but viewers can request vids, right? no control over that if that is enbled
well
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
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 ^
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??
@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.
No no im not having frame drops like that,
in game FPS drops?
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??
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
@lusty mesa Obs.live is a plugin for OBS Studio for the best OBS support, please join their Official Discord @ discord.gg/obsproject
@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?
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
So what does obs.live use? More gpu??
what?
no, our overlays are cloud based
and not saved on your pc
meaning not utilizing CPU for anything related to stream appearance
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?
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
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
as I said, it fluctuates, when it can send more it sends more
But twitch doesn't allow that
So why does it try to send more
That is the reason for "the lag"
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
Its a shame, i really found stream elements to be superior but not in the software it seems
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
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?
@long bobcat
I never received my email for S.E. Pay and have money pending. I dont know what to do about getting this money.
You have to wait until the details are being verified, like it says in the yellow box
It has been sitting in that status since March 2020 and per the instructions it stated that I would receive an email and set up the account. That never happened.
@wise sphinx Please contact us via email for support with SE.Pay. You can use our contact form here: https://streamelements.com/contact Thank you.

Has anyone ever had any luck using google Sheets API to pull data into a streamelements custom widget? I'm trying to get 2 columns of data from a spread sheet to input either into stream elements or into OBS. Anyone that can help is amazing!
Best/most useful plugins for obs? Streaming games?
Alright so I'm trying to update my obs add on and this is the error that keeps happening. I tried updating from the app and straight from the website. I'm unsure of how to make this work. Advice is greatly appreciated!
OBS Live has started crashing shortly after opening
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?
Does anyone know what options there are for me to create a window with my chat during my streams? I am trying to have an in VR overlay set up
Hey!

Hi folks! Does anyone know if I can see when someone redeems a store item while in OBS Live? I have "redemptions" checked in the activity feed, but I don't see anything in chat or in that window when an item is purchased with points

i did update obs live (streamelements) to version 20.12.9.680 and ever since i cannot get game/display capture to work... just showing black screen... might need to revert to previous version? please help
@clever nova Obs.live is a plugin for OBS Studio for the best OBS support, please join their Official Discord @ discord.gg/obsproject
OBS.Live does not alter how game or display captures work. You'll be better off asking for assistance in OBS Project's Discord.
Hi team, I was wondering how to get the Request Media widget working again, it's being non responsive on my end
Media Request*
Ok nevermind it works again now ll
i just updated by OBS.Live to version 20.10.28.638 and when it restarted non of my previous set StreamElements overlay are showing? #helpdesk-selive thank you
@sharp willow Please ask your question in one helpdesk channel only. A support volunteer or StreamElements staff member will assist you as soon as they are available. Asking in multiple places will only result in confusion, not faster answers. Thank you for your patience.
thank you, i didn't realize there was a help desk after i posted my initiall question in general. thank you for clarification.
someone just cheered bits and nothing is showing in my activity feed. Alerts work if I re-fire them but anything new so far since the update isn't showing up
re-logged and still nothing is showing up
so i'm not the only one thus far.
okay now it just picked up someone doing a cheer, but it just picked up the first one that never showed. Huge delay, it seems
mine sorta different issue, my chat overlay, kappagen and alerts aren't showing up at all.
someone speak portuguese to help me?

is it safe to update to the newest version of OBS live?
@north copper Uh. Usually the questions is "is it safe to update OBS Studio?"
Plugins need time to catch up to the main program, not the other way around.
The most recent version does support OBS 26.1 if that's what you're trying to ask.
I'm having some issues with the color my capture is showing as in OBS. Running through a Razer Ripsaw HD capture card. Through OBS, I'm getting a very weird hue in the color scheme, but on my display output from the capture card, everything is normal. any thoughts?

