hello i need help my obs isnt picking up any of my desktop audio :c and ive tried updateing my drivers, restarting my computer

#

@remote canyon Obs.live is a plugin for OBS Studio for the best OBS support, please join their Official Discord @ discord.gg/obsproject

long bobcat
#

generally you want to make sure the device in OBS is set to the device of your windows audio

#

but that depends on your exact setup, so might want to consult there ^

lusty mesa
#

Can any1 help me understand why obs live is lagging for my viewers, aka dropping below 60fps, WITH my same lag-free settings as i use on slobs??

full thunderBOT
#

@lusty mesa 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.

lusty mesa
#

No no im not having frame drops like that,

long bobcat
#

in game FPS drops?

lusty mesa
#

Nope, just a general lagging experience for my viewers whenever action happens on screen. Its not my internet, as my speeds are even better than what you'd need. Could it be because i use display capture??

long bobcat
#

no idea, but it's usually the connection
even if your throughput is more than decent it's up to the amount of data you're streaming to whatever platform you're streaming on
if there's too much going on it will result in those symptoms
might want to consider changing bitrate or resolution

full thunderBOT
#

@lusty mesa Obs.live is a plugin for OBS Studio for the best OBS support, please join their Official Discord @ discord.gg/obsproject

lusty mesa
#

@long bobcat But thats strange, that makes no sense given that when i have the -exact same settings- on SLOBS, there is no such a lag for my viewers?

long bobcat
#

it doesn't make sense to me too @lusty mesa as SLOBS uses more of your CPU
but you are the one that needs to run through the testing and compare
afaik when stream is lagging\buffering for viewers it's usually due to rendering lags that are caused by too much data being transmitted

it doesn't mean you can't optimize your stream using OBS.Live or OBS Studio, but since every setup is more or less unique I'd say the user has to go through the testing

lusty mesa
#

So what does obs.live use? More gpu??

long bobcat
#

what?

#

no, our overlays are cloud based

#

and not saved on your pc

#

meaning not utilizing CPU for anything related to stream appearance

lusty mesa
#

I know my problem...My bitrate EXCEEDS 6500.

#

It spikes up to 8000+

#

Its twitch that is forcefully trying to bring it back down

#

causing the smoothness to dissapear, right?

#

How can i stop obs.live from exceeding 6500 bitrate?

long bobcat
#

it usually fluctuates, even if you choose a constant bitrate.
twitch allows up to 6k, so setting it to higher is sort of redundant
when your bitrate is too high it can cause congestion and rendering lags
i do not know how slobs handle it, but you can try lowering your bitrate in obs.live, and in obs settings > output > advanced > rate control - set to CBR [constant bitrate]

#

but again. there is no 100% here, you have to experiment with the settings and see what provides you with the best result

lusty mesa
#

wow, there is no constant bitrate in obs.live

#

no wait, sorry, there is

#

but it doesn't remain there. Rate control: CBR Bitrate: 6000

#

And yet, it spikes above that

long bobcat
#

as I said, it fluctuates, when it can send more it sends more

lusty mesa
#

But twitch doesn't allow that

#

So why does it try to send more

#

That is the reason for "the lag"

long bobcat
#

the reason for laggy stream is lack of optimization

#

the fact that your bitrate fluctuates upward during stream doesn't matter, it can still happen even if your stream is running smoothly

#

it's up to you to get to the settings that will work best with the streaming service

#

you did it with SLOBS, you can make it happens with OBS.Live too

lusty mesa
#

Its a shame, i really found stream elements to be superior but not in the software it seems

long bobcat
#

oh it very much is, it's up to you to find the sweet spot, as I already explained

#

nothing is preventing you from arriving at that smooth stream with OBS.Live
just a matter of trial and error

mighty scarab
#

Will I have to connect my laptop to my PS4 to use the overlays or will i just have to have the obs open and running to use them and for them to show on stream?

