Hello I am trying to play Spotify through the OBS mixer however I can’t seem to figure out how to get the audio from the app into the OBS software. I’m running everything on a MacBook
Hello! I recently imported my alertbox from streamlabs and everything was running fine, then out of the blue my alerts stopped showing up with the text overlayed on the image and instead show up with the text above the image. I have the "text over image" option selected in the overlay settings. What else might I be missing?
why I cant find "Fadeout after action" slider - timer for event list?
Hello, I have just started using stream elements and it's not detecting my current subscribers and gifters, is there any way I can sync those informations?
Some of my fans have gifted over 10 subs and I would like to show their name in the widgets please... I need help
that worked thank you very muxh
anyone know how to fix, the chat on studio... it is showing an old stream chat and will not update to a new stream for nothing..
hi I was wondering if there was a way to make a podcast on streamlabs obs using discord
ok guys i stream to Facebook but my chat wont reset its the same chat from 3 nights ago. I have removed obs and re insalled it reset up everything and got to go live and the chat is still there any help would be great
Yeah i just did the same thing and it has not fixed the issue for me either.
My activity feed stopped working and non of the notifications are working, I refreshed them but they stopped working completely.
Don't know where to post this since this is OBS Studio but my dropdown menu in the left upper corner is gone. Can't enter the settings anymore from my activity feed
it used to be there before
Streamelements menu up top.
@toxic fern were exactly? don't see the 3 bars
Is this supposed to be the one from the streamelements menu or a custom dock?
@toxic fern
Is there an overall issue? My chat source no longer works, kappa layer is frozen, and for yesterday and today, store redeems come through as me despite it being chat.
I'm having a problem with my obs when starting a simultaneous live. I select the platform I want to use, which is Restream, but when I start it, it removes the selected option and leaves only the youtube transmission key.
you might see a different activity feed if you're not using the built-in dock included in obs.live
I used to go to the menu from a custom browser dock from the regular OBS Studio before.
I have the exact same problem and unfortunately the solution you provided, @dapper igloo, doesn't work for me either. Could you please look into this?
(I already tried logging out and in again, de- and then reinstalling OBS, and the instructions you gave @tulip wolf. Nothing fixes the custom bot name being grayed out and the bot not connecting after authorization.)
Was streaming to YouTube live on one profile then made a new one for Twitch and clicking "Start Streaming" is opening the YouTube live interface. 🤔
I'm not sure if it's a bug with the profiles and the new one not taking precedence or what but this is definitely a first for this problem for me. XD
Oh, swapped off of YouTube on the first profile and it's still doing it.
On both profiles.
And with no YouTube setup it still does it and just errors out. 🤣
Keeps double checking to make sure Twitch is what's selected to make sure I'm not dumb
And now accounts just won't stay connected and settings defaults to "custom" when I go in and out of a profile. 😐
It looks like loads of people are having this exact same problem there’s got to be some sort of over arching issue with OBS surely
Hello! Anyone else not seeing their recent followers on the activity feed? I can see everything else sub/raid/tip But there is no notification for new followers 😦
I realize my issues isn't probably live specific, was just the first place I had popped into for it.
Whenever I redeem a stream perk that shows an alert, it plays all visible store remption layers at once. Can you only have one layer that sources all alerts with images?
how do I put the overlay i made on my stream it wont work please help @SE.staff
hey guys, for some reason some of my overlays no longer work. specifically my shoutout overlay. when i test it in stream elements it works fine, but when i actually input a chat command nothing happens. this is a relatively new issue ive been experiencing, if anyone has any help they can lend id appreciate it
yeah non of my over lays are working smh
i think this is an obs live specific issue. might switch to regular obs just to test
well how do i do that
i just installed regular version of obs and it still doesnt work
not sure what to do lol
I'm needing some help!
I've had commands running through OBS for awhile and now they've suddenly stopped working. Any know why or how I can fix it?
Okay, I just fixed it @old verge
All i did was log out and log back in, then i tested my commands in Chat and it worked fine
what did u log out of
in OBS i clicked on the Stream Elements tab on the tool bar and clicked log out.
ok ill try that
Then logged back in with my Twitch user info
still not working, i appreciate the help tho man
Sorry... it worked for me..
do you by chance use a custom bot name?
Hello, I'm trying to activate my activity tab in obs.live for streaming on YouTube and I'm only getting an option for twitch and it won't let me scroll down or anything like that.
StreamElements menu, on top of OBS > Logout > Login
Hi I have a question is there a way to change my chat bot name I followed all the steps and the only thing it did was to change it to my username
Hello, I have added music to my stream elements online, when I go to the stream elements OBS and try to play the music during stream, it will play, but with no sound even when I turn up the volume. How do I combat this??

Reinstalling OBS should fix this.
@dapper igloo Thanks for help! 🙂
ok
Alerts & Chat window Widgets that attach to OBS on each side of OBS stream window are gone. Logging out & ln does nothing. Help.
