Say the old and new names...
mrzxdk1 > optogaming
@fossil tapir done.
Nice, links working but its the wrong stats.
Is there anyway to fix that?
or do i just have to generete new ones
@fossil tapir since the stats are updated due to user switching, we cannot use the data from both accounts. Then, you must use your account and the stats will be registered correctly from now on.
All good, thank you so much
Can you pick the data from the new one? or only the old one?
anyone know why my overlays all of a sudden wont work at all?
@stable axle 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
@stable axle 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
its not helping
@stable axle OBS -> settings -> advanced -> scroll down -> enable/disable hardware accel.

ayyy its fixed
I need help with my desktop audio and my Elgato audio because they are both going to the elgato and I need help
@willow charm If you are having issues with Elgato hardware or software, we recommend reaching out to their support here: https://e.lga.to/help
Hello! Not sure if this is the right place to ask, please tell me if otherwise, but I've been having a couple trolls that unfollow and immediately follow repeatedly so the alert pops up
How can I prevent this?
I'm trying to add my PS4 audio to OBS but even if i add my capture card as an audio source there's still no audio
@soft yoke For the best OBS support, please join their Official Discord @ discord.gg/obsproject
@toxic fern ty! though isn't there any way to make it so re-follows just don't show up? I remember streamlabs had this option if I'm not mistaken, I know people tried it and it did not work
@severe oyster The system is made to ignore refollows. However, for those who have followed you before you connected with StreamElements, they will be able to unfollow and refollow once to force an alert to appear, but subsequent attempts will not trigger an alert.
That's what I initally thought! However, I've had people do it several times on the same stream
Can you provide a clip of the behavior?
I will clip it next time it happens, but I thought just that when I moved to SE: it'll only work once for people who followed before switching platforms
but I've had the same people do it on several streams, sometimes more than once per stream. They say they just tap the heart icon and the alert just works
If you can provide either a clip of the same person getting two follower alerts, or a screenshot of your activity feed showing the same person following twice, it'd be helpful.
scrolled down my feed because I remember it happened just today: this person followed me
and I remembered he's un-followed then re-followed me several times on stream for the alert to pop up
If you can get them both in one screenshot, that'd be ideal.
they're pretty far apart, let me see if I can make a quick gif out of a video
@tulip hamlet here you go
Thank you. However, my eyes are burning from looking at it, so I've made a dark mode version of it. 😛
I dont have an example right now but I can confirm that I have had a similar issue
Not necessary to provide one. This issue has already been reported in the past and is being looked into.
oh that is great! Good to know
good to know!
Trying to import to obs.live from StreamLabs OBS, but it keeps saying "Failed importing Scene Collection"
Anyone have an idea why?
@karmic monolith The import will fail if you're attempting to import assets that are too large or Streamlabs-owned assets. Also, the import doesn't go directly to OBS.Live, but instead to your account on the site. Make sure that you haven't made a bunch of duplicate entries by repeatedly attempting the import.
I'm curious. I'm not sure if this is the right channel. but ios there a way I can make it so the Mic through obs is not picking up my keyboard typing sounds, sometimes I have to type and I type loud, also you hear my fan humming too. but I cant figure out how to minimize it through OBS. Any ideas on how to do this or what else I could try?
Stream Elements chat does not work. Anyone else have this issue?
@ancient spire Please provide a proper screenshot with the issue visible. If not sure how to take a screenshot, you can check here: https://www.take-a-screenshot.org/
not sure what else to show you as hitting enter does not work, nor does click on the chat icon. I have restarted, refreshed and restarted my computer as well. Nothing...

Hello can help me a peaple?
@burnt locust 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.
Hello everyone. Sorry for my english (google translator). I have been having a problem for a week, after updating obs.live crashes at every startup. And it doesn't display my overlays.
Anyone have a solution?
Are you just getting a black screen for the overlays @boreal rune ?
Hi @distant breach. No, I don't fully upload the link. Now I have solved by reinstalling obs previous version 25.0.4 and the SE plugin, it seems to work, but I'm afraid to close it and restart it 🥴
If it works, it should'nt drop after a restart
pls help

How to I leave this discord
if i choose to rescale output for streaming would i be able to record at 4k and stream at 720?
also is there no way to do a 4k base canvas?
actually nevermind i bet its like slobs where it limits it to the resolution of the monitor not the resolution of the capture device
if i choose to rescale output for streaming would i be able to record at 4k and stream at 720?
@hardy gull of course
also is there no way to do a 4k base canvas?
@hardy gull it should show there just as it show ultrawide
actually nevermind i bet its like slobs where it limits it to the resolution of the monitor not the resolution of the capture device
@hardy gull this ^
while i have you is there any reason why i would notice a more significant stream delay after switching to SE, i dont want to go back, i love the customizable interface so much. i stream to restream
how do i read chat whilst playing a game as i go onto the game and i cant see chat as soon as i do
The start streaming button is forcing youtube on me, when I would instead like to use facebook. It's apparently not as simple as just changing the output because as soon as I click start streaming again it switches everything back to youtube, any clue how to fix this?
Is it possible to mute friends on discord in OBS Streamlabs during stream i cant seem to filter out discord from the audio mixer?
@hardy gull this ^
@karmic grotto you sure?
because you can just enter shit manually 😉
@tender python positive here is the before and after i hooked up my gaming display to my streaming laptop
Can anyone help me please
I can’t even access stream elements website. I just get a white screen
try it in the browser
are you opening it in OBS?
okay
Trying to do a overlay
try it in incognito mode
ctrl + n
Any help with how to mute my friends in discord to the stream while I’m streaming , I wanna hear them but they don’t want the stream to hear them
It’s not working
It's been a while since i've streamed anything, but have changed none of my settings, I can't get obs to pick up any sound. Any ideas?
It's been a while since i've streamed anything, but have changed none of my settings, I can't get obs to pick up any sound. Any ideas?
@cosmic sedge check the sound settings.
I've checked everywhere I could and made sure it's set to what I use for sound. Nothing seems to be working. I'm quite baffled
Picks up mic, but no desktop, game, music, etc.
That's desktop sound issues; which in return leads to setting(s).
Either windows default audio and/or OBS
Has anyone else got any ideas on how I can load the website?
Tried incognito
Didn’t work
Try a different browser.
or your phone
if that works: it's your pc.
if it doesnt (and assuming you're on wifi)
it's your network.
I can get on it on my phone
Not my pc..
So it must be my pc is there anything I can do
to do whawt
Get on the website
What will this do?
have you clicked the link ?
Flushing the DNS resolver cache can help resolve DNS related problems in Microsoft Windows 10. Issues would include web site not found errors or not being able to view certain web pages that have changed
Then it's something i can't put my finger on and I assume something's borked on your PC's end.

