Delete that source and add it again with the correct dimensions. @wintry cloak
Deleted, added with correct dimensions and still no image, though the words at least aren’t cut off
Try to enable/disable Hardware accell.
only some alerts do not work?
Donations worked once but then hasn’t worked since
I saw everything perfectly, but then I tried the tip event again and no image
@wintry cloak Right click on the BrowserSource > Properties > Scroll down a bit > Refresh Cache of current page
I am gonna ask internally on your issue.
Thank you! I appreciate your help!
Hey all - I've been trying to use obs.live. I've tried reinstalling it a couple of times but the problem is I get a bunch of visual artifacts on the streamelements plugin windows. Any suggestions?
@tepid temple Please follow these steps:
close OBS,
open the Nvidia Control Panel,
in the left menu select "manage 3D settings" and then under the list of options (right panel) press "restore default settings",
Start OBS again.
I love you Support AI. Now to figure out what nvidia option is causing this 😦
It worked though
@wintry cloak If you add an image soure to that overlay, does it show?
yes.
@wintry cloak can you press windows+R
paste and search this
%APPDATA%\obs-studio\basic\scenes
then DM me the .json file
thx
no problem! I tried to dm but it posted here
no worries, i got it, let me just look through
Alrighty, Thank you so much for your help!
Just download and install the plug in I’m assuming
@sly delta through scripts, yes
@wintry cloak could you emulate an event for me quickly please, anything will do
Send you a picture of it?
did you get just text or a picture also?
Just text, and the text was there for about 15 seconds or so
ok, and the same with that one? only text?
Actually text is there for about 30 seconds, yes
should there be any images on those alerts?
hmm ok, im going to get the bot to send you something, please DM me the link

how do I move the obs live to a different moniter?
it always opens up and stays on the same one and I cant move it
Uh, that's weird. You should be able to? Click the middle button so it isn't maximized, drag it over?
Why is it doing that and how do I fix it?
im guessing the overlay?
settings > video
set base canvas to 1920x1080
Sorry, yes, the overlay. Thanks.
ok :)
Hello, I have a problem with my obs.live, the transmission chat says "error loading data" can someone help me please?
@alpine sun Streamelements on top of OBS -> Logout -> login
Thx ❤️
Any idea why I would have worse performance than in slobs? This seems so much less resource intensive but I get insane dropped frames
guys, do someone know what is the best setting for obs amd for streaming warzone?
@hidden jackal 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 
How do I fix a grainy webcam? I am trying to setup my webcam and there seems to be static or grain to it.
@tribal merlin For the best OBS support, please join their Official Discord @ discord.gg/obsproject
is there a way to have the media request widget default to "On". a restart turns it off and makes me need to turn it back on.
Hello! Apologies if this has been asked before, but I could not find something similar from a quick search.
I am trying to configure the bot for moderation. Right now it is timing out the user that posted a link, but is not giving them the reason. It also deletes all their previous messages. Is there a way to configure it to delete just the message with the link? Thank you!
@timber depot it should only timeout for 1 sec on first offense then 500 secs timeout for the next offense. when a user is timed out it deletes all messages in chat from that user
deleting all messages on timeout is a twitch thing.
@timber depot No, the bot can only time people out and there is no message from the bot in chat when it does.
Thank you!
its suppose to provide a message telling them why they got timed out
like how my question got ignored though. gg
Does someone know how to set up the panel where it allows me to change my Twitch description & stuff?
@heavy blade 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
@obsidian cradle I do have the message, but I am the only one seeing it. The user themselves only sees their messages deleted and no indication why.
@timber depot it should tell them in chat. not by whisper
This is not correct, this message is only visible for mods and the broadcaster.
@odd kraken this is more like what seems to be happening and was wondering if this is normal.
yes, this is intended behaviour.
Great, thank you.
@obsidian cradle The settings in the media request section should stay after a change or reload of the page.
they don't, i click "Show on stream" refresh and it is off again.
Ok, the show on stream action has to be hit every time, the page is reloaded, yes.
i don't want to turn it on manually for every stream. i want it on all the time
Not possible from what I know. At the beginning you would need to press the button, as the overlay is then active.
StreamElements > Activity feed.
hi im having a problem with obs, i have media request enabled but whenever i click "show on stream" double audio plays
@visual gust 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
Unfortunately there is no OBS.Live plug-in for macOS

Should alerts be on the scene overlay or as a separate element? I'm having an issue where if i place it on the scene overlay the audio plays about 4 times
Whatever works best for you but the beauty of StreamElements is that it can all be one browser source. However, it really should not be playing four times.
its as if its delayed in playing on each scene. It's a nerdordie alert so im on support with them
@crystal cypress Be sure that in all your scenes that you have a StreamElements overlay that "shut down when not in use" is checked in the properties.
Crossposting to this channel to incase helpdesk-twtich is wrong place:
I saw another question above about something similar but going to ask since it didn't seem resolved. !kappagen is only kinda working for me. Regardless of the number I put it always only sends 1 to screen. e.g. !kappagen musicNote 50 ... am I doing something wrong?
im having issues getting my custom overlays from streamlabs to transfer over
@grizzled marsh but then when you switch scene, you have that awkward, black screen waiting for the scene to load up

