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.

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?

rugged quail
#

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

full thunderBOT
#

@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

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.

(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?

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

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!

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.

To add your overlays to OBS, add a new browser source in your scene. Paste your overlay URL in the browser source properties, set the dimensions to 1920x1080 (unless you changed them on the website) and check Shutdown source when not visible. https://youtu.be/KDvLynUqXI4

Hello, I 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?

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.

@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?

candid kite
shy mountain
#

@exotic tundra have you tried using just OBS Studio?

exotic tundra
#

@shy mountain - No, I assumed I had to use obs live with stream elements:P

shy mountain
#

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

exotic tundra
#

๐Ÿ‘

shy mountain
#

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

echo quest
#

so the custom bot name worked for about 4 days

full thunderBOT
#

@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."

echo quest
#

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>}?

dreamy tendon
#

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.

echo quest
#

so is the custom bot name SUPPOSED to die every few days?

shy mountain
#

No

#

but the above fix should fix it permanently

echo quest
#

i've done that twice now

shy mountain
#

if the issue continues, something is wrong with the twitch token we get

echo quest
#

is it because the acc in question is super old?

shy mountain
#

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

echo quest
#

kk

shy mountain
#

@dreamy tendon You can choose which branch to use by clicking on Streamelements on top of OBS -> OBS.Live Versions -> change the version

echo quest
#

alrighty

#

i'll use my password manager to give it sometihng that is unpronounceable by human tongues

shy mountain
#

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

echo quest
#

so i can keep the password if i add 2fa?

shy mountain
#

probably, idk

#

i'd not bet on it

echo quest
#

also it asks me to get a code from my email eachj time i log in anyways

shy mountain
#

as the twitch token usually gets reset when a password is changed

#

can't say if it gets reset when 2FA is added

dreamy tendon
#

@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?

shy mountain
#

I'm confused. What update loop are you getting exactly?

dreamy tendon
#

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.

shy mountain
echo quest
#

OK. I changed the password and added 2FA to both my main account and my bot account

dreamy tendon
#

@shy mountain This method didn't work. It brings me into the update loop.

shy mountain
#

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

dreamy tendon
#

My version is 26.0.2

shy mountain
#

Did you remove OBS.Live?

dreamy tendon
#

Yes

If you don't have OBS studio installed, you won't be able to remove OBS.Live

@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.

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.

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

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

@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.

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

distant breach
#

looks like NY is best based on that result:

silent veldt
#

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

distant breach
#

That test isn't using OBS; that's a bandwith tester

silent veldt
#

I'm just trying to learn about it enough to speak inteligently if I have to discuss this with my isp hehe

distant breach
silent veldt
#

I did

#

same thing

#

I'm capping around 2k, the stream starts at 6k then seconds later it drops to 2k

#

and becomes unstable

distant breach
#

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?

silent veldt
#

the bandwith test?

#

or the inspector?

distant breach
#

bandwith one that you post screen shot above.

silent veldt
#

gotcha, I'll set it to 5 seconds

distant breach
#

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

silent veldt
#

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 skol_splash

distant breach
#

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

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

distant breach
#

๐Ÿคฃ ... 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?

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.

brisk galleon
#

is high bitrate good? and what does it do?

distant breach
brisk galleon
#

is 7k bit rate good?

distant breach
#

if you want 1080p @ 60fps then 6k is recommended for Twitch

brisk galleon
#

i get 7k when i stream at 1080p

distant breach
#

7k is more than good; but if Twitch or whatever platform you use is only rebroadcasting at 6k then you are over shooting.

brisk galleon
#

what is twitch at?

#

6k?

distant breach
#

for 1080 60fps; i believe so, based on that link above. Not sure about 4k tho

brisk galleon
#

ok thanks

sacred mauve
#

my overlay is not showing up on my stream preview what do I need to do to make it show up

soft knot
sacred mauve
#

no

#

ill do that

#

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).

sacred mauve
#

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

soft knot
#

Window capture might work, if it's not full screen.

sacred mauve
#

okay

@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

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?

full thunderBOT
#

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

  1. Make a new overlay in the editor, ONLY add the Media Request widget.
  2. Add a new browser source in OBS, add the URL and set the dimensions correctly.
  3. Tick the box for Control audio via OBS https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/364869138809618432/815892834841264138/unknown.png
  4. 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

  1. For this you will need a VAC (use command !vac).
  2. Run your MR either in Chrome or in Ground Control (use command !gc). Note: Do NOT click on SHOW ON STREAM.
  3. Set Chrome or GC in the VAC as an audio input and output.
  4. 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:

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

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?

Note: Goal widgets (progress) only counts up and doesn't go down automatically, if you lose followers/subs.

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

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 PayPalโ€”one 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

sage lodge
#

How did you edit bot name?

clever flame
#

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.

long bobcat
#

@sage lodge custom bot name has nothing to do with you tipping settings

sage lodge
#

Whether using Ground control or OBS.Live

long bobcat
#

so yeah that's a pre-requisite

#

my bad, i forgot LULW if you don't have SE tipping anymore it could stop working

sage lodge
#

So then tipping is required for Bot name changes

sage lodge
#

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

long bobcat
#

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 THIS 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:

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

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

Do you two also have both your custom bot and the normal bot in your channel?

clever flame
#

then how do I get the Streamelements bot to leave so I only have my custom bot?

sage lodge
clever flame
#

No I will try that

sage lodge
#

I also added the bot username as super mod in "user management"

clever flame
#

I don't understand step 2

#

step four doesn't work. Says "This site can't be reached"

sage lodge
#
  1. 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

clever flame
#

The second step is no in Stream settings, that's in the actualy shortcut

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

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

full thunderBOT
#

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

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

Should be the option to remove it from there.

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.

storm holly

did you get this sorted as mine is now doing the same.

shy mountain

Check the link i posted

storm holly
#

It doesn't give me a reason for the stopping and starting unfortunately @shy mountain any other suggestions

shy mountain
#

either have a fresh stream OR find the proper log file

storm holly
#

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.

shy mountain
#

so by crash

#

you mean obs actually crashes?

storm holly
#

where is says start stream - disconnecting - reconnecting around 30sec later.

shy mountain
#

I don't understand where you mean

#

when you say "it crashes", does OBS actually crash, as in close out completely?

storm holly
#

no just the stream. OBS says - disconnecting where the stop stream button usually is.

#

sorry if im confusing

shy mountain
#

I see

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

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?

nova scaffold
dim niche
#

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

nova scaffold
#

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

nova scaffold
#

While OBS can grab data from TXT directly

kind drum
#

The file is added to the API

#

What i mean is the file is generated from the SBMM websites APi

nova scaffold
#

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.

Yeah - i think this is a little out my league - lol.

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

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:

  1. Visit https://streamelements.com/logout and then log in again by connecting with Twitch.
  2. 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.
  3. Post your old and your new name here so that we can update your channel's chatstats tracking (must be done by staff).

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 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
