im going to try an uninstall reinstall, ill let you know if that sorts it
my custom font wont show up
even tho it did before i closed the program and the program remembering that the font is saved
hello
Mh. I would suggest refreshing the cache of the overlay, it should reload it with the custom font settings.
hi in my obs it says im live but when i check my twitch im not
how do i do that
Browser source settings - Refresh cache button.
cyronic hi in my obs it says im live but when i check my twitch im not
I saw your message in the twitch helpdesk already.
emptyed the cache and nothing changed
Then restart OBS. If it is not picking up the font, there is not much we can do.
@nova scaffold how do i check my feed
Check your stream settings.
@nova scaffold then what
If you are live and the twitch channel is not showing you live, then you need to check where you are streaming to....
So check your stream settings.
Hello, I’m at currently using obs.live with restream.io to multi stream. Is there a way to see my activity feed for both twitch and fb all in one?
No, our tools are not designed to support multiple platforms at the same time.
I suggest a popup activity feed for the secondary platform as a small browser source.
How would I do that? I tried poping out the streamelements activity feed while under the fb channel but when I input in into Obs it defaulted to the twitch activity feed
you can download two of obs studio and obs.live so u can see both
Wouldn’t that take a lot of resource?
The best way is to log into StreamElements with the secondary platform and pop out the activity feed as a browser window
this is less problematic than running 2 instances etc.
Im trying to change the Twitch interface of stream elements to Youtube. How do I do that?
In the app itself I still have the Twitch chatbox and twitch notifications but how do I change that? If it is possible
🤔 So it's impossible for me to test the Stream Chat from Streamelements without being public? (I was doing a test stream on Unlisted on Youtube)
im having trouble with video on command if anyone can help?
hey guys ive been told that game music can be copyrighted claimed on videos. is the media requester on obs copyright free?
oh ok. is there anything i can add to obs thats not copyrigh claimed?
your best bet is something like Pretzel.rocks or streambeats
how do i add that?
You would simply play the music and it should come through assuming your headphones are what the audio is playing in. You'll need to adjust the volume wherever you're playing the music so it does not drown you out in OBS
so it can play in the background and the destop audio mix on obs will pick it up?
and yes im using headphonesd
ok pretzel rocks seems to work well. thank you 🙂
hi i want to ask why media request doesn't have sound?? Thanks
In the overlay or in OBS.Live?
in overlay
can i change my se.pay currency?
Not really, it is tied to your region and your bank currency.
make sure you have the media request widget in the overlay.
well i just moved to poland and i tried to change it and it still says gbp so i might as well just stick to it huh
yes it is yesterday all was working now i load obs and no sound to headset
Check the audio settings please, might have changed.
all ready check them all set up to headset for sound reload the link couple of times and still nothing
i purchased some alert overlays and when i upload them to the streamelement overlay editor, the person's name won't appear in the box?
Not sure what is going on here. If the media share settings are correct, the videos are playing in the overlay and the volume is not 0, then you need to check OBS settings.
Depends on the alertbox settings. Alerts have variables that are responsible for sharing the names.
By default - always enabled, but for custom overlays - please check settings.
the ones i got are just .webm files @nova scaffold
i also have a problems. im trying to use an overlay but when i put in the url for the overlay into obs, its only showing a corner of the actual overlay
^ you might have to change the size of the browser source on obs to 1920x1080 or whatever your size is. i had the same issue before @flat snow
'sup amigos. Is there any way to group audio sources so I can use a compressor filter on that particular group? When I group or scene-nest the audio input sources, It's only possible to apply video filters >.<. Would like to sidechain a complete soundboard and rather don't have a row of a singular audio-files in the mixer either
@flat snow so on the first img or the bigger one, chane the height to 1920 and width to 1080 and save
got it now. Thanks!
no problem! glad i could help
If you have just webm files, then you have our default alertbox settings to start with.
And they show alerts with names.
right. but the names arent appearing in the box. if i select the 'text over image' layout no name appears. and then sometimes the animations dont update correctly
try to change the alertbox size and/or the text layout.
since you are dealing with imported files, you need to adjust the size
change it how. i scaled the imported files cause it had cropped them weirdly originally. and ive messed with some of the text settings already but so far no luck
Hey guyz having issues with Obs live it happened today no audio when i transition from one scene to another all my other audio inputs work fine ..also i noticed athough i'm on a selected scene it's greyed out and it says no source selected... any ideas how to resolve this
Change the size of the alertbox (overlay is 1920x1080, so check if the text is cut off because the widget is too small) and change the layout to see what is going on.
You can adjust the text position later, first figure out where it is 🙂
the alertbox is 1920x1080. i changed that asap. and when i change the layout the text appears, it just wont appear in the box when i change it back
Then you need to adjust the text position settings, called margin
My dropped frames were so high, yesterday 1% for over an hour and in 5 min it was at 86% and it was unwatchable. Is there a solution?
Yes. This is a massive packet loss, so first thing - call your internet provider and check with them.
2nd - change ingest server for your streaming platform (twitch has like 20, YT has 2 etc.)
where is this setting?
3rd - there are test tools that can help you check where the issue happens.
Stream settings, the usual server selection.
ok thanks
But with 86% loss my first recommendation is - ask your provider
Yeah its my wifi its just fluctuating from 85-92% loss
hey im super new to all of this and just ran into a little problem when trying to apply an overlay. i seem to keep getting this when trying to add it as a browser source in obs
need help. I have my alerts set up through elements. When I get stars, or follows, the alert only works every so often. It doesnt work every follow, or star given. any ideas?
I'm wondering if anybody else has this issue, I use Discord and XBox chat app for communicating with team mates. I'd like to send those through the Voice Chat in the GoXLR but when I pull up OBS, I don't see voice chat as an audio option. Any ideas?
Hello. My streamelements bot is not working on streamlabs obs, why? it works normally in Obs.
I had created a custom name, so it stopped working and the option to change to the default disappeared from streamlabs
@brave flower We're not able to troubleshoot issues with using our overlays in StreamLabs OBS (SLOBS) as we don't have the tools to support their software. We recommend using OBS Studio or OBS Studio with our plugin OBS.Live.
Thank you! I will try this tonight if the bot decides to stop working again mid-stream.
Hi my bots are not working between twitch and obs live not sure what I have done as they were working can someone help me out please?!
I just built out a new PC (windows), is there a way to copy all the configurations over to the new computer?
I can copy all of the assets and stuff to the same directories and everything, but the positions and stuff is what I am more concerned about
@median cargo 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

