I'll try to find out how to do it (:
I'll be back if I run into problems lol... Thanks!!
Aiiiii, I'm running into this problem now 😩
you have to be logged in on your obs client first
I think I am... Everything else related to SE, is connected... Activity feed/chat
try with this link: https://www.twitch.tv/popout/sk1ll/reward-queue (replace sk1ll with your own channel name)
yep, that's what I did... same issue
is it your own channel?
yep haha
my active feed is frozen it doesn't show any of my new subs and donations
weird, try relogging

damn.. same problem.. Access Denied... I've found a workaround - using Twitch Activity Feed, and filtering to only see the Reward Requests
thats weird, I tried and it works on my end but glad that you found a workaround!
ohhh you were right... I was logged in on SE side, but on OBS side I wasn't logged in to twitch... I just added a dock of twitch, logged in, and it solved the problem 🙂 THANKS
I am appalled. As a gamer and a computer scientist. Mostly computer scientist. Gamers are hysterical these days...
😄
heyy so i have no clue of how to use the obslive app, i can't get anything i add to show and it's too confusing, the only thing that got added was my kappamon lol

@white lagoon 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
but your question is ambiguous, I would love to help, but it seems like you skipped the introductory tutorials...
maybe someone else has a better answer for you 😉
You'd be surprised how many people come in here
"how do I use OBS"
while not that exact question
There's 90% very basic functionality that gets asked, over and over
and that bot response, tells you how to add the overlay to OBS
and OBS.live, is nothing but OBS Studio - but with SE integration. It doesnt alter OBS in it's core functionality - the way that SLOBS for example, is just a fully forked sideways project as of this time.
I'm having a heck of a hard time getting the overlay to show up. I followed the youtube video instructions; and it is never showing up. Thoughts?
@ebon crest Please provide a proper screenshot with the issue visible. If not sure how to take a screenshot, you can check here: https://www.take-a-screenshot.org
screenshot with OBS showing.
That is with one of the stock overlay super themes; but I also tried with several other types of stock overlay themes
No worry if you couldn’t figure it out. I’ll live!
Try this
@ebon crest OBS > Settings > Advanced > Scroll down > Enable or disable Browser Source Hardware Acceleration, depending on its current state > Restart OBS

@cyan reef 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.

Youve still got 3 issues on there that need fixed.
Killer NIC, Not Admin, and your x264 preset.
i dont recorde dose h264 still effect it
i cant spell:(
so the x264 i out it lower because i use softwear to encode and it said lower = better
when i was streaming it used 10% of my cpu
and games use 40 or so
https://obsproject.com/logs/PrXkBz1cuVXZ4w9b @wise silo
i dont touch my drivers or pc will do bad things
last time i did a graphics driver it broke my pc and i had to get a new 2080 super put in

seems to be a big problemoi with ppls
is it giving you an error or something?
Hello so I've been using OBSlive Streamelements for a while and I use Twitch. A month ago I wanted to test out streaming on youtube and I set up my settings to do so and it worked. Now when I try to stream on twitch with OBSlive this window to stream on youtube pops up and I don't know why. If I hit start streaming on this window it will stream on twitch, though now my activity feed window doesn't work or show the amount of viewers I have.
I have some screenshots as well:
Any help would be appreciated on why this is
You will need to create a new scene collection with your Twitch overlays and such
no it just pops up as a dark purple box with nothinhg in it, except the minimize, exit, and reload circle
I tried making a new scene but it still has this youtube window pop up when I click start streaming
@mint badge Please logout of StreamElements at https://streamelements.com/logout and then login again to your account (Twitch/YouTube/Facebook).
It still has the youtube window pop up
are you sure you have twitch connected on your obs settings?
Yes I linked my account and tried inputting my stream key
For Twitch
posted the log a bit ago, any thoughts?
how do i log into Facebook on StreamElements ?
logged in on twitch from obs settings AND streamelements menu? sorry for insisting but it doesn't make sense that you keep getting that popup if you're not connected to youtube
@elder yarrow Please logout of StreamElements at https://streamelements.com/logout and then login again to your account (Twitch/YouTube/Facebook).
Yes honestly at this point I'm just going to uninstall everything and try a clean install
@elder yarrow StreamElements menu on OBS
yeah, that should definitely work
OMG thank you.
I cannot see chat or anything on StreamElements like i used to and the only option is Twitch but i dont stream to twitch
Is any of you trust worthy enough to use my team viwer ?
Viewer ?
I need Help
don't do that, try to learn from youtube guides instead
did you log into your OBS.Live with your facebook account?
Yes it asked me as my personal account i said yes then as my stream facebook creator page i clicked on the main one i use because i have 2 but im like right now just cannot see my chat bad timing but usually when i go live it doesnt matter my chat shows up.
It shows me my followers and activity log on the website just not the actual downloaded software
I downloaded it again we will see how this goes, if anything i cant find help or anything ill just find another software to use for facebook gaming.
Luckily i scared all my viewers away trying to figure this shit out.
I see that your session expired on OBS, try to dock out the activity feed and expand it to log in with facebook again
I tried bro, thats exactly what i thought about but it wont scroll down farther than what its at.
i had that activity log covering both screens to see more options.
and can you relog via the StreamElements menu?
THANK YOU SO MUCH BRO I GOT IT!!!! YOU GOT IT!!!
hi i've been stream for close to 7 months a never had this issue till about a weekago. Now its contently saying encoder overloaded and i drop FPS none stop and my stream is freezing and lagging and i'm panicing.
Ok another question where do I find the Stream Information window? I want that so I can easily update my stream info
any settings or hardware changes before the issue started?
View > Docks (in obs)
@karmic grotto none
its get encoder overloaded even with nothing opened just in time stream started? @hybrid pilot
@karmic grotto sometimes..the overloaded message comes and goes but its never gone for long and i have lowered all my settings trying to fix it
what settings did u tried lowering?
Trying to help a friend get OBS.Live installed on a Mac and the download page only downloads the Windows EXE file. The announcement page said it would detect the OS, but it's not working for me, tried it on multiple Macs. How can I get the Mac version downloaded?
my bit rate, my frame rate, i'm down to 780 istead of 1080, even tried faster encoding
what encoder did u use?
my amd and i tried software as well on fastest
@hybrid pilot 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.
The option does not show up
You must be logged in in Settings>Stream for it to appear.
the link would just be to me testing things a billion times
no it just pops up as a dark purple box with nothinhg in it, except the minimize, exit, and reload circle
@hybrid pilot 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+.
okay
https://streamelements.helprace.com/i997-obs-live-support-for-mac/4 Last post on this page says the page will detect the OS, but it's not. Is there a link I can use to download manually?

