"Buy a package?"
yes
Can you be more specific? Who did you buy it from?
my bad thought this was there dicord lol and i got it from own3d
You'd have to ask them, then.
My alerts, countdowns , and chat box are not showing up during stream on obs. I added web browser source but nothing. My chat bot is working :(
@green lark "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)
https://i.imgur.com/ggMe9ZE.png"
It's on enable . Ill try this thank you!!
Can't stream, says I can't connect to IP, yet I can't change IP in settings.
@worldly dagger 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
ah @tulip hamlet well the icon doesnt do anything within my browser
@woven meadow 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
@worldly dagger Please follow the instructions, go to Settings>Advanced, and set the "Bind to IP" setting back to Default.
Hello, I am trying to add browser sources to obslive but when I do, I get black bars at the bottom and top of the overlays. I think it has to do something with the width and height I can adjust in properties. Any ideas on this?
@errant lark 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
@tulip hamlet bro I've tried that, it's not even allowing me to select the current one it's greyed out.
Screenshot the setting please.
I can't set it to default. . .
Oh I wasn't live, the replay buffer was going though.
Also make sure you’re not outputting over NDI
NDI also prevents settings changes 😉
Learned that one the hard way
Once it’s set to default you should be good
Can I get help with getting my game capture to show up on OBS.Live
@worthy marsh For the best OBS support, please join their Official Discord @ discord.gg/obsproject
Is there a way to integrate my webcam to one of the overlay themes found in the Theme Galleries in StreamElements?
Yes. You add the theme to OBS and add your cam to OBS as a video capture source.
I did that but the webcam height/width does not fit within the space designated for it in the theme
Then your webcam is a different aspect resolution than the border. Most themes offer both 4:3 and 16:9 options. Go into the overlay editor, hide one, and show the other.
@errant lark We've released our new Overlay Editor revamp. You can check out the changes and how to work with it here: https://youtu.be/X5VzXjqAsjk
Check out our blog post as well: https://blog.streamelements.com/streamelements-overlay-editor-just-got-even-better-c22cb5b4853e
@tulip hamlet I am editing the talk scene for the animated theme
I see that option in the other scenes though
look for my bit rate and were its gone i am constatntally getting bad bit rate idk how to fix
Yes, that one can't be changed.
oh ok, so I cant use that one then?
You can, you just have to resize your camera feed and find a good angle.
@cyan reef 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.
Your video cards don't matter when it comes to bitrate.
@cyan reef Your log contains no recording or streaming session. Results of this log analysis are limited. Please post a link to a clean log file.
To make a clean log file, please follow these steps:
- Restart OBS.
- 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.
- Stop your stream/recording.
- Select Help > Log Files > Upload Current Log File. Send that link via this troubleshooting tool or whichever support chat you are using.
hey the ummmmmmmm log thing is not letting me select it
i got an error uploading the log let me try again
@cyan reef
Critical 65.8% Dropped Frames
Your log contains streaming sessions with dropped frames. This can only be caused by a failure in your internet connection or your networking hardware. It is not caused by OBS. Follow the troubleshooting steps at: Dropped Frames and General Connection Issues.
i just clocked my speeds at 200 download and 20 upload with 7 ping is that not enough
Speed tests are irrelevant in this case. They're best case scenarios generated by connecting to multiple servers. It's no indication of your direct connection with one particular Twitch ingest server.
Test your connection to Twitch ingest servers with https://r1ch.net/projects/twitchtest
If none of them are any good, then it's your internet connection as a whole.
Hello. My "scene transitions" dock does not have a + sign to add transitions. I have the settings cog, but it does not do anything. Any suggestions? I can provide pictures if needed.
^^ I think I answered my own question just now. Looks like there was an update somewhere along the lines. Correct me if I'm wrong.
Is there a way to change or check the aspect ratio of my webcam?
Check your webcam's manual.
Figured it out! You can do it in Obs Live if you set Resolution/FPS Type to custom in the video capture settings
wow ok here is what i have for a screen shot and on imports i always see install now for the import
@woven meadow make sure you’re logged into both streamlabs and streamelements before you try importing. Use a chrome tab for each and then try
yup so i have already have them in seperate tabs after signing into streamlabs first
Yeah I haven’t used streamlabs in like 6 years so I’m not sure at this point
Maybe someone smarter than I will show up and have an answer
darn, well i was following the suggestions online but nothing was working so im at a lost
could it be perhaps because i signed into streamlabs with twitch and stream elements through youtube
Probably
Hi, is there any news on the fix for videos not working in the asset rotator/slideshow widget yet?
No
okay, how long has it been a problem for?
Since last week I believe
There is no ETA on when its going to be fixed, but the devs are aware
gotcha, appreciate the quick response, thanks 
@median orchid Currently renaming the bot fully works with OBS.Live.
You can follow this video guide to set it up: https://discordapp.com/channels/141203863863558144/494513233416421386/561516184718278676
If you don't want to use OBS.Live and want to stick with Ground Control, please let us know your Twitch username.
That doesn't help at all unfortunately as the option to change the name doesn't show up
You are asking in OBS.Live's helpdesk channel, so the link from the bot actually shows a video on how to change the bot name via OBS.Live
But if you are referring to Ground Control, it would help narrow it down if you mention that you are using that 🙂
Yes, I am using ground control
restart the software now
streamlab scene import keep failing on me..
Okay I need help: My chat window with OBS.live is blurry and i don't know how to fix it
@unique kestrel make sure there are no copyrighted stuff like SL default assets and no media files above 30mb
@bright basin can you show a screenshot of the issue?
Are you using the built in windows zoom feature?
@unique kestrel make sure there are no copyrighted stuff like SL default assets and no media files above 30mb
@shy mountain media was probably the problem then
