In advanced audio settings i click the dropdown and all it has is my headset
@sturdy agate 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
@tulip hamlet i got the advanced audio settings on monitorand output now and it's still not working.
@sturdy agate Obs.live is a plugin for OBS Studio for the best OBS support, please join their Official Discord @ discord.gg/obsproject
I have been fighting every day trying to get this to work -- audio notifications so I can hear it. I took the sound alerts out of my overlay and create a separate browser source. I added the browser source to OBS and set it to control audio separately. I have turned everything up and it shows on stream but I don't hear it.
how do i add obslive as a plugin rather than a separate obs application? i'm on macos
Hey, I’ve purchased a new computer I see that OBS live has a cloud server.
My question is, when I save my scenes does it save all the sources with it? And translations? I really don’t want to have to play with anything would rather just to be able to export and stream.
OBS.Live is a plugin, not a seperate OBS application. OBS.Live will not function without OBS.
Ok, but when I downloaded OBS.Live, it installed a different version of OBS. v20 alongside my current v26 installation
is there a way to shuffle media requests, not just the backup playlist?
My sounds on my obs are not coming through on my streams I don't if I set them up right or if there was a update?
@quick flint Obs.live is a plugin for OBS Studio for the best OBS support, please join their Official Discord @ discord.gg/obsproject
I don’t know if this is the right channel for this question.. but what are the recommended system specs to run obs.live?
OBS.Live is just a plugin. Look at the specs for OBS Studio.
So OBS studio is really the only one I need to worry about?
Yes.
Okay, thanks
How does one on a MAC have their twitch chat docked in OBS.
I use a PC and am helping a friend setup OBS but she can't have chat or activity log as part of her OBS?
@wise dune OBS.Live is a Plugin for OBS created by StreamElements. You can download OBS.Live here: https://streamelements.com/obslive
Please make sure you have the latest version of OBS installed, Current Version: 26.0.2. You can install OBS here: https://obsproject.com/
It doens't look like OBS.live (which i use on pc) is available for mac tho?
It is.
Weird, okay. I suggested she do the "autop configure" which is what I did when I setup OBS the first time and that it set me up with .live
The download button is for the Mac version when the page is viewed with a Mac OS.
Thank you ❤️
(i had written something, then deleted it, because I thought i fixed it....i didnt) My Subscriber text is NOT animating, i toggled it off, and on, and it worked, ONCE in the emulation in the editor. but now, its back to NOT working again. This worked perfectly for months, and all the other alerts, that employ the same fonts, sizes, spacing all still work, any ideas??
@real tulip 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.
I know this is a bot, but for the person who comes along to have a look, That's not it. Its there, then its not. (as i mented, i toggled the alert on and off again, and it worked for 1 iteration) for shizz n giggles, i set it back to 50, no dice.... its not off canvas.
It was triggered by me, and it is it. Your variations are set to -250 because you gave your box a weird height that goes off the canvas.
odddddd i never set that that way... i see it now though, thank you
Mac?
Thanks
New question
I have audio input capture on and set to monitor and output
but then everything echos
I'd like to hear alerts as they happen, but not have them double up
Do you have the alerts loaded in a different scene as a fresh/new browser source?
Problem with activity feed showing previous Twitch channel login instead of currently signed in account. Help available?

Thank you!
Will there ever be Stream Elements Gaming OBS For Mobile?
No plans for mobile gaming support on our mobile app or OBS
At least OBS.Live is a plugin for OBS Studio
meaning that OBS supports game captures via external game capture cards/cables
Hey guys. I keep getting dropped frames on my streams. How can I sort that out
@zenith walrus Obs.live is a plugin for OBS Studio for the best OBS support, please join their Official Discord @ discord.gg/obsproject
@high kernel 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.
Thanks so much. What is the recommendation of upload for streaming
@high kernel There are no "best settings".
Please understand that every setup will be very different.
Any guides or videos that claim otherwise are misinforming. Your best option is to start with a base and adjust as necessary.
You can run the OBS auto-configuration tool. To use the auto-config, click on the Tools menu in OBS, select Auto-Configuration Wizard, and then just follow the on-screen directions.
You can use this tool to get baseline settings for your hardware and adjust as necessary from there.
Test, test, and test again. We are happy to offer suggestions for any issues you may be having afterward, but not a list of settings.
Thank you
Ok cause my upload speed is 3mb and it should@be 20
thats a problem with your ISP
That are working on it and this morning it was 8mb upload. That’s why I am asking that’s the required upload speed
There isn't a specific required upload speed
but usually the bitrate should be around 30% of the upload speed
Ok thanks
Morning morning - hope everyone is good! Wasnt sure if I should post here or the twitch help channel - but here feels more relevant! Trying to get custom chat bot name set up, Ground Control doesnt have the option right now, but struggling to follow online "tutorials" from YT to get a fix - anyonwe have a similar prioblem fixed recently or can give me some pointers? Thanks in advance
Earlier today after setting up some stream alerts for the first time, I was emulating them while I wasn't live. The alerts all popped up on the web browser for Stream Elements and simultaneously the expected and hoped for way on my OBS. When I started streaming later, the only alert that seemd to function, was the raid alert.
None of the follows showed up in my StreamElements events but the raid did. I can't figure out what happend.
I've also been getting an odd echo, that happens on occasion when I'm emulating my alerts.
@frigid stratus just double check that youve not accidentally set up 2 alert boxes (I know I know sounds dumb) but thats what I did and then hardly any alerts worked - emulating the alerts and getting an echo is because it plays on desktop audio through SE and also through OBS at the same time - it doesnt effect stream audio
@cerulean notch 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.
@frigid stratus 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.
@cerulean notch I appreciate the advice. I can't see any way that I could have two alerts set up. And I guess it's surprising that earlier when everything seemed to operating as expected, there was no echo. Le sigh. I proud as a peacock earlier today.
@full thunder therealsaltshaker
@full thunder Or do you mean the account ID that starts 5ff?
^^Not a reference to me?
reference to you
Hi! im new to stream elements and just downloaded an overlay from sellfy. The images are in png and when i try to add them in SE it says: These settings apply to new subscribers that aren't gifted. What shall i do?
Not sure who or what "sellfy" is.
I assume you are looking at a variation setting?
@shy mountain nothing changed on my end. I'm still getting echos and nothing popping up on my OBS in the alert box.
Not at first, im at the default setting atm.
I still have problems the activity feed (shows no new followers) and my bot isnt working
Right, I didn't see that you mentioned an echo issue, but I did fix this
None of the follows showed up in my StreamElements events but the raid did. I can't figure out what happend.```
@frigid stratus Make sure to ballot_box_with_check: “Shutdown source when not visible” for all browser sources (all OBS scenes). If using studio mode, uncheck “Swap Preview/Output Scenes After Transitioning.” 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
Ah, @shy mountain this has gotta be a tough gig. Thanks for trying to help me see the light you saint.
@wooden horizon 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.
@wary rampart Ok, i'm not sure what the issue is right now.
it`s crownFPS_
@shy mountain Oooh, well thats a step in the right direction. I'll look over what I'm hopefully going to learn from all that and doubly hopefully will learn something. Thanks!
or the large one with numbers and letters? @full thunder
The issue is that i cant seem to add a png as a alert. What kind of image does it need to be
scroll
also don't show the overlay link, security risk for your account
@wary rampart PNG should work jsut fine
Eek, thanks.
"Scroll down" "Don't give away your information" It's time for a reboot. Smh. Thank you.
If its late, i recommend suicide with a pillow on your bed and resurection with an alarm clock some hours later