I Found an overlay I wanted to use from streamElements. but i cant seem to get it to work right. Arent they supposed to go to scene, instead of sources?
is there OBS live for macbooks?
Yes, there is a version for MacBooks available
oh really do you know where I can find it? When I looked it up I couldn't find anything and some websites said that there wasn't even a version.
@icy mesa iirc you should be able to download it here: https://streamelements.com/obslive
Awesome thank you so much!
I linked my OBS chat to Twitch instead of FB. I cant find a way to change it. Anyone got any tips or advice?

Having an issue setting up stream deck on OBS 26.1.1, if anyone can help? Getting the "remote plugin is missing" message and I've tried reinstalling both applications a few times (as instructed by Elgato) but no luck
@latent raven If you are having issues with Elgato hardware or software, we recommend reaching out to their support here: https://e.lga.to/help
Hi! i keep trying to upload sounds for my alerts, but it keeps saying upload failed. i;ve tried multiple different sound clips and they all do the same. 😦
Disable any ad blocker or anti-virus program
that might be blocking the upload
if that doesn't help, then you might need to either restart your PC
or actually do a deep scan
I have done but their only suggestion was to reinstall both programs but that's not helping sadly
@latent raven Are you having issues with OUR streamdeck integration or generally with the streamdeck?
@rugged quail Obs.live is a plugin for OBS Studio for the best OBS support, please join their Official Discord @ discord.gg/obsproject
Fixed! Turns out the forth uninstall and reinstall was the fix. No idea why it wasn't working before but thanks anyway!

@knotty sparrow StreamElements menu, on top of OBS > Logout > Login
I already tried but nothing happens. There's no window popping up.
uptop go to View then Doccs then hit Reset UI it should bring it bacc
Still the same
Right clicc on it then hit enable preview?
nothing happens.
i already tried reinstalling many times. it does not fix my issue.
im not trying to capture any game right now. but i think i should see things at the middle part of obs
Not sure what you're talking about.
the middle is the previews for your games and stuff like that
which in fact you have minecraft and apex there so im not sure what youre trying to do
you dont have any overlays there or anything
Did you try and reinstall OBS? Seems like something is blocking it from loading the window it needs to load right now.
he did state "i reintalled many times"
here im talking about that panels at middle part of this guy's obs
sorry for my bad english :<
the logout and rest UI should have brought all that bacc
i already did this
Them something is blocking OBS.Live from loading the login page properly
as in like firewall or anti-virus
^^
Okay so I have an issue that hasn’t really happened to me until now. I’ve been using obsstreamelements for about a month now with no problems but yesterday and today I’ve started having issues where I will be streaming and about an hour and a half to two hours into my stream I get disconnected from obs not only that but now when I try to stream I’m getting frame drops out of no where. I’m wondering what the issue could be and why it just all of a sudden happened outta know where

Hello, whenever I close OBS, the custom bot name returns to StreamElements. So I cannot use StreamLabs OBS.
Hello, my custom chat bot does not show a bot symbol in chat. Is that an issue, or how can it be fixed?
hi There, i keep getting Freezes when the OBS.live is installed right away when i start OBS....when i just install the new OBSstudio over it, it works fine.
i have read something similiar in the #beta_selive
but this thing came out of nowhere, and also this Crash Log is the First , all the freezes like 9/10 are just freeze and i have to shutdown them w/o getting a crash log.....
can someone help out? i really wanna use the Extension/OBS.live stuff
@nova scaffold can you check my question?
@rugged quail Not all staff are able to assist with support issues. Please refrain from pinging them or sending them DMs unless asked to.
Okay sorry
Custom bot name requires our software to run. So keep it open.
Hi can anyone explain to me how I can import a psd file into stream elements? Someone made it for me but stream elements doesnt seem to accept that type of file
PSD is a photoshop file. You need to actually export a picture etc. instead of using a project file 🙂
Ask the designer who sent you the file for an exported copy
Hi! I need help with the bot. It doesn't work if I select to use my Streamer name
Use the 3rd option
Set custom bot name
and login with your twitch account
Oh! Thx


