yeah i figured, but someone asked it before, if i have used the wrong terminology i'm sorry english is not my first language
Don't worry, but please follow the bot's instructions
Please mod the bot type /mod streamelements in your chat
and try this:
That won't help, since the bot isn't in the channel
did it
@tawny dagger ⤵️
Go to the Dashboard > Right side > Part channel > Join channel (https://streamelements.com/dashboard) https://i.imgur.com/uYVb8OK.png
Yeah but the bot is not moderator 😄
when i am on sources it dosnt allow me to add a brouser source
Now type !emotes update in your chat
did it
and refresh/reload overlays
ok just a minute
Just wanted to point out that modding won't fix it when it isn't in the channel.
Why? Do you get an error? Do you have a screenshot of what's happening?
Ok, thanks 
Wait a few minutes, then reload the overlay again. Sometimes it needs a bit to refresh.
I'm having trouble with connecting my Custom bot to Obs.live
I go through the process of logging in, verification and then give access to Streamelements
and then I click done and then the login window closes and it's still not connected
@runic thunder ⤵️
- 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.
Why is browser source not popping up
Third option "Browser"
All of the things in the list are "Sources". This is a Browser "Source"
Thank you! ❤️
still nothing unfortunately
i have restarted my computer to see if that would fix it but nope
There one more thing you can try.
Right click your browser source -> Properties -> Clear Cache button at the bottom
If that doesn't work I'll ask internally.
Don't worry
@long bobcat Hii! I was live today and the person has donated. But the top donator name wasn't updated. Can we look into it with a dev?
Hey all so I have been having a problem with OBS taking up 30% of my cpu. I have isolated the problem to the browser source that my overlay is on. Does anyone have any ideas on how I can lower the cpu usage of the browser source? I already have hardware acceleration on but idk what else to do to fix it
Why is it that even though I have a compressor and a limiter, my audio clips heavily when I laugh? As if it's going past the red in the volume.
Probably dont have the compress set up properly
Damn
What you want to do is talk loudly into the mic and turn the gain down until you hear a difference and then drop it by 10 db for some head room
I just figured it out, it's nvidia broadcast that's making my laugh sound demonic
name on tipping page didnt change after changing twitch name and it has been 2 months
I tried the log out log in thing
man, idk what to do but im live, public and everything but still is "waiting for my stream to go live".
anyone knows about this?
when I´m importing scenes from Streamlabs(after one year of not using it) obs.live instantly crashes. Can u help me pls?
The name in the tipping page is just text that you can edit in the tipping settings.
That usually means - incompatible files. Make sure all files are below 30MB and have the correct format to be compatible with our platform.
ok they are literally no files below 30MB 😄
Well time to edit 🙂
ahh sh*t here we go again
Good afternoon, guys I put a custom sound when someone gives me the sub, and now I took that sound and wanted to put the default alert, how do I do it?
is it possible to export the overlay I have on obs.live to the streamelements site?
why is it only giving me the option to stream on youtube?

hi i use streamelements as bot on my chanel but now it says that my bot isnt in my chat. what can i do now?
@void ermine ⤵️
Go to the Dashboard > Right side > Part channel > Join channel (https://streamelements.com/dashboard) https://i.imgur.com/uYVb8OK.png
no its says its currently not in my chat
anybody else having problems with the emotesplosions overlay? it stopped working for me all of a sudden. thanks in advance for your input
Im trying to use streamelements for my alerts. Nothing comes up when I test an alert on my obs but it works on the website. I also am using the chat box from streamelements which works fine
@tranquil gate ⤵️
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
Any specific issue with the emotesplosion?
I have tried all of this btw still nothing on my obs
Do you hear the audio of the alert?
Let's try this as well
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
my mic wont work
Hey im trying to upload my overlays made from the website over to obslive, and they aren't converting over to it.
@full olive are you adding them via browser source?
I don't believe so
@full olive this should be quite helpful to ya!
https://www.obs.live/articles/2020/3/5/how-to-customize-your-obs-stream-layout
yes when i go to streamelements and emulate the emotesplosion, nothing happens
does the emulation in the web browser show the emotesplosion?
no it does not. it used to. but all of a sudden it stopped...?
don't know what u guys did, but it's working now, tnx
Have you tried deleting and readding the browser source itself?
you mean in OBS?
Yes
You could also try refreshing the browser source itself too
I'm not sure why it wouldn't be working on either the preview or the obs scene. Do other alerts/animations work normally?
i'm not sure if removing the layer in OBS will help bc when I log into streamelements i don't even see the explosion when I try and emulate it. yes other explosions work but not the "new follower" "new subscription" explosions which are key to my streams
Let me look at it and see if I can spot anything, can you share your account ID?
@drifting kiln ⤵️

I'm not sure if this is the right place to post, but I'm having trouble with the media request portion of streamelements. For some reason Im the only one able to requests songs, but when my followers enter the command it doesnt go through. I've looked over the settings and not sure what to do
@mild shadow mind screenshotting the MR settings?
Change minimum user level
Actually 
The exempt I think should override that though.
Change it and try.
THANK YOU SO MUCH! That worked. I really appreciate it
@vital stag ⤵️
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 seperate obs windows there all connected and i cant disconnec tthem
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.
@midnight stag ⤵️
Obs.live is a plugin for OBS Studio for the best OBS support, please join their Official Discord @ https://discord.gg/obsproject
can you elaborate?

