@fossil tapir did you change your Twitch name to another one?

fossil tapir
#

yes

plain mason
#

Say the old and new names...

fossil tapir
#

mrzxdk1 > optogaming

plain mason
#

@fossil tapir done.

fossil tapir
#

Nice, links working but its the wrong stats.
Is there anyway to fix that?

#

or do i just have to generete new ones

plain mason
#

@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.

fossil tapir
#

All good, thank you so much

#

Can you pick the data from the new one? or only the old one?

stable axle
#

anyone know why my overlays all of a sudden wont work at all?

steel bladeBOT
#

@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

#

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?

soft yoke
#

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

steel bladeBOT
severe oyster
#

@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

tulip hamlet
#

@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.

severe oyster
#

That's what I initally thought! However, I've had people do it several times on the same stream

tulip hamlet
#

Can you provide a clip of the behavior?

severe oyster
#

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

tulip hamlet
#

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.

severe oyster
#

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

tulip hamlet
#

If you can get them both in one screenshot, that'd be ideal.

severe oyster
#

they're pretty far apart, let me see if I can make a quick gif out of a video

tulip hamlet
#

Thank you. However, my eyes are burning from looking at it, so I've made a dark mode version of it. 😛

lilac heron
#

I dont have an example right now but I can confirm that I have had a similar issue

tulip hamlet
#

Not necessary to provide one. This issue has already been reported in the past and is being looked into.

lilac heron
#

oh that is great! Good to know

severe oyster
#

good to know!

karmic monolith
#

Trying to import to obs.live from StreamLabs OBS, but it keeps saying "Failed importing Scene Collection"

#

Anyone have an idea why?

tulip hamlet
#

@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.

quick ravine
#

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?

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 ?

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 🥴

How to I leave this discord

hardy gull
#

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

karmic grotto
#

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?

Can anyone help me please

I can’t even access stream elements website. I just get a white screen

try it in the browser

#

What do you mean sorry?

#

I have tried that I think...

are you opening it in OBS?

No

Just going onto google

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.

cosmic sedge
#

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.

tender python
#

That's desktop sound issues; which in return leads to setting(s).

#

Either windows default audio and/or OBS

violet solar
#

Has anyone else got any ideas on how I can load the website?

#

Tried incognito

#

Didn’t work

tender python
#

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.

violet solar
#

I can get on it on my phone

#

Not my pc..

#

So it must be my pc is there anything I can do

tender python
#

So, it's your PC/network.

#

This sounds so default, but

#

have you tried rebooting?

violet solar
#

Yeah💔😂

#

I’ve not been able to for ages

tender python
#

to do whawt

violet solar
#

Get on the website

tender python
violet solar
#

What will this do?

tender python
#

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

violet solar
#

yes

#

ill do this now

#

i flushed my dns and that didtn work

tender python
#

Then it's something i can't put my finger on and I assume something's borked on your PC's end.

violet solar
#

how do i open it through obs?

#

im using streamlabs obs

tender python
#

edit widget data

#

then go to your overlays

violet solar
#

i think its different on stremlabs obs

#

cant seem to find widget data

tender python

...

#

this isn't the SLOBS discord, so no luck there sorry

#

yes

steel bladeBOT
#

@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

ember kelp
#

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

steel bladeBOT
#

@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

ember kelp
#

Paste the url in the “local file” section?

violet frost
#

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.

ember kelp
#

It’s not letting me right click to paste the url for the overlay

violet frost
#

ctrl+v?

steel mural
#

Press Ctrl+V

steel bladeBOT
#

@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.

steel mural
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

steel mural
#

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 4HEad

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.

steel bladeBOT
#

@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:

  1. Install the font on the streaming PC or choose a pre-installed windows font.
  2. In the overlay widget settings, select Text Settings
  3. Enable Custom Font
  4. 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.

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?

rugged quail
#

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

You will need to reach out to the creators of the NDI plugin.

storm plover
#

Do you know if newtek has a discord server

tulip hamlet
#

I do not, no.

storm plover
#

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.

rugged quail
#

And this is over NDI and not using an elgato capture card or anything like that right? Single PC?

storm plover
#

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

rugged quail
#

Can you use the elgato capture software?

