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.

Ok, but when I downloaded OBS.Live, it installed a different version of OBS. v20 alongside my current v26 installation

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

(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.

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.

Will there ever be Stream Elements Gaming OBS For Mobile?

shy mountain
#

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

full thunderBOT
#

@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.

high kernel
#

Thanks so much. What is the recommendation of upload for streaming

full thunderBOT
#

@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

high kernel
#

Ok cause my upload speed is 3mb and it should@be 20

shy mountain
#

thats a problem with your ISP

high kernel
#

That are working on it and this morning it was 8mb upload. That’s why I am asking that’s the required upload speed

shy mountain
#

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!

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.

cerulean notch
#

@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

full thunderBOT
frigid stratus
#

@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.

@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

@wooden horizon If your commands recently stopped working and you're using OBS.Live and a custom bot name do the following:

  1. In OBS.Live, click on the hamburger menu (three stripes) at the top left of your activity feed
  2. Click on Stream Settings > Custom bot name
  3. In the Custom bot name field select Set custom bot name, not your already existing username (with capital letters). Note: If you already connected an account that way, the third entry will show as the account name (see image https://i.imgur.com/sO7fWOX.png).
  4. Scroll a bit down and click on the purple Connect Custom Bot Account button
  5. Log in as usual and Authorize the custom bot name
  6. Back in the Activity feed, click on the Send Test Message button and check if your custom bot name starts working again

When I emulate in StreamElements, it should pop up on my OBS right?

@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

shy mountain
frigid stratus
#

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.

shy mountain
#

if i remember correctly you haven't setup the resolution properly

full thunderBOT
#

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

frigid stratus
#

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.

shy mountain
#

survey is in your heart

frigid stratus
#

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?

shy mountain
#

The main dashboard page should your monthly gain, or weekly, depending on the settings you choose above the graphic

anything from the past or before the fix, won't be shown

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?

#

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.)

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

oh wow, so even if someone subs the alert could take up to 4 hours to even show up?

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.

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.

full thunderBOT
#

@rugged quail 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

Is it better to check the hardware encoding? Or nah?

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.

@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

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?

full thunderBOT
#

If your commands recently stopped working and you're using OBS.Live and a custom bot name do the following:

  1. In OBS.Live, click on the hamburger menu (three stripes) at the top left of your activity feed
  2. Click on Stream Settings > Custom bot name
  3. In the Custom bot name field select Set custom bot name, not your already existing username (with capital letters). Note: If you already connected an account that way, the third entry will show as the account name (see image https://i.imgur.com/sO7fWOX.png).
  4. Scroll a bit down and click on the purple Connect Custom Bot Account button
  5. Log in as usual and Authorize the custom bot name
  6. Back in the Activity feed, click on the Send Test Message button and check if your custom bot name starts working again

@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

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?

#

@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.

velvet shell
#

Should I use regular OBS when streaming for stream alerts instead of OBS Live? What's the difference?

remote moat
#

So @full thunder How is one supposed to access the dashboard now since its apparently been changed in the OBS Live drop down?

honest echo
#

@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?

velvet shell
#

I see, thank you

remote moat
#

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.

honest echo
#

@remote moat Yes, on 19th i see our dev team release a new version of the "StreamElements" tab.

remote moat
#

Apparently.

charred bear
#

Dannnggg no one can help me ?

remote moat
#

Well that new version pretty much has made streaming more difficult for me, so pass along my thanks to them.

honest echo
#

@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

oak crow
#

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.

honest echo
#

@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

charred bear
remote moat
#

So was the removal of that option intentional by the devs? @honest echo

#

@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

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.

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 😦

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
#

You have custom CSS enabled the on alert/variation

#

disable/untoggle that

cold osprey
#

@shy mountain Thank you! That solved my issue right away.

white drift
#

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

full thunderBOT
#

@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.

knotty wasp
#

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?

white drift
#

that is it

shy mountain
#

@knotty wasp what issue are you referring to?

full thunderBOT
#

@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

shy mountain
#

Dashboard -> Modules on the left side -> chat alerts module on top

white drift
#

@shy mountain was that link for me??

shy mountain
#

You are the only one currently posting a log file, so yes, that is analysis of your log

white drift
#

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

proven sable
#

how do I setup the thanks for following alert in the chat on mobile

shy mountain
#

Did you take a look at the analysis?

white drift
#

yes im looking at it right now and tbh im so confused

#

todays my first ay using obs live

shy mountain
#

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

knotty wasp
#

Well, tks for the help 🙄

Does anyone know why my alerts are mirrored/backwards on stream but when previewed in OBS it looks right?

shy mountain
#

Right click the browser source in the preview -> transform -> flip horizontally

exotic pilot
#

@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

shy mountain
#

That is odd, as it shouldn't be mirrored, unless you've done something to OBS

not that I know of

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.

anyone else know why im dropping 65% frames everytime i go live but my internet is fine?

full thunderBOT
#

@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.

