Hi i'm new here and having some trouble using streamelements alerts. I searched for solutions or other people having same problem but did find no solution. I tried deleting all on obs and streamelements and start again from scratch but still having same problem : my alerts are totally at the left of the box and being cut (sorry for my english, i'm french :/)
@upbeat plover 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, I feel so stupid .... I thought updating the values would be live, didn't think it had to be validated first. Really sorry, and thank you again
TTS is way more quiet than the overlay alert sounds despite volume being turned up to 100%. Chat can hear overlay sounds just fine, but the TTS message gets quiet.
accidentally deleted my last post, I was wondering, do you guys know why my obs would be doing this? If I close then repon obs and I immediately press start stream it works. However, if I let everything load and press it, this shows up. Thanks.
Does anyone know why my Raid sound isnt playing on stream? :S ive checked on the Streamelements, and it says its there.... but it never seems to play
@quartz tulip StreamElements menu, on top of OBS > Logout > Login
this is the exact problem i have, i did report it to them, and they said they'll work on it
is the live video settings button working for you?
problem persist after relog in obslive?
yeah
tried re installation ?
yea, everything, i contacted support through the website and provided recordings and logs
and did everything they told me to
so hopefully they can fix this, it was working perfectly fine with twitch, just not with youtube
so i started streaming recently again and whenever i stream apex legends i have fps issues with the stream, not the game, i can run the game in the highest settings so my pc is capable. i stream low and high settings with the game on lowest mid and high settings and none of this is fixing the stream
problem persist @full thunder I appreciate the reply though. Seems as if its a software issue.
i also tried switching to the beta version, nothing fixed it
I stream to both YouTube and twitch on different days is there an easier way to switch between linked accounts? right now I'm logging out and back in between every stream.
nope
oof, well that sucks. I thought since i can login to both through one SE account that there had to be a better way.
guys, i need help, how do i remove the yellow lines on the window getting captured by window capture?
i am in need of help, i got this overlay and imported it from streamlabs to streamelements, but i cant figure out how to physically add them to my personal overlays section so i can edit them
what yellow lines are you referring to?
if you go here https://streamelements.com/dashboard/overlays you should see all your imported overlays/alerts
import from SL? the overlay will be there after you import it and you will be able to edit
no i imported from sl to obs, but i want to edit it and upload from obs to streamelements
oh thats only seen by you in the preview window, if you click outsite that window it will go away
oh you're right, its different, my bad
try changing the capture method from the window capture properties
Yea this is a Windows thing, I think there's a fix planned in an upcoming version of OBS? In the meantime changing the capture method to BitBlt will get rid of that yellow border
with the capture method automatic and windows graphic capture its the same and with BitBlt i can see the window on obs
with bitblt its black on obslive preview
Hmm, I think this is an issue with capturing browser-based apps, which I'm guessing the Krunker client is.. You could try disabling hardware acceleration in Krunker, though this might impact the performance of your game.
Display capture might be your best bet for streaming Krunker particularly
Hey guys, stupid question, i know.. but after i done editing the overlays from StreamElements how do i add them to obs?
hey all, quick question, i am trying to set up an overlay with my alert box and whenever I test the overlay's alert box it plays it in the editor, how do I get my alerts to work?
@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
Hi! I wanted to know, if I wanted to share an alert that I created from scratch on Streamelements, how is the process for me to do so? Like, having a link so that other people can use it.
Hello, you can achieve this by having other channels add you as an editor on this page - https://streamelements.com/dashboard/account/channels. Once you're added as an editor, you can duplicate your overlays to the account. Currently, sharing overlays by a URL is exclusive to just a few businesses.
Hi! I wanted to know why i can't connect my Streamlabs OBS scenes to OBS LIVE. It always freeze at 6/24 images transfered (20%)... I tried everything and get no solution.
Hi everyone, so I created a new twitch channel but when I pull up the StreamElements Activity feed, it still shows the activity of my old channel. I cant get it to show my new one. Any advice?
@unkempt spade StreamElements menu, on top of OBS > Logout > Login
i'm having trouble with alerts I hear the music but the picture/gif with the text is not showing up. I added it as a browser source
Is it maybe an idea to add a bot or something that if a person donate that het will automatically get a donate rol that you can choose on a discord server from yout channel?
how do you put your computer display with the overlay on stream
hey really hoping someone can help me out here - I set up my OBS.Live to connect with my YouTube channel, and now I want to stream to my Twitch channel, but every time I click Start Streaming, it acts like it's trying to connect to the YouTube channel still. If anyone has some help to provide, that would be awesome, thanks
thanks guys i fixed it!
I suggest you bring that idea to #dev-chat, they might be able to point you in the right direction
I have a question with StreamElements OBS, so basically I stream on 1 monitor and I want to be able to view my chat having OBS not opened like I am able to on streamlabs, is there a way to do this? If so could someone tell me how.
Hey guys, I'm having a hard time trying to configure my game audio to my stream from my ps4. I have the elgato chat link and the mic works just fine, but I cant get the game audio to come through
If you have one monitor and/or would like the chat overlay on screen, please look at the link below.
Please note this is not a plugin for OBS and not maintained by SE.
https://github.com/baffler/Transparent-Twitch-Chat-Overlay
alright ty
Is there a way to have my chat show in game using hotkeys
^
u mean for the stream or for you?
Hello, I have a PS5 and my streamelements isn’t picking up any of the audio. I bought an Astro and hooked up all the necessary cords to my PS5, elgato, and PC. Still not receiving any sound.. I tried messing with the settings in obs and it’s still no sound
@grave bronze Obs.live is a plugin for OBS Studio for the best OBS support, please join their Official Discord @ discord.gg/obsproject
They help with stream labs obs?
If you are using SLOBS, either contact Streamlabs or Elgato
@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
By dragging it down the overlay source in the sources list in OBS
The overlay builder is like a cake
whatever you want to see first
you put it on top of the layers

