i need help my obs live does not connect to my internet server
frame rate is dropping always red line is showing help me please
@solar jacinth Dropped Frames means that you have a bad connection between your device and the streaming platform and most likely something related to your ISP not handling the connection properly.
Speed tests usually cannot help solve this problem and its best to use this guide: https://obsproject.com/wiki/Dropped-Frames-and-General-Connection-Issues
If you stream to twitch, use the !twitchtest command and do a connection test to your regional servers.
wondering how i can change stream title, category and live message through the obs software. I had it before i reinstalled it and cannot remember how. If anyone can help i would appreciate it ❤️
@latent root Install OBS Live plugin that is made by StreamElements. It's good, but can't add tags with it. If that doesn't matter then it's good for you. Enjoy. Update: Stream info doesn't appear for me via docks path. Can change title w OBS Live.
@latent root view > docks > stream info
@plain sonnet it doesn't come up in docks
what platform do you stream to?
twitch
settings > stream
disconnect then reconnect your account
well getting back into it
that worked. thanks @plain sonnet and thanks for the other option too @muted ermine
when i use the chat widget to go live, it doesnt let me and just refreshes the setting window in obs, when i use fb dashboard settings it goes live but stream elements doesnt see that im live and i get no stream activity. how can i fix this?
Hello ladies and gents. Mapppi here to annoy everyone again 😄 I Formated my computer recently and seem to have lost a few options in the OBS.Live app
For example, I don't have the option to use the little dock that shows current viewers/followers /subs etc
yeah same here. As of late I am missing "Stream Information" which was really helpful to change the title/game on the fly.
Also I can't seem to move any UI component to the left of my preview any more 😦
Also this one^ !
I didn't know the name of them as I was using them a lot. Arguably some of the most useful docks on the app.
ok media request is back to the left, but yeah stream info isn't anywhere to be found 😦
All I know is that I'm missing two docks that went to the top left and top middle
and it was the one that let me edit stream info and the other that showed viewers/followers
Not sure If I'm just being dumb or 
Stream Info was on the top left for me as well. Now I have to click on the hamburger Menu next to activity feed, go to settings.. it's just tedious to do compared to before
weirdly enough the stream stats do show up in my other vanilla OBS instance that I installed before OBS.live
Also I noticed that in my vanilla OBS I can right click the top of one of the docks and it let's me choose more docks to add. This doesn't work in obs.live for some reason
how come these two seem to interfere with each other when I thought I installed obs.live in a different path, too?
Do you find a big difference between the two?
I've only used StreamLabs and OBS.Live
But I really miss those docks. Maybe worth going to vinilla OBS?
obs live gets you a lot of things out of the box. But I am not sure this is the right channel for this topic
you can probably add a lot of things manually
Emulating alerts isn't working on my overlay on obs.live ... i can see the alert doing its thing on the website editor but not on my obs.live itself... :/
I've made sure that "Emulate live" thing is checked so it should be enabled.
you probably saw this question here a thousand times but I searched for older answers here and nothing worked. Im getting the no active widgets were detected for media request. The alerts are working when I click emulate and I have added the widget for media request in the same overlay, anything Im missing? Thanks
About my previous issue I logged out on obs live and logged in and started working
I am having an issue where if I change the game/stream title in OBSlive before I stream, then it doesn't update on twitch. I've had to go back and manually fix this later. Is there a way to make it so when I update my stream info it actually goes to twitch?
@pine dragon 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
Thank you.
I am getting random stream crashes where the bitrate just drops to zero and then after sometime the stream ends. When the bitrate becomes zero, the green signal changes to red too. How can i fix this?

I have an upload speed of 24Mbps and use bitrate of 7k. I generally stream at 1080p on facebook
Hi all, I am trying to copy/paste an overlay from streamelements site to obs, however the image appears to just be a bit of it - not all of the overlay..! Can anyone help me? 🙂
@deft girder To add your overlays to OBS, add a new browser source in your scene. Paste your overlay URL in the browser source properties, set the dimensions to 1920x1080 (unless you changed them on the website), and ☑ “Shutdown source when not visible” https://youtu.be/KDvLynUqXI4
Thank you. Also, when I edit the text on the overlay in streamelements, the text doesnt copu over to the preview or OBS?
save the overlay, wait up to 5 seconds, if it doesnt load then refresh the browser cache
Thanks @plain sonnet. How do I reset browser cache? through my browser or via streamelements?
right click on the browser source in obs > properties, refresh cache
Still not updating the text 😦
Just tried again and none of my custom font is copying from Stream to OBS
Hey i hope i'm on the right section. When i go to stream and have my desktop audio up to hear alerts its duplicating the sound to my headset which means i am hearing the PS4 sound twice does anyone know how to stop this?
@abstract lily Make sure to ☑️ “Shutdown source when not visible” for all browser sources (all OBS scenes). If using studio mode, uncheck “Swap Preview/Output scenes After Transitioning.” Also keep in mind that sound can play from any overlay loaded in the browser (editor or launched). https://i.imgur.com/6bWXxjR.png https://i.imgur.com/yY0wcFl.png
@deft girder 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.
Sorry I dont mean fonts, I mean my text I have entered for youtube, twitter etc not showing in preview or OBS
Its just the static text from the template
Is it showing in the editor?
thanks i have tried the setting above and the sound is still duplicated. If i turn the volume down below 50 i dont hear the duplication but i dont hear my alerts
What exactly is duplicating? Only alert sound, or all your sounds?
hallo i need help can someone help me

