it should show up here
it worked! thanks 😄
any idea as to why it happens and how I could prevent it from happening in the future?
sometimes the bot account doesn't get added properly, you shouldnt have to do this again
thanks a lot for your help ❤️
How do I set up some stuff for my stream?
what are you looking to do specifically?
Channel points and night bot
Btw I stream on Xbox so I’m using my phone for the website
nightbot is not ours, but you can add ours to your channel and then customize the commands here: https://streamelements.com/dashboard/bot-commands/custom-commands
Any idea why the subcount is always messed up when I have sub decay
Im at 959 now, and my OBS Overlay is showing 986
Refreshed cache everything.
Do I just need to be live first?
our loyalty system can be enabled here: https://streamelements.com/dashboard/loyalty
try logging out/logging in and then re-fetch your totals by pressing reset session in your activity feed
So...yesterday I was streaming fine, now, i'm getting o kbs when live, I haven't touched a thing.
im new to this and now its not letting me stream
@hallow warren ⤵️
Please provide a log from your last stream. To do this, in OBS go to Help > Log Files > Upload Current Log File and paste the link to the log file here.

New to OBS? Here is a 4 step quick start guide https://obsproject.com/wiki/OBS-Studio-Quickstart
Want to learn even more? Here is an in-depth overview https://obsproject.com/wiki/OBS-Studio-Overview
I have just downloaded the mobile app
I want to know where can I add overlay in it.
#helpdesk-mobile @gilded otter
Is the streamdeck stuff down?
elaborate
The streamdeck integration doesn't have a central server thing.
That being said, if the integration is not working, simply reinstall it
- Open
%appdata%\Elgato\StreamDeck\Plugins - Delete the
com.streamelements.obslive.sdplugin folder
open file explorer and then type the first line in the address spot
yes
reinstall obs.live then
okay
for me its currently working normally
whats your obs studio and obs.live versions? (top left and bottom right)
is there a way to remove the large header and the filter section on the activity feed(also on the chat as well)? it eats a lot of UI's real estate especially on smaller screen sizes (i'm using a 15" on this).
also, the facebook profile icon on the 'write comment section' is a bit distorted
no, there isn't a way to remove the top header.
Also which profile icon?
hey wondering if someone can help is there a way to have you stream chat show up over you game if you on one screen please dm
you can create an overlay that only has a chat widget in it and after you create the browser source for it, make sure it is stacked above your game source in OBS @cinder ridge
I think that's the widget I'm using personally - #widget-share message
Hello from Dubai.. I just downloaded Stream Deck but I don't have "More Actions" to add "Streamelements" to control OBS.live. I'm following the steps from https://www.obs.live/articles/2019/3/26/how-to-use-the-elgato-stream-deck-with-obs-studio-amp-obs-live
I'm on Mac, if that helps
Hi. The StreamDeck integration is only available for Windows, not for OSX.
Hi im trying to install NDI for obs but the option 'select the NDI output' is not available in my obs live , Pls help
OBS.Live is a plugin
it's not related to NDI (which is also a plugin)
if you can't install NDI, I suggest either reaching out to OBS themselves to check why, or NDI if the issue seems to be related to the plugin
but OBS.Live should not be affecting installations of other plugins on OBS Studio
Thanks
no worries 👍
Tools > NDI output > check the box for either main output or preview and NDI is then enabled. Once enabled you can pick up the NDI signal in another copy of obs on a different computer. If you are having issues with the plug-in I would recommend reading the instructions on the obs forums which walk you through the process
If you’re trying to send output from obs to another app like zoom, you need to have the NDI tools installed and running NDI Virtual Input which can then be selected in applications like zoom and teams
good stuff, thank you Orsu 🙏 @hallow wing
is worth a second look
Hello, how I can use OBS Studio without obs live?
Uninstall OBS.Live plugin if you have it installed, you can do this from the windows programs menu just like every other software. OBS Studio will be left if you just uninstall OBS.Live
No, i don't want unistall it i will use it for a few minutes without obs live
For testing you could install a separate OBS Studio client if you wish so you can experiment with it.
But when i install a new obs, then it writes over the obslive settings?
Not if you do a separate installation or use a portable version of Studio
okay, thank you
hello there, its this the chat room to seek help about setup my obs for best/least blurry stream at twitch for game escape from tarkov?
would try it in #tech-talk - so you can discuss it with other livestreamers. etc.
aight tyvm
Is there a smart way that in the StreamElements overlay maker you can set the chat tesxt in the middle of the chat box on the right above it instead of gambling?
hello, how do i add a subgoal? i added it in overlay but how do you decide the number etc?
In the top right of the editor there is an icon with gears in it. That’s your data for your goals. You can edit the goal there.
thank you so much ❤️
Still having issues with my stream elements dock chat (dock, not overlay chat), says it is unable to find my live stream, so it doesnt display chat messages. Ive tried re-installing SE, Ive tried logging in and out numerous times, ive tried reconnecting with new stream keys and nothing will work. It worked for the longest time until a week or so ago.
*streaming to facebook by the way.
@indigo raven ⤵️
StreamElements menu, on top of OBS > Logout > Login
I've logged in and out numerous times trying it. Said that in my previous post.
My bot keeps posting a message when I go live, saying 'The remote server returned status code 500 Internal Server Error' doesn't seem to impact the stream negatively, but does get a little frustrating seeing it every time I go live. Any fix for this?
check your timers/commands, sounds like a response from a broken custom api
ok. thanks
Has anyone reported any audio bugs with M1 macs?
Crashes some times when messing with audio filters. Noise Gate simply doesn't work. It will show it's silent but when watching the stream you can still hear the mic
that's a tough one, we usually try to help with issues related to core parts of obs but I think you'll have more luck finding an answer to this particular issue in the obs studio discord
I'm not being able to receive tip. It's showing "Error, Seller restriction" in the screen when someone is trying to tip me
Alright, I appreciate the prompt reply
@stuck spire someone is already helping you, if you keep spamming you're gonna get yourself muted
Bueller?
I've lost the ability to use a custom bot with obs.live - When I've tried disconnecting my streamelements bot connection entirely on twitch and now it doesnt seem to connect back at all. After I authenticate my bot it does not appear in the drop down anymore. This started prior to removing the connection on twitch.
Yeah it doesnt seem like StreamElements - Custom Bot shows on connections at all now..
@royal willow ⤵️
StreamElements menu, on top of OBS > Logout > Login
That did not resolve my issue.
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/re4theQ.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
Is there a smart way that in the StreamElements overlay maker you can set the chat tesxt in the middle of the chat box on the right above it instead of gambling?
this?
Hello. My activity feed in OBS.Live doesn't show up redemptions. I have checked and the filter to show them is enabled. Thanks
Depends what you mean by redemptions.
Hey guys, I hope you’re all doing well. Dumb question: at this time, I don’t want to use a full overlay and just want to have Alerts set up. How can I have the Alerts set up separately without the rest of the overlay?
Just make a blank overlay and add the alert widget or copy it over from another overlay.
channel point redemptions
We dont support them yet.
morning folks, quick one hopefully. On the Alerts side of things, before i get my chosen sound effect for alerts i get a bell ping sound anyway of removing that? Doing a horror stream tonight and dont want the bell to alert me to an incoing like, dono or stars?
ok thanks
what are the redemptions available in the filter menu for then?
Stream store.
ok thanks have a good day
OK awesome, thank you so much, Kei.
i can't update obs https://i.imgur.com/TJVNNLd.jpeg
Try that
Then see if you can update it
i have a problem how do i save the scenes to import? when i reinstall the obs i don't want to it all over again
OBS.Live has a cloud backup function, but you might want to use the local backup too:
Top menu - Profiles and Scene Collections - export both.
Following up on my report of authenticating a bot within obs.live - It seems like when I click authorize which should redirect to https://api.streamelements.com the redirect never happens. The window closes and the bot is not added to the picklist. Even after logging out and logging back in, I've also removed the StreamElements - Custom Bot connection with no luck at a resolution.
Anyone have any idea on how I can get StreamElements - Custom Bot added back to my connections?
And authenticate my bot?
@royal willow ⤵️
- 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.
doesnt look like my local host will resolve with that port
maybe a port forwarding issue?
should the target look like this: "C:\Program Files (x86)\obs-studio\bin\64bit\obs64.exe" --remote-debugging-port=40404 ?
ok I got it to work, for step 8 though, do I set the custom bot name back inside of obs?
Please test the bot without the custom bot name first
test as just streamelements?
Yes, of course. First you test that the bot is operational in the default configuration before you use the custom bot name
Ok, thank you!
It is not functioning correctly. I'm seeing that half of my custom commands are not working, what is really strange is now the streamelement bot shows in the chat console but not in any type of chat overlay.
That was not happening before.
Before streamelements would at least appear in the overlay
Make sure all bot accounts are modded
So the bot can execute all commands does not matter what name it is set to (default or custom)
yeah they were modded, but the bot now showing in the overlay is kinda worrisome. Should I delete the chat overlay and try to make a new one?
Wait, the bot is showing what and where?
If you use the channel chat widget - the bot will of course show up in the chat widget.
The bot is showing in obs.live in the chat widget yes, but in the overlay on the browser source no
What widget is used in the overlay?
And in general if the bot works in the chat - it is set up correctly
Please reload the overlay and check. Again if the bot functions correctly in the chat on the platform, then we are good to go.
I'm dumb, I had streamelements excluded on the overlay itself