Does anyone know how obslive integrates with restream?
@drowsy lodge it doesn't.
Just tried obslive last night because my friends were telling me it's better than streamlabs, I was also told that it uses less cpu power and is more efficient. But when I set it up with the exact output settings I use in streamlabs the stream was glitchy and unwatchable. Does anyone have any input?
Hi there, I've been streaming on FB for a few streams but switching over to YouTube. I updated the OBS stream settings, but all of the StreamElements stuff in OBS Live is still on FB. See this GIF: https://cdn.zappy.app/b2042fc19960eae921c43f9720542c03.gif
Just curious how do I get the SE elements to update to YouTube vs being stuck on FB? I've tried reswitching back to FB then back to YT as well as quitting out of the app and restarting OBS Live
Is it possible to switch scenes without showing OBS using a single monitor?
Yes, check the Hotkeys in OBS settings

@vast hound StreamElements menu, on top of OBS > Logout > Login
thank you
thanks @nova scaffold
Guessing this might be a perennial issue, but... I streamed from an old computer and it wiped my custom bot name. Now trying to set that up on the old machine, but Ground Control won't launch (that is, it launches but never displays a window -- just appears in taskbar but won't open). Already uninstalled/reinstalled, already updated pillow via pip. Bueller?
alguien español que me pueda ayudar a configarlo todo?
@strange wyvern Welcome to the helpdesk! The regular helpdesk channels are in English but we do provide multi-language support in the following channels: #🇩🇪︱deutsch | #🇫🇷︱français | #🇪🇸︱español | #🇵🇹︱português | #🇳🇱︱nederlands | #🇮🇹︱italiano | #🇵🇱︱polski | #🇨🇳︱中文語言服務區-chinese | #🇯🇵︱日本語-japanese | #🇭🇺︱magyar | #🇰🇷︱한국어-korean | #🇹🇭︱ไทย-thai | #🇷🇺︱русский | #🇺🇦︱українська | #🇨🇿︱czech
Hmmm ok, I found out how to reset the settings, and now I have 2-3 copies of the same bot in my chat.
make sure you are not running any extra instances in your task manager
restarted obs.live; still getting double bot....
one's appearing as myself and one's appearing as the custom bot account.
StreamElements menu, on top of OBS > Logout > Login
that just made my SE activity feed go away :/
nvm, got it back by closing the bot setup tab
ok, that removed one bot for as long as I was logged out. logging back in brought back the double bot
did the bot work while you were logged out?
yeah
then something must be running in the background
I've tried parting/rejoining the channel from the web side as well
ok, I'll reboot again and see if it's not the busted Ground Control doing shenanigans
restart your pc and try again
no luck. one bot in the channel until I opened OBS, then there were two
you don't have ground control opened right?
nope
I hit "disconnect custom bot account" in OBS.live and now there's just one bot
who thinks it's me
if you close OBS and the bot is still there then its not OBS.Live
...then where would it be? If I close OBS and type commands into my channel, the bot presently still responds under my username
if I re-open OBS and type commands, the same thing happens but ALSO the bot responds however I tell it to respond in the OBS.live tab
i.e. whether that's as StreamElements, myself, or my custom bot account
thats why I asked about ground control since you mentioned you also have it, if its also running in the background if might be that one responding
I don't see anything remotely "Ground Control" looking in my task manager right now
@mystic nest what's your result at www.speedtest.net
that's def not the problem then. what's your cpu/gpu specs?
i7-4790 @ 3.6GHz
GTX 1050Ti
what's the game and what's your output resolution/framerate?
literally most games bar Minecraft and Arma 3 suprisingly, 1920x1080 60fps
it's probably your cpu. My laptop runs nearly the same specs and it can play medium-heavy games just fine, but add an add an additional 1080p60 stream on top of that and it'll choke
I bet if you reduce your output to 30fps you'll see a big improvement. or try streaming something lightweight like, idunno, Minit or Undertale
I dont really wanna change my game just to get a good stream lol
DualPC setup can be a good solution then.
whats that
You can get a secondairy computer to capture your game-pc video and audio
that way you offload the stream to a second pc
^^^
thats money doe
yep. but its a fix
if you don't wanna change your game then you can change your graphics level, or reduce the framerate of your stream
I reduced it to 48fps and thats seemed to work for Valorant
Will test other games in a moment
hi how do i put animated in game bottom overlay on to replace an still image one
web m format
where do you want this?
Howdy, how do I add an overlay on my Xbox stream? I’m on the OBSlive but I see nothing
how can I add my Chat in OBS-Live?
@ruby otter 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
@ruby otter Consoles do not have native support for overlays. You would need a capture card, PS4 remote play or Xbox companion app and a PC with OBS in order to have overlays over your console gameplay.
We have a blog post about how to set up console streaming with our essential tools: https://blog.streamelements.com/how-to-stream-on-console-7b620b1c46c3
Thank you!
you mean a chat widget to show your chat on stream?
yep
because i installed OBS-Live but there is no widget anywhere
can someone help me??
hello :)?
this widget is part of your overlays, if you go into the overlay editor you can add it
You're not stupid, this stuff is pretty arcane hehe
haha thanks man 🙂
I still haven't been able to get this extra bot out of my channel. If I ask the bot to depart my channel from the web panel, both the normal bot and the extra bot leave. But both bots still come back if I tell it to join the channel again
I can't change the nick on the extra bot -- it's always posting as my username. The normal bot acts normally, except that it will not accept being called "StreamElements" even if I save that setting in OBS.live
I'm not sure what could be the issue here, you can try revoking perms for the extra bot account that you won't use
I would love to except that it's "me" and I can't mute myself
I mean from twitch, let me get you a link
but as I said before, there's something logged as your account in the background, maybe a second instance of OBS.Live or ground control
you can also try this
when i put a animated screen on my obs it has a play sign and doesent play the screen once played once
I uninstalled Ground Control
@cosmic pagoda "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."
^^ thx, will try
Does anyone else have the problem on macOS, that the media request share thingy video inside the stream is lagging behind the audio? i cant get it in sync...