I have put in custom gifs and sounds for some of the alerts, however they still use the default animation and sound that SE start you with. the subscriber and cheer alerts do this to be specific
Edit the variations, not just the main alerts.
ooohh, i have smooth brain, ty
ive edited the variations, the cheer now works but the subscriber one still doesnt
Hey guys quick question - I’ve imported all my scenes from SLOBS, is it possible to convert them to a browser source, or do I need to rebuild completely on the overlay editor? Thanks!!
If you've used the OBS.Live importer, the SLOBS scenes should already be overlays in "My Overlays"
and then you just add the overlays to OBS
Unfortunately the import tool kept freezing after multiple tries, so I just did the obs manual import and they are just physical scenes so they aren’t on the my overlays...still using a lot less CPU than slobs, but I’d like to go the full distance with browser sources instead!
Its most likely freezing due to:
- local file that you have is above 30mb
- copyrighted assets to SL
Hmm interesting that would make sense I do have some big video files on those scenes, but no SL assets! Appreciate the insight very much!!
Hi, which is better x264 or nvenc?
@tardy fog 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
when i stream and use x264 my game is so blurry and low fps. But when i use nvenc my game is working good but my stream not
thats my problem
@tardy fog Obs.live is a plugin for OBS Studio for the best OBS support, please join their Official Discord @ discord.gg/obsproject
my guess poopoo x264 setup vs Nvenc.
Tl-dr: Nvenc has less overhead, X264 needs more raw power 🤷
x264 is still superior over NVenc, but ⬆️
my active feed is frozen it doesn't show any of my new subs and donations
@signal glade StreamElements menu, on top of OBS > Logout > Login
that didn't work
Are you on Youtube?
yes
Due to changes by Youtube there can be a delay up to 4 hours with subscriber notifications. This is the new intended way for receiving events from Youtube by their design.
ok
You are also using SL's tipping link, so we won't be showing tips from that link

I've just imported my alert box from streamlabs to streamelements however when testing the alert box it appears scuffed and in the top right corner despite being put to 1920x1080 on both obs and streamelements editor
any advice? please and thank you
You still need to someone adjust the overlay, as it seems to have its setting set to 1920x1080, but its actually 800x700 or something similar
3 dots -> properties
adjust size, edit into the overlay and adjust the widget position as well
@shy mountain ugh bless your soul thanks!
Does anyone know where the qr code is on 26.1.1?
@scarlet brook We don't have a qr code for our stuff 0.o
Im trying to connect to streamlab deck on my phone but it wont let me connect manually
so the audio on the subscriber alert now works but the image still doesnt. anyone have a solution for this?
Hey, broadcast chat is unavailable in obs, how to reapir? "Error loading data.."

hello! quick thing to ask! how do I copy an overlay from a channel to another one
found it nvm lol
hey, i got some problems setting up my overlays, can someone help me ?
@mint furnace To add your overlays to OBS, add a new browser source in your scene. Paste your overlay URL in the browser source properties, set the dimensions to 1920x1080 (unless you changed them on the website) and check Shutdown source when not visible. https://youtu.be/KDvLynUqXI4
hey guys is there vertical alignment for text in streamelements?
if so how do i do it
I have been working for the past 4 hours I restarted my pc and all the overlays are gone
ughhh
if you saved them in the dashboard overlay on the website
they';re there.
Just obs done goofed.
Hey all, can someone explain me how I can make the bttv emotes shown on my chat from elements? there only is the name of the emotes as text
hi guys, i just installed obs live and started to use streamlabs. while getting everything set up i noticed that the output chat is shown black instead of white now.... i want to change it back but i dont know how. can some one please help me with this? 😦
I am getting a sound delay of 2 to 3 seconds only on Display Capture. Started yesterday, any way to fix?
hi guys, maybe one of you can help me out. When i'm triggeirng my custommade alerts, it seems they freeze after 1 second and 'unfreeze' 1 second prior the end of the animation. In the overlays section fo streamelements it all looks fine, but when the overlay is in OBS.live, it has the freezing issue 😥
checked your soundcard settings? perhaps use ASIO if you aren't yet.
how do I get to that, and it worked fine until 2 days ago. This hasn't been reported much so I guess only an issue on my end?
check your soundcard configurations just to be sure
The thing is the Game Capture works fine, only Display Capture has a 2-3 second delay
hm
Is this all i should do? am i ready to stream?
so it must be an OBS issue? I am not running post processing on either
i still did not use obs to stream so it will be my first time
insert your streamkey and hit start streaming
doesn't need to, could you your system, that's why i propose to check your soundcard configurations
stream key?
otherwise you can always (off)sync your audio
u mean sign in?
in the advanced audio settings of OBS
where do I find this setting since I'm not good with this stuff
check preferences > stream
in the configurations of windows/ac
mac*
how to enter there or find it?
i am in window

Hey there. Configuring the Widget “Social Media Rotator” I tried to change the upload icon for one of the socials using the icon website provided. I uploaded the new icon and saved it but it does not change on the actual widget in OBS. It’s changed and saved on streamelements though
Nvm I figured it out .... I got problems haha all fixed ty anyway
Here's my issue in terms of the alert freeze. Works fine in streamelements overlay, but in OBS.live it freezes after a second and unfreezes a second prior the end of the animation. Animation's are 'normal quality'. 500kb-1mb max. This happens on other devices, so I guess it's a thing between streamelements and OBS(.live).
@ionic peak you dont need a stream key, thats old school stuff. nowadays u will simply link ur YT, Twitch or what ever acc with OBS and you are good to go
Oh k
could u do it?
can u show me a image or something where to find this "ASIO"
Hey guys. I cant login to SE in Obs live. I enter my login and it shows that I must login again. Nothing works rn. The chat is also not working.

