barren cedar

I'm having a problem where Streamelements crashes my computer.
I've tried:
-having my PC hardware checked. nothing is overheating and its not a hardware problem.
-uninstalling and reinstalling Streamelements
-wiping drivers and reinstalling
-checking RAM
I dont know what else to do.

distant estuary
#

I need a little help here, i streamed yesterday and every things was fine like any other day, but today i can't launch the application. it automatically crash at the same time and nothing has changed on my PC since yesterday. any ideas

distant estuary
#

well i figured something out and its the add-ons ( being able to see the alerts and the chat feed ) that is making the program crash. i had it running and the moment i added obs.live add-ons it crashed

#

still need help though

queen pagoda
#

streamelements has super themes in 720p?

shy mountain
#

@barren cedar have you uninstalled obs.live and ran like that to see if your PC crashes?

steel bladeBOT
#

@distant estuary 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.
shy mountain
#

@queen pagoda you can edit the superthemes to be 720p

#

hey, is there any way to go back 1 step? for example at streamlabs you can press STRG+Z to go back 1 step if you mess up something. i cant find a function like that in that program

shy mountain
#

In the overlay editor, yes.
In OBS in general - no

humble kayak
#

i do work with some lokal text files. there is no way to do that online on streamelements right?

shy mountain
#

If you mean manipulating the text files within OBS

#

afaik, no

Hello, i have problem with obslive. When i make game capture its only black screen. I tried so many things to fix it but i couldnt

agile fulcrum
#

Hello,

I have experienced that for a long time, changing the game I am streaming from the OBS.live add-on to OBS Studio does not indeed change the game. I have to manually do it myself. The title is changed, however.

Additionally, once I make some changes to the stream and click the SAVE button at the bottom, I press the back arrow to return to the default screen on OBS.live, it says I have unsaved changes. Clicking SAVE or DON'T doesn't seem to alter the problem above.

Both OBS Studio and OBS.live are updated to latest, I am on Windows 10, also updated.

Hello eeryone.
I'm having an issue when recording game play with a capture card. The "video capture device" input will flash black at random times in obs.live preview and on recordings.

@next pier If you are having issues with Elgato hardware or software, we recommend reaching out to their support here: https://e.lga.to/help

Thanks but unfortunately it's not Elgato it's a cheap one shipped from China. Does it sound like an issue with the hardware rather than obs.live? Just looking for some opinions before I replace it

I have an issue with the .live plugin crashing my OBS. I was able to uninstall the plugin and run OBS just fine. Reinstalled .live and it crashes again so I know what the problem is, is this a fixable issue?
I considered reinstalling OBS but that would mean setting up all my scenes again and I'd like to avoid that if at all possible. I put a lot of work into them.

How do i add overlays to my stream

steel bladeBOT
#

@teal sandal 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 just want to confirm that creating a backup of my scene collection, deleting my browser overlays and then downloading obs.live does not crash my application. but then i have no overlays and when i add the overlays back things dont work.

I'm using a laptop so I have 2 GPUs. That makes a problem that I cannot switch between game and any other screen (like an internet browser) in an ongoing stream since first I have to switch OBS to run on integrated GPU. Is there any way to fix this? I want to be able to stream game and non-game content in one stream.

tardy night
#

I have an event list going down with the text being aligned to the left (on the left side of my screen). If I wanted to move it to the right, and make the text align to the right, how would I do that? I tried duplicating the overlay on the StreamElements website, but it just gives it the same link. I think with it having the same link, the second alert box (aligned to the right, on the right side of the screen) doesn't work. Any help? Sorry if I didn't describe it well. Would I straight up have to make a whole new overlay rather than duping it?

frozen jewel
#

After installing OBS.live my obs crashes almost instantly and non of the web content loads (chat, stream info etc). I've tried reinstall, uninstalling, disabling firewall and av. only thing in crashlog is the browser -obs-browser.dll!thread_start<unsigned int (__cdecl*)(void *),1>+0x50 Any ideas?

