Hello there. I'm attempting to use the Spitfire Static Super Them for Apex Legends and I can't seem to get my social media links to change. I am able to edit them in the overlay editor, but when I open it in OBS Live, they still say "Twitter" and "Instagram". Thank you for your help

It sounds like you're editing the layer names, not the actual text. Select the widget, open the Settings menu on the left, and change the text field there.

Yes! Thank you!

#

how do i add an overlay with kappagen in it

steel bladeBOT
#

@distant venture 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

waxen ledge

hi im having trouble figuring out a way to hear alerts through obs, can anyone help? when i go to my overlay editor(in chrome) i can hear it, and in the obs audio mixer i can see the sound activating but if the overlay editor is closed, then i cant hear it at all

kind mica
#

every other week my overlays seem to just stop working! in obs the info is all there but nothing is appearing, like i had turned it off yet i didn't

rugged quail
#

Do nested scenes have a performance hit? I'm using nested scenes for my camera and overlay, seems to be leading to dropped frames and I'm getting an encoder overloaded warning

tidal latch
#

Hey there, even after hard refreshing streamelements.com the webpage is just a blank white screen. What do I do?

steel bladeBOT
#

@tidal latch Our Dashboard and Overlay Editor are Chromium Optimized. We strongly recommend using Chrome. Opera GX and the new Microsoft Edge Chromium might work closest to Chrome as its also Chromium built. Firefox also works, but some things might look a bit different or not work. We do not recommend using Internet Explorer with our Dashboard as it does not support functions.
If the website doesn’t work on chrome, be sure none of your plugins are blocking our website or clear your cookies. You can try if the website works in a incognito tab.

final gate
#

Hi! so i just made a new alertbox and when i test it, the alert is cut off

somber island
#

I was disconnections from the server tonight, I believe it was due to dropped frames, can anyone take a look at my log or tell me what I might need to do?

steel bladeBOT
#

@somber island 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.

#

@final gate 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

slender bluff
#

hey i need help. obs is crashing every single time i open it, i was just streaming earlier today. everything is just white screened and no overlays are loading either

#

everything worked fine until i did an update for obs live and now not a single thing is working

#

none of my overlay links are working now.

steel bladeBOT
#

@slender bluff 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?

  1. Repeat steps 1 and 2
  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
  3. 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.

Everytime I start my stream it keeps showing the incorrect game

#

@leaden halo Do not post in multiple channels!
The issue you are describing most likely stems from this option:

#

If this doesn't help, then its best to ask in the OBS discord

Ok thank u

#

@midnight sorrel Does it happen every time?

Every time

It's caused my stream to get mistagged multiple times when starting the stream

Browser sources aren't appearing on screen. I can hear the sound of my alerts but nothing pops up. I tried making an OBS default browser source but the placeholder image doesn't show. Reloaded the overlays, nothing happened. Anyone knows why?

downloaded obs.live addon and now obs wont open/ crashes. ive uninstalled and rebooted multiple times

long bobcat
#

type in what you were gonna say @acoustic schooner also please paste the line about the new overlay

acoustic schooner
#

i moved over from streamlabs to stream elements, created an overlay on the streamelements website. added it as a browser source to obs.live in my scene, closed out the program.

today, when i went to go live, my overlay wasnt showing, and obs crashed. now obs/obs.live wont open.
ive uninstalled and reinstalled and rebooted my machine multiple times

#

im currently using normal obs studio and it runs fine, but as soon as i download and install the obs.live add on it crashes again

steel bladeBOT
#

@acoustic schooner A crash log is required to investigate the cause of your issue. Please upload the last crash log.

  1. In OBS, click the Help menu
  2. Select Crash Reports and then Upload Last Crash Report
  3. Copy the URL and paste it to the chat here.