Any tutorial on how points work for the duel command ?
Hello, I'm pretty much stuck here for the past few minutes
I'm importing from StreamslabsOBS
@slate valve looks like it is done, so I would just "X" out and check to see if everything is there
I am unfortunately not familiar with this issue, but there are two things I would try before going too far.
- Run it with SLOBS open.
- Run it with SLOBS closed.
If still erroring, close both, run OBS as admin and try again. Even a computer restart can help sometimes
Good day! I want to ask about animated theme preset. It is not animated both in my OBS and stream, but in preview it works. I am using Mac and I have copied the URL to the browser in OBS. Do anyone have any idea? Thanks
OBS on Mac may have issues rendering our animated themes
and I would recommend using the static variant
@slate valve It can fail due to:
- Copyrighted assets from SL
- Media assets being over 100MB
- OBS sources that cannot be converted into overlay items, such as standalone music/sound bites
oh alr. thats unfortunate. ty btw
alright copy that. I thought this was probably the cause. Thanks a lot!
hello . where is the viewer count toggle ?
Activity feed dock -> 3 lined button on the top left -> Stream settings -> toggle
Hey team!
I am a current long term Streamlabs user looking to move to SE due to the advanced functionality that is provided. Can I please ask some questions around the programs and features?
Activity feed dock -> 3 lined button on the top left -> Stream settings -> toggle
@shy mountain its not here
The viewer count is only available for Twitch users
Facebook doesn't provide the viewer count via their API so we are not able to show it
oww i see . thank you 🙂
@tranquil shell Yes
@shy mountain want me to drop them here or are you available to DM? 🙂
Its best here
Okay great!
Streamlabs has a system where by you pay a yearly subscription and get access to a custom website etc, does SE have any similar paid features etc.
Does SE have the ability to make Stickers and accessories through it's merch store?
Can I set elements in OBS live to cover one entire side of the screen?
-
We are 100% free service. Everyone gets the same thing. Only different is our Dreamteam members receive some additional perks, but thats about it.
-
I would suggest to check our FAQ here: https://support.streamelements.com/hc/en-us/articles/360011391080-SE-Merch-FAQ - it has all the items listed and anything that is not listed is not available or it might already be planned
-
I'm not sure what you mean by that.
Can I have the chat bar run all the way down the side rather than be confined to the top 2/3rds
you can do this if you wanted to
or
have the bottom row of docks be as small as possible and this is the maximum you can have it
or you can undock the chat dock and stretch
but thats about it
Okay! How do I remove entire windows from that display? 🙂
View on top -> docks -> start unticking the docks
but i would not recommend it cuz you will loose the scenes and start/stop streaming buttons
I want to remove media request actually
Streamelements on top -> media reqeust or the X button on the dock
Any way to change the colour of the activity feed section?
only from dark mode to white mode and vise versa
any functionality of moving the viewer count from activity feed to anywhere else? 🙂
No - the viewer count is bound to our docks
You can connect your account directly into OBS and have the Twitch stats dock open
this little thingy
Okay sweet. Being in Australia is there any disadvantage to me currency wise? Can I set tipping to AUD?

Is there any way to change the thumbnails on your own widgets and overlays?
nope, but there is an idea somewhere on the ideasboard for it
3 dots -> properties -> set a game
Hello everyone. Is there a way to selectively record on OBS.Live? As in select which overlays/sources end up in the recording and which don't (akin to slobs)
Afaik, that is nothing OBS Studio is offering.
Oh. Shame, it's a very handy function
Anyone got time to help me with Media Request pls i got my overlay done . when i put it into my overlay dose it go under browser source?
@drifting patrol 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
Okay great! Is there a page link I can send my moderators so they know what all of the chat bot commands are?

Hello, I have a problem uploading a video as a notification alert. When I upload it, it is not lagged, but as soon as I make adjustments and change the site its starts to lag a lot in the OBS but not on the Streamelements website. I already tried to compress the video or export it in another format but that always happens to me. Is it a problem with my OBS? Thank you very much.
@formal folio I would suggest to convert it to .webm file and then upload
and then try this:
!accel
OBS -> settings -> advanced -> scroll down -> enable/disable hardware accel.

Does OBS.live have an Undo function when editing overlays?
In SLOBS you can undo placements and transform actions on sources etc., can't seem to find it in .live
For sources and such, im not sure, but since you said editing overlays, the built in overlay editor has all the functions of the overlay editor from the dashboard
I mean inside of OBS.live itself. I prefer to edit overlays in the program rather than website
I put my overlay together in OBS live, not the streamelements website editor.
I don't understand where you are seeing streamlabs in the video I just showed you
I recently transitioned from SLOBS and was therefore under the impression that I could do the same here, in-program
typo
Here are all my elements. Inside of OBS. Let's say I move one of them, and don't like its position and want to have it back
In SLOBS, I could just hit ctrl+z
And it would put it back the way it was. There was basically a "history state" within OBS itself
Thats an OBS feature then, as OBS.Live is a plugin for OBS Studio.
@sage wedge For the best OBS support, please join their Official Discord @ discord.gg/obsproject

