Will that allow me to use these overlays on my new twitch account? Media request and everything else?
@shut patio That's basically Ctrl+C & Ctrl+V with everything minus the data from the one account.
Oh wow thanks. Now out of curiosity, could I technically delete the twitch on the original stream elements account, then add it on the new twitch account?
This may be an old question answered before but why do my videos browser sources keep stopping in stream? I have them set to loop
Does the "import from other channels" work the same way in regards to importing the overlays from your previous channel?
This sounds like an OBS issue, unless you're talking about SE overlays.

Hello, I've been having trouble with my alert overlay. The sound is coming through but no image pops up as to who is following, subs, etc. How can I fix this? Please and thank you!
@river belfry 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
Perfect. i'll try that. Thank you so much!
Hi how do i use obs with a console?
Hey, is their a 'Game Overlay' that I Can use to stream on 1 moniter? And if so where? liek to see chat, and activity ect
@ashen salmon 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
ok thanks
that is not it ๐
oh
@rugged quail 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.

So i have a capture card set up with obs but i am not hearing anything on my stream

Hello everyone, I've been having issues with obs live. The chat has dissapeared
Whenever I try to start the virtual camera it cuts the audio out
What is going on?
Regarding the audio, I'm not sure, it sounds like an OBS issue and should probably be asked to OBS support.

Hm. So I am adding the Alert Overlay to OBS.Live but when I test it (Kappagen), the sizing seems to be off (the emotes are not in the frame). What's the right way to do this?

Hey my media request is playing two audio tracks so i now hear the audio from the media twice in my headset. it also delays. is there any way to fix this?
only when i click on show on stream and the display is on my screen/stream
@placid marsh how did you do the text "glitch effect" on the SimpleHUB witgets showcase video?
@storm zealot Currently renaming the bot fully works with OBS.Live.
You can follow this video guide to set it up: https://discordapp.com/channels/141203863863558144/494513233416421386/561516184718278676

@soft knot its a SE overlay I created and plug browser source into obs and it freezes after about 45 seconds or so all of the ones I have play from SE
how can I custom rename my twitch bot? Like UriBot instead of my SE name? @ocean rivet
(Also posted in #helpdesk-twitch ) I've been using Streamelements for a while for my streaming setup. Recently I made a new set of layouts and alerts to use with my stream however the alert sounds do not play on stream. The alerts will play in the overlay editor in the dashboard (when I emulate an event) IF i mute and unmute the audio for the editor. I've never had this problem before....how can I get the alert sounds to play on stream?
@rugged quail 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.

I think you're the one helping me through email so we'll continue the conversation there. Thank you for your help!
hey, I'm looking into your issue now
im not sure if this goes here, but when I update reactions in streamelements browser editor only some change while others dont in preview. Is this a known issue?
@rugged quail try now
they work now....awesome! what did you do to fix it? (aka...where did i screw up....lol)
there's a button to mute your alerts in your activity feed
no worries!
Any Ideas?
Hi, I'm having a few issues with the media request widget:
- The audio will double itself. I've checked the "close when not visible" option on all my browser sources, and I'm using the media request source in only 1 scene. I've determined the audio comes from the source on my stream AND the media request dock
- When I skip some songs they won't show up on the media request source
Also, sometimes a video will show up but it won't play.... but the audio will
hey, every time i try to update my obs this message apperas, and it happens for months now..
https://prnt.sc/10ommyw
im having trouble with my bot responding to commands and showing activity feed in chat
I'm trying to use a capture card and I'm getting nothing but a black screen
does anyone know how to do like a text slideshow? Im trying to get my session follower count and have it jump to session subs etc, how would i do this in OBSLive?
I'm in the process of switching over to streamelements from streamlabs and I was wondering how I can get my current followers and subscribers to show up. I imported from streamlabs but it only brought over my tips. I'm trying to set a sub goal but i don't want to start from 0
I wouldnt worry about this it probably just needs a little bit to sync
check back in like a couple days
okay thank you!
Hello - Running into some audio setting issues (at the moment what I do know is I have something wrong). Setting up elgato hd60s on obs. Utilizing PS5 (unsure what audio output device to select, hdmi device or astro mixamp pro), a40 tr mixamp, astro hdmi adapter (to incorporate optical cable from mix amp to ps5), 3.5mm from stream port to elgato audio port. At the moment I have mic/auxillary audio selected as "game capture hd60 s audio (game capture hd60 s)" and that is what is showing registering sound. The Elgato HD60s line in the audio mixer is g/y/r but doesnt generate any bars of audio. I have seen videos showing to have global audio devices all disabled and utilize just the elgato source but when only selected that as source with the paired global audio device nothing comes through. I am doing something incorrectly or does the global audio device need to be selected? Happy to provide any additional screenshots/settings needed!

On it, thank ya!
When I launch OBS, my media request widget shows that I have no queued playlist. I've checked and saved multiple times, and there is indeed a playlist there, and it is public.
Any idea how to fix this?
if it's any consolation, media request has been acting up for me too. first, the audio's were overlapping, now if I show the request on stream it won't autoplay, but will autoplay when i dont show it
now it's back to playing on its own ๐คฆโโ๏ธ
hi is their anyway to have my facebook chat show up while in game having only 1 monitor?
hello! No matter what i do , i cannot successfully transfer alerts from streamlabs to OBS, please help!! ๐ฆ
sorry , stream elements to OBS
Just to clarify, do you mean you are unable to add an alert/overlay source to OBS?
yes
my alerts are GIFS, i thought that was the problem. But then even when testing out the default alert icons, no success still
@simple edge you linked the alert overlay to the source as a browser correct?
yes , browser source then copy and pasted the link. It worked previously when i first experimented with it. Once i completed a layout , i tried transferring it over, but only my custom webcam frame successfully went through

can you show me a sccreenshot of your OBS set up? also have you set the res correctly?
all settings set to 1280x720, just to get the bare minimum working properly. This is after i've pasted the URL from stream elements, into Browser Source.
After that , only the border around my webcam will appear. After i save the page on Stream Elements, and test a mock Follow alert. It will only appear on SE, but not OBS still
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.
Hello! Where can i change my title before going live and what game im playing? Is this not an option? Right as i click "Start Streaming" it starts the stream with the old title and game.
@near hill you can use commands !setgame and !settitle
or through your OBS activity feed settings
hi all is anyone having problems with there bots all my commands and timers aint coming through
asking the same questions in multiple channels will not solve the issue
Sorted it you need to go into settings on twitch settings security and privacy got to the two factor Authentication edit it and go from there that how I solved it
When people are following my twitch, it does not pop up at my activity feed. How can i fix this?