HEy guys heyitsmecorbin here. I wanted to add an alert overlay but am not sure where to paste the link from stream elemnts. if anyone could assist that'd be awesome!
@candid egret 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
THANK YOU!
hey i right clicked and pressed screenshot and am wondering where to find it. Thanks!
guys I have a massive problem
I updated OBS.Live and now my OBS crashes on startup no matter what
I deleted and redownloaded OBS but now I can't use OBS.Live anymore
how can I get it without it making my OBS crash ?????
Pardon?
@regal finch A crash log is required to investigate the cause of your issue. Please upload the last crash log.
- In OBS, click the Help menu
- Select Crash Reports and then Upload Last Crash Report
- Copy the URL and paste it to the chat here.
Note: If you are not able to follow the above steps, open your file explorer and go here: %appdata%\obs-studio\crashes and provide the last listed file.
i got it thanks tho
@regal finch 1) Uninstall OBS.Live and OBS Studio completely, but leave this unchecked https://i.imgur.com/LBaHgM1.png
2) Download and install OBS Studio from https://obsproject.com/
3) If it doesn't crash, install OBS.Live too.
-
It's fixed? Nice!
-
It crashes again?
- Repeat steps 1 and 2
- Duplicate the current "Scene Collection" at the very top of OBS, call it something like "Backup" and remove all browser sources in that backup
- Install OBS.Live and see if it still crashes
- If yes, repeat steps 1 and 2, leave OBS.Live uninstalled, and we can troubleshoot further from there.
Hello! I have a question. In the chat window in obs live, is there a way to make it so it stays default on dark mode? I have to change it every time i open obs.
@balmy pivot 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.
Try running OBS as administrator, it should save then.
I set up alerts in my widget maker, they work fine and the link appears in the browser. But when I move them to my obs it just doesnt show up. The only widget that appears is My subscriber goal and the rest are invisible
@wise silo should i always run it on admin?
Yes.
@wise silo awesome thank you!!! 
Are they all on the same overlay, added to OBS?
@wise silo it's downloading right now
I tried with all the same overlay but only the sub goal appeared. When I moved it to individual overlays it was the same problem
Do you have overlays hidden?
No. The subscriber one works fine but everyhting else (chat etc.) appears in brower but not obs
@wise silo crashed again
Just OBS is crashing aswell?
And you tried all 6 steps?
yh
I fixed my problem,
Try that.
oh ok lmao
mitch when i download it it just puts me back on my normal scene collection
Then did you select the 'user settings' checkbox in the uninstall tab of obs to remove your scene collection after you backed it up?
click that little box
and this time it asked me to update
so im going safe and saying no
and its worked
it kind of worked the wrong way
lol
ah you two dating? 😛
Only on the second tuesday of every week
hello my sub alert wont change to my custom alert even thou it shows that its changed? https://gyazo.com/b4fa81a3fa6e95ed456be3dc5a799554
Did you change the sub variation?
oh no
haha thank you!
is there anyway to get my chat and activity box to update? they don't show anything and i just got done reinstalling it
In your OBS client?
yeah, my obs client won't show any activity, and my chat won't even let me send a test message
@ancient orbit StreamElements menu, on top of OBS > Logout > Login
So my obs shows that my stream is fine... The frames the bit rate everything is fine. But when others watch my stream and even if I watch my stream on twitch It has a frame rate of like 3 fps per second
@south iris 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.
I dont know how long this has been happening for but it seemed to be fine when I was streaming earlier
Are you on a laptop?
@wise silo do you know how to make the text in the box?
select text over image then play with the text margins in advanced text settings
it doesnt change when i do that like it stays the same
when i do the text over thing i dont see the text at all
I am on a laptop
Do you know the model of your laptop?
uh Idk I just know that this thing is decently strong it has a i7 core and integrated graphics
integrated graphics is not strong.
its league of legends
Doesnt matter, streaming is a very intensive process, and to game ontop of that with purely integrated graphics is suicide to the mGPU chipset

hello how can i change my tipping link on obs live?
i add account in stream elements and i don't know how i change it on obs
@cosmic imp StreamElements menu, on top of OBS > Logout > Login
What do you mean?
Unsure if this is a twitch or obslive problem.. can anyone help? Through obslive I changed the bot name to match my name. It has worked perfectly. Until last night. My commands no longer work if the bot is set like this (see pic)
I've parted the bot/channel in streamelements webpage dashboard and reconnected the activity side of things in obslive. Is there another way I can fix this? I loved the ability for the bot to use my name and emotes!
@frigid crow StreamElements menu, on top of OBS > Logout > Login
Ughhh can't believe I didn't find that. Assumed closing/restarting would do it. Thank you @full thunder !!!!! 
I still can not get a custom bot to work in OBS.live, it's really getting quite frustrating now. I've literally uninstalled OBS, OBS.live, parted the bot, logged out my account on both OBS and the dashboard, disconnected the StreamElements connection in Twitch on both my account and my bot's account. No matter what it'll will just remain on this and not change.
And I've followed previous support provided which is the below "1) Right click on your OBS desktop shortcut and open the Properties
2) In the Target field, add the following to the very end: --remote-debugging-port=40404 (don't forget to add a space before the current path)
3) Open OBS (or restart if it was open)
4) Open your web browser and type in: localhost:40404
5) Click on StreamElements - Activity feed
6) Navigate to the Console tab
7) Type the following into the console and hit enter: store.customBot.removeCustomBotIntegration()
8) Try setting the custom bot name
9) Remove the additional flag in step 2 from your shortcut properties."
@dry topaz StreamElements menu, on top of OBS > Logout > Login
Done that countless times
when you set the default name (StreamElements) the bot works? @dry topaz
Yup, and it works with setting it to my own name too
Just never works when trying to connect a custom bot
ok have you check that the other account (the one that you are trying to set the bot) isn't banned/muted/timeout'd on your channel?
Yeah, and I've even disconnected that account from StreamElements and made another BOT account just to see if it was an issue with the other
ok i'm dealing with an issue right now but i'll get back to you asap
Appreciate it, I'll try and keep an eye on this channel
streamelements bot isnt working after name change, help?
@spring tide 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).
Hello! Quick question... A few days ago my obs stopped displaying my subs. I've deleted the source and reconfigured the source and it still doesn't display.
Heya. I dont know what but ever since i think the update i have been having encoder errors? I was wondering if other people were having the same problem?
Does the emulation work on the dashboard? And do other events pop up?
Might be worth checking in the Official OBS discord
@rugged quail Obs.live is a plugin for OBS Studio for the best OBS support, please join their Official Discord @ discord.gg/obsproject
So i just installed Kappagen to have some emote explosions, but i noticed it added a bit of lag to my stream when activated, so i think I might wait until I have a better CPU before using it.
Given this, will the Streamelements overlay still use CPU if it is disabled in my scenes? If not, I'll just go ahead and disable the streamelements overlay in each scene rather than delete it so i can add it later.
As long as you disable the browser sources OBS will not try to load them, so it shouldn't tax your CPU
Nice, thanks 🙂 Any quick tips for reducing the CPU usage of kappagen if I wanted to try it again before upgrading my CPU?
Keeping the amount of browser sources low by keeping things in one overlay helps reduce the CPU usage, but it tend to differ between CPUs. You could also try limit the amount of emotes showing up in the explosions
hey that could work too! thanks 🙂
Np!
I have a problem with my obs lagging without even streaming or recording! I have a 2070 and i9 9900k and didn't have this problem before, and I have the same settings and everything as before. My stream also got 30 fps when streaming warzone on lowest settings! I don't know what to do 😦

