OBS is losing connection to the StreamElements server. This has nothing to do with your internet overall, this is a specific connection between OBS and our sever.
I would test workarounds like a VPN first and see if a routing change results in more stability.
How do I remove the plugin?
If you want to uninstall OBS.Live, use the windows programm uninstaller - that will remove the plugin
How do i get alerts to work?
Once the alertbox is added to your overlay, install the overlay as the browser source into OBS and that should get you started.
Hi there, im new to streaming and installed obs live and most is fine , tho im having trouble with media request, i can play sound fine but if i try to "show on stream" it seems to be playing sound twice or more sounds terrible, any help would be greatly appreciated Cheers GnU
i have it docked in obs
"Show on stream" changes the audio output from the dock to the browser source. You need to make sure only a single browser source is producing the sound.
ya even if i mute other channels in obs it still happens
Because the browser sources are the audio sources in that case
You need to make sure you have only one of those
i use voicemeeter and have all sound channels seperate
and made captures for each type in obs and set all sound to disabled
but it was doint the same b4 i got voicemeeter
Again, if you have double sound, that means you have more that one browser source with the media request widget.
Oh perfect i have the exact same problem too
I was told to just get the obs widget but it still hasnt fixed my audio issue either
so when i made my scene the brouser sorce i added for media request also send through sound?
mmm maby its a voicemeeter issue tho was happening b4 i installed it
So i thought that too but i dont think it is because i ran so much testing but found it to not be an issue with voicemeeter
do you use voicemeeter banana?
yeah so i definitley think its probably no vm because we use 2 different ones
yeah same it sounds like its echoing right?
Wait do you have media request on 2 different overlays
โ shutdown source when not visible
if u use just sound is fine then while lplaying if u click show on stream it stops for a seccond then restarts 2-3 times
hit that button on the overlay in the properties
MONEY
Ruben you the best
wait what?
so do you have 2 different scenes where you have media request active
right click on the browser source, click on properties and select that option
or else it will play on all overlays
I cant believe i didnt think of that lmao
ok sec ill try do it
can someone help me? just got the same error i had in 4 months ago, i still have the log here if necessary
here
here
i cant turn off obs virtual camera and its not letting me switch it to another source

Hi, been having a issue with obs.live since i came back to studio obs, i migrated from streamlabs and imported my alerts from there, but the followers do not appear in the activity feed nor in the SE dashboard data, the follower alert does not come up while every other alert works as intended
@wary dew Cheers mang that seemed to work
Hi, I am new at the StreamElements and streaming in general. I have installed OBS.Live already and I don't know, how to import my overlay into it. Can anyone help me, please? Sorry for mistakes, I am Czech.
@real wadi 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
My alerts are not working on stream
Thank you very much!
still having black screen in browser source
hey, im having some trouble setting up the overlays through streamelements. I am using this simple template overlay, that i edited a bit for my own needs...
but it ends up looking like this once i put it into the browser scource
@gentle olive 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
We're not able to troubleshoot issues with using our overlays in StreamLabs OBS (SLOBS) as we don't have the tools to support their software. We recommend using OBS Studio or OBS Studio with our plugin OBS.Live.
ok... the main reason i use SLOBS is for the in-game chat overlays, i only have one monitor, so i need that so that i can interact with chat, is there a way to set that up with OBS?
@gentle olive If you have one monitor and/or would like the chat overlay on the screen, please look at the link below.
Please note this is not a plugin for OBS and not maintained by SE.

