@teal pelican can't help you decide on the capture cards. there are a bunch of capture cards you can choose from honestly

@noble birch 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

The chat box is glitching between two states; "start streaming to activate chat" and "waiting to go live". I am streaming to YouTube.

I started to configure OBS.live (and my OBS already has a few scenes) but when I imported my overlays from Streamlabs to OBS, they didn't show :(

timing could be tricky
did you have indication for it working prior to the issue?
if so, could you estimate when the issue started?

hey what's the resolution of overlay? I think it's 1920x1080 but I'm not sure

@halcyon widget 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

Hi, My facebook chat is not showing on my stream? Please I need your help.

long bobcat
#

the widget @peak flame ?

#

did this start recently?

long bobcat
#

@rigid crane can you provide a screenshot of the issue so I understand specifically what you mean?
it sounds like game capture is not full screen in your OBS?

#

if that's the case you can CTRL+F while a certain source is selected to make it full screen within OBS

rigid crane
#

ok

#

how can i fit my game capture to this screen left

#

@long bobcat man can you help me?

long bobcat
#

are you not able to freely resize your sources in OBS by just clicking them?

#

you can also right click a source > transform > edit transform if you prefer

#

you want to make sure the overlay's 'screen space' is in fact transparent and not black,
and that the game source is sized, positioned and is listed in your sources based on what you want [below or above other certain sources]

#

Trying to setup NDI to stream from one PC to another. 2 PCs are plugged into a Gigabit Switch via Cat 6/7, but then this Gigabit Switch is plugged into a TP-Link with a Cat.5 cable. Is this going to cause it to NOT work? Both Adapters show 1.0Gbps Speed.

long bobcat
#

I don't think it won't work

#

I used a pretty basic switch, but tbh all of mine were the same
but I don't think it'll be an issue
I assume you can test
worst case scenario get a cat7 for the router p:

#

Wait its working wtf. Its cuz on the gaming PC I Didnt have the right scene selected. LUL

stuck maple
#

I wonder if NDI is as good as my Elgato, in terms of cripsness.

long bobcat
#

I dunno man I'm using NDI and tbh it's as good as

stuck maple
#

The reason for me is, Sea Of Thieves caps off at 60 fps with elgatohd60s card on 2 pc setup. Believe me I have tried everything. NDI is the solution imo

long bobcat
#

SOT OkayChamp

stuck maple
#

Is it better to add the game as a source on the gaming pc and share that via ndi, or just share the monitor ouput

#

Trying to wrap my head around this. Does Internet Bandwidth afffect NDI

#

Or all that matters is that PC1 and PC2 are on the same network with Gigabit Speeds

#

If 4 people are on Netflix streaming in HD, will it affect an NDI Stream between 2 PCs

long bobcat
#

it won't affect NDI but NDI will have less bandwith to work with

#

When I had roommates and a lot of devices were connected to WIFI it reduced my overall output

but LAN connection [as in the connection between your PCs] is reliable and shouldn't suffer from these devices connecting to your network

regarding NDI settings I just use monitor output

#

you can practically set it up as you see fit

stuck maple
#

Gotcha, wow its so handy. Thanks for the help 🙂

long bobcat
#

no worries

rigid crane
#

@long bobcat can you send me a video to do it easyly?

long bobcat
#

when you click on a source, can you see a red bounding box with 4 corners you can resize and move around?

rigid crane
#

yeah i see that

long bobcat
#

that allows you to manipulate it however you want

rigid crane
#

but i have in red bounding box all the overlay not only the source thats why i am asking?

long bobcat
#

you basically need to put the overlay above the game capture, and be full screen
and you can lock it in place to avoid moving it
and then make the game source smaller and have it fit to that box

#

you can hold shift to resize unproportionally
and you can hold alt if you want to crop the source

#

that's how ultimately you can fit it in that box
it doesn't necessarily need to be below the overlay, that's up to you, but resize properly should be enough

rigid crane
#

ok i will figure out how to do it

#

can i voice with you to tell me with detail?

kindred fox
# wispy topaz Im not sure if im just losing it or not but is there a way to switch channels in...