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:
- 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.
is that of any help?
@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 š¤·āāļø
mmm a little buggy bug rears its head 
When i try setup chatbox on stream the text is not going under the first line it carries on going straight across and cutting off is there a way to fix this as i think i have tried everything
hey how do i stop my kb/s to stop dipping to 0 - 1000 and its normally 2300
@rugged quail can you screenshot what you're referring to?
@rugged quail typically if you're dropping like that you have a network issue
Is there any settings I can change @kindred fox
hello, im not sure if this is the right channel to ask but I can't find where to check my donations at all, it would be amazing if someone can get back to me as soon as possible on this as I am quite worried about it. I didn't get the tip donation alert either but I'm absolutely sure that i have received donations. I stream on twitch. if this is not the right channel to ask may I be directed to the appropriate channel?
Don't know. depends on what your settings are currently.
What do you need to know
yes i will screenshot also my links are showing up as ** when i put in a command
As in what parts of my settings
@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
@rugged quail the *** is a Twitch setting that you need to disable link moderation on your twitch channel via your Twitch channel settings on Twitch
probably encoder settings. did you by chance specify a single ingest server?
Yes
ok, then it's probably encoder settings
which I believe is in OBS Settings > Output
i think
Ok
alright thank you so much i really do appreciate the very very quick response. Thank you so much have an amazing day!
are you using nvenc?
screenshot your encoder settings window
Iām on phone atm so sending pic
Cuz my WiFi down and Iām using data
Thatās the output window
if you're streaming on your hotspot, that's probably why you can't stream
@rugged quail To add your overlays to OBS, add a new browser source in your scene. Paste your overlay URL in the browser source properties, set the dimensions to 1920x1080 (unless you changed them on the website) and check Shutdown source when not visible. https://youtu.be/KDvLynUqXI4
Under encoder bot thereās Software (x264) and Hardware (AMD)
what CPU do you have?
odds are your CPU is probably getting killed
Ryzen 5 3600 rtx 2060 16gb ddr4 ram
I mean it normally runs fine
But it recently started going bonkers
I havenāt done anything
Under encoder bot thereās Software (x264) and Hardware (AMD)
@rugged quail
Which should I use
No...
If you read it
Iām getting a big upgrade
Early jan
Then went to say the specs of my new pc Iām getting
@rugged quail
@rugged quail
Oop
Under encoder bot thereās Software (x264) and Hardware (AMD)
What should I use
Honestly I have no idea.
you might ask in the OBS Discord, as they may have a better idea why it's dropping like that
wish I could help more
@kindred fox that worked thanks
Should game mode be disabled while streaming?
Itās recommended
ok thanks @kindred fox
Hello,
when i start Obslive today i have this on screen
i have last update
what i can do for repair this?
@kindred fox what i can do with this?
does anyone know why i cant minimize or change the size of OBS.Live when streaming? Also, why is this using 40% of my CPU? ?? SLOBS was using 5% w/ 8500bitrate
Can reinstalling OBS fix huge fps drops sometimes?
I'm having that exact same issue @dusky meteor
It's been like this for a while and I can't figure out what the problem is
I went up to the StreamElements dropdown at the top of OBS, clicked on Uninstall OBS.Live and then redownloaded it from the website and it seems to be fine now
Also, my OBS has been crashing when I go to raid someone. As soon as I type in the command /raid in my chat in OBS, the entire thing crashes and my stream ends
Thank yoU! That didn't delete your overlays, did it @dusky meteor
?
No it did not!
Awesome. I'll try that, thank you
You're welcome!
we raid from the Twitch Creator Dashboard and it works fine. Maybe try that on your next stream and see if it happens?
I tried that my last raid and it worked alright, it's just a pain to have to pull it up out of the software :/
Maybe once I uninstall & reinstall it'll feel better
we have both open when we stream, but I totally understand!
But definitely try it after the update
oops, uninstall/reinstall
@sullen vault 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 it safe to update OBS to 26.1 or should I wait until the OBS.Live plugin gets updated?
What would cause all of a sudden random frame drops. Net speeds are fine. I havent changed anything as far as settings go. Idk.. Im lost =[
Hello! I always have the Twitch activity feed and the OBS.Live on my screen, but with the last update I can't figure out where to activate it once again, can you help me please?
@magic horizon When the OBS is pulled up. Try clicking the StreamElements tab. Itll have a drop down where you can check those things. See if that works.
yeah, but it only gives me the activity feed on alerts, not rewards for example, that's a different tab
I cannot find the option now
It is safe, as long as you update OBS.Live too.
@oblique linden 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.
Hello, I was wondering if I could stream on two platforms at once from the same client? One could stream directly on twitch, the other as a virtual camera on YouTube. How do I get the game audio to appear on YouTube, if I'm using the virtual camera?