hello guys
i'm trying to connect to my twitch account inside OBSLive but isn't working
any help?
Hey everyone !
I’m trying to add music / videos to my BRB scene,
I followed the guide on the website and it worked the first time but when I went to stream it doesn’t work 🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️
Can anyone tell me other ways to add music to my stream ?
for when I’m not showing gameplay ?
@modest goblet
As per our conversation earlier about the docks not working?
The chatbox within my OBS.Live asked me to login after typing it
After that all the docks started working again. Hope you find some success!
Hiya! Can anyone help me figure out how to get Sims 4 to show up? I wanted to play it today for stream but all SE OBS is showing is black screen like this photo. Thanks ❤️ (I hope this is the right place and the screenshot is okay!)
#helpdesk-selive i have an issue with the emulation of my alerts. off stream they work, but while i am streaming, i don't see the alerts on the screen live. can someone help?
I guess nevermind? I'm not sure what I did but it's working fine now!
@shy kestrel what exactly do you mean when you say "typing it"?
Also thank you for the update
ok somehow it is now working again for me as well. Thanks mate!°
so i have a question is there a way to add a custom Stinger trans to my OBS.live
Same way you would to OBS Studio. Same function, not affected by having OBS.Live or not.
That is not the transition menu. This are the settings for the studio mode.
@odd kraken where might one find the menu ?
nm found it
@odd kraken thank you very much

hi guys i'm trying to figure out why my emulator sounds won't work when i'm live. i figured out majority of my sound issues on my own, but still can't find out how to raise the sound on the emulators
i have an alert issue, i had customs audio for my alerts, whenever my alerts go off, theres no audio, but if i 'control audio via OBS' my alerts double, ill mute one or the other and i cant hear at all
anyone know why im not getting notified when i get a raid or a host
@worldly stratus Due to changes to Twitch API, we have filtered out hosts and will only show these ones on your activity feed:
- All hosts coming from an online channel with at least 1+ viewer
- Auto host events with at least 1 viewer - only from a channel that just went offline
Note: If you see "X channel has hosted you" with no viewers on the back, that is considered an offline host or a host with 0 viewers, we do not show these.
i got hosted by 3 different streamers each with 10+ viewers and wasnt notified
is there anyone here good with the reaper plugin
@worldly stratus Please logout of StreamElements at https://streamelements.com/logout and then login again to your account (Twitch/Youtube/Facebook)
ive done this multiple times and still nothing
other alerts are working? You have enabled the chat alert module?
it was working fine 3 days ago and now nothing for the last 3 days
Hello there, quick question... how can i get thee stream information Dock for twitch??? i have tried to log in and out, and it does not appear in the view, nor the streamelements tabs. the only dock i can get is the chat dock. thanks in advanced for your help
you already tried this
@autumn storm Streamelements on top of OBS -> Logout -> login
@autumn storm you have the latest version of obs.live installeD?
@honest echo yes i do, i downloaded today in the afternoon
i also have checked for updates in the software and it says no update available
Could you share a screenshot of the whole OBS please
try this: Settings > Stream and link your twitch account

When i stream my obs live is 100% fine no issues but on twitch my stream is choppy and blurs a bit when moving. do i fix that on obs live?
Sounds like your bitrate is too low.
my bitrate is 2675 how mucher higher would be recommened
thanks for the help guys. i figured it out on my own.
Can someone help me about this? I can't connect my facebook page in this activity feed and latest chat/comment?
@restive bronze Streamelements on top of OBS -> Logout -> login
nvm i searched it up and found out what bitrate i should use
guys help! My camera is showing in every other program but OBS i have to stream now! Help!
here is my log https://obsproject.com/logs/7GIDmqCTbY8xBj05
@chilly basalt For the best OBS support, please join their Official Discord @ discord.gg/obsproject
no i need help here ive gotten it before
hey i cant seem to be able to edit the overlays inside of OBS and when i edit a premade one to add my twitter it doesnt update at all on teh website
Select the widget, open the Settings menu on the left, and edit the text field in there.
You've probably just been editing the layer name.
😂 im stupid clearly lmao was wondering
can someone please help me
We can't troubleshoot the function (or lack thereof) of a specific camera. You're better off asking OBS Project's volunteer support, who will have more experience on that topic.
well it's not that, its that its working in every other prgram but obs live.
OBS.Live is a plugin for OBS Studio, not its on software. The video capture source is still entirely handled by OBS Studio.
But, i've received help here with this before?
I had someone sub last night, but they dont show in the activity feed of SE or my labels for latest sub, but are in my twitch feed as a sub. How to fix?
@lusty brook Twitch prime (new and resub) and paid subscriptions (resub only) must be shared in chat manually by the person subscribing in order for the subscription information to be sent to StreamElements. For twitch prime, the user needs to have sharing enabled on https://www.twitch.tv/settings/prime. For paid subs, if the share box doesn't show up immediately it will when they refresh the page. https://i.imgur.com/VNJN0Uv.gif https://i.imgur.com/2297EA7.png
So if i manually set their name in the label and someone else subs later, will that override?
The newer one should appear.
Assuming it's a new one. Otherwise they'd have to have done the above thing to do that.
did that change? i dont recall this ever having to have been done
It'd been like this for a good while.
SO all of my browser scources randomly stopped working today
So my bot in SE only does chat alerts for 1 and 2 months subs, is that different?
Did you change the chat message?
I call next for help
Its my Mod too so they were a little upset lol
Why did all my Browser scources completely quit working
They were a resub and my label is set to latest sub, so during the session they were a "new sub" but then reverted because it detered a resub? maybe?
What do you mean quit working @ebon dragon
reload overlays? refresh cache?
What do you mean Reload them @lusty brook
I need help guys.. My mic is not working on obs
@balmy snow For the best OBS support, please join their Official Discord @ discord.gg/obsproject
My error/issue has to do with the browser scources from Stream elements dashboard
They show up fine on the dashboard memnu
but show up as black screens on the actual Obs.live
@lusty brook if they showed in the activity feed it should've shown in your overlay/alert.
@ebon dragon OBS -> Settings -> Advanced -> Scroll down -> enable or disable Hardware Acceleration, depending on its current state. (This does not apply for OBS on Mac)
https://i.imgur.com/ggMe9ZE.png
@toxic fern they arent in my SE activity feed, just my Twitch feed