So, my OBS keeps freezing on startup of the app, but ONLY when I have the obs.live plugin installed. As soon as I uninstall just the plug in and restart, no freezes. Reinstall the plugin, and boom, freezing again. Suggestions?
@wind vessel 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.
my last stream or two logs to compare freeze vs no freeze?
I'll reinstall your plugin and then send you a log file after a crash.
10 restarts without plugin: no freeze. 1 with: freeze. log incoming.
@wind vessel A crash log is required to investigate the cause of your issue. Please upload the last crash log.
- In OBS, click the Help menu
- Select Crash Reports and then Upload Last Crash Report
- Copy the URL and paste it to the chat here.
Note: If you are not able to follow the above steps, open your file explorer and go here: %appdata%\obs-studio\crashes and provide the last listed file.
@wind vessel 1) Uninstall OBS.Live and OBS Studio completely, but leave this unchecked https://i.imgur.com/LBaHgM1.png
2) Download and install OBS Studio from https://obsproject.com/
3) If it doesn't crash, install OBS.Live too.
-
It's fixed? Nice!
-
It crashes again?
- Repeat steps 1 and 2
- Duplicate the current "Scene Collection" at the very top of OBS, call it something like "Backup" and remove all browser sources in that backup
- Install OBS.Live and see if it still crashes
- If yes, repeat steps 1 and 2, leave OBS.Live uninstalled, tell us that it didn't work and use your old default scene collection again.
Or I guess I can just forgo the custom bot name and run obs without the plugin. Thank you!
Your advice to @inner knot fixed my problem from today. 👍 🤩 I had exactly the same issue. Thank you!
hey, you can add additional channels through our dashboard

Is there a way to lower the stinger volume in obs
not sure if i should post this in here, but for the past week or so, my alerts aren't triggering. worked for a long time until recently. now, i get stuff sometimes when i retrigger the alert but also no
Hey guys, I am trying to run a test stream offline as I am playing an unreleased beta build of a game for the Developer so I want it to be perfect. I understand I need to put '?bandwidthtest=true' after my stream key in order to emulate the stream for a test drive.
However I can't seem to find the place inside OBS Live to actually put in my stream key and add this to the end, All I could find was an 'Enable Bandwidth Test Mode' but no place to actually enter my stream key and add the ?bandwidthtest=true to the end.
Is the bandwidth test mode the latest way to successfully go live without someone seeing or being alerted or am I still missing something?
Any help appreciated! Thanks! 🙏
Hey so how do I get the Theme from the website to my obs.live? I'm really confused there 😅 I'd be glad if you could help me out thanxx.
@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
oooooh Nice thankss
Hello, question about streaming. I currently have the OBS.live linked to twitch.. is there a way to multi-stream to youtube as well?
StreamElements does not support multistreaming
how to add the activity feed and alerts
@rugged quail you add them, with the plus, at the bottom.
Hello there, can i ask something? i cant stream on 1080p and 60 fps. before this im using obs streamlabs and its perfectly work on 1080p and 60fps. any solution there?
You can - but i wouldn't but that's a different story
SLOBS is a "set one click and forget"
OBS needs proper setup, @steady field
You asked, I delivered! Here's some updated recommendations for OBS settings following the new NVENC updates and OBS 23 release.
►► OBS MASTER CLASS: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLzo7l8HTJNK-IKzM_zDicTd2u20Ab2pAl
► OBS 23 Update: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kW7Hd7kKGI4
► New NVENC EXPLAINED: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6fyP7kg...
cant see it
dont scale output if you want 1080p out
watch the video.
Regardless, i would not stream 1080p60
but that's my opinion.
720p?
if you want 60fps, yes.
Hi, I'm having trouble with my alerts, I've set them up in Stream Elements and used URL in Browser source on OBS.live, but when I test them the only show half the alert and sometimes the alert doesnt even show up
Can anyone help me with this issue?
Basically:
1080p60 = 12000 Kbps
1080p30 = 6000 Kbps
720p60 = 6000 Kbps
720p30 = 3000 Kbps
and because 12000 is impossible..
Not a clean dividable resolution
would avoid.
unless your base canvas is also 864, but then again, not a clean dividable integer.
while it's fractional
you get wierd .25 edges
@full thunder
set the right browser size.
I've tried that doesn't change
@livid aspen 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
Alright let me try that
Need help please
With what?
The answer to the question what is life?
What we'd recommend to snack on?
What windows to use?
What our favorite color is?
Gotta be a little bit more specific there @rugged quail
The Size of my Start Scene it is set to 1920 x 1080 an it's not showing the whole Scene
No it's not
i see a full preview screen
any insight on this?
just add it manually
but i cant find where 😦
you linked it with twitch then i guess?
O my Bad I was looking at the Wrong Scene... I'm so sorry
yup streaming from there for a long time, but just cant find where my stream key info is located in streamelements
to be more precise
hmmm not there for me
if you use the checkmark
it's already in bandwidth test mode
no need to add it
adding it is the manual way
great, that was my initial question as i was confused if i still had to add it to stream key string, thanks a lot for the help! @tender python
it's either with checkbox or manual 🙂
awesome stuff, thanks a lot for that I appreciate it vastly! ❤️
if you ever want to go manual:

I would like to start up a dual PC stream. I have OBS on both computers and would like to do an OBS to OBS transfer. How do I accomplish this?? Also the capture card I have I do not believe is being recognized by my second PC.
if the capture card isn't being recognized then u can't. The setup is pretty straight forward, capture card will catch image from gamingPC and display as a an source in OBS then it will route the img to the monitor u use. then the second PC will stream the image
the gaming pc doesn't need to have obs or anything else
hello - I changed my name on twitch and had to download OBS again on a new PC. None of my commands work anymore coming from SE. I've logged in to SE under my new name and it seems to recognize the name change.
Any advice on getting my commands to work again on twitch?
@gray jolt 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
@full thunder not using a custom bot name
@gray jolt Go to the Dashboard > Right side > Part channel > Join channel(https://streamelements.com/dashboard)
@gray jolt 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).
did U saved it ??
yes
I hope this is not a lame question, but how do I go ONLINE in streamelements? My youtube stream is running, streamelements is connected to my account, but still it says OFFLINE.
I also had a question, when I test my alerts they show perfectly fine on Streamelements but cutoff by alot on OBS, how can I fix this?
@fair iris 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
Capture card or NDI, the latter is free, but has network requirements.
hello, I've created an overlay and changed the fonts, but when I put it into obs the fonts stay stanard and don't change. What can I do to change it?
did you remember to save it ?
yes I did, sadly nothing changed
everything I do changes, except the font
uhh its offside i think
in css part in OBS browser
add
@import url("https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Offside");
uhh I don't really know much about that, how do I do that ?
open the browser source, there's a CSS field beneath it, below all the paramters.
@wary dew poepie 😗

all thank u
sorry :(
he loves me 😄 it's all good
its a font thing
another way would've been to you download and install the font
but that's... unneeded
yeah seems way too much for such an easy thing
whenever I have window capture open and capturing, my cursor doesn't come up on games, but only on the stream preview
you mean its showing the cursor on stream but not on your game?
yes
its so annoying
usually games hide the windows cursor, is there any reason you can't use game capture?
Hi I'm a little new around here, I need help with the hype cup. Is there somebody I should ask?
or effer to?
that doesn't seem related to the OBS.Live plugin, you might want to ask around in the official OBS discord (https://discord.gg/obsproject)
you can post your question here
alright, my problem is that the hype cup works fine for the followers "coins", but when I try to use it for the tips, it crops the image and it shows only a quarter of it. Is there any advice or something I'm missing?
can you share a screenshot?
yessir just a sec
this is for the followers alerts and it works fine
this one is for the tips, and as you can see, it's cropped badly

when I preview my overlay in a new tab nothing is there, it's just blank.
how can I fix this?
it seems that there is a bug with custom images, the devs are aware of the issue
you could try uploading the images in a smaller size and see if that helps with the cropping
nope, already tried it unfortunately 😦
the image I have won't change size
are you testing alerts or just the overlay?
alerts
oh, so I have to stream it
no, you can test it in OBS
yeah, in preview
@unborn sleet 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
yeah, but that button should be on, because LIVE means: send to OBS 😉
quick question, there's a way to know when it's gonna be fixed? I know developers works hard, just curious
unfortunately no ETA 

my stream smushes to the center i think its a ratio problem
This happens on every device
check output video reso
Ok
hello
@karmic grotto i tried it and it didnt fix it
im having a problem where my internet connection drops to 100 kb/s when i stream league of legends on obs live. and not just the stream, the laptops internet connection drops aswell, and it only goes back to normal when i restart my laptop. is it a common thing or is it just me?
make sure your source is filling the whole canvas, you can use ctrl+F on the source to fit to screen
looks like router overload tbh
when i check the wifi on my phone, its working perfectly but idk for some reason obs does something to my network adapters on the laptop maybe
Media request dock is only a blank screen, ive tried closing it and refreshing it to no avail
StreamElements menu, on top of OBS > Logout > Login
it should keep the position you left it at before closing/logging out
well like when it says tour media request or whatever, it awlays pops out to my other screen and i have to dock it again
are you using the integrated dock or you created a custom one with the url?
lock the layout
Guys can anyone help me... My stream keeps going offline
Going offline is not a crash.
@ebon monolith 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.
You stopped the stream with a hotkey.
hey i need some help with my bot
it is not working on my streams yet everything shows up as if it is working on the stream elements sides but i am not sure how to fix it
@orchid onyx 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.
you mean my link to get on
6007978a65ea006833d6646
sorry i forgot a number its 6007978a65ea006833d66463
check now, it should be fixed
i don't know if this is the right place to ask for setting help with obs.live im having an issue with my KBs/s dropping to 0 even though i have lowered all my settings to as low as i can bring them
I suggest you use this tool
@umbral mountain 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.
that will tell you if its an internet issue
i use that tool and i have it set to the best server in north america witch for me is Chicago im in new york but im still having this issues i have lowered my bitrate to 2500 lowered to 720p 30 fps and im still having issues my internet upload speed is 40 through speedtest.net
what bitrate does that tool show for your best server?
let me run the test and post a screen shot for you @ocean rivet
@ocean rivet here are the results
@ocean rivet i use Chicago as my server
it doesn't seem to be a bandwidth issue then
@ocean rivet my stats on obs.live never show an issues but at the bottom of obs my green box is red and my kbs/s is 0 and my stream is buffering for a minute or two till the kbs/s starts going back up then my stream comes back very pixelated and after a minute or two it goes back to normal
check your OBS log, that might give you more info as to why this is happening
@ocean rivet this is what i got
@ocean rivet Which I already fixed the warnings
Im just completely puzzled and at this point am willing to pay someone to come set this up i have seen people stream with much worse computers with better settings than what i am trying to do but im still having issues
im not sure whats left to check or do
does the issue happen with both x264 and NVENC encoders?
@ocean rivet yes it does
@ocean rivet i have tried everything i have gone through obs bitrate guide and done all of the thing with nothing helping at this point the last thing left that was on their list to try is to switch streaming platform which i have debated lately but dont know how i feel about leaving twitch and starting some place new
😦 having this issue guys 😦