Hi there, potentially silly question, sorry, but I've noticed that if I have OBS.Live installed, the 'check for updates' button under OBS' help menu no longer appears. Is this intentional and how can I manually check for updates in OBS if OBS.L removes the button?
as an aside, I've noticed that OBS.Live breaks some functionality re minimising to system tray, but I can live with that.
Is there any way to change the activity feed and chat in obslive from twitch to youtube? I have both accounts linked on stream elements website but in obslive when I click on the activity feed menu tab, it only shows my twitch channel and the stream settings for twitch.

@tulip hamlet ok you're actually right, thanks for pointing that out! how come I'm not able to see sponsorships yet?
Because they haven't been offered to your account yet.
Hi, I'm having an issue with the chat bot sending double messages. I tried removing the custom bot name and re-adding it and that seemed to work, but the next time I went to stream it was doubling again. Can I get some help with this?
@empty stratus Go to the Dashboard > Right side > Part channel > Join channel(https://streamelements.com/dashboard)
I'm assuming we do not update to obs 26.1 correct?
That didn't seem to do anything, unfortunately, still getting double messages.
OBS.Live 20.12.9.680 supports OBS 26.1
𤩠thank you!
i had the same once did you log out from SE through OBS?
i had to log out and back in
the obs update button under the help menu is gone, so I don't know how to get the update box for the new obs version back
I dont know if this is the right chat but in the overlay editor > Streamtools, chatbox doesn't show up and I would love to be able to access that function
@rugged quail this widget?
That seems to have fixed it. Thanks a bunch!
your welcome š
how do you not have it?
can you screenshot your editor?
what browser are you using?
asking staff
nvm fixed it
Future reference: Go out of the editor and select the correct account for which overlays your editing. I was on youtube.
that would do it š
I need a little help

sooooo i just updated to 26.1 because streamelements popped up saying install. now i cant open obs at all. it just doesnt load
has anyone run into this recently with this new update
OBS.Live is compatible with OBS Studio 26.1?
I remember they posted something that the new OBS 26.1 update was incompatible with various plugins including OBS.Live .. Then OBS.Live was updated but they didn't post any changelog, so I don't know if it is already supported or not.
i just uninstalled and reinstalling now
highly unfortunate, but i wasnt paying full attention
OBS.Live didn't work for you in OBS 26.1?
so ive noticed this past couple weeks, i will be streaming and about a little after an hour my stream will crash but OBS still says im streaming and i have to force quit OBS and bring it back up for it to work again. anyone else have this problem?
advice on what to fix asap please
every update i have to lower the quality of my stream, its not my PC nor is it my internet, which elaves OBS
leaves*
@silent horizon 1) Restart OBS
2) Start your stream/recording for about 30 seconds. Make sure you replicate any issues as best you can, which means having any games/apps open and captured, etc.
3) Stop your stream/recording.
4) Select Help > Log Files > Upload Current Log File. Copy the URL and paste the link here.
Note: If you do not see an obsproject.com URL, you will need to update OBS Studio to version 22+.

The default resolution for StreamElements overlays (theme and custom) is 1920x1080. Please add them in OBS at their full resolution and use CTRL+F to fit to screen if necessary. You can then downscale your stream in OBS settings > Video if you'd like https://i.imgur.com/6bWXxjR.png
the OBS.Live plugin @drowsy lodge 
should i have all my widgets/alerts/overlay in the same browser sources or should I keep them in separate browser sources?
and what is the effect on my cpu/gpu?
do you intend to stop posting your questions in several channels @drowsy lodge ? 
there's no affect on your CPU as our overlays are cloud based. and you can decide how to divide it yourself
I personally have the MR in its own overlay, alerts and redemptions in their own overlay, and the visual stuff in their own overlay

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
hope this helps you in debugging
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?
@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?
- Repeat steps 1 and 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
- 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 
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 
@solemn flame Obs.live is a plugin for OBS Studio for the best OBS support, please join their Official Discord @ discord.gg/obsproject
in case you want to diver deeper
I've tried to edit and use some themes and they preview/edit blank. A blank page doesn't add anything to layout when I click to add widgets.
@long bobcat Thank you!
Hi all got a question about chat notification for the obs side is there a way to get a notification for the chat overlay so if someone types a message u get a notification im a small streamer so i dont get many ppl chatting and i have missed a message or 2 im trying to make it a priority to read chat more but as they say every little helps