I did that to get my alert box to work, but doing a donation goal, it resizes but the text doesn't. Do i need to just make the text ridiculously large?
Cancel that I figured it out
you need to adjust the size in your overlay editor
yea i just caught that....im so dumb sometimes lol
thank you so much
@full thunder That brought me back down to 1 bot, but only until I re-added the custom bot :/
Re-entering that console command removes only the custom bot. There's still a bot in the channel who's responding as the broadcaster (i.e. me)
Hello, I'm currently having a problem with StreamElements OBS.Live, the program isn't able to get my activity feed and my alerts aren't working

Hi, i was told this might best place, can someone have listen to my audio. It's something that really bugs me, any advice would be great help.

once i download an overlay how do i add it to the scene.. i'm so new i'm so lost haha
help me
you have to add the overlay link to a browser source in obs, and put the correct size in there (1920x1080 or whatever size your overlay is)
that'll add the countdown timer and everything to it?
thank you, I appreciate that
Hello all :). I was wondering if it is possible for a chat command to prompt an emote on screen during the stream? Thanks!
is it possible that by the donation goal the fee from SEPay or some other service is getting of the count
under your overlay go to session data and reset it

Win 10, i7-9700K, 1080ti ftw3, streaming at 720p, 6000k bitrate, 940mbps down, 35mbps up. I have tried x264 as well as nvenc encoding. Both crash my game and the stream itself.

hello guys i have a problem with the game capture, i have it added and set to any fullscreen application but when i run csgo or even set the properties to a specific window it still has the same outcome. Literally nothing comes up, i do have a background image but i have the game capture above the background file i was wondering if someone could help me keep the background/border and use the inside box for my game capture ❤️
Does anyone have a guide for adding openvr capture? I can't seem to find the right folder like the directions say.
@gloomy sedge Valve has implemented a trusted mode which does not allow OBS to hook CS:GO using Game Capture. Read more in their announcement post here https://blog.counter-strike.net/index.php/2020/07/30736/.
Additionally, they have no plans on allowing OBS in trusted mode.
https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=8835-KLXV-0292#whitelist
You will need to run the game in either windowed or borderless fullscreen and use Window Capture instead.
Alternately, you can launch the game with -allow_third_party_software.

Hello, recently today my custom bot has disconnected from my OBS live and no matter what I've done it won't let me change to my custom bot. I've tried it in the dashboard, and also in the program itself. Have looked up heaps of tutorials on youtube and can't seem to fix it. Any help would be appreciated!

yeah, not much to do in these cases, might be worth calling your internet provider
Never mind, I figured out what I did wrong!
So I downloaded obs live but im unsure how to get streamelements to download as well. It says I have it installed but when I click on it, it does nothing.
how do i change my resolution to 2560x1080
@rare bridge 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
Do you have the streamelements button on top of OBS?
Hey how are ya, I’m on a 1 monitor set up and I can’t figure out how to display my chat on my actaul screen while I play my game so I cannot see chat
That might’ve sounded confusing just want chat overlay on my game screen
i dont think you can
@somber reef the chat overlay goes through the obs software not the other way around
@scenic frost you have not installed OBS.Live properly then
@shy mountain can you explain how I should install it then?
Just use the installer again
@shy mountain is my question possible?
@somber reef If you have one monitor and/or would like the chat overlay on the screen, please look at the link below.
Please note this is not a plugin for OBS and not maintained by SE.

I set up twitch sound alerts and day one they worked perfectly fine, the next 2 days the alerts would keep repeating after a redemption then i stopped hearing them altogether, also my wifes overlay alerts she cant hear herself, but live stream can hear them, anyone know how to fix either of these issues??
so recently i have started to try youtube instead of twitch for like an hour or so . i recieved 3 new subscribers from them but my alerts are not going off? is there something else i need to change?
is anyone else having connection issues?
@rugged cliff If you are not hearing your alerts and/or Media Request, you are most likely using the Control Audio via OBS option in your browser source properties.
To make sure you hear the alerts and the stream also hears them, follow along the screenshot bellow.
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/199460642975907840/685371800456134686/unknown.png
ive tried updating, driver updates, internet resets and im dropping mad frames
@rugged cliff as for sound alerts and day one they worked perfectly fine, the next 2 days the alerts would keep repeating after a redemption then i stopped hearing them altogether - i need more information on this
@odd maple #helpdesk-youtube message
@wary nexus are you getting an error or OBS in general is not connecting?
it connects and then i dropped alot of frames and my stream quality goes to crap
Dropped Frames means that you have a bad connection between your device and the streaming platform and most likely something related to your ISP not handling the connection properly.
Speed tests usually cannot help solve this problem and its best to use this guide: https://obsproject.com/wiki/Dropped-Frames-and-General-Connection-Issues
If you stream to twitch, use the !twitchtest command and do a connection test to your regional servers.
ive tried everything i can think of
do i type that in my stream chat?
Its the sound alert extension for twitch, the one that people cheer bits to play them, 1st night after setup they worked fine, now i can't hear them go off, live stream and chat can, but they won't stop going off, they keep repeating over and over and i have no clue how to fix it
You'd have to speak to their dev. That's not something we can help with.
Im struggling help lol I am a decent player who’s never really thought about making his stream look good but I just recently decided that maybe I should have an overlay and I have OB us live but can’t seem to get it correctly
Or get the set up correctly so I have started fresh you can use some help
no, you type the twitchtest command here