im sorry but that just didnt help
go to the "source" box near the bottom left. click the plus, and select "browser". Pick a name so you can identify it later, and then paste the link for the overlay in the provided area.
Hey everyone! For the past 5ish days, i've been having an issue with obs. live. My bitrate randomly goes to 0 and then to start the stream back up I have to exit out of obs to hit go live again. This happened 3 times in the span of one hour for me today. Anyone know what is up or have any solutions?
Please send a log of a stream that contained this issue
@lament ibex 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.
That is not a log of a stream.
Really? This was when I streamed.
https://obsproject.com/wiki/Dropped-Frames-and-General-Connection-Issues heres a pretty general guide that might help. Without a log that the issue has happened on not much more I can do to help.
This guide contains every piece of dropped frames / disconnect / network related advice we can give. If you really truly honestly super duper actually 100% tried everything in…
I appreciate that.
Hi hi! I'm having trouble with alerts not coming through from Tiltify. I have it integrated, the overlay is live, but there are no on screen alerts. I don't suppose anyone knows where I can find troubleshooting information or how to troubleshoot this. (I moved this from the Twitch help desk because I figured I had it in the wrong spot.)
@coral sierra Please ask your question in one helpdesk channel only. A support volunteer or StreamElements staff member will assist you as soon as they are available. Asking in multiple places will only result in confusion, not faster answers. Thank you for your patience.
I'm sorry. I did delete it in the other channel when I realized that I made a mistake.
It wasn't a mistake.
I'd check your OBS sources and make sure the audio is coming through properly. There should be some audio source that the game is playing through
Oh. I'm really sorry for the confusion. It sounds like the bot will be unhappy if I move it again.
finally, ok thx
my bot is tstill not working
Anyone know if I should use the H264/AVC Encoder (AMD Advanced Media Framework) or the x264 Encoder?
These are my specs:
CPU : AMD Ryzen 5 3600 6 core 12 thread; GPU: MSI Gaming Radeon Rx 5700 Boost Clock: 1750 MHz 256-bit 8GB (RX 5700 Evoke OC)
x264 will provide much better quality, AMD encoders are still far behind NVENC
you can do some local recordings with both encoders and compare them though
how do i stream to youtube? facebook keeps popping up and i dont see a youtube/youtube game selection
i have a youtube RTMP and RTMPS
@jovial edge StreamElements menu, on top of OBS > Logout > Login
sweet. thank you!
can someone help with my bot its not working again
Something specific not working?
@orchid onyx 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
Are you able to get all chats like from YouTube Facebook and twitch all in the chat box when you go live or is it only one at the time
One at a time. StreamElements does not have multistreaming support.
Got it thanks
can someone help me debug my bot? my custom bot isn't working. i've tried connecting it and it won't change the custom bot connection after signing the bot in through twitch. It also won't allow me to send a test message because it won't connect after the last step.
@cinder flower "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."
Am i able to use obs to make me louder in discord? Because my mic is kinda quiet and i want people to be able to hear me
I need some help with my OBS please. Tonight while streaming, I got the notice "Welcome to Chat" in my panel. I had been streaming for a few hours already and then my custom bot disconnected. I went into Stream Elements and "parted" the bot and reconnected and it didn't reconnect the custom bot. I had to revert back to Stream Elements bot. I don't want to stop my stream to restart the program. Any ideas what I can do to keep this from happening?
@slow valve if you open the text properties and scroll down you can check the vertical alignment of your text
ive been having issues on uploading sounds via streamelements overlay editor for my alertbox. all audio files were under 100kb and tried using both mp3 and wav. i can upload sounds on the website tho
are you getting any errors when you try?
yeah, it just starts the upload but immediately fails
no specific error message
ran obs as admin as well and still same error
Are you using chrome? Also, you mentioned you can upload sounds on the website, but not the editor. The editor is part of the website, so i'm not sure what you mean there
my workaround was using the streamelements store and uploading sounds that way, editor as in opening the overlay editor from inside of OBS
I'd suggest you do the overlay editing in a web browser (chrome) for the best results. The editor is know to not be functional in other browser forms.
Today all of my overlays and sound alerts were completely functioning, but they are not playing anymore. I can physically see the sound bars in the mixer light up, but I don't hear anything (using audio monitoring) or even in the desktop audio. My audience also didn't hear any sound alerts or overlay sounds during the stream (they did hear the game and music though)
@hexed canopy check your audio devices on OBS (settigns > Audio)
I did. The Desktop Audio is default, and the Monitoring device is my headset.
See here:
Hi there! Could i get some help from someone about obslive?
@cunning sable Welcome to the helpdesk! Please let us know how we can assist you today and a support volunteer or staff member will assist you as soon as they are available. Thank you for your patience.
When i first launched stream elements obs live it let me see all this fancy stuff like the chat
when i boot it up now i only see what looks like normal obs
and id like to be able to see the chat and stuff
you are able to hear the alert or any sound on the overlay when you open it on your browser?
StreamElements menu at top of OBS.
When I use my browser, I can hear the alerts normally. I can also see the Overlay in the OBS Audio Mixer move.
That means your overlays are playing through a different device than you're listening through. Check your OBS audio settings, and whether or not you've checked "control audio via OBS" in the browser source properties.
They are all checked.
where do i click after hitting stream elements menu at top?
I re-installed stream elements obs, and it appears to have fixed itself.
i tried re-installing it and it didnt fix it
also when i hit bots and tipping set up it gets stuck
@cunning sable StreamElements menu, on top of OBS > Logout > Login
thank you!
can anyone tell me why it shows these random users in my chat in obs live but they aren't actually in my twitch chat on twitch.tv? are they fake? what's going on - been happening quit ea bit lately - thanks
What random users?
i'm not sure they just show up in my chat every night it seems but if i go to the actual twitch page they are not in the chat
like they show in obs live in obs studio in the users section of the chat
but when i go to my actual twitch link via browser shows only 1 maybe 2 viewers
yet there's like 12 people in my chat on obs live
none of them ever say a thing
Probably seeing the harmless chat bots
Hi I enter your software on the right I have the chat and it is written to me that I am trying to connect Your browser or application may not be secure.
Can you help me with that?
Thanks
@haughty beacon StreamElements menu, on top of OBS > Logout > Login
Hi
It still tells me it's not secure
Chat bots? @shy mountain they weren't there before
no
How do I get rid of them?
You can't really. They are harmless to begin with, but always present
They are just a false sense of people being there when they aren't I don't like that
They were never there until couple nights ago though that's what I'm saying
the viewer list has never been a good way to see how many viewers someone has
especially for affiliates
its riddled with chat bots that just don't do anything to benefit anyone
So how is the best way to tell
there was a site that listed those chat bots, but i can't remember which one it was
hi, i am running windows 10 on MAC through bootcamp . OBS isn't picking up any of the audio (spotify) through my headset
but electricalskateboard or something like that is one of them

I would recommend to update your OBS Studio version
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.
and then install OBS.Live
ok
@hoary glacier 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 have some special commands ie instagram
you guys thank you so much thats fixed my problem ❤️

Hello! I've been using StreamelementsOBS for more than a year now and recently been having issues with OBS not responding (super slow) after copy pasting the URL from overlays and adding it to the scenes. Even if I had 1 overlay with lets say rotating events once I start up the stream frames drop immensely. But if i delete the single overlay everything is back to 60fps and running fine. Any idea what I can do?
This is my specs:
CPU: Intel® Core™ i9-10900k Processor
GPU: ASUS ROG Strix GeForce® GTX 1080
Motherboard: ASUS TUF GAMING Z490-PLUS (WI-FI)
Ram: Trident Z RGB - G.SKILL 16gb 3800MHz