Please provide your account ID found at the top of this page: https://streamelements.com/dashboard/account/channels This ID is public info and safe to share here.
Was that message for me?
Yes
5ebb656a149df288798f59ed
While it won't retroactively fix any subs anything new onwards should behave as intended once I pass that to staff.
ok ty
should i turn off auto session reset and manually reset each session before going live each time?
My streamelements overlays suddenly broken? and it doesnt pop out. I just streamed yesterday and it works fine but now its broken and i already restarted my computer its still the same
@topaz basin OBS -> Settings -> Advanced -> Scroll down -> enable or disable Hardware Acceleration, depending on its current state. (This does not apply for OBS on Mac)
https://i.imgur.com/ggMe9ZE.png
noted noted ill try wait
And i forgot to tell that the problems occurs when i auto update my nvidia driver to version 452.06 Release date 08/17/2020 😦 it slowed down my computer
Already did the enable or disable Hardware Acceleration enable = blackscreen overlays and if disable = flickering black screen overlays
How to actually disable the Video Preview?
Don't really need it for Audio, is just using up resources that don't need to be used.
Even Streamlabs bot has this option.
1/3
2/3
3/3
Yeah that didn't work @toxic fern
:/
This is such a fundamental feature tho... Stream Elements is all about using Less Resources isn't it? So why does it's media tab not let us use the Least Amount?
Doesn't make much sense to me.
:/
It's also an unfair comparison as the programs are designed entirely differently.
Yes and No, they're both stream related programs aren't they? Yes the coding and some designs of integration are different, but the goals are ultimately to bring a better streaming experience right?
Question @toxic fern if you know the answer. Could the tabs be edited all custom like with the source code? If someone knew how?
all of a suddon i cant see my chat or my viewers when i go live now how do i get that back
@rugged quail That is something you'd have to do on your own as that is beyond the scope of our support.
@devout mason streamelements menu then choose the options for those.
@toxic fern That wasn't an answer. can it be done with the Source Code? Would it be possible, I'd have to learn to do it or find someone to do it, but I'd like to know if it is possible or not.
@rugged quail The source code of OBS.Live can be found at the bottom of this page: https://www.obs.live/
Also to expand on what Sudo meant by It's also an unfair comparison as the programs are designed entirely differently.
OBS.Live is and addon to OBS Studio - meaning its not a FORK as SLOBS is. Basically we add to OBS Studio rather then fundamentally change it.
Ah, but what I was pointing to was not SLOBS, but a separate Program, the Streamlabs Chatbot itself which is separate and doesn't require SLOBs, probably on me to of been clearer with that. Although that bot is built up on ankhbot, so that is a fork too I guess?
One is an external tool that adds to your chat bot, while OBS.Live, as mentioned is an addon to OBS STudio with which then you actualyl stream with.
Whilst Streamlabs Chatbot thing is their separate software, we do not have anything that compares to that.
And I want to point out that having the video shown in the Media Request dock, is actually a requirement for it to play audio.
How Streamlabs can hide the video, is entirely up to them, but we've had communication with YT before about our Media Request
So in the end - different companies, different tools
Whenever I press left alt in my OBS it changes scene. It's not supposed to do that, and only started doing it today
Do you have any hotkey set?
:D @frosty agate this is StreamElements, not StreamLabs 😅
that what i meant haha i havent long just woke up and its been bugging me
still i have same problem network issue and fame rate drop help me please
@solar jacinth 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.
Hey, i get an error says "Failed downloading software update package" when try to update obs.live
Restart PC and then try to update
Restarting...
Btw when I start obs it reduces other sources' volume
Is there a solution for that?
first time hearing about that
For example, League of legends and YouTube are open on a browser page. I start obs then their volume reduces like 80 percent. Desktop master volume does not change. Their volumes in mixing get changed.
Can I send a video here?
No - as this seems like a more technical issue realted to OBS Studio
rather then OBS.Live, which is a plugin
so it might be best to ask in the OBS discord here: discord.gg/obsproject
Thanks for that
Another issue is when I use default obs without live plugin, I can make it invisible by clicking its symbol on windows bar so it doesn't come out when I alt+tab. It's not possible on obs.live
@shy mountain it says failed still
Show me a screenshot
This comes up when I press the update button on notification
Something is blocking the updater from getting the update
https://obs.live get the installer form here
and it will update obs.live
On notification it said it will update my obs studio too
Do I need to download the newer version of obs studio?
Whats your current version
25.0.8 64 bit
then you are on the latest OBS Studio version