Ty but seems the intro vid was too fast lol thanks tho
Does streamelements allow for 2 responses from 1 command. As in 1 command to trigger a video on screen as well as activate the counter widget for how many times it has been done?
i need help i am on a macbook, not exactly best for streaming i know but I want to stream music and some of my programming, however when "importing SLOBS or Nightbot" and this is what happens
I can't scroll either any way to fix this?
no, only 1 response per command. But if you are referring to the custom widget in #widget-share it might actually work as long as the widget doesn't require the command to be created.
@ripe path Can you try and maximize the OBS window? Or is this the maximum size?
Right. In this case I would suggest to try and use the importers from the website.
okie dokie thank you
Hi there! I'm facing some issues... When the alerts are played on obs, they lost all the formating from streamelements and the text show up only white, without the stroke, shadow and collors added. I've tried to clean the cache, add again, and happens the same issue. Any thoughts?
checked variations tab?
yep, everything is right! All the notifications lost the formatting... But only on OBS 😦
this is how is happening
this is how it's supposed to be
everytime! Also, always saving the page on streamelements
Even on the overlay in the streamelements, when editing, the formatting get lost sometimes... when I open that specific text settings, it works again... It's really odd
hiya, where do i get the media request widget??
hello when i setup my alerts and its work good for 3 days then when some1 follow me the alerts not work!
Hey I dont know if anyone can help me please? My OBS/Streamelements has changed from Facebook over to Twitch chat? How do I change it back ?
I only stream on Facebook Gaming page?
Hi there i am trying to figure out to add scenes from streamelements onto my obs.live application and can not figure out how to get it to work
@rain imp 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
@short echo StreamElements menu, on top of OBS > Logout > Login
I have logged out but now it wont let me log in through Facebook, I have read maybe it is my firewall blocking OBS from connecting with Facebook
Sorted now I had to change my Facebook PW for some bizzare reason?
Hello i need some Help with my OBSLive Bot.. Everytime i change the name to my Streamname the bot stops working. I dont know what i can do.
Can someone Help me?
Did you choose the 3rd option?
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
Set custom bot name
no the second one
Use the 3rd option
so i have to do a new account? or just log in with my normal account?
Login with your normal account
aaaaawww thank you so much!!
You're welcome!

Good afternoon people!
I have a problem with adding an overlay in OBS, OBS.Live and StreamLabs OBS.
When adding a browser source and inserting the link, OBS simply doesn't load, but if I put "google.com.br" for example, it loads, the problem is in the overlays.
Attached is a video of the problem I am suffering from.
I looked on the internet, and there are some recommendations for what to do in situations like this, but it didn't work out.
Could you help me, please?
Hello everyone, my chat is don't working, what can i do?

Hello everyone! I have an issue with obs.live. I seem to be experiencing very bad render lag on my streaming PC, I did a test stream with these settings and it worked fine.

Hey, I need some help. I want to start a stream but it says that my Twitch account is not connected, but that's it. Already disconnected and reconnected, but that doesn't work either.
go to obs settings > stream and reconnect your twitch account
Thank you i try it
Hello! Every time I start my stream, my alerts don’t appear. I’ll update my overlays and refresh multiple times. About 30-40 minutes in stream, they work again. I have my alertbox within my overlays. Is there a reliable way to test before stream that the alerts are working and/or am I doing something wrong that causes instability before my stream?
hey i need help with an alert, im trying to get streamelemets to play a custom sound when someone sends a bit but it wont change the sound from the base one
@dry cloud You can test alerts via the Emulate bell on the lower left side of the Overlay Editor. Simply go to your Dashboard > My Overlays > pencil/edit button on the overlay. Make sure the Preview LIVE on stream option is on to see the alert in OBS/XSplit** https://streamable.com/vtulg9
You may have to check you variation settings, as they may be overriding your settings.
how do i do that?
it doesnt let me into my overlay editor
Check the variation options in the settings
Are you getting an error message?
ty
would anyone be willing to assist me in fixing alert sounds on stream elements? even sounds that are already submitted and working on other actions do not work if i was to put the same sound on another alert...
What do you mean by the same sound not working on other alerts? Is it possible that variation settings are causing different sounds to play?
i can take the sound i have for a follower alert that works right? then take it to another alert and try it there and i get the genaric ding every time
Yeah, check your variations. Sometimes they can override your settings and play the default instead of your sound.
you are a genious! i have been at this for so long now and finally i understand! when you said variations made me think. 💖
hey guys, my alerts are currently not showing on my stream is there any way to fix it ? I am currently streaming to twitch but neither my activity feed nor my alerts seem to be "sync" . it is worth mentioning they do work on the preview from streamlabs

hi everyone can someone help me my !followage and !watchtime are not working they are just saying 0 everytime 😦
@winter marten The !watchtime command is directly tied to the Loyalty system. The Loyalty system must be enabled for viewers' watchtime to count up.
To enable Loyalty, please go to the Loyalty section of your account: https://streamelements.com/dashboard/loyalty
Watchtime counts up every 10 minutes alongside Loyalty points, and only while the stream is live. Reruns will not be counted.
Please note that watchtime is not tracked by Twitch and there is no way to retroactively apply past watchtime to viewers.
Hey i just was wondering how to add overlays that i downloaded from stream elements. I already have it downloaded i just dont know where to put them now
@wintry 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