You can create a profile for twitch with appropriate OBS Stream settings and a profile for YT with appropriate stream settings. You'll also probably want to create a Twitch Scene Collection and YT Scene Collection so your overlays represent the correct platform. You will still need to log out of the streamelements menu and log in with the appropriate channel if you wish to use the StreamElements plug-in panels

its not letting me while im not recording or streaming :/

it was working yestrerday before my obs had an update this morn ing

#

at the bottom right of my obs it says OBS.Live 20.10.28.638. should i just try rolling back ?

i even tried rolling back to 26.0.0 and its still not working

Hello. So I'm pushing an alert from my overlay page, I can hear the sound in the browser, I can see the visual input in the OBS audio mixer for the alert, but I can't hear it in my headphones. Did anyone stumble upon this?

maiden wren
#

hi guys none of my alert sounds from streamelements are NOT working. i see the image pop up and the green bar goes up and down which means my stream hears it but i dont.

#

i can hear them in chrome when testing or in the streamelements editor when going through the properties settings. but OBS refuses to produce the sound on my end

I love that every time I come to ask for help from Streamelements support...it’s almost non existent.

#

With all the people in here you think someone and not just a bot would help...

tulip hamlet
#

The bot is triggered by staff, you know. It doesn't talk on its own.

#

And your issue is just audio settings in OBS. You're not monitoring the right audio device.

maiden wren
tulip hamlet
#

No, it's not a bug. Again, it's about your overlay playing to a different device than what you're listening through.

#

It's your audio settings. This is a typical question.

maiden wren
#

Oops

#

Didnt mean to reply to that

tulip hamlet
#

Either adjust your Settings>Audio or go to your Advanced Audio Settings and set the device to Monitor and Output. Depends on how you've set things up.

maiden wren
#

I’ve done both

#

Nothing has changed

#

I’ve been messing with this for probably about 2 weeks now

tulip hamlet
#

I've just confirmed with my own OBS that your alert audio is playing fine through the overlay.

#

Please continue to look at your OBS audio settings.

maiden wren
#

I’m looking now

#

However @tulip hamlet may I send you a pm? It’s just something I would rather say in a PM

#

Cuz I don’t like drama, I just wanna give a you a perspective on something if that’s okay

Hey I've been having issues with my activity feed on both the dashboard through browser as well as OBS. Follows don't show up on either, which means alerts are not going through and are not updating on overlays. I posted that a while back how i logged out and in through obs, checked my filters and saw follows were checked and was told to try through the dashboard to have the bot leave and reenter. Nothing has worked so far.

Been trying to fix this issue for two days now. I open OBS studios and click on start streaming. Usually a window will pop up and ask for the title and description of the stream but now all of a sudden it simply starts streaming. This wouldnt be too bad however even though it says that I am streaming my facebook chat does not pop up nor does my activity feed. I go to facebook and it does not show that I am live at all. I even try seeing the stream from someone elses account and it still doesnt show that I am live. tried uninstalling and reinstalling and still doing the samething. Any help would be great because I am now two days without a live stream.

honestly as a user i really like streamelements, but when things go wrong, i rarely come here cuz i know i wont get help.

whether the bot is activated by staff or not, having a bot respond when you clearly have a large list of staff if very frustrating and disappointing as a user.

Out of the entire staff i see 1 MAYBE 2 people of the staff who actually respond.

I hope you guys will not take this as an attack but I would like that being in this frustrating position is quite upsetting and i just would like you guys to see that.

but thanks for the little help you guys gave.

kindred fox
#

As it isn’t an issue with streamelements but an issue with how you have your audio configured in obs, they are more capable of providing a solution to your issue

#

Odds are that you set default audio devices in your obs settings and your alerts are not playing in your windows default audio device which is why you can’t hear them

#

Or something to that effect

OK so today I'm having an issue with Stream Elements OBS. I have streamed with Stream Elements for two weeks using my PS5 and today is the first time I am having issues. I am getting a BLACK SCREEN whenever I try to stream today. Everything is set up just as it was yesterday, but nothing is showing up on my gaming laptop. Yesterday, nothing showed up but all I can remember doing is closing it out and bringing it back up and it worked fine. Today, not so much. The screen is still black on all my scenes and it wont bring anything up. I have never had to do anything as far as running obs as admin (whatever that means) so I am not sure what the issues is right now.