Ok but when i try to emulate nothing has changed from default
Check the variation of the alert
In my chat it SE says "StreamElements bot running" but when I type command nothing happens
@wooden horizon 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

A night's/morning's suicide with a righteous resurrect might be right. I feel for you @shy mountain. May the patience of 100 stones be with you today.
When I emulate in StreamElements, it should pop up on my OBS right?
All working now, thanks guys!
@frigid stratus 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
its, unfortunately 1:30PM right now for me, so i'm not even tired yet
Yeah, all that is clicked. I double checked the URL in my browser source. I made sure the source is at the top of the scene so it should be the top layer. I'm not sure what rookie move I've made. The effort to understand is here though.
if i remember correctly you haven't setup the resolution properly
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
Bless you.
And the box you had me check earlier should ensure that the next time I stream, I'll hear and see all my alerts whilst Live and also listed in the the "Activity Feed" popout that SE has?
And finally, where's my survey? You get a gold star.
survey is in your heart
SE says I have 1 Follower, twitch say 37. Is that just a discrepancy that'll exist because of whatever I had screwed up earlier?
The main dashboard page should your monthly gain, or weekly, depending on the settings you choose above the graphic
also we track events from the moment you sign up with us
anything from the past or before the fix, won't be shown
Okay, well then you're my #1 on that page. Thanks! MEOW
how do i link the stream deck with ob.live so i can change scenes and all that jazz
i added the action but it wont let me select the scenes i want
yeah but if u do the more actions and u can select the strema elements one
i am streaming with it open
its confusing lol
Or you can install our integration and see if that helps
if it doesn't then try reinstalling the streamdeck software
my chat in obslive has error all day long cant read the chat
Errors? Can you show a screnshot?
During my test alerts I can see my follower alert during my live stream but when I get actual follows on my twitch it does not show the alerts on OBS. Any ideas?

@gray elk 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.
im using the stream elements action on the stream deck
And if you are using these?
Same issue correct?
then either its an issue with OBS or with your streamdeck
that doesnt work either
If you are having issues with Elgato hardware or software, we recommend reaching out to their support here: https://e.lga.to/help
hit more actions on the stream deck and type stream elements and it uses the obs.live

Hi, i want to setup NDI plugin but the second computer cant decode the flux.
someone have this problem ?
Intel 8600k, 8go ram, no GPU.
What is the best setup for beign able to hear your audio notofications between StreamElemetns and OBS LIve / Studio? I have the audio in a separate scene in OBS, and separated by itself in StreamLEements and referred it in a browser. Output in OBS is set to monitor and output to my headphones and not muted. Stream hears it but I don't.
Or is there maybe away to outsource it to the separate external speakers for htat purpose?
^ Please tag me if there is a response to my inquiry - I am off to work and I know there is not always an immediate response... thanks!
@elfin nimbus You can enable monitoring for all sources, so that will force the audio routing into a specific output - aka your headphones. That should do the trick.
This is the chat error
@rugged quail StreamElements menu, on top of OBS > Logout > Login
Why doesnt my mic pic up in the recording even though I hear the audio through my output(as a test). Im using an elgato wave 3 mic btw
My chatbot seems to have abandonment issues, it no longer comes to my channel, can anyone shed any light on why this may be? it's still a mod, the streamelements dashboard detects when I'm live, but bot is a no show, any help greatly appreciated 🙂
2 questions:
Did you rename your channel on twitch?
Do you use the custom bot name function?
Yes i had twitch move over my original username and no don't use the bot name function
If you changed your name on Twitch, please follow these steps:
- Visit https://streamelements.com/logout and then log in again by connecting with Twitch.
- On the right side of the dashboard page that opens, select Join under bot settings. If it says Part select that and then select Join to send the bot to the chat. Don't forget to mod the bot by typing /mod streamelements in your channel if you have not already.
- Post your old and your new name here so that we can update your channel's chatstats tracking (must be done by staff).
old username: chemicalalert
new username: ste03
5ff7301692783802299fd67f is my account ID for stream elements.
KeiZar is not on the shift anymore, can you remind us what the account ID was for, what was the error?
When I test my follower alerts during my live stream it works but when I get an actual follow during my live stream it does not work. The raids and host alerts work during live stream but again my follower alerts do not
Ok, that can be fixed.
Ok. Awesome
@gray elk done, tested with my channel - works
Thank you!
Hi!
I got the same problem what Lonestar_Legend.
In emulate followers alert working, but on my livestream, when someone gimme follow, doesn't work. No sound and no image. The raids, host, tips working, just followers doesn't...Could u help me with that?
we would need your account ID, found here:
https://streamelements.com/dashboard/account/channels
Account ID
5ffa4cdb3c0d4afbaca481df
Done. Check your activity feed once new events start to come in.
It's the same.
You need to check with NEW events.
Would anyone be able to help with video editing. I have it setup so my recordings save 2 different audio files. Mic and desktop audio. If I open the raw file theres no mic audio. But if I go to edit in any software theres no desktop audio
I've looked everywhere and cant find any mp3 type files for the vid
If you open that in the video editor, you will get 3 tracks - 1x video, 2x audio tracks (those are also split because stereo).
If you are not getting that, then your video format is not compatible with your video editing software on that side (multitrack audio)
Hi, i have OBS Live, and i recently had some help with the notifications not coming through, they've stopped again and also the actual banner didn't turn up in stream.
the banner isn't showing up in OBS either
hello?
Hi everyone,
I am trying to set up StreamElements, but cannot activate the Tiping Setup! Already followed the video guide, but cannot find that tab option on my YouTube account!?
Does anyone know why I can't hear audio from my alerts? The alerts pop up in obs and on stream, but there is no audio so I do not hear them. I have obs capturing my default sound which is my headset. It still does not do it when I switch it to desktop audio. I have advanced settings on montior and output
Hello, i'm trying to connect via OBS.Live to my Youtube to transition between streamlabs and it gives me an error saying that my browser isnt safe
Well, for one, that's streamlabs @idle ravine , not StreamElements Live...
No, it's when i'm trying to import my settings from slOBS to OBS live
it asks me to log in to my SL account
Yeah, don't think you can. I'm manually setting my StreamElements, which I have never tried to interface with my Streamlabs account.
oh, ok
Can anyone explain why a scene shows sound playing (from a local sound file) but no sound actually is happening?
The problem I’m having: in my scenes with a local media source, the sound intermittently stops working (for no reason I can determine). However, it appears to still be playing (the mixer bars are still active), but I am unable to hear the sound at all. When it’s working properly, I can switch between my computer speakers, headphones, and my streaming audio profile (iShowU + headphones) and hear the media play perfectly on each.
Sometimes quitting OBS and relaunching it fixes the problem, sometimes I need to restart my computer, and other times nothing seems to fix it, and I just...wait, and it starts working again later, eventually, without any changes being made. I have absolutely no idea what’s happening, and I'm pulling my hair out.
Everything else sound related still appears to be working, as far as I’ve determined it is only the media sources that are having these issues.
Anyone have any ideas?
(I don't have a log file with this issue, but I'll make sure to capture it next time it happens, which I'm sure will be any minute now.)
My Activity Feed just don't work, what can I do?
@near flame 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.
5ff5f8ad3c0d4a50fa8d1b11
ok, thanks for the support
I'm trying again with this issue since no one got back to me a few days ago. I am no longer able to access the StreamElements control panel via OBS Live since around this last Tuesday. There is no longer an option for it when clicking on the SE tab.
@remote moat 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 menu no longer shows the same options that it used to.
I've already tried to logout/login
@remote moat Check out the StreamElements ideas board: https://strms.net/ideas. You'll be able to add ideas, upvote ideas you agree with and track their progress with email notifications. Adding and upvoting ideas also helps the staff know which ideas should be prioritized so please take some time to upvote.
So any idea why this is no longer working for me?
or better yet, was this an intentional change from an update?
Hi there! My game capture is no longer working no matter what I try.. any ideas?
so i have a question, in obslive is there a way before you go live to change stream title and game and all that ? i know streamlabs gave you that option before going live
my question is how do you get the overlay to fill the screen because every time i do it as a browser source it dosent come threw all the way