This definitely worked and resolved my original issue with my custom bot name! Thank you so much @nova scaffold !!!
streamelements why dont you detect my camera!! just downloaded streamlabs and thye detect it so why dont you?? @full thunder

That worked. thank you
there is a trumpet noise playing randomly starting today when obs streamelements is open... when i lcose it it goes away... no sources at all.
When it's open, can you see if there's an audio source playing it?
i have done almost everything. i have 0 audio playing what so ever, but the moment i open streamelements obs.live it starts playing a trumpet "boom boom....... boom boom....boom boom"
i close obs it stops instantly ... randomly started today.
Can you share a recording of that?
@quick atlas even after loging out but keeping it open it still makes this noise
I unlinked obs and stream elements and it seems to have fixed the issue...
I wasn't able to hear the sound in that video, but I'm not sure what would cause a noise like that to play just by having it open
hello everyone. I am having an issue with my event rotator widget. on streamelements looks well but on obs it looks cut, I try to make it bigger but it doesn't change anything. as you can see on the picture, it should last event, but it just say la even does someone how to fix this please? so that i can use streamelements. Thanks so much for the help
What size did you add the overlay as initially?
this the info I hve. I am really new to streamelements,
i noticed about a year ago media request unbans were manual, is this still the case? if so, i would like help unbanning busterblock69.
@ember tangle ⤵️
The default resolution for StreamElements overlays (theme and custom) is 1920x1080. Please add them in OBS at their full resolution and use CTRL+F to fit to screen if necessary. You can then downscale your stream in OBS settings > Video if you'd like https://i.imgur.com/6bWXxjR.png
thank you
hi all. for some reason the chat bot in stream elements is super blurry, if i move my mouse over it then it clears up. any idea why?
@arctic pier ⤵️
Please provide a proper screenshot with the issue visible. If not sure how to take a screenshot, you can check here: https://www.take-a-screenshot.org
So I'm testing the Media Request feature and I realized it can be played in two ways: through Stream (widget) or just by playing it through OBS dock. Now I'm just wondering, can I generate a separate Audio Source for the Media Request Dock so I can split it in the Audio Mixer?
@drifting latch ⤵️
How to separate Media Request (MR) audio in OBS:
MUTE MR FOR YOURSELF, STREAM CAN HEAR
- Make a new overlay in the editor, ONLY add the Media Request widget.
- Add a new browser source in OBS, add the URL and set the dimensions correctly.
- Tick the box for Control audio via OBS
- Go to Edit > Advanced Audio, set your MR overlay to Monitor Off. Note: This will play through the Desktop Audio, if you mute your desktop audio, it will mute the MR.
CONTROL AUDIO SEPARATELY FROM YOU AND STREAM
- For this you will need a VAC (use command
!vac). - Run your MR either in Chrome or in Ground Control (use command
!gc). Note: Do NOT click on SHOW ON STREAM. - Set Chrome or GC in the VAC as an audio input and output.
- Add the audio output from VAC as an audio input in OBS. Note: This will not be able to show the video in OBS.
not really sure where else to ask this, but does anyone know how to make a text widget such that when it gets longer it expands to the left instead of the right?
like i'm making an overlay for the right side of the screen but the positions are relative to pixels from the left side
Remove the width setting on the widget to have it expand to the left
the width setting is already blank, and i'm not sure how to have it expand to the left
i tried both of those and it still expands to the right
The only thing I can think of is doing this actually
ohhhh i see
so the "Left" coordinate is the furthest left the text can go, and the width goes out to where it ends
thank you!
Speaking about removing the width, I'm trying to remove the width of a Text widget but it cannot be removed, once I input a number it cannot be deleted and be blank.
you will have to recreate the widget
as by default it doesn't have the width set on it
oh really, why can't it be just deleted?
its a bug
Just got everything set up, but my media request player is doubling the audio. Any ideas?
@spiral flame ⤵️
Make sure to :ballot_box_with_check: “Shutdown source when not visible” for all browser sources (all OBS scenes). If using studio mode, uncheck “Swap Preview/Output Scenes After Transitioning.” Also, keep in mind that sound can play from any overlay loaded in the browser (editor or launched). https://i.imgur.com/6bWXxjR.png https://i.imgur.com/yY0wcFl.png
Thank you for confirming. Also related to the width expansion, if it's blank (Auto), the default behavior is it expands to the Left Right. What if I want it to expand on both sides (not anchored to Left or Right)?
Its default behavior is to extend to the right, not left
and no, it cannot be set to extend to the left or centered extension
Oh sorry yea Right
I see. So what is the purpose of the Alignment options in the Text settings? Is it only when the width is defined
yes
Ok, thank you for the answers! I guess I just have to set a fixed width then
@shy mountain any fixes for the double audio that you know of?
that didnt work
Then I need more details on how you are using MR
never mind im dumb I got it
What do I do from here it's just stuck now
Do it later
How do I do the bot activation and tipping setup?
You can do that from the website. Just make the bot join your channel and then add a PayPal email and enable SE.Pay if available here https://streamelements.com/dashboard/tipping-settings
Thx got it
Hit play, it sounds like a trumpet. @quick atlas turn the volume up, and it’s at 2secs and 4secs
I started doing streams just a few days ago and although I did gained a sub or two, it's not showing in Dashboard or alerts. Could it be because someone who unsubscribed, subscribed again?
got a question but no idea where to ask it.. can I edit the chat output from the roulette command and put in my own emotes for example?
Hi. Yes, you can edit the messages in the Roulette module here:
https://streamelements.com/dashboard/bot-modules
thank you
hiii i can edit my overlas how to do
Hi, i'm having issues with OBS.Live
I have my stream set up with overlays created by the Streamelements overlay maker, but when i open obs studio the overlays do not load and when i try to open the properties OBS crashes.
Hi. Crashes in OBS usually indicate more significant issues.
So i would recommend checking the crash logs and maybe do a clean reinstall
then we can take care of the overlays.
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
Make sure you follow that little guide how to add overlays^
I've done it, but when i try to edit the source right now, the whole program crashes
This is why i recommend to check the crash logs and maybe do a clean reinstall first
Anyone?
There's a way to download the overlays from streamelements and put it on my own pc so i don't have to access them from internet?
And keep them in my local pc?
wasssssup
I can't get my media request widget back, does anyone know how I can get it back?
Anyone?
No, all overlays are always online - cloud overlays.
Are you able to load the overlays in the browser?
Open the link in a regular browser
If those work, there is something wrong with your OBS settings or the OBS installation.
Yes, they work when i put the link in my browser
If i uninstall OBS and OBS.live i lose all my scenes?
Not if you back them up, we recommend a local backup. Export your scenes and profiles before reinstalling.
Hi, I need help about commands
Please ask your question
How can I setup a command which plays a sound instead of some text ?
We do not have a direct way to play sounds on command. We recommend you using the audio perks in the stream store together with the redemption command and the corresponding widget.
ok thanks
How do i return obs live to regular obs studio
Hi all I use Stream Elements OBS studio and want to know how to add a league of legends overlay?
For my stream