Hi mates,
I have a problem with the media request in the obs, there is an empty panel. is there any help?

is there an option, that, obs put the stream-chat not everey start back to the white overlay?

odd kraken
#

On every start of OBS the overlays are loaded initally depending on your browser soruce settings also only when you activate that scene. So it will be empty on every start of OBS so, or so.

lilac berry
#

dont meen the overlays, meen the chat plugin in SE OBS

Afaik it is not possible to display previous messages from before starting OBS.

Hey, I'm actually trying to update the OBS.live version but it isn't installing. It says "error opening file for writing". I usually face this error evrerytime i update my OBS.Live but it automatically somehow completes installing after multiple tries but this time it isn't just installing.

  1. you need to restart OBS and the browser after installing a new font

Hey, during a stream today I noticed a got a handful of new followers but my alerts we're working. After the stream I went and made sure the alerts themselves were still working and they are. I then noticed the that the stream elements activity feed hadn't been updated with the new followers, however the twitch activity feed does show the new followers. I've tried to remove the permissions on the twitch side and re-authorize them on the stream elements side but it's still not picking up on the new activities.

I don't know if I could get help with this here, it might be a problem for Epic Games more so. But I want to keep you in the loop.

Whenever I have OBS live open at the same time as Fortnite, and I alt tab while in Fortnite the game crashes. Only when OBS is open on my other monitor. Whether it be at launch or mid game.

I'm using DX12 on Fortnite. Game Capture on OBS. I've uninstalled all plugins (Apart from Streamelments) and Verified my game files.

Again this may be a problem for Epic games not you guys, but wanted to keep you in the loop. My guess is; its a DX12 compatibility issue.

Would lowering the resolution help with webm fps issues?

low skiff
#

as in, you're playing a webm on your overlay, and its lagging?

turbid arch
#

Yea

#

Not sure but I lose so much FPS due to those alone I believe.

low skiff
#

if you can lower the resolution of the video file itself, it could help, however just scaling it down... i dont think will help all that much. Make sure that you have these settings on. Right click on the Media source > Properties

turbid arch
#

I have those checked

low skiff
#

then you might have to scale down the original file if you can.

turbid arch
#

How and where?

low skiff
#

how do you have the media file source set? is it set to a local file?

turbid arch
#

I use the SE site

#

Also the person I got them ordered is no longer on fiverr...

#

So can't ask for fixed and lower res sadly.

low skiff
#

wait, do you have the video on your streamelements overlay?

turbid arch
#

Yes

low skiff
#

Ah. then that should hopefully be quite simple

#

open the properties of your streamelements overlay source

#

mark "Use custom frame rate" if its not, and set the FPS to 60.

#

see if that works

turbid arch
#

Ok

#

All set to 60fps

low skiff
#

alright. see if that improves it.

turbid arch
#

Alrighty

#

I believe it was natually 60 but maybe setting them that way will cause any issues.

i was under the impression that it runs at 30 when not manually set, but i could be wrong.

What do your settings look like for the browser source? (try to avoid showing the latter half of the URL that has the seemingly random letters and numbers)

slender moss
#

i'ts OK, but, still not working

if you launch the URL in a browser, does the overlay show there?

^ what he said. just gonna doublecheck a couple other basic things first before starting to really dig into the details.

pale saddle

say guys wanted to know why my alerts do not appear on the screen, I do everything right but it doesn’t appear if it’s some obs configuration? my streamlebs tbm doesn't appear bro what do i do

#

also

low skiff
#

@slender moss go here in your streamelements dashboard and (click the ... button) "copy URL" of the overlay you're using, then paste that into your browser and see if THAT shows your overlay properly.