If you meet these criteria and donāt see SE.Pay, let us know.
For information on SE.Pay payment methods, their fees and settlement times see https://streamelements.com/dashboard/tipping/fees
I live in Denmark, I'm 19, and I have 450 subs, but I can't do it
Where do I let streamelements know?
ive never had a problem there but i run all in admin mode have u tried that
i am struggling with custom commands can anyone help
no not yet i guess i can try that soon probably would fix it would you run both as admin?
My OBS.Live application will not open
hi, ive just downloaded the update and now myt webcam source has a green flicker. My camlink works fine on other applications so its specific to OBS.Live. Can you help?
i have set up a Prime custom command and it will not post anything when i type it into my chat on streamelements OBS.live
my follower goal widget is not in sync with my follower count on facebook
Would a inconsistent bitrate cause crazy frame drops? I have everything else set up like lots of YT vids show and Iāve recently been dropping frames. Also I have an 8700 and 1080ti and for whatever reason I drop my frames encoding from my GPU. Please PM if you can help
I have my stream elements open and the activity feed saying no stream activity, how do i get it so comments likes etc show up in there when i stream to facebook
i had a friend do it for me but for some reason it's stopped doing it
Is there an easy option for doing closed captions ? I am streaming on Twitch and want to enable something, but I would prefer something that has options for the viewers to enable disable and adjust. Is this something I should be looking at OBS plugins for or Twitch plugins?
Youāre welcome
I recommend the obs plug-in by ratwithacompiler as it leverages the CC integration within the twitch overlay and users can enable/disable them
i have discovered that my entire chat bot for Streamelements does not function at all, roulette/gamble, commands, or any custom commands all do not post when a command is typed in chat
i have completed as many troubleshooting ideas i have found online
@magic quartz StreamElements menu, on top of OBS > Logout > Login
apart from that hahahha ok thank you iwill try now
my follower goal widget is not in sync with my follower count on facebook
everything i use ti stream with is ran in admin its less strain and i find everything running more smoothly
unfortunately this has not fixed the issue @full thunder
@magic quartz Go to the Dashboard > Right side > Part channel > Join channel(https://streamelements.com/dashboard)
i have completed that troubleshoot
i have logged out and in on website a few times as well as OBS.live
deleted and recreated the commands
default commands are unresponsive also
i am trying to create a back up and to accomodate a reinstall now
but each time it hit 100% i get the file too large error message so i will have to input all my media again which is fine as my sources are named
i am sure that its the updates that have messed with it as it worked before when i ran a giveaway
i have had 3 udates for OBS live and one for the studio backing of it in the last 3 days
Every Time I update obs.live obs keeps wanting to update again. Because for some reason Obslive is trying to update to 26.0.2 instead of the newest version
Thanks!
yeah am reinstalling now]
fixed, redownloaded and installed
upon reinstall from the link provided by the streamelements dashboard it asked me to update was that normal for you too
update to 26.1
first studio now live bnoth being updated to 26.1
not fixed, my default and custom commands do not respond
i do not have streamelements blocked either
how do I turn off chatbot?
haha i want the opposite
this is how to part the bot from your channel buddy
from your dashboard
Are you using a custom bot name?
not to my knowledge seeing as i cannot find the menu to change it
would i usually be able to see Streamelements chat bot in the users list
in either OBS Live or dashboard
i think this is the right spot to put this in... i tried to update obs and it wouldnt update... heres the image of the alert. also please ping me when someone replies (or even better have the person replying ping me) so i have a better chance of seeing this
I asked staff. Waiting for them to look at your issue
Hey has anybody had issue adding the custom bot option to Obslive? I go sign in and go through the Authorization approval and still wonāt add it
@kindred fox thank you
I updated yesterday to OBS Studio 26.1.0 / OBS.Live v20.12.9.680 and now my camera source is just a black box.
The camera still works in other applications, just not in OBS.Live.
I have removed and re-added the camera, restarted, checked connections - something with the software update seems to have started the issue.
Any ideas?
the new update isn't coming up for me. It moved to OBS 26.1.0 without adding the new OBS.Live Update.
i have updated Steamelements obs 26.1.0, my activity feed box is acting weird on my right Dell monitor, it was not doing that before but it does not do that on my left benQ monitor.
but if i toggle the activity feed box, it fixes the problem but my scene is pushed back to the right. how can we fix that ?
Different resolutions on the monitors?
Might also be how much screen real estate can be dedicated to the window
how can i put an overlay
@simple glacier 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
thanks
@kindred fox i always use streamelements on my right Dell monitor & i never had any issues until the update.
I donāt know what would cause that issue
@kindred fox well the Se.staff should be warned about that.
I have two monitors and havenāt seen the issue
@kindred fox OMG i fix the problem, i have change the display settings.
it seems 100% was recommend for my monitor and not 125%.