Hey guys, I need some help. My overlay scenes aren't loading. They worked yesterday and today suddenly their broken
I tried deleting it and replacing it with a new link, but the new link isn't showing up in preview. I click the button to view it in the overlay editor, and it says invalid token

Hi guys, I've got an HD60S+ and there's a delay between game audio and game video (audio is behind) while streaming, recording using Stream Elements OBS? Can anyone help please?
@obtuse spade For the best OBS support, please join their Official Discord @ discord.gg/obsproject
best would be to ask here ^
SO, if my chatbot and chat commands stop working for no visible reason? log in and out mabye?
Are you using it through your username? @torpid condor
yes
@torpid condor If your commands recently stopped working and you're using OBS.Live and a custom bot name do the following:
1.) In OBS.Live, click on the hamburger menu (three stripes) at the top left of your activity feed
2.) Click on Stream Settings -> Custom bot name
3.) In the "Custom bot name" field select "Set custom bot name", not your already existing username (with capital letters)
Note: If you already connected an account that way, the third entry will show as the account name (see image https://i.imgur.com/sO7fWOX.png)
4.) Scroll a bit down and click on the purple "CONNECT CUSOTM BOT ACCOUNT" button
5.) Log in as usual and "Authorize" the custom bot name
6.) Back in the Activity feed, click on the "SEND TEST MESSAGE" button and check if your custom bot name starts working again
there was a issue with twitch on the 29th and this occurs now, follow above steps ^
Hey guys can someone help me?
I’m trying to get an overlay I have on my stream elements onto my stream labs obs but can’t remember how it’s done
@ember kelp 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
Paste the url in the “local file” section?
I'm not sure where the best place to ask this is. Is there somewhere I can merge or fuse 2 overlays into a single one? ie I have an overlay for my alerts, which I use in all my scenes. I would rather be able to add just 1 browser source for both my overlay and my alerts rather than have them seperate.
ctrl+v?
Press Ctrl+V
@ember kelp 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.
@violet frost
Right, so create 1 with my gameplay scene, then duplicate it and put in my intermission overlay?
Ok sure, that's a good workaround
Pretty much, yeah. I have my alert box as a separate overlay so I don't have to use "shutdown source when not visible". That way, my alerts don't get interrupted when switching scenes mid playing 
@agile vine please keep questions to one helpdesk channel
@agile vine 2nd warning, keep questions to one helpdesk channel
I am only using one channel
Oh I deleted it because it was an accident. Didn't realize you were responding. Sorry
What is the problem?
My chat bot doesn't work with obs.live opend
Are you using the bot as your own username?
no
@rotund frost Go to the dashboard -> right side -> part channel -> join channel (https://streamelements.com/dashboard)
^ can you try this for me please
did you add the bot as moderator after that?
it does seem its not modded:
I put /mod and the name
alright saw it got modded indeed now, ill have to ask around for you
ok
Can I share my screen for you
?
maybe I found a problem, but I don't know how fix
you can send a screenshot in here yeah
click top right on 'do it later'
otherwise
Streamelements on top of OBS -> Logout -> login
but, for example
now all bots comand work
if I click in do it later, so bot will stop to work
Can you click on the do it later
yes
then follow Support AI's steps above for me?
I'm just waiting on another answer about the issue, since i wouldnt know what the next step would be
someone else can better answer to this
thanks
@lilac ocean solved

Hey can anyone help me
Depends what the issue is 😄

@lilac ocean Because I doesnt change
I never think this will be changed
Hey, so the scrolling on the like recent donations.. etc. isn’t working on my stream
It works and shows its scrolling on my overlay on streamelements but not on obs
@clever mirage OBS -> settings -> advanced -> scroll down -> enable/disable hardware accel.
https://i.imgur.com/ggMe9ZE.png
^try this
I did that last night it didn’t work
I’ll try it again though
Oh it worked now
Thanks :)
same issue as last guy. Clicking "do it later" does nothing
OBS isn't opening for me! It "opens" but nothing shows up. When I hover over it in the taskbar, there's a white screen, but nothing shows up when I click it. I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling to no avail. Anyone else having this issue?
How do I import my overlays from Streamlabs over
Does anyone know why this would happen when installing the NDI plugin? Everything works fine but if I click OK it shuts off OBS
@long harness about this, click on < Back and then you will see Next buttons.
Also. I have a lot of scenes I use for different games. I cannot resize this window to hit upload. Anything i can do here?
Hello, I am not sure if this is the place to ask but if there is a better place just let me know. 🙂
I am using the Stream Elements overlays for my followers and such. But i am just now noticing that the font I'm choosing in the browser does not change over to the overlay actually on Obs? Am i missing something?
I see your helping someone else so no rush.
@warm flower 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.
Thank you
Wow that bot is heccin smart
lol yeah real quick
Hey ill accept it
Why, it's almost like there's someone behind it triggering it to say things.

LMAO aaahhhh
lol same!
Well, I am, but that's beside the point. 
Can anyone help me? OBS is not working
Any way I can fix this scaling? On a 4K screen.

@tulip hamlet That kind of helped. No more squinting! 
I usually have to squint to make changed on the fly lol -- on 1 side of my monitor thats above my main
Still having an issue with this tho, it wont let me resize this window so i cant click ok
Nevermind. Had to temporarily switch to compatibility mode to open in low res -- but ye this is an issue for 4K displays
Looks like there is a minor formatting bug in the Chatbot Timer page, when there are no timers setup, the button text isn't aligned properly. I don't know where to report this?
Windows/Chrome
@violet frost thanks.
This might be the wrong txt channel but I was wondering if there was anyways to zoom into my overlay in obs once I switch scenes
So SE used to have it's own OBS launcher, but after uninstalling and reinstalling, it's not there anymore. Anyone know what that's about?
I can't even find the obs.live in my pc
@iron isle You can use the regular OBS shortcut, obs.live is only a add-on for OBS Studio