@chilly basalt 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.
where is the changelog for obs live? i saw something with editing widgets ? where is that
help
oh ok
Do you guys recommend making the overlay on streamelements and put the link on a browser or just load them locally ?
website
SE is a cloud based service. You can't load them locally 🤔
no, i mean i have a personal overlay and i could either add them via image source and video source or upload them on streamelements and do that way
ok i'll focus on website
Hello, I wanted to know if it's possible to unban a person from media shares? I'm trying to find the option but can't seem to find it
@pine barn Please provide your account ID found at the top of this page: https://streamelements.com/dashboard/account/channels This ID is public info and safe to share here.
and the username to unban
I just recently installed OBS.Live, and I'm wanting to import my assets from Streamlabs OBS, but every time I try this (Alertbox seems to have transferred at least), it just says Failed importing Scene Collection.
Any way to fix? Been trying for a little while now, and it always says the same thing.
in which channel do i have to be for donation questions
@plain sonnet so i want to connect g2a pay to my donation providers and i have watched streamelements videos how to do it but they have a button to connect and i dont do you have any ide a how to fix this
g2a is no longer available due to regulation issues.
will it come back ?
if they decide to conform to the EU regulations then possibly
okay thanks for the info
hey guys, im having this issue where anytime an alert goes off, like 5 of them start playing all at once. Ive checked the overlays, there seems to be no duplicates of any kind.
@chilly basalt Can someone help me with my problem?
@chilly basalt Make sure to ☑️ “Shutdown source when not visible” for all browser sources (all OBS scenes). If using studio mode, uncheck “Swap Preview/Output Scenes After Transitioning.” Also keep in mind that sound can play from any overlay loaded in the browser (editor or launched). https://i.imgur.com/6bWXxjR.png https://i.imgur.com/yY0wcFl.png
hey everyone. I could use some help... I am the account owner of the streamelements account but my buddy who co-runs the channel with me is the one who streams and he is having trouble connecting obs to streamelements for overlay alerts. does he have to have my streamelements log in to integrate to obs or is there a way around this? i'd like to keep my account password private
im not sure if that helps me with my problem support haha
5992f474fa18343f99e48037 and duardo1 to unban
@pine barn done
So, i have like 5 different alerts playing at the same time anytime one gets triggered but there are no duplicates on my overlay. Ideas?
@chilly basalt Did you read the bot message above?
Oh great tech gurus of StreamElements. I request your aid. I just received the update for obs.live and the updater can't open BugSplat64.dll, is this a normal thing right now or is something else happening?
@cedar helm Did you try it with admin rights?
i have not yet. Should I launch obs.live in admin?
Ok I just tried launching the update through obs.live admin and still have the error
.
@honest echo I went through and wiped obs and obs.live from my pc and downloaded the freshest version and it worked
@chilly basalt Did you read the bot message above?
@sand fable I did but doesnt it seem a little irrelevant to my problem? or am i just not understanding.
I need help
Hi @stray kayak, 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.
I am trying to add the stream elements tip alert to OBS, but for some reason it doesnt pull over to the overlay. I dont have a fancy setup just a plan overlay that i planned to put this on top of.
@stray kayak 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
@stray kayak 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
neither of those help as ive already done that
hi is there a way to have a command trigger an sound?
@stray kayak 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 moving forward, someone help me?
Don't import Nerd or Die. It won't work. Nerd or Die provides separate installation instructions for StreamElements.
I want my scenes, but I don't know how to do them, my transitions
Transitions don't import.
Transitions aren't cloud-based. So you just add them in OBS.
omg... XD ty
is there a way to make a comman to use an alert noise without the command being !redeem first? or is the store the only way :/
You can create a custom command using the ${redeem} variable.
Im not 100% sure but is this the support area for OBS?
Hi im using stream elements for my alerts but when i play them in the stream preview on OBS studios its cut off and not centered in the moveable box
@uncut bolt 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
thank you very much i have one more question. how to i simulate a follower in the obs studios
@uncut bolt You can test alerts via the Emulate bell on the lower left side of the Overlay Editor. Simply go to your Dashboard > My Overlays > pencil/edit button on the overlay. Make sure the Preview LIVE on stream option is on to see the alert in OBS/XSplit** https://streamable.com/vtulg9
FIXED THE RESTREAM TOKEN ISSUE! Just have to disconnect account and reconnect with new stream key!
is there a way to control the alerts volume in OBS studios
Browser sources have an option called "control audio via OBS"
Hi. OBS keeps losing connection on my PC during streams lately, but I have a valid internet connection (600mbps download and 23mbps upload). I am using the Auto-Config settings for streaming and I am on ethernet connection. Anyone have any thoughts?
@lusty brook Please provide a log from your last stream. To do this, in OBS go to Help > Log Files > Upload Last Log File and paste the link to the log file here.
https://obsproject.com/analyzer/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fobsproject.com%2Flogs%2FrPhRrYSyJsLwDuPo
Tiny bit of dropped frames due to connection stalls. I don't see specific disconnects, though.
how do we make it so the overlay shows top donations, new followers, etc

So the non-default x264 item. I dont see veryfast in the preset streaming tab of output. I have mine set to Quality
Need some help: My Stream Elements is not showing my custom fonts. I have downloaded them correctly and used the Custom Fonts check. It will only allow me to use the "main" font and not the fonts such as "Extra bold" or "Italic"