I don't believe so
I am encountering another problem where i choose a font to my overlay but it is displayed as the wrong text font on obs itself
do i need to download that font into my computer?
@unique kestrel 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
- Click on 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.
thanks!
Hi, rather new to obs live, i have a small animation i have installed on my stream, though i was wondering if there was a way to have it change depending on what's said in chat,
ie, the animation is of a girl doing a static dance, if someone would say RIP i would like the animation change to her crying, note that i am making the animation videos my self, i just cant work out if i can have the animation change on command for say 5 seconds then revert back to the original animation,
Hello i am considering moving to streamElements from streamlabs, and i am looking for some help understanding if what i do in streamlabs is possible with elements, and also with discovering new features that can help me improve my stream. is anyone available to chat?
@subtle seal that involves custom coding in order to change the animation based on what is being said in chat
@rugged quail New to StreamElements?
Check out our YouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/c/streamelements/videos
with tutorial videos from setting up the basics, to in-depth details on how to use our product.
New to OBS? Here is a 4 step quick start guide
https://obsproject.com/wiki/OBS-Studio-Quickstart
Want to learn even more? Here is an in-depth overview
https://obsproject.com/wiki/OBS-Studio-Overview
question1: Is it possible to multistream to twitch and facebook via obslive/streamelements
question2: how can i setup and command !action that changes a scene in twitch
Question3: is it possible to control obs live from the phone like using streamlabs deck?
Question4: trying to import my scenes from streamlabs it gives an error. and tells me to try agaiin later, how can i see why it is failing and how to fix it?
thank you for the help
if anyone could spend a few a minutes with this it would be super.
Q1) Yes and no - OBS.Live is a plugin for OBS Studio, meaning that you can restream but not have multiple accounts connected to our plugin.
Q2) There is a custom widget in #widget-share that can help you with that. Don't remember its name, but its there, look over them slowly.
Q3) No
Q4) Make sure you don't have copyrighted assets from SL and any media file above 30MB in SLOBS, when using the importer
thank you
I have a question regarding audio commands. I followed a youtube video on how to set up a !redeem (command) that plays audio and on the streamelements website, the preview works bbut when they are redeemed on stream, nothing happens
@nimble gull 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
@nimble gull If you are not hearing your alerts and/or Media Request, you are most likely using the Control Audio via OBS option in your browser source properties.
To make sure you hear the alerts and the stream also hears them, follow along the screenshot bellow.
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/199460642975907840/685371800456134686/unknown.png
Idk what’s up but 99% of every stream I’ve been in today has had problems with OBS live/ alerts/ bots. Something is up.
@pliant tree 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
🤦♂️ we all know how to do that. I’m saying they are disconnecting randomly all across the board. And it needs to be looked at. But I don’t think anyone here are actual devs
hello, i wanna edit my overlays through obs itself but when i try to, this shows up. what should i do?
@naive sapphire StreamElements menu, on top of OBS > Logout > Login
thank you!!
How do i get the bot chat window up back in obs? it went away and cant get it back
bot chat window?
do you mean the chat window it self?
Streamelements on top -> chat
when i started using the live obs, there was a section on the side for bot chat and a separate one for chat.
OBS.Live is a plugin for OBS Studio and we only add 3 docks - our activity feed, media request and a chat dock
I don't know what bot chat box you are referring to
yeah not really sure. it was just something i saw when i started using it and its gone. however in my dashboard, i clicked on the Join CHannel in BOT SETTINGS, it tells me the bot is currently not in your chat. how do i get this bot settings to be in my chat?
@viral knot For the best OBS support, please join their Official Discord @ discord.gg/obsproject
@winter pilot https://streamelements.com/dashboard -> right side -> bot settings -> join channel -> once you click it the bot will be in your channel
Ok thank you I suspect that this site is useless.
I have added my twitch and FB in streamelements, does the chat in thats coming from twitch and FB will be showing in the chat page in obs?
it's not my alert box that is the issue (I hear follow alerts etc.) but when someone does !redeem (command) the audio for that redemption doesn't play. Are they linked to the alert box or are they seperate?
is there a way to change the activity feed and media request panels to light mode in obs.live?
Anybody else got the problem that custom commands dont work? Like some do, some dont.
@wraith trellis 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
@rugged quail I think you can't change to light mode, there is no light mode only that. Maybe there is i haven't change that and i don't see setting for that.
@sharp turret on the website there's an option for light mode, that's why I was asking.
Yeah, but i don't see a setting in OBS for that.
hey there. I have made my own animated widgets before with a small mp4. i made a new one today and am trying to use it under my "sub alert" but it only shows the generic animation and sound.
i can use my animaiton under follower alert just fine, but some reason the sub doesn't work and i'm losing my mind over it, so frustrating! i've spent almost 3 hours messing with this
OBS website is down ?
is there anyone here that can help with streamelements?
@versed blaze Check variations and did you hit save?
What is variations? And yes I tried save. The file will work when I use it in the follower alert. But its made for a sub alert and it won't work there.
My old sub alerrt I made works fine. Idk what the difference is 🤦♀️
With OBS live it had the media requests that you could pop out and move around, its not there anymore? How do I fix this?
how do i activate the overlay?
@slow loom 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
no the obs live overlay
I can't seem to get the streamelements browser page to even load
@rugged quail 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 is blocking our website or clear your cookies. You can try if the website works in an incognito tab.