Hey! I'm having an issue with my overlay browser sources, some are working but some others are not. Is this a problem on my end or something is happening server side?
@astral linden 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
Everything was fine like an hour ago, i already added sources, and when i add them as new i get the same result
The ones that aren't working yes
@astral linden 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
Try this ^^
This broke the ones that were working too lol
Enable hardware acceleration and try again
@full thunder thanks for replying earlier today, was live and just checked the messaged now and it really did help doing steps 1,2,3. Appreciate theq quick response!
Nothing changed š«
Can you create a new scene and add one overlay at a time and see if they work?
Same as the other scenes
And you selected āshutdown when not visibleā in the browser source properties?
Obs is running as admin?
Obs running as admin fixed it when loading but now i'm losing them one by one
And you checked the box in the source settings to shutdown when not visible?
Yessir
So they were showing and then disappeared?
So if you add a single overlay to a scene does it disappear?
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
Check box for refresh right under shutdown
Already checked
So hereās a random question: why do you have so many overlays in your scene?
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
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?
Might be
You can edit widget settings in the overlay editor
Try duplicating them to a single overlay and experiment from there
To duplicate or copy your widget to a new or existing overlay, select the widget and use the Duplicate button. https://imgur.com/a/Ng4uhRU
Letās try that and see what happens
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
Yup. You can just duplicate your widgets to a single overlay so they donāt lose settings
Open it via streamelements.com in chrome
Yeah i usually do that wanted to see if it was supposed to happen
Itās supposed to work via obs but I believe itās bugged at the moment
It works, but as of right now even the other sources work
Thanks for your patience!
No problem! If you have other questions feel free to ask!
Will surely do, thanks again!

@tulip hamlet I thought I had to reply to the bot, or it wouldn't get through. my mistake
@tulip hamlet as in obs itself and obs.live?
Yes.
What do people suggest for video conferencing?
Just want to drop by and report that there is an issue regarding updating. I started OBS on one PC (without OBS.Live) and got notified that there was an update to OBS Studio 26.1.0. Then on my secondary PC running OBS Studio with OBS.Live, it started and told me that there was an update, but because i already was updating another program i had to close OBS, After i could start OBS again i tried the StreamElements menu check for update and nothing. i tried multiple times and nothing. I got a friend who also run Studio with live and there was no update as well. Then i tried on my secondary machine just update OBS Studio from their website and after that i got notified from SE that there was an update. Same on my boddys pc
is obs crashing for anyone else
i imported an overlay from streamlabs on the streamelements website, how do i use it>
For update bug with "obs-virtualcam" still in use, close all programs (browsers especially)
Otherwise go to: <obs directory>\data\obs-plugins\win-dshow and delete "obs-virtualcam-module64.dll" or "obs-virtualcam-module32.dll"

hey guys it seems like after the update the size od the text in your chat box is much smaller and harder to read. Is there a way to fix or increase it? Im having a hard time seeing it on my laptop
NVM! found the answer! If you logout of streamelements on obs and log back in, it will work.
Hey, is there a video or a forum that discusses the new feature that it doesn't play music on the VOD?