Ok I will try this and test stream thanks!
Hi! I am making a widget to have a sub bar, when i make this for some reason in tthe bar it shows I have 44 subscribers when the actual number is 16. How do I fix this? Thank you!
@obtuse edge To reset goals:
- from the Overlay Editor > Session data on top right (monitor symbol) > Goals tab > reset progress of desired goal
- from the Dashboard > Activity feed on the left > Widget data on the right > Goals tab -> reset progress of desired goal
Note: Goal widgets (progress) only counts up and doesn't go down automatically, if you lose followers/subs.
Thank you.
I have a source for all my alerts and goals, when i try to copy and paste (I only get paste as reference option) it into another scene, nothing shows. Any advice?
Yeah, nothing is showing up when I do so.
Run an alert
I did
@obtuse edge sorry, was AFK due to lunch break.
Do you see the alert on the original souce?
no problem, i completely understand! Yeah I do
Try and delete the source entirely and re-add it
the original or the pasted one?
and then right click it and copy -> right click into the other scene's source window paste as reference
all of them
okay will try
Anyone know of a small program I can set to always run when windows starts that will play the sounds of my Streamelements alerts?
Worried if I just use a browser window I'll forget to run it and miss alerts or something
Assuming you've got audio monitoring set properly it'll output to both stream and your headset so you shouldn't miss it.
I use two PCs, I was using an AUX cable to carry my alert audio from my stream PC to my gaming PC but I'd rather not do that if possible
I'd just like something that doesn't use too many system resources and will load up whenever I turn the gaming PC on
In that case you'd need to have an overlay with the alertbox open in browser. Because it'd get caught along with whatever is capturing the game sound you'd have to use some 3rd party program to reroute to your headphones only. That's something you could ask in the OBS server.
Specifically Tech-Talk.
Hello sorry if this is in the wrong place, my connections insist on disconnecting anytime I open obs studio, WiFi is fine, ethernet just disconnects all the time as soon as I open it
aux cable is the least amount of resources because that's just i/o. no program. nothing special. just a signal.
but you could always run something to start as a service.
🤷
Sorry about sounding blunt, but Google
issue doesn't seem related to our tools and/or obs.live
Google just gave me the “can I run two different hz monitors” and this channel doesn’t have a “general question” or “tech” channel and you are all way smarter than me haha so I figured I’d shoot my shot
#general-chat can be used for general tech questions
hey, been looking into starting to stream on Twitch.. been all over the board with the different stream applications, starting with OBS, then Streamlabs and now Streamelements/OBS, since I already made my entire overlay with a couple scenes in Streamlabs, how would I go about importing my already finished scenes in Streamelements/OBS?
but your answer is yes
you can.
Our OBS.Live has the import function in the top menu - Streamelements
Try that, this will allow you to import most of the settings and overlays.
right.. the reason I'm asking is because it looks like the file format for importing scenes are different than what Streamlabs spits out
The import tool will import most of the things
Just big files are an issue, over 30MB
well, I understand what you're getting at, but as said, it looks like Streamlabs exports .overlay files, while OBS.Live only imports .json, .bpres, .xml and .xconfig files.. so there's no way for me to import the scenes I already created and I'd have to start over remaking those scenes?
OBS.Live doesn't export anything.
OBS on the other hand does.
Go to scene collections in the menu and select one then do export. You wanna do thatfor all of them.
I meant OBS, and I'm talking about importing 🙂
Same thing.
OBS.Live will grab the existing scenes from Streamlabs OBS and from Streamlabs service itself.
So you do not need to remake it, you just import the existing ones.
For the normal OBS Studio - exports there are compatible with OBS.Live.
i'm currently looking at the scene collection importer, but nothing is able to be added, as Streamlabs only exports a file format that OBS can't read, so I'm pretty screwed then?
Slightly incorrect.
Partly distracted fixing some dark o'clock chili so might be a couple minutes before explaining.
tyt
The importer from OBS in scene collections is to do it for ones OBS personally exported. To grab stuff from SLOBS there's an option in OBS settings that can grab all of that and add it Rk OBS. OBS.Live does the same thing as well basically but is more geared towards the alertbox itself than it is scenes and sources.
Alright, where would I find this specific setting?
OBS.Live - top menu, StreamElements > Import from other Services
does the streamelements overlays work with stream labs obs?
It can, but we do not provide support for Streamlabs anything, so not guaranteed.
because i cant get it to work it works fine on stream elements when testing the notifications but streaming streamlabs obs doesnt work
so i have to redo all of it in streamlabs then?
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.
ok is there a way to import the scenes ive made into obslive?
@acoustic delta Here then use the import option from Scene Collections option https://streamlabs-is-a.totallysuspicious.website/8T7MFaC.jpg
Well, I got that far using the import from other services, but the imported scenes are all broken in both placement and graphics.. Lemme screencap for you
It's not a 100% guarunteed to work proper but it does safe part of the hassle.
unable to connect twitch account on OBSLIVE
It looks like I might've done it improperly? This is the original scenes from SLOBS:

https://i.gyazo.com/b32675f6fb02ec664a7b2b5b2a3d47db.png
This is how it looks on OBS:
https://gyazo.com/a2ccbd6b1d2a484253ad0c7732aaadb2
https://gyazo.com/1f3bd620cbd2b1c3e57cf9f3f7df3ff2
Do Ctrl+F with the browser source selected.
I'm still missing over half my sources.. I might be able to fix it using the overlay editor
Regardless.. Everything is so broken I have to start over remaking the scenes. A shame but I'll live 🙂 Thanks for trying!
@rugged quail hello there, i had similar problems.
- delet OBS-live
- delete the scene package
- download the scene again
- DON'T download OBS.live
tell me if it worked
i have a thing about the Streamelements bot thing in OBS.live, when i use it on my own name it doesn't work and when i close it it's back to streamelements and not my name, what can i do with that?
@wide bane 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
that doesn't work for me, i tried it but worked for a second and then it goes back to streamelements instead of the custom bot name, that's the problem
Let's try that:
- Right click on your OBS desktop shortcut and open the Properties
- 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)
- Open OBS (or restart if it was open)
- Open your web browser and type in: localhost:40404
- Click on StreamElements - Activity feed
- Navigate to the Console tab
- Type the following into the console and hit enter: store.customBot.removeCustomBotIntegration()
- Try setting the custom bot name
- Remove the additional flag in step 2 from your shortcut properties.
This is a more advaned, "hard reset" type of fix
ooh ok, but does it work as well with "Change to YoshidaMares" as bot name instead of the custom one? or is that not fixed properly? @nova scaffold
Try the fix
Did you try the 3rd option from the first bit?
it is supposed to fix both custom settings, your channel and 2nd channel
Otherwise that should've fixed it entirely.
it didn't worked somehow after the fix
bump.
One more idea - go to the Twitch integrations and remove StreamElements from all channels that use the custom bot name
And then reconnect OBS.Live (relog) and set up custom bot name again
this will 100% fix it.
now i see that my name is talking in chat, but last time when i clicked save it was gone, so scared to click it

