donation, but i just recived my stream report and says "No Revenue during this stream"
is the donation in your activity feed? @rugged quail
same @austere quest
@winged furnace asking around for both of you
@wary dew No
did the bot announce the donation or the user?
yes both
that is highly unlikely because if the bot announced it, it would also show on your activity feed
how was the donation made? credit card? paypal?
if it was this one
you got trolled
thank you!
Hey anyome knows how to steam at 60 fps while playing at 120 or above fps

@rugged quail yes, that is just the user typing/me donated x amount
Why ????
@rugged quail he was not talking to you 😛
@wary dew Thanks Man
Hello everyone.
How do people send a paid media request with stream elements? I'm already using the media request and etc.
The option to send media is already set to "both" but by typing !songrequest it will only send the free media
they have to use the tipping link for a paid song request
How to stream at 60 fps while playing at more than 120 fps ???????????????????
Thanks @wary dew I was wondering that 🙂
@rugged quail For the best OBS support, please join their Official Discord @ discord.gg/obsproject
Thank you @wary dew Been experiencing this for a while but have been unable to get a response about it
apologies if im in the wrong channel but does SE have a follow bot
A follow bot? Like welcoming new followers? Which platform are you on?
obs live?
I mean Twitch/YouTube/Etc
Ohh, no. There is not StreamElements/Discord integrations just yet.
so when one of my followes goes live it will post
But if you join me in #general-chat I might know a way to accomplish it.
Hey! I'm looking to get a 'requests open\closed' box on my streamelements overlay (I'm using obs and obs.live). Can you help me?
hello?
Hi

No