like my activity feed chat and preveiw are all together and ai cant drag them to different screens its locked or soemthing
Do you mean this?
yes that
im trying to get my activity feed to the left of my enable preveiw screen wher eit shows my gameplay
Did you see how i separated them?
yes
Ah cool
so where can i download stream elements i have obs studio but i like to use stream elements instead
do you have tom have obs studio installed ot use stream elements or no
OBS.Live is a plugin for OBS Studio
o okay
you don't have to use our plugin
but it does have the activity feed and custom bot option
ok got it
so dont select obs studio correct
just have that unchecked
only thing checked is OBS.live Add -On
Because you already have obs studio installed
ok so no need to select obs studio then okj
yep
Can someone help, now when I click start streaming on OBS it just loads it doesn't actually go live with the green streaming icon at the bottom. Anyone having or had this issue?
re-check your streamkey
if you are not using a streamkey,but have logged into OBS, disconnect -> connect
Hey man can you help with this
All the setting on OBS are fine, even when I click to close down OBS the two tabs for stream chat and activity stay up then when i try to close them down it says program not responding
@midnight stag
Ahh sorry I don’t see it
@normal granite so are you using a streamkey or do you have the "disconnect" button in the settings -> stream section
I am using a stream key and sever for Facebook gaming, i have been for awhile not but the past two days now the whole program has stopped working, i uninstalled the whole program yesterday and it worked but it stopped working this morning again
Have you restarted your PC?
Yeah, multiple times
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.
I don't see anything here.
Can you provide the log file again, if you kept it running for a while now?
No update on the log file.
When you click on the start streaming button, do you see a pop up show up asking you which settings to use?
I tried the browser source hardware acceleration option and it didnt work 😦
do you hear sound from OBS when testing alerts?
i do not

Still didn't work
When you click on "Start Streaming", do you get this pop up?
when i try to add an audio thing to my widgets its mp3 it does this can someone please help
I would suggest to use your browser for that
Also update to v27
No, once i click start streaming it doesn't do nothing apart from grey out the start streaming button
So restart OBS. The Chat dock should look something like this:
wait actually how do i use the browser for it?
https://streamelements.com/dashboard -> my overlays on the left -> edit on the overlay you want to edit
Yeah i have that chat dock and activity dock but when i click start streaming it greys the button out and doesn't do nothing, when i close down OBS the two docks stay on screen
I have also clicked on the live video setting buttons and clicked go live and it still greys the button out and doesn't do anything
Right. I would suggest to check your stream, again, thoroughly that you are copying it properly into the stream key field.
All stream key and server is added in, they haven't been changed or touched, this has only started happening the past two morning, yesterday morning i had to uninstall everything to do with OBS for it to work but when i turned the PC on this morning it happened again
@long bobcat Hii! I was live today and the person has donated. But the top donator name wasn't updated. Can we look into it with a dev?
This does not provide me with an answer that you went into the OBS settings -> stream tab and removed the current stream key and went into your facebook page dashboard and added the stream key as fresh as possible.
Colleague is not on shift today. What is this about?
I have done that also and still the same outcome
Uninstall just OBS.Live and attempt to go live
It goes about the top donator overlay alert. Someone has changed her name and the top donator name of her doesn't change, and she donated again and it doesn't changed
And then he said if it doesn't changed then we are going to look into it with a dev
Ohw lol, thanks!
I have uninstalled everything to do with OBS and stream elements including user settings and it now works at the moment
I will reset my PC to see if it continues to work
My suggestion was to only remove obs.live
not everything
as you've already mentioned that you reinstalled OBS before
Yeah i tried removing OBS.live still was the same, for some reason it only works again after i remove everything from the system
If the issue is still persisting even after removing OBS.Live
then we can't help you any more. Its a general issue you have with OBS Studio not connecting to your page for some reason

thanks keizar it worked
My sub counter says no data. And if he got data, he is counting the sub points instead the subs that I got so the tier 2 subs is 2 sub points. How do I fix that there is data and can I change it to subs instead of sub points?
hello can anyone help me
does anyone know how to get their overlay and display capture at the same time?
Please post your question here
follower counting not correct counting
Overlay usually sits on top of the display/game/window capture and is mostly transparent. So what exactly do you try to configure?
Please provide more details, what widget do you look at and what data do you compare it to?
@nova scaffold on my facebook page I have 161 followers but in streamelement its shows 113
Facebook has some issues updating data in realtime, it will catch up over time, but i can't really say when. Resetting the session and logging out and back in might help here.
@nova scaffold I have already tried it for logout but after log out from streamelement, my all overlays automactically deleted everytime
The overlays are saved in the cloud ad will not be deleted unless you close the account (submit a request to delete it).
We are talking about the total data here, we get that from the platform, but Facebook has minor issues with it
okk
I use obs live to stream with twitch and for some reason by alerts do not pop up during my live stream. i have the browser source connected on my source list but it won't physically show up during my stream. the stream elements chat portion of the alerts pops up within chat but again - not as the alert bubble
Do you hear the alert sounds play when an event should happen?
What size did you set when you added the browser source to OBS?
800x600
Add them at 1920x1080 and see if the emulated alert works
even with my overlay at the same res? itll completely wipe it no?
here's another question - is there a way to preview it within OBS? when i go to preview on stream elements its blank
sorry just not seeing it
I feel so stupid right now haha, why are my overlays always so tiny and not fitting like I want them to? For example, I am trying to add a chat box to my stream and it's so small. I have to change the font to 100 just to see it. I made the resolution for the browser source 1920x1080 too. Not only that, but it doesn't fit correctly in the little red outlined box while moving overlays around. Sorry for the paragraph!
For example:
Yes, our overlays need to be added at 1920x1080 as that is the native resolution
@restive hedge ⤵️
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
@restive hedge ⤵️
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
Is OBS set to use a bigger ratio than 1920x1080?
The base canvas resolution is 2560x1440, but I downscale it to 1920x1080. I got it to work by keeping the chat box overlay at 1920x1080 and just moving the chat box around in the overlay editor on the streamelements website. However, if I need to quickly move my chat box do I need to go to the website to move it?
Sorry if I word stuff in a hard to understand way 
It would be best to edit the chat box in the overlay itself, and leave the browser source as is for the best result
Moving it in OBS might not reflect the change you want. It may work, but doing it in the overlay editor will keep you from needing to adjust OBS
Okay, thank you!
@quick atlas were you able to see anything on my account?
Did you end up sharing your accountID here? I may have been out when you replied 😅
Yes I shared it and tagged you

Sorry to ask another question, but how come my chat box doesn't show FFZ emotes? I'm logged in on FFZ's website
Do !emotes update in your chat and then refresh/reload the overlays after 5-10 minutes of using the command.
Make sure you have enabled the !emotes command.
Thank you very much
You're welcome.
hi! Im trying to set up stream elements and i wanna use an overlay but i cant figure out how to get it into my scenes from my browser, anyone know how to :?