@sick spruce @worldly dune For both of you.
I got a fix for this without deleting obs since I have too much plugins and scenes.. When you open obs (always as admin) Just open it again! It shows that obs is already running, klick still open OBS! So you got two obs open now. Now close the first obs and the 2th obs will show everything like nothing happened. I tried to find out why this happens but no idea. Just found out how to fix it.
if you guys have any questions @ me :)
yo i'm on my laptop switching to desk top
@rugged quail that didnt work , i tried multiple times
for some reason obs live is so glitchy for me since ive made the switch. i used to use it all the time untill i started having these problems.
Hey there! I'm just about to do a charity stream and was wondering how i could either remove or customize my !donate command for the stream
Here: https://streamelements.com/dashboard/bot-commands/default-commands
Donate is an alias for !tip
Thanks!
Also, that's not a question for this helpdesk as it's not related to OBS.Live 😄
my bad haha
with mech alert do i put the command in a browser source ?
if you're talking about the overlay then yes, you add it as a browser source
ye this
yup, just copy the URL and add it as a new browser source 🙂
ok thank you 🙂
Thank you for this resource. I have a question about a sound file that I have locally for background sound while I talk. I use streamelements overlays and sound alerts for events [followers/bits/etc] and when those occur, I hear the sound. this SE overlay is Monitor Off. I like the fact that I can hear this. I figured out I can make my BG noise mp3 hearable by me if I use it as a browser source [pointing to the local mp3 file]. I knew that it was playing as a media source either way on recordings and stream but I couldn't hear it myself. However, I can ONLY hear this new "browser source" if "control audio via OBS" is OFF, and it's too loud. How can I work around this, to make it quieter?
my monitor output is configured to broadcast to zoom [virtual audio cables] and I'd have to switch several settings on/off to monitor the sounds I want to twitch, which is too much hassle in order to hear one sound.
I suggest you check virtual audio guides for obs, there are some great youtube videos about this that will help you solve this
how do i add face cam to my livestream

Hi there! My friend is hosting their first donation stream and for some reason when she types !donate in here chat, stream elements pops up twice
she has her own custom donate command but can't find a default donate command and isn't sure where to turn the auto response off since she already has her own custom message
tell her to edit the !tip command, it has donate as command alias
okay thank you!

hey, i'm trying to add some overlays to my twitch stream in OBS but i can't figure out how.
could someone assist?
im in the same boat
you can create overlays in the StreamElements website (https://streamelements.com/dashboard/overlays) and then add them to your OBS as a browser source
browser source? ok then...
ive installed my elgato today and now trying to turn on some overlays on my twitch channel but i cnat get it to work
the browser source inside the frame is larger then the frame
i cant resize it
ctrl + f
just copy the URL and paste it in the popup?
@bright jungle 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
hello im having trouble with my chat overlay i created. It workd fine on the website however when i use the browser source on stream it doesnt work.. Can someone help
now just to figure out how to get the chat thing to show up...
yep... I've been struggling for 2 days... all my other overlays work, alerts and such
whats wrong with it? it doesn't show up?
Correct. While im streming if someone types in chat it will not show on screen but the browser source works if you are looking at the website
now how do i get them to show on twitch tho?
if it's in OBS on top of the gameplay layer it should show
chat feed, that's what it's called, just need to... actually... no i don't...
yes
give it 100% opacity so you can make sure you see it in OBS
quick tutorial on how to get it on stream
its at 100% on the website. Idk if you need to do that in the obs.live software as well or how to do that
nah, just on the website
and your source for the chat overlay is on top of everything?
is voice and game audio automatically applied or do you have to set that in sources aswell?
How do i get alerts on my stream
@blazing oriole To add your overlays to OBS, add a new browser source in your scene. Paste your overlay URL in the browser source properties, set the dimensions to 1920x1080 (unless you changed them on the website) and check Shutdown source when not visible. https://youtu.be/KDvLynUqXI4
i saw someone have a shout out custom bot command that flashed on the screen with a sound alert. does anyone know how to do that?
you choose your desktop audio and microphone devices in obs audio settings
ah. so you don't need to add anything to the scene for that, good.
yup, those are global settings
How do I get the virtual camera option in controls?
make sure your OBS is up to date

Hi! I'm trying to make the switch from SLOBS to OBS.Live, and saw there's an overlay import. I've tried to do this a few times but its currently getting stuck on "Uploading media files (11 of 28)" and it hasn't budged. Do I just need to wait even longer or is this an issue that can be fixed?
Ah nevermind, I had to access it in the dropdown on the application as opposed to the import in the setup wizard. wish I knew that an hour ago. thanks.
feel free to reach out if you need any further assistance with the switch 😄
inside OBS on your text element
is this regarding csgo mentioned in the other channel?
Is there a way to have special soundds and images pop up when a donation is a specific amount witth tthe alert box?
yeah, you can add variations to your alert by clicking variation settings

Hello, I'm trying to set up a follower goal in my layout, and I want it to be "total followers" out of 500, which would be 224/500, but it's saying 28. I can't find where to edit, or even where it's getting 28 from. Any advice? Thanks!
(currently using the layout editor on Stream Elements)
Do you use the website to edit overlays?
yes
top right there will be a question mark, a monitor with cogs and a chain link button see them?
in the overlay you want to edit, (you must click edit on the overlay youre using it on)
@dreamy cave
click the monitor and cog wheel
then goals, then change it to 244 or whatever
awesome, thank you so much!
no problem 😄
Hey all, i dont know if this is the right place to ask, but want to ask how can i create a clip in streamelementslive program while streaming or where can i make a clip while streaming?
You make a clip directly from your channel?
There isn't a way via OBS to make a clip, unless with a bot command or something similar.
or something like this
The clipping? With the above setup you can do it during streaming
or users can also do it
ok thanks so much
Hello! Is there any way to use StreamElements Plug-in to original latest version OBS? I've been using 26.1.1 OBS but after installing OBS.Live the duplicate 26.0.2 OBS is also installed. I'm bit confused.
If OBS.Live installed with a fresh copy of OBS Studio, then it didn't manage to find your initial installation, meaning it was installed in a non-standard location
Example, if you've installed OBS Studio in your E drive instead of C, then the installer might not find it
Oh yes I changed the default directory. In that case, how can I solve the problem?
You can specify the installation location of OBS>Live as well
So should I uninstall OBS 26.0.2 and try to install OBS.Live again?
@hallow gulch Is this on Mac out of curiosity?
On Windows PC
I'm going to try! Thank you.
Edit: Thank you! OBS.Live has been successfully installed to the latest version OBS.