Hello,I'm new to the program, but I was hoping to use 2 different webcams for 2 different scenes, but I can't get it to work. I can change between cameras in properties so I know both cameras are working, but its like I can only have one source at a time, even when split between different scenes. Is this true or am I doing something wrong?

@full thunder Not sure what yo mean honestly by opening file explorer and going there? Do you mean open explorer and type that into the browser then copy and paste the last listed file? Sorry new in the pc world.... lol
@fluid zodiac if you cannot open the OBS to send (upload) the crash report using the menu, then use the directory path to copy the log file (crash report) and send it here for someone from support to try to help you.
@plain mason Hey thank you... Also pretty embarrassed to ask... What is the directory path? God help me
Im unable to open OBS
@fluid zodiac #helpdesk-selive message .. this path %appdata%\obs-studio\crashes
why is my program lagging but im just fine when playing my games

where does one have to go to get some assistance around here
How to i even do that??
@tight pecan 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.

@plain mason Let me know if you need anything else. Thank you for your help so far! Much appreciated.
anyone have any idea why i cant get the merch rotator to actually show up as a browser source in OBS live or studio? OR for that matter ANY stream elements browser source? any other works just fine. Have tried hardware acceleration ON/OFF dozens of times already to no effect.
@fluid zodiac Do you have something called Reaper installed on your computer?
Trying to import Streamlabs overlays to OBS Live. It's getting stuck here. Any ideas?
@gloomy ledge The import will fail if you are attempting to import assets above 30mb or Streamlabs-owned assets.
How can I make sure that I have my audio still going even if I transition to a new scene
@rugged quail u should see the audio bars move
Streamlabs-owned assets
What is this exactly?
@tulip hamlet Yes! Just installed it for my mic they are free pluggins
@gloomy ledge Things that Streamlabs gave you. It's not free to use anywhere. It's still owned by them.
Suppose to help improve USB mic tone.
@fluid zodiac That's probably what's causing the crashes.
According to your crash log.
oh wow! So try uninstalling that?
Yup.
ok @tulip hamlet Them being plugins how do it go about doing so? Should it be just like uninstalling a video game?
@fluid zodiac That you'll have to sort out.
If I go from my starting scene to my live scene, the audio cuts off during the transition
What audio?
any audio
@tight pecan Read and follow our server rules:
- We do not tolerate toxicity! Treat the community team, staff and all members with respect.
- No advertisement or channel promotion, anywhere on the server.
- No NSFW/NSFL
- No unsolicited DMs or friend requests to server members
Make sure to read the #rules in any server you join.
Did you add the audio as a source or are you just letting it play normally?
can i post my twitch broadcast so you know what Im referring to?
Not necessary. Generally, if your audio cuts out upon changing scenes, it's because you added it as a source to that scene, so once you leave the scene, it stops playing.
What kind of audio is it, exactly? Background music, or what?
music from my DJ controller
And you added it to OBS as a source, am I right?
ok its taking audio from my computer and playing it. I just have it labeled as the DJ controller
@rugged quail 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
a screenshot isnt going to help. if i post my twitch broadcast you'll see the problem occur at around 50 seconds in when I transition.
@tulip hamlet Thank you very much my dood! Got it all deleted and runs smooth as butter again. Have a great day man!!! 🙂
Screenshot where you added this DJ controller in OBS.
its in the audio mixer in all scenes
everytime i try to stream through obs it always wants to stream through youtube
but i only have my twitch linked
i can't get it to do anything else but try to stream through youtube

How do I test alerts in OBS Live?
@gloomy ledge 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
Would be nice if there was a way to do it on the software itself :P
Is there a way to import a font to use in the overlay editor?
@gloomy ledge 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
- Click on 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.

@exotic isle 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
Is there any particular reason that after installing/logging into OBS.Live for OBS, the Scenes List font/format becomes significantly larger and more line spaced?
@exotic isle "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()

Hi folks, I have an issue (at leats i think it is) my alert sounds are reeeeaaally quiet and I dont seem to be able to increase their volume, if i set the option to control volume in OBS its already at max volume and if i change the volume of the audio in the (widget?) even at 100 they sound the exact same.
Open your volume mixer and check if you have OBS set on low
I checked this, didnt make any difference .
If I dont have a capture card my game play wont play on obs is that correct and if so the only way to do it would be to do remote play for ps4 and use window function am I right or wrong help please
@vagrant drift I see that you have custom alerts from NOD.
You will have to adjust the volume in the custom code.
Here is how:
That 0.1 I would recommend changing between 0.1 and 1
and yes you will have to do this for all your alerts
the slide on the left will not affect custom coded alerts.

@shy mountain Thank you for the assistance, I'll give that a try
Hey folks, i getting this cracking sound when swapping scenes, any ideas? Happens when swapping to scenes with audio that plays on swap
!obshhelp @wicked arch
For the best OBS support, please join their Official Discord @ discord.gg/obsproject
there we go
Audio issues is not something we can deal with
obs.live just adds a few docks to OBS Studio and doesn't touch audio stuff
so no ideas on how to fix this?
@wicked arch For the best OBS support, please join their Official Discord @ discord.gg/obsproject
Had obs crash and not responding mid stream twice this week when moving a source window about has anyone else had this?
@wary mountain A crash log is required to investigate the cause of your issue. Please upload the last crash log.
- In OBS, click the Help menu
- Select Crash Reports and then Upload Last Crash Report
- 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.
Checking
ok so i keep having issues with my obs and it not showing my game
@foggy magnet For the best OBS support, please join their Official Discord @ discord.gg/obsproject
@wary mountain Based on the crashlog, it something with OBS Studio it self, so it might be best to check in with the OBS guys in their discord. You can use the link above to go there.
OK cheers @KeiZar#2253
Hey guys, i'm having trouble with my alerts! Everytime I receive a follow, sub, tip, etc the alert will pop up on stream, how ever it will not play a sound. It says "Emulation sent, but alerts are muted"
Unmute them in your activity feed
AHHHHHH
omg
i've been looking for this setting for days
thank you so much i'm an idiot

@steel mural love you and this group
hello question I used to have like a box that showed stream stats like viewers how long I been live followers and subs and I closed in on accident and cannot remember how I turned that on
@spring geyser If you are not seeing the OBS Twitch integrations and have OBS.Live installed, please follow these steps:
- Make sure you are on the latest and greatest version of OBS.Live
- Exit OBS (make sure OBS is not running)
- Delete
%appdata%\obs-studio\plugin_config\obs-browser\obs_profile_cookies - Start OBS.Live
- Settings > Stream > Disconnect > Connect
Hello, whenever I run the installer and I say yes to the admin prompt, nothing happens. It doesn't install
Having similar problem. It tells me “failed downloading installation package.”
For me it lituarly does not do anything. The adminprompt opens up, I select yes and it disappears
Hi question, am i doing something wrong or is the text over image function for alerts broken? I have tried it with the default alert and with a customized one but it doesnt work either way
@robust notch Text not showing up over your alerts? Go to the Advanced Text Settings and set the top margin to 50, you can work your way to the right position from there.
hey there, I just switched to this and its veryyyyyyy choppy I did everything and still its
@prime vector 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.
I can see the text now, however, it hasn't resolved the problem i was hoping it would. It seems that something is squishing my video I use as an alert. I uploaded a 1920x1080 webm, the alertsbox is 1920x1080 and so is my obs canvas, yet the video seems squished in streamelements
@robust notch 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
Its added, but the video is already messed up in the editor. The alert was made to match the webcam, all sources are 1920x1080 yet this happens
Its scaling it up in a strange way
https://obsproject.com/logs/SXUdUiNhYnvLT6rq idk laggy as hell
@prime vector Looks like you're overloading your GPU. Limit your FPS in game and / or turn down settings.
I was using SLOB with the same things, I'm trying to load my CPU but OBS doesn't want to still using 12% GPU
I see that you're using your CPU with x264, but OBS still needs some GPU resources to draw the frame. When your game is hogging like 95%+ of your GPU, OBS doesn't have any room to breath.
17:57:46.335: Output 'simple_stream': Number of lagged frames due to rendering lag/stalls: 1279 (2.2%)
And I'm pretty sure when you're opening the stats dock found at "View" -> "Docks" -> "Stats", this number is going up:

Hey! I'm trying to setup my chat overlay and I mostly got it working, but i'm having one problem. My channels BetterTTV global emotes aren't showing on my OBS.live chat. Is there any way to get the BTTV emotes to show up on my OBS.live chat and on my chat overlay?