Hi. I have tried googeling, but sadly not found anything about it. Is it possible to stream with OBS.live to multiple platforms at once?
StreamElements does not support multistreaming
oki thanks
OMG I am SO GLAD that I have moved over to Streamelements!!! I have added customised images and sound effects to ALL my different Alerts in my ALERTBOX... and only the Cheers doesnt work. It has saved the files but they dont play when im live. Anyone know how to fix this please?
Hey guys. Ive just started using StreamElements and looks ace
I Live Stream vis OBS and we bring in some dynamic elements from our Just Giving donation page (as we raise moeny for different charities) like progress bar etc.. is there a way to add this code in the streamelements overlay?
hey yall so i just got a new overlay setup id like to use on obs live but i cant figure out how to upload it/ import it
Where you got it?
fiverr
you got some link as streamelements.com/share/xxx?
i didnt get one no
and what you got?
wdym
" i just got a new overlay setup" - what you got? where?
i mean i got a bunch of overlays and banners and scenes
where?
from Fiverr
and what you got from there?
Sorry if there's a better channel for this but is there an event list that doesn't rotate and just shows all of the recent events? The advanced recent events widget seems to be what I want but I can't figure out how to get it to display more than a single event at a time. I must be missing a setting, right?
You cannot use default "Event list" widget? ๐
Where is that located? On https://streamelements.com/dashboard/themes the only thing with "Event list" in the name is the Holidays Event List. Is that it?
Or is this just something within OBS live?
@near hill @vast wren I'm having the same problem - i can change the title in the activity feed but how do i add all the tags , 'just chatting' is the only one that gets saved. in streamlabs it was easy but now i've moved over to obs.live/streamelements.... thanks for your help x
hi! i am new here and here is my problem: I added streamelements ground control to my OBS studio to allow my custom emotes into my commands. everything was working perfect. fast forward to 2 days ago, now when i type in my commands, none of them are working. If i type my commands in my twitch chat with OBS studio closed, it works. but the moment I open OBS, my commands are not responding.. been searching everywhere about what i could do but no luck. please help!
Ok so you got a bunch of custom widgets from Fivver. Got any instructions how to set those up with StreamElements?
no i have not
I see that you said before - you got multiple widgets etc and a logo from Fiverr, correct?
So those are usually custom
correct they are all custom
Does that not work with SE
It does work.
But you need to install them properly and set it up
if those were coded for Streamlabs, you need to adjust the code as it is not compatible.
How would i figure that out? Is this something you are able to guide me through on?
Well usually the widgets that you get from 3rd party have clear instructions how to use them.
need some help with figuring out my stream
Often including a share link
All i got was the source files
Then i suggest asking the creator of the source files if he has some information about it.
We can give you a quick idea how to use something on our end, but custom takes a lot of time - you need to understand how to use it.
They are all png. the creator said it is compatiable with SE. But when i go to import then import CSV which says i can import files. It doesnt import them
Import CSV is the wrong tool, that one is specific for CSV files with points etc.
You need to make an alertbox and other widgets (what you got the files for) and add the files to the overlay editor
We have a few guides here:

Hey CryonicTV do you have a moment to help or you still busy?
how do i put my self made overlay in my stream
trough obs live
i made it on streamelements
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
today i started streaming with obs live,i did an overlay and putted in obs and when i started a live stream i subbed from another account to see if the overlay works and it didn't neither the activity feed,it just didn't show anything,when i test it from the app though it does work but with real subs it dosen't, can someone help me?
On youtube?
There are some problems afaik
If it is not problem with privacy settings
See pinned messages in #helpdesk-youtube
oh i see
why am i being ignored...
is there a way to fix it?
Is there a way to have the sub goal widget persistently keep track of your total subs rather than resetting to 0 each time the widget is reloaded?
Hi there quick question: I just created an overlay using the web dashboard, saved and tested everything and the browser link looks totally fine (You can see all of the elements). When I put the link as a new browser source into my OBS Studio, it doesnt show anything. Attached is a screenshot, you can see at the bottom left that the source is visible and at the top. Any help is greatly aprreciated! (Also the preview inside obs also works perfectly)
try dragging the source to the bottom i think
still nothing :( I did work a few weeks ago but i had to reset my pc
i just thought maybe im forgetting sth

(considering u are talking about twitch), there is a total time sub counter
one thing u will need to be concerned about is that it will count forever, even when those subs lost their subs next month u will need to manually reset it in sessionData i guess
It worked! THANK YOU SO MUCH!
its not a userside problem, its an issue with youtube API in their end.
I wouldn't mind manually updating it if that's the case. Where would I find this? I'm just using the default Sub Goal widget right now.
is it for old users too? because there is a streamer i like using obs.live an his alerts are fine
sessiondata is located in the middle of the three buttons in editor in top right screen side
the widget i would insert all sub goals until u find the one that looks like the totals of your channel, its the best way to find the one that suits your need
So theoretically I would edit the Subscriber Count under "Session Data" to be the current number and it'll be accurate next time I go live? Because as it is now in the preview editing the number doesn't change anything after saving it.
all subgoals doesn't change when u edit the values? (thats why i said u to add all of them and check the one that suits you)
Oh I got it! Changing the "Subscription goal progress" under "Goals" is waht I needed. Duh lol. Thank you for helping โค๏ธ
Hello, my stream still lagging, i have good internet and good pc
@waxen mirage 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.

Hey guys! I'm unsure where to ask this but I just started streaming and of course using streamelements stream to Facebook Gaming. I have obs.live installed on my macbook pro. I have 2 questions, (sorry if these are noobs questions, still fairly new to this all lol.) How do I create a chatbot? I tried to youtube it but I don't seem to have the settings in my streamelement profile and the second question is what settings should I change in order to get the playback of my game play to be brighter? It seems too dark. Do I change a settings on my PS4 or a settings in obs.live? Thank you in advance.