Hi so I have been using OBS Live for a while now and use it for Facebook Live to stream my videos only, I've had no problems with it, my activity feed and chat showed that I'm connected to Facebook but now just recently it has changed to Twitch for some reason. I use the twitch app for my streams on there, not OBS. I have used my Facebook stream key to connect but nothing shows up on my page after I go live. How can I fix this? I need help.

Thanks Keizar, I ran the logs analyzer but wasn’t sure how to correct the issue, as I have the audio turned off on my actual camera before entering the PC and I don’t see a way to remove it as an audio source on its own. And just leave a video source.
I don’t think that was directed towards me?
No
Towards the person that is no longer here.
I just didn't clean up properly, sorry.
As for your issue, the audio buffer on how to fix it - usually the fix is listed in the analyzer.
Yeah it mentioned just restarting OBS. However this is a constant issue, it’s become unusable to stream as its dropping about 25% of my frames. My CPU/RAM/ and GPU are all looking good as far as loads are concerned, I’m not even recording footage at the same time as broadcasting. So there shouldn’t be a huge load on the system. It’s an i9 9900k with 32GB Ram and 3080 GPU. Should be no issues at all.

is there a way to use a custom font in a widget?
Google Fonts
More than 900 google fonts are supported at this time. You can preview them here: https://fonts.google.com/
Custom Fonts
Steps:
- Install the font on the streaming PC or choose a pre-installed windows font.
- In the overlay widget settings, select Text Settings
- Click on Enable Custom Font
- Type the name of the font as it appears in the windows font directory (This is usually
C:\Windows\Fonts)
Note: After installing fonts, the browser and OBS must be restarted for the font to appear.
i looked at the font selection and nothing says Enable Custom Font
just says font
thats a custom widget
i have a certain font to use
there is a different way for custom widgets to use custom fonts
it might be best to ask #dev-chat
I'm not a developer
Then ask the creator of the widget to help you out.
i don't know who that is
What is the widget you have?
where did you get it from?
this discord
So from #widget-share ?
yea
ok so go into #dev-chat and ask @formal walrus if they can provide you with a line of code and where to add it for the custom font you have
Hey all, how do i go about adding variations for follow sounds and what not, I added all the different sounds and profiles but when I click on test it plays the default. Is this only because its test or did i miss something? Thank you 🙂
Test automatically does default unless specified for a different kind.
ah ok, so If i've added the variations when im streaming they will take effect?
Assuming you've properly configured them yes.
Hi there. My game capture is showing a black screen. I've done just about everything that the internet tells me to and nothing has fixed it
HI @keen sable , have you tried launching the OBS as an Admin?
I have it to launch as admin by default
If you use display capture, does it show the game?
how can i add timer zone command with india time in streamelements
i cant find india anywhere
hi. i emulated a subscribe on stream elements and it appeared on my stream but now is not disappearing off of my stream
@chilly dock there's a timezone command which you can edit with basic math IIRC
@errant pagoda try refreshing the cache of the browser source on OBS
how do i do that?
should be fixed now
mine?
yes
its still there
sorry, if you dont mind can you tell me command
On obs, right click on the alert browser source, go to properties, and then scroll down and reload cache
it is still there. I should probably say that it is the overlay that shows recent subscribers. sorry!
is it stuck on OBS?
it wont get off of the preview screen of my stream. i cant click on it or move it or anything
can you upload a screenshot?
@rugged quail can u help me
@chilly dock there's a timezone bot command, which you can edit, I think.
Hey @rugged quail
has the pleasure of chatting with you yesterday
xD
you are omnipresent I see
which makes sense for a bot
I am legion
@errant pagoda in the overlay you created, the labels are located on the top left, I think you pushed the source all the way to the right
oooo you dreamteam person
I just saw you need 20k followers OR subs on yT
but when I tried applying it said I cant 😦
so is it 20k AND 20k or OR?
xD
the actual overlay is the thing in the bottom. the one in the top left was the one that was emulated from the stream elements thing. i cant interact with it at all
cause yeah dont have 20k on both
@errant pagoda you can simply delete the browser source that says 'recent subscribers' and try adding it again
i have
if i type ist its showing different time
Okay, can you add it again?
In that case, delete all the browser sources from your OBS and start over
delete all of the same ones or just all browser sources?
all of them, build the scene again from scratch
you would have better management of it in that case
@chilly dock I checked it for you and our bot doesn't seem to have that option, I would recommend you try using a different tool
thanks, can we expect to add in your bot. cuz i hav all commands in your bot
thank you so much @rugged quail

And what happened a week ago?
The discord is getting thousands of messages per day - need the problem description
I switched to another service for my alerts, it sucked and I came back to SE, when I created my account again since I deleted my previous one, my channel information, like followers, wasn't being displayed at all
Deployed a small fix, please test with a real follower alert.
Here I was asking for help on this issue
Please test with a real follower and see if it shows up
It doesn't
Or maybe it could be fixed now but I don't have any friends to test this with atm, could you help me with that please?
Help needed. I use a Zoom L8 LiveTrak into StreamLabs OBS. I get sound in, and it shows up in the mixer. I believe I have the Input and output set right, but no sound out. I have a game PC and a broadcast PC, and I have an Elgato sound card and StreamDeck. Thanks, Debby, Special Family Connection.