Channel, which I see is still active.
Do the following steps:
Settings -> stream -> disconnect
Then
Streamelements again on top -> logout -> login
if there is no disconnect button in the Stream part of the settings, let me know
Still the same, its fine in streamelements but not in obs

in that case, when ready, just DM me the ID and PW
will do, thank you

Hi my Problem is that OBS.Live my Overlay Link doesn't exapt...
Hi, I seem to have an issue with a share alert, I don’t know if it is best asked here on in the Facebook support? I have my alerts set up in stream elements and all them come through correctly apart from when someone shares the stream. I never get the notification for this, am I doing something wrong? I’ve tried making the alert it’s own scene, deleting and re adding alert boxes. But nothing seems to work. Any ideas on why this may be?
And when it is fill in and I click on Open it with StreamElements it says Uhhh this overlay does not exist
@wild marsh StreamElements menu, on top of OBS > Logout > Login
I tryed but it doesn't work
Can you show a screenshot of what you are seeing?
@flint temple If you are not seeing likes/shares on your current stream or page, that might be due to how the privacy settings of the person liking/sharing your stream are set.
If they are set to private we won't be able to see the events.
Specifically for shares, if they share in private groups, we won't be able to see the event.
So I can see the likes and follows, but just the shares I don’t seem to get a notification. Some have been shared to private groups but others have just been shared to a page. But what your saying makes sense!
How long i will be waiting? I hope they help me...
No ETA
Oh ok. And just wanna told u. On streamlabs everything working. Just no on in StreamElemenets if this help u.
Ok. Thank u!
On Sunday I can send a screenshot
Cloud backup unsuccessful. File too large. Please advise.
@shy mountain like images?
videos files
anything that is above 30mb
or that can make the backup file larger then 100mb
@shy mountain I'll try that. Thanks.
My OBS recordings are very choppy and laggy.
Its like Slideshow Instead of a Video.
@rugged quail You need to figure out what is limiting you - overloaded encoder, overloaded GPU (not enough FPS in OBS) or something else is not correct (limited bandwith on your HDD for example).
Hello, I can't show Twitch chat on OBS Studio, what can I do?

I did that step, but it does not appear in the test

ok, so I just started streaming on youtube and did a tiny test stream last night,m to test the subscriber alerts, I subbed to my channel using another account that I had, when I subbed, nothing appeared on my stream, no alert and nothing in my activity feed, I checked the streamelements website and it turned out that streamelements wast joined, i clicked join channel, tested the alert again this mornig offline, nothing happened, do I need to have someone sub on stream? No alerts are showing
Check pinned messages in #helpdesk-youtube please.
oh wow, so even if someone subs the alert could take up to 4 hours to even show up?
yes
Hi, I would like to stream with Stream Elements and OBS on my private Facebook profile. That does not seem to work. It only seems to work on a Facebook site. Can anyone confirm? Or is it possible to stream on a private account?
Anyone??
Okay, guys. I'm out. Uninstalling StreamElements now. Thanks anyway.
Streaming to a private profile is not supported by OBS as far as i know, please use a page when you stream to facebook @fringe cloud
Hi. May I know the best settings to stream in facebook? The game has a good fps when being played but when I'm checking the live video on my phone, it gets laggy and has a low fps. I have a good internet speed tho.

I'm trying to install the streamelements obs.live plugin but as soon as I download it from the website and click on install nothing happens and my files freeze
Hey people I have some questions if anyone could answer, I stream on twitch from my PS4 I wanted to add overlays and someone recommended stream elements, I’ve filled out most of what I need with overlays etc but when I stream tonight do I need to download obs live on my phone for the overlays to work? I only have my phone and PS4 to work with atm any advice would be appreciated. Also how do I add like alerts that pop up when people follow etc? Thanks everyone
@limpid holly Consoles do not have native support for overlays. You would need a capture card, PS4 remote play or Xbox companion app and a PC with OBS in order to have overlays over your console gameplay.
We have a blog post about how to set up console streaming with our essential tools: https://blog.streamelements.com/how-to-stream-on-console-7b620b1c46c3

can someone give me a better, step-by-step, guide to adding overlays to obs from streamelements? the tutorial on the website is not exactly clear on each step needed to use the streamelements overlays in obs.
@topaz harbor 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
@topaz harbor https://streamelements.com/dashboard/overlays click to 3 dots and copy URL then paste to the browser source.
Set dimensions to 1920x1080 , as se.support bot write
why does the activity window in obslive always asks me if i want to save unsaved changes in the stream setting even tho i save them with the manual save button or change nothing at all
Hi there! I am struggling with the custom bot name on my channel. I've met all the prerequisites in order to do it but for someone reason, it won't let me change the name. It just has two instances of setting the bot name to my channel name. Am I missing something here?
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
@Dyno I had already tried that as I previously stated. It did not change anything. The menu options in the drop down are no longer the same as they were before Tuesday. No updates occurred or installed between Monday and Tuesday, yet my options changed out of nowhere.
how do you copy overlays from one streamelements account and paste into another one?
@ornate fiber StreamElements menu, on top of OBS > Logout > Login
still the same
Hey 👋🏾 I need some help I’m using elgatohd60s on obs for video capture but my overlays from stream elements isn’t working while using it need some guidance since I’m new to this well specifically the gaming overlay where I can use my webcam while showing the gameplay
I got it... Thank you so much @full thunder
hello, i would need your help with setting up the strem when I was watching the videos so all of us jumped out of the setter and not me, i would need help thank you
Hello I set alert box but I cannot see the notifications on OBS and in the activity feed
The don't work
Please can you help me?
I have stuck activity feed too :/
i also have a similar issue of the recent follower box on the bottom doesnt keep the name there, looking into it and ill see if i find a fix or if anyone else knows how to fix this issue?
Hey! Why are these settings missing in my obs?
Hi there, when I Emulate my alert, it shows up perfect in the stream elements browser, but in OBS half of it gets cut off like it's not properly centered
@woven tartan 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
thank you
hello does anybody now why i cant see my activity feed in obs live?
So I fixed my previous issue have a new issue when my overlay is popping up I already edited my social media links but it’s still popping up as default :@twitter /twitch/ etc. instead of my actual social media name do anybody know why
okay so i was able to download clips onto stream elements so i can use them as notifications on stream but there is no apply option only delete. what am i doing wrong?
hello whenever i use my stinger transition it shoes the next scene for a little bit is there anything i can do thanks.
hello, i am currently using Ground control for my obs. I was wondering how i can get the custom chat bot option for my ground control
In the past couple weeks my OBSLive just suddenly decided it no longer wanted to work. I have uninstalled and reinstalled it a couple different times but all that launches is just obs studio. None of the features of obslive exist and if I click on the option to "Switch to OBS Studio" it just tells me I am already in studio mode. The only other option it gives me is to uninstall obslive. How can I fix this?
can i use obs live if im streaming to twitch from my ps4?
@buoyant sage Consoles do not have native support for overlays. You would need a capture card, PS4 remote play or Xbox companion app and a PC with OBS in order to have overlays over your console gameplay.
We have a blog post about how to set up console streaming with our essential tools: https://blog.streamelements.com/how-to-stream-on-console-7b620b1c46c3
@full thunder So I just tried to uninstall, reboot, then reinstall OBS Live. Its pretty apparent at this point that the ability to access the SE dashboard via popup window has been removed. Not gonna lie, its pretty annoying that a function that I use every stream has been changed like that.
Should I use regular OBS when streaming for stream alerts instead of OBS Live? What's the difference?
So @full thunder How is one supposed to access the dashboard now since its apparently been changed in the OBS Live drop down?
@remote moat Hi, i'm not fully understand why you meant by "dashboard"? Are you talking about this page: https://streamelements.com/dashboard ?
@velvet shell obs.live is just a plugin for OBS Studio, isn't another version of it
@oak crow what do you mean by "no longer to work" could you please elaborate a little more, going live, open?
I see, thank you
Yes. Up until this past week I have normally been able to click on the StreamElements tab and there was an option to access my overlays to edit them. This would open a window to the Dashboard. As of this past Tuesday, that option is now missing from that menu.
The only way for me to access the Dashboard now is to open up my browser and go there.
@remote moat Yes, on 19th i see our dev team release a new version of the "StreamElements" tab.
Apparently.
Dannnggg no one can help me ?
Well that new version pretty much has made streaming more difficult for me, so pass along my thanks to them.
@charred bear you want to use clips as alerts correct?
if you already have them as webm file, just upload them and select "Change video" on the alertbox widget
yeah @honest echo It just wont launch obslive, the only thing that works is just regular obs studio. The computer says its running and OBSlive says it working but its only the regular studio version of obs.
@oak crow obs.live is a plugin for obs studio, so if you see the "StreamElements" menu on top of obs that means that OBS.live is installed correctly
Is webm a rendering setting ?
So was the removal of that option intentional by the devs? @honest echo
Cause I have them in my stream elements but they only say delete not submit.
@remote moat the release notes says: "Improved StreamElements menu" i could ask about this specific menu item, but due to the timezone and weekend i don't think i will be able to get back with an answer until monday
That would be appreciated @honest echo I apologize if I have seemed a bit upset. I found this issue as I was starting a stream so it really threw things off for me.
don't worry i'll ask
Thanks @honest echo
is obs live not working for alot of people
@hollow frigate a lot?
@alpine meadow "doesn't work" meaning not opening? doesn't let you stream? could you please elaborate?
@charred bear if you already have them on your library make sure to select Change video, for what you are describing looks like you are choosing "change image"
i can stream but the obs. live plugins doesnt work. so the chat doesnt work and the quick actions also
me and a few buddys tried to stream on facebook it kicked us out to where you connect your facebook then you type your info in to login and then go through the steps to connect then it says you are logged n but still shows the connect to facebook page
@alpine meadow StreamElements menu, on top of OBS > Logout > Login
@hollow frigate restart OBS with admin rights and try to connect again
how do i do that?
👀👀👀👀I’m not infront of my computer rn. But I’ve never seen that
i right clicked on shortcut and clicked run as admin but still doing the same thing
Can I get a feels bad lol
thx
how do i get my overlays to obslive
@next trellis 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