How exactly does the chat stats function work? I go to it and it says 404 error
@tranquil shell If you changed your name on Twitch please follow these steps:
🔹 Visit https://streamelements.com/logout and then log in again with by connecting with Twitch.
🔹 On the right side of the dashboard page that opens, select "Join" under bot settings. If it says "Part" select that and then select "Join" to send the bot to the chat. Don't forget to mod the bot by typing /mod streamelements in your channel if you have not already.
🔹 Post your old and your new name here so that we can update your channel's chatstats tracking (must be done by staff).
Will doing this keep all of my commands intact?
I believe my old username was MaxPanda_ and my new one is just MaxPanda
yes it only changes your username
@tranquil shell done
Danke
Excuse me, I need help with trying to upload a specific file for an alert variation. It says that one of the acceptable formats are .gif files, but I can't find the file when searching for it to upload, I've tried to drag it in while finding it through my file explorer but it still won't take the file. I don't know how to get it to take the file
When setting an image or video, make sure you click on the right option. If its an image/gif click "change/set image"
if its a video "change/set video"
Ah I got it, thank you!
Hi, I launched the program and was prompted to update, I did, and now when I launch it I am greeted by a white preview screen. nothing shows up there at all, not even that annoying prompt to link youtube and twitch or whatever
Is there any way to update my username on SE? It displays as maxpanda everywhere but it is meant to be capitalised as MaxPanda
can u try to reinstall it monmaker? probably a bad update happnened
will that reset my scenes and stuff?
could, i recommend first backup your profile and scene collection in the top menu
How do I do that?
can you try relogging first?
Streamelements on top of OBS -> Logout -> login
hm, i think he is not even logged @lilac ocean as he said the buttons for logging in not even showing
It says login, but when I click it, nothing happens
is there a way to hotkey start/pause media request ?
Looks like there is a slight loading circle in the white area, then it goes right back to white
is there a way to hotkey start/pause media request ?
@maiden horizon yep in the obs settings go into hotkeys and there should be hotkeys for pause mute unpause voluume up and down
@safe knoll ill ask around about this first before you reinstall straight away
ok
Is there any way to update my username on SE? It displays as maxpanda everywhere but it is meant to be capitalised as MaxPanda
@karmic grotto is the media request audio coming from the browser? so i just mute the audio in the browser? I cant pause and unpause the actual media request like clicking the button in OBS.live?
can you try, View > Reset UI @safe knoll
doesn't change anything
alright, was worth the try, im waiting on an answer in the mean time
@karmic grotto is the media request audio coming from the browser? so i just mute the audio in the browser? I cant pause and unpause the actual media request like clicking the button in OBS.live?
@maiden horizon if u use it in browser it will come from the browser, i recommend using the one inside obslive
So, it looks like it works just fine if I switch it to OBS Studio, it's just when trying to use OBS live that it gives me trouble
also u need to use the obslive MR if u want to use hotkeys
what is obslive MR?
Mediarequest
oh ok, yes i use the one in obs.live
i just can figure out how to hot key it
i know how to use the hotkey settings, i just dont see any about media request
use the StreamElements -> Report an Issue feature in OBS.Live so that staff can properly look into it please @safe knoll
It's been a known issue with OBS.Live
i found the hotkeys... i was looking in the OBS settings, I found the Media Request settings - hotkeys
good day
i have a custom alert i made on another webiste how do i add the alerts with a url i was provided with
i made it with muxy
@rugged quail The default resolution for StreamElements overlays (theme and custom) is 1920x1080. Please add them in OBS at their full resolution and use CTRL+F to fit to screen if necessary. You can then downscale your stream in OBS settings > Video if you'd like https://i.imgur.com/6bWXxjR.png
Is there any way to update my username on SE? It displays as maxpanda everywhere but it is meant to be capitalised as MaxPanda
I'm not familiar with Muxy, but if you put the URL in that highlighted area it should show that source. (if you have HTML/CSS/JS code then it is a different setup)
it does have css code
It is linked to your log in account @tranquil shell .... I'm guessing your Twitch name is lowercase
Yes my twitch name is lowercase and my twitch displayname is uppercase
i'm honestly not sure there is.... i can see your Discord connection and even that is lowercase. I'm guess that S.E. along with many other places is grabbing your twitch 'username' (also lowercase) instead of the 'display name'
ahh that's unfortunate! 😦
Another question, are alertbox settings global. IE, should I be setting up one master alert box and adding that to my overlays or doing it one by one?
where exactly is your name lowercase that you would want for it to be 'Display Name' ?
on my main profile
I personally (and i'm not great with OBS) just have 1 master alert box. Then I copy that to other scenes.
It flows through to tip page etc
your tipping page looks correct to me:
Maybe I did something, I don't even know anymore. Thanks for helping anyway! 🙂
Is it possible to group overlays?
Hi, I need help if possible with working something out. I just become a affiliate so decided to buy a pc to be able to put overlays on top of the stream.
I have got most things working I think, but when I copy my overlay url (from streamelements) into my obs, I add a browser source to my scene, paste the url, click on shutdown when not visible, and set dimensions to 1920 1080.
And for some reason when I click accept, I doesn't show anything on screen, just the box outline, no overlay, alert sound or anything.
Could someone possibly help me find out what I'm doing wrong, and what I can do to fix it ASAP, as I had my very first subscriber last stream, and missed him even doing it for the first 10 mins because I had no notification to the stream atall, not even a chat bot
Congrats on the affiliate! ... i am not great with OBS, but what you have said so far is correct. Are you using the 'Alert Box'? and when you go to the overlay editor you should see a 'show love on stream' option in the emulate menu. Can you post a screen shot of what you see in OBS; i'll grab one of my newb setup
Thanks alot! It's all exciting but now it needs to be professional lol. Yes I have that on here, just getting it up to take a pic of
that is correct. on the overlay editor; when you click a "follow" or "sub" event they pop up?
🙂 and good blackout with the URL
Hello, I wanted to upload a soung file that is .ogg. As screenshot says, it should be supported, but I try to upload it there is an error. So I looked up at network and in network the response is: 415 - Unsupported Media Type.
ill ask around for you @dense helm
I think converting it to .wav may help
I know, but the thing is it shouldn't be there as supported you know. It could lead to confusion for somebody wondering why the hell it is not uploading.
Are you using Chrome?
Firefox
Yes they pop up on screen there, but that's as far as they get, will it have something to do with the fact that my actual gameplay capture is through a ps4 remote play window, I have took a quick screen record to show it all, but I wouldn't be comfortable sharing on a open channel @distant breach
I understand @unreal eagle, I'm going to pass along to someone with more experience with OBS
@unreal eagle Do you have your Overlay Source above your Game Capture in OBS?
@distant breach thanks!! Amazing fast responses 👌🏻 @dry sphinx yes, I made it to be on top of everything
Vivaldi prob more Chromium than Firefox. I never used Vivaldi but glad it works 
@unreal eagle So just to be sure when you do a test alert: It only shows up in the Editor & not in OBS?
@dry sphinx no it doesn't show up atall in obs, I just tried again 😭
Do you have the Overlay dimensions set to 1920x1080 in OBS & is Hardware acceleration turned off in OBS @unreal eagle ?
Can you group overlays? 😦
@dry sphinx where do I find hardware acceleration? And by having them set in obs, I think so, when i click add source, browser etc in obs, then paste url, direct underneath I put the dimensions
@unreal eagle OBS -> settings -> advanced -> scroll down -> enable/disable hardware accel.
https://i.imgur.com/ggMe9ZE.png
Ooo okay!! Found it! It's on, so I need to turn it off correct? I feel like I sound so dumb but I'm brand new to pc within the past week
@dry sphinx omg, you fixed it, straight away!!! Thank you so much!❤️