I dont get it, I have a custom theme..... Glitch2. I dont want to use a theme from the themes store on SE, can't I import mine?
Third party overlay creators like Nerd or Die will include instructions on how to install with StreamElements. You need to follow their instructions.
Usually it’s a downloadable file that when double-clicked takes you to your overlays list and imports it
Hey guys, i have a question. I'm using the OBS Streamelements addon, and for some reason when i'm live the automatic update of the users in chat doesn't happen. If i manually refresh it works tho, only the automatic update doesn't. Any ideas on how to solve this?
QUIERO TRANSMITIR EN FACEBOOK, Y EL OBS HACE LA TRASNAMISION EN YOUTUBE, COMO REALIZO ESTE CAMBIO PARA QUE TRANSMITA POR FACEBOOK?
@mortal briar Welcome to the helpdesk! The regular helpdesk channels are in English but we do provide multi-language support in the following channels: #🇩🇪︱deutsch | #🇫🇷︱français | #🇪🇸︱español | #🇵🇹︱português | #🇳🇱︱nederlands | #🇮🇹︱italiano | #🇵🇱︱polski | #🇨🇳︱中文語言服務區-chinese | #🇯🇵︱日本語-japanese | #🇭🇺︱magyar | #🇰🇷︱한국어-korean | #🇹🇭︱ไทย-thai | #🇷🇺︱русский | #🇺🇦︱українська | #🇨🇿︱czech
Unfortunately, there is nothing we can do about that, as the chat dock we load is the actual chat from Twitch as a pop up. It might be possible they have changed something with the viewer list and its not being updated.
I can vouch for this, as OBS Studio has its own Twitch Integration and has the same Chat dock and both chat docks have the same issue.
I see, so in order to fix this twitch should change something ?
I believe its on Twitch' side
Alright that's fair, i'll contact twitch support and see what informaton i can find out. if it so happens they have information i'll come back here and let you guys know 🙂
Good luck and see you in 3 months(im not joking here)
yeah it's been slow recently i noticed
Recently? When has twitch support been faster then 2-3 months response to queries?
I mean i opened up a ticket like 2 months ago and got a reply within a week
Very interesting 
But the last ticket i opened took a while as well
Hi. I'm having a problem with OBS saying it needs to update and generating an error message "Failed downloading software update package". In addition, I am unable to go live from OBS on twitch. please assist
On stream deck app it says “open streamelements obs” when it is open
this only happened after i downloaded the upsate
@gilded basalt Not all staff are able to assist with support issues. Please refrain from pinging them or sending them DMs unless asked to.
Either reinstall the streamdeck software or reinstall our addon/plugin for the streamdeck
OR
- Open
%appdata%\Elgato\StreamDeck\Plugins - Delete the
com.streamelements.obslive.sdplugin folder
Nvm I figured it out myself.
Yeah obviously hes not a dev but i was seeing if he could forward the issue
Posting your issue in this channel is sufficient to get you support
No need to tag random people
Why is my streamelements close and never pop up
Can you elaborate?
Hello, I try to import my scenes from streamlabs, but it keeps telling me. Failed to import.
even when only having overlays checked
If you have local files like videos and they are above 30mb, that can cause the importer to fail
hmm lets see
Hi so I am in need of help my stream audio doesn't seem to be working or it is but my chat says the gameplay audio is very low any ideas of how to fix this?
Stream set up
Xbox to Elgato
Elgato to PC
@harsh gulch For the best OBS support, please join their Official Discord @ discord.gg/obsproject
So, update came out, clicked to update, this happened, and now the program won't even open without crashing....
Try to close all instances of OBS, start installation with admin privileges and it should work then
Now it's just stuck..
question fam, when doing bot timers, what exactly does the online/offline intervals (minutes) mean? like where would it post offline? i know online it posts in ur chat every whatever min u put it on but whats the offline for?
I believe if someone is sitting in your chat, and you are offline (not streaming) then it will post stuff, or if they are watching a VoD
During VoD it doesnt work as VoD has prerecorded chat too. Besides that you are right
And about your progress stuck. Did it continue to install?
yeah it finally finished.. like just now
Hi there, not sure if right area for this. But im having troubles with my tip page . None of my tips are coming through on stream elements. I've even tipped myself to check , the money has come out of the bank, but doesn't show on tips. I dont have the mod active to pre accept tips either. Any ideas?
Are there transactions in your paypal account? If no, then something is wrong with your paypal account
if yes
check to see if you need to accept the transactions @opaque portal
I did . And there's nothing there to accept
@pine barn done
@honest echo hes still banned, cant request songs
@opaque portal then you need to contact paypal support on this and see where your own transaction has went to.
I am already in the progress of doing so. I think I've sorted the problem from stream elements. And as said sorting the lost trans issue. Ahah thankyou kindly.
hi, i want to change my bot name but im not getting the stream settings options with the 3 lines next to the activity feed
Good morning, I tried searching this in the search bar, but couldn't find anything. After the recent update to OBS Live, I can't hear all of my monitored audio (Monitor & Output) on OBS. I've tried checking with my audio settings, and although OBS shows music playing in the Audio Mixer- my computer's Volume Mixer shows no sound coming from OBS. Does anyone have an idea of what the problem may be?

why do I get an error while installing everytime there is an update for OBS.live?
`StreamElements OBS.Live v20.6.24.635 Setup
Error opening file for writing:
C:\Program Files\obs-studio\bin\64bit\BugSplat64.dll

I downloaded the installer from the website and it worked perfectly
Hallo zusammen, habe mir nun Streamlabs OBS Live, Streamelements also Bot und eine Kamera von Logitech geholt, sowie von Elgato die game capture card... Würde gerne langsam anfangen zu streamen und habe mir auch bei OW3ND so ein Layout mit Alerts geholt, hätte jemand heute Abend ab ca. 23.00 Uhr Zeit mit das alles ein wenig zu zeigen und auch einzustellen?
dazu gibts doch so viele tutorials auf youtube
Habe ich mir schon angeschaut, aber irgendwie funktioniert das nicht so
oder ich bin einfach zu dumm
😓
du machst dir auf streamelements in deinem dashboard ein neues design fügst da alles ein (nicht vergesen auf save zu drücken sonst wird gar nichts gespeichert) dann wird ein link erzeugt und den kopierst du einfach in OBS in eine browser source
Okay, heißt dort kann ich auch auch mein Elgato + Cam hinzufügen?
nein das musst du in obs machen
Hi there, I've got an issue while restoring my scenes backup, the restore button is grayed, unable to click it. So, i cannot restore my scenes
Where do I go in obs.live to change my bots name? When I click streamelements and tipping and bot settings i have it all set up and there is no option to change bot name it just says im all done.
Hi people, awesome work with OBS.Live i have just one issue with streamlabs' chat widget. Their alertbox works. the chat is just not showing, no matter what i try. Do you have any hints?
anyone having issues with game sound from ps4 with elgato lately?
it was fine 2 nights ago the only thing thats changed was an obslive update
my alert wont pop up on obs or stream i put in the url but nothing is working?
Why does it say the scene name is already in use when I deleted it?
Nevermind I closed it and opened it again and it worked. Probably a bug that needs looking at?
I also use streamelements myself, but the chat notification doesn't work for me as soon as I simulate an alert, it does so, but nothing is posted in the Stream chat, can someone help?
When setting up overlays with a webcam frame in them, how do I make sure that the webcam window on the overlay shows my webcam?
Do I do that in the editor, or in the studio part of OBS
hey how do you add overlays on stream elements
been trying to figure it out for ages
Are you using streamlabs overlays and importing it to OBS?
If so, you just need to grab the weblink, and add it as a browser source
right ok thank you very much
ok for some reason that still isnt working
is there anyone that can help me via screenshare
@wary roost sorry i misread you question in sources place the image above your webcam source
@glossy ore I figured that part out, my webcam just isn't matching up with the webcam frame. I think I need to resize the source somehow
oh right click on the webcam on preview and press transform, i hope that what ur looking for
Not really, no
I think I'm gonna be better off just making my own overlays, the lack of instructions for customizing something as simple as a webcam is kinda of frustrating
Hey guys how do you add an alert box to stream elements whenever I try at least through the browser it does this
@keen jasper 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 check Shutdown source when not visible. https://youtu.be/KDvLynUqXI4
@steel blade followed link exactly as said unfortunately it didn’t help it’s still telling me page not found
My Media Request is not working in my OBS Live and i also can not Manage the Volume