Hello i was wondering if there was an easy way to creating an overlay for the mediarequest queue, that way it displays the current video and shows whats upcoming?
Heey Guys!
I know you read that question a hundred times
but what means the color box between kb/s and fps/cpu usage?
it is changing a lot but I have no loosing frames
means instability, of the whole stuff, to get more detail about it just open the stats viewport
can be found in the View menu dropdown @carmine whale
i think my issue belongs here idk: I want to have the default bit-cheer sound effect blienn but when i set it on mine, it plays like a battle scene and idk what to do to fix it :i
iirc If you are streaming/recording you won't be able to change those settings
my mistake, it was NDI output
Could anyone please help me? I haven't been able to use Streamelements' alerts at all beacuse it's not displaying any followers, activity, or anything
It's like my channel didn't exist
I've wrote here about this problem multiple times and the issue is still not solved
@obtuse umbra you account is already reported to our dev team, we appreciate your patience
how do i make the text come after the alert box as Animationed fully then text show up
Hello, I'm having problems with the Overlay editor, all my custom alerts work fine except for the sucriber and cheer ones!! I already tried changing the gifs, changing the sound, using videos, and nothing works, it just shows the default gif and sound effect 😦 You can watch the problem in this vieo
video*
You can see the cheer and suscriber alert are not wokirng properly
It's definitely not an internet issue, the rest of the websites I have open right now work just fine!
Please if anybody knows how to fix this send me a DM or something!
check out your variation settings at the bottom left, these can override your settings if left at default.
Hi. I am new to Streamelements and i was wondering about chat bot. Is it no longer available? I do not see it in the website, and when I go to the plugin within OBS Studio, although it says bot and tipping setup, only the tipping setup occurs when clicked.
Hello, is it possible to add or change an image widget in the overlay from a donation? (es. with a js function). I'm working on a progress bar but i want to make the whole thing automatic.
I suggest you ask this in #dev-chat, they might be able to point you in the right direction
didn't see it! thanks

Hello, can someone help me with a problem that im facing, whenever i go live on youtube. OBS streamelements will not pick up youtube LIVE chat. Unless i go LIVE through OBS streamelements
how else are you going live?
was wondering is there is way to bypass this step. I want to go LIVE on youtube through youtube and not OBS streamelements
manage videos > live > go live
when i go that, obs streamelements does not pick livechat it says Link broken
So here is how live streaming on YT works -> when ever you go live more or less a new streamed video is created on your channel.
OBS is not able to pick that up properly as the current stream, so going live via OBS is best solution here
as OBS will make that live video stream for you
that being said, you can always try and logout and log back into OBS.Live
but doesn't that means i'll have to put in seo keywords in that live session again and again
Not sure what that is - as in i know what SEO keywords is, but not sure on the option it self
that being said, when you attempt to go live with obs.live
a prompt window should pop up
and help you set those up i believe
alright will give it a few more goes and try different methods, thankyou for the help ❤️
@full thunder So
- download Remote play for ps4
- login with secondary account
- connect secondary controller to Mac with Bluetooth
- then use display capture due to being IOS
- then i should be able to add image of the overlay on top of the display capture
does anyone know how to add elgato software on obs live?
Which exact software?
Streamdeck??
So the capture card software
open the capture card software
and then in OBS
add it as a window source

how do i resize a overlay,?
@ocean rampart 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
trying to make a new overlay, i have a video at the bottom of the scrren but it wont allow me to put text over the top?
i have moved the layers around but the text still goes behind ?
any help would be great
if the video is in the alertbox - change the layout
there are 3 layouts - text below, text to the side or text on top of the video
no
ive added a video custom bar along the bottom
but the test i want to add goes behind everythime
check the order in the layers tab. layers overlap eachother, make sure the text is above the video there.
can you give me your account ID and overlay name, i check myself.
account ID is here:
https://streamelements.com/dashboard/account/channels
i can screen share and show you
no screen share, i got admin access. just need to find you, this is why i need the account ID.
@tacit cloud see that the video is transparent? it is invisible. If i turn that on, it is correct and behind the text.

Hi, yestarday my obs crashed when i was live. Can anyone help ?
@paper radish 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.
need the log of the live that crashed, if it isn't the last u can crawl in the logs folder for it
i believe its this one
Is there any kind of issues in regards to how layering appears in OBS? I have two layers of text (in StreamElements Browser) with identical settings which are layered perfectly on top of each other -- but in OBS they are separated by a few pixels.
hey how do i make myself custom transitions for obs.live
disable Game DVR
Having the YUV Color range set to "Full" will cause playback issues in certain browsers and on various video platforms. Shadows, highlights and color will look off. In OBS, go to "Settings -> Advanced" and set "YUV Color Range" back to "Partial". @paper radish
there isn't any crash in that log btw
ok thanks
learn after effects
ah good ik how to use ae so i think im good
😉 gL
thx
It does not let me go live it keeps coming up with there might be a problem connecting to servers or with my stream key
Disconnect and reconnect account in OBS Settings > Stream
it worked thx
You're welcome 
Since a couple of days my custom bot name settings are not saved in my obs live plugin, I've tried different things like reinstalling the plugin. Reinstalling obs, but it just doesn't want to remembery login
After succesfull login it doesn't change
It works when I select my own name
@twin spade "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."
Any idea how i get rid of the cookies info on my stream information tab?