Hello, I have a question how can I get this twitch stats widget to pop up again? I had to uninstall and reinstall streamelements and I can’t seem to figure out where it was at
View->Docks->Twitch Stats
@sharp turret this is all I see here
@spring geyser Go to OBS settings->stream and disconnect account and reconnect.
That did it! Thanks @sharp turret

i have a problem with the audio now. in obs.live i can't hear my audio of my alerts (follower, raid, host. etc)
@timber spruce If you are not hearing your alerts and/or Media Request, you are most likely using the Control Audio via OBS option in your browser source properties.
To make sure you hear the alerts and the stream also hears them, follow along the screenshot bellow.

Product: stream elements obs
Summary of Issue: game on main monitor drooping to 60 fps when/ during my use of stream elements
How long have you had this issue: 2 days
Steps you have taken to fix your issue: none
Full explanation of your issue: when I'm just playing COD MW my frame rate is around 144hrz but as soon as i open stream elements (just open the app not streaming or anything like that) my game drops to 60fps and stays there unless i close the obs
Okay, I now see the BTTV emotes on the OBS chat, but do you happen to know how to see them on the StreamElements Overlay chat? They still appear as text on the overlay.
Can i get some help, i accidently delete the chat feed on the right. I only got activity feed up. Thank you
go to tools and dockers and select chhat @thick adder
Thank you.
How am i supposed to get to settings with media share? i have been unable to find the settings menu after i first set it up
@tired arch have you tried shutting down your computer, cold booting and re-running the installer?
@kindred fox tried it and didnt work unfortunately 😭
Hello! I'm not sure the best channel to post this, so I'll post here. I have logged into StreamElements with my YouTube and with my Twitch accounts separately in the past. I'd like to link the two together under one single account, but when I'm logged into one and try to add the other, I get a message saying "Channel is already claimed". How best would I resolve this problem?
@dusky lake Account Merging - Please note:
- Merging accounts only allows faster ways to switch between accounts
- Merging accounts does not allow data sharing between accounts - different streaming platforms, different type of events
- Merging accounts allows duplicating/sharing overlays between the accounts
If you understand the limitations of merging and want to proceed, please find the JWT tokens (!jwt) from both accounts you want to merge and you will be directed to DM them to a staff member
@dusky lake You can find your JWT token on your account channels page (Show Secrets to reveal the token): https://streamelements.com/dashboard/account/channels

Hello, Not sure if this is the right tab but I have been having some issues with my overlays once I ad them to OBS live. Everything else in scene will run with no lag/skipping but the animated overlays I have seem to skip and the alerts hardly even play. I have tried restarting OBSLive and computer, as well as removing said sources from the scene and i am still having no luck.
@dapper sun what i usually do is have the tab open before i stream and that helps me or even emulate them beforehand
Hi I have a question. I've imported MP4 videos onto streamelements, and they play perfectly on there- However when I put the browser source on obs, it's just blank. Any ideas?
real sorry if in the wrong area is a question about adding a resub alert. Im just not sure what to do ? 🙂
i think there was a template but i deleted 
think I sorted it 🙂
hi I have obs.live set to capture specific window, with the game selected, however, whenever i alt-tab to a different program, the current windows I have open are displayed in the stream/recording. This just started happening a few weeks ago and appears to only happen with RDR2 roleplay on RedM.
@uncut oyster For the best OBS support, please join their Official Discord @ discord.gg/obsproject
Any idea why my stream is stopping exactly after 30 seconds? Zero dropped frames, and it stops EXACTLY at 30 seconds run time every time
I have a gigabit internet connection, 950mbps DL 45mpbs UL
Obviously i am using game capture :D
@manic ether either hotkey or timer
No hotkey i know that 100%. I never setup any timer either
- Restart OBS
- 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.
- Stop your stream/recording.
- 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+.
@manic ether
I found it under the timers. For some reason a 30 second timer was enabled to end the stream by default. Thanks for the help guys!
https://obsproject.com/logs/tDNof3xACLFj9tZ_ here is a log replicating the problem i get consistently every stream

Quick question I pretty much have everything figured out with setting up the custom bot, but as soon as it is supposed to redirect me nothing happens. Is there some thing restricting the redirection of bot dpi website? Cuz it’s working fine just doesn’t redirect me so it doesn’t give me the chance to “send a test message”
@pliant tree StreamElements menu, on top of OBS > Logout > Login
Nothing happened. Same result. After I click “authorize”
@pliant tree "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."
Won’t that remove the entire bot? Including all of its integrations with everything that I have set up? It’s got to be way easier than that, I’m just trying to change the name, something is just blocking the redirected window. I don’t wanna delete the mega brain of a third party bot u guys built
Is there any firewalls or admin permissions that commonly block OBS live for any reason?
Hello
I used the media request dock, but now its always there and i cant undock it
click on the "launch media request"
okay i got it removed when i restarted i spammed the top right corner and it got deleted
Thanks for the help!~
@honest echo
after i removed it i cant find it in docks, is there a way to add it again?
All of a sudden I can no longer see chat and stuff
streamelements menu on the top > media request @eternal kindle
@vagrant jasper StreamElements menu, on top of OBS > Logout > Login
Thank you, another question if you don't mind
in the activity feed when i click repeat alert it doesn't repeat, do i need to have my alerts set in stream elements? currently i have them in stream labs
@eternal kindle Yes, this will replay the alert on the overlay from Streamelements
@vagrant jasper what's back
how can i make my stream less lag and no delay
@split fjord 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:

i have a small question concerning overlay that are taken from StreamElement free overlays. if the overlays are no longer available but are still in my personnal overlay on my StreamElement account, can they still be used on my stream??? because if i download OBS. the program works, if i add OBS.live everything works again. But the moment i add my overlays then the program crashes permanently. need some help i got no more alerts or overlays.
update just realised that my overlays are still available. but why does my obs crash if i have overlays
@distant estuary A crash log is required to investigate the cause of your issue. Please upload the last crash log.
- In OBS, click the Help menu
- Select Crash Reports and then Upload Last Crash Report
- 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.
having issues importing from streamlabs
failed importing scene collection is the error 😦
@cosmic pilot probably some assets are too big for the program to import it, or have copyright issue..
how do I know whats the problem files? can i look at logs anywhere?
any reason why i cant see my stream information dock to show up? not even in in the dock does it show up.
Hello. I was trying to uninstall the program and at the end it wont let me and says "Installation Aborted" so it does not seem to be able to finish uninstall, then ive seen some people say delete the files but I cant find them. Thank you
@shadow spear make sure your account is connected with OBS (settings > Stream)
@oak smelt in order to uninstall the plugin (obs.live) you must have obs studio installed, some users uninstall obs studio first and that cause the obs.live uninstaller to get errors like "installation aborted"
i still have obs studio installed though
how do i get rid of streamlabs bot?
make sure that the unistaller (from obs.live) have admin rights
its clashing with streamlabs and causing isues
do i just delete streamelements prgram
@rugged quail you may need to reach out to StreamLabs support Team about that
i'm pretty sure you can, but you may need to reach out StreamLabs Support Team about how to remove StreamLabs bot, this is the discord of StreamElements

if you don't have it exactly the same probably you need to click on the "Do it later" on something like that that appears if the setup isn't complete
i wanted to do a clean install of windows, i noticed there is a cloud back up feature on streamelements. if i delete obs can i get all my stuff back from the back up?
@sick dock Yes, i recommend to give it a couple of test first, but all the overlays are cloud based so you only need the URL of the overlay and add it on your streaming software
I just did and its still the same
@sick dock iirc you have to name your scene collection something other than untitled by clicking on scene collection-> rename
I’ve seen it bug out when using untitled
So, i'm trying to use my overlays, but i get a weird problem where when i click open in streamelements overlay editor it says that the authorization key is invalid, but it will show up just fine on obs, it just wont show any alerts
I have tried multiple overlays, and i made sure i was just copying the right code, but it still wont work
henlo?
@silk mist dont try to access the overlay thru obs
Also try turning the hardware acceleration off in the obs settings
@silk mist "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)
https://i.imgur.com/ggMe9ZE.png"
i did that, but i still don't get the alerts pop up on my obs @quaint mural
And you have the proper link added as a browser source? @silk mist
yeah, i see the overlay, i just dont get the alerts
i see that, but when i click emulate follower event or other events i dont see it on obs
make sure you have the bell checked at the top that says show live on stream
ok, that worked, thanks mate
No problem 😄 also be sure to mute it in the browser otherwise youll think its doubled @silk mist
yup, i wont typically have it open in the browser, i just wanted to make an overlay to have just alerts for vr streaming
Awesome have a good one 😄
you too
Hi All, I cant seem to get the streamelements bot working, its not responding to commands. I tried the following:
- Part Channel with bot, disconnecting twitch from streamelements and reconnecting
- Part Channel with bot, logging out, log back in and make bot join with channel
- Unmod and mod streamelements from chat using /mod & /unmod
- Steps 1-3 I tried with the button 'if you're lazy' and also with the /mod streamelements
Does anyone have another solution? I tried also with 2 browsers (chrome and firefox, latest versions)
Thank you in advance
in OBS, streamelements already registered as bot. but I cant find the bot in user management dashboard

@south scaffold 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.
@full thunder Thank for the response, is this it?
@south scaffold 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
Thanks @shy mountain @full thunder switching from custom bot to default worked!

I'm by no means a pro. In fact, I'm looking for one to help ME get Streamelements set up.
There's a URL available somewhere on both streamelements AND streamlabs. You enter this into the browser source in OBS. If you have the streamlabs browser source, but are using streamelements, it won't show up. Only your streamlabs will.
You've got to find the URL for the browser source from your streamelements account.
And yes, we have labels, alerts... the whole shabang
It's all in the overlay editor, that's why i let the bot post all the tutorials 😛

No matter wat encoder and bitrate I use, obs will always drop frames eventually and or disconnect.
@weak briar 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.
Will this work in bandwidth mode?
No, was we need a live log.
Interesting coz I’m trying to get the right settings and it still drops frames and or disconnects
so ngl i just started dropping frames for no reason anyone know why?
it was fine a week ago for me it just started screwing up recently
Anyone had problems with the kappagen chat emote?
@odd kraken I’m suppose to be in a gaming marathon tomorrow and suppose to stream at least 2000 bitrate as they are using my stream feed as a restreaming. If I set it to dynamic bitrate, will the quality still drop if I theoretically drop frames until it recovers???

Fixed it, turns out i only had to relog in OBS.live.
I am having issue getting my overlay to appear in Obs, i copy the browser link, put it in and nothing shows. In the properties menu I can click the editor button and it shows correctly but in the studio nothing is appearing.
is the source over your other sources
no its the top one
select your overlay source and press ctrl+f
also in the event emulator make sure the checkbox that says show on stream is checked when testing
@craggy swan did it work?
Yeah i got it to work
my obs today has tanked badly dropped frames and my kbs is at 0
my interenet is fine though

@mortal bone 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
anyone have any idea why i cant get the merch rotator to actually show up as a browser source in OBS live or studio? OR for that matter ANY stream elements browser source? any other works just fine. Have tried hardware acceleration ON/OFF dozens of times already to no effect.
Do you see the overlays on the browser?
Alright I’m just curious cause I might be an idiot
So I used to be able to do a stream through OBS live. While doing a window cap of my Xbox companion app so that I could have my alerts and overlays (not the best thing but I’m trying ;;-;;). Now when I go to do once I start the “stream mode” inside the Xbox companion app. It freeze Frames with the OBS. So I can’t stream it because the screen doesn’t update.
With the last update did they take the ability to do that out? Or am I just missing a setting somewhere