#

@pale saddle open up your StreamElements overlay editor, and down at the bottom click on the bell "EMULATE" icon and select Follower Event. double check that it appears in the overlay editor when you click it.

slender moss
#

still not working...

low skiff
#

or any event that you have set up, rather, if you have follower events disabled

pale saddle
#

I've done it all, pasted the right URL, did everything right, pasted everything in the browser, just the sound comes out, but the image doesn't appear. i live on facebook i'm brazilian and i can't solve this, i used streamlebs before but also have the same problem there, only the sound comes out but the picture doesn't come

low skiff
#

@slender moss alright, so then it sounds like the overlay itself might be the issue. click the Edit button on overlay you're trying to get working..

pale saddle
#

appears in my editor on the estreamelements website, but in the obs it doesn't appear at all

slender moss
#

@low skiff ok, fix Overlays are ok (on browser), but, alerts is not workin,

unreal topaz
#

well

#

will somone help me out?

cinder agate
#

@pale saddle is it lower in the sources list than say, your game/window capture?

unreal topaz
#

why my song request is dubbled

pale saddle
#

yes, the alerts do not appear, as I said on the site yes I do the test everything appears, when I see it on the obs it does not appear, only the sound comes

#

screenshot in obs

low skiff
#

@pale saddle what is the order in the Sources list in OBS? if its lower on the list, it may be behind something else. your overlays will need to be up near the top (click the ^ and v arrows next to the gear below sources)

#

as you can see, by changing the order, it shifted which object was "on top" of the other

#

@unreal topaz as for your song request, it's probably because you've got it playing in two different areas. possible places you may have media request playing that would produce sound:
Media Request panel in OBS
StreamElements Overlay
Browser at streamelements.com/dashboard/mediarequest/general
Ground Control

#

you probably have two of those open/active playing the media request.

slender moss
#

in browser tests is everything ok, but on OBS still not working

low skiff
#

hmm... for the sake of it, if you don't have something static on the overlay (something that always appears, not just alerts), go ahead and add a text block in the StreamElements overlay.

#

see if, at least, the text appears in your OBS with the overlay set up

slender moss
low skiff
#

but you saw it working in the browser, right?

slender moss
#

yes

low skiff
#

best i can say is to try to recreate the source.

#

turn the old source off (click the eye icon to close it) then add a new Browser source, take the URL from your overlay directly from the StreamElements website

#

make sure the width and height are set to 1920x1080

#

after you save the source, open the properties again and see if it appears correctly in the source preview window at the top

slender moss
#

I think my problem is beyond OBS, I use OperaGX to browse, but I have Chrome installed.

earlier I was having trouble loading the overlays editor page, but in OperaGX it worked again, but not in Chrome, I formatted the PC recently, maybe some plugin is missing so that Chrome can read the Overlays

low skiff
#

hmm... i suppose connectivity may be a possible issue in your case if you were having difficulty loading the editor, though chrome should be able to view overlays with a fresh install.

#

what do you have on that overlay? like chat box, alerts, videos, images, etc...?

slender moss
#

I have one for each thing, chat, alerts, Kappagens, etc.

#

it's separated

do you use ground control or the media request panel in OBS?

#

and do you want the media request video to appear on stream?

delicate pasture
#

Am I asking in the correct channel?

low skiff
#

yes. sorry. i missed the question... as for the update error you're getting, i guess simply enough, i would go to that file, right click > properties and make sure Read Only isn't checked. if it is checked, uncheck it, apply, then click the "Retry" button.

#

otherwise, you might need to try to uninstall and reinstall.

delicate pasture
#

Okay thank you, if I uninstall and reinstall, it keeps all my settings, layovers etc right?

low skiff
#

i'm not 100% certain. but if you export the profile, and import it after installing, it should carry over all of that.

#

let me double check

#

ah, profile includes just basic OBS settings that you've changed, however Scene Collection includes the scene and source settings. so Export your Profile and Scene Collection from OBS, then import them after a reinstall.

#

right up at the top menu. both Profile and Scene Collection have an Export option in their menus

delicate pasture

Thank you!

Hey guys, I just got this new pair of Jeecoo Xiberia headphones, and for some reason it's not showing up in OBS Studio (for Mac) as a device either as an audio input capture or an audio output capture. I know the USB is connecting because the headphones are lighting up, but still can't get it to show as a device. The headphones do work when I use the audio jack that comes along with it but I can't connect them as a device through that- think I need the USB. Any help is MUCH appreciated

unreal topaz

@unreal topaz So then it's probably one of two things. Either you have more than one browser source with the overlay loaded in OBS, or you might have multiple overlays with the media request widget, or both.