Hey guys, I can't get my OBS live stream to work.
It will not link to my Stream Deck and I've tried everything. When I look under tools, I don't even see stream deck popping up
Can anyone help?
How can we scroll text horizontally across the screen?
@uncut edge you can archive that but it depends on the widget for the text one you can enable it on the Text settings
@honest echo thank you.
Hi, I'm having an issue with the blank program screen when I'm setting up a new scene for Fall Guys. I set it up the same way I did for League of Legends (with game capture) and that displayed fine in preview and program screen. But for some reason it is not show Fall Guys on the Program screen.
I alos have a display scene sourced to Display Capture, and when I'm in that scene, it does not display in the Program Screen.
Encoder was never overloaded I checked Task manager GPU was at 67 percent and Its a Integrated gpu its goes fine for like 2 minutes but after that it becomes a Slideshow.
its Vega 8 with ryzen 5 2500u.
so i recently messed with my settings so that my mic and desktop audio are saved on seperate tracks for editing later. how do i revert back to the default
yeah mine is weird today. the preview and program screens aren't syncing up and new scenes aren't displaying on the program screen

All web based docks go blurry when youre not mousing over them, and they change to varying levels of blurry while youre moving your mouse around the screen. this includes the activity feed, as well as my twitch chat. ive seen a few posts online about it, but never a reply or solution.

Good morning all, I recently purchased overlays from own3d.tv and I'm trying to import them into streamelements.com. However, the import button will not allow me to interact with it, and I'm not showing an alternative of uploading these files. Does anyone know how to get this accomplished? 5ffa35b595beb630ef25fddb

Hey guys, I keep getting this when trying to do scenes from Stream Deck to OBS Live. I need help
Plugin is missing.....
when I go to my Dashboard on StreamElements, it is not counting the number of followers I've gotten over the month. They don't show up in my StreamElements Activity Feed either when somebody follows
Hello my media request is acting up on OBS. I paste a link from YouTube on there & It won't show the video on OBS. What do I do?
Can someone tell me if I can add a YouTube playlist to the music queue in OBS.LIVE, and if no, how can I make a preset, or something like that, so I don't have to add the music each time?
Does anyone know how to re-position text through streamelements.com? The only options I'm showing are above, below, and row.
@maiden turret 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.
Thank you!
My stream is dropping massive frames, but the CPU say it's at 60fps... What is going on?
Every time i record on WarZone i get the same error message on OBS saying (Stopping Recording). I've looked up how to fix but nothing seems to be working. Help please
I had to delete obs and reinstall and I cannot find where to get the Chat feed and Activity feed like I did before I unninstalled

Does StreamElements only work on the newest version of obs because thats not their for me
Do you have installed OBS.live plugin?
@mellow grove OBS.Live is a Plugin for OBS created by StreamElements. You can download OBS.Live here: https://streamelements.com/obslive
Please make sure you have the latest version of OBS installed, Current Version: 26.1.1. You can install OBS here: https://obsproject.com/
Yes I do
Okay, I had a older version from trying to fix the game capture black screen
Why is my sub count reading 4 less then what I actually have how do I fix it ?
You are a life saver
@charred bear 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 guys i recently changed from streamlabs OBS to stream elements, and my follower (widget i guess) wont show my recent follower, it shows a follower who followed like multiple years ago, any ideas on how i fix that, also, i tried to import my files from streamlabs obs and it stops at 13 of 13 92% every time
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.
I updates my obs and have the most recent version of obs.live but I am still not seeing the StreamElements menu.
Cool and someone was telling me the other day how to get twitch clips on my phone how do I do so? So I can post them on my socials
hi to all,when someone Follow me,the alerts appear but without sound, what can that be=
?*
How I know they repair this? They contact with me or something?
When I drag my StreamElements OBS live while its running to my second monitor, the Chat feed bugs out and enlarges to that monitors size and freaks out and I cant use my stream chat feed or Activity feed.
Hey guys, is this option to store media in RAM instead of constant CPU processing?
hi guys, hope this question is oke to put here. I'm experiencing some trouble with my alert animations. When i trigger them through the overlay editor, they seem to freeze in obs.live after a second or 2 and right before the end fo the animation it unfreezes again. The animations work perfectly fine in the overlay editor tho! Any ideas?
When I have my OBS.LIVE open, the plugins don't pop up, how do I activate them?
That's what it looks like atm
So I'm using the OBS live and I wanted to use the media request but on my stream deck when I try to pause or skip next song it wont let me. Any Help?
This isnt not OBS.Live, this is plain OBS.
Hello, my Streamelements wont let me switch between the currency for my donation goal (from dollar to euros).
Cant find any settings to it
Then how come when I open this it opens OBS?
Hey Guys i can you hep me i cant see my Streamelements Bot in the Chat it wont trigger any command, ive already reinstalled obs.live but i cant get it workedf