Stteaming in FB. Is there a way for obs.live to know the viewer count? I'm using 1 pc 1 monitor setup at the moment and can't interact with viewers pro actively using obs alone. It defeats the purpose of the main features like chat and activity tracker
had reset pc & now when i go to authorize my custom bot twitch channel it all goes through as normal but no custom bot name & send test message still blanked out , can anyone help because the stream elements support on twitter is no good

so im having a problem where if someone hosts me the alert doesnt pop up on my stream
@sacred seal ⤵️
Due to changes to Twitch API, we have filtered out hosts and will only show these ones on your activity feed:
- All hosts coming from an online channel with at least 1+ viewer
- Auto host events with at least 1 viewer - only from a channel that just went offline
Note: If you see X channel has hosted you with no viewers on the back, that is considered an offline host or a host with 0 viewers, we do not show these.
can some one help me? I have a question: My viewers are requesting songs that are waiting for approval,but my Mods aren't able to see the requested songs that need approval.
You need to grant them permissions to access media request queues in your StreamElements dashboard.
I’m not entirely sure how to do that
You need to give them Bot Supervisor permissions
how would i do that sorry
in the streamelements website click on your name/picture > Click Settings
right here?
yes
click that picture > click on your name > Click Settings
No
you click Bot Supervisor and put your moderators e-mail address in the text field next to the Send Invite Link button and then click the button
ok then then they will have contorl
👍 thank u so much
could someone help me get sound on my obs from the capture card please
Had an issue today with my audio and wanted to see if maybe I just set it up wrong in OBSlive. My Mac is on the latest version of Catalina. I ran my mic through my Rodecaster and had a guest’s audio and video coming through Skype as the NDI source. Problem was that my audio didn’t go through on the stream until I added the same exact input a second time and just hid the original one. But I was seeing signal from both sources in the audio mixer. Is this something that just using iShowU will fix?
The goal is to have a remote guest join the stream with the host and guest on separate audio tracks so the audio can be repurposed for a podcast.

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.
echo issues again... I installed StreamElements on my Predator PC, trying to duplicate my desktop setup. At first, I couldn't hear my alerts when I used my commands. Then I created overlays for them and I added them as browser sources. I could finally hear them, but the alerts echo. I can go to the StreamElements site and play them with no problems, but that means no one can use my commands without the echo happening. Any advice?
@frozen light See the bot message
The one about slobs? I'm not using it...?
OH! wait, my bad...
I'm sorry, I meant Streamelements
Ok, fixed
Hey guys, I hope all is well. I put my overlay's browser link into my Browser source but I don't see the alert pop up when trying to test it out? Is there something I need to do in the Overlay Editor? It pops up fine there.
@frozen light ⤵️
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
@silent stone ⤵️
You can test alerts via the Emulate bell on the lower left side of the Overlay Editor. Simply go to your Dashboard > My Overlays > pencil/edit button on the overlay. Make sure the Preview LIVE on stream option is on to see the alert in OBS/XSplit** https://streamable.com/vtulg9
Ah, OK... thanks for the response! I also realized that I needed to check "shut down when not active" in Properties. Appreciate it!
@kindred fox i am so sorry to bug u but i dont no were to put in the email
i got it this far with out the email did i do it right?
probably although I would make them bot supervisors like I said to do earlier
They should be able to click their name in the dashboard and then see your account listed and swap to it to manage the media request queue
can anyone help me with why my chat in SE obs is all burry?
can you provide screenshots please?
try removing the dock and adding it back
i did, didnt work
Do you have an Nvidia GPU by chance?
i do
HI, I'm quite new to Stream elements and OBS so pls excuse my noob question...I'm trying to add a countdown timer to my starting soon screen. I created a new overlay, selected countdown timer and it pops up in the top left corner.
I make some adjustments and all is good. It shows on my OBS screen. However if I move the 300x100px timer box from the top left in stream elements into the centre, it then disappears off my OBS starting screen. Any ideas why?
I'd recommend checking the overlay size and the browser sources size match
@rugged quail ah yep I see now. Yeah that was the problem. Thank you for your help. I understand it now.
Hi. Is it safe to update my OBS to 27 yet? I have OBS Live 26 that I got from the streamelements site
I get the update pop-up daily when I launch the program
It should work but in the event something goes fucky wucky we can try troubleshooting.
Ok, thanks.
Hello. I have the newest update for OBS and I've been gettig audio delays on my games ever since.
Is there a way to fix this?

I am still being showed as live in SE but the stream ended a while ago. Is this the reason when someone subscribes, the alerts doesn't show? Or is it because the person had unsubscribed and subscribed again?
Or I am doing something wrong?

Hi, I have just downloaded obs live for mac. is there any easy way to move panels around? I am getting nuts trying to fit them in because they won't resize or go where I am trying to get them too
When I close it and open it again it kinda works for two seconds then bam
By panels do you mean the docks? In the Windows version you can pop them out, or drag them around to lock into different sides of the screen. I've never used the mac version though.
yes mate thanks, it is possible on mac too, it's just really hard! you grab one and try to move it around but it doesn't give you space for it
now most of my controls are gone
I can't see any controls
try to move it to the side
I am trying but the software looks stuck because it doesn't give me any options
it's only giving me this space
by removing stats most things are back now but still I can't move docks as shown below
I will find a solution somehow
most important problem of all. I tried to move my overlays and stuff from streamlabs but obs is getting stuck and giving me error. any thoughts? I can leave with docks moving but not without overlays and stuff
youve imported the overlays fro SL?
the ones I have on my stream now I copied the webm file. obs have problems importing them for some reason
it gets stuck
hello! hope everyone is doing well! I am having some problems while trying to set up a custom bot name with obs live.
I am logged into my account and in the activity feed panel I go into stream settings > custom bot name > choose set custom bot name from drop down > click on connect custom bot account. all the requirements are checkmarked. the obs browser pops up and i log into my bot account, go through the verification steps, and authorize everything. THEN the browser closes and nothing occurs... the send test message button doesnt light up and theres nothing new on the drop down list.
I have tried reinstalling everything from scratch, logging out and back in, parting channel in the streamelements dashboard on my browser, tried setting up the bot on ground control program to no avail (couldnt find the button at all haha)
im also running obs live as admin and have checked firewall permissions and all just in case it was related but nope...
- 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.
holy heck that worked! thank you so much for the quick and easy response (: good day

A question, is obs.live updated for the latest version of obs?
It should work with OBS v27 yeah.
Hey i need help, I have created several scenes at OBS.live and have used a complete overlay and now I have the problem that the Elgato of me has 2 scenes inside but when I start OBS I only see a picture in one scene and in the other scene is Black Screen

Hi, I was wondering if streamelements had spam filters for TTS? Such as if someone types something that repeats 10 times, it could ignore it? I hate having spammy alerts/messages

I cant see the option for custom bot name anymore in SE OBS
I tried doing the previous suggestions about debugging and the console and all that with the localhost but I cannot even see set custom bot as an option. Help please
So this is happening... Hoping this is Streamelements and this is the right place. Essentially, I need to log into Facebook, not Twitch, and no matter how I mess with this window (dragging, stretching, separating, etc) I CANNOT make it show me where to log into fb. Also, Ground Control isn't working whatsoever. I've uninstalled and reinstalled it and nothing. So if I do go live, no alerts. (Streamlabels isn't working either, but that's a separate issue.) Help please?