Make sure that you have all browser sources in your OBS set to "Shutdown source when not visible" otherwise you might have an extra overlay somewhere that keeps playing in the background. Also, if your overlay editor is open, it will also be playing audio there, and not just in OBS.

Second, if you have multiple StreamElements overlays, make sure that you only have one media request widget that would be active among them all. e.g. if you have, say, 3 SE overlays, and in one scene you use two of them, make sure that the two you're using there don't both have the widget.

Hello - the audio for my alerts isn't going off in OBS or on the stream but its working in the editor.

unreal topaz
#

THANKS!

#

❤️

#

@low skiff

low skiff
#

Got it working?

#

@real nexus visuals for alerts are working, correct? If so, right click on the browser source with your alerts overlay in OBS, select properties, and try checking "Control audio via OBS". this will add a new item into the Audio Mixer panel in OBS that shares a name with the browser source. using this, you can adjust the volume, mute, and more importantly, see audio activity via the colored bar. then test an alert and check if you see audio activity on the bar.

#

if you're able to use the Activity Feed panel to replay a recent alert, that would be ideal to test it

#

but running an emulated test from the StreamElements overlay editor would work, too, if you have the emulated test set to "Preview LIVE on stream"

real nexus
#

So now its no longer coming out my speakers but it is coming through the stream and i can see the the activity on my audio mixer

low skiff
#

well, that is expected performance when setting OBS to control the sound, which means OBS is receiving the audio.

#

you can disable that setting now.

real nexus
#

that worked. Thank you

low skiff
#

so now you're able to hear it without any issues?

#

you'll probably, just for the sake of it, want to make sure "Shutdown source when not visible" and "Refresh browser when scene becomes active" are both enabled on your alert overlay source @real nexus

real nexus
#

the alerts are on every scene so theyre visble and always active

low skiff
#

ah.

real nexus
#

before that though it wasn't working at all which is odd. First half of stream has no alerts but should be fixed for next one. Thank you again

#

hi everyone I have a problem, I recently got micro stuttering in my stream and the video looks so blurry if you need details about setup etc. please feel free to contact us.

low skiff
#

stuttering and blurred video... are you getting any dropped frames? are you having trouble with audio? if not, it might be the bitrate you're streaming at. if it is, increasing bitrate will help sharpen the image, but only if your internet speed supports it. decreasing the bitrate would make it smoother, but it'll look pixelated if your streamed resolution/framerate is too high.

raw topaz
#

So I can definitely stream with 6000 what I do actually

#

fps drops I have absolutely no ingame fps are constantly over 100

#

and the inspector also shows me that everything is running smoothly and there are no problems but you can see it in the stream, I've already tried everything and watched 1000 youtube videos none of them helped so I'm here maybe it's because of the current update or on windows 10

#

My friend is currently streaming. He is experiencing an issue where his stream gameplay is stuttering, but the gameplay on his end is not. His cam and audio is not having issues, and he has not dropped any frames in obs or experienced "encoder overloaded". This stuttering was not happening on fortnite, but it is currently happening on COD: Black ops cold war. I have his current log file if that will help

forest roost
#

he just rebooted his computer and is going to restart his stream here shortly. we will see what happens

raw topaz
low skiff
#

hmm... Do you know what GPU you have? everything looks pretty solid there. the only things i can think of would be to perhaps try turning off Psycho Visual Tuning (seeing a lot of mixed opinions on that setting) and maybe switching to the x264 Encoder.

raw topaz
#

i have an i7 7700k processor and a gtx 1060

#

I haven't tried turning it off yet but most people say yes you should leave it inside when playing shooter games

forest roost
#

my friend has a gtx 1650 and uses nvenc h.264 (new)

#

i'm just kinda going with you guys here just because it's a very similar issue

raw topaz
#

Yes, but apparently not many have this problem, I don't understand why I can't stream normally with such a good setup, there are friends who have a much worse cpu and gpu and stream in 1080p smoothly and I can't even do it in 900p