I have a problem with MEdia share - at points it gets pixelated / screen tearing, looks fine on OBS but on live stream i can see it and one of my mods confirmed it, is there any fix to it
Note this - bottom right
damn tried posting a clip
Hey, what's up? can anybody help me? unfortunately I put it so that when I went live I would have a tweet that the live was starting, now I can't get it out and there is a lot of spam on my twitter. Does anyone know how to solve? I don't remember where that option was, but I know it's in the OBS
does it look fine in your overlay editor?
Thank you very much โค๏ธ
Hi
I have the shure sm7b and the Fucusrite Scarlett 2i2 3rd generation.
I've set everything in OBS but somehow it doesn't get recorded. But the level rises. however, the microphone works with other programs. If I specify my webcam with a microphone at Obs, it works too. I've really tried everything. Would be nice if someone had an idea.
How did you set it in obs? Can you screenshot your obs window and your obs settings for audio?
@tiny shadow you right-click your audio source and select advanced audio properties. Inside there you can specify tracks for each audio source
i get that
but when I set them seperately so headset audio on 1 and mic set on 2 it stops picking it u[
up*
it still picks up game audio
You also have to go into your encoder settings for recording and specify which audio track you want to record.
-_-
So, if I have my mic on channel 2
and game audio on 1
and my encoder has channel 1 and 2 checked
it should work
Hello, I'm new to streamelements :3, how do I show the media share on my screen, I don't really know how to
Whenever its only recording track 1
Youโll get audio from both channels, yes.
Add the media request widget to your overlay
Well, that is what I have
bruh
the solution is so simple
I showed you screenshots of the literal problem lol
channel 1 needs all checks then the others
how do i import an overlay to streamelements
like im trying to import it from chrome to the app
@pastel bison 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
thanks. i figured it out.
can someone answer me
Anyone having trouble with widgets?
It was working fine yesterday.
Today, nothing is showing up on my obs studio. Labels, Alerts, Etc
what was your issue? ๐
everything is okey here, but check if your overlay is fine on the web editor
Yeah Im streaming now and nothing is emulating into my stream.
lol it just stopped working again and still no labels
thanks for checking in tho!
black screen on browser source.
every http:// pages works, but the ones from streamelements dont
already: opened as adm
disabled hardware optimization
changed to low perfomance on video settings
as you see my links are working just fine, they dont work on mine
this issue happened a long time ago, got solved (i dont know how keizar did it) but it did
then its back again
Anyone know why my activity feed looks different from the one on the website?
Mine
Website feed
thats twitch activity feed, to show our activity feed you need to go to the streamelements menu (on top of obs) > obs.live docks > activity feed
I don't have that option :/
Got it, I just had to logout and log back in
What do you suggest for a VPN and how do you set it up for SE OBS.
please someone
do these overlay links work in your chrome?
yes
alerts/overlay doesnt work in mine but works in my edge/chrome
doenst work in obs
have you tried using a different internet connection just for testing purposes? like using your mobile hotspot
i dont have wifi in my pc
you can connect via usb too
the modem is in the living room my internet has only one cable in my room
i dont have the usb wifi either if thats what ur asking
When someone redeems channel points in chat I have an image show up on screen to help me notice it. Right now it just appears and 4 seconds later it disappears. I want it to zoom in from the center of the screen, maybe do a little elastic bounce at full size, then zoom out back into the middle of the screen. Can I get that control over an image in OBS?
I just feel like it could be a network issue, just trying to see if we can do something to troubleshoot the issue
@ocean rivet if its a network issue what can be done? last time i dont know what they've done here but it worked somehow
not sure what my colleague did, but you could try to change your dns and see if that helps
i changed manually for 8 8 8 8
8 8 4 4 (idk if thats what ur talking about) but didnt work as well
T_T
I could use some help. I no long have the Audio settings for my desktop device, only Mic/Aux and VOD Audio for Soundtrack by Twitch. My viewers can no longer hear audio from my game. Any clue what could cause this?
check your desktop audio device in your audio settings
what would I be looking for, it is the same as always, default
instead of default select your main device
ok I did that, but it did not change anything, that image I posted is still the same
It used to show the device
I even uninstalled and reinstalled, trying to revert it to the factory settings, and that did not work
can you show me an screenshot of your audio settings?
@ocean rivet
do you see anything mentioning windows sonic (7.1) in your hyperx software?
sorry but I don't have any other ideas besides trying your overlays with a different network connection
can you also show me a screenshot of your advanced audio properties?
can you remind me how to get there please, it's something I don't get to very much
I'm on Win 10
right click under audio mixer
in obs
not sure what your issue is and since this is not related to our tools I can only suggest you try asking for help in the official obs discord
is any support on to help with my stream?
@hoary reef Welcome to the helpdesk! Please let us know how we can assist you today and a support volunteer or staff member will assist you as soon as they are available. Thank you for your patience.
i setup all the software on a new computer and everytime i try and go live i get the below error
oops! something went wrong.... we could not create a live video on thepage
Check your stream key, restart PC and if that doesn't work, then you are affected by a bug we are working on fixing.
i have checked the key, restarted computer, logged out, cleared browser cache, everything
what else can i try??
how else can i go live currently??
ok
let me try and restart computer and reinstall brb
@shy mountain same issue
please help what else can i do here ive tried everything
ok delete it then what
when going live try and choose this option: "Go Live with Facebook Streamer Dashboard Settings"
If you uninstall OBS.Live, you just start OBS Studio and start streaming
Yes and as far as I'm aware, you go to your facebook dashboard and start the stream from there
under what options in FB
That I don't know as I personally don't have a FB streaming page
I believe you have to set up a live stream and then go live using the dashboard settings
is there any videos tyou guys have of this process?
Unfortunately no.
just uninstall obs.live
try reinstalling but download this first https://cdn.streamelements.com/obs/dist/obs-streamelements-installer-wrapper/windows/latest/obs-streamelements-setup-stable.exe
I would recommend to setup your stream via the Facebook Dashboard and go live with "Go Live with Facebook Streamer Dashboard Settings".
No we don't have a video for this unfortuantely, but this should help the first setup:https://www.facebook.com/business/help/461095387655664
Follow these steps to set up and start live streaming video games on Facebook.
If this doesn't help
simply uninstall OBS.Live
and follow the facebook article on how to go live
how to make stream fps 60 instead of 30
you can choose the fps settings in OBS IIRC
yes
you can change that in OBS, as well as on twitch itself, but the settings presented to you are usually what your machine can handle.
So, I HAD this set up, and now it's suddenly not working... And when I try to re-do it, the "Set custom bot name" doesn't switch to the account I signed into to authorize access (obvs not my own account)... Any idea how to fix?
@storm grail 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
In Step 3, "Set custom bot name" was already selected and was NOT my Custom Bot Name.
So then I followed Steps 4-5 and signed in as the alt account I used as my Custom Bot Name and clicked [Authorize], but again, the "Set custom bot name" item in the "Current bot name" selector doesn't switch to the alt account, and the 'Send Test Message' button is greyed out and can't be clicked on
Anything else I can do?
Wanna watch it not work? 
Just so we're sure, you're running obs.live on windows right
Correct on both counts
BTW, Sorry for the ping, KeiZar, and thanks for the prompt responses KeiZar and MrMurdok 
try doing this
- Right-click on your OBS desktop shortcut and open the Properties
- In the Target field, add the following to the very end: --remote-debugging-port=40404 (don't forget to add a space before the current path)
- Open OBS (or restart if it was open)
- Open your web browser and type in: localhost:40404
- Click on StreamElements - Activity feed
- Navigate to the Console tab
- Type the following into the console and hit enter: store.customBot.removeCustomBotIntegration()
- Try setting the custom bot name
- Remove the additional flag in step 2 from your shortcut properties.
OK! So far so good... Custom bot name shows up in the "Set custom bot name" field!! ๐ฎ Done all steps and reopening OBS...
Yay!! It's still working after re-opening OBS!!
TYTYTY!! I really appreciate your help!