My sub counter says 10 but I got 72. And the second thing, he is counting the sub points instead the subs that I got so the tier 2 subs is 2 sub points. How do I fix that there is data and can I change it to subs instead of sub points?
My elgato 4k works everywhere just fine, the moment i open streamele obs it freezes and i need to recconect it to the pc just to make it work, once again works just fine everywhere else both discord and other streaming apps the moment i just open the app it destroys it
@gentle musk ⤵️
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.
It keep standing on 10
hi

For the OBS chat overlay?
hello, you guys know if OBS elements its buged?
I was using last week streaming with music and it was working fine not saving sounds on VOD.
after this sunday stoped to work, discord, browser etc
My viewers can only hear my game.
i guess...? one that i could use while playing
for streaming
is it better to have obs on ssd or hdd
or does it not matter in performance?
I guess we would need to know the setup you use currently for chat to see if there are better options
It’s still not working…

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
@quick atlas thank you for your help. did you notice anything on my account?
it won't let me customized my name
How come everytime I go to stream, it automatically goes to stream to facebook instead of twitch? Even when I change stream to twitch through settings, it defaults back to custom after an error appears once I try to start a stream
can we tagged a staff here or nah?

logged out and logged back in through twitch and it has set stream settings to custom, which is facebook
Could you refresh me on the issue?
Can you change the settings in the OBS options? (OBS > Stream)
yes my emotesplosions overlay all of a sudden stopped working
I think I see the issue. Can you remake the emotesplosion alert box but not change the size, then toggle the "Use full screen" options and test?
remake it from scratch?
Yes, just add a new one to the overlay

do i need to delete the layer in my OBS as well?
If you made the change on the same overlay, you should just need to refresh it in obs
ok so recreate the emotesplosion in streamelements from scratch. but keep the layer in OBS
Yes, as long as you don't make an entirely new overlay.
confused now. so i'm not re-creating the overlay from sratch?
hi it seems that there is an issue with the plugin
is there a way to fix it ?

i may try to uninstall all of obs and the game then reinstalling everything
26 should be work? ... i'm not great with OBS but cane you save a log? we can check that with the OBS log checker to see some common issues
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.
since last update my obs keeps selecting the wrong display and when i go to change display it spreads the box across all 3 screens and i have to drag all the way across to find the apply button. this never happened before the update. anyone know a fix
@mental tree can you do the "Upload File" and get the link? this is gibberish to me 🤣 i use their decoder to translate for me
does anyone have a tutorial on how to install OBS.Live to OBS Portable?
when i point the installer to the OBS portable folder it just installs normal obs
ok um, it may ahve been my setup
i had one monitor on the gpu and the other on the mother board
i'll keep u posted if that was the issue
Why is my own customized overlay doesn't work in obs?
I'm having issues between what I see in the overlay editor and what I export to OBS. I've tried alt dragging it, fit to screen but I can't fit to the correct size. it's in webm format.

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!

No problem, do you see now the StreamElements menu?
Ok so my first problem wasnt even acknowledged. But i have a 2nd problem..... i have gone to start stream and my twitch profile on obs has copied my recording profile and i have lost my entire setup. So i now have to start fresh and set it all up again 😑
Greetings gents! I have an 'issue' of sorts. Since my headphones are used as the default audio output device in OBSlive, the audio that my viewers hear are passed through a filter on my headphones which I frankly, can't seperate due to its limitations. ((Logitech G X Pro Wireless). So what I would love to do, is see if you guys know if its possible to use "RealTek" audio in a way, or somehow make OBS listen to my desktop without passing the audio via my own headphones. So like 2 seperate desktop audios if that makes it clear. Appreciate any help coming my way ❤️
Go into obs settings > audio > disable everything.
In your scenes, add audio output device sources for whatever audio devices you have (headphones, speakers, line out, etc).
In windows sound settings, assign specific apps to use specific hardware outputs, which you can then adjust within obs to create a “mix” if you will.
What if I only have headphones connected to my pc? Would I need to plug in a pair of speakers and mute them on my end to make it work?
uhhh i have this problem again, i cant remember how he showed me how to do it. Something along the lines of deleting a folder? but cant remember what to /run and delete
dw found it in the messages
fixed
Maybe this question is asked frequently but I am cracking my head on this for far too long. I try to add a custom bot the OBS.live but everytime i add the bot in the "connect custom bot account" the next screen asks me to sign in. After signing in, the screen disappears but no custom bot shows up in the drop down menu... Anyone else who gets this problem?