Hello guys and gals! I’m having an issue where OBS live will actually capture my audio from Elgato capture card but I can’t get it out to my headphones
@hollow drum If you are having issues with Elgato hardware or software, we recommend reaching out to their support here: https://e.lga.to/help
Hey I’m wondering is there a way to play Spotify in the background of your stream?
@icy mesa Yes. However that is not something we can help with as it is against their ToS to stream their content.
I see alright thank you
To be honest i dont know if i am even in the right place so i clicked the wrong button and accidently banned the stream elements chat bot, i instantly removed the ban when i noticed but now it no longer shows its there tried restarting it but says bots already there when it no longer is

Is there a way to stream games from stream elements 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
We're not able to troubleshoot issues with using our overlays in StreamLabs OBS (SLOBS) as we don't have the tools to support their software. We recommend using OBS Studio or OBS Studio with our plugin OBS.Live.
There is no such thing as stream elements obs, only OBS.live as plugin for OBS
Ok
Did they add any updates that help with music?
You have to be kidding right?

My OBS keeps crashing since the 4th. I dont know if there was an update but Ive noticed several times when I start up OBS it freezes and crashes. It also has crashed on me mid stream 3 times since then. Ive never had issues before. Ive noticed CPU usage for OBS spikes during the times it freezes and Im not sure what I can do to fix the constant crashes, Any ideas? This looks like a common issue right now on twitter.
how do i get the obs streamelements chat to appear on obs
Click 'Docks' at the top, then chat.
@junior epoch A crash log is required to investigate the cause of your issue. Please upload the last crash log.
- In OBS, click the Help menu
- Select Crash Reports and then Upload Last Crash Report
- Copy the URL and paste it to the chat here.
Note: If you are not able to follow the above steps, open your file explorer and go here: %appdata%\obs-studio\crashes and provide the last listed file.
?
Click 'Docks' at the top, then chat.
where is docs, i cant see it
At the top.
can u send a screenshot please
Click "View" first
oh i found it
sorry for inconvenience but how do i get it from the top of my screen to the right now , sorry
Click & Drag
ok
Uninstall your streamdeck and see if it still works (backup your settings first)
ive done it
Hey I have a question I closed the media manager and activity feed tab in obs.live how do I reopen it
Oh I figured it out sorry for bothering
Yes, the top menu, docks and StreamElements tab 🙂

Made a 2nd Scene an I don't know how to put in the Audio can I get help please?
Check audio settings, those are global and not based on scenes.
Thank you
i have tried for 2 days to fix this squished image of my stream, I have uninstalled reintsalled, i dont know whatelse to do
👀 Looks strange. Can you show me the source settings for it?
and your canvas settings from the Video settings?
The video settings are correct.
Yeah i mean the sources, the starting soon
should be the correct resolution too
Also do you have the VOD of that or a clip?
Got a clip of that?
can you share your output tab real quick?
uncheck rescale output
you are using 1080x1920 in there
just uncheck it and it will use the selected output in video settings
asixns
Yep you have rescaling set to the wrong aspect ratio
Hi there, i juste downloaded obs.live on my mac but i can't figure out how to turn it on in OBS, any idea ?
should be 16:9 and not 9:16
ok
Just remove the "Rescale output".
would anyone be able to help? my custom commands aint working on streamelements? every time i type the command it says ***
fixed, thanks!
If links in chat are appearing as ***** either mod the bot or disable block hyperlinks in your twitch channel settings: https://dashboard.twitch.tv/settings/moderation
in what helpdesk can I ask for help for the streamelements website?
The help button anywhere on our site etc.
You can also ask here
Support members are present and the same people as in Helpdesk.
alright, just making some custom alerts and the alert text keeps going below the video. Even tho I press the text above the video button its still below. and the only way to get it on top is with a text animation. any suggestions?
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.
Change the layout setting first, then work with margin^
i can see the text faded out in the correct spot
so when the video ends it shows up in the correct spot
The video affects the text position.
So you need to work with the layout and margin
if you are working with custom CSS (since you said custom) then this overrides all settings and you need to code it.
yes I probably do! thank you
Does obs.live work on mac os please ?

Yes, OBS.Live works on OSX
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/
also i dont have the window to update my stream description how would i add that back to my stream elements?
Go to that link from your respective browser and it should give you the link.
OBS.Live has that in the activity feed menu.
OBS Studio has a dock for Twitch, so you need to add the Dock back
i just downloaded and installed it but it does'nt show up in obs studio..
how do i add the dock back?
Check the top menu. View - Docks - enable the one that you need
Need help with OBS live if anyone can help
doesn't seem to be in there :l
So what dock are you looking for?
Like i said, we have the activity feed that also has stream settings inside.
i just want the dock back where i can do it from there
ON OBS.LIVE what does (ignore streaming setting recommendation) mean?
Some providers like Twitch have upper limits on the bitrate for video and audio. If this option is enabled, OBS will never exceed the settings specified by the provider
i stream on 7k bitrate so if i enable it i cant stream on 7k??
non-partners are capped at 6k bitrate so I'd assume OBS caps it at that number aswell, if you're partnered you might want to try unchecking that option if you see OBS is capping your bitrate at around that number
np, just make sure you keep it under 8k since thats the most twitch will allow for partners
hello, i dont see a transition for custom transitions. only shows me cut & fade. I just downloaded OBS now please let me know how I can get the custom transition on my pc

Hi, I'm not sure if this fits here but, I need help on my follower alerts going through to stream elements. I have asked about it and there are quick fix but it doesn't work for me.
So, I started to use stream elements after making my set up from using twitch studios. It all worked fine until I think until i deleted twitch studios. Now the follower alerts don't work but raid and hosting alerts works. I don't want to have to reinstall twitch studios for it to work.
Any help would be appreciated.