of course, glad I could help
question, for some reason my screen recording nor my webcam are showing in my obs app on mac. How can i fix this?
@brisk needle Obs.live is a plugin for OBS Studio for the best OBS support, please join their Official Discord @ https://discord.gg/obsproject
Is it possible to add a command through streamelements bot that would allow a mod to either host a channel or end the stream. As an emergency if you for some reason forget to close obs and the stream continues for hours and hours without your knowledge
I believe a twitch editor (you set a mod as an editor via the permissions page on the twitch dashboard) can use /host command
Ok, this would only work as long as that other channel is online. Would it still be possible to add a command and make the bot end the stream?
there is no way the bot or us to end the stream
If the bot is set as an editor. Is it possible to add a custom command that would allow a mod to trigger the host command? I feel like giving people access to editor is maybe to much access ๐
I'm not sure if the /host command will work from the bot, as it might not be white listed
It's not a huge problem, i have some friends that every now and then forget to close obs, and i forgot it myself a couple of times after using the /host command. Maybe a feature you would consider adding in the future? Would be a nice safety feature just in case
obs.live is a plugin for OBS Studio
this type of feature for remote turning off would be something for the OBS guys, not us :/
So there's no hope then, unless some community member out there creates a plugin we could use
๐
YOOO guys with the banned phrases bot, what does "Regular expression" mean? :)
It's basically advanced settings with a finer tuning.
OHHH so it can detect banned phrases within other words?
one way yes.
oh tysm guys!!!
Can someone tell me , where i can request to enable custom bot name on Ground Control ?
Any particular reason you don't wanna use OBS.Live?
I'm already fully setup with everything. and got used to SLOBS overlay. So right now i'm to lazy to change
- i really like that "specific" recording Sources you can select.
saves a lot of after editing for some stuff.
I have a big Issues with OSB Live on an old Mac: I am running OS10.15 on my streaming computer. Streaming runs fine, but i can't display any browser source. When I try to add one, even in a scene only consisting of a static browser source, the screen is just black, as if obs can't reach the web.
OBS > Settings > Advanced > Scroll down > Enable or disable Browser Source Hardware Acceleration, depending on its current state > Restart OBS

Thank you so much!
with the donation goal overlay widget, how do you reset the amount to 0 to start from scratch??
To reset goals:
- from the Overlay Editor > Session data on top right (monitor symbol) > Goals tab > reset progress of desired goal
- from the Dashboard > Activity feed on the left > Widget data on the right > Goals tab -> reset progress of desired goal
Note: Goal widgets (progress) only counts up and doesn't go down automatically, if you lose followers/subs.
thank you
Had that happen to myself as well (forgetting to stop stream after raiding and realizing only after 4 hours).
Basically, "streaming" is controlled by the application (OBS), so if you want to end stream you need to control the application.
This is not something that a Twitch bot or moderator can do, this is something only you (or someone that can control you computer) can do.
For security reasons, I hope no "remote control for 3rd party people" feature is added to OBS, as this will potentially surrender control over your pc to someone else.

Hi all. In the past it was possible to use my own Twitch name as my bot name but when I set this commands don't work.
@safe torrent 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 where this should go, but i'm having some trouble with my overlays? i don't know why it takes so long to load
i use SLOBS to stream, but i was just using OBS to get a quick screen cap
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.
This really looks like a SLOBS issue.
Can you replicate it on OBS.Live?
let me see
the reason i use SLOBS is because it has an in game chat overlay feature, is there a way to do that in OBS.live?
No however there is a 3rd party app that can do that. Downside is fullscreen games are a no-go.
what is the app?
Hi hi, I'm having trouble with my activity feed on StreamElements? i cant seem to get my recent follower to show there or on/during my stream overlays, and

Hello, my friend doesn't hear the alerts but the stream does. Is there a solution?

Hello, I recently updated OBSLIVE to 21.3.8.729 and now whenever I start stream my OBS would freeze for a few seconds every few seconds. All my settings are the same as before. I also noticed when I enable preview it doesn't freeze but when I disable preview my FPS shown on the bottom of OBS would fall from 60fps to 48 or even lower. This has never happened before. I'm not sure what to do about this
Hi everyone, quick simple question: I accidentally closed the activity feed and chat feed from the plugin from another scene in obs but it's gone in my main scene, anyway to get it back without reinstalling the plugin?
Check the logs (Help > Log Files > Upload Current Log File) and see if there's anything there that might be causing that
Streamelements Menu > OBS.Live Docks should bring those back
Ah geez! Didn't see that new menu lol thank!!
quick question the live chat box in obs is the youtube homepage now how do i change it back
@patent sonnet StreamElements menu, on top of OBS > Logout > Login
awesome thanks
best audio settings?
@tawdry shell There are no "best settings".
Please understand that every setup will be very different.
Any guides or videos that claim otherwise are misinforming. Your best option is to start with a base and adjust as necessary.
You can run the OBS auto-configuration tool. To use the auto-config, click on the Tools menu in OBS, select Auto-Configuration Wizard, and then just follow the on-screen directions.
You can use this tool to get baseline settings for your hardware and adjust as necessary from there.
Test, test, and test again. We are happy to offer suggestions for any issues you may be having afterward, but not a list of settings.
Hello, so I have two problems, 1 is that if I put my buy rate above 3000kb/s it will not reach it and is stuck below 3k itโs not a problem with the WiFi since I have more than enough, another problem is that when streaming obs says that frames and quality are fine but when I view my test stream the quality and frames are terrible, Iโve gotten my WiFi company out to take a look and they said itโs not the WiFi and that itโs either obs or twitch.
@north glen 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.
Hi! I changed the sound on my alerts yesterday in streamelements, uploaded new sounds, but on my live stream i cant hear the sounds, i hear them on my computer and in streamelements when alerts go off but not captured, anyone know what could have happened ?
did not change anything other then different sounds on already working alerts
Do you hear them in OBS when you emulate alerts from the overlay?
yes i did hear them live, on my compuiter, but when i check the video on twitch there is no sound so ill guess my viewers never heard them
in the activity feed in OBS if i reroll for example a follower i hear the sound in obs
@thorny rune 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
hi i did change in obs now to control audio in obs, and when i tried to record now it seems to be working
thanks for that picture also now i will not forget it again
but in default that box control audio in OBS was not checked, it was when i checked the box it worked
Thank you, glad to hear it worked. ๐
how i traspass tipeestream overlay to streamelements
In the web dashboard, click on your name on the top left > click settings > click import tab, follow the instructions for tippeestream
It should install a chrome extension and you should be able to import
and with the extention how i export overlay
I believe you will need to have a tab open and logged into tipeeestream and one tab logged into your StreamElements dashboard
thank you
hi why i cant add snip spotify text form on this obs version it work just fine on streamlabs