#

sorry for the late response.. here is the log file from tonight.. same issue when wired in I got to 0/kbps when wireless strea mstays alive

fallen fulcrum
#

Should I be using the browser capture for the alert box?

kindred fox
#

@fallen fulcrum yes

steel bladeBOT
#

@fiery cape Please post a link to your current log file.
In OBS select Help > Log Files > Upload Current Log File. Copy the URL and paste it here.

fallen fulcrum
#

Alright, any reason it should be only seeing the far left corner of it?

steel bladeBOT
#

@fallen fulcrum 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

fallen fulcrum
#

Right, thanks

kindred fox
#

@fiery oxide thatโ€™s pulling your local twitch settings. Whatever region you have set on twitchโ€™s website is why your chat is in German. Change your default language on twitch is my first suggestion.

#

@tardy night when you duplicate an overlay, it creates a new URL. You need to copy/paste the new URL into a new scene in obs.

fiery cape
#

This is the log file from when the stream dropped to 0/kbps. Internet was still active and running. This has happened repeatedly over the last couple of weeks. I have tried to fix it a few ways but o no luck. When I go wireless I lose kbps but the stream never just drops to 0 and stays there

Capture card audio going on and off plus cant hear myself on stream either, any suggestions?

woeful shoal
#

So I've just got a 2560x1440 monitor for gaming after running a 1920x1080 and I feel like my stream is more pixelated now. Running a i9 9900k and RTX 2080. Is there any special settings to enhance 1440p downscaling?

steel bladeBOT
#

@woeful shoal 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

rugged quail
#

@woeful shoal Bigger is not always better.

I found that down-sizing my output to 720p I was able to increase the quality of the stream by tweaking the settings. Here's mine for you to try out.

Best of Luck.

Quick question guys, just used one of your templates and I was testing out the chat. Is there a way to clear this? And show the time stamp? How could I also restart the timer for the Stream starting scene?

@queen pagoda this where it comes a lil sketchy when it comes to the cames

#

you will not find wwarzone as warzone is Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare in the category

#

when you add that it will show warzone picture

late furnace
#

i see what youre doing

#

youre doing in an overlay widget

#

it should work as that is the correct way to get call of duty category

for warzone

@fickle vault there is a noise suppression you can add to it on the cog wheel on the mic and go to advance properties and add it there?

#

not noise suppression but they have a lot of filters you can add

but i do believe it is something else making it echo tbh

shrewd orchid

#

Set the size of your canvas the same as streaming output dimensions

shrewd orchid
#

how do i do that? lol

pallid parrot
#

Adjust your sizes and output resolution in OBS

shrewd orchid
#

that doesnt mean much to me...im a noob at all this

pallid parrot
#

No worries

#

Go to File => Settings => Video and make sure that Canvas size is the size of your screen and scaled/output size is the same or lower resolution

shrewd orchid
#

๐Ÿคฃ

pallid parrot
#

Can you show me the screen of your main OBS window? Is it fullscreen there?

#

As those above seem correct

shrewd orchid
pallid parrot
#

Oh...

#

Go to preferences of that browser source

#

And change dimensions there to 1920x1080

shrewd orchid
#

on stream elements?

pallid parrot
#

Nope. In OBS

#

"Browser" in the "Sources"

shrewd orchid
#

i see properties but not prefrences

pallid parrot
#

Also rename it to something like Starting - Browser (so you don't have "Browser" "Browser 2" later)

#

Right. Properties

#

And set dimensions there to 1920x1080

#

And after that when you save changes there, select browser (single click on it) and hit CTRL+F

shrewd orchid
#

I almost had it before just not the crtl+f part

Hey everyone! Since I started using an animated overlay from streamelements and the streamelements obs, I noticed HUGE fps drops, shuttering etc, that makes the whole gaming/streaming experience unbearable. Can anyone help? (I will provide settings and stuff)

steel bladeBOT
#

@celest mulch 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.