- 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.
If you’re only using headphones then just add the headphones.
There isn’t a way to “mirror” audio from one output to another without an interface
Hi! I was wondering if there's a way to get our iPad / tablets as a source onto OBS? I have some friends who want to do an art stream but are not sure how to go from this!
For more context, they stream on their Windows PC, but have a tablet to which they wanted to add as a source onto OBS so that they can organize their overlay and all. Thank you in advance! :)
hey guys, is anyone available to help me setup my channel
Elgato screen link app
Works great
hello.. i am not new to streaming but i recently got a new PC and i am having issues with dropped frames and such.. its very frustrating. could i get some assistance on settings based on my new pc's abilities?
i7-11700 cpu 8 cores, 32 GB ram, Nvidia Geforce RTX 3060 Ti
supposed to have 1GB internet speeds but my ISP is horrible
It's probably going to be an issue with your ISP then, you can check this out
@wispy stirrup ⤵️
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've inserted a custom font to my css. In browser, it looks fine. Once transferred to OBS it's giving me a different font/basic font. I have the font installed. What am I missing?
@forest crag ⤵️
Google Fonts
More than 900 google fonts are supported at this time. You can preview them here: https://fonts.google.com/
Custom Fonts
Steps:
- Install the font on the streaming PC or choose a pre-installed windows font.
- In the overlay widget settings, select Text Settings
- Click on Enable Custom Font
- Type the name of the font as it appears in the windows font directory (This is usually
C:\Windows\Fonts)
Note: After installing fonts, the browser and OBS must be restarted for the font to appear.
im having troouble to get elements and finding the right install
You mean our OBS plugin? You can find it at obs.live.
i had factory reset my pc so elements is not on my pc and i want it back lol
I see. Navigate your browser to obs.live and you'll be able to download and install OBS Studio with our plugin.
Elements I being difficult when trying to install.
What kind of error are you getting?
It's like saying you can't have anything open to install qnd that kind of thing
I sware I've never had these issues before
What does "factory reset" mean? Did you completely wipe everything?
I wiped my pc. And everything I had is gone for elements
Is there a filter so the tts wont cuss?
yes, you'll need to set it in the revenue settings page
ok thanks
will it do it for bits also?
Yup
yup, it applies for everything
the built-in browser used in obs is not a supported browser according to google, nothing we can do
You can read chat.
You just can't type.
You'd have to use popout chat from browser.
hello, i've some problems with obs (streaming). When i stream I got a lot of disconnection and reconnection. I'm 100% sure it's not my internet because i called the tecnician 3 times, he changed the cables, the router and did some work in the central station. i tried following the normal obs guide but it still disconnect (i even reinstalled windows from scratch). this is the log file https://obsproject.com/logs/2_FpeC94AXAutQ2k the dropped frames go up while it disconnects and it even disconnects with 300 kbps . What can i do?
Unless you meant Mbps instead of kbps, you’re gonna need faster internet to stream i’m afraid
Sorry I meant the bitrate
If you run a speed test, what kind of speeds are you getting for up/ down?
Copied this from google “Streaming on Twitch requires at least 4 Mbps download speeds and anywhere from 3 to 6 Mbps upload speeds. The speeds you need depend on what quality you aim for with your livestream.” So if you run an internet speed test, you’re looking for speeds at or faster than that
I am not able to chat from the chat box of stream elements please help
when I try to chat it says please login to chat, and when I click login it say the browser is not private or something what to do??
Logout then log back in to obs?
then will I lose everything?? i mean the whole scenes and stuff??
Not at all
are you sure about that??
Lol don’t uninstall it or anything, just sign out and sign back in
I am scared
I’ll hold your hand while you do it 🤝
you mean from here right??
Yep!
And you’re trying to stream to youtube?
yep
If you go to settings > stream, are you all setup on that tab? Does it give you an option to connect your account?
Yeah, looks good.
Might wanna delete that image, just to be safe though
then may I know why I am not able to chat??
Try asking the same question in #helpdesk-youtube and see if they have a really simple solution
Can you sign in from the chat window?
when I click on sign in it is telling the browser is not private please try using any other browser
Ty for saving me lol
oh thanks
lmao
I have an issue with OBS. I made a video alert, but in obs the alert is cut off in the sides of the screen. Halp
@naive salmon ⤵️
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
^^^
Can you screenshot your entire obs window?
There I trigger what I need happening. It works on the elements page but in OBS it cuts off
And the browser element is not cropped in OBS
All good, I removed and added it again and boom it works.

quite.
Hi, I can't seem to unmute my alerts after muting them using this button. Preview on browser shows that the alerts have sound, but previewing on OBS = no sound.
@thorn blaze ⤵️
If you are not hearing your alerts and/or Media Request, you are most likely using the Control Audio via OBS option in your browser source properties.
To make sure you hear the alerts and the stream also hears them, follow along the screenshot bellow.
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/199460642975907840/685371800456134686/unknown.png
This isn't the case, but I'll give the bot answer a try and report back anyway
Yeah, still no sound with "control audio via OBS" or without - is there a way to log out of the obs.live extension thing and log back in? I'm thinking that might fix it
@thorn blaze ⤵️
StreamElements menu, on top of OBS > Logout > Login
No dice relogging - no audio is coming from the alerts after relogging, and checking t he "control audio via OBS" setting out - with or without it, there is no sound (and there is on the browser preview)
Browser playing sound, OBS doesn't
are any other sounds working on your obs?
yup, all but alerts work normally
I don't know if this might have to do with it
But that's all I see out of place in OBS
(that pops when I try to edit the overlay within OBS)
what's the name of the overlay you're using for alerts?
"ale"
just ale?
yup
is this for your channel?
indeed
I don't see any overlays called ale
nope, no sound
works!
the volume was set to 0 for that alert
I have a question, right now I am trying to change the amount of points that go into a raffle from 5000 to 1500, I been looking at videos and can't seem to locate where to change them, may you point me in the right direction.
raffle settings can be found in chat bot > modules > raffle
awesome , thank you very much
I got the problem with OBS Live, that the font of browser sources change for some reason to a thin and blurry font
like that:
make your docked window a little bit bigger, that should fix it
I would have to scale it reallly big to get the font right, quite weird, but thank ya! ^^
late response, but thank you!

Hi! how can I change language on activity feed panel on obslive?
On streamelements website I have my language setted as well
Try logging off and back in, although the Activity Feed dock is provided by OBS Studio, not by us.
Which language is the Activity Feed dock in, and which language is your OBS in?
hmm wait. Where can I set the OBS lang?
Settings -> General, look at the top of the window.
Hey guys, I have a question regarding overlays.. so: I wanted to have seperate overlays for each game that I play & my thought process behind this was that I wanted to keep the alerts, sounds (basically everything) the same but depending on the game, the alerts would cover up important info of the game, so my solution was to duplicate the main overlay around 3 times (because i play 3 different games) so i could move and save the position of the alerts on each overlay depending on the game so it doesn't cover anything up (& I wouldn't have to remake the whole overlay with the alerts and such). Then I would make a browser source in each game scene in OBS-StreamElements and implement the URL of the specific game overlay. The problem with all of this is that i noticed that whenever i switch to the other game scenes (where i have the 2 other duplicated but changed up overlays in there), they basically copy the positions of the stuff i moved and saved in my 'valorant overlay' so it basically saves all the settings for every duplicated overlay. Since It took me a hot minute to set the main overlay up with everything, I wanted to ask if i have to make normal seperate overlays and delete the duplicated ones in order for the alerts to stay where i want them to be in every different game? Or is there a way to fix this without having to re-do everything?
ok ya I have my lang setted already
and I have also tryied log out and in from StreamElements on OBS
and from OBS i mean the Activity Feed provided by StreamElements. That is blue and gray
How did you create the duplicate overlays? In my experience, if you right click and choose "duplicate" it creates a whole new one, and edits from the duplicate don't change the original.
You're right, my mistake, it is our dock. So you already logged out and back in from the StreamElements menu at the top?
Yep. I have logged out and all panels disappeared (including the Activty Feed)
I just clicked on the 3 gray dots and duplicated it. Whenever I change something up in the for example 'valorant' overlay, it changes everything up in the other duplicated overlays as well.
that's what's confusing me
o wait.. i think i might know what the issue is
.. i basically duplicated the duplicates instead of duplicating the main overlay for all 3 duplicates.. that could cause an issue right?
I'm not sure what that means. 😆
What language is the activity feed?