Hey, hopefully quick question, I can't upload an MP3 file for an alert. It just says it failed...any thoughts?
The error being "Failed while uploading file"
Bit unsure where to ask about this, but today someone gifted a sub, but it didn't show up in my notifications feed or on my alerts
im having similar issues today, only raids show. no follows or subs or anything
hi my audio is bass boosted plz help
Intentionally or no?
Check your windows audio device settings for โenhancementsโ
Did you add any filters to your audio device in OBS?
hi, I have a problem I tried capture the game and screen is black
CS:GO?
What game are you trying to capture and is OBS running as Admin?
csgo
@queen kiln Valve has implemented a trusted mode which does not allow OBS to hook CS:GO using Game Capture. Read more in their announcement post here https://blog.counter-strike.net/index.php/2020/07/30736/.
Additionally, they have no plans on allowing OBS in trusted mode. https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=8835-KLXV-0292#whitelist You will need to run the game in either windowed or borderless fullscreen and use Window Capture instead.
Alternately, you can launch the game with -allow_third_party_software.
and I dont think so should I run it as an admin
why is also the display capture not showing up
If CS:GO is full screen it wonโt show up due to the anti-cheat implemented by Valve
I can't get my chat/alert overlay to show in OBS but the preview works just fine
I encountered a weird issue last night that I'm struggling to resolve.
I have my OBSlive capturing my entire PC sound to output as well as my mic
I use Triggerfyre for fun sound stuff, but I can't work out a mixture of settings that allow me to hear the sound and viewers as well, without the viewers hearing the echo caused by me hearing it
Set your obs audio output to your headphones and donโt monitor any unnecessary browser sources and see if that helps
Will try it ty
Can you screenshot your obs window for me?
No the OBS Live one is there but it doesn't show anything...it does in preview though
so on stream it isn't showing, but it's showing in OBS?
Hello, an update on my issue, I am receiving alerts for anything paid, ie bits donations and subs all display an alert but followers hosts etc do not get picked up in my obs activity feed and are not displayed by the alert box, anyone know how to fix this its becoming very frustrating, everything was fine yesterday.
If I hit the Preview in OBS Live the alerts and the chat show. In OBS itself it doesn't and not during a test stream
That's my Overlay setting
change the resolution to 1920 width and 1080 height
let's see what that does
@wild cape OBS > Settings > Advanced > Scroll down > Enable or disable Browser Source Hardware Acceleration, depending on its current state > Restart OBS
https://i.imgur.com/ggMe9ZE.png
Also follow these steps and either enable or disable based on it's current setting
Uncheck it?
Done
Wait...it might be in the background
Ok...how do I bring it foward then?
Ok somehow this is resolved now. Thank you for your help

Hey,
I am having trouble getting my alert notifications to show during my live streams (Twitch or YouTube).
I currently use OBS Studio (not StreamLabs OBS).
When I test them on the streamelements website (live streaming or just off stream testing, everything works fine.
But when someone follows or subscribe during the stream nothing shows.
I have my alert boxes set to 1920/1080 on the website and in the OBS Studio Scenes.
I am also aware of the privacy settings on YouTube that may prevent getting notifications on YouTube, but again nothing is showing for Twitch either.
Is there anything else that I am missing???
Thanks!!!
Be Safe!!!

By mistake I removed the chat stream from the main obs screen, how do I put it back?
You should be able to go to the Streamelements Menu > OBS.Live Docks > Chat (if you aren't using OBS.Live: View > Docks > Chat).
anyone know an actual way to fix the game capture black screen? ive tried a bunch of things from multiple youtube videos
obs is suddenly as of a couple hours ago using 30% cpu when it normally uses like 3% when not streaming/recording
ive had this issue for days
hi
@bold snow some games like Redm (rp platform for rdr2) does not work with game screen
im need of help
anybody know why obs is suddenly as of a couple hours ago using 30% cpu when it normally uses like 3% when not streaming/recording?
Have you tried updating it/restarting it completely?
@fathom wren Welcome to the helpdesk! Please let us know how we can assist you today and a support volunteer or staff member will assist you as soon as they are available. Thank you for your patience.
@quick atlas do you know how i can fix the game capture black screen?
no obs updates available
and i have tried restarting it multiple times
I would suggesting checking out the OBS discord, as there could be a few reasons why that is happening
i even tried reinstalling obs
and restarting pc
ive recently installed obs.live and need a lil help setting up/optimizing
are you able to see what those 7 processes are?
Have you tried hiding the browser pages to see if that changes anything?
what is a browser page anyway
quickly for today earlier i came here about the now playing thing that didnt work one of had same issue. I find another thing that work well. it called pixel chat
try that i will connect your spotify or youtube music
my screen is just showing black :/
Any of the sources you've added that use a browser (overlays. alerts)
oh i see, how do i hide those
In the sources menu, click on the eye of the source and that should hide it
None of them
not sure how to make anything show as preview
Oh wow interesting @quick atlas it seems for some reason those browser pages are messing the cpu up. I did not change anything recently so not sure why they are being hogs all of a sudden
pft what stupid like there no customer server here or anyone available help anyone that have issue and they aren't allowing people provide them links that they can follow we can just add everyone as friend in order dm them.
i get that issue with black screen
but use streamlabs
it wont give u black screen plus they do respond faster
when it comes for me to login to twitch it just stays white nothing appears for me to enter info
if u switch between if this obs dont work good have backup obs
try streamlabs obs
or the old fashion obs
as soon as i hid the overlays and unhid them that totally fixed the cpu usage to normal LOL
no idea why that fixed it but im happy hahaha
no idea why they would become so cpu hungry either but
ยฏ_(ใ)_/ยฏ
It may help to put them all on one if it happens again, as less browsers eat less cpu
not sure what you mean by that
So for example, if you have an overlay, then a separate alert box in SE, you can combine those into one to use less resources
Is it possible for OBS to capture an undocked OBS.live window that doesn't involve capturing and croping monitor capture? If so, how?
@quick atlas ok for example this is what i have for Desktop sharing (as Redm doesnt work with game capture)
i don't think that's possible without using "display capture"
Argh. Okay.
So not everything can be combined, but if you use SE for the notifications and SE for the chat box, you can go into the online editor and have that all be in one overlay, then use that single source instead of two separate ones
is that done on the stream elements site
Yes, same place where you would have initially made the overlays
ok ill see if i can figure that out, thank you so much
No problem!
this looks alot better than 60% CPU LOL
You can also check to make sure you have "shutdown source when not visible" checked
Hello, i am a streamer and i use OBS Live. I stream on FB Gaming. I need help with how to setup chatbox on the right side of OBS Live.
i have several overlays but whenever i try and preview any nothing shows up, so maybe i should just delete?
You should be able to grab the panel title bar and drag it over to the other side
Interesting thing happened today, was opening OBS and all my mic filters didn't even worked
@kindred fox I am trying not to move the panel. I am trying to see my chat in the OBS Live but i cant for some reason.
Click streamelements > obs.live docks > chat
any1 tell me what i might be missing to get my alerts to show up. i got the overlay set up and added to obs but its not showing up.
So, I have this weird thing happening where my stream will just stop working randomly. Like, OBS still says I'm streaming, but it just stops uploading. Everything else works perfectly (chat, games, etc.) so I know it's still uploading/downloading data, but the stream itself just stops. It's happened now 3 times in the last 2 days and not sure what's up.
Has anyone else ran into this issue? Any guidance on what to do?
my overlays jkust are not showing up at all
i get request failed with status code 429 when trying to connect with twitch
Is SE down I take it?
looks that way devs r looking into it
pull up obs...all my lay outs are gone...The information is there, but it's all black
i was litteraly troubleshooting why my alerts overlayt wasnt showing up... maybe that was it but idk since i have never done this till now
Website is back up.
I am having an issue connecting my custom chatbot name account in obs live. It goes through the whole login process authorization then the window closes and does not connect the account.
@digital dune 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
After step 5 is complete the window disappears, the bot account does not connect, and the test message button is not available.
hey guys, my obs randomly is showing the text of caht dock and stream information super blurry
anyone knows if its am obs bug or how to fix it
?
@digital dune 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.
@cyan plume I think desktop magnification can cause that
after a recent windows update my encoder overloads every minute or two when streaming. this causes major buddering and loading on stream. any ideas how to fix it. (I already tried lowering output resolution and lowering framerate and it did nothing)
@proper goblet 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.