Hello, I just had a problem during my stream where my video encoder was not keeping up with my game play. The FPS kept dropping to under 30 when I was easily getting higher than 60 in my game. I was getting a error message at the bottom saying it was over loading and i should turn down the video settings but I have streamed that game and the same settings for months and had no problems. Plus turning the settings down in both game and OBS did nothing to help. I checked my hardware and there were no issues. I use my CPU only to encode and it was well under the max temp and never went as high as 50% usage. What should I do that I can have everything working by tomorrow?

Hey guys, I don't really know which channel I should ask but after searching through this channel I think it's the right place.
So I'm now using Ground Control over OBS.Live, but the custom bot name feature is missing, could you please enable that for me ? Thanks !
Here my user ID : "5c15555aa19be6e7a7dd4a3b" 
done 
I checked my hardware tho. Temps were good. Usage was good. And I message with the FPS settings in both game and in OBS but nothing changed. It was working fine 2 days ago. And I haven't and any problems with anything else.

Hi guys, hope your well, my obs is not picking up my desktop audio, anyone know a fix
@grave horizon 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
This is what I see when I play. I was getting over 100 Fps in game but my OBS FPS would drop as low as 28. I have it set to record at 50. And then that error message pops up under my chat.
Hey All - I have a weird issue, which is breaking my streams. - Essentially, after a few mins of streaming, the chat and the activity feed stops loading/refreshing data, so the latest chat messages don't show, same with activity. If I click the "OBS Live" window, it freezes for 10 seconds or so, and then refreshes to show all of the missed chat and activity - Tried updating OBS Live, uninstall/reinstall - Same issue, any suggestions?
set your fps ingame to 60 and check obs again, just for testing purposes
Hello, i've lost my statics panel with live viewer count etc. and now i can't find it anywhere
Okay just figured out that it's beneath the activity feed
@ocean rivet Just tested the the breaking up and frames when recording was even worse then with over 100 frames.
@ocean rivet Now here is something interesting. I Have been running my tests to find a solution in Rainbow 6 Siege and Apex Legends. Having problems with both. But when I try Sea of Thieves I dont have any issues.
my guess is that your cpu is not able to handle the encoding, are you using x264 or nvenc to stream?
x264. My graphics card isn't Powerful enough to handle the encoding. Whats strange is that I have recorded and streamed those games before and done even more demanding ones.
what graphics card you have?
it should be able to handle the nvenc encoding just fine
Well when I first started stream it didnt due to well i can test again due too current prblems
well it works but I have to lower my ingame settings to free up some of a graphicsa card.
competitive games are usually played best with low settings anyways
Hi! can someone tell me why the chatbot often doesn't work? is there a way to "activate" it manually?
are you using a custom bot name?
yes+
@viral peak 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

not sure, I haven't seen any reports myself but you could try reinstalling or even trying the beta version

@full thunder , I tried that and didn't work.
Anyway to remove profiles without having to delete your account?
There is no easy way to unlink 2 owner-type accounts from each other. The only way is to make a closure request from here: https://streamelements.com/dashboard/account/security
WARNING: In submitting a closure request, all linked channels within the account will be deleted and you will lose all associated data. This includes overlays, custom commands, timers and past data (tips, subs, etc). You can still reconnect with the deleted account, but you are essentially starting fresh.
Is there a way to have a command and it pull a random response from a list in a text file?
Hey, I've seen that I can use Ground Control instead of the OBS Live plugin to change my bot name, but apparently I need to ask for this on the Discord? I'm kinda confused ๐
My Twitch username is DanjiTheBear
done

@lyric herald you can use something like this: https://thefyrewire.com/docs/api/twitch/pastebin/

@full thunder - Hey All - I have a weird issue, which is breaking my streams. - Essentially, after a few mins of streaming, the chat and the activity feed stops loading/refreshing data, so the latest chat messages don't show, same with activity. If I click the "OBS Live" window, it freezes for 10 seconds or so, and then refreshes to show all of the missed chat and activity - Tried updating OBS Live, uninstall/reinstall - Same issue, any suggestions?
Thanks ^^
@exotic tundra have you tried using just OBS Studio?
@shy mountain - No, I assumed I had to use obs live with stream elements:P
Well OBS.Live is a plugin for OBS Studio
the idea here is to see if OBS Studio also freezes on you after you stream for X amount of time
๐
OBS Studio also has its integration chat dock
so you can use that to keep track of chat, but for full events, you can pop out the activity feed from the website
so the custom bot name worked for about 4 days
@echo quest "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."
then it died, and kept spamming the "i'm ready and working" message nonstop even through a ban
so it's supposed to say Promise {<pending>}?
Excuse me, how to I get out of thew stream elements beta update? I am stuck in an update loop. I do not know where to look.
so is the custom bot name SUPPOSED to die every few days?
i've done that twice now
if the issue continues, something is wrong with the twitch token we get
is it because the acc in question is super old?
as in, change the bot account's password
and make sure it has 2FA just in case
that might make it break so often, even with the hard reset instructions
kk
@dreamy tendon You can choose which branch to use by clicking on Streamelements on top of OBS -> OBS.Live Versions -> change the version
alrighty
i'll use my password manager to give it sometihng that is unpronounceable by human tongues
you can use the same phone number for 2FA on different twitch accounts
i have 2FA on my own bot account as well and it shares the same phone number as my main account
so i can keep the password if i add 2fa?
also it asks me to get a code from my email eachj time i log in anyways
as the twitch token usually gets reset when a password is changed
can't say if it gets reset when 2FA is added
@shy mountain Thank you for getting to my question. I should have mentioned that the update loop got rid of stream elements so it's just obs studio now. Any other solution?
I'm confused. What update loop are you getting exactly?
Stream elements is asking to update. I click yes, obs needs to be closed, I close it, update goes through but stream elements is missing. So the update is not actually working.
Right, try using the installer from here: https://obs.live
OK. I changed the password and added 2FA to both my main account and my bot account
@shy mountain This method didn't work. It brings me into the update loop.
Go to control panel -> programs -> uninstall OBS.Live from there
start OBS Studio
and tell me what version you see on the top left of it
My version is 26.0.2
Did you remove OBS.Live?
Yes
go here: https://obsproject.com/ -> download 26.1.1 -> install -> use our installer afterwards
This has worked it seemed, thank you~
So im still absolutely stumped, im trying to make my custom bot name, i have a 2nd twitch account with the name i want. But whenever I go authorize nothing happens, like it just doesnt do anything and it doesnt show up as a name option. Ive tried authorizing it over 17 times... Im so frustrated
@leaden turtle "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)