Note: If you are not able to follow the above steps, open your file explorer and go here: %appdata%\obs-studio\crashes and provide the last listed file.

long bobcat
#

next time it happens or when you wanna replicate, install etc, make sure same issue happens, and when it does follow THIS

acoustic schooner
#

ok one second

long bobcat
#

take your time :DDD
it's probably unrelated but I'm just curious, do you still have SLOBS installed?

acoustic schooner
#

no i uninstalled that before moving over

long bobcat
#

and is it specifically crashing when adding an overlay? or when going live?
i mean when did you notice the overlay wasn't showing? browser source was still there and visible?

acoustic schooner
#

it doesnt even open when the .live add on is installed

#

and in normal obs it works as intended

long bobcat
hallow smelt
#

is there a way to turn off the view count on the activity feed Dock in OBs?

long bobcat
#

so it doesn't even open? hope the crashlog will show something

#

@hallow smelt what do you mean? what view count?

#

the bottom right one?

hallow smelt
#

Yes

long bobcat
#

not that I'm aware of, let me confirm

hallow smelt
#

That would be awesome since there is no other method to view the donations if used with streamelements and i dont want to constantly watch my view count

acoustic schooner
#

where can i pulled the crash log if its not opening

long bobcat
#

Note: If you are not able to follow the above steps, open your file explorer and go here: %appdata%\obs-studio\crashes and provide the last listed file. @acoustic schooner

#

I don't think it's possible @hallow smelt I kinda think the general preferences is to see the viewers in the activity feed
but I'm checking

hallow smelt
#

okay thank you!

long bobcat
#

@hallow smelt soooo turns out I can't see :DDDD

#

if you go to your activity feed settings, above 'hotkeys' you should see a toggle switch for 'Show viewers count' MonkaS

#

weirdLeave @hallow smelt kinda feel like deleting my previous reply KEKW

#

no problem but i dont get where this setting is 7752_PepePOOGERSFAST

@long bobcat okay got it, thank you so much!!

long bobcat
#

thank YOU KEKWDISCO I missed it and now I'm more aware danucdPRAY

hallow smelt
#

Im sure this option wasnt a thing a month ago

acoustic schooner
#

i fixed it @long bobcat i ran the program compatibility troubleshooter

#

latest crash report if that helps

steel bladeBOT
#

@acoustic schooner 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/

#

it opens up @acoustic schooner ? try to go live too

acoustic schooner
#

i did a test stream, obs live is working correctly, now im cant get my browser source to work xD @long bobcat

long bobcat
#

alright that's progress nonetheless :D
explain though. what do you see? browser source visible? all saved?
did you go over them first if they're imported?

acoustic schooner
#

all brand new scenes, i see my camera, and the image i have. it captures game.
when i add a new browser source to add in my overlay its just black

steel bladeBOT

was it working before btw? or is this the first time you're doing this? i assume first since obs.live wasn't launching?

#

first time. and follow those instructions above its still jhjsut black

Please do not share the overlay url. This can be used to breach your account.

Hey guys, I just finsihed my move from Streamlabs/SLOBS to Streamelements/OBS.live for several reasons, so far everything is going great but I do miss ONE thing... in SLOBS there is a feature calles "In-Game Overlay" which let you display chat and recent events on top of your game - since I only have one screen at the moment this was really useful - is there a way to do the same in OBS.live like an add-on or an option I did miss somewhere? Thanks for your help 🙂

Hey all! So I'm very new to streaming and I just purchased a theme package from OWN3D and I'm wondering how I can import those files to start making my overlays. Is there a good tutorial for that?

#

I should mention I'm trying to do this on the cloud so they're always available like if I'm traveling.

#

So SE website.

#

Hey, does anyone know how to stream cs on obs?
I have tried all the guides in forums and everything but I still can t stream it because of the black screen that appears instead of the gameplay.

brittle gazelle
#

Might be a source selection issue...

steel bladeBOT
#

@stable hornet Valve has implemented a trusted mode which does not allow OBS to hook CS:GO using Game Capture. Read more in their announcement post here https://blog.counter-strike.net/index.php/2020/07/30736/.

Additionally, they have no plans on allowing OBS in trusted mode.
https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=8835-KLXV-0292#whitelist

You will need to run the game in either windowed or borderless fullscreen and use Window Capture instead.
Alternately, you can launch the game with -allow_third_party_software.