If you uninstall OBS.Live that will not fix the bot
the internal connection to the custom bot name will still be active
you need to follow the guide above to fix it
yeah...well as i said it didnt help.
if you follow the guide exactly - it will reset the bot to default
so you will be able to leave it as "StreamElements" or go for a custom name
the cutsom name worksed fine...the last 3 days...today...nothing...dont get it
i followed this guide twice now...nothing changed...i will return to my old bot...have no time for a bot that doenst does his work...thanks.

Stream labels program broke, yesterday it worked fine, today it couldn't start, said folder is corrupt. I tried uninstalling but it said the same error. When I try to do reinstall the installer gets stuck halfway. Then I tried deleting stream labels manually deleting the folders manually in appdata local and roaming, documents, tried uninstall but now it says .exe file missing. Still can't reinstall..
In that case where the uninstall does not work, you need to clean up all the remaining files and sometimes even the registry.
Stream labels does not sound like our tools, we have Ground Control and OBS.Live - what is affected?
Just started using streamlabs and cant get my game audio to come though my stream?
Streamlabs or StreamElements? We can only offer support for StreamElements tools.
OBS
Oh I thought this was the streamlabs discord. Was using streamlabs labels in obs
Nope, we are StreamElements. For Streamlabs tools please visit their Discord server - they can help with it.
With normal OBS you need to go to Settings - Audio and select the correct devices for desktop (your output) and microphone (your input). If you have more devices, you need to add them aswell (like capture cards)
I have my audio output capture set to my headset which is where my game audio comes through and I have tried other ouputs but still have had no luck
You need to set up the correct devices, which only you know - sadly i can't help you without all the data.
OBS needs 2 inputs - desktop audio and mic - both have to use the correct audio device.

i just started streaming im trying to setup overlays can someone help im really confused
My streamelemnts dashboard on OBS has now just disappeared. I use it to play music, and now its just the usual OBS?? Why is this?
Check the StreamElements menu > OBS.Live Docks
I dont know how to fix it, when i go live nobody ear the music or game sound!
Check your audio settings in OBS Settings > Audio
Make sure the desktop audio is enabled or select the proper device
click the gear next to the speaker by your volume meter and select advanced audio properties. Make sure you have tracks 1 & 2 selected

@dusky nexus โคต๏ธ
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.

streamelems is not pick up my mic bar it only as dask top bar there
can any one help me fix this please
You need to add an audio input capture
i did not have to befor why now
Because a microphone is an audio input. Without adding an audio input capture for your mic to your scene, nobody will hear you.

hey people, im having a very weird issue with my obs, my gameplay looks laggy sometimes when i have no dropped frames and the fps is locked at 60
im recording using new nvenc at 22000 bitrate @ 1080p
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.
i didnt mean dropped frames, its a recording
22000?
Probably. Try 5500

@weak herald โคต๏ธ
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

ive set it up wrong without adding to source for media share is there anyway to go thorough the setup process again
Dashboard -> my overlays -> edit -> (+) button -> Media in the search bar -> follow the highlited options to add the media request widget

but, no
i'm referring to the main website dashboard

Hey all im trying to get obs to capture my discord widow but it wont capture discord as a whole so if i go off discord and reopen it because the title doesn't match i have to redo the settings, any ideas?
I think Discord needed Browser accel to be turned off either in Discord it self OR in OBS
But display capture should work perfectly find for Discord
I have started using Epidemic Sounds and I can create my own playlists there and I can share those publicly with a link: e.g. https://www.epidemicsound.com/playlist/XYZ and then everyone can access it.
Would it be possible to implement that StreamElements "Media Request" could accept this type of URL as a "backup playlist"? The playlist has all the songs that can be played directly on the website and I was wondering since it works with YT if it would be possible to add this as a feature?
it just blacks out, i can show you in screen share if you have some time free