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."
If you don't have OBS studio installed, you won't be able to remove OBS.Live
as its trying to replace something that is no longer there
during the uninstall process
ah, ok, so I'll have to reinstall OBS?
yes
I'm not allowed to give my bot a custom name with out a second twitch account as the name I want?
You'd have to have the login information for it yes.
Oh that's sad. Thank you
HI, I am trying to set up my OBS b ut I am getting an audio loop but there is nothing playing, I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask for help but, it would be much appreciated
@vale mirage Make sure to ballot_box_with_check: โShutdown source when not visibleโ for all browser sources (all OBS scenes).

Hello, it says I keep failing to connect? It disconnected mid stream
@grave spire 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.
So it's my internet?
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.

Does anyone ever put a compressor filter on their Game Audio in OBS?
When I try to emulate alerts, the "custom" menu the amount field defaults to -1. Any way to fix that?
I also can't customize the amount of subs gifted in a community gift alert.

If you stream to twitch, use the !twitchtest command and do a connection test to your regional servers.
Would you be able to share a screenshot of that custom field?
As you can see, 'amount' defaults to -1, which means you have to edit it every time you go to emulate a custom alert from the 'Emulate' menu
And the 'amount' field does not change the amount of subs gifted, if you select 'Community gift'. It is random every time.
Hey I need some simple assistance @here . How do I go about adding a browser source to my streamelements overlay?mm
I'm using OBS.live
Actually, the same is the case for the 'Emulate tip event' menu. "Amount" defaults to -1
Lmk
Anyone
@elfin wasp 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
The amount defaulting is part of the design of the emulation, as if you don't want to do custom you can just use the quick selection. I tested on my end and the custom emulation was displaying the number of subs I input. Would you be able to record the screen of the behavior you see?
@full thunder , I did that one thank you sir . What I'm wondering is if I can add a browser source to my streamelements overlay . per example gamepad viewer source . Add that link to my overlay and have it show up on OBS

So I was able to get it started but when it went to launch this message popped up @quick atlas

all good, found my issue
@quick atlas I have to do another reset because it will not let me uninstall the applications. Should I download You'll need this: https://www.techpowerup.com/download/visual-c-redistributable-runtime-package-all-in-one/ prior to the obs live download?
Yes, go ahead and install that first
I had clicked the file and downloaded but it didnโt give me an option to install
i'm still getting the same message
the vc installer or obs installer?
I got the vc installer to run as an admin and installed all the software and then when running obs installer I got the error message failed downloading installation packet.
Can you try going through the steps that got you here?
Hello! Does making the bot's name your own name stop working after you enable two-factor authentication on Twitch? Because I just got affiliated and enabled 2FA and now it won't use my name as the bot's name and it has gone back to StreamElements instead. I've tried to change it multiple times, but the test message button doesn't produce a test message in chat and it won't work. Can anyone help please? ๐ฅบ
@hexed sentinel 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

Hey guys,
I have a problem in obs live that after I updated it it won't open anymore
Does anyone know what it can be, to help me solve it?
hey
so
my obs.live chat isnโt working, and my bot isnโt working / not finding my stream, so me and my chat canโt use streamelements commands anymore, the only thing that probably has to do with it , is the fact that I recently changed nicknames on twitch, but I donโt think it should have that much power on obs.live

Having problems getting a second overlay I created to work. I need two for newer 16:9 games and one for older 4:3 games. Any ideas?? (OBS and TWITCH)
probably a common question but i just streamed to youtube and now i want to stream to twitch instead. i change the settings to twitch and autoconnect my account, but when i click on start streaming, it presents me with the youtube dashboard.... any solution for this?
@meager geyser StreamElements menu, on top of OBS > Logout > Login
I even deleted the second overlay and created another.... thinking the URL was corrupted or something. Still won't work. The other overlay works just fine, no matter what scene I may move it to. S.E. simply won't let me use a second overlay. ANYONE know why???
If people do !watchtime then there stands 0 seconds of watchtime, how to fix this?
@gentle musk 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.
I downloaded streamlabs and then uninstalled and when i try to install it again it doesnt work, please help
you might want to ask them and not streamELEMENTS
Oke, and is there a way I can turn off the points but that there is only watchtime?
I just tried one of the "pre-fabbed" overlays and it worked fine. Just wondering........ Are people limited to just one overlay in the "Personal" category?
nope, themes are free to use
Yes but, I'm not able to use more than one that I have created from the "Personal" category. Trying to find out why.
what happens when u try to use more then one?
The first one I create works as it should. The SECOND one I create doesn't.
i keep my question
i cant get chat window open on obs live
@rugged quail StreamElements menu, on top of OBS > Logout > Login
nvm i found it actually it was View > Docks> chat remember that for next time
OK..... Let me rephrase the question. How many overlays can you create and use as a OBS Browser source??? Of course, only ONE per scene.
Has anyone been able to figure out how to fix the Media Request widget?
I asked a few days ago and havenโt gotten a response yet.
unlimited until your PC crash
can u ping the old question or re explain it for me please?
@karmic grotto Yeah. It's showing that I have no playlist queued but I double checked and there is, indeed, a playlist and it's public. Not sure how to fix it.
Is there a reason my streamelements overlays (followers, chatbox, countdown) just stop working? I managed to fix them for a brief period but when I emulate them from within OBS live itself none of them show up
my media request wont show up, even in the preview of my widget. i even went through the whole video tutorial and when i click "show on stream" nothing happens.
these two images were taken at the same time
if it matters, i just went through a name change after getting partnered
LOL. i just fixed it. im so sorry for anyone already trying to solve
FIXED
Not getting channel point redemptions in the activity feed in obs anymore. Any reason way?
I keep getting a black flicker on obs. Anyone know how to fix this?