Hi guy's I need a help how to turn on a loop on the MP4 as allert? I know how to do it in OBS but how to do it in stream elements?
only gifs will loop, you'll have to include the loop as part of the video
I fix it I duplicate a MP4 in Davinci)))
Um okay tried to share my problem but I tried to share my error code I got warned for posting a link. How else can I share my error code?
As for my actual problem, I don't feel like retyping all I had out but long story short I installed OBS but it won't open but instead gives me an error scene + code. Yes I did reinstall and install again. Didn't fix it.
^ obs.live btw
not just obs
a simple screenshot
or use 1 ` before and after the link
https://ctxt.io/2/AACg9WX-Ew
Sadly can't screenshot it. It's code not just a message lol
go to streamelements menu > obslive docks > chat
in OBS
Alright, already enabled
Then my trouble is another, sry
Actually I want to put chatbox in the overlay
oh, then you need to do that by creating a new overlay and putting a chat widget in it
from the overlay editor, click the blue + icon > stream tools > stream chat
So I can do this only from Streamlabs OBS?
from the streamelements website, then you grab the URL and add it to your OBS
does anyone know how make sound work with test alerts? I tried to go to settings with the auto monitoring yet still nothing works
my videos have sound but not alerts
I keep trying to add an overlay scene to my obs but its cutting off most of it
how can I fix this?
@distant socket ⤵️
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
not sure what this is but seems to be something for google support
What
i fixed my sound problem!! what a goof i had my sound turned down to super low. Turned it up and now i can hear my sound alerts
is anyone available?
how can I help?
hey there. so i just changed my name on twitch and went live a few mins ago. as i went live i noticed i didnt get any notifications from a bit dono. then i realized my chat wasnt showing up on my screen either. as i went to do a scene change there was an error and it crashed the stream
i know the stream crash is an obs issue but im at a loss at finding a fix for the chat and notification sounds
@median apex ⤵️
If you changed your name on Twitch, please follow these steps:
- Visit https://streamelements.com/logout and then log in again by connecting with Twitch.
- On the right side of the dashboard page that opens, select Join under bot settings. If it says Part select that and then select Join to send the bot to the chat. Don't forget to mod the bot by typing /mod streamelements in your channel if you have not already.
- Post your old and your new name here so that we can update your channel's chatstats tracking (must be done by staff).
no way is it that simple🤣
Hi!
I have a problem where the browser input is 'cropped' on obs

Thank you,
How do I add them at their full resolution?
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
Everything works, thanks!
nice 😄
Can you clarify?
on your alerts or stream?
stream
Twitch has a built in delay except for the one on OBS
try reducing the delay on OBS to the possible minimum
that should help
i stream in yt not twitch
same difference, reduce the delay on OBS to the least amount possible
i did
then also theres 20 sec of delay
you can also disable the delay as you can see
ok
I am having an issue with the Login Module failing to load in OBS. Making it so I can't use any of the modules specifically from SE.
which module?
Simply the login. It won't let me login via SE in OBS so I can't use the stream chat or activity feed that allows replaying alerts
what are you getting when trying to log in?
@spring prawn ⤵️
Please logout of StreamElements at https://streamelements.com/logout and then login again to your account (Twitch/YouTube/Facebook).
It just can't load the login module... it shows that little ghost. I am gonna uninstall it to see if that works then try logging out if reinstalling doesn't work
can you please send a screenshot?
uninstalling it for the 3rd time tonight finally got it to work
So I was wondering, the option to part bot from channel, should I part my bot after streaming ends or I should let it remain there?
Would it join automatically in next stream?
theres no need to part your bot unless you dont want to use it.
Understood. Thanks!
Hi:) I have 2 monitor setup and most of the time my game is on monitor 1 but now since I've sign up to stream elements, OBS is on monitor1 as well. That won't be a problem if I could drag it to monitor 2 but I can't. I can't drag the window, I can't minimize it, All I can do is close it, but not with the "close" icon in the top right corner of the screen but by RMC on an icon inn taskbar. How to change that? How can I be able to switch OBS to my 2nd monitor? I could do that with vanilla OBS
hey guys, was wondering if anyone could help me figure out a problem im having
Go on
so i just recently got NordVPN and now my chat constantly reconnects itself
Have no clue, but maybe just don't use it while streaming
ok, thanks for the help, i didnt know if anyone else was using it and had an issue or not

Is anyone having lots of issues with OBS this last week or so?
It its crashes all the time, the OBS-Live update fails every time. tried reinstall still crashing, freezing, not saving clips.
Which OBS.Live version do you have installed now?
27.0.1
its weird as well, whenever I close OBS it just doesnt close fully. like it hangs in the background.
I mean the OBS.Live version, not the OBS version. 🙂
OBS.Live version is in the bottom right.
I dont know why but the OBS.live finally updated and installed. Ill do more testing and get back if I have issues.
Ok, keep us posted. 👍
Hey everyone, hopefully someone would know how to fix this
So this happened fairly recently ever since I installed my 3080 a month ago and still... low virtual memory.
Did some upgrades and found a trade so now I have 2x16 3600Mhz RAM and a 3090 with an i9-9900k. I JUST did a fresh windows install and i KEEP on getting this error, simply just having OBS open while playing, Im not even live at this point.
I have not touched the page file at all i still dont know what to do. any help would be wonderful

hello this weekend i reinstall my computer but i lost al my overlay's on obs live can i find them back on streamelements?
Hi. If you did use the could backup, you can get them from there.
so i am trying to stream stardew valley. have done it before with no issues. for some reason when i am trying to stream it, the game goes black and the obs on my other monitor moves to the left... i don't know how to explain it. this also happens when i try to stream fnaf. is there something i am doing wrong, please help.
where can i find the backup?
OBS.Live - top menu - StreamElements - Cloud backup
Only if you have saved that before
OBS.live is crashing everytime on launch. Already tried uninstalling and reinstalling it.
Normal OBS opens regularly, btw just for information sake.
Have you checked the crashlogs from OBS?
We need more information why it is crashing
It gives me a bunch of error codes. How should I provide those to you?
The crash messages from the logs might be useful
Okay, how do I check those? Totally forgot, haven't had to troubleshoot OBS in a while.
Is it an "Oops OBS has crashed" or something else?
No, the main title says "OBS.Live quit unexpectedly."
I'm on macOS btw, not Windows 10.
Click the option to expand the details then paste that in discord to create a txt file.
Could you try removing StreamFX and see if it still happens?
Sorry for taking so long. Just having trouble uninstalling StreamFX.
Try removing these
StreamFX.so from Contents/PlugIns
StreamFX from Contents/Resources/data/obs-plugins
FFS bot
I'm not sure if I am posting this in the right channel or server, however, I received a tip back in March and it has yet been sent to my PayPal. Can anyone assist further with this?
I've been having trouble lately with the Twitch Chat Dock provided with Stream Elements. It just never connects to Twitch chat. Is there a fix for this?