Hey there, does anybody know why my alerts repeat when I switch scenes?
Do you have the "shutdown source when not visible" turned on for overlays? Specially for the one that has the alerts?
This will force reload the overlay every time you switch the scene
And that can display the last alert, but should not
No because it has a visible reload of other graphics. Although I thought about making a singular overlay just for alerts so i can turn on this setting.
is that what causes the problem? having it on?
Try to have a single overlay for the alertbox only
that should help with your issue
how do i add a sound capture for my music?
nvm
i just being stupid apparently
how do i make the sound capture only record a certain window?
and then how do i stop desktop audio from capturing it?
You might need to use VoiceMeeter, which allows you to have separate audio channels for separate applications.
Not possible. OBS always records an audio source. You need to set the audio output from that window to a specific soundcard to record it separately
Or VoiceMeeter, but i do not recommend it as it is a half-baked software solution instead of a proper analog audio routing that is stable and easy to work with
???
Yeah, I am aware it's not the best solution, but I needed to have separate captures for game/discord/music/chrome and I did not want to capture desktop audio, so it was the only way.
It's a bit complicated to set up first, but once it's done it is pretty stable (using potato since 6 months, no issues apart from Minecraft - which has a workaround anyway so no biggie)
Yeah that can work. The proper solution is to separate everything, route that through audio interfaces into a proper mixer with enough channels, balance everything there and from that get to a proper audio interface input into OBS.
Will look into it
My main issue was that I wanted to have music in stream and recording, but wanted to be able to cut it out when doing video highlights so that the pieces didn't have bits of tracks and then jump to a different track all of a sudden.
With VM I can route the music to a different audio track and remove that track entirely when editing the videos ๐
(yeah, I have complicated setups, I know)
Ping me if you need help, I might not reply immediately, but will do when I can
Can i remote control it from a device and how does it get captured on obs?
It's an application on your pc, no remote control available.
On OBS you'll have different audio tracks, and those can be controlled by/in OBS (or with StreamDeck buttons in my case)
Thatโsโฆ..not entirely trueโฆ.
You can use the TouchOSC phone app to map VM buttons via OSC commands and give yourself a virtual interface on your phone. Itโs not the best solution, but I have done it and it does work. It is however a pain to get running

Hey guys!
If i game on a 1440P monitor, but my second monitor where my OBS is, is 1080P. Do i set the base canvas to 1440P or 1080?
Does not matter, OBS will scale everything accordingly
You can set the canvas to 1080p just because it is easier to work with

Hey guys!
So i have a 2 pc setup for streaming. I am wondering if anyone can help me with how this works? Right now i am getting encoding overloaded on the streaming PC even just using "Fast" when i was expecting that because of 2 PCs i could do "Medium" at least?
It just seems to be acting as if the streaming PC is also still processing the game footage as if it would on a regular single setup?
That depends on your hardware. For heavy load (games with a lot of moving details like grass) you need the latest 10-12 core CPU for fast and 16 cores for medium for sure
based on 1080p 60fps medium
@nova scaffoldStreaming pc has a 8700k
6 cores from a couple of years back. It should do "faster" without issues.
For medium you would need something like 5950x or a 16 core threadripper (or similar Intel) which is not viable anymore
Yeah, i tried doing Faster but it was 100% encoding overload
for minimal gains you spend hundreds
Very Fast is like 50%
CPU encoding is intense
I recommend GPU encoding if your streaming PC has a 2000 or 3000 series Nvidia
The streaming one is only a 1080TI sadly
My gaming one is 2080TI and an i9 9900k. But sadly, i still get pixelisation and stuff somehow when streaming with just that as a single
So figured to swap to the 2pc side
2PC will give you an improvement. But if you want maximum quality, the next step up would be a 2000/3000 series Nvidia GPU with the NVenc encoder or 12+ cores CPU, starting with the 3000 Ryzen series (3900X)
i use the 3900X and sometimes i wish i had more horsepower, but looking at the price - nope ๐
But i had it easier since i use AMD in both PCs, so this moved from main rig to streaming rig
Yeah haha ๐
I am still just sorting out re organising them now
Having to swap my mic out and put it into the stream pc etc now is annoying
Yeah. It's annoying having to use discord on stream pc and mic etc on it
I suggest looking into a Yamaha AG-03
so you will have the master out from there to the streaming PC and the USB into the streaming PC
this is how i have it set up, it is cheap enough to recommend
and ideally designed for dual PC use. the GoXLR is similar, but like 3x more expensive
I look at an image of that and i'm just like "wtf is this" XD
Looks confusing as hell to me
Thanks for the recommendation though! I might look into getting this sorted aswell
Yep. Just remember that as an option
It allows you to separate the clean mic signal into USB while getting a combined signal from both PCs back into the streaming PC
so i did end up with just a single input in OBS for all audio
For profile. Would you recommend main/high? Idk if that would make a difference and allow for me to use "Faster" instead of "Very Fast"?
Not relevant for a streaming PC that does nothing outside of streaming
Alright no worries then. Thanks
Currently just using voicemeter banana though. Ended up somehow being annoying to figure out
Was what seemed to pop up everywhere though for guides so i never thought of looking at mixers or such
Gotta be much better than banana though