Hello OBS-Live team!
I am having massive dropped frames and a degraded bitrate that went from 6k last night to less then 2k now..60fps to 20 fps, I ran this test and here is what it showed
looks like NY is best based on that result:
I can see that, but that does not tell me why this same test 2 days ago would result in bandwidth ~6k not ~2k
From the article I read in the other channel regarding dropped frames, it is my isp I need to speak with
Can you verify that?
And its "impossible" for OBS to cause dropped frames
That test isn't using OBS; that's a bandwith tester
I'm just trying to learn about it enough to speak inteligently if I have to discuss this with my isp hehe
you can also try the inspector for Twitch; https://inspector.twitch.tv/
I did
same thing
I'm capping around 2k, the stream starts at 6k then seconds later it drops to 2k
and becomes unstable
ya; that could be an ISP thing (i know for me, i have Comcast and the first 10mb or so is high bandwith then it tanks to what they want).... can you run that test for like 5 seconds duration and see?
bandwith one that you post screen shot above.
gotcha, I'll set it to 5 seconds
my guess is it starts high for the first X amount of data then is getting limited
...but no idea why that would have changed
could that be a new system Spectrum has developed?
or implemented?
nah dont answer that, I'll call them on monday, not going to get help on saturday night or sunday
I have some reasonable information to go on to discuss with them, thanks so much for the guidance
Was getting "excellent" 6k 60fps streams for 5 hours a day up until this morning
I'll run these same tests on a secondary pc and see if I can rule out hardware issues
g'night 
good luck.
...i was just checking my setup and it was at 2k as well until i started putting video content into the overlay. (so it was at 2k just sitting normal and jumped when stuff started going on) ... not sure if you tested that @silent veldt
mine is jump over a cliff @distant breach and diving into a bottomless fps pit lol I consistently had 6k steadily for my daily 5 hour stream for months at 60 fps 1080
not sure what happened, I need to run this test on another pc to rule out hardware failure
๐คฃ ... ya; I check mine like once every 2 or 3 months; so i'm not a great help for OBS, i just know the tools to use. Nothing has changed SE or OBS wise that would affect it. So it would have to be a hardware thing or ISP. Or game title is possible to cause issues if you started a new game?
Is there a specific person I can message so I can link my facebook and twitch streamelements profiles?
^ see #helpdesk-twitch
how do I know if my overlay is active or not before i stream
If you can see it in OBS, it's active. Try changing it and saving and emulating alerts, you should see things happening in OBS.
is high bitrate good? and what does it do?
bit rate is ... basically the amount of 'bits' in your stream; the better the quality of the stream the more bitrate needed.
you can see example here: https://stream.twitch.tv/encoding/
is 7k bit rate good?
if you want 1080p @ 60fps then 6k is recommended for Twitch
i get 7k when i stream at 1080p
7k is more than good; but if Twitch or whatever platform you use is only rebroadcasting at 6k then you are over shooting.
for 1080 60fps; i believe so, based on that link above. Not sure about 4k tho
ok thanks
my overlay is not showing up on my stream preview what do I need to do to make it show up
Did you properly set it up as a browser source in OBS?
Copy the URL from the overlay editor, then add it to the browser source in OBS. Make sure to set the source resolution to match the overlay canvas size (usually 1920x1080).
okay i got the overlays working. I was wondering if there was a way to use game capture to capture a game that isn't automatically detected. I have a game that doesn't work with game capture and was wondering if I could make it work with game capture or just settle for display capture and look at chat off of another device
Window capture might work, if it's not full screen.
Hey guys.. Godd Day.. I just installed Streamelements for my stream.. I can't see my Stream chat in my UI.. how can I add it into my UI?? Thankss!
Hey, what platform are you streaming on?
Does anyone have any info on OBS Live for Linux, kinda need them alerts
@regal mica you actually don't. Simply add the link for the browser source.
But there's no plans to my understanding.

Hello I have an issue with Hosts and Raids showing {Count} on my alert and not the number when I get hosted or raided. Anyone know a fix, works fine when I test it but when live it doesn't.
Good morning, i just swapped from SLOBS to OBS.SE .. but i have a problem. I imported everything but the alertbox is not working, i hear the right sound but i can't see the gif. In the overlay editor is everything used but in the preview not shown, what am i doing wrong?
@brisk axle 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