#

allegedly, windows 10 is also to blame

forest roost
#

i felt that with you for a while tbh. i had a decent setup and couldn't stream, but i had friends who had horrible prebuilts that could stream perfectly

raw topaz
#

I feel your statement 100%

low skiff
#

those were just a couple ideas that i could think of. i unfortunately don't have a nvidia GPU, so i can't vouch for their encoder or those two settings on whether or not they're better on or off.

raw topaz
#

a few have also said that it could be due to my RAM slot but I have 32GB and so far I haven't noticed anything unusual

low skiff
#

nah. it sounds like your system shouldnt have any trouble.

forest roost
#

i've been streaming on the nvenc h.264 (new) encoder myself for a while and it's been pretty great

#

it was super helpful when the updated came out because i could not stream smoothly in the slightest on my old i5-6600k

low skiff
#

are you streaming at 30fps or 60fps, Kobold?

raw topaz
#

60fps

#

I think 30 fps is too choppy for shooter

low skiff
#

hmm... i was under the impression that 1080p@60 wanted ideally over 7000 kbps.

raw topaz
#

I stream at 60 fps at 900p and 6000 kbps

low skiff
#

hmmm... then that should be good, i believe.

#

actually, twitch suggests 6000 for 1080@60, so there goes that idea.

#

try this... copy the settings as best you can over to the Recording tab of Output, and try recording you playing a game. see if there's any blur or chopping in the recorded video.

#

that should at least help us rule out the internet.

#

i know you've got upload near 10, but an example, i'm clocking at about 12Mbps upload, but if i try to push my bitrate over 4k i start seeing performance issues on the stream. i can record at a 15k+ bitrate without any issue.

raw topaz
#

ok i will try and when i finish i will send you a private message

#

but then it should normally show in obs that your internet is going crazy, with me it is always in the green and + the kpbs goes over 6000 now and then

low skiff
#

so then maybe recording will do the opposite, and point to a non-internet issue.

frank urchin
#

so i know this is obslive, but does anyone know why my alerts have stopped working from stream elements to SLOBS. i have it in browser source and the url is what is saved on stream elements. but when i send the test alerts i hear the wrong audio and nothing comes up. or nothing comes up at all. Any ideas?

low skiff
#

so you're using SLOBS, but are you using StreamElements overlay, or have you transferred those over to SL? if you are using the SE overalys, when you go into the StreamElements overlay editor, do the alerts work there when you do test alerts?

frank urchin
#

im using SE overlay to SLOBS for alerts

#

the alerts work on SE website but not on SLOBS for test or LIVE

#

it was working yesterday fine but all of a sudden it stopped

#

^

low skiff
#

does anything else on the overlay work? if you don't have anything else, just temporarily, add a simple text widget and save it, and check if it appears in your SLOBS stream preview

frank urchin
#

nothing worked

low skiff
#

so, best i could say, is delete your old browser source in OBS

frank urchin
#

like i mentioned before it was working yesterday then just stopped

low skiff
#

grab the URL from the SE overlay editor, and readd the browser source with the URL.

#

give it a try. it may work, it may not do anything.

frank urchin
#

still not working

rugged quail
#

Sup would like to know how by alerts, if anyone can help dm please

low skiff

hmm... can you get any webpage to show up by using a browser source? literally any webpage. google, yahoo, twitch, youtube. just plug a random URL in there and see if it shows up.

rugged quail
#

I use the muxy.io but I do not know where I put the URL know how to tell me ?

frank urchin
#

@low skiff ill try

low skiff
#

@rugged quail you need to add a Browser source to the Scene you're using. it will provide a "URL" field for you to put that in.

Sure. They're the two most popular Twitch extensions, and aren't really harming anything. Any reason you want to remove them?

Hi, I have two OBS profiles with two different twitch accounts. When I switch profile no pb for OBS and Twitch but StreamElements stays connected either on one or the other twitch account, I have to manually logout/login each time I change my profile (to get activity feed etc...)