Sorry, on the credit roll font
I feel like a total N00b, can someone help me add a theme to OBS Studio?
Custom widgets are your responsibility to get going. Unfortunately, if something in their coding is broken, you can try asking in #dev-chat but other than that we cannot assist you.
I'm able to get the theme loaded into OBS Studio, but then no webcam image shows - trying to use this for my DJ streams. Any thoughts?
You add your webcam separately. The overlay doesn't automatically find and load it for you.
Well, I'd recommend putting it behind to fit it in the box more easily.
It's a transparent window.
@tulip hamlet You are amazing - thank you.
i have solve the problem, the bot was muted xD Sorry haha
New streamer here. Im using OBS to stream. ive set up all my scenes, but when in game i dont see the chat. what can i use to see the chat and followers?
Our OBS.Live plugin can put your chat and activity feed directly into OBS Studio for you. https://obs.live
By what means are the alerts making sounds, I have muted the in-browser preview but I still hear it, also can I mute it?
If you've added the browser source to OBS, then it'll play through there. There's a mute option in your activity feed; the bell icon.
i downloaded the plugin in which you suggested and just went live again to test. When i am in game i see no chats or notifications of chat on my screen. am i supposed to be using OBS somehow? im very confused as to why this isnt working.
Are you trying to say you only have one monitor? In which case, no, there's no option for an in-game overlay for your own view.
thank you, i thought i would need a second monitor in order to see this.
You can also download our Android app and use that to monitor your chat and activity feed by putting it into Companion Mode.
Good afternoon. I am having issues with my alerts on stream showing while I am live. I have my alerts set up through StreamLabs however every time I do a test follow it does come up on stream but when I get an actual follow nothing happens
We're not Streamlabs.
does steam elements offer alerts?
Yes.
ok thank you I will look into it

@tulip hamlet Lush, thanks!
@tulip hamlet is there a way to test alerts with stream elements?
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
@tulip hamlet when i do the test alert for some reason its on the far right of my alert box and is cut off
Make sure you are adding your overlay as 1920x1080
@kindred fox thank you that worked
Hello everyone, I have problems with audio going out into the stream! I use 2 channels one is desktop and the other is my mic,I can see the levels, and when I press record I can hear sound from both audio channels however, when I start streaming only 1 audio channel is outputted. My quick solution is to stop the stream restart OBS.live and start streaming again. This solves the issue and works flawlessly afterwards. could it be a bug? is assume my settings are good since it works afterwards, however the error is repeatable and constant its my 5th consecutive time this happens to me. any help?
right click both audio devices > Advanced Audio Properties > make sure track 1 is selected for both sources
only Track 1 is sent to stream
does anyone know why the activity feed for my stream not show any old or new data

hello, im having trouble with my streamlabs obs, this issue only started recently, but ive been experiencing dropped frames in obs whenever i load a game up and try to play it on stream. Like i said this only happened recently i haven't changed any settings or anything, everything has been the same, but now i have the issue. I've tried to look up solutions to try to fix it an dive tried almost everything but nothing seems to be working, hopefully someone can help me because im not able to stream any games off my computer, i have no clue what to do.
You'll need to ask Streamlabs.
@tulip hamlet i meant stream elements im sorry lol

Hello, I know that to record 2 separate audio tracks for recording(not streaming) you must have selected one(desktop) on track 2, and one(mic) on track three, assuming that track one is for streaming only and i have both desktop audio and mic audio selected for streaming on track one. However for recording purposes, no matter what way i arrange the audio files, they only play both at the same time when overlapping a single audio track. I've arranged and tried all possible outcomes unless its late and I'm missing something silly or dumb I'm really stuck on getting audio from mic separate from desktop audio and to be heard back together at the same time. Iv also added the desktop and mic audio as sources, instead of using OBS default devices, still cant get both to play as separate audio files. Please help 😦
Hi. I am using SE with OBS Live, but the alerts aren’t working, Just when I emulate them in SE.

I talked with obs but they sent me here.
And they said that “and that's even ignoring the fact that their plugin replaces the browser source components that run the alerts”
hi, i was wondering if anyone could help me out on adding the alert box on my sources for my stream

^^^^
Uninstall/reinstall
so on the highlited blue do i just add the link here
If you add an overlay via browser source should alerts work with that? or do you need add a separate browser source for alerts? I'm a little confused. I was streaming today but I don't think I saw any followers pop up and people definitely followed
Check your recording settings and verify you only have track 3 selected for audio
Only one browser source is needed for everything. If a follower event happened it should trigger the alert
that's what I thought - but doesn't seem to be working
Assuming the chat bot is a moderator in your channel to pass the event to the overlay
I already done that. I testet different ovelays, but they only shows The alerts when emulated.
so do i just put the link in the highlighted blue area??

Hello I have a quick question regarding tip alerts. I setup a new tip alert video and sound and enabled TTS for above 3 USD. However, tip alerts emulated at any tip amount display the default blue shark dancer. How do I change this? Do I need to create variations?
@shy mountain Thank you! That solved my issue right away.
why is obs live when im streaming making me put out more bitrate then i put
is there a way to fix it
because it is making me lag in game
@white drift 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.
isn't there a procedure i can do to solve this problem? because I'm thinking of passing the obs to another computer. will i need to contact you again to resolve this issue if it occurs again?
@knotty wasp what issue are you referring to?
@white drift 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+.

how do I setup the thanks for following alert in the chat
Dashboard -> Modules on the left side -> chat alerts module on top
@shy mountain was that link for me??
You are the only one currently posting a log file, so yes, that is analysis of your log
so i am confused about why when i stream on obslive it trys to stream more than the bit rate i put
but when i stream on streamlabs it doesnt try to do that
how do I setup the thanks for following alert in the chat on mobile
Did you take a look at the analysis?
yes im looking at it right now and tbh im so confused
todays my first ay using obs live
It is, to my knowledge, impossible to output at 10000 bitrate for example if you've set your bitrate for rendering at 4000 in the settings
That being said, I think there was a dynamic bitrate setting in OBS, which might cause this effect, but I doubt its meant to have OBS output at a higher bitrate then the one you've set, as in, for example 4000 bitrate
it will go down, if OBS detects it doesn't have enough upload speed, but not go over it.
All that being said, if you've set your bitrate at some unreasonable amount, OBS will attempt to stream at that bitrate, even though you might be forced on server side on Twitch on lower bitrate
And all that being said, trying to stream at 1250 bitrate for 720p will not produce a good stream quality
You need at least 35003000
If by chance you can't stream at 3000 bitrate at all, then your internet speed (specifically upload speed) is not good enough or not stable enough
Considering you are dropping frames at 1250 bitrate, I suspect your internet is not good enough
Well, tks for the help 🙄
Does anyone know why my alerts are mirrored/backwards on stream but when previewed in OBS it looks right?
Right click the browser source in the preview -> transform -> flip horizontally
@shy mountain, thanks I was thinking that might be the solution it just seems strange. Especially now when I hit the preview button in SE it's mirrored on the OBS preview. Was hoping to find a solution where they were consistent across the board
That is odd, as it shouldn't be mirrored, unless you've done something to OBS
not that I know of
@shy mountain
OK, so I tagged you with a command, to provide your account id and also screenshoted to show you asking for that.
Please provide your account id
@knotty wasp 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.
Ok. And I Just make a Simple question if It will solve The problem or, in case I started using obs in another pc, I Will need To contact support again. it wasn't supposed to generate any stress. thank you for your attention and sorry for the inconvenience.
Changing to a different PC with a differnt OBS will not fix your follower alert issue
Hello, Why i can‘t add on streamelement more payment methods? i only can use paypal?
i do not can use se.pay on my streamelements site.
@rugged quail SE.PAY is available for streamers who are at least 18 years old, with bank account under their name in one of the following countries and have at least 101 follower (Twitch) / 101 subscribers (YouTube):
Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland , Italy, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, United Kingdom, United States.
If you meet these criteria and don’t 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
HI! Not a single alert shows up when live. Testing alerts from SE overlay panel works fine. obs.live Activity feed doesn't show all activities. SE dashboard doesn't show followers and all activities. 5ff77fc0bd17f5e66bc8ff8f
Am i doing sth wrong?
Fixed
@shy mountain thank you 🙂
Not sure what you mean by separating
Hi,I have an issue with the activity feed,I mean it's stuck,and it doesn't show me the new followers, I have it stuck in the browser too,I tried to uninstall the obs,but it doesn't work. Can you please help me to fix it?