anyone know how to fix media requests not showing up in obs
@analog bane Right click on the BrowserSource > Properties > Scroll down a bit > Refresh cache of current page
@analog bane I was going to ask the same thing my "Media Request" is completely blank and not working, so it loioks like it may be down for everyone
Everything else in OBS Live is working fine for me, it is just "Media Request" that died.
same
@slate bough StreamElements menu, on top of OBS > Logout > Login
Or this button here.
@full thunder Did that earlier and no change
@honest echo Ok I refreshed it a few times with that button, at first it did not work, but after the third time it is now showing up, thank you.
refresh button not showing up for me will try next option
Hey i fixed my issue. If uninstall doesnt work at all try system restore
fresh install and i cant seem to find edit stream info on obs live, it doesnt give me the option in the view section
@sick dock make sure to connect your account to OBS ( Settings > Stream)
can someone assist me really quick
@sick dock please double check 🙂
@dry bluff 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.
ill sign out and do it again i did it twice
needing help with overlay issues cant get them on my streamlab source
@sick dock don't seeing the default docks on your OBS, happens when you don't connect your account with OBS (this doesn't have anything to do with obs.live)
it worked, i was logging out under streamelement tab on the top
thank you
whats the difference in the 2 login places
one is for OBS Studio and the other one is for the plugin (obs.live)
Ok hopefully I can explain my problem in a way that will make some sort of since. When i try to stream certain games on the Monitor that the video feed goes to all i get is a black screen. Games like the Div 2 and Borderlands 3 would not show up but Destiny 2 would. I was suggested that should uninstall and reinstall the program and now even Destiny 2 does not show up either. The home screen does show up and smaller indie games like Full Metal Furies does show up on the monitor
makes sense, i had to disconnect and connect back in settings

no, like ik how to put the chat on there but when i put it on my overlay its just a black box and i went live and chatted in my chat box and nothing came up

hi. i will be using to do some multi-streaming. will the alerts i had set up be for both plataforms (youtube and twitch)?
@pearl quest stremelements doesn't support multistreaming
i am not using streamelements to multistream. i am using something else. the notifications like new subscribers/followers from my multistream won't be combined?
?
My bot is not working, if anyone can help.
speak in private
Hello again! I have streamelements obs.live reinstalled and its working now. But when i disconnected the chat bot from twitch, now its not on twitch but obs.live says its connected but then i cant connect it in obs via the activity feed settings. any help?
i cant backup settings and content to the cloud
hey?
im tryna get a stream ended thing on my obs but everytime i put the source in it only has a tiny bit of it and not all of it
make sure the resolution is set to the same resolution as the overlay @rugged quail
@rugged quail The default resolution for StreamElements overlays (theme and custom) is 1920x1080. Please add them in OBS at their full resolution and use CTRL+F to fit to screen if necessary. You can then downscale your stream in OBS settings > Video if you'd like https://i.imgur.com/6bWXxjR.png
hey guys im havving issues with overlays in the stream elements app
they go out of sync in obs
what do u mean by they go out of sync? @real quarry
sure go for it
Oh the widget is what you are talking about right @real quarry
where it shows your follows
and bits
?
I would say try re-adding the browser source of the rotating widget and try re-adding it to the overlay if yu have it in one. If all else fails that looks like the advanced widget made by one of the code gurus yu can try reaching out in the developers api area about it @real quarry
What was it @real quarry if u dont mind me asking was there a text delay or something?
select the layer then click on the settings button at the bottom to change the actual text
oh im stupid thank you very much @wary dew
Hi. So I’m having apparently a common problem. Whenever I try to use game capture, it’s just a black screen. I have no idea what to do.
which game?
All games
Does this mean it broke broke
Are you trying also csgo?
I am
@rugged quail 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.
question... Is it possible to have different transitions between for example scene A and B and a totally different one happening between scene C and D?

hi. I'd like to know how to stream with OBS.LIVE in discord or is it even possible to stream with obs in discord
I have big problem with the gameplay color here. Anyone know what this is called when the colors dont fade properly and it how to fix? Thanks in advance!
i have a active giveaway
people cannot see how many tickets they have
how do i do that ?
hello, i have a problem with the media request on streamelements, when i show the video it starts to do sound double, any help?
Question, a lot of times my alerts are popping up when they are supposed to, the alert in the activity feed shows but the alert isn't popping up unless I refresh the layovers every now and then. Does anyone know why this is happening?
so my obs isn't showing my activity feed (likes, shares, follows) and now my comment feed isn't showing either
I'm not sure if it's because of all of the restarts from updates I did today for my desktop but I have no idea what to do
When i go into my stream elements tab I can see all of my alerts but they're not reflecting on my stream
@full thunder 3rd time I ask for a fix, looks like the mean people get aheah of me =(
I cant figure out how to change the account the activity feed uses.
Its like blocked on my main account, which i dont use anymore, and doesnt show my current account feed.
I tried connecting and disconnecting EVERYTHING on my computer.
Even tried changing the account on the "edit widget data" but i cant, when i try to connect with twitch it automaticly conects with the other account, even if it isnt connected anywhere else
so, im trying to stream vr, and i have it set to capture specific window (vr view) and it isn't showing up on obs, but when i click properties it will show it, just not on obs normally
Hello! So i maybe blind but eh, where can i add alerts etc? I used to go to the site and add the links to obs? Cant seem to find it anywhere
add browser source and use a overlay from the website, or make one
right! thank you!
-Hi, has anyone any idea on why I can't enable a custom name on my chatbot? the option doesn't appear on ground control nor on OBS live, I have everything enabled on my channel (Tipping, panel, bot w/mod) It just doesn't appear anymore- Got it solved 💃🏻
Does anyone know how to fix this? It just doesn't wanna import my scene from streamlabs..
A question I do direct on facebook but I have a problem that when they share my direct the alert does not appear and the only way that the alert appears is that you are a moderator and in the statistics it does not appear that it has been shared for 2 months which is with what that I have the problem
share alert
thanks for your help
@mystic kiln 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
@mystic kiln 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.
Heyo! can we still have a custom bot name?
i redownloaded ground control but i guess im lost
@rugged quail Currently renaming the bot fully works with OBS.Live.
You can follow this video guide to set it up: https://discordapp.com/channels/141203863863558144/494513233416421386/561516184718278676
If you don't want to use OBS.Live and want to stick with Ground Control, please let us know your Twitch username.
oh it looks like the session had just expired in obs.live. thank you! all fixed now
My overlay for my donations/tipping bar is being affected by my donation emulations? Like... I had $15 real money from my previous live, and now my donation bar says there's $50 even though that's not real. Normally that number just goes away and goes back to $15 but it won't. ID is 5f8f309fc0eeba0e535757ba
@dusk ocean just refresh the overlay, emulated tips won't stay
@dusk ocean Right click on the BrowserSource > Properties > Scroll down a bit > Refresh cache of current page
Ah, thank you
but if you need to reset the goal ⤵️ }
@dusk ocean 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 lose followers/subs.
Ah, that was an easy fix! Thank you!
@full thunder hello, i have a problem with the media request on streamelements, when i show the video it starts to do sound double, any help?
Hi im trying to get Sound Commands for subs to work from my stream store onto obs. And i cant get it to work properly. How do i go about doing that
hi i opened obs live and all of my docks were gone that came with the app and i can no longer use them
i'm having an issue where it keeps saying disconnected from server??? not too sure how it's possible i had a 8 hour stream lastnight so i'm at a loss here
hello im new here and i have the problem that streamelements does not show alerts but plays the sound and some other alerts wont even work at all pls help 🙂