@drifting charm 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

hello i'm trying to get my overlay working on my stream but i don't know how. i stream on xbox

#

any help is appreciated

steel bladeBOT
#

@burnt patrol Consoles do not have native support for overlays. You would need a capture card, PS4 remote play or Xbox companion app and a PC with OBS in order to have overlays over your console gameplay.
We have an blog post about how to setup console streaming with our essential tools: https://blog.streamelements.com/how-to-stream-on-console-7b620b1c46c3

Will using more than one alert box active make all alerts stop working? I wanted to have alerts pop up in different areas of the screen so I tried setting them as alternate overlays 1 for host 1 for follow etc.

#

Hey SE, how do you bring up the menu on the right where you would be able to update stream information? I accidentally closed it off

#

Not the activity feed tab on the left, it was one that was on the right hand side where you could edit the stream info

sudden jackal
#

top bar> display> dock

#

thanks

#

^^

heavy knot
#

hmm still seems to be gone entirely for me, weird

#

so at the top there's something called view

#

and there's Docks

#

all apart from stats are checked

sudden jackal
#

what exactly are you looking for?

heavy knot
#

on the right there used to be something to update the game information on the fly.

sudden jackal
#

that of twitch or that of streamelements?

heavy knot
#

streamelements obs

#

like, you can do it on activity feed but what i mean this was a seperate panel on the right where it always was there

#

and the activity feed was on the left

sudden jackal
#

ok

heavy knot
#

activity feed showed followers, and the game information on the right would let me change the title of what game i was streaming

#

and update it on twitch on the fly

sudden jackal
heavy knot
#

yeah

#

It's just disappeared for me

sudden jackal
#

top bar > view > docks > stream information

heavy knot
#

it's not listed

#

don't know how i accidentally deleted it

#

there must be like a url i'll have to add it manually again

#

as a custom dock

steel mural
#

No. In Settings > Stream
Disconnect and connect again

sudden jackal
#

did you connect your twitch to obs?

heavy knot
#

yeah

#

Must of accidentally disconnected

#

in the obs parameters, reconnect

#

all fixed

#

#

also, that was fast reaction emojis

must have a streamdeck binded to do that 😂

@plain mason you are making me hungry

sudden jackal
steel bladeBOT
#

@sudden jackal 1) Right click on your OBS desktop shortcut and open the Properties
2) In the Target field, add the following to the very end: --remote-debugging-port=40404
3) Open OBS (or restart if it was open)
4) Open your web browser and type in: localhost:40404
5) Click on StreamElements - Activity feed
6) Navigate to the Console tab
7) Type the following into the console and hit enter: store.customBot.removeCustomBotIntegration()
8) Try setting the custom bot name
9) Remove the additional flag in step 2 from your shortcut properties.

OK I test her ^^

I just added a new overlay with a recent tips scroll element, as soon as the names reach the top of the element the scroll resets and you do not see people further down. is there a way to activate infinite scroll?

gilded spoke

also how the text elements look are different within OBS compared to the stream elements editor, font style and outline looks different in OBS?

#

Can you add multiple alert boxes. So you could have alerts come up in different areas of your screen rather than just the middle for example?

Does anyone know if it is possible with OBS Live to pull up the chat/alerts in separate window that stay visible when OBS is minimized

#

?

autumn trout
#

Hey, I apologize if my searching was bad, but I tried to find an answer first. How do I disable the chat window from popping out in OBS whenever I engage a raid? It never did this prior to a month or so ago (to the best of my knowledge, I just dealt with it) but now I'd like to fix it. Previously, it would simply change the normal stream chat dock to the new streams chat.

I woke up this morning and attempted to update a overlay that I use every day (i change the date on it) and I now realize that infact - NONE of my overlays are working in OBS this morning at all. Not sure why, I've saved the overlay and re-added the link and yea, none of them are working. I'm signed in to SteamElements, Twitch, and OBS ( I do not use or run anything else but OBS to stream)

restart obs and if it doesnt come up, try refreshing the cache of a browser source. if it doesnt show then try a pc restart

My Bots are no longer working in OBSlive i recently installed the better ttv into Obslive.

steel bladeBOT

@frosty summit 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

@young talon 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

So question on obs.live as well as the streamelements alert/overlays. I got everything in the right position and I can hear the sounds of the files I uploaded but the stream cannot hear the alert sounds I put in stream elements overlay. Anything I have to do to allow the stream to hear it?

With the recent hardware acceleration issues just to see stream elements browser stuff, Ive lost access to one of my other extensions. The other extension is sound alerts and will run if I check hardware acceleration. But that causes my browser on stream elements to go away.