celest mulch
pallid parrot
#

@celest mulch

The log contains an Auto-Config Wizard run. Results of this analysis are therefore inaccurate. Please post a link to a clean log file.
To make a clean log file, please follow these steps:

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. Send that link via this troubleshooting tool or whichever support chat you are using.

celest mulch
#

Should I change anything else?

pallid parrot
#

This should be enough I think

celest mulch
#

Is it normal to get so many drops and so much shuttering, just because of the browser acceleration?

pallid parrot
#

This is the second issue that happened today with playing video files via browser source

#

And previous one got fixed by disabling hardware acceleration

celest mulch
#

Now that I disabled it, just by leaving it open without streaming or recording, it instantly dropped my in game fps by 50

#

I'm playing overwatch, and before I disabled hardware acceleration, I had 90fps, and once OBS restarted (I did 1 more restart to run it as admin), it dropped my fps to 40

mellow glacier
#

How do i add music?

vernal drum
#

@mellow glacier add desktop audio but everything other than your music has to be muted

celest mulch
#

any chance for someone to help me with the hardware acceleration problem, or should I just format my pc? ๐Ÿ˜„

random thorn

Hey, so how do I make this show the whole game screen? It worked before but I canโ€™t remember how to do it.

steel mural
#

Ctrl+F

random thorn
#

Thatโ€™s not working

steel mural
#

You have to highlight the source in your sources box first

#

Highlight = click it once

random thorn
#

I figured it out now. I just right clicked and went to resize output and it sorted it. Thanks though ๐Ÿ™‚

steel mural
#

That's not a proper fix. Like not at all. You just changed the settings in "Settings -> Output". This will cause problems with Twitch/YouTube, our overlays etc. @random thorn

random thorn
#

Ooh ๐Ÿ˜ฎ

steel mural
#

Not to be rude but a general rule of thumb: If you don't know what it does, don't touch it.

#

Please go to "Settings -> Output" and show me a screenshot of that window. And please not a picture from your phone.

#

random thorn
#

This is my first time using this version of OBS, I was using the other one before and no issues

It's probably just a small setting that has to be changed

#

Ahh, any ideas what it could be?

steel mural
random thorn
#

I'm sorry ๐Ÿ˜›

steel mural
#

There are two things I can think of

random thorn
steel mural
#

Hmm looks good.
In your "Sources" box, unlock the "Game Capture" and try Ctrl + F again. And make sure it's highlighted like the "Window Capture" in your screenshot

random thorn
#

Nothing

steel mural
random thorn
#

No, it's just a black screen

#

I turned everything off show too

steel mural
#

I think you hid the source. Unlocking it shouldn't hide it

random thorn
#

It won't even let me remove anything for me to re add

steel mural
#

Do you mind if we move this to DMs to have a quick TeamViewer / AnyDesk session? I'd like to take a look at it in person ๐Ÿ˜„

#

Hi there, hopefully I've posted this in the correct channel. I'm wondering if anyone can advise on this.
I few weeks ago, my Twitch channel was spammed by 155 unwanted bot follows. I used the CommanderRoot Twitch Tools to remove all the unwanted follows from my account.
However, I have just went to setup a follower goal overlay in my Stream Elements account and noticed it is reporting an inaccurate current follower count. I presume this is somehow being picking all the deleted followers, but am not sure from where.
My true follower count is 73, but stream elements sees 221.
Appreciate any advice at all. Thank you.

random thorn
#

@random thorn I asked cause Iโ€™m trying to figure out how to use it since your using it figured you can help me
@cerulean sorrel ahh, Iโ€™m really new to it and still trying to figure everything out ๐Ÿ™ˆ

plain mason
kindred fox
#

Also make sure youโ€™re using the correct widget. Goals and counts are not the same thing. A goal is always going to increase from zero because you have yet to reach it. A count is a tally of existing things (in this case subscribers)

zinc schooner
#

@plain mason @kindred fox Thank you both very much for the quick replies. I shall try the part/join chat bot first, as that sounds like a good shout. As although I wasn't fully using stream elements at the time of the bot follows, I did have the chat bot enabled - which likely saw the activity and tallied the follows. And as Orsuma has pointed out, the goals will naturally grow.
Hopefully the part/join chat bot technique will cause it to forget the fake follows. ๐Ÿ™‚