I have an issue where I can’t change the resolution on my webcam on OBS.live
that will depend on your webcam and its drivers
I have an avermedia and when I use the RE central streaming software I’m able to change the resolution but when I go to OBS it doesn’t let me. Also I have Mac so that may be the problem but I genuinely have no idea. I tried a webcam with my phone, mac webcam, and also a J5 create webcam
hello, ive been streaming on youtube for a while and want to move to twitch, how do i change the activity and chat feed on my obslive to twitch ?
Hey there, im having an issue with Kappagen. used to be that i could use my own custom emotes, but that doesnt seem to be an option anymore. is there a way to fix this?
Hey! How do you download an overlay to your computer from streamelements
try doing it in regular obs to see if this is an obs or obs.live issue
@glacial seal ⤵️
StreamElements menu, on top of OBS > Logout > Login
those emotes are not available for now, our devs are on it
big sad. thank you for the quick answer
@slender haven you don't download them, you use them as browser sources
@slender haven ⤵️
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

how do i transfer or sync my obs scenes on two different computers? @ocean rivet
you can do a cloud backup from the streamelements menu
ok so i setup on the one computer then back up on cloud and on the other computer i go in and open the cloud backup?
correct
do i add alerts in the same way as i do for the different screens? or do i have to add in alerts for each of the screen display
not sure what you mean, alerts need to be added for each scene
yeah... how do i do that? the same way i added each scene? @ocean rivet
yeah, just add a browser source on each scene
thank you for all the help ❤️❤️ @ocean rivet
Hi all my browser sources aren't showing
you mean you cant see your overlay or alerts on OBS?
Hi 🙂
I wanted to ask when Obs Live V27 is coming to MAC OSX ? 😦
OBS.Live has a different version numbering. OBS Studio 27.0.X is what you are asking about right?
yes 🙂
That would be a question for the OBS guys of when v27 is to be expected for Mac
Obs.live is a plugin for OBS Studio for the best OBS support, please join their Official Discord @ https://discord.gg/obsproject
OBS V27 is still on mac, but not obs.live
ah so it is, my bad
on windows obs.live is a plugin, but on mac osx its a full obs software not a plugin
obs.live should be compatible with the mac version as well
at the moment i have to choose:
- Obs 27 without my SE Bot & features
- Obs.Live old version without the amazing Obs Studio v27 features like "undo" and more speed on mac
so my question is, when obs.live will be updated...
So you didn't attempt to install the plugin with obs 27 installed?
you cant install obs.live on mac osx like a plugin on windows ?
Am i the SE Support here or you guys ^^
oh wait, i just saw something from the devs
27 is not supported right now for Mac
as its missing a specific feature
devs are looking into it, but no ETA
oke thanks...
Also asking if you attempted to install the plugin after installing the main software
is a good support question
is there a Way to connect my SE bot into normal OBS Studio without obs.live ?
I'm just trying to gather information and you only mention your 'options'
no because, on MAC OSX you cant install plugins like on windows... i can only install and download OBS LIVE, a full software package
And i'm not aware of that, because I don't use a Mac
So thank you for the information on that regard.
oke no problem 🙂
is there any chance ?
No
ok thx
Hello. I'm having audio delays on my OBS program. I never had this issue before. My settings have not changed and this occurred shortly after the release of OBS 27.
Can you please provide the OBS logs?
Nevermind. My friend was able to help me resolve the issue.
I just had to disable "Use Device Timestamps" on my desktop audio.
I tried and it still didn’t work 😦
hey, my media resuest dock in obs is just blue and idk how to "activate?" it
@azure ginkgo ⤵️
StreamElements menu, on top of OBS > Logout > Login
Yeah, and where my activity feed and twitch chat would normally be is now a blank white space.
try logging out and logging back in
Ok, am I allowed to send pictures here ?
That seemed to make it worse 😭
You can send a screenshot
I imagine it worked before?
Can you send us the OBS logs please?
did that happen after the update to version 27?
check you firewall, it might be blocking the updated plugin
Have you checked it?
Hey! I have reset my session data so there is now no subscriber count and follower count. I have the last follower, last sub and last donation and top donor, but I find the sub count a bit difficult to adjust, because does the system now detect if a sub is lost or added to the sub count?
I will check it now
Yeah its still the same
I have reloaded the latest sub alert and now the sub count is on 1, how can I fix this?
And by the top tipper, there is no data. But now I can do in the session settings the name and ammount but I don't know that if she is donating again that it is going plus the ammount that it was and if someone that is the second top tipper is going to donate and is going to get above the first top tipper if the system know that
@stray frigate Apologies for that unintended (and unfortunately forgotten about) mute but you're free to talk again.
I've actually inquired with the dev for StreamFX and he said it might be an issue with your hardware not properly being supported.
As far as deleting it look in /Library/Application Support/obs
@gentle musk after a session reset. all session related data resets back to either 0 or no data
as for top donos and such, if they're set to session based, then yes, new donations would skew them
But can I do the tips or something again that the system knows who the top tipper is and the second etc.?
If it is a difficult way it is no problem.
it knows who it was before you reset the session
this is all assuming that your widgets are session based, are they?
I think so?
in that case, it would start counting anew from the moment you reset the session, that's just how the widget works
Ohw, I think I've found it, the top tipper is now fixed. I have set the time to all time instead of session
Yup 😛
Thanks, but the subs count is keep standing on zero. Can I fix this?
if it's a session sub count then it will auto correct as people start dropping subs
I have make a new sub count, and I did choose from total subcribers
Ohw, I have reloaded a sub and now it is the correct count. Thanks @rugged quail 
perfect
hi i just spoke through email with streamelements staff and they told me to downgrade my obs to before the obs 26 update. How do I exactly downgrade my obs version?
Can you let me know the ticket number please?
i believe its 132062
There isn't a need to downgrade to obs 26 right now
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
please try this
the main problem is that without control audio via obs sometimes my audio gives out. then when i switch to that it works for a little bit then completely stops working so i switch in between the two. sometimes both options do not work and audio is gone.
thats why they were telling me to downgrade if that was the case. it worked prior to obs 26.
Unfortunately, downgrading might not be the answer here, since you mentioned that you hear sub sounds but not follower sounds.
oh okay gotcha
What Im more thinking is the above from the bot or cache or cookies
maya stated that the sample rates doesnt match the rest so that might be it as well
might be worth cleaing the cache of the browser source first
and going here: %appdata%\obs-studio\plugin_config\obs-browser -> deleting cache and cookie folders
restart OBS and maybe PC just to be sure
and even try and removing and adding the browser source again
I got another question, someone has changed her name on Twitch but now by the top donator alert and on the tip site of my channel by the leaderboard there stands her old name. Can I fix that her new name is standing there or maybe that if she donates another time that the name wil be updated to her new name?
thanks again for the help, ill try these tips out.
if they donate under different names it will show as different entries
You can edit the tips you see in the revenue history, and make sure the names match @gentle musk
Thanks!
no worries
I have done this and it is fixed now, but on the overlay the top tipper and latest tipper the old name is keep standing
you can manually change that. try to first refresh your browser source (right click it in OBS > properties > scroll down > refresh cache of current page) cache and reload your overlays (from the activity feed),
if that doesn't do it, you can manually edit the labels from the activity feed > widget data > labels. make sure to save settings and reload overlay
that shouldn't cause any issues with future events (be it the same user with the same name or a different user altogether)
By the labels I can only change the latest tipper, and if I change by session data the top tipper and creerer and I do Save changes and I reload the page the fields are blank
hey guys, not sure if this has been posted in here. but in the last month i feel streamelements is making my stream on obs studio crash due to memory leak. do we have a fix?
did you already check if this leak doesn't happen when OBS.Live is uninstalled? @late prism
what's the current status? the labels are missing? you should be able to manually enter data and save it. is that not what's happening?
Hey peeps, I need some help on setting up StreamElements on OBS live. The top banner says the bot activation and tipping setup are finished, however the setup won't complete. Anything I can do about it?
i logged out if thats what you mean and it still happened
not sure how to uninstall it
if you could go over the articles real quick https://strms.net/getting-started @rugged quail
essentially if you've completed initial setup on the website, you can go ahead and start it in obs.live too, it should insta auto complete and then not show again
@long bobcat on the labels section there is only a latest tipper and not a top tipper
you can uninstall by pressing 'start' > type appwiz.cpl > press enter > look for OBS.Live > right click > uninstall @late prism
Unfortunately, that's what I've done anyway. I've done the setup in the browser before installing the software 😦
And if I fill in a field here on the session data and press save changes and I reload then the fields are blank @long bobcat
yeah that's how it should be, you can't edit top tipper as it's accumulated data @gentle musk
you can have the widget show different intervals
don't edit session data, edit labels
so just start it in obs.live. if it doesn't complete you can also try to press do it later
play with the window size of you don't see the option, it can be elusive sometimes 
uninstalling now @long bobcat have you had this happening recently??
But there there is no top tipper and that is what I want to do because the top tipper keeps standing on the old name
not that I can say. if the plugin is the cause it shouldn't happen when you test without it
and if that's confirmed, we will reinstall obs.live and replicate the issue and get the logs
I can see the relevant button but I'd like to setup the bot using OBS since I want to use a custom user for that :/ Any other option to do that?
i had it happen the other day so i uninstalled all of obs studio and reinstalled and it still happened so ill see how next stream goes with obs.live uninstalled
there's probably a misunderstanding here
here is how you set up a custom name - https://streamelements.elevio.help/en/articles/53-creating-a-custom-bot-name-with-obs-live
it doesn't matter how initial setup is complete, via the website or the program, as long as it's done and you have the pre-requisites (shown in the article) you're good to go
yeah, feel free to ping me when you have an update, even better, reply to this message when you update so we have a direct link to the discussion
I see, guess the video I've found on the topic was a bit misleading. Thanks for your help!
no need to repost, I was looking into it still and as you could see like 4 users kept asking questions without pauses, so patience is appreciated
I think we simply have the old information in the system and it cannot be changed even though we manually edited these tips
I'm not sure if upon their next real tip under the new name the top all time tipper will be updated.
as a workaround you can enter their name and all time amount (from 'aggregates' in the activity feed) into the session data, and then change the top donator widget to be session based
and if this isn't fixed using the 'all time' option upon their next tip, you can ping me and we'll look into it with dev
can someone help me? after i got ban bot dissapears