Hello all. I can't seem to get the OBS.Live Media Request DOCK to show in my obs, any ideas? I recall it being there when I was setting it up but can no longer see it. The option to add it into my docks also isn't there.
It looks amazing now! Thanks to you my stream can finally start to come together and look professional
You prob just have to sign out of OBS.Live & sign back in @shy kestrel
Glad it's working now, Ravenn.

yooo i need help i switched my account on obs.live but my activity feed and chat is still stuck on my old account any way how to fix this ?
@dry sphinx I'll give it a bash later, thanks.
Can you group overlays? 😦
Hello everyone, I have a question... sometimes I have to restart OBS a bunch before the sreamelements widgets load in, is there a reason for this?
Overlays in the stream elements editor
you can group layers
Yes but i want to be able to group the actual overlays themselves
Otherwise im stuck assigning them games to remember whats what
Is that a feature coming? :/
Link me? 🙂
I'm trying to add sources to my scene and though the sources appear in the window, I am not able to see them as visible under sources, even though when I added them, I had "Make source visible" checked.
yooo i need help i switched my account on obs.live but my activity feed and chat is still stuck on my old account any way how to fix this ?
@blazing brook anyone ?
nvm fixed
anyone know why stream elements timers arent working no matter what i do?
hello, any idea why tips seem to be taking a hard priority over recent bits in the event list? is it maybe because the tips had to be imported?
Hiii !! I have a little problem... OBS Live is at 70% of my CPU, and I just can't reduce that... :/
Using the Stream Elements Editor. I'm trying to put text over an image but I do not see that option anywhere. The order of layers in the edit section on the left is set to have the text on top of the layer I'm placing it in front of. However, no matter what I do it hides behind the image. Any thoughts?
@rugged quail 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+)
please give me one of those
screenshot the cpu percentage as well
and check the following:
@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
^shutdown source when not visible should be checked
How do I get access to my twitch docks (eg Quick Actions) because since I've installed OBSLive it just tells me "Access Denied"
@dry dock Streamelements on top of OBS -> Logout -> login
Didn't work
I just changed my profile pic on twitch, and my hypecup follower coins inside have nothing but a green square now...any ideas?
@dark quail Please logout of StreamElements at https://streamelements.com/logout and then login again to your account (Twitch/Youtube/Facebook/Mixer)
Hello, I have a question (With the media request). If someone puts a song with the media request page will I get flagged with a copyright strike?
That didn't work 😦
Hello, I have a question (With the media request). If someone puts a song with the media request page will I get flagged with a copyright strike?
@topaz shadow that could very well be the case yes
unless it's copyright free music
but i doubt that 😛
Ok thank you 👍
Im missing most of the options on the dashboard like chat commands and whatnot is it because i logged in with facebook?
dang yeah thats what ive been figuring out unfortunately