alright my bad. hold on 
Instead of me duplicating the MAIN overlay:
Main overlay duplicated-> Valorant Overlay
-> League Overlay
-> Apex Overlay
I did this:
Main Overlay duplicated-> made Valorant Overlay
Valorant Overlay duplicated -> made League Overlay
League Overlay duplicated-> made Apex Overlay
@gray thicket that could very well be the issue, delete them and start over
wish I could do more for you tbh

Hey, I'm working on my alertbox now and it works perfectly in the Chrome overlay editor, but then in OBS I can only see a tiny corner of the alert. The positioning and sizing are not the issue. How can I fix this? (I can add screenshots if necessary)

hi would love some advice on the impact of layering browser sources in OBS. is it better to compile as many overlays into one source or does it not make enough of difference on performance to matter?
Every browser source is a chrome browser. If you have seen the memes about Chrome and RAM, it's always better to have a single browser source than to have multiple. Sometimes there is no choice (like when using a Tiltify/Extra-Life/St. Jude overlay), but it is preferable to have a single overlay with all of your widgets/labels in it than to try to use a browser source for each widget/label.
makes perfect sense haha thank you so much!
It's for this reason alone that I jumped ship over to SE and it's been such a blessing on my computer's resources. 💙
Can someone help me, I am trying to create 2 scenes within 1 source in OBS live and I can't figure it out. I want to be able to toggle between 2 games when I stream like this (see below)
Where are you getting stuck?
I just have no idea how to set that up in OBS
like what exactly I need to do
another streamer told me screen capture but idk
If you have 1 scene setup how you like, you can duplicate the scene (so all alerts and overlays stay the same) then resize your game windows to how you would like the 2nd scene to look
ok I will try that ty

Hi there! Having an issue where OBS.Live no longer shows the options I need to access and edit my custom bot, activity feed, etc. in the StreamElements dropdown menu. It's like OBS.Live isn't even installed? I'm running the latest versions of both OBS Studio and OBS.Live, and have tried reinstalling OBS.Live. Any ideas?
My account ID is 6026fa095905a515760556d1.
Fixed it by logging in again - ignore me!
Hi, have had a few issues trying to connect my custom bot, it works, but i think 5 other bots recognise the same message.
example:
I'm trying to setup replay buffer in OBS - I believe it's working right however I can't find an output file of any kind when using hotkey or hitting button to save the replay. Just need something to replace amd's replay system. Do i have to maybe be streaming/recording already?
edit : Recording in simple mode helped, if anyone knows how to do it using advanced mode lmk
how do i take off the new settings from my obs?
I'm not sure if this is the best place for me to ask, but will 7tv emote support be added to the chat overlay? FFZ recently added it on their side, so I was wondering if there were plans for SE to add it to their overlay as well.
not planned yet, but you can post it to our ideas board to see if it gains some traction there https://strms.net/ideas
Got it, thanks!
i cant download obs live from the homepage, how can i do it?

i go through the steps but it doesnt confirm ive closed it and when i log back into my other account it says its still attached with another account
@late prism no need to close.
Account Merging - Please note:
- Merging accounts only allow faster ways to switch between accounts
- Merging accounts does not allow data sharing between accounts - different streaming platforms, different type of events
- Merging accounts allows duplicating/sharing overlays between the accounts
If you understand the limitations of merging and want to proceed, please find the JWT tokens (!jwt) from both accounts you want to merge and fill out the form here: https://streamelements.com/contact with each token correctly labelled
okay thanks message has been sent
i hope i asked right lol

Anyone know why an overlay widget works with emulate but not when real donations come in?
How do you know you've gotten something?
I'm not sure what you mean
I have someone streaming right now, and he's getting subs but nothing happens. When he emulates it works
Which platform?
windows
Streaming platform
obs
You don't stream to obs.
Are they fresh subs or resubs?
gifted
oh do the data fields impact what the overlay gets? I thought they data gets forwarded to the widget and it does the logic
both subs and resubs come through right? My widget checks the "count" field to see if its a resub. But in this case it should be fresh
not sure why but anyone have any tips on how to resolve alerts not popping up while I'm streaming. It's happened a couple times now that the alert isn't appearing when a new person follows or someone hosts my stream. The only one that seemed to work was the raid alert.
@mild shadow ⤵️
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.