Hey @everyone
I needd help with the connection between my Elgato Stream deck Software an OBS.Live because the connection Plugin is missing, I know that I have to reinstall OBS and Streamdeck but the BIG Problem is that my Streamdeck Software is bugging because one of my drives is dead an I had to reinstall it and then was a big BUG couldn´t reinstall it because of the old Version. My friend downloaded the Programm for me on his PC and send me the Files, then it worked but the PLUGIN doesn´t work.
did you install the plugin from the plugins library?
at the stream deck Store?
yeah
yes
and does it show up in the right panel?
what pre-installed plugin?
the normal for OBS without Streamelements
then you'd have to do a fresh install of obs and streamdeck
i have reinstalled obs several times but i cant reinstall stream deck because of this
I emaild elgato for this but they hadn´t any idea
no idea what could cause that 
No problem i hope it work next week 😉

It is, thank you very much 🙂
if you have streamelements obs its obs.live (it should say obs.live version at the bottom right of your obs)
@ocean rivet Thank you for that. So now im wondering why i don't see the obs.live option on my streamdeck. Would you know anything about that or should I contact elgato?
there's a plugin that you need to install from the stream deck store
@ocean rivet you are awesome!! Thanks so much
@ocean rivet uhhhh how did you get to that site, i cannot find it, my apologies for bothering you
there's a small icon at the top of your stream deck window that looks like an rgb keyboard? lol
@short lightill 😫 😆 im so stupid lol
@ocean rivet FINALLY!!!!! I have been trying figure this out for 3 days! You are a life saver. Peace and Blessings
Is there NOT a way that we can export our Custom commands as a CSV? If so, I can not locate it anywhere. Also, the "Stream Elements>Backup Settings & Content" = FAIL
no current way of exporting commands 
Well, Sh*t. That sucks, We are trying to figure out a way for "guests" to spin on our channel but still be able to utilize their channel commands/overlay/Nano commands when they "visit" us. Other than creating an ingest server etc.
How can I reduce the GPU load from OBS?
lower res/fps or using x264 instead of nvenc
I want to keep the stream in 1080 60fps but damn it uses so much gpu and I have a 2070 super
try using 1664x936, its a great res 😄
Also making sure that OBS isn't on the "Hardware-accelerated GPU Scheduling"
Where is that located?
under output?
Assuming you're using Windows, yeah?
@vocal kiln Windows Key > Type "GPU" (It will show you "Graphics Settings") Click that
It is set to off
Okay, good. What are your stats on GPU usage when steaming? Do you have a Lot of Scenes/ Sources happening?
heyo folks o/
I have some of the sources as browser in order to reduce the load on the pc. ill try removing some of the ones I never use to see if that also helps
having a weird issue with a game in obs.live - tho i'm sure it's the game - as soon as i click off the game (Solasta) the audio goes off (multiple monitors) ... any ideas how to get the audio to persist?
I think it does the same with Valheim
as soon as i click back into the game, the audio comes back
Now that I know about this chat support next time Im steaming ill get screen shots and have actual examples. I already appreciate the help
I have 16-17 Browser sources on my streams and only running about 20% GPU
ill take notes next stream and see what I average and what it peaks at
You can click on Settings> Stream> and Check Bandwidth Test to check things
Rounding up its hitting a high of 24%, is that high? It feels high
What is "Service Host BcastDVRUser Service? Is that related to obs?
18% ish GPU. I run 1080/60FPS/ NVENC H.264/AVC (via FFMPEG)
edit: I run My DJ Software/ Visuals/ 2-4 Cams with Shaders and effects done all from one Laptop. I7 9750H (9th Gen.) GTX 1660ti Both Undervolted 32Gb RAM
That's not bad numbers there
Shoot sorry, I overlooked this. One moment and I will edit this to give a proper reply
So that Bcast thing uses 20% was game DVR form the xbox app that mixed with OBS was 40 to 45% so now its now to not even 25% in OBS. Awesome! Thank you for the help I dont think I would have found out what that was for or doing lol ill let you help others. Thank you so much
I was just about to say turn your Game Mode off in windows
No problem! That's what community is all about. I've been through that same issue and went from OBS using 40+% to now 18-22% depending on what I am incorporating (Source Mirrors and such) Not to mention I also have StreamFX on my sources and that tears into some performance without killing off the unnecessary crap from M$oft.
@spare salmon Have you checked "Advanced Sound Settings" and viewed the Input/Output of the Specific Game? I had that issue before with using VAC and my audio quitting when I tabbed elsewhere.
Any chance you may know anything about this @ocean rivet IDK if you saw the reply of mine after the other assistance. Apologies for tagging you, I just wanted to see if there was any idea of something available or if I am trying to be too forward moving for current Development haha
hello! I have the StreamElements leaderboard on my channel, but for some reason it doesn't have my chat stats. It might be because I changed my Twitch username a while ago. Is there anyone who could give me a hand with this? thanks in advance! the twitch channel is shiodere
I'm not sure what you're referring to, could you elaborate on that?
whats the old username?
the old username is kozakishino
you should see a new page created now
thank you so much!
you're the best!
Hello! I added my name to the user management section and ever since then my custom OBS.Live name doesnt work... the bot does not type into chat but if i change it back to streamelements it works
does anyone know why? and can help?
was working fine yesterday, and i even went back into my user management and i cant find myself in there to delete it..
Sorry I should’ve elaborated better we are DJs and trying to bring in other DJs i.e. channels into our channel for guest spots or guest slots… One of the issues that we are wanting to get past is when they come to our channel they can bring their overlays with them so their viewers that know their current commands in their channel Can use those same commands on our channel for their stream. That make a little bit better sense?
@unique gulch that doesn't have anything to do with the user management section, try this: on obs.live remove the custom bot name completely and add it again, this should refresh the connection between the default bot and the custom bot name
I have done that and even changed it! Im trying to use my own name (twitch username) as the bot name and it doesnt work anymore
although if i change it to the custom bot name or streamelements it works
ohh I see, I don't know any way to do this easily, unfortunately
i see, then you just need to log out and log back in @unique gulch on OBS > StreamElements > logout / Login
wow.... you're amazing
Thanks so much... mind blowingly easy and simple.. now i feel a little stupid hahaha
Hey, it was worth a shot to ask haha. I've researched this as a potential project to resolve but wanted to check in here first to see if someone may know a way to resolve vs creating our own ingest server/ bot/ headaches
always gotta start there i guess🤣😭 Thanks again ❤️ @honest echo
Hey I downloaded obs advanced scene switcher and it didnt show up in the tools even after I placed it in the file location. Any pointers?
NDI 5 will be able to do this, but it isn’t out yet
i need some help! i have a 6900xt and a i9 cpu with 32gb ram, however i still get massive amounts of rendering lag in obs! STREAM LOOKS LIKE CRAP! but my game plays flawlessly. idk what the issue is, i have done everything under the sun and i am at a loss. i even drop frames in the main menu start up. please help
can you share your logs?
obs or gpu
OBS
are you asking real time logs? because i dont know how to pull up history
go to help > log files, you should be able to upload logs from there
Hi, i have a question that may have a simple answer:
Does anyone know of a plugin or a bot that i can use with OBS.live that can notify me of a user typing in chat like with a simple ping or sound, just so that i know someone has typed in chat
try limiting your ingame fps so that your gpu/cpu is not overloaded with the game
@ocean rivet i did that, i set it to a min of 60 max 120 and nothing changed, my obs render time is 9 to 20 ms
would this be better in a voice chat?
can't do voice chat but try uninstalling obs.live and see if the issue persists in regular obs
ok
how do i get my cam to pop up on my elgato?
I am attempting to start a stream using obs.live but when i press start streaming the text " Stream start requested" and a pop up box appears labeled "Start streaming to Youtube" with nothing inside of it and it gets stuck here indefinitely. Has anyone encountered this?
I use restream.io as well