To explain more, i use the standart Bit alert animation, that is working completly fine, the custom gif animations for followers/subs/donations are not working
can you shaืจe screen shot of your OBS source and scene settings?
I'm kinda confused about the imported alertbox and building it new by hand in SE, that is working, so .. problem solved ๐
ok then
Good morning, when I play media request, it also comes through desktop audio, creating an echo for my twitch viewers. Muting desktop audio solves the problem, but then they can't hear my sound clips and other audio that comes through desktop audio. Is there a way to deal with this so that my media request doesn't also come through desktop audio?
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/364869138809618432/815892834841264138/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:
how do i add !command, it doesnt work for me if i type !command !rank etc etc
@uneven estuary are you using a custom or streamelements bot?
streamelement bot @vast wren
have you activated the '!commands' in the chat commands?
@uneven estuary Please provide further detail, are you basically saying no commands are working for you right now?
@vast wren how do i do that
@rugged quail sorry was on the phone for a sec
@vast wren think i got it now thanks
hello all
i have a bit of an issue, the last 2 times i streamed the bot didnt activate its chat commands, is there a reason y this is (unsure if its my end or if there is a bug in the system)
any suggestions
can you please clarify what youre trying to do and what youre getting?
!charity and that should trigger Hello and welcome to my channel, i am an affiliate streamer with a difference. All my streams are for charity, meaning all donations go to a charity. If you are able, and would like to contribute please feel free to donate here: https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/gnattervid1 thank you but its not working at all unfortunately and its the same with any ! command
sorry think i habe worked it out, i had asked the bot to change its name to Gnattervid and that doesnt seem to have made it work but changing it back to streamelements seems to have solved it so sorry
Is there a option just like in Streamlabs OBS that if you go live that there will be automatically a post that I am live?
Social media tab on the dashboard. Tab towards the bottom.
Thanks!
how can i logout of my twitch account on obs?
Iโm a Mac user and just downloaded the new OBS.live for Mac. Now I canโt get my streamelements overlays to load into OBS. They still work if I use OBS without the plug in but not with the plug in. I can refresh my scene and get the overlay to show up but as soon as I swap scenes the overlays disappear again.
@rugged quail what's the version on the titlebar?
What are you wanting to do? You can change the stream Key in preferences or you can delete the twitch profile under profiles. But deleting profiles would lose your scene set ups.
OBS 26.1.2
I'm fairly certain this is a known issue on Mac..the only way to "fix" it is to disable the hide when not visible option in the properties.
Thank you! Does that put extra strain on the computer since all the scenes are running?
It can but the less animations the less of a worry there is.
I have a problem with starting the live, despite being connected to the twitch account and the live platform does not start. How can I fix it??
Good Morning all! I tried googling the answers to this, but couldn't find it based off the search of "Failed Importing Scene Collection" or "SLOBS to OBS.Live importing scene collection errors". Any advice on what I may be doing wrong?
Anyone have any experience with games crashing when OBS is active. Rust crashed when both OBS Live and Rust are running at the same time. I currently have 16gb of ram and I am unsure as to what is causing the issue? I don't have the issue at all with any other game. I currently have a RTX 3070 and a Ryzen 9 3900X
Disregard. I didn't know I could import from local files. So that worked without reliance on the SLOBS to OBS.Live connection.
hi I have a problem with the start of the streams, when I press the start stream button it starts on obs but not on twitch and I tried to uninstall and reinstall the app but it did not resolve despite all the twitch data are there and are inserted correctly.
Hi. Meybe some one know work around for win 10 monitor cloning/second monitor bug with difrent hz? Noticed elgato hd60 pro mesing with my 144hz same way my secondary monitor did also 60hz.
How can I import my overlays into obs?
@orchid light 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 cant go live its saying NVENC-CODECS Unknow error occurred
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.
@fleet lark ^
where to send ?
OBS cant hook into your GPU drivers for some unknown reason, more then likely due to a missmatch in versions/corruption --> follow this guide and it should work https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/performing-a-clean-gpu-driver-installation.65/
If you're experiencing strange issues or errors that might be related to your GPU drivers, one of the easiest potential fixes is a clean driver installation. Follow the instructions below.
- Download the latest version of Display Driver...
i done this
You followed every single step on that guide, to a T?
yes
Type DxDiag in the Run Window.
Press Enter.
Navigate to the tab listed as Display 1.
The driver version is listed under the Driver section as Version.```
Once you find your driver version send a screenshot of it (or type it) here
You have a 760, correct?
gpu ?
Yep
no rtx 2070 super
Resend your OBS log
I.. was looking at the wrong OBS log the entire time
Gimmie one second ๐
haha ^^
Also there isnt anything in a OBS log that cant be posted here, for future reference
Immediate guess would either be a function similar to Shadowplay is using NVENC and OBS cant link in, or a windows update broke something within nvidea's software
If you used DDU to fully remove/reinstall your GPU driver and its still not working might be a question best fit for the OBS discord
Its quite important in this step that you used https://www.wagnardsoft.com/ to remove your driver.
If you didnt I would suggest doing as such and trying one last time
i think that was it
i found the error
the scaling was on
so i done this
in settings - output, turn OFF the scaling option
Hey all, looking for some help, im trying to change my stream elements settings in OBS and it wont allow me to change anything because it says there is a live output but i cant find it? nothing is live? i recently reinstalled Gforce Experience for the game filters. but there is nothing there thats capturing the screen either. i'm trying to go live soon so any help would be incredibly appreciated.
can u screenshot the error box @hybrid harness ?
@karmic grotto hey man so I fixed the issue. Turns out the virtual cam was screwing me up. I'm having issues viewing my stream thru operagx on twitch tho. I'll swap to that channel to further explain the issue.
Hey would anyone be able to help me figure out how to stream obs without dropped frame rate and good video quality at the same time ? If I change one the other is bad vice versa
@strong fern 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.
Neither of those links will work.
It wonโt let me copy
Ok thatโll fix it ?
Might, if it doesnt then its more then likely your internet.
Ok thank you
has the issue with browser sources not loading unless you check the 'shutdown source when not visible' box been corrected or had any better workarounds yet?
Help?
Accidentally deleted an overlay - is it gone forever?
Hey i'm trying to use stream element Theme from the theme gallery for an overlay in stream labs OBS can someone help me. cause i don't know where to put the links it gives me
I have some animated Overlays for my Channel, I am trying to use the editor for streamelements. For some reason the animated overlay arent showing.
i have troubles with setting a custom bot account. im logging in, my bot acc shows a connection to streamelements in his settings, but nothing happens?
Go to your bot, and disconnect him then reconnect him
no chance, nothing happens.
@fringe gulch Did you log out, and log back in, then do it?
jup, same: se bot works, i can change it to my streaming acc, but not to my bot acc
Never mind. I have resolved my issue
Question, do I used multiple scenes, or multiple Sources?
Like making a starting scene, or a intermission scene.
is my problem maybe following this problem: i get an error on authentication message :status_error invalid refresh token (http 400)
So I never made a bot account, But I did see a video on how to make a bot account.
on youtube.
yes, i tried on every scene
yeah, i used these videos too, and everything goes right, until the popup window after the account synchronisation popup window closes

Do other overlays work for him?
i can ask him one sec
Ask him to check this:
@hollow wolf 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
its a built in template and it is full screen already
i invited him he can explain it all
Good, better like that. ๐

Are other overlays showing for you?
no

Hi!
Everytime I try to connect a account for custom bot, nothing happens. I login and authorize, but then I just get back to this screen without any connection. Someone know how I can fix that?
@warm plover you choose the 3rd option?
3rd from what? the "set custom bot name" bar?
Should have 3 options usually: streamelements, your name and the one indicated from the pic.
oh, yes! I choose the 3rd one
You trying to use yureees?