The people who've tried to host me have had 1+ viewers and are still not appearing. The hosts aren't even appearing in my activity feed
So they are not online hosts then
5c8dd75d4d81fd3ae05c1215
events should be better now
this does not include host/raid events
Can you provide your friend's account ID?
I have the same widget in my account
So the issue isnt with my Twitch account but with the people trying to host me with an offline status?
Same widget within the one overlay that I have
thats how the filter works and the bot text says, yes.
I have someone streaming right now, and he's getting subs but nothing happens. When he emulates it works - you are not affiliated so you can't even get subs. I need their account ID to fix their events and so also to look into the donation 'issue'
His overlay has other widgets which are getting events since they are updating
its the one widget which is not
ok well I'll have to ask him later for that. I don't want to bother him while he's streaming
just give me their name
problyovr9000
So I would suggest to let him know to contact us directly in our #dreamteam channel as he is part of the our Dreamteam. It is best we handle this directly and so that we can gather proper information directly from them.
Being a middle man here will make this much slower
ok well I wrote the widget for him so he has no idea how it works. BUt if you don't need any information about it then I'll let him know
a custom widget?
yes
#dev-chat for help about your custom widget
i would advise to check the channel description for all the variables you can use in a custom widget
I cannot help you, because i don't code
and custom widgets is not something we can fully support, due to how different they can be built
so its best to ask for help on fixing the widget in #dev-chat
there are community members and a colleague more suited to help, but they need to be made aware in that channel
ok
how do i seperate my discord voice chat audio from the game audio because im getting both on desktop audio and i want to control them seperately

Hi, I have added an track matt transition but everytime I use it my cpu is goin from 3% to 60-70% in obslive and also the transition is not working normaly. What I can do?
yeah tried that. running it in admin mode also
currently looks like this
try uninstalling obs.live see if it still has the same issue
In my obs streamin my youtube chat is not visible only booyah app chat visible
Since the update my alerts do not work. I have created a new browser for the alerts. They work when I emulate but not when I go live. Raids, subs bits nothing works.
are you streaming on twitch?
you mean the chat dock?
Hi, is it normal that I have a delay of at least one second per scene of the overlay to show up on stream with a SE browser source?
Is it an animated overlay?
Nope, static from the SE library
does it occur when changin scenes?
Yes
Try this stop your overlay from closing, In OBS, right-click on the overlay > Properties > untick Shutdown source https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/712428275049431120/738361175280189489/unknown.png
Note that This may cause issues so it would also be advised to separate your overlays into things that are safe to keep open (overlay images) and things to be shut down (alert boxes).
I will check but I am pretty sure it’s unticked, I will keep you posted, thank you
so is anyone else having problems with the media request and the overlay that plays them or am i just haveing a bad day
No other reports of issues related to media request. So what exactly is happening, how can we help you?
i have the wiget in my overlay and it keeps telling me that i dont and i refeshed the paged a few time now and refreshed the overlay and replaced the widget and it is still not working
Try to create a separate overlay with that widget and add that to your OBS
that should solve that issue
nope same result
that didn't work i will just try again later or tomorrow
This is strange. The media request widget requires an active and loaded overlay to work with the needed functionality in that case
I would recommend logging out and logging back in just in case
i had to relog a few time but it is now working
i have made a video with my alert and it does have the black background how can i remove it
You need to edit the file locally and make sure it is compatible with our overlay editor. I would suggest webm with alpha channel, max 30mb
thanks, i will try
So for some reason I've lost all sound when OBS Live is open everything was working fine then nothing. The sound meter shows I'm getting sound but I can't hear anything and I haven't changed my settings
Is there a way to reset my alerts? I was messing around with the emulator to see if things were working right, and now it shows my emulated subs instead of my actual subs
right click on your overlay in obs > properties > refresh cache
Thank you very much, was worried haha

Has anyone else had trouble setting a custom name for the chatbot?
Not sure this is the right location, but I am having an issue where I'm setting up YouTube streaming, and it hangs on Start Streaming. What do I need to do to get some help with this issue I'm having?
@swift cosmos ⤵️
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
Audio says it's coming though, but when I listen to stream there isn't audio.
Normally rebooting OBS works, but it hasn't this time after 3 reboots, and a full PC restart.

The description before It gets posted
Interesting hmmm ok
Hi there! I'm using a StreamDeck alternative called TouchPortal for controlling graphics and as a soundboard. In order for the app to connect to OBS it needs a second plugin called OBS-Websockets, which works fine with the latest version of OBS. However, OBS.Live seems to be running version 26 instead of 27; the OBS.Live website says that OBS.Live is compatible with OBS version 27, but even if I fully uninstall and reinstall both base OBS and OBS.Live, OBS.Live is only running version 26 OBS, which isn't compatible with the plugin I need. Checking for update within the app does nothing. Anyone know of a way to make OBS.Live use version 27, or is it just not available for Macs yet?
Since Mac's are an oddball when it comes to OBS.Live I've asked staff about it since I'm not really sure how to continue from here.
Hi, I'm having an issue and need assistance.
I got a new 3080 yesterday and installed it, updated drivers etc, when I load fortnite without OBS open i get 240+ frames. Once i open OBS the frames drop to 60-80 and I don't know why.. wasn't happening with my 2070 super. Any help??
Ok, I appreciate it. I’m working for the rest of the day so I may not be able to respond but please ping me if they or you find a solution.
I'll link the staff your message to the problem since I'l be heading off in the next couple hours as well.
Have my answer: Because it requires OBS to be bundled the OBS.Live "installer" it's that one which it unfortunately has atm. Updating to 27 is planned but no ETA.
As far as why the website says it supports v27 that's referring to the windows side since it doesn't require bundling.
Aww that’s too bad. I hope it comes soon. Thanks for your help!
Hi ppl! I don't really know where to put this question, but i want to know if is anyway to put an argument saying the total amout of bits donated by the User
it's that possible?
hi, I'm having a bit of trouble with the chat box on one of my SE overlays. I have a few bots on my ignored users list for the chatbox so they don't show up on screen. I've been trying to add the pretzelrocks bot to the ignored users but no matter how many times I remove/re-add and save the overlay, the messages still show up on the overlay. all other ignored users don't show up, it's only with pretzelrocks im having this issue?
anyone having issues with OBS when tabbed its using alot opr power usage and CPU? im not even streaming on it and it kills my frames. Any pointers?
That's what I did. The third entry does not change to the bots name
I'm having a similar issue. My bot's custom bot name account somehow disconnected and I can't get it to reconnect now. I try to authorize it but when I click authorize nothing happens.