Hi. I had mediarequests working fine the past couple of days. Opened my stream today and getting "NO ACTIVE WIDGETS WERE DETECTED FOR MEDIA REQUEST"

#

is there something broken on the service end or is there somewthing I should be looking at on my end?

raven crescent
#

It seems to play a few seconds in the stream then drops out with that error message. I have media requests open in a panel in OBS.Live.

#

@raven crescent Panel is not enough, you need to have a Media request widget in an overlay you are currently using in the active scene in OBS.

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

Question about the overlays editor. When I try and add my socials for example under twitter, I change the name and save but it does not change it still says "twiiter" unlike the name I change it to.

@bronze cedar To edit the text of a widget, click on it and select Settings at the bottom left.

So turning off Browser Source Hardware Acceleration allowed my obs not to crash and even load my overlays! Man i was about to give up, something so simple! Thank you!

yeah, it is... although I have it working in other alerts, and the moment I removed the borked image file from the "Video File" field, it stopped working, so I can try looking at that as an example

Hello, i'm having trouble with Connecting Custom Bot Account, when I connect my bot account, it does nothing. I believe something is wrong with the authentication step or something, but it's not allowing me to connect. I had it working before. I just changed my bot name then tried to re-login now I cannot login.

@stoic crypt 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.

hello

is there a way to have a command me only triggered by a specific user? a sub?

Unfortunately, no

#

ok, thank you

#

So i just built my first PC used to use laptop. I used the Back up cloud option so that i can just restore everything in the new PC.

in the new PC, i have logged in to the Streamelements account and i have seen the backup file that i have created. It says

"OBS.LIVE will restart once restoration is complete. are you sure you wish to proceed with restoration?"

As soon as i click "Ok'', OBS resets and just comes into a blank new page of OBS. (it didn't restore)

undone lion
#

retry doesnt nothing, ive reinstalled OBS but still get the same problem

shy mountain
#

The file is most likely open during the update process

#

open task manager and find anything OBS realted that is working and just end the task

#

and then click "retry"

sullen roost
#

Why is not body helping me lol.

shy mountain
#

I don't remember the cloud backup saying that the software will restart after backing up

undone lion
#

ok ty @shy mountain

sullen roost
#

I'll provide pictures. in a sec.

undone lion
#

@shy mountain closing all obs processes doesnt cahnge anything. As soon as it tries to open that files it throws an error

#

change*

shy mountain
#

im wondering, what update are you referring to?

#

there hasn't been a recent update push for a while

#

If you uninstall OBS.Live and then OBS Studio

#

and then install it(which will install OBS Studio as well)

#

it should be fine

undone lion
#

@shy mountain completely deleting OBS and removing user settings fixed the issue but now I have to set all my scenes back to how they were -.-

shy mountain
#

idk why you had to delete your user settings

sullen roost
shy mountain
#

I just tested the cloud backup and its restoring everyone for me

#

from my deleted scene and profile to the position of the activitity feed dock

sullen roost
#

WHat should i do?

#

I still have access to my other laptop. where the original files are

#

Is there a way i can do it manually? By transferring the file through USB or something? If so may you please guide me?

@median sundial 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

@late token We're not able to troubleshoot issues with using our overlays in StreamLabs OBS (SLOBS) as we don't have the tools to support their software. We recommend using OBS Studio or OBS Studio with our plugin OBS.Live.

Having an issue with media requests, not working and skipping saying "this video isn't available in your country" (even though it is)

past elm
#

When I undock the chat window in streamelements, is there anyway to change the opacity on the windows and have it so I can see it when im ingame? Only got one monitor for the moment and its a big hassle having to tab out all the time

#

Only for me too see not the stream that is

woeful shoal
tulip hamlet
#

@past elm There is no in game overlay option for chat, no.