Not really. It just happens.
okay thank you for the help! :3
Hello! I have been setting up my streamelements stuff and for some reason when i transferred everything over from streamlabs it tripled my donation numbers that are recorded? I'm confused how to reset it to where it should be.
@echo halo 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.
601c5f647d6226d35ee0c6c6
give us a sec and we will reset this for you
Thank you so much!
I only see two tips, are those the ones you need to reset?
yes, so the tips were only 20 and 10 and they are showing as 60 and 30 on my donation bar as well as my scrolling alert
you mean for your donation goal right?
yes
you can manually update that number on your goal settings
Regarding the ticker, how many times did you use the import tool? I'm guessing three?
uhh I thought I only imported once, but i might have accidentally done it 3 times
Dashboard > Activity feed on the left > Widget data on the right > Goals tab
and then you can manually enter 30
both donations were correctly imported so its just the goal amount that needs a manual update
ah! I found it. thank you. and I think Nethyr is on to something, I think i imported twice, thinking i did it wrong, and then a third time.
how do i link my obs live to my youtube so i can stream and see my notifications?
@cerulean flicker StreamElements menu, on top of OBS > Logout > Login
thanks!
I've submitted a bug report to our devs to investigate the issue. I'd recommend setting the widget to "monthly" instead of "all-time" for now.
can someone help me i tried every tutorial but my obs screen share is black

So I'm not sure what the problem is, but when I stream using OBS, it doesn't give me the proper stream duration or viewers. It usually just stays on 6 seconds.
Is there a solution? Or do I need to give more info?
Do you have a screenshot?
No. I can get one next time I stream though
ok this is probably spelled out somewhere and my GoogleFu is broken, but in OBS.Live, how can I edit the stream description before going live? I'm only seeing how to update the stream title and game.
I could suggest logging in and out just to refresh OBS as well, sometimes that clears the hangup
There should be a "stream information" option in your 'view' tab
Specifically in the Docks tab
Wait that doesnt help with description
Sorry I'm not sure haha
If you're logged in with your Twitch account in Settings>Stream, you should see a Stream Information dock available in View>Docks. You can instead also use the menu in the top left of the activity feed.
Let me try logging in with Twitch, I was logged in with FB
Still only seeing stream title and game:
Oh, pardon me, I misread. There is no "description" on Twitch. For Facebook, I believe you need to edit it in Facebook, not in OBS.
StreamElements does not have multistreaming support.
If only I was a better programmer, I'll stick to my healthcare c# lol
Thanks for the info 🙂
Can someone tell me the difference between OWN3D as an extension on OBS and Streamelements? Do they perform the same function?
ok... thanks
We don't have any affiliation with Own3d. They make custom overlays and widgets.
so i have tried everything and it fails to start streaming every time, it says to make sure ive configured a valid streaming service and no firewall is blocking, is there a good fix?

I have a recent issue with regards to output scaled resolution. This happen when I download the OBS thru streamelements download page.
My output cannot go higher 720p, before I can go 1080p even further 1440p. Need help.
Should I redownload the OBS from the official page and not thru streamelement download page?
I have found my work around. I use 26.0.2 and then after that I update to 26.1.1 then it works.
Hey guys. Having issues renaming the StreamElements botname on my twitch channel. Tried making an account with the desired bot name, connected it through the OBS Live setup, but it doesnt give me the chance to use "Send test message". Same if I put my original account as the botname - nothing happens. What am I doing wrong? 🙂
(When I press the "Approve" or "Save" after connecting the alternate account, it just closes down the window and nothing happens. Still can't pick the new account or send a testmessage)
you can type in the field.
just manually enter 1920x1080
or whatever resolution you want.