Thank you so much!

Are you from any of the supported countries?
yes, from austria
@rugged quail 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.
try and logout from our dashboard and login again
and you should see the SE.Pay option on the left side menu
thank u very much. but i have 1 more problm, when i register a account, i cand send it after i finished the registration..
the button „send“ i cant click them
Make sure you are not using auto fill on the form
I write it without autofill
maybe should i write „Austria“ ?
is it possible that „ö“ can not be accepted?
yes
it works, thank you 🙏🏻
@full thunder can I use Streamlabs logo on a overlay? Like a little logo that show up with other symbols
how can i change the color of a premade alert widget? it shows on the themes page it comes in multiple colors, for example, green, i want the green instead of the defaulted red
@hardy prism I guess, no one is gonna stop you for uploading it
@quiet flint which ones?
Do note that some alert variations may be using the other color variant
ok thanks
specifically the apex legends one
its showing red in obs
Follower alerts use the red one, subs use the purple one, tips and cheers use a different color
known issue
hello guys, I have a problem on my alert. I use OBS Studio as my software. I made my own alert using custom CSS, but it actually doesn't appear the same as what I made in stream elements. is there anyone who know why is that?
Hey Keizar, not sure if when you fixed my merch issue if that also fixed my alert issue i was having. If not, I am having an alerts issue and my next stream isnt until Tuesday. I had my daughter unfollow and follow to test the follower alert and it didnt show, when i hit the replay button the sound came through but not the actual alert. ID is 5f665d1fa2d5fd31a6e617db
@ruby veldt if the alerts have custom CSS, its best to ask in #dev-chat
@rugged quail
seems to be working just fine
unfollowing and following again won't trigger the event though
The pop up in live.
theres a system that prevents that
The activity feed works, just not the screen alert
thats in the preview... And thanks for the follow... I will definitly see what happens on Tuesday. I have work tomorrow (today)\ and its almost 3am
thank you again for all the help
Im new to stream elements so trying to figure out the kinks on my end.
okay thanks!
Hey Guys anyone knows why i cant edit my overlay in streamelements?
need more info about the issue
i wanted to use one of they overlays , but i cant edited and put like my social names on it
@shy mountain
Click on the widget -> click on "layers" to collapse the layers tab on the left and then click on "settings" and then edit the text
I've recently installed OBS and the StreamElements plug-in have Asperger's Syndrome and I want to get into streaming in the next few months with OBS and PS4 remote play, is there any way I can get some help with setting up everything in the next few days from anyone here? I'm really trying to understand it all through video tutorials but I'm just finding it really overwhelming and it's making me feel anxious
If the answer's no It's no problem
Hi. My OBS Live doesn't shows any activities and alerts, just when emulated. 5ff726f29e4c1b1ffcef4830
Small fix deployed, you should see new incoming events and get alerts from now on.
Tks, @nova scaffold !
hi, i use obs live and i just need a bit of help with my overlays, i downloaded/got some off of the streamlabs free overlay stuff and i dont know where to put it onto my obs, i dont know if i am just being stupid but i dont know where the overlays stuff is.
Hey, so I logged into my test account through OBS the other day to test run a stream, and even though I've logged back into my main account it's still showing the test account's activity feed, which also means I can't link my custom bot, I've tried re-logging and stuff but it doesn't seem to want to log my test account out from the activity feed, any ideas?

Hello, my question is: how can i add on my stream an Follower goal ?
Good day! I've an issue: from Obs.live the animated supertheme loaded on browser source, actually, is not animated. On Obs studio is working normal. Wy? thxxx
Hey. How do I make it so that if I click on an overlay it plays a specific song and when I click back to another overlay it stops.
Hello, my question is: Why does Obs.live do not remember my settings for my chat ( light or dark ) ? I want it dark but every time I open it it turns light
Go to your overlay editor, add a goal, then make it a follower goal.
Are you adding the same overlay? Most of our animated themes have static aswell, make sure youre adding the animated version to both and not the static. Once you confirm its the right link do this;
@rugged quail 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
Best (and only way that I know how) is to make a playlist of the songs you want in VLC, then add it as a media source, then sort your overlays by scene.
Hi guys, I made an OBS update and now media request window has disappeared, and I can't find in options to add it back 😦
Thanks.
StreamElements menu, on top of OBS > Media request
There is no StreamElements menu :/
Something went wrong with obs itself, now I found the streamelements, thanks 🙂
You're welcome! 
Ops didn't say that I'm using a Mac book pro. There is a solution too?
i use a own3d overlay connects with streamelements and i stream on OBS. but my donations will not appear when someone is donating me money
Are you using streamelements donation service?
Uhhhhh... maybe? Never used OBS.Live on mac!
yes
And are you using streamelements donation alerts?
i dont know how to setup them
@rugged quail go to https://streamelements.com/dashboard/overlays, create a blank overlay, click blue plus sign in bottom left, click alerts, alertbox. Click save then name your overlayt and youve now got an alert box overlay
and my overlay (theme from own3d) will not be removed or anything ?
Nope, just add that alert ontop of your own3d overlay in OBS
@rugged quail Have you updated to 26.1.2?
okay i did it, and now i have to see the alertbox in my obs ?
@toxic fern nope, I've just downloaded the installer from the website and I have the 26.0.2
hello i have a problem i switcht my name on twitch and now streamelemnts isnt working in my chat
i need to restart obs ?
That would be why blonde. Update OBS to 26.1.2 and you should have it to toggle.
Downside is you have to be on 10.15.
What is BOTH your old and your new name?
my old name is VikingssTv and my new name is PsaikkoTv
@toxic fern no update available
how do i stream on trovo
We don't support it.
ok
@pale solar Go to the Dashboard > Right side > Part channel > Join channel(https://streamelements.com/dashboard)
Do the above and it should start working.
@dapper igloo @full thunder i dont find this page 😦
Why in Obs.live for Mac there isn't the Browser source hardware acceleration option?
It's on 26.1.2
Let's do this.
Click the profiles option from the menu up top and export. Do that for all of that.
Do the same for scene collections.
Its on your streamelements dashboard homepage. Go to https://streamelements.com/dashboard
no update on obs.live lol, obs studio is already on that release
oki thankks i found it ❤️ <3<3<3
@toxic fern can you give me a link for the latest mac release? from the software there is no update to do. TIA
if OBS says it's 26.1.2 go to the settings in here.