Hello. I am attempting to record using OBSLive with Stream Elements and I was wondering if there is a way to paus the recording

Thank you
Hellow I need helpo
Hello. I am trying to install obs websocket and wanted ot check if obs.live is compatible with it.
OBS.Live is a plugin for OBS Studio same as the websocket, so yes they are both compatible.
It was my fault. I was trying to install the newest for obs 27. When its 26.1 right now. Installed fine with the older install. Thank you.
hello, im trying to get my ps4 party sound to my stream. i dont rember how to do it with the sources. i can hear the game and my self with my other mic but not party chat. is there videos for this?
@glad sonnet ⤵️
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
i have a capture card already i need to know how to do the sources
will i be able to stream valo smoothly with using obs live in low end pc of 8gb RAM??
Obs.live is a plugin for OBS Studio for the best OBS support, please join their Official Discord @ https://discord.gg/obsproject
That would be for both of you @hollow elbow @glad sonnet
dumb question but how do i find the dashboard
thx :)
Sometimes when I'm streaming, my mic starts to get an echo. I already muted any other potential audio inputs besides said mic. Now that I finished the stream it's back to normal, so I'm guessing it's something to do with the quality I'm running things at? What settings should I check to stop this from happening
My bot just stopped working but StreamElements saying that bot is online and working
@ocean prism ⤵️
Go to the Dashboard > Right side > Part channel > Join channel (https://streamelements.com/dashboard) https://i.imgur.com/uYVb8OK.png
Also this possibly
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/re4theQ.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
bot is working as StreamElements but not works if I'm trying to set custom name
have you created a custom account for the bot to work of?
I'm using my main twitch account as bot
yes
- 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.
now it works thank you