You only signed up today. Twitch does not send a history of events.
Anything prior to signing up is unknown to the system.
I had it prior a few days ago
I even did a test run of a new follower and dollar donation and it does not appear
@ember spruce 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

is anyone having issues with streamelements bot not showing up in chat when going live?
@hoary patio 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.
5eedd5f32a3f0425c70e3198
@hoary patio 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
will give it a try
@tulip hamlet yeah, I'm dumb. Lol. I noticed that after I saw the pop up message
thank you @tulip hamlet
hey there! wondering if i can get some help please. i recently had to change my twtich password and now when i try to live stream on obs it doesnt work and i receive this message
but i cant seam to find anywhere on obs to paste the stream key, there is no option in the settings>stream tab to enter it
@inland kayak Stream key is not used if you logged in directly. Disconnect and reconnect, instead.
@tulip hamlet thankyou! that worked
im having an issue where i cant see my viewer count in streamelements obs live
I have a quick question, my "connect custom name bot account" opens, I do the login thing but never loads into OBS Live for some reason. Should I uninstall and reinstall obs live to sort out this or could I do something else to fix it?

i have creatted the save overlay 3 freaking time and it still isnt bein g used and nothing is explainging to me how to do anything PLEASE HELP
@cunning delta can you explain what youāre trying to do?
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
Trying to put this in my broadcast and the YouTube video they just sent me was 3 years old and didn't help
It being 3 years old doesn't mean its not up to do date
on how to add your overlays to OBS
in order for them to show up.
Well it didn't help me sadly and I'd how to make like who's subbing to me or anything pop up on my screen
Everyone looks different now then in their video
Is anyone going to help me or just tell me or just keep telling me I'm stupid for not understanding the video they sent me more or less
No one is saying you are stupid, btw.
You are currently referring to 2 different things, or so I rather things its 2 different things.
Are you having issues showing the overlays on stream?
As for the new subs
@cunning delta Users can choose to make the channels that they subscribe to public or private. By default, all settings are set to private.
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

Hello! I'd like to request some assistance with getting alerts while doing restream. I've linked my Stream Elements account to both Twitch and Youtube, but I'll be using Restream to stream to Twitch, YouTube, & DLive. (And yes, I know about Twitch's exclusivity rules, no I'm not affiliate.)
Do I need to do anything special to get alerts to pop up from YouTube subscribes and DLive follows in addition to the standard Twitch follows?
SE doesn't support multistreaming
I figured I'd probably have to figure out a way to run them as a browser source, was just hoping it was a bit easier than that, lol.

@warm heron Make sure to ballot_box_with_check: āShutdown source when not visibleā for all browser sources (all OBS scenes).

@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
Hey Is anyone here to help me real quick?
@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

We can't help with an .overlay file, but you can take your assets and import them into our overlay editor, to use our cloud-based overlay system.

Push F11
just thank you. my braincell big dumb
No problem! Have fun!
Is it possible to run a poll through StreamElements like you can with cloudbot?
hey not sure if this is the right place but I can't figure out how to share overlays with the person I made them for. Can I get some help?
if you cant just drop them into a discord channel try dropbox or google drive or something
I mean how do I get the right link to give them
What link?
If you made say a transparent overlay with some effect and it's a .png you just send them a .png in discord & they'll click that to DL the file
so they can have the overlay in their overlay manager and stuff
an overlay manager?
They click new overlay then select it from their computer
There is no share option. Overlays can only be duplicated between channels you have editor access to.
but I got one from the alpha gaming discord. It was a share link that gave me a custom overlay in StreamElements
youre just sharing a file that contains an overlay
Verified vendors have links created for their offerings. It is not something provided to the general public.
Can someone please help me figure out how to enlarge my text in the area of the chatbox in OBS? Since the update the size of text and font changed and i can barely see chat now
how do i activate my overlay for obs studio i got one from there site but can't figure out how to use it
@quartz tangle 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
The Sub goal widget says I have 61 subs, but I only have 26 according to twitch...is there a way to refresh this and fix it?
@jovial kiln 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.
Hey i'm not getting any video on obs on stream?
@naive sage Obs.live is a plugin for OBS Studio for the best OBS support, please join their Official Discord @ discord.gg/obsproject
Hello, I am having an issue where I am trying to update OBS.Live, but continue to get the error relayed in the picture.
The internet notes that the application must be closed and, if that doesn't work, Reboot my PC. I have tried both, and this error still occurs.
I attempted to uninstall both OBS.Live and OBS, but i reach an error stating simply "Installation Aborted."
@junior dragon close everything and open OBS with admin right and try again
I had no luck opening OBS with Admin. I was able to uninstall and re-install OBS & OBS.Live thereafter to get set up to 26.1.
I need help please Iām trying to get my text to speech working I can hear it on my end but my viewers canāt hear it from their end I donāt know what else to do.
Is there a way to remove the media request tab entirely from the obs setup?