Is this a recent issue that has just cropped up? I used to not have any problems with this.

How can I adjust party chat sometimes they talk over my microphone or when I am having heart to heart with chat? Using streamelements obs live. Xbox

steel bladeBOT
#

@tame escarp 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

long bobcat
#

@cobalt flame you're mentioning audio routing stuff. Basically it depends on your setup. Not necessarily something that should be done in OBS specifically

#

for example I use voicemeeter banana and I can mute discord when needed. You can also 'Deafen' on Discord if you wanna mute it completely

#

it takes some research though, that's general advice

cobalt flame
#

@long bobcat well I mean just xbox party chat, not all the people I play with use discord. Does voicemeeter banana have settings to lower xbox party chat?

long bobcat
#

Are you listening to party by connecting to the controller? Or with xbox app?

cobalt flame
#

controller hooked to my xbox

long bobcat
#

I suggest you find someone that understands about streaming with xbox in general, or even google it
because we don't really look into individual setups, we try to help out with anything and we're here for any SE issue

#

From short research it seems it would be better to use the xbox app for party audio

#

with that setup you can use the pc with voicemeeter to control Discord's volume

#

but again - that's in general and you gotta do the research yourself to figure it out

cobalt flame
#

thanks for reaching out @long bobcat, yeah i was looking around on google couldn't find anything really. will ask a few people that use the xbox good idea thanks!

So question on obs.live as well as the streamelements alert/overlays. I got everything in the right position and I can hear the sounds through the stream PC of the alerts I uploaded but the stream cannot hear the alert sounds. Literally just added browser source and everything else works. Anything I have to do to allow the stream to hear the alerts?

prime basalt
#

@violet current double click browser source, make sure obs can control audio. Then in edit > advanced audio properties, set that source to monitor and output if you want to hear it as well as stream, or monitor off if you want just stream to hear it

ok

@lethal hedge 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

Is there a way to go back to an old version of obs live? The newest update killed my OBS so hard that it crashes multiple programs and obs itself every 20-30 minutes.

steel bladeBOT
#

@ebon terrace A crash log is required to investigate the cause of your issue. Please upload the last crash log.

  1. In OBS, click the Help menu
  2. Select Crash Reports and then Upload Last Crash Report
  3. Copy the URL and paste it to the chat here.

Note: If you are not able to follow the above steps, open your file explorer and go here: %appdata%\obs-studio\crashes and provide the last listed file.

there is only one crash report although it crashed 3 times.
but yeah, i updated obs live 3-4 hours ago and since then I have those crashes.

@ebon terrace I'd recommend by starting with a clean reinstallation of your GPU drivers using a tool like DDU.

My Media Request music echos when I hit "Show on stream" Is there a fix for that?

steel bladeBOT

@rose tapir 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

rose tapir
#

The echo is fixed, and now when I click "Show On Stream" it plays and the widget works for 3 seconds and then disappears and Media request says "No active widgets were detected for media request"

#

deleted the widget from my overlay and added it back on, and now it doesn't even show on the stream for 3 seconds like it did before, just gives the error message again.

devout mason
#

can a se.staff member please get back to me on the category not updating issue please whenever you can

warm sigil
#

Yeah, I'm not familiar with the ins and outs of the OBS.Live commands, sorry. Does the chat command work for it?

devout mason
#

i dont use a chat command i have a side panel that i use to control my game category and the title and stuff but my game category isnt changing

steel bladeBOT
devout mason
#

As you can see on the right my category is under one game but on the left it shows I’m playing a different one

tulip hamlet
#

That panel on the right is OBS Studio's Twitch integration, not ours.

Hey everyone! I have a couple of problems, and I was looking for some help: First problem I have is that, during my stream, my StreamElements animated overlay (Force Field on the Overlay Gallery) freezes. There's no animation, notifications don't show, and there's no way to "reset" the overlay unless I restart OBS. Oddly enough, it only happens in OBS Live, and not on StreamLabs OBS. Is there a way to avoid the overlay freezing on OBS?

And the last question I have is, how do I add the Loyalty Points Store Redemption widget? I'm looking for the code on my StreamElements Dashboard, but can't seem to find it.