host alerts still not working is there going to be a fix or solution
@worldly stratus Due to changes to Twitch API, we have filtered out hosts and will only show these ones on your activity feed:
- All hosts coming from an online channel with at least 1+ viewer
- Auto host events with at least 1 viewer - only from a channel that just went offline
Note: If you see X channel has hosted you with no viewers on the back, that is considered an offline host or a host with 0 viewers, we do not show these.
doesnt help at all im getting hosts with 10 viewers and its not showing up at all
will there be a solution because its hella annoying it works on other services just not stream elements
check your alert box and all variations for hosts
do they show in your activity feed?
nope not at all but they do in moobot
like i said they did 6 days ago then all of a sudden just stopped

Can someone help me?
@harsh heath If your commands recently stopped working and you're using OBS.Live and a custom bot name do the following:
- In OBS.Live, click on the hamburger menu (three stripes) at the top left of your activity feed
- Click on Stream Settings > Custom bot name
- 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).
- Scroll a bit down and click on the purple Connect Custom Bot Account button
- Log in as usual and Authorize the custom bot name
- Back in the Activity feed, click on the Send Test Message button and check if your custom bot name starts working again

hello my obs keep crashing when start open it any idea?
@feral saffron 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.
@feral saffron 1. Uninstall OBS.Live and OBS Studio completely, but leave this UNchecked https://i.imgur.com/LBaHgM1.png
2. Download and install OBS Studio from https://obsproject.com/
3. If it doesn't crash, install OBS.Live too.
-
It's fixed? Nice!
-
It crashes again?
- Repeat steps 1 and 2
- Duplicate the current "Scene Collection" at the very top of OBS, call it something like "Backup" and remove all browser sources in that backup
- Install OBS.Live and see if it still crashes
- If yes, repeat steps 1 and 2, leave OBS.Live uninstalled, tell us that it didn't work and use your old default scene collection again.

Hi. I'm having trouble getting donations on the activity feed. I can see the alert and everything but I can't see it in the feed. Any Ideas?
Yes, you are using Streamlabs' tipping link.
If you are using OBS.Live you won't see the tip events in the activity feed
as we are 2 different companies
Media Request in OBS Blasts my ears away, but for my viewers the volume is really low. My Desktop-audio is on max for the viewers and all of my other audio is set perfectly. How can I fix this?
Any advice on resizing screen, somehow 3 quarters of my screen/overlay is missing like its been stretched?
@thorny spade 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

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). Note: Do NOT click on 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

i set a tip goal within the overlay editor but im not sure how i am meant to reset the starting amount of the goal. it automatically sets to the amount i have been donated within all time and there is no option to reset the starting amount
@molten heart 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.
This is my “start stream” pop up before I start. Why is the text so small? I can’t even read or edit it
Hey do you guys know the best way to fix this issue im having? https://gyazo.com/c2c121a9f6c4a479662269c2e1353125
it doesn't let me scroll down to save my stream info

I am currently trying to restore scene collection with the cloud back up, but the restore button is grayed out.
Can you show a screenshot?
Hey my overpays aren’t showing up and yes it’s on top of my game capture

If that doesn’t work then what?
did you follow the instructions first?
Yea
And it didn't help?
Oh it did just slow my bad
Right, so if that didn't work, we could have tried something else, but since it helped, its all good 🙂
All my overlays are too big now lol
!res
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
idk why i can't restore it, I mean it's not a huge deal to just add new things to my scene again, I just reinstalled windows is all
It seems the backup didn't get the scene collection.
Most likely there was something in the scene collection the backup process can't process so it skipped the scene collection
ok no worries
So if I don’t stream in 1080 the overlay won’t work properly?
If your monitor is not 1080p and your OBS Video settings for the canvas are not set to 1080
then the overlays will look big
Well is your monitor a 1080p one?
Sorry I’m new to all this
show me this
Then you need to edit the overlay to match the resolution
Ok thank you
do note that you need to adjust the widgets in the overlay before changing the resolution of the overlay
to change the resolution of the overlay click on the 3 dots -> properties
👍
none of my stream elements overlays are appearing in OBS. i have done no changes everything worked the last time i used OBS
If you try to open the browser source URL in chrome, do they appear there?
yes they do

Hi there everyone... Is there a chance the last update of OBSLive broke communication with Stream Deck? I can no longer play/pause, skip, turn on/off viewer requests, modify volume... for the song request widget.
@sonic silo 1) Open %appdata%\Elgato\StreamDeck\Plugins
2) Delete the com.streamelements.obslive.sd plugin folder
Will try 🙂
How do you fix The Overlays? All i see is just a black box
@grizzled knoll 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 check Shutdown source when not visible. https://youtu.be/KDvLynUqXI4
my party chat is echoing in my head set any ideas?