You prob just have to sign out of OBS.Live & sign back in @shy kestrel
@dry sphinx When you say signing out of OBS live, do you mean on the website or obs live? cos I signed out of OBS live on the app and the media request dock still is not available
hi i need help with the width and height for a overlay

Trying to Import from Streamlabs onto OBS using OBS.Live plugin and it gets stuck at this every time. it's been like this for about an hour!
Would love some help/suggestions
Even does it when I don't select import alertbox
be sure that you dont have any slobs copyrighted stuff in there
we cant import that
also files cant be bigger than 30mb
When I get bits, my tts doesn’t always work. It worked with the 200 bits but everything under didn’t get a tts noti. The sound effect worked tho
Check your variations.
Have you checked the TTS activation amount in the TTS settings?
Set it to 0 and try again.
You can replay the event in the activity feed, which did not get the TTS.
what are the dimension of the default cups?

@hardy gull there isn't a dimension at all as the cup can be moved in the "box"

Hi, I was trying to stream destiny 2 and the game capture was a black screen. How do I fix this?
by using a window capture
and/or checking the game capture settings
D2 doesn't allow game capture
did it?
still not fixed huh
ok thanks for the help!
@lilac ocean how do I check that? And why does it get stuck on importing alerts when I can just browser source them anyway?
Also I haven't even got alerts checked and it still imports them
Hey boys. Annoying mapppi back at it again
Still can't find the Media Request Dock. info on it, relating specifically to that OBS live DOCK is also sparse.
media request is in the Streamelements menu
Check the stream elements menu
I'm so sorry. wtf I'm so dumb. Why did I not see that 
all good 👍
Hi. Does the amount of different scenes in OBS effect the performence of my PC?
e.g more PC takes more perforemce
scenes, no.
sources (and more importantly sources on in the background (ie browser sources not set to shutdown)) yes
so filled scenes with sources yes then
Is it just browser sourecs I need to check the shutdown option or something more?
so does anyone know what the actual numbers in the wireframe for the cup reference so i can properly mod them?
@hardy gull https://overlays.thefyrewire.com/tools/pype/
@honest echo it doesnt seem to do anything? i open the image and all i can do is change the color of a square
got it, it doesnt work in chrome, thanks for the link!
To use the Banned Words list do I have to manually add the words I want blocked? Or if I enable minimum/medium level of protection, will it automatically ban the most common words for me?

Hi, I'm having OBSLINK to elgato hd60s mac audio issues
Can anyone please help me ASAP
Any guides on adding stream layouts?
I have been using browser source hardware acceleration, but now the browser source is only showing a black screen. Audio is fine. Turning off HW acceleration in OBS fixes it, but makes the source stutter (which is why I had enabled it). The only thing I can think of is I recently updated my Nvidia drivers and Chrome. Any ideas?
so filled scenes with sources yes then
@dim gyro it depends..
you can have 200 sources, but while managed well, can take little performance.
if you leave them all enabled.. ofcourse. that'll hurt
Hey guys! I'm working on my stream layout using the editor and I can't figure out how to add links to my social icons
yeh me either Bizzarleymarlee
its like...why have the text there when it doesn't do anything
@urban quail @rugged flint Do you guys mean the overlays? if so, you can change the text, click on the label and then go to settings
Hey guys! I'm working on my stream layout using the editor and I can't figure out how to add links to my social icons
@urban quail it's static.
they can't click your overlay
yeh that is what i'm tryin to figure out, no youtube video on it, so I just remove youtube and add text with my channel url? https://streamelements.com/overlay/5ef7ecac8f6e620c03d747a8/Vc3gned2wlp34IclT17PCLa92ZPEjDQ3wJzen_GdEHVRY4NS
again, it's static.
seems rough because i can't resize the overlay graphics
they wont be able to click it, if you think that's the case.
ok so basically put the handle names in there
Yes 🙂
ok one last question...i can use normal obs to alt+click to move a border to crop or expand it. obs live doesn't seem to recognize that. is there some other shortcut?
alt hold 🙂
How do i add a custom overlay that i made in Photoshop to my stream elements dashboard?
ok
One more question can you get rid of the frame around the countdown timer?
Or change the color?
it does when i add it...its grey
ohhh im dumb sry
someone can help me? how i paste my overlay on OBS?
@slender lion 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
ohhh im dumb sry
@gilded stream it happens to the best of us
So i just downloaded this program after slobs messed with me. I have some nerd or die panels. Do i have to edit every single one of those scenes in the editor to take out all the stuff i dont want, then paste the url?
Anybody know how to fix this. When ever I press start streaming it says failed to connect to server. Address not available
@drowsy kestrel Streamelements on top of OBS -> Logout -> login
i wish it was as easy as one click. Setting up my stream in this program looks way more complicated than slobs.
It didnt work
@drowsy kestrel check here
Its on auto rn
@ashen zealot better ask to NoD but once you have it on your overlay page just add it to OBS
@ashen zealot 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
@drowsy kestrel disconnect your account and connect it again
This is what pops up
General tab and scroll to bottom.
Ok then what
There should be a bind to IP option or something similar. Disable that or set to default
I dont see it anywhere
Can i add audio to my stinger transition?
Hello is there a software based Multistream like streamlabs obs but it streams to twith and youtube at the same time and not Facebook
Also does it have the ability to seperate a discord chat from desktop audio without third party software