i create a alertbox on streamelements, but in my obs there isnt any alertbox from streamelements
Did.. you add the overlay to your OBS?
@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
i saved it on the creator, yes
Ok, but did you add it to your OBS?
i dont know how. is it the copy overlay url ?
Follow the above message from @full thunder
this step is activated
if youve added it to your OBS, then that is all you need to do
maybe I'm explainin myself wrong. even if obs.live is an addon, is standalone right? on my mac I have 2 softwares, both of them. From OBS studio 26.1.2 the animated theme is running right. From Obs.live (26.0.2 of obs studio) is still. From Obs studio I have the browser source acceleration option, from the second one (Obs.live) not. Obs live says there is no update available
should i copy the overlay url from Streamelemets to obs ?? create a new source ?
Check pinned messages
hi, so im having an issue where all my alerts show up on the OBS live streamelements activity feed except for any of my follows. The follows on the streamelements dashboard always stay at 0, whereas there is no issue with any other alert. Can someone please help with this? it isnt a filter issue too, i definitely have followers checked
i have also already imported all alerts from streamlabs to streamelements, and that brought everything over fine except for follower data? even new ones dont show up
So I want to play music for myself while I'm streaming. I don't want to broadcast my playlists or anything. Is there a way where I can disable obs from picking up audio from spotify?
help when you can 😿
I've actually asked about it since I'm not sure why you're getting 2 different versions. I'm heading off to bed shortly so I won't be able to have an answer for you until later unless someone else is able to find out.
yeah u need a third party software to split up the audio input and so once it's separated youll be able to disable obs from picking up audio from spotify. try this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XD9sWOjITYU&t=417s
Separate music and game audio in your Twitch stream! I'm really just writing stuff here for the YouTube algorithm. Suck it YouTube, I'm smarter than you.

Have anyone here streamed RPG's before?
Anyone know why StreamElements is not showing Follower notifications when it's set. Doesn't even record it happening in the feed. Only Subs and etc.
I'm having trouble with my "follower" alert in StreamElements.
same as @misty pebble
yeah... sad it shows it on StreamLabs... but not StreamElements...
i even attempted to set up on the same overlay as my raid. My raid notification works, it's just the follower. It's been a while.
Well, i guess I may have to have a StreamLabs overlay for Followers since StreamElements can't be bothered... :/
For Trouble shooting I have Reset Session just to ensure it wasn't lost or such. I have made sure all items are checked to be on the Feed. Yet, it only shows Subs, Donos for Alerts. Not any Follower or etc.
As well as in the feed. As if StreamElements is unable to access data to a New Follower Notification.
It seems that way.
Hello, I am trying to put a video into streamelements that has the Alpha (transparent) channel. I have converted the file to webm. so that stream elements would accept it. However it does not seem to be transparent. Does stream elements support the alpha channel for videos?
Hello, i was here not long ago because my alert box and not weren’t reacting to activity from my activity feed. A staff member said they reconnected my web hooks and it worked for one stream and it’s back to not working again
I’m having the same problem as @vernal niche. I bought an Overlay set from from Own3d. I logged in to StreamElements and created a blank overlay. Added the alertbox and customised everything. I saved and added it to my stream. When I emulate it comes up perfectly fine but when someone follows or does anything it doesn’t react. How can I fix this?
says unable to authenticate twitch
It seems a lot of people are having the same issue of alert box not working, anyone found a solution?
Hey, how are you? I am trying to record my screen using obs, but it just shows a blank screen and records black. I've tried everything, any help would be appriciated, thanks!

anyone else know why im dropping 65% frames everytime i go live but my internet is fine?
@autumn kettle 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.
Use the Twitch Bandwidth Test to find the best Twitch server to stream to. Set Duration to Medium. You can uncheck any regions you're not near.
After the test completes, click the Share Result button to upload a screenshot, which can then be copied and pasted here.
Get Twitch Test from https://r1ch.net/projects/twitchtest.
o downloaded the soundtracks by twitch and i dont like it, I deleted the program but it keeps adding the vod audio track, how can i delete the plugin

Thanks. In any case that it still does not work, what should I do?
Come back and ask again.
I tried again. It worked once. I tried to separate the alerts in different overlays and it stopped working. I went back to the original overlay to were it worked the first time, and now we are back at it again. Not working.
im not sure where to ask this but im trying to set my sub goal and i cant because its saying i have 117 sub which is not true i have 2 and i dont know how to get rid of the 117, any help? please
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.
thank yoU!

im trying to connect facebook gaming to my stream elements, but it says channel already claimed
Hey, this means you logged into it previously, you're unable to connect it to an existing account
try to see if you already have access to it
Hey you gorgeus helpfull people. Im having some issues with the "order" of my overlays. In my CSGO overlay i'd love to be able to open "Friends" etc. without it showing on the stream, but only "workaround" i've figured out is to take the overlay i created in streamelements, convert it to a PNG and put it in OBS as an image instead of browser - so i can put it "above" the other sources, without it taking things such as Friends etc. Does that make sense, and does anybody know of a more simple way to do it? 😄
How I test alerts while streaming? I have preview alerts in streamelements but I dont know how to test them while streaming
@agile vector 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
If im using my webcam for a meeting in another softwaree, and try to do some work in OBS Live meanwhile, all my scenes with my cam is black - any fix to that? If I try to add new scene/ source with a webcam, it doesn't even show the cam in preview.
I cant use my stream deck to change scenes between my obslive. It states im missing a control?