#

@woeful shoal That's for it to autoplay after you've hit play once, not to automatically start all on its own. Volume depends on where you're controlling media request; are you controlling it via the website or via OBS.Live?

woeful shoal
#

@woeful shoal That's for it to autoplay after you've hit play once, not to automatically start all on its own. Volume depends on where you're controlling media request; are you controlling it via the website or via OBS.Live?
@tulip hamlet So i still have to approve every media share on the website?

tulip hamlet
#

No. You have to hit play once for the player to start playing.

#

And then it'll autoplay through the queue.

woeful shoal
#

but what if there isnt a que?

#

basically im using it on dono's so i get a few a stream

#

and i want them to play auto when someone donates

#

i also have a stream deck if that helps

#

And ref the volume how do i control it via obs.live? atm every time im having to go onto the website and click show on stream for it to bring it up on stream

I have been having a problem with the ExtraLife alert notification noise for over a week now. There is a sound bit playing that has been removed from every single ExtraLife overlay element, and I have even removed the sound bit entirely from StreamElements, yet it still plays when I get a donation or I emulate it. Can someone please help me with this?

woeful shoal

#

My screenshot is from OBS.Live.

woeful shoal
#

do i have to add that in to obslive somehow?

tulip hamlet

No, it's the media request dock.

#

how mine looks

tulip hamlet
#

So click the StreamElements menu at the top and add it in.

woeful shoal
#

thanks for the help @tulip hamlet So if i have veiwer requests on, show video and auto play it will auto show on obs after a dono?

tulip hamlet
#

No. Again, no matter what, you have to click play at least once to start up your queue.

#

ok thats great i can just bind it to stream deck

again thanks alot for the help

Goodevening, does somebody know why OBS not updating a browser source? I have made a custom widget thats loading a txt file from a server (jQuery), this is working on the normal overlay URL. But if i put the overlay in OBS it wont change the text what i am typing in the txt file.....

It will change but it can takes up like to 10min? And after that it will change instand... why is that? Does somebody knows?

karmic vapor
#

Try turning the alert volume down @karmic vapor like the part on right side of the above image
@vernal drum - I can turn both volume sliders down to 0% and when I go to emulate it, the video original video volume still blasts ๐Ÿค”

#

Also, isn't the purpose of the video volume control to affect whatever sound is embedded in the video - as opposed to any alert FX I uploaded on top of it?

vernal drum
#

I forgot how I got it fixed with someone else. You could maybe extract the audio and upload it seperately?

how can i copy and paste a source and then edit the copy and not have it edit the original? i am losing my mind and there is zero difference between pasting as a duplicate and as a reference. i dont want to have to make 6 new scenes with like 10+ elements each that i have to custom transform and all that one by one. i am going crazy. i really wnat to switch from streamlabs but i cant figure out how to do this simple task lmao. also why is there no undooooooooooooooooo????????

#

also when i paste it doesnt show until i click another source and click back ๐Ÿ™ƒ

errant rose

I've got a question. I am using StreamElements obs live. I am signed into the website and chose a overlay and edited all the texts and scenes on there and saved everyone. Well I can't figure out how to get that to the app now.

nova igloo
#

copy transform and paste transform also isnt working ๐Ÿ™ƒ

#

so even if i try and do it manually i cant copy the settings ๐Ÿ™ƒ

plain mason
#

@nova igloo if you are copying a source and pasting it into other scenes, when editing one of the sources, then all of them will be modified according to the one you edited. If you don't want the source to be changed when editing, then create new sources. However, there are sources that you should copy and paste, as the system will prevent you from creating multiple sources of the same content, such as the webcam capture source.

nova igloo
#

yea well how do i copy them do they wont be modified when i edit them

#

i need them to keep the transform and sade position etc

#

just have a diffeent text or image

#

copy/pasting transform doesnt work

#

like if i copy this transform and paste it

#

it looks like this on the new one im making

#

?