Hi. Installed OBS.live, now many, but not all, parts of my OBS are extremely tiny letters/buttons. How do I fix this? Can't seem to find a setting/preference
I sometimes have this problem that I don't see the last actions and they always helped by just clicking on the arrow / confirmation mark
I have a Question to StreamElements. Is there a way to overwrite a change on Streamelements overlay editor for all overlays?
like changing the sound of a tip
and it is changed on every tip without going to every single overlaysite and change it seperate
not sure I understand what mark you're talking about
Hi I have a problem with stream elements not updating alerts to the what i have changed them to. current I am trying to change the Cheer alert and the Sub alerts but they remain at the default settings.
Have you checked the variation settings?
Alerts have variations based on amounts/months etc.
So you need to edit those aswell.
@nova scaffold ok i see this now is there any way i can batch action change all of them or do i have to do each one individually
Those are individual. If you want to save you some time, make new ones - they take over the main alert settings, so you can start from that instead of a blank variation
@nova scaffold Sweet good idea also so you know I was tinkering while waiting and you can also just turn the variations off for each one and it works that way as well. thank you very much you helped alot.
Yep, you can turn them off for now 🙂
Enjoy building the overlays and streaming with our tools
@nova scaffold I sure will I am loving this thanks again !
hello! i am having trouble with the custom bot name. Sometimes it will work when i set it to my channel name, and sometimes is doesnt. is there any way i can fix this?
@worn rose 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 commands set up with my emotes, will this allow them to be used without the custom bot being subbed, like it works with the bot using my name?
My sub goal widget is showing I have more subs than I actually do and I can't figure out how to get it to update to the actual number. It's been stuck like this for awhile now. Can someone help?

@night cape 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

there isnt, u could just use show in stream button and disable hearing of that overlay. That would work
@carmine whale 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

You may need to switch the OBS stream key
I'm having an issue with streamelements overlays in OBS Live. I saved a widget used for displaying your last uploaded yt video from the themes gallery, and put it into my OBS. Once in OBS it would no longer center. When editing and testing it in the editor, it looked just fine and was in frame. No matter sizing nor what tweaking I did in the editor and in OBS it would always be cut out of frame within OBS. I decided I could overlook this as it wasn't a needed widget. But later in testing, I realized the alert box I created in the editor had the same issue. It works fine in the editor, but once in obs only part of the alert would be in frame, at the very edge of the overlay box.

Though yes, you can see the full alert now, it's quite tiny and off-centers my text and image of the alert.
Hello all, I’m seeking help with my capture card. It’s a pos, cheap Amazon one, but worked amazing until I moved my pc, and now it will work for about 3 mins after powering off and back on. I have tried all USB ports to no avail.
I don't think we are able to help with an issue that is not related to us at all. You will have to contact the capture card's manufacturer for help if its not turning on.
Thank you for your quick response. I will attempt to contact them.