Hello folks, since this morning my obs live is showing cookie acceptance forms on all the twitch panels but clicking on accept doesnt hide them. Any ideas?
Hi all,
I am trying to customize my overlay and I added a new image, Image 26 in the screenshot. I am trying to make it appear behind some text but the editor won't let me reorder the layers. I assumed all I would have to do is drag and drop it under the text in the Layers but it doesn't let me drag and drop any layers. Am I missing something?
Update: Figured it out myself. This works fine when navigated to in browser but does not function at all when editing an overlay through OBS by clicking the "Open in StreamElements Overlay Editor" via the Source properties.
need help my activity feed doesn't show my new follower, when I get new follower there is no activity on my activity feed and the Follower alert doesn't start
same problem 😩
Alright I found a solution for the cookies/privacy stuff, the problem is obs side as the support said. The solution is to disconnect and then, when trying to reconnect, on the log-in page, you should be able to accept (or refuse) the cookies. Then after connecting, rerun obs, close and reopen (View->Docks) the twitch's docks.
Hi. Can you provide me your exact channel name and platform? We can fix that.
Same ^ Would need your channel name.
Twitch Channel name?
Yep
DerNanox
Fix deployed, you will get new events from now on
does not work for me or i made it wrong ;/
I also saw that you may need to delete %AppData%\Roaming\obs-studio\plugin_config\obs-browser\obs_profile_cookies (which I did but I was not sure it was relevant since they removed that part in the obs discord)
okay delete that, then log out re log try to accept cookies and then it should work ?
yeah and accept the cookies during the log in window
Whats happening on obslive whys it started to do this? Purple twitch privacy statement. Clicking accept doesnt remove
Have you tried to log out and log back in with Twitch (in OBS)?
Will try now
That worked thanks
Hi, wondering if someone could help.
My obs live widgets are running my twitch account, but my obs output is set to facebook live. Someone know how to change obs live from twitch to facebook?
Please log out in OBS.Live and log back in - with facebook. You are still logged in with Twitch.
Okay, did that, issue remains
@fringe scarab Can you share a screenshot of what you see? Once you connect with facebook, you will see the chat settings and the activity feed switches to facebook events
Yes because you are still logged in with Twitch.
Please follow those steps:
Top menu: StreamElements > Logout.
Log in with Facebook.
hello when ever i add an overlay to obs from the stream elements webpage it only shows a quarter of the overlay how can i fix this
Please make sure you use the correct resolution in the browser source (default ist 1920x1080)
Have anyone experienced the chat widget freezeing, unfreezing, freezing, unfreezing?
If so, have anyone found a solution to it?
Sounds weird, first time i hear about that. Got some more details for me? The platform for example, since OBS.Live supports 3 platforms.
I am having trouble with OBS.Live as i use linux i used lutris its stuck on the circle loading screen. But the thing is it was working perfect yesterday. any help?
Try to log out and back in (top menu, StreamElements > Logout)
Linux support is tricky, were there any updates?
Try to relog and see if that helps.
Does the login work? The page that is trying to load is the login page itself.
it dosent :
it directs me back to the loading screen
Not sure how i can help out here. Checking with colleagues.
if OBS.LIVE dosent work can use obs and use the overlays over there from the links
Yes you can. Try that: top menu, StreamElements, Switch to OBS.Studio
alright i'll do while you guys figure this out i guess.
This will return you to the basic OBS Studio
other option i can suggest is fully debugging it and looking if maybe a javascript is blocked etc.
but this is beyond my knowledge on linux
oh ok
any update
Sadly no updates. We do not support OBS.Live on Linux, you could compile it yourself and run this unsupported "as is".
The normal OBS Studio will work fine with everything else we have.
I've had problems with the streamelements obs with the music application, sometimes it is not heard, I have it with the overlay widget even and sometimes I have to stop or rewind the music so that, can hear the music
Hi. Are you talking about the media request widget or something else?
Hey guys, how do I get OBS.live working properly with OBS profiles?
I stream for two channels, but when I switch profiles in OBS then OBS.live is the only thing to not update
I tried logging out of the wrong Twitch account in OBS.Live when the right profile was selected, but it seems like OBS.Live isn't realising I've switched and is just globally using the last account to be logged into
You can try to log out in 2 places - in the Stream settings and in the top menu under StreamElements.
Try both and see if that updates all the docks.
But I don't need to log out in OBS's settings - the point of profiles is to have two Twitch accounts connected at once 🙂
Or is this for debug purposes?
Yes, Exactly that
Have you noticed anything weird with other overlays on our end? Delays etc.?
Generally reloading the overlay once and clearing cache should resolve those issues.
I'll try that
@nova scaffold The problem is that the docks should update with the correct account every time the profile switches
If I have Profile A (for Twitch account A) and Profile B (for Twitch account B), then switching profiles between A and B should show the activity feed for the correct profile
No OBS.Live does not work that way. You actually need to log out and log back in with the new account. It does not matter if you change between platforms or just between accounts on a single platform.
But currently it seems like OBS.live only handles one profile, using the last one to be logged into
Yes this is correct, unless you log out and log in with the new profile, it will not change.
Ok, any idea when this might be implemented?
You can log out and back in while live.
It's not a bug perse but having to log out and in every time when this is the entire point of profiles is a bit of a duplication of efforts 🙂
This is by design, there will be no switching between accounts on the fly without a logout.
OBS.Live has more functions tied to the twitch login, since the twitch login is what is used to get you logged into streamelements.
Yep
Which means you NEED to log out and back in to change it.
But that's not how OBS works...
I have a profile for each channel in OBS, right?
But this is how our plugin works, since you are logging into a 3rd party account with Twitch.
So I got to Profile > Channel A in OBS to switch to that, and Profile > Channel B to swith to that. This doesn't need a log out and in
No I know that's how the plugin works 🙃
I'm just wondering why that's how it's been designed if it goes against how OBS handles multiple accounts?
If you switch profiles, you will switch between the OBS settings. But not the docks.
I know
Ah, no
OBS docks update
Like the chat for example
Even the 'edit stream info' dock updates
Yes but again not on StreamElements, since our plugin also has integrations there and it does not work like that.
And the main OBS activity feed
Yeah, I know it doesn't work like that 😅 it's just a bit jarring, since everything else updates
You just need to understand that this is by design since there is a 3rd party involved.
Another thing - I have both Twitch channels in the same SE account, so would there be a way to switch account inside the dock?
Ahhhh a 3rd party
I thought SE developed the extension themselves
Apologies
No, the combined accounts are designed to switch between them on the website.
OBS.Live will not have the "on the fly" switch.
Can it be requested to add it to the roadmap?
It's a really useful feature of OBS
This will most likely not happen because of the way how the 3rd party authentication works.
Isn't the third party Twitch in the case of authentication?
For us to switch accounts there HAS to be a twitch login in between.
But isn't Twitch the third party?
Yes, it is. And we use their login (or other platforms) for authentication.
Right, but so does OBS right? So how come they can do it?
Not trying to be awkward, just don't understand the difference
Yes but you still do not understand that in case of OBS there is a direct connection OBS = Twitch.
On our end it results in OBS + StreamElements + Twitch.
That's the only bit I do understand it seems 😆
So can't OBS.Live do with SE accounts what OBS studio does with Twitch accounts?
Like tie the bearer token (or however its auth'd) to the OBS profile?
No, because the SE accounts REQUIRE Twitch (or YT/FB) authentication.
Yes I know that...
Let me try to explain a bit better
In OBS you can add a Twitch account per profile. To add that account, it requires a Twitch authentication (as OBS.Live does). When you switch profiles, it switches Twitch account.
So it seems OBS is doing the exact same thing as OBS.Live, except to the Twitch servers directly rather than to the SE servers.
So in this case, since OBS is able to hold multiple accounts' authentication tokens at once, can't the same thing be done with OBS.Live and Twitch/SE accounts?
I have an issue in OBS.L, I cannot get rid of the "We value your privacy" tab in chat window. I haave clicked accept, manage preferences, it just wont go away.
In fact, couldn't OBS.Live get the Twitch authentication from the OBS profile to automatically auth with SE rather than requiring a separate login? I'm not sure if this part would be possible, but it would sure create a much smoother UX
Like i said, it will be impossible or at least will require a partial rewrite for the entire system and this is not an option.
A simple relog fixes all the issues.
'simple' 🤣
Of course if it doesn't do it now, it would require writing more code. I think that much was obvious lol
It's just, imagine it from a user's perspective. Switching OBS profiles updates successfully with everything in the docks, except one window for OBS.Live
That seems like a bit of an anti-pattern
This is such a rare usecase with multiple twitch profiles, you are the only one i saw here in over 3 years 🙂
Usual switch is between Twitch and YT for example.
Yeah, I guess that makes sense
If it's across multiple accounts, though, then surely that still needs a switch?
Or is it all within the SE account and one login allows that YT/Twitch switch ?
I don't know how OBS stores its auth info, probably some hashed token from the Twitch API which is tied to the profile. But I just wondered if it was possible to store a similar token (for Twitch or for the SE account) which can be stored in the same way.
Or, possibly easier, just have a channel switcher in the dock like you do on the website - that must surely be doable right? 🙂
IIRC the docks are just browser sources? So it seems like switching managed channels in that dock would be doable? But I don't know your code ofc
This is highly unlikely.
Also highly unlikely. A normal relog with saved data is pretty much instant and does the job.
Yeah but it's just so awkward considering it doesn't save passwords in the login dialog and everything else doesn't need a relog
Hi, hopefully this is the right area to post this question, new to stream elements, iv'e tried everything to get alerts to work, the tests work but doesn't show up when i simulate a follow from an alternate account.... also the only thing showing up in feed are when i was raided or hosted, not showing recent follows or anything like that... not sure what else to try
So changing the entire login system in the OBS.Live plugin to change the workflow is not something we would put a high priority on. @kindred obsidian