How do i make this chat bigger so it can take like half of my screen?
You can either click and drag on the left side of it, or undock it and stretch it out.
After i undock it it wont let me stretch it out
Use a corner.
Hello, I was wondering if anyone could help me with this issue I have been having...
Basically, after about 5-10 minutes of streaming, StreamElements crashes completely, no crash log, no notification saying the app has crashed. It's like my computer just force closes the app.
Testing it today, StreamElements was open all day just idle, and has not once crashed. Could this be a CPU issue? Anything I can do to keep the program running?
Are you running it in admin mode?
And what are your temps and usage while this happens? Open task manager on the performance tab the next time you stream
@obtuse hound
I really need help -- I cannot get this crash window to go away. Does anyone else use NDI? This plugin is causing this to happen
You will need to reach out to the creators of the NDI plugin.
Do you know if newtek has a discord server
I do not, no.
Ok -- until i figure that out, alt strat.. What do you think would be the best way to go about recording 1 instance in 4K and streaming another instance that has all my twitch related sources in 720p -- I'd like to have a clean version for youtube, hence trying to port over to NDI on another pc.. but if its possible to manage this without my laptop that would be great too.
TLDR; Need to stream 720p, record in 4K. Don't want overlays on my recorded copy.
And this is over NDI and not using an elgato capture card or anything like that right? Single PC?
I have 2 HD60PRO but i havent looked into streamlink -- bc id like to also be able to cut to my camera in the recording
What im doing right now is setting up 2 profiles
Profile A: Streaming (overlays) and profile B: 4K master
IDK even tho I have that hardware I dont think it can delegate PC footage
from 1 pc
You could... hear me out.. record the cam in 4K with one instance going into SLOBS (ik eww) and have OBS as your main stream output
Just use the same 4K instance but downscale it in OBS
Would highly recommend having a Turing GPU for this and a beefy CPU
1070 i7 7700k , no issues on that
Not tooo over the top but maybe like 3700x level? Otherwise it will suck up a bunch or resources...
Oh, well, that’s a pascal card. The Turing architecture has a brand new encoder that is way more efficient
rtx?
hmm - possibly down the line 
Im wondering if my write speeds can keep up with the recording. I feel like it should be able to. Ive tried ~30K mb/s ~60k mb/s and it looks great but the frames stutter for some reason. Not sure whats causing the throttle
task manager is not bogged down during this
I’ve never heard of drive write speeds being an issue...
Im not worried about the camera yet im talking about gameplay
What is your monitors FPS
I have 3, all 4K
60?
Ok, also recording in 4K 60?
trying to / hoping to
What are you encoding with?
in the process of figuring out this dual stream layout
Well 4K at 30000 bitrate is way to low, wouldn’t go that low for 1080p (assuming you’re playing FPS games) but that should effect quality not necessarily make the recording stutter
Im just testing at this point im trying to figure out where the stutter is
cool will try that
Also wondering if MKV is the best filesave -- worried about corrupted recordings with MOV and MP4 , not sure which one uses the low-file size high quality encoding
Hello, my recordings are occasionally looking corrupt and are unplayable. I just had a rare win in a game where the recording is now lost it seems
@queen quest For the best OBS support, please join their Official Discord @ discord.gg/obsproject
@queen quest Sort of what I was talking about ^ If youre recording in MOV or MP4 this will happen
Those need to be "finalized" so if you quit obs before its done buffering that or the power goes out it gets corrupted
Cant really restore that without another software
Well I've haven't changed it and it started happening 3 days ago.
I wonder if that was it...
I don't know for sure, but im just saying if you do record MOV or MP4 its possible
I clicked "stop recording" and then it said stopping recording for like another 15 seconds before I clicked it again, then it looked stopped.
I wonder if clicking it again stops the final processing?
You might have cancelled it, i think thats a windows thing -- eg. if ur window is not responding and u just keep clicking it, it will abort
So yes that might be true, dont know for sure
FLV and MKV files wont do that tho -- they dont have a finalization process
It never took more than a split second to start/stop recording before and not it does this "stopping recording" thing for some period of time that it didn't do before.
Ok so if you dont care about what file type it saves as, double check your output tab and look to see what file its using
It wont do that in FLV or MKV
Its something worse. I can't get it to record an uncorrupt file in any of the formats
Didn't realize all my videos for 24 hours are Phucked
my bot is not showing new subs from youtube, but is showing new followers on twitch... I have both accounts connected...?
yep..
the bot's catching the chat from all services...
so why not stats and subs?
And this is with OBS.live or just StreamElements?
Ok, are the alerts working? Or is that what you are tying to fix? (Just so I understand you)
Alerts work on Twitch.. Stats work. Followers work.. Nothing for Youtube.. I only see their chat with everyone elses, but I don't see new subs on youtube alerted on screen... Nor in stats
that make sense?
browser sources are linked.. As I said, youtube works.. but even in my dashboard, SUBS show nothing
@vocal parcel We only support 1 platform at a time.
Oh that’s good to know
As far as YouTube subs not showing
I mean how is chat working from all
Was weird none of my commands were working today. Using custom bot name
!privacy
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
Is that part of the Twitch exclusivity thing?
@vague ledge If your commands recently stopped working and you're using OBS.Live and a custom bot name do the following:
1.) In OBS.Live, click on the hamburger menu (three stripes) at the top left of your activity feed
2.) Click on Stream Settings -> Custom bot name
3.) In the "Custom bot name" field select "Set custom bot name", not your already existing username (with capital letters)

5.) Log in as usual and "Authorize" the custom bot name
6.) Back in the Activity feed, click on the "SEND TEST MESSAGE" button and check if your custom bot name starts working again
@toxic fern btw love the name..... i mean what name right.. its gone
Okay cool I was thinking of relogging but that will be easier to check first
Why do I not have that option.. I've done all the reqs...
I cant rename my bot.. ugh.
So for the Linux version, how do I add the StreamElements stuff to it?
I am having issues getting the media request widget to accept a youtube url. assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Hey guys, when I get a sub my total counter goes up by 1 and back to 0 after a few seconds. I got 5 subs now and my goal says 5, but the total count says 0 ._.
OK has anyone had issues with No signal only on the input side of Elgato capture card. OBS cpmsta
Constant no signal
hey..the sub goal count... how can you reset it? i want my real goal not the total of the day i started until now xD
@stable sleet If you are having issues with Elgato hardware or software, we recommend reaching out to their support here: https://e.lga.to/help
@fringe whale 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
QUESTION: if i am sharing a pc and am trying to raid a friend who will stream right after me on the same pc, is it possible to do this with SE without downtime in between? (i see myself raiding an offline channel of theirs, then switching stream keys, then them going live - there must be a better way?)
Hey Guys! Does anyone know, why my bot in chat isnt working? For other users there seems no problem, but for me the bot stopped working and I dont have a clue why 😦
is the bot name "StreamElements" or are you using a custom bot name.
... then next question is going to be ... is it a mod in you channel 🙂
@distant breach I set my account as the bot. I changed it to "Streamelements" and now its working again. But why doesnt it work with my name? And yes, it is a mod in my channel
ok; there is a thing with the OBS.live; it has to be set up as a custom bot.
@wooden horizon If your commands recently stopped working and you're using OBS.Live and a custom bot name do the following:
1.) In OBS.Live, click on the hamburger menu (three stripes) at the top left of your activity feed
2.) Click on Stream Settings -> Custom bot name
3.) In the "Custom bot name" field select "Set custom bot name", not your already existing username (with capital letters)
Note: If you already connected an account that way, the third entry will show as the account name (see image https://i.imgur.com/sO7fWOX.png)
4.) Scroll a bit down and click on the purple "CONNECT CUSOTM BOT ACCOUNT" button
5.) Log in as usual and "Authorize" the custom bot name
6.) Back in the Activity feed, click on the "SEND TEST MESSAGE" button and check if your custom bot name starts working again
Has to be the 3rd option in that list
Working perfectly now, thanks! 🙂
not a problem. 🙂