already did that seems like the URL streamelements gives to me does not work
Have you check the resolution on the browser source?
I couldn't uninstall OBS live, it gave me this. I have tried reinstalling both OBS and OBS Live to fix it but it didnt work. The pic i attached is the uninstall screen
its 1920 x 1080
while i was live some alerts didnt even work at all some did and some where just playing sound

i need to uninstall and re-install obs.live and it will not let me as it says that the setup wasn't complete but yet it still comes up... i'm trying to uninstall then re-install
Hi, it won't let me install version 26.0 of obs live, what should I do? I already uninstalled and installed it several times
@gray crown how'd you uninstall it i can't even do that
@regal saffron Go to windows control panel
yea i did this is what comes up
That's the installer
yea when i go to uninstall it pops up
First open the control panel, then you go to programs and uninstall a program, look for OBS Live and uninstall it
yea i did that and the installer thing keeps coming up
when i click uninstall in control panel it just pops up with this
then it says "setup was not completed successfully"
Look, try to go to program files (x86) look for the obs folder and there you will have to look for the uninstaller
ok i cliked on it and same thing happened
What the hell the truth, I don't know what's going on xd
me either this is the first time i've ran into this craziness
hello, would someone be able to help me. im just trying to add overlays from the streamelements website onto my obs.live thingy hahah
im just not sure hopw to transfer them
You need to add it in sources and put where it says browser, there you enter the link of the overlay
ahhhh okay i remember now. thanks!
YW

I hope they help me with my problem haha
I can't update my obs
To version 26.0
oh man, im on 20.6.24.635 cause i dont feel i need to if its not broken XD
Is that it does not let me put the stream configuration and all the media that it sees
Okay forget it, I just solved it xd
trying to uninstall, this is extremely frustrating.
@regal saffron I had same issue and i found the solution. First, go to program files and delete the obs plugin files. Uninstall OBS. then download OBS Live Installer, u will see two options. Install OBS and OBS. Live, make sure both boxes re checked. After installation, u can go to uninstall obs live first. The problem i realize is that obs itself is more updated version if you re downloading directly from obs website, where the obs live package is an older version of obs
having troubles switching my overlay from streamlabs to obs.live. i imported the files but i cant activate them
@dim zephyr 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
just barely figured it out before i saw this. thank you very much
I have This broblem
@ripe pulsar Do not post your VOD again!
@ripe pulsar 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.

hi! I need help with my audio, ever since i downloaded stream elements, obs cant pick up any sound from my mic, however when i uninstalled stream elements, obs was able to pick up sound from the mic
OBS.Live is a plugin for OBS Studio and we add 3 docks to OBS and do not touch the audio at all.
That being said try this:
If you are not hearing your alerts and/or Media Request, you are most likely using the Control Audio via OBS option in your browser source properties.
To make sure you hear the alerts and the stream also hears them, follow along the screenshot bellow.

@full thunder hey my OBS.Live does not have a discord option for audio settings??
I try to use the Cloud Backup on OBS Live but can't restore it.
There isn't a Scene Collection to click on.
Anyway to make the YouTube chat dark mode instead of light?
Anything that I'm missing?
Why does the merch banner reappear after I clear it? I don't want to see it.
I'm trying to use the media share overlay but it's not recognizing, only shows a message that says "NO ACTIVE WIDGETS WERE DETECTED FOR MEDIA REQUEST" but I've already put in the overlay the media request

Hi. I started my first stream a couple of hours ago and just went for the start streaming button on obs.Live plugin. I forgot to change/put the game/category I'm playing. Is there any way to do that on obs.live/ obs? Or do I have to do it only on the dashboard of Twitch.
@rotund jetty yes via the activity feed panel. I believe via the menu
omg i jumped the gun. thank you @kindred fox!
When ever I copy a browser link into after editing it and load it is way too large for the surface. What am I doing wrong.
@frosty imp 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
Is there any way to use custom fonts on streamelements?
@ornate hollow 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
- Click on 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.
When I transition to a scene with a StreamElements overlay, there's a "black screen" for a few seconds when the scene becomes active on my stinger transition. This happens when "Shutdown Source when Inactive" is set.
yes. It has to load the overlay. If you're seeing the next scene before your stinger starts/finishes you need to adjust your stinger timing.

Im having some problems with the layouts
Hello! I'm using StreamElements OBS.Live and I had previously signed in with a different account, but now am signed in with my own account and the Chat widget has the currently signed in account but the Activity Feed widget is for the previously signed in account.
How do I clear that account out?

Hello, i am tryng to import scenes from slobs it starts importing scenes then passes to alerts and it fails. how can i go around thiis?
i just updated obs and now all of the obslive stuff is gone
How do I stop my alerts on streamelements from censoring the names of users due to profanity?
https://streamelements.com/dashboard/tipping-settings
Then go to tip moderation
Helloooo!!! Since the last update, my basic computer is having issues with obs.live. Specifically the media player, which I have a youtube playlist playing through it. The problem is: If I have that running and I get bit alerts or other stream alerts, my broadcast starts stuttering and pausing and then I end up on a long delay with my viewers.
So for now, I've switched to running YouTube in Chrome in the background, but, this is not ideal.
Is this a known issue? Or should I be doing something different to avoid these issues? Like I said, I had no problems before the last update so I feel like they're related. Thanks for reading!
ah I see, but this only shows a standard profanity protection, is there a way to censor specific things? like racism but keep sexual or names with normal bad words?
Is there a known issue with video widgets NOT playing in OBS after being added? They're playing fine for the preview during edit, but not visible at all in the app.
I'm trying to bring my alerts over to my obs studio but it doesn't work i got everything setup right in steam labs but it wont show up in my studio

@honest echo the banner at the top of my scene. It isn't showing the updated names and it isn't showing anything at all when I go live
Ok so it looks like it didn't import properly onto the Dashboard sorry
how do i reset uptime timer
Yeah I do that with the part channel join channel and get the "bot active" message in chat but it doesn't display when I type a command
i figured it out
does anyone know why my stream is capped at 20 fps?
only when im in game though when i exit to desktop its back to 60
Nevermind, I figured it out. I guess my settings had a cost instead of a cooldown, my bad.