#

Is there a way to automate this or link a SE account to an OBS profile?

outer willow
#

is there a way to download the overlay because the overlay always takes about 30 seconds to load and i would rather have it just snap right into the overlay

@potent onyx no, you will need to relog every time

ok i like it but to problems i am having because it has two overlays up its playing the sounds twice and the other is i use a streamdeck and i cant seem to find a transition key imma keep looking for that one

topaz charm
#

a couple genereal questions, how do i get my follower goal on stream elements tyo update to what it is on twitch and when ppl follow the alerts i have arent popping up

#

seemas like a relatively easy issue so sory to waste time from whoever helps me

#

this doesnt update to the amount of followers i have

shy mountain
#

@outer willow you can move the alert widget on its own overlay and just add it as a browser source -> right click it -> copy -> go other scene -> paste as reference - this won't generate double sound

full thunderBOT
#

@topaz charm 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.

topaz charm
#

thanks

outer willow
#

is there a chat i can show you want im talking about because that doesnt seem to work

#

like vc

shy mountain
#

Im not available for a voice call

#

I know what you are referring to - the shutdown when inactive option

#

and it causes the overlay to load in when you switch the scene

#

but if you remove that option or use studio mode

#

you get double sound

outer willow
#

yes but the way you told me to do it would make it active

#

in studio mode

shy mountain
#

so to circumvent both issues - you will have to create a blank overlay, move the alert widget to that overlay, remove the alert widget from the old overlays, add the new overlay to 1 scene, without the "shutdown when inactive" option turned on, right click the new browser source -> copy -> go to other scene -> paste as reference the source

#

this will have the same source loaded in all scenes at all times

#

circumventing the load issue

#

and the double issue

#

then you can remove the 'shutdown when inactive' option on all overlays

#

and don't use studio mode with this method

outer willow
#

ooohhh ok i see what your saying

#

well the studio will work if i can find a way to transition using a stream deck

shy mountain
#

there isn't a button afaik

outer willow
#

yeah ill have to figure out a hotkey or something cause thats the only way i can do that

Hey folks - Hoping you can help. This is probably a quick fix, but the text on my alerts are not showing on stream. I started using OBS Live yesterday for first time. I had downloaded an overlay and gone in to edit it. I added customer sounds, set minimum amounts to trigger alerts and then copied the URL into a browser source. During the stream I got sound alerts for follows, raids and subs but no on screen message. I did not get either sound or text for hosts, and they didnt come up in activity feed so had no notification of any hosts at all (of which I know there were several). Am thinking I havent set something up - or changed something I ought not to have. If anyone can help then let me know - feel free to DM me 🙂

I'm only able to get sound for my store redemptions in OBS.Live if I have the SE overlay editor up on a browser tab. I have the store redemption widget installed on my overlay and it has worked in the past but if I save changes and close my editor, the item is redeemed in OBS without the sound playing on stream.

Does the streamelements custom bot name not work 24/7? Is it only when obs studio/obs.live activity feed is open?

@ember dune view > docks > stream information or streamelements menu > activity feed

#

@craggy eagle yes. When obs.live is open it will run the custom bot name. If it is closed it will not because the information for the bot is not being sent to twitch

@kindred fox thank you!

hi! my streamelements bot stopped working suddenly yesterday. Was hoping it would fix itself today, but nope! None of my commands are working, timers, or anything. I went to the dashboard and had the bot part channel and then join channel, but it didnt do anything. Dont know what to try next! Thanks!

Hey I keep clicking elgato remote in tools and I keep getting this in my stream deck

#

Anyone know what that might be?

kindred fox
#

@jaunty elk did you re-install the stream deck plug-in?

jaunty elk
#

Where would that be?

Can I provide my 6 crash reports to someone in here? I just had 6 OBS.live crashes within a 2 hr period.

Didn't matter what I changed, it just kept crashing about anywhere between 7 mins to 1 hr.

I sent the report via the dialog box each time.

Yes, I ran it as admin in windows.

full thunderBOT
#

@swift nymph Please provide a log from your last stream. To do this, in OBS go to Help > Log Files > Upload Last Log File and paste the link to the log file here.