Thank you Mrs Bot Lady. Hopefully that fixes the freezing issues. What about the Store Redemption widget? How do I add it to my OBS scene?

I was just streaming, and when I received a follow, only the audio for the follow played. The video didn't appear, no matter what I did. I tried to go to the Streamelements Overlay Editor, but I received an "Invalid Authorization Token" notification. How can I fix this?

@latent bay OBS > Settings > Advanced > Scroll down > Enable or disable Browser Source Hardware Acceleration, depending on its current state > Restart OBS (This does not apply for OBS on Mac)

#

@latent bay 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

The first one helped. Thank you very much!

Any ideas why I'm having major lag issues since the last update I thought it was just the alerts not working but now the stream is frozen to

I did this to fix the alerts. Should I do it again to try and fix the lag?

rugged quail
#

@steel blade I don't know how to get the overlay to the app, i got the link coppied but see nowhere to paste it

steel bladeBOT
#

@rugged quail To add your overlays to OBS, add a new browser source in your scene. Paste your overlay URL in the browser source properties, set the dimensions to 1920x1080 (unless you changed them on the website) and check Shutdown source when not visible. https://youtu.be/KDvLynUqXI4

plain mason
#

@edgy basin you can test it (disable or enable).

steel bladeBOT
#

@edgy basin 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+.

another procedure to try...

#

I have to register a 2nd twitch account if I want to customize the name of my Streamelements bot in OBS Live?

shy mountain
#

Yes

latent rivet
#

Darn

#

So after I register the second account with the name, what do I do after that?

rugged quail
#

@steel blade I cant upload my alert package into the alert box, how do i do this

shy mountain
#

@latent rivet check the video again 🙂

#

@rugged quail where is the alert package from?

rugged quail
#

from nerd or die

shy mountain
#

They should have an install file that installs the package directly into your account with us.

rugged quail
#

so how do i install it into the alertbox

shy mountain
#

Its already "installed"

steel bladeBOT

@rugged quail To add your overlays to OBS, add a new browser source in your scene. Paste your overlay URL in the browser source properties, set the dimensions to 1920x1080 (unless you changed them on the website) and check Shutdown source when not visible. https://youtu.be/KDvLynUqXI4

rugged quail
#

but when i add alert box into a scene, none of the alert animations or sounds are there to pick

steel bladeBOT
#

@rugged quail 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

rugged quail
#

i can only get the ones i paid for, when i open the specific file on your website

#

like when i add an alertbox to a scene, these wont pop up\

Hi there! I am not sure if I am using the right channel, apologies if this is the case.

I am currently setting up my StreamElements overlay using the manager, trying to change my alerts. I keep seeing the wrong image when do a test alert. You can see in the top left I am using a different file than the one showing up when I test it.. How can I fix this?

Thank you for your time and help bluehearts

#

hi, i'm completely new to StreamElements and youtube tutorials keep saying to click the "launch overlay" button but i can't seem to find it. i'm really sorry for bothering. this is what my overlay editing window looks like.

sage loom
#

@cyan thistle on the top Right before the preview button there is a link where you can find the Browser Source for your overlay. You can load that into OBS by adding a browser source to your scene and pasting that link in 🙂 I hope that helps

#

top right ** sorry

cyan thistle
#

hi! @sage loom thank you for responding! i did that too but the overlay doesn't show up still. i'm sorry i'm completely new at this i need all the help i can get. thanks again, really appreciate it. ( :

shy mountain
#

@sage loom did you check variations?

#

@cyan thistle are you having trouble finding the overlay link?

cyan thistle
#

oh no, i can see the overlay link and i know where to copy it. i just can't get the overlay to show up on obs. ) : @shy mountain

#

this is what keeps happening and i've tried various overlays already

thank you! sorry again

#

i've figured it out thanks

sage loom
#

@shy mountain ahhhh I think that was it.. Thank you so much... Still getting the hang of this!

#

it works perfect now.. awesome 🙂 Everyday we learn something new!