Hey so, at random times the obs.live gets REALLY laggy and eventually causes my entire computer to slow down until i restart obs. I know for a fact it's OBS because my games go from 20 fps to 144+ after reopening it. This seems to happen randomly. Is this a known issue?
My specs are;
3800x, RTX 3080, 32GB DDR4
Could it be because I have obs.live on a HDD?
As a personal recommendation, any software(program) that you use on a daily basis, should always be installed on an SSD if you have an SSD.
HDDs should only be used for storage at this point.
Alright, is there a way to save my scenes and stuff so that when I reinstall it comes back as-is? Also, in case that ISN'T the issue, if there are any other recommendations that would be cool. I use OBS for zoom calls too using the virtual camera, and it does the same thing, regardless of if i'm streaming/recording or not.
Im not even sure if its HDD/SSD related, but i do whole heartedly recommend switching it out.
That being said, for scenes -> scene collection on top -> export
just in case
same for profile -> export
Yeah, I have like 8tb of total capacity, i just put my programs on a HDD and i definitely have noticed a difference when i switched out my coding software to an SSD. Load times went from minutes to seconds
Oh boy it's doing it again
The thing is, it never crashes, it just seizes and my GPU usage sky rockets
that sounds like you have something loaded/added into OBS that is hogging all the resources to a point its not usable anymore
which makes your PC not usable
It only does it randomly though...
Like... I have a scene collection that is JUST my webcam for zoom. And sometimes it does it, sometimes it doesn't
sounds like a memory leak tbh, but doesn't explain the PC hogging
We'll see... reinstalling now. It's not a HUGE issue when using zoom because i can just restart it, but yeah when streaming it's a bit annoying
i have an issue where media request dosent show when i open obs live it just shows a black screen instead of the player do i just wait?
@ashen vine StreamElements menu, on top of OBS > Logout > Login
thanks it fixed it
I'm not getting alerts, but I was last week. Right now my test alerts work (OBS), but when streaming real events don't trigger the alerts. Help?

hello I'm having problems connecting into streamelements website (it wont load) and it seems to be affecting my OBS studio application as well (each scenes show the window captcha), I've tried deleting my website cookies and all but it still isn't working 😦
This is weird, as OBS.Live is using Chromium and has a separate browser.
Can you show me the issues in the console - networking tab in Chrome if you have it?
👀
Do you have any adblock/script blocker plugins active?
but wait, OBS has the issues too
Let me check that with colleagues
If you have a VPN or something else like a proxy - we can try that.
This looks like a connection issue with your provider, not sure what happened, so if we can bypass that - might be helpful
Also refreshing your DNS in the router/modem might be helpful
alright I will try restarting my router first and see if that makes any difference

#helpdesk-selive Hello, I'm a designer. I would like to export my overlays in an easy way for a quick installation of my clients. but the "Launch" button is no longer available in Stream Elements Overlay Manager, is there another way for me to export the overlay from the StreamElements website?
this is the button I'm talking about
that has been replaced by the link icon in the top right corner
but to really export your overlays to someones account they would need to invite you as an editor to their account and then you can copy everything over to their account.
"Follow these steps to grant managers/moderators access to your dashboard:
- Click on your channel name at the top of the dashboard
- Create a new invite at one of three access levels (Bot Supervisor, Editor, Full Control)
- Send this invite to a mod/manager to give them access to your dashboard. The link is one-time-use and expires after 72 hours if not accepted

i see that the Desktop audio was not working
and i dont now how to fiz
fix*
can you help me?
Is it set as default audio in the audio settings?
oh, thanks but i just came back to work, thanks
is there a way I can change the streamlelements chat to change that the text comes from above and not bottom?
My twitch chat will randomly not be able to hear the desktop audio even though my obs shows that they should . I've been fixing by disabling desktop audio 1 and enabling desktop audio 2 and then vise versa when it cuts out again. Looking for permanent fix 🙂 thanks
Hey guys so i was sent here from the OBS discord...
I Obs dropped the link with facebook for somereason.... it was working previously but now its not and when i try to go live it says "Oops something went wrong we can not creat a live video on the page
Not sure if this is the place to post it or not but it would be great if obslive had a "push to show" button so i dont have to double tap
Enable BTTV in your OBs.Live settings, then go into the BTTV settings
@old haven 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.
Best place to ask this would probably be #helpdesk-facebook
Only thing I know for you to try would be to
@covert turret StreamElements menu, on top of OBS > Logout > Login

Hey, currently having issues with Activity feed in OBS LIVE MAC. I get an error and nothing shows. Help?
Timeout waiting for command: menu-service-background-worker:events:report:loaded
@merry edge StreamElements menu, on top of OBS > Logout > Login
@full thunder Hey just did that, everytime i try to log into OBS.Live, Twitch successfully logs in but then i see a circle and then brings me back to the main page. over and over tried 3 times.
try logging out of obs live, then out of the dashboard online then log back into both.
@quick atlas Hey, just did that and doesnt work. Log out of Safari + Chrome and Logged out of OBS.Live and still doesnt work
can you share a screenshot of what obs does when you try to login?
what you mean? 
It logs in to twitch, shows a loading circle and brings me back to the log in screen for OBS live.
I dont have an issues logging into the websites and getting access
I already got the Addons enabled for both
was it working previously? it's possible that might be obs acting up, which i would recommend asking about in their official discord
Yup working perfectly the other day. Just randomly started not working especially since your bot recommended to log out and log in.
It seems like a SE issue not an OBS since its the overlay.
Have you tried uninstalling and re-installing obs live?
yes sir! I am currently running OBS.LIVE 26.0.2 (mac)
Can you record a short clip of the issue? We can talk with our devs and see if they can look into this
Respond to @merry edge , this is what we see while logging in. Its my computer having the issue.
Then brings us back here
We tried Youtube Twitch, etc and nothing worked @quick atlas
Can we get a screen of this error as well?
@quick atlas It was in the activity feed, but since i logged out i dont see the acitivity feed anymore or twitch chat.
@quick atlas DJDK was answering originally since i was having issues logging into discord but i am good now.
Do you know if there is a possible firewall/system update issue? This issue seems a bit unusual so we're just trying to gather what we can. Also, have you tried a complete uninstall of OBS itself?
@quick atlas Sorry for the back and forth, he is updating the next MacOS update. Might fix it. Nothing was changed since then and now.
No problem. And let's see what the update does, we might have to let the devs know
hey I'm having issues with the youtube media that is provided by stream elements on obs live mac. Whenever I play a video the audio comes out of my speakers and then it is picked up by my mic which is then heard by the stream. Is there a way to have the music play directly to the stream without having it being picked up by my mic?
@icy mesa How to separate Media Request (MR) audio in OBS:
(Please follow one of the steps for your set up)
MUTE MR FOR YOURSELF, STREAM CAN HEAR
- Make a new overlay in the editor, ONLY add the Media Request widget.
- Add a new browser source in OBS, add the URL and set the dimensions correctly.
- Tick the box for Control audio via OBS https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/712428275049431120/716618713998033047/unknown.png
- Go to Edit > Advanced Audio, set your MR overlay to Monitor Off. Note: This will play through the Desktop Audio, if you mute your desktop audio, it will mute the MR.
CONTROL AUDIO SEPARATELY FROM YOU AND STREAM
- For this you will need a VAC (use command
!vac). - Run your MR either in Chrome or in Ground Control (use command
!gc). Note: Do NOT click on SHOW ON STREAM. - Set Chrome or GC in the VAC as an audio input and output.
- Add the audio output from VAC as an audio input in OBS. Note: This will not be able to show the video in OBS.
It is currently not possible to separate audio for yourself and stream if you ALSO want to show the video in OBS.
The only way to do this would be to follow the last set of instructions above and then use Window Capture on GC or Chrome.
Thank you :SEheart:
Awesome thank you