Is it possible to filter audio in OBS without third party software so I can play music for my stream and not hear it in my headphones while playing call of duty or something ?
kind of. you can set up a few sources that you monitor, and some that you don't
the easiest way to do it, is to send the music to a different output than you are listening to
quickest and easiest way I can suggest, would be to plug in some speakers, turn them all the way down, then add audio output device "speakers" as a source for stream. Then make sure you can set your music to output to speakers, while keeping your game audio (and the rest of desktop audio) on headphones
Am I able to set up a music playlist in a scene and have the songlist shuffle with OBS Live?
Hi , my activity feed is not displaying when im on live. how to restart that? thank you
@rugged quail you could try setting up a browser source and logging into your music provider and setting it on shuffle like that? not sure if that'll do what you want though
youtube doesn't shuffle properly, sadly
it's why I'm looking for alternatives
I want the music to automatically turn on shuffle, so it plays a random song out of the playlist when I activate the scene
Is there no way to rename the boy anymore? I downloaded ground control and I have no setting for it
@hardy gull 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.
Anybody able to help me. I currently set up a StreamElements overlay setup. Now I added the alertbox which comes with the overlay theme I have. But my old alertbox is also showing. So now I have double alertboxes. Anyone know how to remove the old one?
Can anyone help me out? I made an overlay on the dashboard but can't figure out how to import it into the software?
@torpid oar To add your overlays to OBS, add a new browser source in your scene. Paste your overlay URL in the browser source properties, set the dimensions to 1920x1080 (unless you changed them on the website), and ☑ “Shutdown source when not visible” https://youtu.be/KDvLynUqXI4
Hi my activity feed has stopped working in the middle of 2 of my streams and i had to open ground control separately just to monitor the feed .. how to solve it
@potent sequoia Streamelements on top of OBS -> Logout -> login
No one to help me? 😅
okay but when it happens again will i be able to solve it live or i have to close the stream?
@rugged quail just select the old alertbox in the overlay and delete it 😄
Just check every overlay for a alertbox 😄
Okay will check 😛 Tyu
hi, I cant update my stream title?
I go to erase what is there, and nothing happens
@hoary juniper are you using OBS.live?
Question:
Kapagen is set up and working if I check the preview
In OBS.Live I am not getting Kapagen bouncing emotes or anything unless there is an explosion from followers etc
again in preview I see everything meaning the source is working as intended and browser source in OBS is not set to close or anything, can anyone help? 🙂
@hoary juniper Streamelements on top of OBS -> Logout -> login
@steel blade that didnt work 😦
@hoary juniper did you try to reconnect on your Twitch account?
Open Settings, go to Stream tab, and disconnect and reconnect.
I am gonna try that later on, and will get back to you ASAP. Thank you! @plain mason
Hey- so I’m using streamelements with obs and the browser pages are using up a lot of memory and I’m experiencing lag in game (OW/apex) can anyone recommend some settings for me that might not be right
System is rx580 ryzen5 3600
30 up 30 down internet
I'm having trouble connecting my custom bot name account to obslive, I've had it connected before met all the criteria's for it got through the motions of logging in, put the numeric code in and authorize, window disappears and nothing happens no new name pops up in my drop down. Any thought's ?
This is for Twitch btw
@untold spire If your commands recently stopped working and you're using OBS.Live and a custom bot name do the following:
1.) In OBS.Live, click on the hamburger menu (three stripes) at the top left of your activity feed
2.) Click on Stream Settings -> Custom bot name
3.) In the "Custom bot name" field select "Set custom bot name", not your already existing username (with capital letters)
Note: If you already connected an account that way, the third entry will show as the account name (see image https://i.imgur.com/sO7fWOX.png)
4.) Scroll a bit down and click on the purple "CONNECT CUSOTM BOT ACCOUNT" button
5.) Log in as usual and "Authorize" the custom bot name
6.) Back in the Activity feed, click on the "SEND TEST MESSAGE" button and check if your custom bot name starts working again
Yep according to my e-mail I've done all that 12 times, I'm just hitting some sort of invisible wall
Even reset session and refreshed activity feed panel
Having an issue that started today.. On my Activity Feed when trying to change my stream title it won't let me type anything. I have rebooted the system. OBS.live and also relogged in.. but it won't let me do anything. Plz help.
Right after the last authorize it's supposed to automatically show up in the drop down, but it just does nothing
Ok here's something interesting I changed it to my broadcaster name, hit save, it did save that name, but hit test message nothing sent
Now with SteamElements name everything works even test message, might be a server issue maybe?
Good Evening Lads and Gents, i need some help with my Overlay, espacially with the fonts used in mine... Sorry if my english is bad, its not my native...
nevermind... it somehow corrected it self after OBS hanging and restart XD
@modern walrus What are wanting to try with fonts in your overlays?
i´ve set up a running text of my recent 5 Followers, and choosen custom font (built titling RG) but in OBS it showed with an other Font, don´t ask me why... after some clicking here and there my obs.live broke and got a hang, i had to shut it down through TM. after restart everything was fine... XD so nevermind
Oh OK glad it all worked out for you
it now shows the correct font also in OBS.Live ^^
you know the standard question: "did you try switch it off and on again" forgot this so my fault ^^ but thx for asking
lol no problem
okay so now i have the correct Error... it´s the RG at the End of the Font Name even though the font is named Built Titling RG, you have to leave the Name without the RG, thats causing the bug... if you name it correctly it will show wrong on OBS.Live but correct in Streamelements Layout Editior, if you get rid of the RG it´s correct in Both! @untold spire
@rugged quail list your specs
oh man thats tough
@rugged quail 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 
only use 720p/30 and preset veryfast or better superfast, but it won´t be a nice thing to watch. also turn down the graphics of all the games you wanna stream, so that your GPU is only at 85 or 90% of usage if the game runs but the stream isn´t. Try with GPU encoding... thats all i can give you as an advice... maybe some other guys can help you with more
hey i'm having some issues with obs picking up my audio. It was fine in my previous stream but now it won't get picked up. any ideas?
@tribal moon For the best OBS support, please join their Official Discord @ discord.gg/obsproject
@modern walrus Do you more than one variation of the same type of font? Like one is normal another is same font but italic. If you do I ran into an issue of the overlay setting reading the correct one once. I just got rid of the ones I wasn't using and the one left worked fine for me after
Seem to have lost the ability to dock my Stream Information and Twitch Stats. Is this a bug or have these features been removed? I am beyond confused right now
@wintry anvil OBS Settings > Stream logout and back in.
@toxic fern Thank you for the help. I was going to Stream Elements > Logout. Much appreciated!
Can't seem to be able to change the bots name in obs.live. I don't have the "menu" option in the window.
@rugged quail Streamelements isn't a menu option at the top of OBS?
yes it is, and i have activated activity feed as well. But cant get the three lines at the top left of the activity feed window in OBS
Screenshot the main obs window.
What platform you logged into?
YouTube
i'm not able to change my title in OBS live with streamelements, i've tried logging in and out and resetting things, but it doesn't allow me to do anything with the title. but the game category i can still change. is there a reason for this issue?
^^^^^ was just about to ask about the same exact thing
yeah sorry i was trying to read. but i was late for going live
i fixed it by using commands in chat, but lmk when you guys figure it out. thanks 🙂
I want to set up a playlist that shuffles through a song and puts it on loop until I swap scenes again, is there a way I can do that? Any kind of app or tool?
that button is only greyed out if there is no backup made yet
I made a backup earlier today