having a weird bug with the activity feed being like off by a cm right and down so the bottom of its all unseeable including current viewers and such
all that black is in obs
@mortal compass https://www.obs.live/ button at the bottom.
nothin i guess?
My obslive, as well as regular obs won't capture most of my games from the xbox pc app. It will capture some games so it's not an issue with that but it just seems like most of them won't capture. I've tried capturing with game capture as well as with window capture and neither work. When i use game capture it acts like it's stuck in a refresh loop.
I think this is an infamous xbox pc app issue
only workaround would be desktop capture imo
the same way Netflix app is "protected" from streaming from Discord afaik
I've done all the capture options and nothing works. I was thinking it had to do with which drive the game was saved to cause other games have zero issues being captured with game capture.
Storage location doesn't affect capturing ability
tl-dr: OBS "hooks" into a program/game to grab a video stream.
If that hook fails > black screen.
yeah.
Desktop capture will 99.99% work
Personally i have my fallback capture setup that way in a gamecapture scene:
Game Capture (any, fullscreen) > Window (set it manually, only one window capture, nothing more) > Desktop.
But, because of the hassle of option two, i'm now just doing either Game or Desktop.
I used display capture and it decided to work. I sware i've tried that a million times but now it's working. Thank you so much. this has been frustrating me for a month almost now.
Desktop should technically always work if you have a screen that's showing 👍
Just make sure to not show any personal or private stuff on said screen
because well, desktop capture 😄
yeah lol. Thats the only issue. I just won't stream certain games I guess cause it's capturing now but it covers everything even though it 's almost last on the list...
Elite Dangerous main Game is not available in the OBS.LIVE stream information edit menu, is there a reason for this or is it an oversight
Should be available, this is synced with the Twitch/YT game library.
how do i transition from starting soon to the gameplay
Set up multiple scenes and switch between them
thank you
can someone tell me why i am having multiple alert sounds come through when an alert happens/
Multiple alertboxes active?
no i just have one on each scene. i have 3 alert sounds coming through
So are they active in the other scenes? Set your browser sources to "shut down when not visible"
okay let me try that
that did not work. i got 4 audios now
i have an alert sound coming through thats not even saved on my streamelements any more
Try to refresh the cache for each browser source
button is in the browser source properties
that will hard refresh them with new settings
that did not work. that added an extra sound
It can't add extra sounds. Please give me your account ID from here: https://streamelements.com/dashboard/account/channels
I take a look at the overlays.
the royal red one
i see the Royal Red ones being the fresh ones
Those are correct, one alertbox per scene
Then you have multiple browser sources in your scene and other scenes sending you alerts
do you actually have multiple overlays in one scene?
All of them should be set to "shut down when not visible"
that fixed it thank you
I have a stream element account for twitch and one for you-tube. I want to merge but cant merge the two because it says i have two accounts, how can i go about merging these 2 accounts? Any help would be appreciated.
@slim saddle 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. We can merge accounts together if you like - please DM me (it needs sensitive information).
hey guys, ive just closed my streamelements chat tab, pressed alt f4, but now i cant get him to appear again
Hey
I am thinking of using Linux on my dedicated streaming pc. OBS Studio supports Linux, what about OBS Live? I can't find anything about which platform it supports.
View-Docks->Chat or StreamElements menu, on top of OBS > Chat
There is no OBS.Live plugin for linux
i`ve checked that, keeps appearing like that little square
when i uncheck, the square disappear
Hmm
Go to OBS settings->stream disconnect account and connect again
And also try this:
StreamElements menu, on top of OBS > Logout > Login
this one did it
tyvm
i mean, technically there's few options
but i wouldn't want to run this in Wine either.
and there is obs linux.
OBS (Open Broadcaster Software) is free and open source software for video recording and live streaming. Stream to Twitch, YouTube and many other providers or record your own videos with high quality H264 / AAC encoding.
i need help getting my facebook gaming activity feed and chat widgets to show in obs live instead of twitch widget
👍
seems streamlabs chat widge broke when i changed twitch username
i disconnected and reconnected twitch login after changing name, but just sits at "connecting to chat"
the regular obs chat widget still works tho
that is so weird, why don't you guys use a public repo?
I believe there is the fork of ours but as far as why is outside my paygrade.
And by fork I mean that of the OBS browser source.
Hi! How can I make the mediarequest widget visible without putting what I want to show in stream? I have problems with that because the music is muted until I pause or start it again
the music or if I advance to the following: /
The problem is that with the backup list it happens to me, I tried putting others and at times it stays silent
When i hit live on OBS it shows im live but it is NOT showing on twitch. it has nothing to do with a stream key cuz it works sometimes but i dont know why it takes soooo long to show im live
please help asap i was supposed to start an hour ago 😂
are you getting any dropped frames by any chance?
nope everything is perfect on my end
its weird because it has been doing it only this week
all before it would start instantly
make sure you don't have bandwidth test mode enabled
have you tried any other servers?
nono, I meant twitch servers
oh no its just on auto
have you tried to reconnect your account to obs?
i just did that rn ima see if it does anything one sec
took 5mins 30sec... shorter than usual but it worked i guess!
THANKS
❤️
nice, have fun!
@rugged quail Obs.live is a plugin for OBS Studio for the best OBS support, please join their Official Discord @ discord.gg/obsproject
This is a OBS.Live issue
I opened OBS.Live and the error comes up
but when I open OBS Studio
It doesnt
you are opening obs with both. 1 merely has obs.live added on.
I understand that, but why is it only happening with OBS.Live
and not with studio
What does it say in the top left of the window? OBS Studio or OBS.Live?
thats the thing, I can't even open OBS.Live to find out
when I open OBS Studio
It says OBS 26.0.2
Hello , i was trying t move over streamlabs overlays and eveything to steamelements and nothing moved over?
hey i have everything set up because i wanted to transfer everything from streamlabs to streamelements and as soon as i load up my overlay it is all black
did you try again?
Hello everyone, I have a question about the overlay social media text. I am trying to edit the text for Discord from STREAMELEMENTS to my name, but STREAMELEMENTS stays in it. How can I fix it?
did you use the import feature?
yeah
@sleek zealot 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.
wait i just loaded it up again but it works now
ahh, maybe it wasn't finished importing
Yes that’s what I had thought, but I can’t find the virtual camera button that was in studio on live
Unless I’m looking in the wrong place.
any chance you uninstalled it by mistake?
Which one?
the virtual cam plugin
it comes with regular OBS Studio
but there's a .bat file that you can use to uninstall it
So I have OBS studio and I see it there but when I open OBS.Live I don’t see the option.
maybe you added the OBS.Live plugin to an old version of OBS
@keen musk could you do me a favor real quick?
Could you click file in the top left menu and open settings folder for both copies of OBS?
Wanna see something.
@ocean rivet yo is still choppy
ohh, then I'm out of ideas 
rip
Both take me here
Yeah haha
But OBS.Live version says 26.0.2?
Yep!
However OBS Studio is 26.1.2
Hold on im gonna do some digging
Ah i figured it out
26.1 brought virtual cam support for Mac and Linux.
While windows had it at 26.0
I don’t know. Is the plug-in not yet supported for 26.1?
It should be. 1 sec.
@keen musk click scene collections and profiles. Choose export for anything you have there.
Wanna back this stuff up before sciencing something.
All right done!
And you've got folders along with json files?
Was this in obs.live copy or vanilla?
Oh this was in live.
Look in vanilla copy
Hey guys, where can I see the Loyalty Requests Queue of my viewers on OBS/StreamElements?
this is what it looks like on twitch... Is it possible to see these on OBS aswell?
Twitch loyalty system is something of its own, no current way of seeing anything about that on SE
you could dock the page to OBS.Live tho
You can but as I don't know the direct link for it I can't say.