i know the basics of obs do you know of a video that helps you add a gif I've done it once but can't remember how to do it again
helps teach you i meant
i did it last time by adding a browser source somehow and can't remember how i got the sound and gif to work when someone follows etc.
@quartz tangle To add your overlays to OBS, add a new browser source in your scene. Paste your overlay URL in the browser source properties, set the dimensions to 1920x1080 (unless you changed them on the website) and check Shutdown source when not visible. https://youtu.be/KDvLynUqXI4
i'm so sorry to keep bugging you but i'm trying to add a sound alert and a gif to my stream using obs live without adding a media source or image source just a browser source had it all set before and got my affiliate today and wanted to add a new sound a gif and somehow lost all the ones i h
did have
Are you referring to the alert widget in general?
yeah but theres a way to do it without having to add the alert widget itself by just using adding a browser source to add a gif and a custom sound
Not really
is there a way to make the media request not pop out when turning it on?
Can you elaborate?
when i launch obslive, my media request is docked. theres a "take a tour" button and a "launch media request" button, i click either of those and it pops out into a seperate window
like it undocks
and i have to put it back
Have you completed the tour?
yea, its set up, ive been using it for a while ,its just annoying that it pops out
I have a slightly reprogrammed some of Harris Heller's Alpha Rotating feed and am using it with an animation I made. The timing of the animation and rotating feed line up perfectly in the online editor and in the preview, but on the OBS Live app they are out of sync and I am not sure why. Could anyone suggest a reason/a way to fix it?
Ah okay sorry
ive asked before and they told me to pin it but idk how
@mighty beacon
2) Open OBS(or restart if it was open)
3) Create new dock | obs>view>docks>custom browser docks | name: MR; url: https://obs.streamelements.com/mediarequest
3) Open your browser and type in "localhost:40404"
4) Click StreamElements - Media request link
5) Point the (in browser) URL to https://streamelements.com
6) Have the streamer login with twitch
7) Restart OBS
8) Close Stream Elements Media Request default window
9) Remove --remote-debugging-port=40404 from shortcut```
try these steps
the top of the browser, where you type in website addresses
i did all that
place the page here where i've marked, not where the localhost link
and did you login?
already was
So it didn't show the main page, as seen from the screenshot?
OOOOOH ok hold on
ok that worked, but how do i get it into the dock where you can place it
Restart OBS now
i did
the blue is the one that pops out, and it turns into a window like the red one
like that
Would you like to do a team viewer session so that I can take a look at this?
sure
Because apparently the tour button didn't get fixed
Just DM me the ID and PW when ready
Hey there
I had some code in HTML and CSS given to me, but the coding was made for StreamLabs. When I tried to copy/paste the code into Stream Elements, it almost works, except the video that it should play does not appear at all. I can't figure out what's causing this to happen.
dm'ed you
I talked to the person about this, but he says he's only familiar with Stream Labs, and just kinda stopped messaging me after that, so now I'm left with a half-working Subscription alert.
Am.. I in the right spot for something like this?
The code that is for SL is not compatible for us.
And the best place to ask is in #dev-chat for custom code
can someone plz help my activity feed does not update in realtime and when i restart obs live then its updates

hi im having some kind of echo on my stream ive been trying to figure it but i cant seem to get it started 2 days ago.
It started 2 days ago.
@chrome nova 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
Is there anyway to incorporate sounds into sub notifications on Streamelements? Can't seem to find a link for it :(

Hello guy's i have little problem with overlays,trying to get some simple overlay for the stream but my main problem they don't fit my screen,even if i transform them they are bigger then my actual size screen,can someone help how i can edit that?
@marsh ether The default resolution for StreamElements overlays (theme and custom) is 1920x1080. Please add them in OBS at their full resolution and use CTRL+F to fit to screen if necessary. You can then downscale your stream in OBS settings > Video if you'd like https://i.imgur.com/6bWXxjR.png
Thank you very much.really helpful
Anyone got a good font for the chatwidget to be seebale? in any game? without a background?
Hello all o7
I hope I'm in the right channel for this but I'm having trouble getting the Roll Credits widget to work properly on SLOBS.
To be more specific, testing the widget works just fine. But when I try to 'roll credits live' it just displays the first header and then nothing else.
It won't show my followers, subscribers or anything else. Please @ me with a reply as I might not be looking at this channel. Thank you in advance.
@hearty folio 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.
Sorry if this is the wrong area for this question. Once again I need help with SEPay. I have now enter my information for the second time and it gets stuck on being verified and does not change even after a month. Can someone please help with this I would l to continue to use the option @full thunder

Is there a way I can transfer a layer from one overlay to another on StreamElements?
I was meaning from two canvases or whatever they are called, but I figured out a way (StreamElements Dashboard - Overlays - Click on the 3 dots on the "canvas" I want to copy from, then duplicate and remove the overlays I don't want on each)
euhm... the way I showed is doing the exact same thing, but then only for the thing you want 😛
I didn't even realise, sorry I was figuring it out while I waited 😅
no problem 😄
Hey, so i'm having a weird issue. I'm trying to stream to my Twitch, which i'm set up for in my settings, but when i hit Start Streaming it keeps bring up a window about starting a stream to YouTube, but the window is just blank, and i can't get around this to start my stream
@zinc wedge StreamElements menu, on top of OBS > Logout > Login
Umm, i'm not really sure what that means. Is the bot talking about from the StreamElements website?
no, the StreamElements tab in OBS, in the top bar
Ooohhh ok i didn't see the Logout button at first, my bad
Ok dope that fixed it, thank you~~~
how do i set up an overlay
@crude radish 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