StreamElements --> Cloud Backup --> Backup Settings and Content
Now I go to "Manage Cloud Backups" to restore
It downloads
The gives me this
Greyed out.
It's a 30mb "backup package", so there's certainly something there
🤔 i'll ask around internally
Thank you.
Initially, I setup my scene inside OBS, as in I added all pictures and widgets as sources right there.
Then I got convinced that doing it through streamelements overlays would be better for the performance and spent 3 hours making that transition. Only to realise that it ended up even laggier than before
apparently loading the entire overlay as 1 browser source ended up more laggy than adding the widgets/images as separate sources. Go figure. So I would appreciate if I could restore the backup I made and didn't have to spend another 3 hours putting everything together again
@sage wedge Streamelements on top of OBS -> Logout -> login
Relogged. It's still greyed out
Anything else I can do? I mean... being unable to restore a backup I carefully made gotta be a little underwhelming.
be a little patient please, we are looking in to it
Thank you
QUESTION: if i am sharing a pc and am trying to raid a friend who will stream right after me on the same pc, is it possible to do this with SE without downtime in between? (i see myself raiding an offline channel of theirs, then switching stream keys, then them going live - there must be a better way?)
My alerts aren't working in obs, can anyone help with this? Sorry I'm new to this
@royal abyss so you host/raid an offline channel but you dont want the channel to be offline when you raid?
@ember dune can you hear the alerts when you emulate them in obs?
@plain sonnet I haven't tried that, how would I do that?
@plain sonnet so i would be raiding a friend who would stream on my same pc right after me. is it possible to have him get started on my pc (live with starting soon scene for example) while im still streaming and raid into him?
no of course not, since he would use the same OBS
@ember dune in the overlay editor, click the editor button select an event like "follow"
make sure you have obs open and have the alert url added
@plain sonnet Got it! thank you 😄
hmm, then is it feasible to have a 2nd install of OBSLive on my ssd that has the 2nd streamers streamkey/scenes, and i just load that obslive simultaneously while i begin endingstream/raid?
im not enturely sure how to enter streamkey in this sense, in slobs there was a place i could input that. does obslive have that option?
how do you set up alerts using obs live?

I saw some others have this issue today, I am also unable to change my title in OBS Live with Stream elements. Tried restarting it and everything else. This is a new issue I haven't seen before.
i'm still waiting for anything on it myself @wintry tree but i just use the channel commands now until they fix it
!settitle and !setgame
newest updates been givin me a bit of a headache x.x sooo im logged ina nd everything and what not....but im kinda stumped on this not sure what to search this as in the help/faq on the website...
Please check that your overlay urls are correct.
right dangit i always forget one thank you x.x
hant had to touch thoes in a long time, forgot that setting x,x
Any update on the backup restore situation?
is using an overlay that has a lot of gfx/animation (for example from a pre-set theme) going to tax my computer resources more?
i added a brb and starting soon scene from those animated themes and switching between them has like a 1.5second lag of black screen as it seemingly loads
NEW Question: my Streamelements Bots isn´t working, it´s set to moderator; this was obvious to me but it won`t work...
hello for my stream title it won't let me type, for the game category yes but not the game title and im live right now, please help!!!
We're aware. No fix at this time.
@compact pendant @nocturne geode i asked the same thing about 5 or 6 hrs ago and nobody responded.. i thought it was me
You can use the chat commands instead for now.
thank you @tulip hamlet i'll keep a look out when its fixed and have my MODS on theirs toes today 🙂
its not letting me change my stream title on the activity feed. it doesnt let me delete the current title or change it in any way. any ideas?

So I added my overlay as a browser source, and when i emulate an alert, the alert sound plays but the overlay isn't visible. Am I doing something wrong?
(the alert sound plays through OBS, i have the editor muted)
@proud hull 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
I did that, and it still isn't visible.
@proud hull Please provide a proper screenshot with the issue visible. If not sure how to take a screenshot, you can check here: https://www.take-a-screenshot.org/

Well I am trying to set up my first live stream and I am trying to input the overlays that I downloaded but once copying the url into the system, it doesn't display the entire image
Hello, has there been any update on backups being unable to get restored?
Is this in response to me or?