I was hoping a non third party option so i'll thake that as a no
anyone have a elgato stream deck... Im not able to install the streamelements obs.live plugin...
Hi I have a small problem, I cant add a browsersource on obs streamelement can someone help me pls ?
When i use display capture it wont let me record my screen
I was hoping a non third party option so i'll thake that as a no
@hushed nymph I mean, there's a plugin..
When i use display capture it wont let me record my screen
@rugged quail some games do that. What game are you trying?
^ 🙂
oh no
there's a new one @karmic grotto
This is a plugin to streaming to multiple RTMP servers concurrently.
It's able to share encoders with main output of OBS to save CPU power.
It can also use standalone encoders with basic configuration (bitrate)
Current release comes with...
🙂
sorry sir
That one was the old one yeah, no worries, this one you can add multiple rmtp urls for multi streams, from within OBS
i was trying to find that one, but idk why the search didn't found it :/
@hushed nymph https://canary.discordapp.com/channels/141203863863558144/494513233416421386/726694174123884636 see this one
Yes Thanks
1: that's a browser game
2: you can't game capture, browser games.
3: use window capture. @rugged quail
i used display capture
that will capture your entire screen, and if for some reason you open up a photo of your credit card, boom :/ better use window capture for preventing mistakes @rugged quail
lol
How come when I use display capture it doesn’t work?
I use window capture now btw
Just wondering
I used it to record google chrome
do you get a black window from chrome?
Yeah
you already posted it there
@sage river overlay general should be fine here
welp
@wary dew says no 😛
@rugged quail chrome sometimes does this, i don't know exactly why, but the latest 25.0.x OBS should've fixed this
Oh
will it show my subscriber count once I start streaming?
@sage river stick to #helpdesk-youtube
kk
yeah as per 25.0:
By default, it will use "Automatic", which will use the normal method on most windows, and the new method on browsers, browser-based windows, and Microsoft Store (UWP) programs
The downside of the new method is that it can cause a bit of cursor lag, as well as a highlighted border around the captured window. The border itself does not get captured, however.
You can choose which capture method to use in window capture properties```
WHY DOESNT OBS LIVE HAVE A UNDO FEATURE I JUST ACCIDENTLY DELETED A WHOLE SCENE WHEN I WANTED TO DELETE A SOURCE!!!!!
it seems your caps button is also broken
A WHOLE HOUR WORTH OF WORK GONE IN A INSTANT
do you have a cloud backup?
I DONT KNOW I JUST STARTED USING OBS LIVE AFTER SWAPPING FROM SLOBS KINDA REGRETTING IT NOW
stop using caps
did you import all the scenes from slobs?
there is an import tool in the StreamElements menu
yes and spent a hour tinkering for obs live cause the import didnt work

why dont you guys have a simple undo button
it's just stock OBS with a plugin, so you would be better off asking in the OBS Discord server
i know things like this are super frustrating, for future reference: it might be useful to make a backup using the cloud backup function after completing a scene.
honestly might just stick to slobs

Hi all, I wonder if anyone can help. I’m trying to add a transparent chat box into my streaming scenes. But I can’t even work out how to add any kind of chat box!
Create an overlay on the website and via the plus, add the your streams chat widget to your overlay and add this to your OBS.
It’s sound so easy it makes me feel dumb XD. Thanks I’ll come back if I get stuck. Is there a way to make the box transparent or will it be bordered?
That would be the background color transparency in the widgets settings.
Oh perfect! Thank you a bunch for taking time to help 🤘🏻
uninstallation taking time
Have you uninstalled OBS Studio before OBS.Live?
yes
Then install OBS Studio again and then uninstall OBS.Live first.
both uninstalled.. re-installing obs studio now :>

hi, i was working on splitting audio and I am using the media request widget in OBS.Live and it doesn't seem to play for the stream
Is there a way to remove mixer from "my channels" on the website
Any help with this? trying to stream marbles on stream and added it as a game capture to my scene through sources but that still continues to feature
@covert acorn Audio mixer setups are a bit too complicated for us to provide assistance with here.
@tough inlet There is no easy way to unlink 2 owner type accounts from each other. The only way is to make a closure request from here: https://streamelements.com/dashboard/account/security
WARNING: In submitting a closure request you will delete both linked accounts and loose all data from both accounts. This includes overlays, custom commands, timers and past data(tips, subs, etc). You can still relogin with the deleted account, but you are essentially starting fresh.
@fickle depot Screenshot your OBS window please.
I tried closing it but nothing is happening
It's not an automatic deletion. It sends a request to the devs for manual deletion.
I see, thanks for confirming
I got the multi RPDM plugin but i don't know how to install it where to i put the Data and OBS-PLUGINS folder or do i Put the dll's and put them in the 64bit folder in the directory