#

Yea that... sounds about right

#

I think

storm plover
#

IDK even tho I have that hardware I dont think it can delegate PC footage

#

from 1 pc

rugged quail
#

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

storm plover
#

1070 i7 7700k , no issues on that

rugged quail
#

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

storm plover
#

rtx?

rugged quail
#

1650 super or higher

#

So not necessarily but yes

storm plover
#

hmm - possibly down the line raysShock

#

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

rugged quail
#

I’ve never heard of drive write speeds being an issue...

storm plover
#

well to be fair its to an external

#

But its USB 3.1

rugged quail
#

Are the framerates of the camera and OBS synced?

#

Still shouldn’t be an issue

storm plover
#

Im not worried about the camera yet im talking about gameplay

rugged quail
#

What is your monitors FPS

storm plover
#

I have 3, all 4K

rugged quail
#

60?

storm plover
#

Main is a GSYNC compatible Freesync

#

Yes all 4k60

rugged quail
#

Ok, also recording in 4K 60?

storm plover
#

trying to / hoping to

rugged quail
#

What are you encoding with?

storm plover
#

in the process of figuring out this dual stream layout

rugged quail
#

And some other settings

#

Mainly the quality preset

storm plover
#

Nvidia h264 new architechture. ill screenshot

rugged quail
#

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

storm plover
#

Im just testing at this point im trying to figure out where the stutter is

rugged quail
#

Change (recording) CBR to CQP and give it a value of 16

#

Test that, ping me I gtg

storm plover
#

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

queen quest
#

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

steel bladeBOT
storm plover
#

@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

queen quest
#

Well I've haven't changed it and it started happening 3 days ago.

#

I wonder if that was it...

storm plover
#

I don't know for sure, but im just saying if you do record MOV or MP4 its possible

queen quest
#

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?

storm plover
#

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

queen quest
#

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.

storm plover
#

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

queen quest
#

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

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

@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?)

wooden horizon
#

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 😦

distant breach
#

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 🙂

wooden horizon
#

@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

distant breach
#

ok; there is a thing with the OBS.live; it has to be set up as a custom bot.

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 ?

undone musk
#

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

rugged quail
#

Am I able to set up a music playlist in a scene and have the songlist shuffle with OBS Live?

unborn comet
#

Hi , my activity feed is not displaying when im on live. how to restart that? thank you

undone musk
#

@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

rugged quail
#

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

@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

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

untold spire
#

@modern walrus What are wanting to try with fonts in your overlays?

modern walrus
#

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

untold spire
#

Oh OK glad it all worked out for you

modern walrus
#

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

untold spire
#

lol no problem

rugged quail
#

what are the best settings for obs live

#

my pc isnt the best

modern walrus
#

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

modern walrus
#

oh man thats tough

steel bladeBOT
#

@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 SEheart

modern walrus
#

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

Hello everyone. How do I restore a backup?

#

The "restore" button is greyed out

wary dew
#

that button is only greyed out if there is no backup made yet

sage wedge
#

I made a backup earlier today

wary dew
sage wedge
#

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

wary dew
#

🤔 i'll ask around internally

sage wedge
#

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

@ember dune can you hear the alerts when you emulate them in obs?

ember dune
#

@plain sonnet I haven't tried that, how would I do that?

royal abyss
#

@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?

wary dew
#

no of course not, since he would use the same OBS

plain sonnet
#

@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

ember dune

@plain sonnet Got it! thank you 😄

Hello, has there been any update on backups being unable to get restored?

daring pike

Is this in response to me or?

steel bladeBOT

@daring pike 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

hey im just wondering is there a way so obs wont pick up my spotify sound?

tulip hamlet

You'd need an audio mixer for that.

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

compact pendant
#

't keep the hyper scape things going when my channel keeps messing up what its one with the error

mystic otter
#

ah i see its a issue everyone is having

gaunt thorn
#

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

compact pendant
#

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

tulip hamlet
#

@compact pendant It's past 1 AM here. A fix will not happen until the morning.

compact pendant
#

not my fault, its 3 pm in canada

tulip hamlet
#

You can use the chat commands instead of OBS.Live.

compact pendant
#

thats the worst MOD reply ever!

mystic otter
#

hmm that seems ridiculious since its peek streaming time for americans

compact pendant
#

wow

#

most tilting statement ever

gaunt thorn
#

I don't know what you mean by chat commands, and I want to use OBS.live, that's what I installed it for.

compact pendant
#

nah nah, "it wont get fixed because its 1am"

#

thats garbage!

tulip hamlet
mystic otter
#

I agree

compact pendant
#

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.......

mystic otter
#

might have to rething my stream choice if this is the response from MOD's

tulip hamlet
#

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

@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 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'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

sleek wyvern
#

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.

flint carbon
#

Im sorry ALice who are you answering?

sleek wyvern
#

was i clear enough or does nobody know the answer to my question?

tulip hamlet
#

@sleek wyvern That requires an audio mixer setup.

sleek wyvern
#

@tulip hamlet ahhh ok so external audio hardware?

tulip hamlet
#

Or a virtual mixer.

sleek wyvern
#

hmm do you happen to know one preferably for free.

steel bladeBOT
#

@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 SEheart

#

My bot is not working no matter what I do, how do I fix this?

steel bladeBOT
#

@faint whale 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

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.