Thank you, let me try that
hey im just wondering is there a way so obs wont pick up my spotify sound?
You'd need an audio mixer for that.
rip
if you don't use spotify @coarse mauve you can use a digital sound card like i do so i play music and only my chat hears it and not me
no its the opposite i wanna hear it but not stream
hey its not letting me change my game title in obs live anymore?
okay not to seem rude but its been hours and 0 update and its truly affecting my stream, and i can'
it doesnt let me change my title or even access activity feed anymore
't keep the hyper scape things going when my channel keeps messing up what its one with the error
ah i see its a issue everyone is having
just installed stream elements live onto OBS but none of the live features are available and it says I am still running in OBS studio mode when I keep launching it as OBS.live but it will not switch
yeah well its not even that,. i can change my title and such using different ways, but because its still stuck on "just chatting" with obs it keeps going back to that catagory instead of what i'm actually doing
@compact pendant It's past 1 AM here. A fix will not happen until the morning.
not my fault, its 3 pm in canada
You can use the chat commands instead of OBS.Live.
thats the worst MOD reply ever!
hmm that seems ridiculious since its peek streaming time for americans
I don't know what you mean by chat commands, and I want to use OBS.live, that's what I installed it for.
I agree
bro @tulip hamlet you seem to not be reading. i am doing that.... but its keeps going to what obs has locked in and i cant change.......
might have to rething my stream choice if this is the response from MOD's
Then unfortunately there is no solution I can provide at this time.
so playing the new hyper scape game which uses an extention for views keeps going away
yeah i think i might use something else as well
this discord has been good
We do not keep our devs hostage or force them to work without sleep. That's unreasonable.
And our devs are in Israel.
I mean thats just lazy it is peak time for american streaming right now and I would assume you have a lot of us so this its 1am BS is just that BS
so can no one tell me how to get stream elements actually working on OBS studio?

@dawn pivot For the best OBS support, please join their Official Discord @ discord.gg/obsproject
do i need browser overlay editing to make scenes if i can already do it in obs?
In general, using our overlay system will save in resources as it's only one source rather than several to achieve the look you're looking for.
view > docks > chat
Isn't that just stream chat or no?
if thats not what you are after it will be best to clarify what you mean.
Hello. I've still had no luck with getting the overlay to be visible.
I said twitch chat
@proud hull do you have a full overlay? (images/text in the overlay)
@daring pike and did my response not help?
@plain sonnet i needhelp with overlays on my whole screen
@tulip hamlet so its better to be loading one browser source with everything ican shove into it, rather than many sources in obs? i figured this would make configuration harder (example, need to drag stuff around live)
@loud lantern 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.
furthermore, say i just want a working alert box so i can use it throughout multiple scenes. is it smartest just to make 1 overlay with the alertbox in it, and call it multiple times in difference scenes using browser source?
i need help
Hi @loud lantern, Please ask your question(s) or describe the problem you're looking to solve so staff or a support volunteer can assist you as soon as they are available.
How do I connect OBS streamlabs and OBS studio
@loud lantern Please ask your question in one helpdesk channel only. A support volunteer or StreamElements staff member will assist you as soon as they are available. Asking in multiple places will only result in confusion, not faster answers. Thank you for your patience.
you dont, they are 2 separate platforms
ok
I just found that I wasn't able to pick what my broadcasting atgs were in OBS studio

@loud lantern 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
@plain sonnet Yes, I've got an alert box with text and a GIF. OBS will play the alert sound but the text/GIF won't show. I've already made sure my browser source is visible and has the right settings.

Hello, I have an issue trying to get a super theme to resize to 1440p scaled even though in the properties I select 1440p and when I add the browser source I am manually typing in 1440p
{New updates sent setting sideways} So, we have been trying to fix my stremelements bot since teh new update. at this point, im honestly just trying to find out to separate it from using my name x.x cant seem to remember where that setting option is x.x
Hello, I'm wondering if it is at all possible to get the Media Request to not play sound (even if its to go through a different speaker rather than my headphones.
No, honestly this software is very confusing compared to others I have seen
not play sound on my end, obviously i want viewers to hear it and interact with it, its just that the games i play require me to be sound sensitive and i cant have interrupting sounds
I've already disabled hardware acceleration.
Im sorry ALice who are you answering?
was i clear enough or does nobody know the answer to my question?
@sleek wyvern That requires an audio mixer setup.
@tulip hamlet ahhh ok so external audio hardware?
Or a virtual mixer.
hmm do you happen to know one preferably for free.
@sleek wyvern How to separate media request (MR) audio in OBS:
(Please follow one of the steps for your set up)
MUTE MR FOR YOURSELF, STREAM CAN HEAR
• Make a new overlay in the editor, ONLY add the media request widget,
• Add a new browser source in OBS, add the URL and set the dimensions correctly,
• Tick the box for "Control audio via OBS"
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/712428275049431120/716618713998033047/unknown.png
• Go to Edit > Advanced Audio , set your MR overlay to "Monitor Off"
NOTE: This will play through the Desktop Audio, if you mute your desktop audio, it will mute the MR.
CONTROL AUDIO SEPARATELY FROM YOU AND STREAM
• For this you will need a VAC (use command !vac),
• Run your MR either in Chrome or in Ground Control (use command !gc),
DO NOT CLICK "SHOW ON STREAM"
• Set Chrome or GC in the VAC as an audio input and output,
• Add the audio output from VAC as an audio input in OBS,
NOTE: this will not be able to show the video in OBS
It is currently not possible to separate audio for yourself and stream if you ALSO want to show the video in OBS.
The only way to do this would be to follow the last set of instructions above and then use Window Capture on GC or Chrome.
Thank you 
hello, so I recently just updated my windows and for some reason obs live will not play my capture cards audio through my headphones anymore. I use to just go into advance audio and select monitor and output and it will be fine now that doesnt work.
@boreal wren If you are having issues with Elgato hardware or software, we recommend reaching out to their support here: https://e.lga.to/help
I dont believe its el gato though it shows that it is playing but for some reason I just cant hear it on my side but it can be heard on the stream
any people who know how to use a mic here?
idk if this is where this goes tbh
i have headphones with the crappy mic in the wire, how can i use that mic?
My bot is not working no matter what I do, how do I fix this?
@faint whale If your commands recently stopped working and you're using OBS.Live and a custom bot name do the following:

@rugged quail Please let us know how we can assist you today is nice talk for We can't help if you don't actually ask a question
for media sharing, i cant seem to have my viewers send me medai to play on my streamm
because it says i dont have the widget but no matter where i search i cant find a link to the widget
There is no "link" to a widget. You add a widget to your overlay.
Widgets are components of overlays.
And your overlay has a link.
Afternoon, Is anyone else having issues with the Activity feed panel? I am unable to edit my stream title or Game field. As i try to delete the Game field it auto fills with the previous game, and i'm unable to edit the stream title at all.
do i HAVE to have an overlay just to have the media sharing thing?
i'll manually change it in twitch
i dont want a flashy big overlay, i just want people to be able to send me music on stream
without paying
@rugged quail An overlay can have just one widget. It doesn't need to be some big affair.