How does one manually update OBS.Live? Automatic update fails, manually running the update from the obs data folder fails, running an OBS.Live installer just install the previous version...

I have OBS running in portable mode, so it's not installed where OBS usually installs by default...does the updater only work on a regular OBS installation or what?

I believe there's an issue getting the text font I see in the overlay editor to my OBSlive browser source. Seems the font gets lost, I can provide screenshots if it helps

@floral pivot 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.

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

Custom Fonts

Steps:

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

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

long bobcat
#

is that of any help? Think @floral pivot

floral pivot
#

@long bobcat seems it was a matter of remaking the font in the overlay, i.e. using the one that came with the premade theme didn't apply but using the same thing by adding it manually worked. Must be some part of the OG's setting that breaks the font šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø

rugged quail
#

What do you need to know

rugged quail
#

As in what parts of my settings

full thunderBOT
#

@bronze condor if a viewer tipped through PayPal but no information appears in your StreamElements account, this generally means PayPal has held the tip for verification. Until PayPal clears the tip and sends back a confirmation to your StreamElements account, no information will appear there and no alert will play, as that confirmation is the only way for us to be aware of a successful transaction. If you believe there may be an issue with the transaction, you'll need to contact PayPal support as StreamElements is only a passthrough service and never actually gets involved with the transaction or touches the money

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

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

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

there's no affect on your CPU as our overlays are cloud based. and you can decide how to divide it yourself

Hey, I've just started OBS Live and it said there's a new obs studio update and i updated then it wouldn't launch (which i could fix by running the updater.exe in %AppData\Roaming\obs-studio\updates). And normally after i update OBS Studio and launch SE OBs Live it would tell me there's a new SE update to download but this time it doesn't. I then downloaded the SE Obs install from the website to see if that will fix it but no luck here either so now every time i try to launch SE OBS Live it breaks my OBS to not be ablet to launch at all untill i use the aforementioned updater.exe to fix regular OBS.

#

and when i have task manager opened it see the obs process starting but then it closes itself

#

when i look at the crash reports it says "(filename not available) (0)" for a bunch of files that actually do exist

#

another thing i've noticed is that in the crash report it seems OBS i tryign to acces files in this folder: c:\local\obs-studio\plugins\obs-browser\streamelements which is a non-existent folder as tehre's no c:\local

#

so something in the code of the new OBS Live update needs to be reworked to no try to access non-existing folders

Hello! Is there a way to switch my OBS.live widget settings from Twitch to FB Gaming and vice versa in OBS for when I stream on different platforms?

full thunderBOT
#

@foggy swallow 1) Uninstall OBS.Live and OBS Studio completely, but leave this unchecked https://i.imgur.com/LBaHgM1.png
2) Download and install OBS Studio from https://obsproject.com/
3) If it doesn't crash, install OBS.Live too.

  • It's fixed? Nice!

  • It crashes again?

  1. Repeat steps 1 and 2
  2. Duplicate the current "Scene Collection" at the very top of OBS, call it something like "Backup" and remove all browser sources in that backup
  3. Install OBS.Live and see if it still crashes
  • If yes, repeat steps 1 and 2, leave OBS.Live uninstalled, tell us that it didn't work and use your old default scene collection again.

#

try THIS

#

you can create profiles @solemn flame
profiles contain settings and layout and the relevant streaming service
you will need to still manually log out of streamelements and log back into it with the desired profile
Also make sure you read about it a bit in OBS forums in order to avoid any issues. it's pretty simple, but just don't go around deleting stuff without knowing what you're doing danucdPRAY

Can you create a new scene and add one overlay at a time and see if they work?

astral linden
kindred fox
#

And you selected ā€œshutdown when not visibleā€ in the browser source properties?

#

Obs is running as admin?

astral linden
#

Obs running as admin fixed it when loading but now i'm losing them one by one

kindred fox
#

And you checked the box in the source settings to shutdown when not visible?

astral linden
#

Yessir

kindred fox
#

So they were showing and then disappeared?