Hi, for some reason when I am importing an overlay from streamlabs obs, it fails to import the scenes. Anyone have an idea?
HELLO guys why is my overlay not visible in obs.live it was last night not touched anything
@deft jackal most likely a media file is failing the importer

Hi! I've recently went through a name change on twitch and now OBS can't seem to connect to my chat anymore
@simple prawn If you changed your name on Twitch, please follow these steps:
- Visit https://streamelements.com/logout and then log in again by connecting with Twitch.
- On the right side of the dashboard page that opens, select Join under bot settings. If it says Part select that and then select Join to send the bot to the chat. Don't forget to mod the bot by typing
/mod streamelementsin your channel if you have not already. - Post your old and your new name here so that we can update your channel's chatstats tracking (must be done by staff).
The name changed from f0x_bit to foxbit_ (had to put it in code blocks because of discord's formatting of underscores)
any staff can help me out?
@crude tapir 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.

@steel blade i try
@crude tapir Right click on the BrowserSource > Properties > Scroll down a bit > Refresh cache of current page
and all of my scenes its the same thing there are like turned off
and when i checked the streamelements website nothing was problem
same problem @crude tapir
@crude tapir we solve it
How
we turn off the hardware accelleration and we set again all the links in the scene
afther the obs was reboot
ok
hey i don't have any leaderboard data and no chatstats 😦 what can i do?
@trail turtle If you changed your name on Twitch, please follow these steps:
- Visit https://streamelements.com/logout and then log in again by connecting with Twitch.

@crude tapir u do ?
i tried to do 1 and 2 but still no data... i didn't change my name
cheers etc are working but no chat stats and watch time
@trail turtle 10 minutes of watchtime are given to those in chat when the loyalty points are handed out (every 10 minutes). Therefore, loyalty must be enabled for watchtime to work properly.
There is no direct link between watchtime and all-time points.
It can’t be calculated from the amount of all-time points a user has because subs may earn points at a faster rate and !bonus all command increases all-time points for users in chat at that time.
Giving points to a single user does not affect all-time, only when giving to all in chat.
it worked calavera thx dude
@crude tapir no prob ♥ i leave u the follower too XD
bye
i enabled the loyalty now but on https://stats.streamelements.com/c/ningsade1 i still get a 404 page not found error
i'll send it to staff
thank you 🙂
should be good now
yes! thank you very much 😄
ive just upgraded live and now for some reason my game capture isnt showing anything but black screen, was working pre-update?
i also got a virus alert during update but i restored the file causing the false negative
@primal tundra 1) Restart OBS
2) Start your stream/recording for about 30 seconds. Make sure you replicate any issues as best you can, which means having any games/apps open and captured, etc.
3) Stop your stream/recording.
4) Select Help > Log Files > Upload Current Log File. Copy the URL and paste the link here.
Note: If you do not see an obsproject.com URL, you will need to update OBS Studio to version 22+.
Name changed from cracked24hrs to guppifn
Hi, my OBS.Live doesn't recognize the sound of the desktop when I put it through the headset