#

@cyan thistle do you have your OBS set up correctly? I can't really tell on your screenshot. for example I have mine set up like this, my screen is 2560x1440 resolution but I stream at a lower resolution. Once you have set that you can then set your Browser scene to the right resolution to then make it fit

#

I think you will see your overlay show up then once it is in place

#

but make sure to set your base canvas the same as your computer screen resolution, dont copy mine as you seem to have a different one 😉

daring olive
#

So I stream from a ps4 but I did want to get alerts and overlays do I have to be logged onto the pc in order to do the overlays or can I still be on the ps4?

prime basalt
#

You can't stream direct from ps4 AND use overlays

steel bladeBOT
#

@daring olive Consoles do not have native support for overlays. You would need a capture card, PS4 remote play or Xbox companion app and a PC with OBS in order to have overlays over your console gameplay.

oblique root
#

how do i add blur effect to cam feed

latent rivet
#

Also, for the Media Player sound source, would that come from 'Desktop Audio' in the sound mixer, or would it be from my overlay itself?

sinful flint
#

@latent rivet You can set the Resolution/FPS Type to Custom in the Video Capture Device's properties window and then type in the Resolution manually that you want the camera to be. The Media Request widget's sound is coming from the overlay itself

#

@oblique root There are some filters that you can apply to the Video Capture Device source by right clicking on the source and selecting Filter, then add the filter you want. Alternatively, you can use software which alters the camera and then select that software as the source instead of selecting the camera directly

getting frustrated... every other time i load up obs.. my commands wont work.. or only some work

#

and currently the only command that works is songrequest

latent rivet
#

Can I make the same webcam/source different sizes on my scenes? I want one scene to have it as a 4:3 and I want my other scenes to have it as 1920x1080

grizzled heron
#

edit transform > 1920x1080 buddy

latent rivet
#

But will that be specific to one screen? becauseit keeps changing it on all of them

grizzled heron
#

when you make the 2 scenes.. instead of using a new webcam source.. just use the same one

#

it shouldnt do that

#

cause ihave the same thing. my game stream is 4:3 and my chat screen is like half my stream

latent rivet
#

I'm trying to do that but it keeps changing all of them

#

I'm using the same source

#

but it doesn't let me individually alter my camera size on each scene

grizzled heron
#

lemme pull mine up real quick

#

@latent rivet what filters do you have on your webcam.. i put a scaling and aspect on mine and it lets me individually controll them.. the 2 scenes shouldnt communicate like they are

latent rivet
#

No filters on @grizzled heron

#

Let me try the scaling & aspect

#

That doesn't work

#

it just squishes it lol

#

Also, now the audio that is coming through my headphones is the audio from my capture card that's hooked up to my xbox --- not from the scenes that I'm listening to in OBS lol

#

My headphones are plugged into my microphone

grizzled heron
#

Hmm.. that’s odd that it’s not working for you. I’ve had that issue before but it just started working for me like a few weeks ago and hasn’t given me any problems. Maybe try rebuilding each source page?

latent rivet
#

I've tried removing & readding the source itself and the scenes are still all linked for some reason

#

I looked in the settings to see if there was some kind of universal-control feature that was enabled but I didn't find anything

wintry lion
#

hey my media request interface on obs live wont show any options and its just a blank color

latent rivet
#

I'm so confused with my audio too lol

#

how is the capture card audio coming through my headphones, which are connected to my microphone? both my capture card and microphone are added as sources in OBS, but I'm not on that scene right now

grizzled heron
#

@latent rivet open advanced audio controls and make sure you don’t have monitor and output set

#

I think it should just be on monitor only

latent rivet
#

all of my Audio Monitoring tracks say 'Monitor Off'

#

is that what you mean?

#

or where are the advanced audio controls/where could I find them

winter hinge
#

Why would my alerts not always be playing to the end? I can have the exact same alert play for say, a sub, in a row. The first time it won't play til the end - will cut off abruptly. The second time or third time or whatever it will play through til the end

grizzled heron
#

Yeah that’s what I meant ... hmm.. that’s the only thing I could think of in terms of cap card stuff. I’ve never used one

latent rivet
#

I have to add my capture card as a Video source -- so for the audio, should I set it as 'Output desktop audio (waveout)'?

#

that's what a video online said to do but I have no idea why lol

#

Me either..meee either lmao

#

#

okay i deleted the CC source & readded it but now I can't hear it at all

#

#

fair enough

#

who is in charge here that knows what they're doing and can help me lOL

How do I restart the goal that was an old one from awhile back

@turbid arch 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.