#

So if you add a single overlay to a scene does it disappear?

astral linden
#

They showed after the startup but as soon as i switch scenes and come back to the first they stop working

#

They are still there in sources but can't see them on screen

kindred fox
#

Check box for refresh right under shutdown

astral linden
#

Already checked

kindred fox
#

So here’s a random question: why do you have so many overlays in your scene?

astral linden
#

There's an overlay for follower alerts, one for all the other alerts, a widget for date and a widget for live viewers usually

#

But then again, it was fine until like 1h ago

#

It's been fine for some days

kindred fox
#

All of those can be used in a single overlay

#

No need for duplicity

astral linden
#

Yeah but the widgets are more handy separated so i can edit them on the fly, so i would just go down to 3 from 4. Can this be related to the problem?

kindred fox
#

Might be

#

You can edit widget settings in the overlay editor

#

Try duplicating them to a single overlay and experiment from there

full thunderBOT
kindred fox
#

Let’s try that and see what happens

astral linden
#

Wait english ain't my first language so let me see if i got it: i need to merge the 4 overlays in one and try it on a scene

#

Btw if i go to properties ->Open in StreamElements Overlay Editor it's just a blank page

kindred fox
#

Yup. You can just duplicate your widgets to a single overlay so they don’t lose settings

astral linden
#

Yeah i usually do that wanted to see if it was supposed to happen

kindred fox
#

It’s supposed to work via obs but I believe it’s bugged at the moment

astral linden
#

It works, but as of right now even the other sources work

Private: When a user's subscriptions are set to private, no other user can see what channels they subscribe to. A user's account does not show in a channel's Subscribers List, even if they are subscribed.
Public: When users subscriptions are set to public, another user can see what channels they subscribe to. User subscriptions are listed on their channel page and their account is listed in the Subscribers List for any channel they subscribe to.

If a user has it set to Private they will not show up in the activity feed. More info: https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/7280190

@modest grotto 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

@warm heron Make sure to ballot_box_with_check: ā€œShutdown source when not visibleā€ for all browser sources (all OBS scenes). If using studio mode, uncheck ā€œSwap Preview/Output Scenes After Transitioning.ā€ Also, keep in mind that sound can play from any overlay loaded in the browser (editor or launched). https://i.imgur.com/6bWXxjR.png https://i.imgur.com/yY0wcFl.png

@snow bluff 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

@snow bluff you should use a file with a 1920 x 1080 resolution or scale your existing one in your editor to fit the 1920 x 1080 overlay canvas. Then when it is added to OBS it needs to be added as 1920 x 1080 resolution so it fits the canvas

Restart your PC and try and starting OBS again

trim hawk

tried that, no glory

Then my only other suggestion here is, to uninstall OBS.Live and then OBS Studio, afterwards either install OBS Studio and then OBS.Live, or simply use our installer from https://obs.live to get both at the same time

its important to uninstall in that order

damnit... ok, uninstalling, and then reinstalling... sigh

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

Hey, I've got an issue going on my 2nd PC (Stream PC) involving SE OBS.Live. So I use OBS NDI plugin which involves having OBS up on both PCs. I use SE OBS.Live on both systems cuz why not. Anyway, it just keeps crashing ilding without me even hitting the start stream button. Idk if it's just OBS Studio itself or OBS.Live. The crash wouldn't let me update it so I downloaded the SE OBS.Live installer again to install latest update. It's updated now both ways for OBS Studio and SE OBS.Live and still crashes.

Stream PC has a
CPU: R3 2200G w/ stock cooler
ASRock x370 PRO4 mobo
8GB Team Group RAM
iGPU from CPU
It uses the H265 encoder aka from the iGPU. I've used SE OBS.Live for a few months and it has never done this to me before. Temps are always good on the CPU.

anywho

#

have you tried installing the NDI plugin after installing OBS.Live?