@honest echo how do i reset uptime timer on the widget
im doing minecraft speed runs lol
@delicate tusk which widget are you using?
I just switched from the twitch beta platform to stream elements so i am doing an initial setup. How do I get my camera to fit into the overlays I added to SE OBS for when I go live

Hi, I've been using the chat bot for well over a year now. Works great. My only issue is that I'm trying to use a custom bot name. I used to use a second account and that worked fine but I've started using my main account as the chatbot so I can use my emotes. It works great for a few days but after a while it just stops working and I have to re log into obs live for it to start working again. I can tell that the bot is still reading the chat, since I am able to update counters using commands, but the bot does not reply at all. This issue only occurs when using my main account, not a separate account. Thanks for your help! 🙂
Use the third option in the drop down menu, even for your main account. The second option that already shows your name is known the be bugged. 😄
Ah alright, thanks mate! That'll save me a lot of time
Hello I have some questions about using the streamelements app as my webcam and integrating it into obs live or if I am able to do so.
@spiral rune Obs.live is a plugin for OBS Studio for the best OBS support, please join their Official Discord @ discord.gg/obsproject
i need some help ive attempted to talk about it before but no one seemed to understand is there somewhere i can show my screen to show the problem im having
i need some assistance with the audio i can hear my game or music and im wondering ifanyone can help me out
hello my chat bot is not saving after logging into the account
Hello! I made a custom animation for a subscriber alert. I've made custom animations for follower and raid alerts with no issue. The video is made in aftereffects, converted to webm then uploaded to streamelements just like my other two. The animation shows in the preview window, but when I emulate an event the default animation shows up. Please help
Nvm...I figured it out. It was defaulted to pick a random animation if the subscription matched more than one variation and just pressing the emulate button triggers this 'random' pick to always be the default animation
So I'm currently having an issue where if i set text in a "recent followers" etc. label to scrolling it does not actually show in my OBS any of the text scrolling or working at all.
I'm also having an issue with alerts where if i set the delayed text appearance for example to 3 seconds the animation for the alert starts however doesn't visibly appear until the text does, however setting the text to disappear 3 seconds before the end of the alert animation causes no issues.
Everything works fine if i ignore those options and make a work around however it looks a bit unprofessional in my opinion so i would like to know how to fix them.
And refreshing the page cache in OBS doesn't work just incase someone suggests that** and the bot answered before i could finish typing lol

Hi, I am new here, and noob streamer, I am using OBS as main software but as my laptop is not so powerful (and I am streaming and gaming from it at once) I'm looking to offload it a bit.

Oiii
I guess this is a question for here. Been trying to hookup my custom bot again for twitch and it worked for a while however now I can not get it to connect at all. I loggin and do all the verification stuff and it just doesn't show up in the list.
@tall edge Did you select your own username?
No. I selected the custom bot name
And went through all the connect custom bot stuff and it doesn't show up after it
As a custom bot name you can select you own username or link it to another account 🙂
try this ⤵️
@tall edge "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."
Yeah step 4 leads to an invalid page
have you restarted OBS and open with the shortcut that you edited?
Having real trouble getting my youtube/streamelements overlay working. All it is, is an alert box. I made it on the streamlements page, then copied the URL into a browser source. I then used my burner account to subscribe, but the alert box doesn't show up. I've only got "tips" and "Subscription" alerts active. what's going on?
BTW, hello folks, nice to meet you all!
@honest echo yep that fixed it. Appreciate it
Ah, I think I fixed my problem...nevermind, but thanks anyway guys
Hi all,
Could you tell me how I can see my Stream manager in OBS Live please? I used to have it as a dock but it's gone now and I don't know how to get it back. Had some trouble searching the net too. Cheers
@patent pagoda make sure that your account is connected (Settings > stream) and then check the view>Dock> Stream Information
Thanks, yeh it's connected, I currently have the StreamElements Menu as well as the Activity Feed active
yeah make sure that you are connected on bot places (settings>stream) and (StreamElements>Login)
will do! Checking
Logged into SE, but in Settings/stream I only have the Twitch connection. Missing something?
im trying to logout and back in
No change
You can see the dock "stream information" under views > docks?
No, it's not there
This are the default docks from OBS studio, try disconnecting your acount and connecting again from settings > Stream
hey guys, does wizebot stop streamelements from running commands in chat?

@honest echo i am using uptime widget
I am sorry for second post same. I am new here, and noob streamer, I am using OBS as main software but as my laptop is not so powerful (and I am streaming and gaming from it at once) I'm looking to offload it a bit. But very confuse about if OBS.live will help if so what is the performance gain?. I tried to google this out but somehow not found much answers. Could anybody solve that for me please?

I did a fresh install of windows 10 on my pc that I stream from. I had a custom twitch bot account before I did this. I got on today and cant get my custom bot account to show up instead of streamelements. does my stream stats need reset again?
I already kicked the bot from the server by the streamelements website. I also un modded the bot from the stream chat and re added it to both and that didnt fix it either
the last time this happened was when I changed my twitch account name. they did a chat stat reset and everything worked fine after that.
can anybody tell me if there is a way to get the "last sub" counter as a browser code from streamelements ?
or "last donation"
Hi again! My obs isn't capturing full screen applications. I did the specific window capture for warzone but there's no option for that for among us. Pls help?

Hi, my friend logged in to my Twitch account (to test something) in OBS and later back to his account. Now he still see my activity feed and not his feed. What we can do to fix it?
i mean i'm a dude but just don't call me sir :X
@sweet kestrel Please logout of StreamElements at https://streamelements.com/logout and then login again to your account (Twitch/YouTube/Facebook).
that should be done by your homie
he can also close the activity feed dock before logout and open it after login
We have already tested this without success. But he will do it again.
Ok ill try those ways thank you so much for this.. and sorry im a Filipino and i cant speak in english well hehe..
streamed for 3 hours and had this issue happen to me, ive did all teh restarts to the router and computer and obs etc!
im having the same problem
@wicked stratus there are some foreign languages channels if you want to check them out
not sure where you're from exactly but maybe.
the solutions we provided were mostly for PNDA, I'm still not sure what your issue is and what we need to fix
feel free to elaborate
@steady wasp 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.
@regal flame that's for you as well 
its only sometime the frames drop but my CPU goes from 2.9% -4.5% and then once im live to shoots up to 10% is that right?
I gathered that (y)