#

also looking at the transform its not even correct

#

the positions shouldnt be 0

#

im confused

#

i feel like im going insane lol

#

i made another text and its letting me type numbers in for position but the other is locked at zero and i can only drag it around

#

that makes no sense? idk

nova igloo
#

why does paste transform never work right what am i doing wrong

#

im getting the issue where position is stuck on 0 again and it was just working for this source and i didnt change anything

steel bladeBOT
gloomy arrow
#

yea well how do i copy them do they wont be modified when i edit them
@nova igloo you'd need to add a new source, not copy an existing one

nova igloo
#

i am adding a new one now

#

but i cant copy the transform

#

and i cant edit the position in transform

#

unless i delete it and start over

#

multiple times

#

till it works

#

idk what its doing

gloomy arrow
#

huh, idk, I actually joined the server to ask about switching over from SLOBS but I generally manually position things, use transforms basically for centering but never copied transforms sorry

nova igloo
#

its okay i just have several scenes that have a lot of sources but all have different text depending on the scene so it would be easier to copy paste and i feel like im losing my mind cause streamlabs was just one click and no headache lmao

#

it just seems buggy? tbh idk

#

like i understand how that i cant c/p but why does center horizontally move my text all the way right idgi etc

#

why is position 0 not top left even tho i have it set to "top left"

#

etc

gloomy arrow
#

I'll download the client and see if I can poke around

nova igloo
#

also teh weird thing is sometimes these thinsg work as intended and i have compared settings and i cant find anything thats different

gloomy arrow
#

I had a hell of a time figuring out how to centre a textbox in SLOBS so it would work as I changed the text for various segments, totally understand how frustrating it is

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

  1. Click on your channel name at the top of the dashboard
  2. Create a new invite at one of three access levels (Bot Supervisor, Editor, Full Control)
  3. Send this invite to a mod/manager to give them access to your dashboard. The link is one-time-use and expires after 72 hours if not accepted

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

Hello,
I think some of the overlays I used - namely ones based on the Blue Metropolis animated super theme from the themes gallery - are causing my stream to buffer more for viewers.
The connection indicator seems to go into the red more often when one of them is active.
I figure it's because it's straining my system, even though running taxing games doesn't do that.
Is there a way to fix that?

I was able to download OBS.LIVE but I can't connect to facebook, twitch, or youtube, from OBS.LIVE because the pop up window is to small. Is there anyway to enlarge the pop up window that lets you sign in to your social media!?

@wispy nymph I believe Spotify made StreamElements disable any features related to their service a while back

#

@nimble wagon while I don't know that you'll be happy with that streaming performance in Parallels, you could command click the desktop in parallels and bump up that resolution, at least temporarily so that it could display properly at least long enough to login.

#

@nimble wagon For Mac, I would free up those resources Parallels is using and instead your OBS Studio for mac. OBS.Live is just a set of addons for OBS Studio. You can still use the rest of streamelements features while getting better performance.

Any Tips on what music service to use instead which offers the same songs, etc?

Youtube is what is supported

Just have to be careful because Twitch DMCA and muting vods is a thing with anything copyright

Hi! I have a question about SE activity feed. I recently have noticed that my recent followers will not show on my activity feed on the SE website or in the OBS live activity feed. The followers will show on my overall twitch feed though. I checked to make sure followers was checked in the filter for the feed and deleted my cache to clear things out but it still seems as though its not working. anyone have that problem?

What source do I use for the overlay that was created for me by streamelements?

steel bladeBOT
#

@solar shale 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

That dosen't really help me at all? What is level 100? Can i edit it?

@grave wave You can use the command !level

Right but those numbers mean nothing to me.. When does one reach level 100? Is it per hour?

#

It dosen't tell anywhere

honest echo
#

?