Hello again. When I play my media request on stream, I get double feedback on it -- as in I hear it playing twice

@latent rivet 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

@fathom roost Sometimes it can take a couple of tries on the Retry button. If not, try restarting your computer before trying again.

Why can't I hear my media request overlays?

#

Okay, I can hear them if I do not have the 'Control audio in OBS' clicked; however, when I do a test recording they don't show up/I can't hear them, even though they're playing fine & I can hear them outside of recording

#

ALso, how do I get rid of the black bar above the media request videos? When I try to resize it in streamelements the black bar is always there 😦

Why is the overlay scrren cropped?

steel bladeBOT
#

@snow iris 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 want to record audio from Risk Of Rain 2, and Discord... both dont work...

#

Can you have browser sources in streamelements, so that I only have 1 unified in obs?

rugged quail
#

i fixed it: appareently my obs relied on its volume being NOT muted

kindred fox
#

@ember lichen yes

#

That’s what happens when you use streamelements

#

@rugged quail what is risk of rain? And is your discord output the same as your game audio? If they are, then you want to add that audio output to obs

ember lichen
#

I cant find where to add browser source from the streamelements overlay

steel bladeBOT
#

@ember lichen 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

ember lichen
#

@kindred fox Where do I add browser source in the stream elements overlay? I cant find the option

kindred fox
#

You add it in obs

#

You build your overlay via the website to contain the elements you want, then paste the URL for the overlay into obs

steel bladeBOT
ember lichen
#

What I mean is, can I add browser sources to the overlay I am creating in stream elements?

kindred fox
#

Like what?

#

What are you trying to do? Let’s start there

I want to add a browser source to the stream elements overlay maker.

It is not possible. What do you want to do?

#

What browser source are you wanting to add?

#

A third party one, outside of streamelements alerts and widgets

I figure there is no feature for that yet

@latent rivet controlling the audio is just controlling the audio in the OBS audio mixer

As long as your media request widget is added to the overlay it will show up

#

Make sure you check the box for shutdown when not visible

Guys how to make obs HD

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

help me how to get viewers count in streamelements

shy mountain
#

Activity feed dock -> burger menu icon -> stream settings -> toggle for viewer count

spare steeple
#

I set up a super theme overlay and it's only outputting part of the theme to when I add the link to OBS. On the top left I have webcam border and followers and on the top right I have socials, and only the top left items are in the overlay when I put the link into OBSlive as a browser source. Also, the overlay is not the same size as the canvas, it's just the corner of the canvas I was working on and thus I have to resize it weirdly to get those two items to even work right.

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

  1. Make a new overlay in the editor, ONLY add the Media Request widget.
  2. Add a new browser source in OBS, add the URL and set the dimensions correctly.
  3. Tick the box for Control audio via OBS https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/712428275049431120/716618713998033047/unknown.png
  4. 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

  1. For this you will need a VAC (use command !vac).
  2. Run your MR either in Chrome or in Ground Control (use command !gc). Note: Do NOT click on SHOW ON STREAM.
  3. Set Chrome or GC in the VAC as an audio input and output.
  4. 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

Hi just a question, is there a way to import scene collections to streamelements instead of manually recreating scenes one by one? I tried using the import overlay when importing from SLOBS, but I get an error if I include "Import Overlays". It only becomes successful if I import Alerts and Tips

fiery parrot
#

I think with slobs you have to save your scene collection as a .json file and then you can import it into obs

round nest
#

im having the same issue as ramram how do you save it as a .json file

#

i dont wanna have to start over with the design

celest flume
#

When I choose to play games in Obs Program, I cannot see the game. Any help? I am Turkish. I use translate

#

Help ?

steel bladeBOT
#

@celest flume 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+.

fiery parrot

Got the alerts working but when someone raids me and hosts me it is not showing period on my stream

steel bladeBOT
#

@fiery parrot 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.

fiery parrot
#

most of the times it is actual hosts with more than 1 viewer

#

and it is not showing at all

I did as you said, but again there is only a black screen, I adjusted the game capture to fit the screen, it did not happen again, how can I find a solution