i just got a razer ripsaw capture card but i seem to having problem getting audio to work
You should contact Razer for assistance.
saw some video they click "Configuring Video" but in my obs only show camera setting
when i try to change the stream title nothing happens
Can't change my Stream Title from the Stream Settings on my Activity Feed anymore. It won't let me backspace or erase the title at all. any ideas?
please help, my game capture is coming up black
Hi Support, i just got new PC, and installed streamelements obs, when i try to change the title it wont let me. any1 know why this is ? thanks.
There is a bug with setting the title in OBS.live; the devs are working on it.
You can't in the OBS stream information from what I have seen. I am not sure if the chat command is working:
ah you want me to make a command
The other option is to set it on the website. Are you using Twitch?
Good day
how do i add an overlay that comes from streamelements.com to obs?
@dire 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
Hello everyone, I am having an unusual bug in my streamelements obs.live with my "Activity Feed" panel.
- The "Stream title" field can not be updated.
a. Reinstalled didn't fix it.
b. I tried updating that field on another computer and it reproduced the same error.
c. I can type in the game titled field and change that, or in the "Chat feed" panel and there is not issue there.
d. But in the "Stream title" field it behaves like I hit the "End key" and will not let me change the info there.
e. I tried disconnecting the stream user and reconnecting to see if that works.
f. I'm dumb founded at this point because it seems like network block of sorts, since I have tried all steps on both pcs and it just persists
on rejecting any input to that field and moves the cursor to the end of the field.
Thanks you

Is it with setting the stream title for Twitch?
@distant breach yes
I am able to change with Twitch's website, but I am not able to from within my Obs.live and it just started happening
@broken vortex There is a bug with setting the stream title in OBS and the Dev team is investigating.
In the meantime you can set the title using the !settitle command in chat (if enabled in your bot command settings)
Or with the Twitch dashboard: https://dashboard.twitch.tv/stream-manager
something happened a few hours ago and the OBS window isn't working
Ah
so it's not just you 🤣 .... not sure what happened yet; but chat command might be best way if you have that enabled
I was knocked out because the AC went out and I just resolved a router issues I was having with my DL being throttled by it after I updated the firmware.
It has been an exhausting day.
Nope you are 100% right. and thank you for the full detailed action steps you added 🙂 .... some times we just get 'it doesn't work' so the default is to ask for more info 🤣.
That is my past Phone Tech support Agent talking! You're welcome.
Remember a Doctor of any sorts is only as good as his patient's feedback whether that feedback arrives willingly or not.
Pls help I can't see my display capture or Window capture on obs live it's a black screen only
@kindred tusk For the best OBS support, please join their Official Discord @ discord.gg/obsproject
Nor I can add a browser source
@kindred tusk 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
The display capture is just a black screen
hello StreamElements good guys! 🙂 i have a problem if you have time for me! So the problem is that if i play an emulated follow event in the online editor, its playing in my obs too, but i can't hear the sounds i've added. I tried to make a new alert box, even a full new overlay, but still obs don't play the sound, just showing the alert...
i imported slobs alert box to SE using browser source. hosts and donations dont alertbox but everything else does. why is that and how do i fix? also is there a way to test fake donos/hosts to see if the alert will come up?
furthermore my chatbox doesnt work. i made an overlay of just the chatbox added in and it does not show text at all
there is an "emulate" button on the overlay editor (make sure the Preview option ins checked)
@distant breach yeah i always trying with it 🙂
alert arriving in obs, but sounds are not. Also, in the right corner SE writing that "emulation sent, but alerts are muted", BUT i didn't muted them 😄
oh. sorry. i ment that previous message for @royal abyss 🤣
..... but check on your overlay lower right at the mute icon 🙂 @rugged quail
@distant breach so i do not have to be live to test with emulate and i can see popups/alerts/chats/etc in the overlay editor?
also what is the best way to reset or edit labels? so far i go to My Overlays > data session
Correct on the first one. And yes for the second when resetting the data
thanks. is it customary for streamers to have that overlay site open while streamign to make such edits? i come from SLOBS so im wondering what best practice is
hmm weird in my overlay editor the chat still works. when i was live it didnt. any idea how this could be?
I'm not a streamer.. but my guess is no. it should all be background until editing and testing things.
When you load up OBS and get the stream preview (you don't have to be live) it should all work. when you type in chat it will post into the OBS preview
Basically the overlay editor is a "sandbox" to test stuff... then move it to OBS (which will be what viewers see. and you don't have to be live to preview that).
by move over, you mean copy url -> browser source right?
yup. exactly
@rugged quail did you have the overlay muted or was it something else?
Hello. I can't seem to be able to restore a Backup I made of my scene collection. The backup is there, it has a file size, it downloads, but then the "restore" button is greyed out
It is incredibly frustrating, because I spent hours to try something which didn't work out, and now I can't go back because "Restore" won't work.
I tried to relog and reinstall OBS.live
No avail. Please help
@sage wedge For the best OBS support, please join their Official Discord @ discord.gg/obsproject
@distant breach no, i didn't muted it^^ in the online editor sounds are working, only in obs i can't hear them
is it muted in the overlay editor; lower right icon; does it have a slash through it? https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/494513233416421386/730390888928378940/unknown.png
no :/ and in my obs i set the audio monitoring on aswell
i'm not sure. i'll ask if someone else might have an idea for that 🤔
i'm fully opened for solutions with teamviewer or etc 😄 i fighting with this problem for like 2 weeks already
if you go to the source settings->Properties then
@sage wedge I've asked around internally if someone with back-up experience knows how
Thank you. Hoping for a solution. I really want to stay with SE, but I need to be able to rely on it as well.
@distant breach done it already yesterday, nothing changed
Does the audio bar move when you use an alert with sound?
no 😄 checked it. So potentially the problem is not in obs i think
is the lower bar set all the way to the left like i have shown? (this is mute)
nah, its on max
@rugged quail OBS -> settings -> advanced -> scroll down -> enable/disable hardware accel.
https://i.imgur.com/ggMe9ZE.png
try that? .... toggle on or off depending on your current setting.
that's the last shot at the buzzer option i have. 🤣 .... i'll request help from others that have more experience and might have dealt with this before.
sad but no 😦
and you are 200% sure that the icon you have on the SE overlay does NOT look like this?
muted:
not muted:
yes :/ BUT when i first go to editor, i have to mute/unmute it to work well in editor too. But i accept it as a little-bittle-lady-bug
after i mute/unmute, sounds are good in editor
...ok that is a big "little bug" 🤣 . cause when you load it OBS it will default to the mute state. Do you have a custom widget in that overlay?
hey. quick question. i cant delete or backspace my stream name anymore. did i lock it somehow?