Click on "Streamelements" on top -> logout -> try to login again
I've tried that several times.
It lets me connect/login to my YouTube account, but not my Twitch.
```Add --remote-debugging-port=40404 to your OBS shortcut in the Target field
(Right click the desktop icon of OBS -> properties -> in the Target field at the end after the quotation marks add --remote-debugging-port=40404)
Open OBS
Open your browser
Type in `localhost:40404````
Once you get to the localhost part, show me a screenshot of what you see

My stream sound is has a 3sec Delay how do I fix this please?
Streams will always have some delays. Different platforms have additional settings (low latency mode in general) and your stream settings have an impact on it.
if it's only audio delay, that's something else.
Getting lower than 2sec. is generally impossible without some special tech
Yeah if it is only sound, that's not on stream, that's local.
Is there a widget URL for my alertbox to connect to for donations?
Widgets are parts of our overlays, so you need to create an overlay, add the widget (alertbox in that case) and then add the overlay to your OBS etc.
i have my own overlay and want to connect streamelement donations to my donation alerts
just looking for the URL for that
Basically the issue I have is I shoot my gun and the stream will show me shoot but the sound is like 3/4 secs out from the action of me shooting
You still need to get our overlays populated with your data and then install it.
In that case make sure to disable timestamps on audio and video devices in OBS first and test it.
If that does not help, then you can adjust latency for specific sources to sync those up manually.
Hello, my buddy is having an issue where OBS live will freeze
and crash during a stream. The stream itself would freeze, but OBS wont crash until he ends the stream
I opened my obs after installing streamelements on my computer and my obs screen display is white
This is not normal and not common. Was something changed right before it started? New update, new drivers etc?
No
Can you check OBS crash logs and spot something specific there?
At least not to my knowledge. Im confirming with him, but this also happened with streamlabs
It mentioned memory leak I think?
If that also happens with other software, then it is a bigger issue that needs investigating.
Saw that at the end of his log file data
I opened my obs after installing streamelements on my computer and my obs screen display is white
Let him reset the memory XMP/DOCP profile in the BIOS for the sake of testing and try to run it.
Where should I have him look at? He said he already checked drivers
that will cost a few % performance, but running the memory at default speed should eliminate all instability there.
ok
can i have help with this?
How do I go about disabling the timestamps?
Check the device settings for each Video source and game capture and the Audio device settings in the mixer.
Hey I just downloaded OBS live for my MacBook but I’m lost I never used this before, so how can make sure my welcome is at the actual size I can’t find it
bruh- your all ignoring me
Then Ctrl+F with the source selected.
I’ve done that. But it’s still looking like half the screen
We are not ignoring you, we are working here, it is weekend.
Restart your OBS with admin rights please.
Adjust the source size to the canvas size manually if Ctrl+F did not work.
Actually... could you tell us what you have in video tab of settings?
i restarted my computer and nothing changed
Where would I find that? I’ve tried the transform screen and preview scaling but nothing has worked
In OBS settings.
This is the current settings on at the moment
Got that. Any other recommendations on that screen?
That's the only obvious issue.
bruh i got to record can u help me??? and even if its the weekend you got 26 staff on and 2 staff are helping other people
My overlay is still looking liked it’s zoomed in though, is it normal to have it like that or do I need to set up the scene again?
Ctrl+F
and ur still helping people
And not all of the actual staff can help you.
That is not ssomething I can help with atm.
ok either way can u just help me?
Read my last message.
You need to understand that we can only help you if you follow the steps.
Have you restarted OBS with admin rights?
So what is the result?
I’ve done that, CTRL + F and it highlighted edit, I clicked on the source which is browser? I’m now on the beta version now as per advice
This might be an issue with the browser source in OBS. There is no specific fix for it.
@west lily
give me some time to help other people too and i can come back to it soon
Like i said i got to record in 10 minutes
And like i said, there are many people waiting and on weekends people actually want to have their well deserved weekend.
So my overlays are still zoomed in. Can some guide me on the properties on the overlay what the width and height would be?
@zinc zodiac 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

hmm so xmp if off, but the stream still froze.

Hi. If you deployed the fix, then you need to reconnect the custom bot name again to the account you wish to select (if that is different from your main account).
I set up a separate profile for my wife on my PC, we both use OBS, and for some reason on her PC profile OBS won't launch right, the program starts, but it doesnt show up, its only showing on the taskbar and wont come up when i click it
@nova scaffold the fix didnt work, did you read the last sentense?
This is our only fix we have for the custom bot function on OBS.Live.
You can try to remove the connection to StreamElements on Twitch on your 2nd account and set it up again
Last time I tried obs live and it shut down my obs, so I had to delete obs live and studio. Can someone tell me what to do when I install it again?
ugh nevermind ill reinstall it and show you a screenshot of what happens
I cannot login my facebook account in OBS. Please help.
Hello, How do I get Media Request to play my Epidemic Sound playlist while I stream on Twitch with OBS Live? Thanks!
Store redemptions not working. I logged out and in through obs already
Any kind of error/response when you try to redeem?
The text pops up but the gif and sounds don;t come up
Did they work when you tested in the overlay editor?
yes when i am in the editor and do it, it works in the editor
ok got it working in editor i reapplied the url to both my overlays
Does it show in OBS as well?
Hello,
I need help with my stream elements I'm having problem with the Docks in my OBS when I installed it I didn't get the Feed panel. any ideas how to fix it?
Thank you in advance
You should be able to get that by going to the StreamElements menu, on top of OBS > Activity Feed
I don't have a StreamElements Tap on my OBS
What kind of feed are you trying to view? In order to use ours, you'd need OBS.Live installed. If it's through OBS, you can try going to View > Docks and seeing if it's there.
I do have StreamElements OBS.Live installed on my PC but when I run it I still don't have the Tap
when I checked the Docks I don't see the activity feed for streamElements
when I added it from custom it's working fine but I don't get the viewer count
I would try to re-install OBS.Live, as it should be at the top of OBS.
I'm doing that right now
it's all good right now
I believe that I had a newer version of OBS which isn't compatible with StreamElements yet
@quick atlas Thank you
No problem!
Hello again. I'm still having issues with intermittent alerts. I've tried troubleshooting in all the ways I know how. Switched from 64 bit obs to 32 bit. Adjusted the browser acceleration setting. Cleared the cache in OBS. If I test the alerts in SE, they work, but they only sometimes work in OBS. I tried just doing the SE test and having the source open in a browser, but it still doesn't work consistently. Am I having some kind of disconnect accessing the browser source? I don't know what else to do. I've been trying to figure this out for weeks.
When I run OBS Studio my stream elements commands stop working. I dont know how to fix this...
Do you have a custom bot name?
Hey folks. I'm trying to trigger a asset with my streamdeck to appear on my stream. I'm massively confused on how to do it, the object is currently sitting in a group called "green screen".
@quiet skiff Elgato is not exactly my forte, so I'm afraid I cannot be much help here, I'd recommend you reach out to Elgato for assistance.
No worries.

how do i get overlays for obs?
@tender terrace 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
So my OBS is stuck in a update loop.. It updates, Opens.. Tried to update and closes itself.. updates.. opens... and loop infinitely...
Why?
oh and none of the features from StreamElements OBS shows up.. like my overlay is gone.. the panel on the side that shows activity is gone.. i cant even use it in this state
that aint right
i launched with the obs live icon and that opened
when i restart this opens but when i update it closes OBS then opens it back up and this shows up again and it cycles infinitely
ops i posted in the wrong chat.
Does anyone know why elements/obs wont work after the update? It keeps saying to reinstall to fix it (done this twice)
@rugged quail Hello. Do you think you would be able to help me with my issue?
I need some help. Everytime I open OBS, stream elements keeps making me update the same update.
I have this same problem
^^ literally what i just said
my interface has been wiped, my media share and alertbox on my interface is just gone when i tried to update with no option to add it back, it has also gotten rid of my stream title and notification settings box
@dreamy tendon @sinful stump @rugged quail did you guys update or are you choosing 'no' and it pops up again?
does it pop up again right away, or after a relaunch of OBS.Live?