Help please?! My obs just did an update, and it has completely stuffed up. It tried to update multiple times at the same time, and now it won't restart. All I get is an error message 'Failed to initialize service'.
Restart your PC and try and starting OBS again
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
Back up and running. Thank you. I have lost my OBS virtual Cam in the tools menu though. I have reinstalled it, just in case that was needed, but it is still not listed in the tools menu. Will I need to do a full system restart again?
26.1.0 (64 bit, windows)
it is there, but I use OBS virtual camera for Skype calls, and also use it in discord chat... it isn't working in either of those programs anymore
in this case I can only suggest to ask in the OBS discord here: https://discord.gg/obsproject
hey guys when i media request in docks it just shows blank any ideas as to why?
@frail wolf StreamElements menu, on top of OBS > Logout > Login
Oh, I have to activate it there now? It used to be turned on auto in the Tools menu....
I remember it was a separate install as well, but i don't know how it actually works right now as I don't use it my self since it was integrated into OBS it self
I'll have to look into this more... can I start stream while virtual cam is also turned on using the control buttons? Hmm... why change something that wasn't broken? ok, time to relearn
Consider that OBS.Live is a plugin for OBS Studio
Thanks for your help with the other KeiZar
meaning that we had no design decision here or say into how virtual camera was integrated
hi im struggling with changing the text in overlays and also getting my obs to work see my videos and overlays can i have help

Thank you
This is not a message for help as have fixed my issue, this is a message to inform others that if you are experiencing issues with the Streamelements chat bot then I have a solution for you,
It took me a while to figure it out and I have tested it back and forth, to make sure but I have discovered that the Streamelements chat bot does not function, instead I have had to change the name if the bot to my username for it to work
We do have several solutions for that š
Go to the Dashboard > Right side > Part channel > Join channel(https://streamelements.com/dashboard)
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
and another one that is longer
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.
PC specs has nothing to do with the crash most of the time
@ornate citrus 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.
Thing is it doesn't say it crashed. It just closes on it's own. I haven't downloaded anything on it in a while.