- 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.
What if "StreamElements - Activity feed" is not listed in my web browser?
can you post a screenshot of how it looks?
I'm blind.
Unless it just took a while to appear? I could swear it wasn't there before.
Eh. Whatever. It worked. Thanks!
Trying to go live to Trovo but when I click "start streaming" it will only allow me to go live to Facebook? I went into settings and changed service to Trovo and input my stream key
@swift cosmos If you haven't already read it.
I also tried setting the service to custom and then putting the server in manually with the stream key. I’m not sure if there’s something specific I need to do from my stream elements dashboard before trying to go live from OBS.live or what?
Where do I paste the link for my overlay
@surreal kettle ⤵️
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

Obs.live is a plugin for OBS Studio for the best OBS support, please join their Official Discord @ https://discord.gg/obsproject
Wow...not much of a help desk if its just gonna get passed off to someone else
OBS itself is a different program, so the official discord for it is the best source of help
We can try and assist as well, but we don't have all the answers
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
These steps may be of help
Game audio...not alerts
The audio controls work for more than alerts, so the audio for the game may need to be adjusted/monitored as the alerts are
Hello, i really could need a helping hand on getting my stream up, using a laptop, Lenovo legion , and my laptop should be more than good to handle it, i just keep getting Frame loss and i dont understand much on how the settings are done , got some friends that have tried to Set up a stream on my pc , but they could not find out what it was.. Someone here that maybe could really help me get started on streaming? ..
@subtle sparrow ⤵️
Dropped Frames means that you have a bad connection between your device and the streaming platform and most likely something related to your ISP not handling the connection properly.
Speed tests usually cannot help solve this problem and its best to use this guide: https://obsproject.com/wiki/Dropped-Frames-and-General-Connection-Issues
If you stream to twitch, use the !twitchtest command and do a connection test to your regional servers.
hey please help me i am not able to add overlay in my obs.live please help me

im having a issue with a chatbox that i setup and its only showing up in obs and not when im streaming or gaming which im trying to set it up to where i can read chat while im in game or not on the twitch page
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.

Beyond that no.
im running into this duplicate media share audio bug, i have shutdown source when not visible, enabled for every single browser source in my obs, dont even have a browser open, yet are still getting duplicate audio, but only in a couple of scenes for some reason
hey yall i have a question to do with media share
is there a way to let my mods overview a video in queue to make sure it hasn't got anything copyright/inappropriate?
Hello everyone, quick question if possible. Is there a way to choose which platform to stream to selectively with streamelements (profile for youtube/twitch quick switch for example)? Thanks!
@timid olive no.
Got it, thank you. 
Hey guys is there any way we can login into the YouTube chat inside obs live?
no.
🥲 okay
Hi, if you switch to another pc do lose all your stuff aha?
all of your overlays should be saved on our cloud system so there's no need you'll lose everything
does anyone know of a way/plugin that lets you hide specific scenes or alerts from recordings, but still plays them through stream?
how streamlabs does?
Download
Plugin for OBS Studio to add a filter that allows you to record a source.
Add "Source Record" filter to your source.
Installation
Copy and merge the folders that are in the download zip to the OBS folder for example:
C:\Program...
Thank you!
anyone know if there is a code/argument to show the total bits donated at the end of the messege?
Not possible
oh 
I've undergone a name change on Twitch but it has affected my chat bot, how do I get it back up and running?
@gusty path ⤵️
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).
HELLO
my obs keeps uploading from 3000kb to 300kb then stays low after 1 hour to 20mins it go's to 0kb and dies after this im unable to end the streaming in obs as it does nothing when i click on it this issue has been happing for last few days i have two internet sources and its doing it on both
Bitrate always indicates a network issue, not much we can do here. Change the ingest server, check that your network is stable and if not - talk to your ISP
@nova scaffold thank you its happening on multiple ISP so i don't think its this issue i have the Bitrate only running at 3000kb with a ISP Bitrate of 8kb on one connection and 12kb on the other i only use one with obs i have used auto wizard to fix setting and still having this issue
never had this issue in the 6 months streaming in my new place
Remove the auto wizard settings, set up the stream yourself, including the CBR mode (constant bitrate) and other settings.
That should be the first step if you see weird things happening
And i would still check connections, upload has to be stable
@nova scaffold Ok i will have this ago thank you
hello all.. i have a question and wondered if you could help.. i have obs on my pc.. if i decide to download obs on the laptop for use in other places.. would the overlays and scenes and things like that follow with it?
no, you will need to copy all files/assets over to the new device.
a quick way to replicate it is to download the obs profile from your pc and load it on your laptop
ok thank you for your help
twitch fail to log in via OBS

ok
hey im streaming but when i start the game my game is only half the picture how do i fix this?
Hey Please can i have some help with the SE Pay
How do I set the custom bot name in ground control?
Any particular reason you don't wanna use OBS.Live?
?
Yes, I'm using streamlabs for everything else and already have all my overlays and stuff set up there. don't wanna switch all that over.
my twitch name is xohatsumi
You don't have to ask it twice in less than a minute.
hey guys
for a sec i thought you were talking to me 
Nope.
whenever i type !watchtime in my stream it shows 0 seconds
anyone know how to fix that?
@tawdry sky ⤵️
The !watchtime command is directly tied to the Loyalty system. The Loyalty system must be enabled for viewers' watchtime to count up.
To enable Loyalty, please go to the Loyalty section of your account: https://streamelements.com/dashboard/loyalty
Watchtime counts up every 10 minutes alongside Loyalty points, and only while the stream is live. Reruns will not be counted.
Please note that watchtime is not tracked by Twitch and there is no way to retroactively apply past watchtime to viewers.
Hey. I have many different alert variations for gifts and resubs. It works perfectly when emulating an event in the overlay editor but when activating a gift alert on the actual obs live, from the activity feed, it triggers both the sub and gift animations at the same time. (for example when the gift sub is given to someone who has already been subscribed before) What could be the problem?
hello, i have a macbook pro m1 with 16 gb ram, and i have a upload speed of 40 mbps, what should i put for the settings in terms of bitrate, etc
6000 is the max for twitch
idk what platform you're streaming to but 6000 is enough for HD60
im on youtube
4.5k-9k (higher is better quality) is where you want to be for 1920x1080 at 60fps
hello, i have a problem when im live the obs gets crashed it says windows doesnt respond and i have to close obs and start stream again, what could be the problem?
i'm not 100% sure this will solve your problem, but there is the checkbox in the variation settings that picks an alert randomly if it meets 2 or more requirements. you could try toggling that off 🤷♂️
hey i have a problem it wont let me ad alerts
Are you getting some kind of error?
no so im swapping from streamlabs and im rlly confused bc idk how to add alerts or anything sorry