#

@jaunty elk 1) Open %appdata%\Elgato\StreamDeck\Plugins
2) Delete the com.streamelements.obslive.sd plugin folder

kindred fox
#

Try that

swift nymph
#

How can I provide a log file from a crash incident? If I provide the current log, it's going to have nothing as I'm not live anymore. I can, however, get the text file from 1 of the crashes. I noticed the time stamp that's how I know.

#

I'll post it but it's not from a crash

kindred fox
#

Post the text file of a crash

swift nymph
#

I can do that?

kindred fox
#

Yeah just upload le file

#

Fix your color range

swift nymph
#

there is a log file from a crash

#

Color range from full to partial?

#

I've always had it on full and never had crashes like this before.

kindred fox
#

Partial is best

#

This might seem stupid, but is your obs updated?

#

It looks like frankenface is crashing it

swift nymph
#

it is up to date, yes. oh...really? I'll remove it

kindred fox
#

Idk why but that’s what I’m seeing in the log

#

It should work

#

So idk

swift nymph
#

ok cool.
I'll give it a go for sure.

Thank you @kindred fox

#

BetterTV matter? I have both enabled

kindred fox
#

Doesn’t look like it

swift nymph
#

I thought it would give viewers more emojis to use but I'll remove it if it makes a difference

#

Ok cool

kindred fox
#

Unsure but from the log it looks like a 503 error with those emotes

swift nymph
#

sure thing. you understand more than I can so I'll take your word for it.

kindred fox
#

I hope it works

swift nymph
#

I'll run some tests tomorrow and see

Using OBS Live v26.0.2

Alright, so i'm getting into streaming and set up my profile all nice and everything, used a preset overlay from streamlabs, and everything was good yesterday for my first stream (using game capture as my source, this will be important later)

Come today, I am trying to figure out why my display capture source isn't working, and it has to do with me using a laptop and the integrated GPU/Standalone GPU setup that they have for power saving. Cool, so after looking around I find the solution. I go into the windows graphics settings and set my graphics preference to power saving for OBS, and voila, I can use display capture for games that weren't working with the game capture source finally.

So now comes the tricky part, I go back into OBS and my overlays aren't working (using browser as my source, and the streamelements website/built in overlay thing) so I try and refresh them using the reload overlay button built into OBS, deleting and re adding them to my sources list to make sure the link wasn't changed for whatever reason, or i didn't mess it up by accident. Still nothing, so out of curiosity, I go back into my graphics setting and set my preference to High Performance on OBS, re launch it, and my overlays are working again. I thought maybe it's a bug or a weird little glitch, I switch back to Power Saving and once again they are not working. I tried setting my google chrome to use both Power Saving and High Performance, to no avail... as well as restarting all of my overlay sources while on power saving mode (deleting and re adding into my sources list). I can't seem to figure out why, or what is causing it to not work properly when set to Power Saving mode.

So I've been having this problem everytime I open up my obs. My webcam doesn't work. It says its on and i made sure that every scene except the one im using it on is turned off so that its only being used once, and its not being used on any other app. It worked yesterday when I updated obs studio but when I turned it back on today it no longer works

bruh i used obs live

so the official support of streamelements is just, go to obs support?

kindred fox
#

Obs.live is a plug-in for obs studio. Your issues are related directly to obs studio and not the plug-in

fringe kelp
#

ah

kindred fox
#

The best place to get support for obs studio is obs discord

fringe kelp
#

thanks

kindred fox
#

We have a little experience with obs but the issues you both have are outside our knowledge

#

@untold dust obs discord has a laptop guide in their discord which walks through how to fix your issue

If anyone wants to actually be helpful as oppose to making me play ping pong between supports, feel free to reach out to me.

Those guys tend to be assholes if you use the obs.live plug-in. Thanks for letting us know

@kindred fox Appreciate it, i missed the browser source section on that page as it was towards the bottom and out of the way, seems like it worked. I just hate dealing with support on anything, and was getting annoyed with the issue, you rock though lol

we try to do what we can, but unfortunately obs support egos ruin our user's experience when they need actual help. glad we got you fixed!

@subtle chasm 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