#

The level doesn't accumulate that's their "status"

grave wave
#

I don't understand at all.. When exactly does someone become a regular? @honest echo

#

would be nice to say "people who have x amount of hour on stream are regulars and can post links"

plain mason
#

@grave wave these values (100, 250, 300, 400, 500, 1000, 1500) are related to user levels to use the chatbot commands/functions.

honest echo
#

You have to give them the "regular" level by the !level command

grave wave
#

Oh okay. Seems kinda counterintuitive tho?

#

For other chat bots you can usually set an amount of time or points for when someone becomes a regular.

plain mason
#

would be nice to say "people who have x amount of hour on stream are regulars and can post links"
@grave wave you can use the #๐Ÿ’ญ๏ธฑfeedback-and-ideas channel to post your idea or check if it already exists and support the existing post.

#

Welp seems like someone posted the idea a year ago so.. Maybe i'll just have to setup another chat bot for that one thing..

Hey guys, throwing this here... I have decided to download OBS on my mac to use it to stream. I setup my overlay URL into Browser Source but the page is static. Unless I launch a test for an alert.

Hey, new to the discord but I've been using streamelements for a few months now. I've had media request turned on for a good potion of that time but yesterday it stopped working and started giving me "THIS VIDEO IS NOT AVAILABLE IN YOUR COUNTRY" for most (but not all) videos. I can watch these videos on youtube no problem though, so that doesn't seem to be the issue.

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

!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

@plain mason oh ok.. sorry I am new to Affiliate. Maybe I am seeing the sub alerts from the wrong perspective. When it shows resubbed for 5months, does that mean they have been subbed already for 4 months?

plain mason
#

@low crag if you were already using StreamElements and received the Affiliate contract now, then Logout of your account at https://streamelements.com/logout and redo the Login; and still click on PART CHANNEL for the bot to leave your stream chat and then JOIN CHANNEL for the bot to return. Because, with this procedure you will be able to view some features for those who are Affiliates.

torpid kayak
#

hey how do i setup alerts?

plain mason
#

@low crag when the user is a subscriber and he shares the subscription information in the chat, the system records this information, so the user must do this sharing. If he follows the stream for "X months", then the system records the time he follows, however, he can also inform in the message when he makes a subscription in consecutive months (subscription streak).

Question. If I stream to Twitch one day and YouTube another day, is there a way to swap the OBSLive add on so it shows YouTube chat instead of Twitch chat once I change over each day?

You need relog

@limber kindle StreamElements menu, on top of OBS > Logout > Login

On OBS or just the webpage @sharp turret

sharp turret

In OBS

limber kindle

So I just did that

#

And it still shows Twitch chat and the activity feed is just twitch alerts

#

My Twitch, YouTube and Facebook are all linked under the same log in btw

sharp turret
#

Are you logged in with Youtube? You need login with other platform

#

And also add alerts from youtube account

limber kindle
#

So, I use the same overlay for each platform which required me to link all three under the same log in so I could "import" them from Twitch to the Youtube side.

#

@sharp turret Is there not a drop down to swap between the accounts like the website has??

sharp turret
#

Unfortunately no, you need always relog in OBS with the other platform to show also youtube chat.

#

How do you import overlays from one platform to the other then?

@rugged quail If you changed your name on Twitch, please follow these steps:

  1. Visit https://streamelements.com/logout and then log in again by connecting with Twitch.
  2. On the right side of the dashboard page that opens, select Join under bot settings. If it says Part select that and then select Join to send the bot to the chat. Don't forget to mod the bot by typing /mod streamelements in your channel if you have not already.
  3. Post your old and your new name here so that we can update your channel's chatstats tracking (must be done by staff).

@tall crow 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+.

@devout sundial Google Fonts
More than 900 google fonts are supported at this time. You can preview them here: https://fonts.google.com/

Custom Fonts

Steps:

  1. Install the font on the streaming PC or choose a pre-installed windows font.
  2. In the overlay widget settings, select Text Settings
  3. Click on Enable Custom Font
  4. Type the name of the font as it appears in the windows font directory (This is usually C:\Windows\Fonts)

Note: After installing fonts, the browser and OBS must be restarted for the font to appear.