maybe like have a thing showing wat buttones you press or what directions your stick things move in
idk
i play pc
bordeaux btw it no work still looks weird
@ebon rapids Consoles do not have native support for overlays. You would need a capture card and a PC with OBS in order to have Overlays over your console gameplay.
We have an blog post about how to setup console streaming with our essential tools: https://blog.streamelements.com/how-to-stream-on-console-7b620b1c46c3
@leaden kettle can you send a screenshot of it?
what are your resolutions on that within obs?
you can right click on the browser source, then go to the properties
I'll have to ask around about that
ok
Thanks for your response! What is a capture card and does it cost anything?
A capture card is a piece of hardware, so yhea you would have to buy that
most of them are expensive tho
around 180$
a lot
I should rlly just move to pc lol
ye probaly
if you want overlays, yes

on your alert there should be the animation settings that you can change to none
@ornate jay
@lilac heron Under show/hide animation there is no option for none
is this for like a follower alert etc? Cause if it is you clcik the alert box select the alert you want to change by clicking the wheel. After that scroll down the side to animation settings and you can change the animation to none @ornate jay

Hello, anyone wanna help me figure out why streamelements only shows my first available redemption as a video and not any other ones?
using an overlay
only displays the first redemption as a gif+sound but not any of the other ones
what am I doing wrong?
@lilac heron This is the alert box widget
@ornate jay yea so you can just do what I said before to make sure the alerts dont have any additional animations
unless I am misunderstanding what you are trying to do/explain
works with the video
does not work with the video
Ui is the first redemption in the 'store'
if anyone else comes to this for answers. Make sure you have the items you want showed as "stream perks" and not just a sound effect
i accidentally solved this myself
sigh

@lilac heron I don't have any option to not do animation here. Can select none for things like text, but not for the whole alert.
streamlabs obs
ah okay yea you are in streamelements discord, try stream labs discord
sorry if I am in the wrong spot. Im trying to switch stream elements to stream on switch but it keeps making me use youtube. i have both accounts on the website. It lets me put in my stream key and pulls all twitch stuff out but when i hit stream it brings up youtube
@stray wadi Streamelements on top of OBS -> Logout -> login

Hi. So I'm using 2 separate alerts for my overlay. Is there a way to test them both at the same time? I need to make sure they sync properly
You can emulate them on the overlay editor; should see them in OBS
That let's me emulate one but doesn't emulate the second overlay I also have
Are both overlays checked with that button?
They would both be follower, but they are separate overlays since I can't CSS text placement, so I needed a second box to place where I want my text
When you emulate one; everything will emulate at the same time
I think I found the issue. One is through Streamelements and I did the other as an alert box through Streamlabs. Ugh, now I'll have to redoi it
Ahh. yes. that would be an issue as well.
You might be able to import the Alert box here: https://streamelements.com/dashboard/account/import?provider=streamlabs
This worked, however the overlay canvas size isn't correct. Is there a way to change this?
Bless you
For some reason the EXE for OBSLive wont install, any ideas?
You are using windows? and downloaded it from https://www.obs.live/ ? correct
Well, have imported and everything looks good, but the only emulated alert that'll actually work is the follow one. Rest do nothing even though they appear to be set up
try to right-click run as Admin. Which Windows are you using? And post a screenshot of your error please 🙂
Win 10, no error listed, simply wont launch the prog @distant breach even as admin
Are you running any anti virus that might be blocking it? .... this might be a Windows issue.
@distant breach I suspect it is, I will try to disable AV, do I need Firewall down as well?
I just grabbed the .exe package from the website and it boots
shouldn't need firewall down for it to load the main install screen. but if you get errors when it downloads other files, then yes.
@distant breach is the exe launcher CPU intensive?
@ornate jay .... i'm trying to reach out to others that have done an import from SLs and see if maybe there is a quick fix
not to my knowledge on the CPU intensive
I actually figured out what had happened, got it corrected.
Custom CSS was enabled for some reason, disabling worked
Hello, not sure if I'm in the right channel but I'm trying to get one of the alerts to fill up the whole screen 1920 x 1080. Is this possible? And what does Opacity do? I assume it would make your alert transparent but it doesn't seem like it.
First question is yes. Second is also correct Opacity 0-1, 0 being invisible 1 being opaque
For the first, you want to set the 'text over image*' option ** then you'll want to had a 'margin top' to the text .... like 540- 1/2 font size should be close
@distant breach thank you for the reply and the link. I will take a look at it. When I emulate it though, it doesn't seem to centralise it, resize it or show faint opactiy. Not sure if I have to hit save first before checking the emulate. But I looked at your link, there might be some tips there on the margins.
Are you looking on the Website or on OBS (there should be no margins if you are making it full screen)
🙂 perfect.
I'm also using Firefox and I'm wondering if it is the browser that is making it weird.
Generally, Chrome works best. but what you see in OBS is what stream will see
I set up a quick overlay with what I mentioned above and opacity at like 30%; this is what my OBS sees
that 'coral' image is not normally there on the right
Yeah, that looks great. Exactly what I want it to do.
I've got text over image, position and style - 1920 x 1080 px. Opacity 25%. Top and Left O px. However, it is just not doing that. I do have a GIF image though, so I'm not sure if that is also a factor.
So; first question is. do you have the 'custom css' toggled on or off?
oFF
Hello
ok ... phew. that is good.
make sure your alert box is set to full screen dimensions @half reef
I just made my overlay but I dont remember how to add it to obs
@sharp hedge To add your overlays to OBS, add a new browser source in your scene. Paste your overlay URL in the browser source properties, set the dimensions to 1920x1080 (unless you changed them on the website), and ☑ “Shutdown source when not visible” https://youtu.be/KDvLynUqXI4
@distant breach yup, I've got that. No margins also. So I'm going to try to enter on Chrome and see if that makes a difference.
🤞 if it doesn't please share a screen capture
@distant breach thanks for your help though! Really appreciate it 🙂