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? 😄

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.

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?

nova scaffold
fringe scarab
#

Okay, did that, issue remains

nova scaffold
#

@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

fringe scarab
#

on the activity feed says that im on twitch

nova scaffold
# fringe scarab

Yes because you are still logged in with Twitch.

Please follow those steps:
Top menu: StreamElements > Logout.
Log in with Facebook.

fringe scarab
#

Oh yeah, i did that but in a browser

#

Thanks for the help

#

👍

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?

nova scaffold
#

Linux support is tricky, were there any updates?

nova scaffold
slim quest
#

i recently reinstalled

#

it.

nova scaffold

#

it dosent :

nova scaffold
#

Not sure how i can help out here. Checking with colleagues.

slim quest
#

if OBS.LIVE dosent work can use obs and use the overlays over there from the links

nova scaffold
#

Yes you can. Try that: top menu, StreamElements, Switch to OBS.Studio

slim quest
#

alright i'll do while you guys figure this out i guess.

nova scaffold
#

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

slim quest
#

oh ok

slim quest
#

any update

nova scaffold
#

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

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

nova scaffold
#

Try both and see if that updates all the docks.

kindred obsidian
#

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?

nova scaffold
# balmy eagle 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.

kindred obsidian
#

@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

nova scaffold
kindred obsidian
#

But currently it seems like OBS.live only handles one profile, using the last one to be logged into

nova scaffold
#

Yes this is correct, unless you log out and log in with the new profile, it will not change.

kindred obsidian
#

Ok, any idea when this might be implemented?

nova scaffold
#

You can log out and back in while live.

kindred obsidian
#

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 🙂

nova scaffold
#

This is by design, there will be no switching between accounts on the fly without a logout.

kindred obsidian
#

But OBS works the opposite way by design

#

So this is an odd choice surely?

nova scaffold
#

OBS.Live has more functions tied to the twitch login, since the twitch login is what is used to get you logged into streamelements.

kindred obsidian
#

Yep

nova scaffold
#

Which means you NEED to log out and back in to change it.

kindred obsidian
#

But that's not how OBS works...

#

I have a profile for each channel in OBS, right?

nova scaffold
#

But this is how our plugin works, since you are logging into a 3rd party account with Twitch.

kindred obsidian
#

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?

nova scaffold
#

If you switch profiles, you will switch between the OBS settings. But not the docks.

kindred obsidian
#

I know

#

Ah, no

#

OBS docks update

#

Like the chat for example

#

Even the 'edit stream info' dock updates

nova scaffold
#

Yes but again not on StreamElements, since our plugin also has integrations there and it does not work like that.

kindred obsidian
#

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

nova scaffold
#

You just need to understand that this is by design since there is a 3rd party involved.

kindred obsidian
#

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

nova scaffold
#

No, the combined accounts are designed to switch between them on the website.

#

OBS.Live will not have the "on the fly" switch.

kindred obsidian
#

Can it be requested to add it to the roadmap?

#

It's a really useful feature of OBS

nova scaffold
kindred obsidian
#

Isn't the third party Twitch in the case of authentication?

nova scaffold
#

For us to switch accounts there HAS to be a twitch login in between.

kindred obsidian
#

But isn't Twitch the third party?

nova scaffold
#

Yes, it is. And we use their login (or other platforms) for authentication.

kindred obsidian
#

Right, but so does OBS right? So how come they can do it?

#

Not trying to be awkward, just don't understand the difference

nova scaffold
#

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.

kindred obsidian
#

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?

nova scaffold
#

No, because the SE accounts REQUIRE Twitch (or YT/FB) authentication.

kindred obsidian
#

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.

kindred obsidian
#

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

nova scaffold
kindred obsidian
#

'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

nova scaffold
kindred obsidian
#

Bugger

#

That puts it low down the priority list lol

nova scaffold
#

Usual switch is between Twitch and YT for example.

kindred obsidian
#

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

kindred obsidian
#

Ok

#

What about the channel switcher in-dock? Surely that's more possible? 🙂

nova scaffold
kindred obsidian
#

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

quick scaffold
#

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

nova scaffold
#

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

kindred obsidian
#

Being a dev myself I understand the pain of trying to maintain a closed initial system design

#

I'm not asking for changing the entire login system lol

#

Just that maybe mirroring what you have on the website in the channel switcher element