#

as in, remove NDI plugin, remove OBS.Live, remove OBS Studio

#

then install OBS studio + .Live from our installer

#

and then installing the NDI plugin?

#

and by remove i mean uninstalling

ornate citrus
#

OBS NDI was installed when I was using SLOBS then switch to OBS.Live as I only need NDI on the game PC to send the image from my game pc to the stream PC

#

The issue isn't the game pc, it's the stream PC

#

NDI is just a free alternative of a capture card

shy mountain
#

Ok, I wasn't asking where its installed though

#

But you did answer that the NDI plugin was installed before installing OBS.Live

#

or OBS Studio for that matter

#

so uninstall everything

#

in the order i mentioned

#

then install in the order I mentioned

Does your install wizard also take a while to uninstall obslive?

#

It's on an ssd...

  2. In the overlay widget settings, select Text Settings
  3. Click on Enable Custom Font
  4. Type the name of the font as it appears in the windows font directory (This is usually C:\Windows\Fonts)

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

i have heard of pretzel rocks, but is it similar where you can have music playing in stream but wont get any DMCA issues?

#

@kindred fox

kindred fox
#

pretzel.rocks and streambeats are both free music sources that will not get you any DMCA strikes/bans

#

They were designed that way because of how complex music licensing is, and streamers are normally too poor to afford the appropriate licenses to use copyrighted music on stream

I have a friend that is trying to use stream elements for a giveaway, but the giveaway commands are not working in her chat. SHe has stream elements moderated

#

and is live

kindred fox
#

Giveaways are managed from the dashboard

trim grail
#

so i dowloaded this and its just like the regular OBS. im having a hard time understanding how to add stuff to the scenes

@trim grail 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

yes

#

i have been messing with their giveaway thing to see if i could get it to work

#

but it wont register the command

kindred fox
#

are they using obs.live?

gritty steppe
#

they had the points to get them, but the command isnt registering for somereason

#

we tried offline hosting and online

kindred fox
#

Are they using OBS.Live?

gritty steppe
#

no they are using a different obs, but they have streamelements as a bot, and the command isnt working in chat or registering on the website

kindred fox
#

try that

gritty steppe
#

she did

#

i had her part and repart

#

well leave and rejoin it is modded, and she restarted her stream

kindred fox
#

you're 100% sure not using obs.live?

gritty steppe
#

it says in chat the giveaway is active, but noone can buy tickets even though they have the points

#

yes

#

they are using slobs

kindred fox
#

Can you try restarting the giveaway

storm stream
#

Is this the same as obs studio

gritty steppe
#

i did that

#

i even tried not messing with any of the settings

kindred fox
#

and you're sure the bot is moderator in the stream?

gritty steppe
#

the issue isnt happening in her obs as much as it is the program of the bot itself

kindred fox
gritty steppe
#

and yes i checked that as well

#

yeah i use obs live for my own streams, but the giveaway feature can be used without the stream elements obs right?

kindred fox
#

I believe so?

gritty steppe
#

has this ever been an issue?

#

i tested out the giveaway thing on my personal channel and i didnt have the issue she is having where the ticket command doesnt register. i have also tried enter and entry

kindred fox
#

yeah i just tested it

#

And I am not running obs.live while testing

gritty steppe
#

see thats what i did i wasnt even live when i did that

kindred fox
#

me either

#

What is their twitch name

gritty steppe
#

but it doesnt even give the you dont have enough points message

kindred fox
#

I need help getting my TTS to come through to my viewers. It’ll come through my monitor but nothing comes through for my viewers

#

?

tulip hamlet
#

Check your OBS audio settings; it needs to be capturing the same device your alerts are playing through.

frosty plume
#

The alerts are coming through perfectly fine through my obs and my viewers can here the music and the alert sound but no tts.

Why does the text field get so big whenever I type in chat within OBS.Live? This only happens with OBS.Live's chat, not with OBS's chat.

The third option is your connected account. You can select it and disconnect it.