You can't in the OBS stream information from what I have seen. I am not sure if the chat command is working:

The other option is to set it on the website. Are you using Twitch?

Hello everyone, I am having an unusual bug in my streamelements obs.live with my "Activity Feed" panel.

  1. 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

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...

royal abyss
#

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

distant breach
#

there is an "emulate" button on the overlay editor (make sure the Preview option ins checked)

rugged quail
#

@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 😄

distant breach
#

oh. sorry. i ment that previous message for @royal abyss 🤣

#

..... but check on your overlay lower right at the mute icon 🙂 @rugged quail

royal abyss
#

@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

distant breach
#

Correct on the first one. And yes for the second when resetting the data

royal abyss
#

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?

distant breach
#

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).

royal abyss
#

by move over, you mean copy url -> browser source right?

distant breach
#

yup. exactly

#

@rugged quail did you have the overlay muted or was it something else?

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 🤔

@sage wedge I've asked around internally if someone with back-up experience knows how

sage wedge
#

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.

rugged quail
#

@distant breach done it already yesterday, nothing changed

distant breach
#

Does the audio bar move when you use an alert with sound?

rugged quail
#

no 😄 checked it. So potentially the problem is not in obs i think

distant breach
#

is the lower bar set all the way to the left like i have shown? (this is mute)

rugged quail
#

nah, its on max

steel bladeBOT
distant breach
#

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.

rugged quail
#

sad but no 😦

distant breach
#

and you are 200% sure that the icon you have on the SE overlay does NOT look like this?

rugged quail
#

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

distant breach
#

...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?

tender python
#

aaaaaaaaaaaaand just to be sure

#

you're usign chrome eh? Or a chrome based browser

how do i get super themes to fit to 1440p natively

odd kraken

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?

Hey guys I can't change my Stream title anymore on OBS Live. When I try to delete or type something in it directly sets the line to the end of the sentence..

steel bladeBOT
#

@lapis garden 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

@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.

im sorry

Hey guys my StreamElementsBot is again not working...

vagrant obsidian
#

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)

fading pumice
#

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

vagrant obsidian
#

what do you have the sound cooldowns set to?

indigo skiff
#

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

vagrant obsidian

#

#

YAS! that was it 😄

tidal nymph
#

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.

rugged quail
#

What are your pcs specs?

#

And is hardware decoding enabled?

tidal nymph
#

Rayzen 9 3900X, 2080TI, 64GB ram. so it's sufficient.

steel bladeBOT
#

@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.

rugged quail
#

but im useing stream elements not obs studio anymore

tulip hamlet
#

OBS.Live is a plugin for OBS Studio, not its own software.

#

OBS Studio still controls the main functionality.

rugged quail
#

so where i can get some help cuz they send me back here ..

plain sonnet
#

no they didnt, you just havent stated your issue there

tulip hamlet
#

Also, "they" are just other users there, not their volunteer staff.

rugged quail
#

its the staff of that server

plain sonnet
#

not a single staff member of obs has spoken to you in there

rugged quail
#

ok il wait then

#

i still need help with stream elements ,i dont ahve the option they says in stream elements

tulip hamlet
#

The issue you are experiencing is an OBS Studio issue, not a StreamElements issue.

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

steel bladeBOT
#

@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?

plain sonnet
#

test with that

#

Set Duration to Medium. You can uncheck any regions you're not near

timber thunder
#

Thanks I'll try it out!

#

What do I need to do if it fails

graceful parcel
#

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.

timber thunder
#

I don't think their is, I have about 20 things going on in one scene.

plain sonnet
#

only 2 that comes to mind (both situational on settings):

  1. browser source load time is not instant as it will need to download/refresh

  2. browser sources constantly on can increase cpu load

timber thunder
#

@plain sonnet What do I do if all my connections failed

plain sonnet
#

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

timber thunder
#

Welp I'm SOL

graceful parcel
#

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?

split igloo
#

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.

slim furnace
#

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.

steel bladeBOT
#

@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