i don't use any third party or custom widget in that overlay, alsooo i use the new microsoft edge if u asked me 😄
Hello, any idea why the bot is displaying my emotes as their words instead of the emotes when it runs?
Your bot would need to be a sub (for Twitch) to be able to use emotes
If you are a Twitch Partner you can sub the bot for life
Hi i'm just trying to set up my alert box on obs and whenever i preview an alert it's not central in the browser window, its sort of cut off to the side? Can anyone help with this?
@viral saddle To add your overlays to OBS, add a new browser source in your scene. Paste your overlay URL in the browser source properties, set the dimensions to 1920x1080 (unless you changed them on the website), and ☑ “Shutdown source when not visible” https://youtu.be/KDvLynUqXI4
I've done all of that but it's still not fitting in the browser windows
it's cut in half
Do you have a screenshot of that please.
Check the resolution of the source.
i cant see how to do that do i do that in streamelements or obs
Check what the bot said above.
All sorted thank you

how do i get super themes to fit to 1440p natively
Edit the overlay resolution and rearrange the assets.
So it won't just auto fit it when changing the properties from the "my overlays" tab
Any word about the kappagen hotkey not working with Elgato StreamDeck?

@vagrant obsidian 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.
Hey guys my StreamElementsBot is again not working...
Hi there! I've added soundbytes to my stream store and they worked last night in Streamelements OBS Live but today i cant hearthem while testing the extention to redeem (which is what i did last night too) any ideas?
this seems to be an intermittent issue with no changes done by me
(that im aware of anyway)
Hiya. I'm having problems with the sound rememptions. For some reason it just says that every sound is on cooldown which means I can't play any of them
what do you have the sound cooldowns set to?
My activity feed wont accept any changes i make to it, such as changing my stream title or hotkeys to skip alerts or reload overlays

hmmm strange, my bot is hanging it isn´t shouting its timers
Don't worry I fixed it
In OBS studio under the Activity Feed for StreamElements, I'm no longer able to edit Stream Title. It let's me change the game, but when I try to type anything into the stream title, it move the cursor to the end and doesn't allow me to remove or add any text..
Changing title directly on Twitch works

hey any ideas on the soundbyte issue im having above? 😢
@vagrant obsidian Which overlay has your store redemption widget?
hmmm
let me check one sec
you know what? i dont think i have one?
i must have been using an overlay with the widget added! let me add it. you're the bomb 💣 @tulip hamlet
you are always the one to help me!

YAS! that was it 😄
you get a cookie!
(duh! that was a silly mistake)
Hey all, need a bit of advice. I imported and edited an animated overlay. everything is fine on the web side of things (preview) but when I add it as a browser source in OBS, it's super stuttery and doesn't look well. I have 1GB Up/Dw connection, but unsure why this may be.
Rayzen 9 3900X, 2080TI, 64GB ram. so it's sufficient.
@tidal nymph 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.
Understatement
Where do i refer Elgato Stream Deck Extensions with OBS.Live questions? As i don't have kappagen shortcut working for me.
does anyone know when the (not being able to change your title problem) will be fixed?

@rugged quail For the best OBS support, please join their Official Discord @ discord.gg/obsproject
but im useing stream elements not obs studio anymore
OBS.Live is a plugin for OBS Studio, not its own software.
OBS Studio still controls the main functionality.
so where i can get some help cuz they send me back here ..
no they didnt, you just havent stated your issue there
Also, "they" are just other users there, not their volunteer staff.
its the staff of that server
not a single staff member of obs has spoken to you in there
ok il wait then
i still need help with stream elements ,i dont ahve the option they says in stream elements
The issue you are experiencing is an OBS Studio issue, not a StreamElements issue.
Having trouble editing my Stream title while in OBS. Can edit game but not title.
Known issue.
Ahh okay. Thanks will wait for update then.
Hi, I'm trying to use the change bot name feature on the obs. but when I change it mask mine it just does nothing. But if I change it back to regular SE then its fine
@elfin remnant If your commands recently stopped working and you're using OBS.Live and a custom bot name do the following:
1.) In OBS.Live, click on the hamburger menu (three stripes) at the top left of your activity feed
2.) Click on Stream Settings -> Custom bot name
3.) In the "Custom bot name" field select "Set custom bot name", not your already existing username (with capital letters)
Note: If you already connected an account that way, the third entry will show as the account name (see image https://i.imgur.com/sO7fWOX.png)
4.) Scroll a bit down and click on the purple "CONNECT CUSTOM BOT ACCOUNT" button
5.) Log in as usual and "Authorize" the custom bot name
6.) Back in the Activity feed, click on the "SEND TEST MESSAGE" button and check if your custom bot name starts working again
OBS keeps saying "Could not access the specified channel or stream ley, please double-check your stream ley. If it is correct, there may be a problem connecting to the server."
I've checked the key and it isn't it, and Twitch doesn't seem to be down?
test with that
Set Duration to Medium. You can uncheck any regions you're not near
Hey everyone! I'm very new to Stream Elements, I was wondering more broadly, is there any down side to adding a Browser source over an image or video source? I can't really combine elements that much because I need the layers to be independently toggleable for my own purposes.
I don't think their is, I have about 20 things going on in one scene.
only 2 that comes to mind (both situational on settings):
-
browser source load time is not instant as it will need to download/refresh
-
browser sources constantly on can increase cpu load
@plain sonnet What do I do if all my connections failed
nothing at all, its the connection to the twitch servers
check in settings > advanced > network , set it to default
if it already is then youre SOL
Welp I'm SOL
Thank you tadpole. So would you say some combination of Browser sources and local sources can be ideal?
I have a permanently looping background video at 720p 23fps.
Having an issue trying to change my stream title and game information in my "Activity Feed" panel. No issues in the chat box. Only issue is with the Activity Feed. Delete obs.live app and re-installed, still nothing. Any one else experience this before?
did u connect your account?
Nvm. After a quick scroll i see this is a known issue.
Yes my account is connect and everything. Will resort to the browser site for the time being.
i need help
Hi @slim furnace, Please ask your question(s) or describe the problem you're looking to solve so staff or a support volunteer can assist you as soon as they are available.
so ive been copying my overlay to the URL but when it pops up, it pops up zoomed in to the left corner and i cant zoom it out.
@slim furnace 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
I'm still hung up on whether or not I add a source as an image or a browser source from StreamElements.... this is tough haha