@wheat kindle it's probably going to be one of these that fixes it for you.
no! I'm trying to add another one
"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."
its fixed thx
it works!!!!! thank you very much! โค๏ธ
Hi folks so I got the request song working on the main stream elements website but not on obs live it keeps saying invalid YouTube url any ideas. Thanks

with !songrequest or !sr and then link to the video
Thank you
I have my chat opened in just a chrome browser because on one way it is easier for me. But is it possible that if i open up OBS Live that the chrome browser with the chat is open up too?
Yes, you can be in chat on your channel in your browser and in OBS.Live too.
No what i mean is if I startup OBS that then automatically the chrome browser with the chat is starting up too
So if I press OBS Live that the browser will startup too
I don't think OBS.Live supports that, but why not just start it up yourself?
Yes that is possible hahahah, but i was just wondering. Thanks for your time!
hi I am having issues with you widget data goals. When I manually change the widget data it will not change on my widget. When I enter the widget under my overlays it shows that it has changed but I have to leave it and re-enter to get it to show the change. I have tried removing and re-adding the widget still not working.
I have Amount from goal data selected but I cant manually update them via widget data
@cinder sable 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.
no I am afraid its still the same. If I close and re-open Overley Editor or Streamelements OBS.live it will change but it wont change when they are open
quick question. i have edited an overlay, but now idk how to apply that to my stream. #FeelsStupidMan
@rough pelican 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

Good morning Support.
I use OBSLive, and had a custom bot account attached. Yesterday the bot quit working. I have gone into the activity feed > settings > Set custom bot name. It does not show one attached, and will not attach one, though it does take me through the login verification. Test message never lights up, bot not attached.
I have: Verified tip panel, verified overlay connection, disconnected and rejoined channel with StreamElements from website dashboard (inc logging out and logging in while disconnected from channel). None of these things helped.
The only correlation or causation I can find is the new banner ad within OBSLive on the activity feed for the "Streamer, you have a new sponsored stream invitation!" but don't see why that would cause this. It is the only change I am aware of though.
Appreciate any help, thanks!
Also, I am able to change it to the channel name, but not the other account I created to make a custombot
I also have problems with it. My custom bot do work but I also have a SE bot, so I have two bots in my channel, and I have no idea how to get rid of the SE bot.
can anyone help me? ':P I'm really noob at this plugin
Hello guys, i have a question, so i have dual screen yeah. when im streaming, the obs will show the messages, notification and the screen itself that its recording. Now , when it is showing the screen my fps drops. i know the solution here is to not make obs showing on screen but i need to see the comments and the notification. Is there a way to make the screen that is recording not appear on obs?
Hi Support, when ever I startup OBS I get a message saying failed to authenticate with Twitch. Anyways to fix this?
hello my donation/tip alert is not showing up. I have everything connected through streamelements for the tipping. but then the next hr or so it pops up in the activity feed and still no alert but i can reply the alert from there. i have now missed 3 tips ranging from $5-$100 and would of loved to thank them on stream when it happened ๐ฆ how do i get this fixed? or can we test to see if it is just cause we have to wait for paypal to clear first?
I have a problem with my chat bot. It keeps on joining double, so I have both my custom named chat bot, and the regular streamelements chat bot in my channel. How do I get rid of the standard chat bot?
@clever flame that is normal. At least in the 3 years I've been doing this, I always have both in my chat list as mods.
oh sad face ๐ฆ
When you disconnect PayPal you lose custom chatbot name? I'm using SE.Pay so I don't understand why I'm being forced to add PayPalโone of the features and reasons I moved to StreamElements.
funny, because I never hooked mine to paypal but I do have a custom bot name
How did you edit bot name?
I don't know. In the settings. But it says I am connected to paypal but that is impossible since I don't have paypal.
@sage lodge custom bot name has nothing to do with you tipping settings
The only videos I found in editing my bot name shows that one must setup SE to edit bot name, part of that setup is tipping
Whether using Ground control or OBS.Live
so yeah that's a pre-requisite
my bad, i forgot
if you don't have SE tipping anymore it could stop working
So then tipping is required for Bot name changes
no worries
I have SE.Pay, not PayPal, but cannot change bot name
PayPal is 100% required for me on OBS.Live (mac) to edit bot name. I already when through the steps, removed PayPal, and now My bots name is StreamElements again
it shouldn't matter, as long as your tipping link is linked on you twitch page with a panel it should be good and considered an active tipping page
mmmm
can't be sure about mac tbh
but
still applies
as long as the tipping link is active it should work
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
try this, and if that doesn't help, this -
"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."
but again, with mac it could be a bit different and I can't 100% be sure everything will work the same. it is chrome though - so I'd imagine it should help with resetting it if needed
This worked! Thank you! Will I need to do this daily?
Do you two also have both your custom bot and the normal bot in your channel?
No, just 1 bot responds
then how do I get the Streamelements bot to leave so I only have my custom bot?
IDK, did you add the bot with steps above?
No I will try that
I also added the bot username as super mod in "user management"
I don't understand step 2
step four doesn't work. Says "This site can't be reached"
- Click on Stream Settings > Custom bot name
There were 2 instructions do the first one
I see, bot rename only works when OBS.Live is open
The second step is no in Stream settings, that's in the actualy shortcut
I don't understand half of that solution.
2: I have done that.
4: It says that the site can't be reached
5-6: I don't even see the Console tab anywhere.
9: I don't know what a flag is
how can i mute only chrome audio on vods? i use voicemeeter
So can I play music through obs and mute the game volume when I stream. Thanks
does anyone else have the issue, after installing the streamelements plugin for OBS, that it messes up the font for other docks? (left with streamelements installed, right without)
Sorry if this is the wrong channel but I don't see one for overlay help/questions and this seems to be the most fitting one. I'm wanting to make an events list similar to the one pictured (different text colors, so basically the same). I believe this is one of or at least similar to one of Streamlabs' default options but obviously being on StreamElements that doesn't help a lot. Is there a way to make the pictured event list without delving into CSS? Specifically having the events have different test color/background opacity depending on how recent they are
hey! do i need to have the stream elements overlay editor webpage open for tts to work? I cant get tts to work without it???
The first post by bot only has 6 steps. Please see the first post above (not the second) and try that
my problem is not that my bot doesn't work, but that I have two bots.
need a quick fix for my issue
so browser source
i want my browser source to show this
but instead it shows this
how do i fix this
need help quick as im streaming in 30
yeah, my misunderstanding, I thought you were looking into how to setup the botโincase your original setup was done incorrectly.
I'll just have to keep looking ๐