Hello, I am hoping for some help.
I opened my StreamElements account with my YouTube account, but then when trying to add my Facebook, I accidentally signed in, and so they are now 2 separate accounts. Is there a way to just have one?
@cloud linden Account Merging - Please note:
- Merging accounts only allows faster ways to switch between accounts
- Merging accounts does not allow data sharing between accounts - different streaming platforms, different type of events
- Merging accounts allows duplicating/sharing overlays between the accounts
If you understand the limitations of merging and want to proceed, please find the JWT tokens (!jwt) from both accounts you want to merge and you will be directed to DM them to a staff member
@cloud linden You can find your JWT token on your account channels page (Show Secrets to reveal the token): https://streamelements.com/dashboard/account/channels
READ ME: This is a private security token. Do NOT share this token here or other public places, only with a StreamElements staff member in private.
when you have both tokens, DM them to @nova scaffold
OK, done that. thank you
OK, so idiot question
I just downloaded the OBS live software, before I was just using OBS standalone
at the moment I stream concurrently to YouTube and Facebook, is that still doable with this?
No.
It is doable, but the system supports only 1 platform at a time
so you will end up with OBS.Live and the website for the 2nd channel information etc.
So all the benefits from OBS.Live will be useless for the 2nd platform.
Ah I see
Hm, clearly doing something wrong here
so without obs live, the overlay is pretty much useless?
I mean the stuff like recent subscribers etc
Hello everyone, I need help with the TTS setting for subs, if I test it on streamelements overlay page the tts works fine (on SE and OBS) but when I get a sub (any tier or prime) with text in it, the TTS doesn't work, even if I replay the alert and even with the webpage of the overlay with the alertbox open.
PS: TTS fro cheers and tips works perfectly fine
I don't know where the problem is so let me know if I'm asking in the wrong place.
Hi! i'm hoping to get some help with an issue i have been having. My bitrate when i am not streaming games is at a solid 4171 kb/s (Which is what my bitrate in obs is set to) and my total data output when stream is 360 MB, however when i open up anygame to start streaming my Bitrate falls to between 226 kb/s -389 kb/s.
Is there a way to fix this issue that i'm having?
Can you not chat back to people from obslive?
If you've got the chat dock open yes.
Did you install OBS to a custom location?
If you click file then open settings folder from the menu where does it open?
username\appdata\roaming\obs-studio
What version does it have for OBS and what does it say in the bottom right corner for OBS.Live?
OBS 26.1.1, live 20.12.23.684
Try this

Hey, not sure if anyone can help me out here. But just yesterday I started using OBS Live Stream Elements and I’ve noticed how I’ve been dropping a lot of frames. Is there any way to improve that?
How I was wondering if I could get some help with my stream settings
i have a problem with obs. the stream don't start
Ah perfect! Thank you

What did you use prior to OBS.Live? Are your encode, output and bitrate settings the same?
Dropping Frames is client side.
All of a sudden my !kappagen doesn't work. My viewers type in !kappagen <EMOTE><NUMBER> and only one Emote comes up. Any clues fam? Doesnt matter what number or how many emotes they add. Only one emote will come up on stream. Browser URL is the same.
trying to use the cloud backup, it gets to about 50% and gives network error. desktop is hard wired.
The audio from my switch doesnt come through to my speakers when using the elgato capture card. I have tried the audio monitoring and it still wont come through.
- is there anything between the switch and elgato?
No it is directly plugged into the switch
ive had issues with elgato capturing 5.1 surround before, try switch set to stereo. possibly try a different hdmi cable.
have tried both of those things. Tried restarting obs as well.
maybe right click elgato in sources, properties, scroll down, check use custom audio device, and pick it in there? i have my avermedia set up that way.
That still didnt work
@tawdry hare If you are having issues with Elgato hardware or software, we recommend reaching out to their support here: https://e.lga.to/help
sad to say, I had months of elgato issues, reaching out by chat, and phone calls. they all said it was my setup. nothing changed how it was set up, only crapped out after updates. so, changed to avermedia.
Hey, currently having issues with Activity feed in OBS LIVE MAC. I get an error and nothing shows. Help?
Timeout waiting for command: "menu-service-background-worker:events:report:loaded" Logged out and tried to log back in. Now it won't work. It logs into twitch, shows a loading circle and brings me back to the log in screen for OBS live
i just factory reset my pc this morning and im trying to set everything back up currently. Before my reset I had my streamlabs recent events as a custom dock on my obslive UI but now i cant figure out how to put that back in? does anyone know what im doing wrong cause i cant seem to figure out how i made it a custom dock beforehand?
You can go to view > docks > custom docks, but i'm not sure how that dock you had would be setup. May have to look into streamlabs support for that
when I launch OBS 26.1.1 I get this error --- Authentication Failure - Failed to authenticate with twitch - status error: invalid refresh token (HTTP 400)
@unborn tangle StreamElements menu, on top of OBS > Logout > Login
And also in OBS settings->stream disconnect account and connect
this seemed tro work
Nice, you're welcome 
StreamElements bot is ignoring all commands and messages from one specific account in my stream. It was previously linked as the bot account, although I removed it as it wasn't properly working while another service was also linked to the account. I've explored all the options I could find, but no matter what I try, SE bot will simply not respond to the account in question.
@wraith inlet 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
Unfortunately that doesn't solve my issue. I'm fine with leaving the bot as StreamElements, but it's not reading the messages of the name it used to be attached to. I also noticed that in the User Management area, it hasn't detected that the account has been active since February 4th, although it's consistently posting messages everyday.
Is anyone here using the Streamelements chat widget? And can tell me a good font or stroke to use? so the chat is readable above any game? without some black or grey background?
Use theme custom and set font color to white or whatever
That doesn't answer my question
I already use the custom theme, with a white font color, but Im looking for a good thicc font, which is able to see and is fitting a 0.5 stroke aswell
stop asking in multiple channels please @gaunt flax
@ebon quail StreamElements menu, on top of OBS > Logout > Login

okay, thank you
Hey everyone, I changed my bot to my streamer name so I can use my commands with my emotes. When I do this, the bot stops working. I have disabled the bot and re-enabled it again, but the bot won't work. If I change it back to the streamelements bot, it works but my custom emotes don't show up. Can anybody help me with this?
@grizzled sierra 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
By custom bot name, I meant that I am using my own name, as in my own account as the bot. This happens quite often where the bot stops working and my commands cannot be used. I have restarted OBS.live and restarted the bot several times. Only the streamelements version is working

@full thunder Can anybody help me with my streamelements bot not working when I use my own account for the bot, not a custom bot?
Let me try and look into this for you
Good evening. I've been trying to figure out why nothing I do on SE works on OBS. I can set up a whole overlay and I hear the sounds but nothing shows on the screen. When streaming, viewers experience the sound but only what I've set up on my own shows. Any idea on how to fix this? I'm really new to all this.
In OBS, do you have the overlays at the top of the sources? You might have them hidden behind the capture