HI all! - I am having an issue with my alerts intermittently working?

EX: had a host not trigger, a follow trigger, then a tip not trigger -- any idea on where the problem may lie? Or was there a possible out-tage?

steel bladeBOT
#

@cunning grotto 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.

As for the tips not triggering, check and see if you have tipping moderation on

#

@rugged quail 1) Restart OBS
2) Start your stream/recording for about 30 seconds. Make sure you replicate any issues as best you can, which means having any games/apps open and captured, etc.
3) Stop your stream/recording.
4) Select Help > Log Files > Upload Current Log File. Copy the URL and paste the link here.

Note: If you do not see an obsproject.com URL, you will need to update OBS Studio to version 22+.

Got a small issue on my hands here. My Alerts don't play any sounds through OBS.live., neither does media request when I press ''show on stream''.
Media request gives sound, but only if I don't use the widget to show it on stream. If I show it, I get no sound but I do see it on my stream.

For some reason, my overlays just decided not to work today. I've been using the same overlay for months but since I reset the widgets, none of them works now. Tried uninstalling and reinstalling OBS.live but still the same issue. The alerts display on Stream Elements' overlay editor though, just not on my OBS.

@steel blade https://obsproject.com/logs/-n9qJtHxYbLPOITs Ok so i finally managed to remake this issue

#

Hey, i have 1060 3gb and Ryzen 5 2600, 16 Gb ram.
I stream with NVENC (new). But when i play for example csgo, on start of every csgo round my obs is saying something like "Encoding Overloaded" would it be better to use x264? Also after streaming new Mafia remake after few hours of playing OBS does the same without my game to lag, but my stream does.

Hope someone can help.
If someone is going to help me this is the issue

@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

Hi! I'm trying to use an Alertbox, but it is not showing up in my stream. I have the correct browser source link, and I'm even getting the audio playback when emulating an alert, but there is no image on the scene. (Using StreamElements OBS v25.0.8)

#

For Twitch Alerts

#

@frank vine 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 have that set. It seems that no browser source shows up at all. Just tested w/ a YouTube video and same issue: No image, but there was audio.

Hello Helpdesk ๐Ÿ™‚ Was hoping someone would have an answer to a weird problem I've been having with OBS.Live. A couple months ago I had noticed that my Media Request tab was gone and I thought it was strange but left it alone, however today I have booted up and my chat and activity feed are also both missing. Checked OBS' "docks" and none of them are there anymore, any idea? Sorry I posted this in the wrong section earlier D:

I keep getting this, but I do have a widget and it wont show on stream
@prime meteor you have to go to your overlay editor and add the media request widget (the plus button on the bottom left besides the "EMULATE" > Then go to Engagement > and the you will be able to choose the "Media Request" ... afterwards you'll be able to place where you want and change it's dimensions... don't forget to save your changes before quitting the page. Good luck!

i'm having a problem where Activity Feed won't let me clear out the Game and let me select a new one. It always leaves the first letter in the field, so to change game/category you have to type a letter after the first and then remove the first. on top of that, the save button does not works and it prompts me to save when i leave that page, but doesn't actually save it. Hoping this has an easy solution, it's been frustrating if i do more than one thing during stream

I have a strange issue that just cropped up. I can't mute the sound from my browser source. I have an overlay that has a media request. That browser source is set to have audio controlled by OBS. When I set mediarequest to show on stream it does so. The mixer channel for this shows activity. All of that is fine but I hear the unfiltered sound from the mediarequest playing. I tried muting all channels in OBS, set all the adio devices in the settings menu to deisabled and STILL hear the sound from the media request. I tried uninstalling and re-installing OBS/Streamelements. I rebooted the system. Nothing I try can stop this stupid thing from playing. Help!

#

The only way I can mute the sound is if I mute the device that OBS studio outputs to in VOICEMeeter

#

To add to my frustration it seems to be choosing a different hardware output every time I restart it. This makes no sense.