Is there a way to remove an account from the custom bot settings? I created a new account I want to use and cannot figure out how to clear the old one/replace it. Thanks
@frosty jolt If your commands recently stopped working and you're using OBS.Live and a custom bot name do the following:
- In OBS.Live, click on the hamburger menu (three stripes) at the top left of your activity feed
- Click on Stream Settings > Custom bot name
- In the Custom bot name field select Set custom bot name, not your already existing username (with capital letters). Note: If you already connected an account that way, the third entry will show as the account name (see image https://i.imgur.com/sO7fWOX.png).
- Scroll a bit down and click on the purple Connect Custom Bot Account button
- Log in as usual and Authorize the custom bot name
- Back in the Activity feed, click on the Send Test Message button and check if your custom bot name starts working again
Should be the option to remove it from there.
perfect, thank you!
Hey! Trying to switch from Streamlabs to OBS. How do I get my follower/subscriber/cheer info added to Stream Elements? Right now there's no data shown
Is there a way that you get a notification in your mail for exaple if you can wihtdraw your money?
If you recently signed up with us, past data won't be retroactively retrieved from Twitch or Streamlabs.
- wrong channel
- what type of withdraw?
The donation withdraw from SEPay
this is def. not related to OBS.Live, but no, there is no email notification of when you can withdraw from SE.Pay
Anyone have an issue where stream disconnects and reconnects several times a night? Internet and router and both working fine. I'm at a complete loss? Any infor or suggestions would be ideal
@storm holly 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.
it was this stream that crashed. here is the report
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.
did you get this sorted as mine is now doing the same.
Check the link i posted
thank you will check now x
It doesn't give me a reason for the stopping and starting unfortunately @shy mountain any other suggestions
i cant replicate it as it crashes/disconnects at different times each time. sometimes a few hours in between. Next stream i will make sure i get the link for the logs if i can however obs automatically restarts for me.
where is says start stream - disconnecting - reconnecting around 30sec later.
I don't understand where you mean
when you say "it crashes", does OBS actually crash, as in close out completely?
no just the stream. OBS says - disconnecting where the stop stream button usually is.
sorry if im confusing
I see
@storm holly Obs.live is a plugin for OBS Studio for the best OBS support, please join their Official Discord @ discord.gg/obsproject
thank you very much
Hello. I copy the link from Streamelements to my obs64 and it gets one corner of the screen, not the full browser link overlay. What am I doing wrong?
@torpid aurora 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
Ok.. Thank you! ๐ Hugs!
How is it that after I update OBS.live (via the update popup in OBS) no traces of streamElements are anywhere in my OBS installation??
And also OBS takes legit like 5 minutes to start after the update
selam

You can do with restream
Hello does anyone have an idea, why my obslive is taking up to 48GB of RAM? It seems like it crashes sometimes, but runs further and the i get this huge amount of RAM - usage?
Hi. That should not happen in general. Can you check that it uses that amount right from the start?
it doesn't like i said its really strange. The Preview screen stops then loads again and my RAM is getting this usage after time. Seems like RAM is not deleting cache or something. Runs smooth with other streamsoftware, but i want to use SE. or OBSLIVE...
i already reinstalled obsstudio and deleted the registry keys
Sounds more like something is filling in your cache, you are still using the same old scene and source collection after reinstall?
Try disabling sources one by one to find out if that is the issue.
You can also refresh the cache of the browser sources manually - check if that does something
Guys i am looking to create a widget based using stats from my warzone profile. The numbers are in a txt file, but unsure how to add this to a rotating widget. I hope this makes sense
Why not just use the data in OBS locally? Adding local data to our overlay is not possible, we would need an API to grab the data from.
While OBS can grab data from TXT directly
The file is added to the API
What i mean is the file is generated from the SBMM websites APi
We can't really help with coding custom widgets, but that API is your target - the widget should aim at this and not at the local file.
hi I am still having issues with you widget data goals. When I manually change the widget data it will not change on my widget. When I enter the widget under my overlays it shows that it has changed but I have to leave it and re-enter to get it to show the change. I have tried removing and re-adding the widget still not working.
I have Amount from goal data selected but I cant manually update them via widget data
I tried resetting the goals tab in overlay editor and dashboard but still no luck

Similar problem here, but when i import a scene, obs says me this: Failed importing Scene Collection. What i have to do? Thx ๐

Hi. I updated my channel name on Twitch yesterday, and now my chatbot isn't showing up in my chat. How can I update chatbot to appear in my channel?
@brave birch If you changed your name on Twitch, please follow these steps:
- Visit https://streamelements.com/logout and then log in again by connecting with Twitch.
- On the right side of the dashboard page that opens, select Join under bot settings. If it says Part select that and then select Join to send the bot to the chat. Don't forget to mod the bot by typing /mod streamelements in your channel if you have not already.
- Post your old and your new name here so that we can update your channel's chatstats tracking (must be done by staff).
Thanks for the quick reply. That was so easy. My former name was "GamingAtTheEdgeOfTheWorld" and now its just "GamingAtTheEdge" Thanks again for all the help. ๐

Hello! Please help! I get around 150-180 in game frames normally. But if OBS is open (not streaming or recording) it drops and im able to get around 90-100 MAX. I have no idea how to fix this, and its absolutely killing me. I think it might have something to do with me using a 1440p monitor but ive changed all the settings that i can find and its no help.
Hi folks. Anyone have any idea how to get the chatbot to both respond in chat AND redeem a loyalty store item? No matter what other text I put in the bot response if I include ${redeem keyword} the redeem occurs and the text of the response doesn't go to chat.
Hi I have been having trouble with my streams when I am live at random times my Elgato game sound cuts off and i need to reset the source to get it back. this happened after the latest up date and the only thing I could find in the logs was. warning: deprecated pixel format used, make sure you did set range correctly and signal_handler_connect: signal 'streamelements_update_settings' not found
What's your current setup like for streaming? Single PC? Also what type of Elgato are you using specifically?
Default all i have done is made a source and a layout. single pc yes and a HD60 s+ I am sure it isn't the elgato as when I am offline this doesn't happen.
Have you tried testing the bitrate for audio specifically? What's it currently set at?
Everything is on default I have not added or changed anything. It has been working since November only last 3 weeks after the update has stuff gone wrong.
This might sound dumb but I gotta ask. You updated. But have you tried re-installing completely?
Not dumb second thing I did
Okay cool. Just gotta cover all aspects.
All good im a newb and I appreciate any help