not a problem 🙂
thank you @steel blade 🙂
in obslive my overlays dont work neither does the alertbox
Do they work on the website editor?
yes the overlays come up and everything but one someone subs it doesent pop up
when you emulate the events on the website do you see them in OBS?
so is it working now @fossil bluff that you are emulating?
yes
🙂
no problem. glad it's working now. happy streaming!
actually one more question how do i change text in overlays
In some of the prebuild ones; it's best to alt-click the field. then you should be able to edit on the left menu
i pressed alt click but theres no thing there for me to change the text
can you post a screen shot?
yup.... just don't show the URL!
click the settings tab at the top
it works
🙂
thanks because it was showing my old yt name
no problem 🙂 i had that same issue making mine hahaha, it's a common thing
@rugged quail did you set the right dimensions?
I guess so, yes.
I think I'm having a similar issue to @fossil bluff, but my alerts aren't showing in OBS when I'm emulating them - and subsequently aren't showing when they're actually triggered. I do have the sound coming through though which is annoying
can you get me a screenshot? @rugged quail
yessir
@hearty bolt OBS -> settings -> advanced -> scroll down -> enable/disable hardware accel.

^try this
@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
you'll have to add the overlay to obs ^
@lilac ocean oddly my version of that jumps straight from Network to Hotkeys - I don't have a panel for Sources.
altohugh I edited it
@rugged quail try editing the actual text and not the layer title
Yes, got it
@lilac ocean oddly my version of that jumps straight from Network to Hotkeys - I don't have a panel for Sources.
@hearty bolt what version from OBS are you on and what version from OBS.Live?
How do I unlock a widget? last question 😄
Running OBS 25.0.8 (mac), which is the latest version, but I haven't got OBS.Live downloaded, just been generating alerts etc through the browser site.
ahh alright, yhea OBS.Live doesnt support Mac indeed, I'll actually have to ask about this then, since i dont have Mac experience
Sorry! Haha. The moment you asked I figured that was going to end up being the issue. It's just annoying that I get the sound alert but not the media/graphic part.
Yhea i can totally relate on how that is annoying, im just going to ask around if we can do something about it 
Beautiful. Thanks @lilac ocean
can you try this for me?
@hearty bolt Right click on the BrowserSource > Properties > Scroll down a bit > Refresh Cache of current page
Still just getting the sound without the alert in emulation
the overlay with the alertbox is above the capture source?
And how can I create a Followers Progress bar, that actually updates itself with my followers count?
Yep, the Alerts Browser Source is at the very top
And how can I create a Followers Progress bar, that actually updates itself with my followers count?
@rugged quail click on the big + button in the overlay editor and type: follow in the search bar
I did add the followers goal bar, but it doesnt work as in updating and stuff.
I currently have 27, it says 24.
@rugged quail To reset goals:
- from the overlay editor -> session data on top right (monitor symbol) -> goals tab -> reset progress of desired goal
- from the dashboard -> activity feed on the left -> widget data on the right -> goals tab -> reset progress of desired goal
Note: Goal widgets(progress) only counts up and doesn't go down automatically, if you loose followers/subs
Last thing you can try is readding the browser source @hearty bolt
Otherwise I'm sorry that I'll have to say we can't help you with the Mac support, you can try in the OBS Discord however, see if they can help you!

No worries, hope it works out for you!
and how do I unlocked a locked widget?
There is a small lock icon behind it in the layers tab
Click that
Or of it's grouped: shift+u
How does one get a twitch stats that I can dock inside OBS Live?
I don't have a twitch stats there :/
Twitch Stats isn't in the list but Stats is
!obscookies
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
try this
ill have to do that after my stream 🙂
Does deleting those cookies erase any of my setups?
no

Hey, is there anyway to change the streamchat on OBS.Live to darkmode?
@glacial moat pinned messages.
Every time I restart OBS Live, I lose my audio input and Video input settings.... Am I misssing something? Can i "save" them some how?
Question about the activity feed... I only see followers; I don't see subs, cheers, raids, etc. All the boxes are checked in the "filter" column. Any suggestions?