My chat widget is blank when im not live, its just a dark blue background. On the Activity List, i can only see Sign in with Twitch, but im not using Twitch
Top menu - StreamElements - Logout.
StreamElements supports FB, YT and Twitch currently and OBS.Live can only be active for a single channel on a single platform, this is why the widgets are connected to a Twitch channel.
So you need to log in with the correct channel to fix it
youre an angel
Changing custom CSS in OBS for overlays does not do wanted behaviour.
example: Widget Follower-Goal with custom CSS Background color and border => Border shown but background still invisible
My stream is not going live after clicking start streaming in OBS Live... my twitch account is also connected.. what should I do?
hey I have a question, I received a donation but my activity feed only shows follows?
Are tips filtered out of the activity feed view?
nope
everything is checked except merch
i use streamlabs notifications and stuff and it showed it there but my activity feed just shows follows
inside the streamlabs itself
Streamlabs or Streamelements?
i use obs.live addons for obs
but for my alerts I use streamlabs browser source
follows come through but no donation
I tried relogging and the stream is still not going live?
So if you are getting events through Streamlabs, you will not be able to see that on the streamelements feed.
Specifically those donations would need to use our tipping page to be seen
ah so I would have to use donation page of streamelements?
Have you tried disconnecting twitch completely from obs, then re-adding?
Correct
okay ima try that ty
also
question
since I have the streamlabs donation notification set up will it also show once I receive the donation from streamelements?
I logged out of every streaming application I have then back inm through OBS Live @quick atlas
The systems don't have any link with each other, so whichever system you use will be the only system that sees it.
oh okay
I more of mean disconnecting your stream key and reading it to OBS
This didnt work for me
This is what I got after i logged into my bot account again and it still wouldnt take the save
Hey guys is streamelements activity feed still bugged for some people?
I was using streamlabs until they fixed the bug not sure if it was fixed tho
Hi, I am setting up streamelements for Youtube. When I first logged on there was a chat Dock but it didnt show chat. I played about and have deleted it accidently. How do I add it back and how do I link it to youtube chat? Hope you can help..
Hey. I have a problem with logging out my Twitch Account out of OBS.Live. I do have 2 Twitch accounts and i would like to switch StreamElements OBS.Live to use my other account. OBS is already linked to my other, but OBS.Live is not. I already restarted OBS. Can someone help me?
What issue were you having with the feed?
You should be able to go to the Streamelements Menu > OBS.Live Docks > Chat (if you aren't using OBS.Live: View > Docks > Chat). YT will not work with the chat dock
@dapper igloo oh yea, i am stupid. That red... i ignored/didnt see that button ๐ฉ Thanks a lot!
Thanks for replying. So adding a chat Dock wont help as it wont recognise youtube chat....thats a real shame as would be really helpful having it on stream...thanks for your help
hello, i need help setting up overlays on obs.live @dapper igloo
@rugged quail โคต๏ธ
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
Whenever I used streamelements it would never show my activity feed
When setting up alerts for obs.live it appears in stream elements overlay creator that the alerts are geared more towards youtuber streamers, am I missing something that would show me Twitch labels for alerts like for donations, follows for example
Iโve tried multiple things that SE Staff has told me to do and it still doesnโt work
They said they would tell their devs just havenโt heard back in awhile
Right, since the overlays can be used for multiple platforms, you'll want to make sure it matches the events that come through the platform
Is there a way to import the alerts that Twitch uses
What do you mean by that? So the dashboard you make with your Twitch account should already have the alert sets for twitch, if that's what you mean
Let me see if I can find something on that
Please man
I love using streamelements but the only issue is that
So I had to move to streamlabs but if it gets fixed Iโm straight away getting back to streamelements
@quick atlas can I send you a DM with a link to what I am trying to see. Its a youtube link
sure, might take me a moment to get to that though
Hey guys, I am having an issue where my I can't hear the TTS from my subs and donations on my streams. I have TTS enabled on my alerts and I can hear them on the stream elements overlay preview but on my stream I can only hear the sound effect of my alert not the TTS that comes after. Is there a solution for this? Thanks in advance!
anyone got problems with last update? Like lags, crashes etc?
@quick atlas Any updates (sorry for the ping) just really wanna use streamelements again
๐
@sudden oracle โคต๏ธ
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.

Can I get your accountID? That'll make it easier to search ๐
Can you show me how please
@rugged quail โคต๏ธ
Please provide your account ID found at the top of this page: https://streamelements.com/dashboard/account/channels This ID is public info and safe to share here.
Thanks!
Np
I streamed for the first time in a while today on obs live and it looked great exept for it looked kind of staticy any way to fix this thanks.
I haven't seen any updates on that, but is it possible to run through some of those steps you tried?
Could you provide the steps?
Well first, just try logging in and out of SE where you have it logged in
@cursive coral โคต๏ธ
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 i need some help with my stream, i have background noises in OBS since two hours when i put the USB from my Elgato in my PC. This problem is new and i cant fix it. Please help..
@hardy niche โคต๏ธ
Obs.live is a plugin for OBS Studio for the best OBS support, please join their Official Discord @ https://discord.gg/obsproject
hey i have a question.. i have my overlays on Streamelements done but i cant seem to add them to my obs