5 days, i'd still consider a couple 
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
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
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...
Did you uninstall OBS Studio first?
no im going in ur order
Then it shouldn't take long at all. Its most likely downloading something to fix up OBS Studio
It's just stuck https://gyazo.com/8b7e3030d750cb6fa7ae9386d2c2b1f5
hey guys my overlay isnt working on OBS its not showing anything from my overlay but it plays the sounds
@twilit scroll 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
could also just try to refresh the cache on ur overlays^
@ornate citrus how would you do that?
@twilit scroll Right click on the BrowserSource > Properties > Scroll down a bit > Refresh cache of current page
dosent work š¦
did you check the box then in the advance tab in settings? see if that works
i did that
idek if i have that on
oh I do
restart ur obs
@shy mountain it's still aboring the uninstall
nah i got it just had to make a new browser source for it idk why
thanks for the help
It's saying "NO UR NOT ALLOWED" lol (twas a joke its not really saying anything besides setup was not completed successfully.
just another question i have no idea CSGO is the only game i cant game capture
tried that i think CS is just super weird
@ornate citrus just asked our devs and the uninstaller is not updated right now
since you have the NDI uninstalled, try using our installer now
well we'll see if obs stays up or dies
heyo so i made a donation goal, however it seems to have all my previous donations over the last 9 months using Stream elements and I cant seem to refresh it to zero
@hallow turtle 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.
perfect didnt even think of that thankyou to the bot
Hey, Can someone help to why I cant put text over a video? in Streamelements overlay editor
But here it works?
Put it above the video in the layers list like in obs, or photoshop
Yeah ive done that
Wont work
but look at this weird thing
Like when I put the two together, it works? Like what in the actual
Pretty sure your text widget isnāt at the top of your layer list
Huh. That is not supposed to do that
Yeah
Its bugged
And it wont revert no matter what I try
Its somehow impossible for the text to be put in front of that little video
Which theme is that?
Not even an image will be put infront of it
Tried to work my way around the bug, wouldnt work smh
"Force Field"
Ok
What is our next step
you inverted the bottom video and placed it at the top?
I just replicated your scene and was unable to replicate the issue
what browser are you using to make your edits @lusty mesa ?
I literally inverted the bottom video widget, relocated it to the top, and added a new static text label
Try and delete everything except that one widget
Oh and....It wont let me save a custom font on another overlay š
Like, the preview works! But not in action
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.
Sorry not a "custom" as a custom,. but a custom as a "another one" than the theme default
Okay. I've replicated the issue and reported it to staff
Hey anyone german here for support questions?
Did any have a solution for my streaming problem?
i always get framerate Drops even if i Stream shooters.
I have a really Good pc but it wont work as well as i thought..
So I was wonder what the best way to get notifications and alerts is for multistreaming. At the moment I am using Twitch, Youtube, and Facebook. Do I have to make overlays for each platform or is their a simpler solution. Thank you š
FYI I am using Restream
Ok...lets give this one last go, and see if someone has an answer.
Is there an issue going on with OBS live SE? I did an update on Monday and since then it has not been working?
Chat, activity feed and preview window are all solid white. logged out and now can't log back in, uninstalled and reinstalled and same issue.....
Hey š I've been having some issues with my Follower alerts for a couple of weeks now - all of my other alerts (raids,bits,subs etc) work perfectly but I do not get any alert/sounds when I get a follow. My rolling 'new follower' widget also does not update... I'd appreciate any help regarding this! Thanks š
Can you relocate OBS to another drive?
Why is my "top tip" label not working? All the other like "most recent tipper" works like normal in the set up on the website?
Anyone work with Soundtracks by Twitch? i had it working months ago and something went wrong. The VOD source is gone and when I click add source, its no longer there. I've deleted Soundtrack app and reinstalled several times. It's like the plugin wont install, when i go to settings it has a button to install but it doesnt do anything. I have reported it as a bug
Hello there ! I made a bad manipulation closing the chat and the activity feed on Obs.Live ! How can I re-open it ?
go to Streamelements at the top next to Help, scroll down and click the checkmark for chat and activity feed
Thanks you so much @urban forge !
your welcome š
Twitch soundtrack seems to be a problem for a lot of people, and I believe their licensing for the music available in the app doesnāt include streaming rights for streamers. Youāre better off using something like streambeats or pretzel rocks
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
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
thank you @kindred fox , like i said i have heard of pretzel but dont really know anything about it. i guess ill check the google machine
during live stream obs is disconnecting and getting connected several times.....please help me with this
Do you get dropped frames?
my overlay is like 4 fps... only doing this recently.. any idea why?

StreamElements does not support multistreaming. If you mean multistream
If you want to change the platform then you need logout and then login with other platform

YEah, I know that, but when people type the command !ticket in chat nothing happens
Are they live right now?
yes
i have been messing with their giveaway thing to see if i could get it to work
but it wont register the command
are they using obs.live?
they had the points to get them, but the command isnt registering for somereason
we tried offline hosting and online
Are they using OBS.Live?
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
Go to the Dashboard > Right side > Part channel > Join channel(https://streamelements.com/dashboard)
try that
she did
i had her part and repart
well leave and rejoin it is modded, and she restarted her stream
you're 100% sure not using obs.live?
it says in chat the giveaway is active, but noone can buy tickets even though they have the points
yes
they are using slobs
Can you try restarting the giveaway
Is this the same as obs studio
and you're sure the bot is moderator in the stream?
the issue isnt happening in her obs as much as it is the program of the bot itself
OBS.Live is a plug-in for OBS Studio providing StreamElements integrations
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?
I believe so?
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
see thats what i did i wasnt even live when i did that
but it doesnt even give the you dont have enough points message
don't link the channel

I need help getting my TTS to come through to my viewers. Itāll come through my monitor but nothing comes through for my viewers
?
Check your OBS audio settings; it needs to be capturing the same device your alerts are playing through.
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.

Hello, I'm looking into an issue where I do not have the option to add a custom bot name.
@runic flax 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.
I am not given the options shown in the video guide, I do not have an option to connect another account
@runic flax 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
The third option is your connected account. You can select it and disconnect it.