Quick question regarding Kappagen. I'm working on setting up a bunch of custom emotes at the moment. Are the text triggers case sensitive at all? If so, is there any potential downside to using Regex to parse?
lol just tested case sensitivity on my emotes and they ARE INDEED case sensitive. TIL
at least on twitch, i have no idea about any other platform emotes 🤷♂️
Thank you! I appreciate it. Would've just tested, myself, but Youtube livestreams can't be talked in unless you're actively live at that moment lol
Hopefully there's no downside to the Regex parser. For now, I'll probably turn it on for all of them just to make sure people don't have to worry about lowercase vs capital letters
I'm doing that gesture where i wave my hand over my head like that's too high level for me
lol
The parser is just a toggle; It says:
"This uses javascript regex parsing, case-insensitive."
So, hopefully, that means that it won't be case sensitive anymore haha
may the odds be ever in your favor!
Another question I'm hoping someone more skilled than I am could answer: How would I display something as the most recent of any event from two different categories?
Example/planned usage: I want to show the latest financial support, whether that is with Youtube's superchats system or through streamelement's tipping page. I don't want to show the latest of both at the same time, but just the most recent between them.
Hey all! I have a bit of a technical question. Is there a way to get 720p60 and keep it to 1.5Mb upload?
I'm using macOS right now, and I get decent 720p30 at 1.5Mb bitrate, but wondering what's possible to try and get 60fps
is there any way to get spotify playlists on media share?
Nope.
On a Mac, best to set it to 540p60 at 1.5Mbps upload
I can say that from experience
@kindred fox Thank you!!
From a viewers experience, would 720p30 or 540p60 be better?
540p60 for sure at that upload.
I tested it on “business internet” here once and tbh it was the worst experience ever but 540p60 at 1500 works
It will deliver a good stream
Hi, I'm relatively new to streaming and I was trying to set up soundalerts using stream elements on my system. I'm able to emulate the animation but not the sound. I have already turned on monitoring from advanced audio settings and ensured that the streamelements alert volume is at 100%, but still no luck, any help would be appreciated
Thanks! I'll give it a try!
I currently have 20mbps upload BUT I'm moving to place that will only have 3 :l
If you have 20Mbps you should be able to do 720p60 @ 3500
@kindred fox aye, I should for now, but trying to get myself set up for my future internet constraints lol
Going to definitely bump it up for now
I recently deleted my account and went back to try and login through youtube again and it just went back to the login page. Am I going to be able to log back in again and start streaming or?
Try going here: https://myaccount.google.com/permissions, remove StreamElements if it's there, and then try logging in again
checking it out right now I just removed permissions and about to attempt logging in
It worked
thank you guys so much
I can't put the streamelements chat in obs, because the chat is not loading and has an error.
@rugged quail ⤵️
StreamElements menu, on top of OBS > Logout > Login
Yo guys I'm getting pretty fed up with this someone with extensive knowledge of this nonsense mind hitting me with a DM?
What exactly is this about?
Had 0 lag in games when I started using streamelements.
Now it's lagging everything out, I didn't change anything or do anything weird.
It just keeps on doing some weird shit tbh.
I got a 2080, 10th gen in. 16gb ram.
Everything will be fine then randomly
Nothing will run above 20fps
So i was messing around and i managed to delete the chat widget, can someone help me get it back?
I think that's just in your tools or one of those tabs up top lol
K swapped from streamlabs to SE cause I had a performance boost but now it's just idk
GPU maxing out and stuff
@shy mountain
Streamelements on top -> OBS.Live Docks -> Chat
OBS.Live is a addon/plugin for OBS Studio, we do not touch the general performance of OBS Studio or its encoder.
That being said I would like to see a log file
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.
Okay thanks.
Where do I get the log?
I've been streaming for about 10 months.
Going off of guides online seem to get me going in circles.
Thank you so much!
@tough light ⤵️
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.
Pmg I'm dumb it was right in thr link 😂 
Aight when it does it again I'll send in the log
Also I should clarify that, it'll be running normal, when it gets weird.
I'll restart my PC and all that and the in game lag persists.
So far I haven't found the actual solution online thats why I'm coming here lol
Not sure where to ask, but how do I merge streamelements accounts?
@worthy sluice ⤵️
Account Merging - Please note:
- Merging accounts only allow faster ways to switch between accounts
- Merging accounts does not allow data sharing between accounts - different streaming platforms, different type of events
- Merging accounts allows duplicating/sharing overlays between the accounts
If you understand the limitations of merging and want to proceed, please find the JWT tokens (!jwt) from both accounts you want to merge and fill out the form here: https://streamelements.com/contact with each token correctly labelled
my obs taking high cpu usage please ask me how to fix it
Hi. My overlay is not in full screen.
@kind pollen ⤵️
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 set correctly as described above
thanks a lot.
again... you need to post the question
how?
what are you having an issue with? what have you tried to solve it already?
yes i have tried
so what happened is
when i try to connect my camera to my stream it dosent work
What type of camera do you have? What type of element did you create to get it to work? Does it work in other applications outside of OBS.live?
yes it works in streamlabs
but it dosent in obs
it used to work but now it dosent
did you change any settings? What brand and model is it? Is it a webcam, a DSLR?
there’s a ton of variables for why a camera or any input will stop working
Have you tried deleting and recreating the element within the scene? Reinstalling the driver for the device?
after streaming for some time my bitrate drops to zero then im unable to stop streaming and not able to end recording i spent ages fixing setting yesterday my internet is ok obs its self seems to be crashing
this is the first time in 4 years i have every had this issue
and its been happening for last 4 days

@queen cargo ⤵️
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