@long bobcat
Hey man just streamed for 4 hours and didn’t crash. Unfortunately it’s something in that obs.live
you're not meant to change aggregates
you can install it again, replicate the issue and provide us with the crash logs
I'll take it up with dev
Hey man I did the reinstall before contacting you guys. But yeh I’ll install and try get the crash logs
Heyy streamers & tech wizards~! I'm new too obs.. (yikes? haha)
Currently having an issue with overlay URLs, specifically trying to get the overlay to fit the screen, instead of only just the corner of the overlay appearing.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
native resolution both in OBS and in the overlay system should be 1920 x 1080 @rugged quail
Please feel free to refer to the following set of articles for great information on the getting started process - https://strms.net/getting-started
my window capture does not show up on my obs anymore. i change it to whatever i want it to show but it doesnt show up, any advice?
Hello, I have a problem with the chat alerts. They are not displayed in the chat, although they are switched on. What kind of mistake did I make?
Make sure the module is enabled, as well as the specific alerts.
Do commands work in your chat in general?
What do you mean by specific warnings? In general, the commands work. @soft knot
I just got a follow alert, so it seems to be working.
i see it......why is not function with test?
okay, thx.....than all my questions are finish
What and how did you test?
When I go to my overlay for the alert box, it doesn't work, that's what I meant by test
Okay, I didn't know that. I saw this in a YT video of someone triggering this offline
Thanks for the quick help
Okay, I will wait until she maybe is going to donate another time and if it isn't fixed then, then I will ping you :)
Hi, my overlay that I'm using won't show up in my browser source, does anyone have any advice for how to fix it?
@dark ruin ⤵️
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
Make sure the resolution is correct.
hello I need help pls, when using the docks for the chat or stats in obs it just shows as a white page. I have checked updates and restarted and nothing, anyone knows about this? :c
also the se browsers arent showing in any source either
Please log out from the StreamElements menu at the top and log back in.
I tried but when clicking login it just tries to prompt something that quickly disappears
Meaning, you can't log in?
hello im having issues since the latest update and memory leak issues are the biggest problem. when i start stream things seem fairly normal but within 10 minutes this happens. I have 32 gigs of RAM so this shouldn't happen. don't know what to do at this point and am in need of help
anyone?
my display area is looking vertical instead of horizontal...anyone know what could be causing this?
I just created a rotator slideshow in overlay editor and its not transferring the image over to my stream. I went through the overlay editor through a web browser instead of through stream elements and its still not working. It works in the editor but doesn't show the image in my stream preview. Any help?
after you created and saved the overlay online, you added the url as a browser source and nothing showed?
@quick atlas yes my like animations worked before then so when i created this i copied the url and pasted it into my browser source and my animations still work but not this new slideshow
What's the timing on the slideshow? If you have some time in between switching pictures, you may have to wait for that first cycle to start
@quick atlas the timing is set correctly at least when i watch it on the overlay editor i just don't see it between looking at that and then looking at my stream preview in obs
@quick atlas its like its not transferring over for some reason.
@languid lintel ⤵️
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.
I can take a look and see if it's acting up
Hi. I am using streamelements Chat Dock on my OBS, but it is asking to login to interact on chat. The problem is when I try to login Google says that I am using a unsecure browser and don't allow me to login. Anyone know how to solve this issue? Thank you.
@dapper igloo 60752684f97b458a4b972629
@quick atlas okay thanks if you need me to do anything just let me know.
What size did you add the overlay as?
@quick atlas the jpg size is 180x150
@quick atlas the width and height of the overlay is 1920x1080
I tested on my end, and it turned out fine. Try this for me
@languid lintel ⤵️
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
@quick atlas i turned off the browser source restarted obs and enabled it and restarted obs again and still nothing on the obs preview just in the overlay editor
Can you share a screenshot of OBS with the overlay added?
@quick atlas first one is with the overlay editor and the second one is with the window closed and it not being shown on my obs preview
I'm going to remove the first one since it has some private info on it, but let me look at the second one
@quick atlas i just deleted it and remade it and now it works
@quick atlas well its weird if i try to move it in overlay editor now it wont move but its actually showing on my obs preview now.
@quick atlas nevermind i got it now we are good thank you for all the help!
No problem!
Thank you SO MUCH for posting this!!! Trying to update obs.live with OBS in portable mode was driving me NUTS!! You, good person, are a friggin DEITY!!!
Hi, ich use OBS Studio first time. If i setup for stream to Twitch .. I setup all right. But if i click on "go online"... it always start ... go online to youtube. In setup i already connect Twitch.. and in Twitch i can see that obs is connectet. How i can switch that if i press the button go live.. that the stream to twitch will start and not to youtube? thanks a lot
Hello, I'm using the fade transition but when i switch scenes a white light also shows up in the fade? Here is a video of it.
Hey quick question. When dealing with the audio, what is the difference between "Monitor Only (mute output)" and "Monitor and Output" in regards to the viewer?
Monitor only means it doesn't show up in the recording or stream, only you can hear it. THen Monitor and ouput means you monitor it and it shows up in the stream/ rec
is there a user who yould help me please?
@midnight stag , thanks! So when looking at the Audio Mixer, both my Desktop Audio and Media Source are lighting up when playing my Media Source. Will there be double output to my viewers if this is happening?
Yes because if you have your sound going to your headphones, Then you have your desktop audio set as your headphones what ever is being sent to those headphones the viewers will hear.
Awesome Thanks!
So I want to choose Monitor (mute output) because I only want them to hear what I'm hearing.
Is there a plugin that you can do that for every scene you can get an other transition
Hi, ich use OBS Studio first time. If i setup for stream to Twitch .. I setup all right. But if i click on "go online"... it always start ... go online to youtube. In setup i already connect Twitch.. and in Twitch i can see that obs is connectet. How i can switch that if i press the button go live.. that the stream to twitch will start and not to youtube? thanks a lot
I think you mean that each scene has a different transition right?
Yes, indeed :D
So Right click the scene
Push Trainstion override
Then you can choose any transiton
Ohw yes, I mean that if you go from for example game to cam that there is one transition but if you go from begin screen to cam that it is another transition
Okay, no problem. Thanks for the try! Someone that does know it?
What's a good way to stop my mic from peaking when I laugh? If I lower it any more then I will be too quiet. It's not really peaking as much as the compression filter is just making me sound weird
I think you add a limiter in the filters of your mic but search a tutorial for a limiter
hello, I am having trouble streaming to YouTube! i recently added youtube to my stream elements account, i created all my dedicated youtube scenes, then I logged out from OBS.live to and connected to youtube. However, when I press on start streaming (making sure all stream keys are correct) a blank window pops from OBS.live titled "start streaming on youtube" and the OBS start streaming button says "streaming start requested" but I cannot start my stream anywhere.
p.s. SORRY For the long detailed issue.
Hello im trying to put a browser overlay on my stream but every time i try to put it on nothing is showing up. If i could get some help that would be greatly appreciated, thank you!
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
Also note nothing will show until triggered if it's just a alertbox.

i disabled that nothing happened. Another question, why dont i have launch overlay on my stream elements
Got it thank you very much!
I'm having the same problem, when i redeem a item from the store, the animation dont pop up
How do i fix an authentification failure ? Invalid refresh token
how do I use the custom overlays
I wanna be able to switch between scenes
nvm im dense XD. figured it out
Anyone know if there’s a simple way to scale an overlay, in streamelements editor, from 1080 to 720 without having to resize all widgets & text?
No way around that.
Bugger
Thankyou btw
There wouldn't happen to be any weird magical barrier blocking communication from SE to OBS would there? For whatever reason my overlays have decided to yeet themselves into the void.
Glad I could help! :)
how i can fix this ?
its happening since 2 or 3 days ago and i dont have any idea how improve this.
Wanting to switch where the sound comes out of a virtual audio cable - A instead of my headset from streamelements overlay editor?
Hello i need help pls. how do you crop your cam out like i can crop the cam but the red box when i crop it dont crop
eyy SE fam! hope y'all are well 🙂 trying out the Trovo integration on OBS Live, and whenever I try to type in my chat dock, it opens the website. any ideas?
with alt?
having trouble getting the move transition to show up under my scene transitions. any help would be great!
yes
You find a way to make different transition per scene ?
Hi guys! I have a problem with the streamelements alert box,
(sorry for my english first of all)
When a new alert arrives, i get the respective alert and sound, like a follow for example,
but if get a new follow right there,
this new follow wont show up neither sound
I have OBS Live, can be something related to that?
hey! anyone else having trouble accessing their streamelements dashboard?
it just seems the browser is hung up. Same when trying to go to my .live site
are you using chrome? is this when you try to log in?
I'm using Firefox. The login seems to work fine, but then when I go up to my account icon in the upper right and try to choose Dashboard, that's when it just hangs
Yep just opened everything today and StreamElements isn't loading the sidebars in my OBS and not loading its web pages in Firefox (I can get some parts to load in Google Chrome, but nothing is making my OBS show up correctly.) I even tried reinstalling but no luck yet - #helpdesk-selive
nm had to change Chrome to my primary browser then it let me log in correctly and all the StreamElements sidebars showed up again ❤️
yeah it seems I'll be staying in Chrome for streamelements stuff from now on 🙂
Hey
Just wanna check should I put all my streamelement widgets in a single browser source or keep them separate rather?
And how does it affect my PC (running a r5 3600 and 1660 super)
Your choice. Whatever is more comfortable for you.
I think that putting everything together in a single overlay will make it easier on your CPU/GPU, but I'm not 100% sure.
Yes I have!
looking for some help... i am using a 2 pc setup with a go xlr while using obs live. I have the go xlr setup on the gaming pc, while running two 3.5 mm cables to send audio to the stream pc and back to my headset for alerts. However obs will not detect any type of audio what so ever. I have my "line in" selected as my mic/auxiliary audio.

I have blocked 2 followers but the follower counter does keep standing on 241 instead of 239, I have reloaded the overlays but it doesn't work. Any solutions?
You have to go in and manually change the number in session data on the overlay editor i believe
Hi there! My alert aren’t working at all. Can’t anyone help???
does streamelements chat don't have support for bttv emotes?
you mean for the chat box widget?
Type !emotes update command in your chat then reload/refresh overlays.
@tawny dagger ^^^
I have typed that, restarted obs and still didn't work
but i have also noticed that the comand doesn't seem to have done much
but the bot comand is on on streamlements website
Make sure you have enabled !emotes command
this right?
Yes
Just to make sure, can you provide another screenshot like in #general-chat, but with the whole windows and not cropped?
I'm talking about the one with the green text
Alright so first of all:
You're talking about the overlay, not OBS. So this setting has nothing to do with that