Hi, my StreamElements doesn't recognize the sound of the desktop when I put it through the headset
@primal tundra afaik you cant gamer cap the mirror app,
use window or display cap
do you see it in the game cap properties window?
yes
click on the game cap and press ctrl+r then ctrl+f
did nothing m8
is the source locked?
where do i see that m8?
the padlock next to the source
unlocked
click the source so you get the red box outline, right click on the preview main preview > preview scaling > scale to window
is it worth installing previous version?
already set
its worked for months, just stopped today when i did the update
double check to make sure your obs is set running on the correct power mode
@primal tundra Due to the way laptops are designed, your system must be configured to run OBS on a specific GPU, depending on the type of capture you are trying to do.
For Game Capture and Window Capture (recommended), your system must be configured to run OBS on your laptop’s high performance GPU (default); for Display Capture, your system must be configured to run OBS on your laptop’s power saving GPU (iGPU).
If you are running Windows 10 1903 or newer, use this guide for instructions on how to configure your system: https://github.com/obsproject/obs-studio/wiki/Laptop-GPU-Selection-Windows-10
For instructions on configuring an older version of Windows (you should consider upgrading), use this guide: https://obsproject.com/wiki/Laptop-Troubleshooting
you want it on high performance
Hey guys, my overlays have disappeared from my streamelements and even after refreshing the cache, I still have a black screen. what do I do?
just check, it is, still no luck
Heyo! Does anyone know how to put FrankerFaces and BTTV emotes on on my onscreen chat overlay
It seems as if only Weirdchamp works
@plain sonnet it is set to high m8
is the app running on the same gpu and power settings?
same steps as above
hey guys i have a problam the sound of mi system is duller when I start obs can someone help me
thx 😄
im on a pc, when you say app, how do i test that?
the apowermirror app is working fine?
it doesnt have gpu and power settings
manually changed it in windows as i think thats what you mean
now the same - high performance
right click on the capture and select properties
hey my overlays arent showing up
still shows there
This may not be the right place to post this but I use a GoPro hero 7 as a camera. The frame rate was perfect yesterday and was completely fine, I try to stream today with nothing changed and it’s the frame rate is terrible. Maybe it’s a setting I changed, does anyone have any ideas?
deleted and added - no luck
although i have no red border now when i click on the source?
@hollow hearth I'm having the same issue.
Hi there! My stream was working fine just a few days ago, but now my overlays arent showing on OBS? Any ideas?
no red boarder means the source is locked.
are you going back into the app when trying to capture?
anything to do with links
no m8
@neon raft same
I closed and re-opened OBS, and re-issued the browser source and nothin'
@neon raft it isnt working
so just the whole site is down right now? @hollow hearth
@neon raft i think so
Wait is obs.live down?
@neon raft the weird thing is, I tweeted at Streamelements support and they said the overlays were working fine. SO unless they're unaware of an issue...idk
@plain sonnet mujst be something to do with the update?
There's 26 SE Staff members online in the Discord right now. I need to at least know that they're working on it because I want to go live lol
@neon raft me too
@neon raft Not all staff are able to assist with support issues. Please refrain from pinging them or sending them DMs unless asked to.
since we're on the topic, is anyone else having a laggy facecam now?? cause now mine is stuttering in my overlay scenes
not me sorry @dire epoch
@primal tundra could be,
you can try removing the se plugin to see if just obs works
do a backup of your profile and scenes before uninstalling
scene collection > export
profile > export
uninstall the obs.live then uninstall obs
(you will get the option to keep your settings)
then install just obs
OVERLAY ISSUE
all the people with overlays not working, are you using obs.live or just obs?
Well while we wait for the overlays to get fixed, I havent messed with my alert box in like 3 years. I dont remember how to edit it lol. I just want to turn the sound down on it a bit
I'm using the streamelements shortcut to open it. don't know if that makes a difference
@neon raft same^
@dire epoch @neon raft please can you dm me 1 of your overlay urls that isnt working
Does a facecame count as an overlay?
Is there a way to make folders for scenes to organize them better? Or could that feature possibly be added? I couldn't find where to suggest a feature so i went here
@twin basalt OBS.Live is just a plugin for OBS Studio, not it's own version so not possible from our side, but it's planned by the OBS team
@tough frost No, overlays = browser sources.
@steel mural Ahhh i see. Do you have any idea how soon that might happen?
@plain sonnet im using obslive
and i un instatalled it
and the overlays started workin
now i installed it again and they arent working
yeh thats what i was afraid of, do you currently have obs.live installed?
yes
@hollow hearth Please send in an issue report so our team can investigate using the program's logs:
Report an Issue
- Select StreamElements at the top of OBS
- Select Report an Issue
- Please write a detailed description of the issue you are facing:
- What is happening/not happening?
- What happened that led to this issue appearing?
- When did you first notice this issue?
- Descriptions that help us to to reproduce the issue on our end very often result in quick fixes.
- Select Send to StreamElements
@dire epoch Did you figure it out eventually ?
@twin basalt Not at all. You can check their ideas page.
@tough frost waiting on Tadpole to discuss with devs on a fix for it
opr solution or something lol
Alright great, at least I know that I'm not the only one with this problem
@tough frost I was TERRIFIED it was just me haha. But i'm glad it's not just me too. Even though I'm bummed I can't stream now
I was actually really scared, but I guess we must wait now lol
@dire epoch @tough frost try uninstalling obslive
@hollow hearth should we re-install via Streamelements or just OBS.live?
see when i un installed obs.live it started workin
and then i intalled it agin and it stoped working
you are more than welcome to uninstall obs.live to test
please can you fill out the report form first
https://discordapp.com/channels/141203863863558144/494513233416421386/746752611356508241
so the SE devs can look into it
i allready did
@dire epoch I will let you test that out lol
STREAM ELEMENT LOYALTY POINTS NOT WORKING
okay plot twist @plain sonnet @hollow hearth ,now it says that my desktop/uninstaller.exe is not foudn
so I can't even uninstall it
My virus program flagged the installer download too....does that mean anything to you @plain sonnet
I did notice that when I first started up my program today, my virus program went off, catching something with malware
OOo
false positive, you can put obs (obs.live) on the ignore list and it should be ok
Also, when I try to run the installer, it says it's unable to open the file and I may not have the specified permissions @plain sonnet
when you download the installer, right click on the file and select run as admin
see if that works
Wow
I had an issue last night with streamelements, points weren't working and commands used were delayed as were notifications. This has only happened after i've updated OBSLive, is this a one of issue?
@dire epoch if you cant add obs or the installer to the whitelist on your av,
see if you can turn it off just while you install obs
@smoky fiber i had the same issue yesterday
@hollow hearth Im hoping its a one time thing xD
@plain sonnet uninstalled both and just obs and still not working, i wonder if a windows update has done something?
hmmm at this point it will be best to ask in the obs server
@primal tundra For the best OBS support, please join their Official Discord @ discord.gg/obsproject
if you can see it in the source preview then its working, maybe they know why its not going through to the main window
Just reinstalled OBS.Live and still nothing. Really wish StreamElements would be more on top of this issue. The Twitter account was literally no help whatsoever.
OBS Studio works just fine without the StreamElements OBS.Live plugin. When I uninstall OBS.Live, the overlays show up in Studio.

And if you try what the bot said above?
@cobalt gull I have the same issue. Overlays no longer working in OBS.
why? wtf lol
Hello, has anyone had issues with there overlays recently? Mine are no longer showing up in my OBS live. i have reset only thing i haven't done is uninstall and reinstall
Any word from SE team?
The bots solution worked for us
#helpdesk-selive anyone about right now?
Nevermind I read the above!
Works fine now 😄
so my streamdeck won't work with obslive for some reason. It when i try to play media request or show the widget on stream it will just show a triangle with an exclaimation mark on the button and nothing will happen
nvm i feel stupid. I just restarted the Streamdeck software and it works
which is weird because i literally just restarted my pc to try to solve this issue
Hello,
I have a problem with loading overlays from streamelements, everything has been working for 3 months and today they refuse to load 😕

Actually
Has anyone even found a solution for the stuttering camera glitch
So I have a problem the new update broke my browser overlay sources
nvm the problem was browser source hardware acceleration
I had to disable that
okay now I can change video settings because video ouput is active even though it is not
nvm I had to deactivate my virtual cam
OBS.live appears to be not bringing my overlay into discord as of today
tried reinstalling obs, overlay showed up. Installed live, no more overlays.
only changes to my system was a new GPU yesterday, not sure how or why that might affect overlays
Hey updated OBS live and all my alerts and overlays are not showing, Have logged in and out on everything and still no joy

Oh no I was referencing the people saying their overlays didnt' work
oh.
Thanks @tough frost ! @lean lark maybe ur using your camera from other apps.

That didnt make a difference