hello how can i get my game to get captured by game capture screen is black
cod warzone
I cant hear anything while monitoring my sources.. I've tried to restart my PC, shut down everything and all.. Is there something else I can do?
Set your monitoring device to your headset/speakers and make sure your default windows audio device is wherever you want to hear your gameplay/monitored audio
Hum.. I've changed nothing since 2 days ago and it was working fine
Monitoring device is set to the right place
What is your default windows output device set to?
My headset
Did you specify your default audio output in obs as your headset?
Yes ๐ฆ
guys question is a way you can put different overlays on one ? so i have a overlay for my chat for my alert box for my kappaemotes etc but i want to put everything on one idk if is a way the i can copy all of them and put them on a blank overlay
pleas help
@cobalt swan โคต๏ธ
To duplicate or copy your widget to a new or existing overlay, select the widget and use the Duplicate button. https://imgur.com/a/Ng4uhRU
Can you take a screenshot of your obs window for me?
We could voice call and I'd share screen if you'd like
I've reinstalled everything.. it worked x) But thanks for your help
Okie dokie
Do your numbers like followers import over from twitch to stream elements
Did that still didnโt work
Hi guys!! I have I problen when i want to start the stream it saids "an encoder error occurred while streaming"
Hey, make sure that your gpu drivers are up to date and set the encoder to your gpu
that should fix it
Hello all, testing out the stream marathon timer overlay, when I test it shows fine on stream elements tab but not in OBS. Anyone know why? Do I need to actually be live for me to see the timer? :/
Hi guys,
I have a problem since few weeks.
Sometimes when I stream, I got stream crashes for like 7-9 seconds.
I can't see any disconnects in my internet connection (router settings), but all game connections etc. also crash.
If I go offline with the stream, no disconnects in game, etc. appear.
Does anybody have the same issue?
No need to be live to see the timer. Have you added the overlay with the correct resolution?
You need to check your PC and your network for issues. We can't really help with disconnects, those are 99,9% network related issues.
i need help fixing my preview screen it has stretched my display beyond the preview screen and duplicated is exponentially
My preview screen is non existent. Itโs just black display that is stretched out to where I canโt even see where my display is suppose to go
Can you share more information about the preview screen? A screenshot would help to understand the issue
In general the preview window is scaled to the canvas or the monitor size
Mine looks like this
The little square is the display capture for the other monitor but why is there not even a preview screen
What are your canvas settings in OBS?
You can also try to disable and re-enable the preview window in OBS
You have monitor capture enabled on the same monitor where OBS is on
please disable that and see how it looks
I donโt know how to get there to tell you that
Iโm guessing settings on the bottom right?
Now the preview is correct, you just need to scale all sources to your canvas
i have tried to but it will not correct
Use Ctrl+F on the sources to adjust them to the canvas size.
Do not lock the sources while editing of course
What resolution should I set it to? The resolution in SE matches the one I set in obs..
Please check the properties of the overlay on our platform to see the resolution
default is 1920x1080 - but not always the case
Omg another problem... my video capture from my camera has black on outside. How do I make the camera display square for the camera captured instead of outside black square
Check the capture settings, make sure you use the correct resolution everywhere
Why when I try to fit the camera it has a big black outline
Oh I think it might be actual camera settings
You need to adjust the source size to the canvas too..
Press Ctrl+F when the source is selected
Hi, is it possible to resume the stream after OBS crashes
It just creates a whole new stream when I press "start streaming"
Not possible. Twitch can hold the connection for a bit, but it will still create a new stream. Other platforms do not even hold the connection.
Youtube holds the stream open. Normal OBS reconnects
That is OBS without the SE plugin
Stream hiccups are a normal thing, even with people live streaming from a phone connection through YouTube. Its resilient like that, so I dont understand where you got that information from?
someone else problems that bot doenst work atm?
Should be fixed in a few minutes
thx
hi all ๐ Anybody a tip on how do i use the super theme? What am I doint with the links which are shown?
@tired niche โคต๏ธ
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 links are designed to be browser sources, each link for a separate scene
you do not have to use all of them of course
ofc ๐
thanks for the info
my goodness that is great service...
Back in the days we had to setup all of that stuff ourselves!
Most users still do, we just direct them to the right place where to fix it ๐
2 questions: How do i add twitch chat on screen ๐ ? and what o i need to connect to have alerts pop up properly?
ofc customizing gonna take a while haha
also, how high are the fees for streamerelements?
what fees?
i read somewhere that their fees are the smallest
they have to make money somehow ... no?
i asume when donations come in part is redirected?
for SE.Pay. yes (i think). If you're using PayPal, you are hit with whatever fees PayPal might assess, but SE doesn't take a cut of those tips
Unsure... I think it's 100 followers
@tired niche โคต๏ธ
SE.PAY is available for streamers who are at least 18 years old, with bank account under their name in one of the following countries, and have at least 101 followers (Twitch) / 101 subscribers (YouTube):
Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, United Kingdom, United States.
If you meet these criteria and donโt see SE.Pay, let us know.
For information on SE.Pay payment methods, their fees, and settlement times see https://streamelements.com/dashboard/tipping/fees
was just curiouse ... doubt ill ever get tipped haha
There you go ๐
btw what do i n eed to setup working alerts like follower or such?
and thanks for your hel
p
in the SE Dashboard you simply need to create an overlay either using an existing template, or one purchased from Nerd or Die/Visuals By Impulse, or using your own custom animations. There is an alert box widget that you can customize in the overlay editor.
my streamelements bot doesnt seem to be working none of my chat commands work
what is your channel name?
ashaliajumbalia90
Custom bot name is enabled - please disable that function and test without it
where do i do that?
in OBS.Live - activity feed - open the sub-menu and set the bot back to StreamElements
awesome thank you!
alerts not working
Can you provide more details about that?
Getting an error while trying to open OBS Live on my laptop. The code execution cannot proceed because VCRRUNTIME140_1.DLL was not found. Please help.
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.
My browsersource are taking so long to load how to fix it? Only when I'm switching scences
You can remove the "shutdown source when not visible" option from there
but beware - those will always be loaded - more hardware usage and they can produce sound
so please do not remove that for overlays that have alertboxes and other widgets with sound
it's only this with some animations. But I'm not sure if I use the stuff from my ssd so get away from browsersource and taking .webm + mp4
Performance? Better?
Thank you, That worked.
You're welcome!
Hey guys i was wondering if someone could help me

can anyone help a noob with an overlay issue?
What kind of issue?
nvm, think i figured it out lol
i have the volume down on my Alerts, but when Stars come through, the Ding that it does on its own is super loud. Anyone aware of how to change that? I feel like it happened after i added Variants. But each variant is down very low as well.
is it possible to download obs.live on mac?
It is possible. I've downloaded it myself
how?
I had obs studio and then downloaded it off of the streamelements website
https://streamelements.com/obslive
Not a problem ๐
Hey, so just a question. I'm trying to switch over to StreamElements and Obs.Live from Streamlabs. I've been having a lot of trouble in regards to importing my settings over from Streamlabs to StreamElements. I've used the chrome extension, but that didn't get everything else I needed
like what , i added them to an overlay made new overlay even tried 3d alerts nothing works
like when someone subscribes
what are you missing from the import?
are your alerts working in your OBS when you emulate the alerts?
yes
Essentially I don't seem to get any of the settings I have. I'm fairly new to streams, so no alerts, almost nothing got carried over with the extension. I just have my overlay on Streamlabs (just made via colour and text boxes) and settings still there
you'll be able to import just your alertbox and tips
So nothing else? Alright. I thought that I would've been able to do the overlay I made :/
Thank you
you'd have to re-create it in our overlay editor
Alright, I was thinking of trying that out, just ended up getting frustrated first time since didn't know how to move around the camera
i have the volume down on my Alerts, but when Stars come through, the Ding that it does on its own is super loud. Anyone aware of how to change that? I feel like it happened after i added Variants. But each variant is down very low as well.
is the main alert for stars low as well?
Yes 3%
are you able to reproduce this using the overlay editor?
No, because it doesnt have the initial Ding sound that goes off when i receive stars
Im not sure why or where that sound is coming from
could it be that this sound is coming from your facebook dashboard or somewhere else?
I wasnt aware that Facebook sends notification sounds. I can look though