StreamElements -> OBS.Live Docks is missing? If so, uninstall and reinstall OBS.Live.
Hi, Event List. In streamelements - how I can make Event list disappear after 1 minute? now it always shows. there is no option for fadeout anymore...
for trovo.live
We keep authorizing our custom bot account, but it won't connect.
@rancid yoke ⤵️
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
We click "Connect Custom Bot Account", we log in to the alternate Twitch account & authorize access... After which the window closes and nothing happens... The bot is not connected and "Send Test Message" is still greyed-out. I hope that helps clarify the issue better. 😮💨
@rancid yoke ⤵️
- Right-click your OBS desktop shortcut (not the OBS.Live shortcut) and navigate to 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)
https://streamelements.is-serious.business/3eCDjo7.jpg - Open OBS (or restart if it was open)
- Open your web browser and type in:
localhost:40404(try127.0.0.1:40404if you see issues - https://streamelements.is-serious.business/3EGPQFJ.jpg) - Click on StreamElements - Activity feed - https://streamelements.is-serious.business/2kJYt2b.jpg
- Type the following into the console and hit enter:
store.customBot.removeCustomBotIntegration() - Try setting the custom bot name, make sure you follow https://strms.net/custombotname
- Remove the flag added in step 2 from your shortcut properties
Hi! I have been using streamelements for a while and with an overlay that I am using I can see that it uses 35% cpu ... Not having a separate computer for streaming, is there a way to lower the use of the cpu? Also is it better to have the overlay as a source of obs or as a link for stream elements? Many thanks in advance!
Thanks, I think it works now. 
Ola! Estou com problemas, tento me conectar pelo facebook, ele pede a confirmação, eu faço a confirmação porém ele ao invés de me dar a opção de escolher a página que quero fazer a transmissão ele volta para a página inicial (https://streamelements.com/?error=ERR_RETRY_WITH_PAGESELECTOR#_=_). Isto ocorre tanto no programa quando no próprio site oficial. O que eu faço?
Obs - Eu já até formatei o PC e não resolveu
Hi! I'm having problems, I try to connect via facebook, it asks for confirmation, I do the confirmation when I reject it, give me the option to choose the page I want to transmit, it goes back to the home page (https://streamelements.com/?error=ERR_RETRY_WITH_PAGESELECTOR#_=_). This occurs both in the program and on the official website itself. What do I do?
Note - I've even formatted the PC and I can't solve it
Any helpers?
Hey @remote oyster, when directed to the confirmation page, please select "Edit Settings" and not "Continue as...". Once there, make sure only your gaming page has been selected from the list.
yes i am, it plays, but with no sound. The sound is turned up, but it is muted for some reason
Hi. I`m using obs live plugin,whenever i go live the chat is not working at all. I have tried unlinking the accounts with no succes!
Hey, I posted a question a few days ago and didn't get a response, is this the best place to get help or is there another way?
My main issue atm is - people are able to activate TTS with any amount of bits but the min should be 100 because that's what it's set to in my streamelements alerts.
I do not, I use pixel chat
If you aren’t using the streamelements chatbot then commands related to streamelements overlay widgets will not work.
Oh thats what you meant
Yes I use that. My problem is external overlays like shoutout widgets and things like that are not working. When I click to test them on stream elements it works fine, but when I actually input a chat command it does nothing. I’ve used it for around 8 months now so I’m not sure why it has suddenly stopped working
I would suggest parting the bot from your channel and re-joining it. Are you using vanilla obs studio or obs.live plug-in?
Obs.live, last night I disconnected and reconnected all of my accounts. Even changed my stream key just for shits and giggles and still nothing. Just gonna wait on an update and hope for the best at this point
@old verge and this is with LazFTP account?
Hi. How can I get back the Youtube chat Window? I closed it by accident
Hi, Could you please help me? I dont have choice payment method in streamelements website so what can I do ?
@runic mist Top menu -> StreamElements -> OBS.Live Docks -> Chat
@rugged inlet Could you give us more details?
hello, is there a way to manually installing the OBS live plugging on Linux by copying files into the OBS plugins folder or something like that?
Make sure after you change the target in properties you use that exact same shortcut to get back in to obs if you use a different shortcut anywhere else it wont work... let me know if you need any further help man I just got it sorted @tulip wolf same to you the bot doesn't explain the fix very well imo
@untold abyss You'd have to compile the source yourself unfortunately.
Thanks for taking the time reply, the moment I saw "sudo rm -rf is typing" I knew I was gonna get my answer. Is it something that's been done though? that is something way way out of my bellow basic Linux knowledge, but might be a fun challenge for a pro
It has not been done as it's only designed for Mac and windows atm. No plans for Linux to my understanding.
thanks!
Hey so i was on obs live and on my webcam i accidentally hit "resize output(source size)" and it ended up like zooming my preview screen in really small and i can not undo it.
How does the streamdeck-plugin for OBS.Live interact with OBS? How are the calls are made from the streamdeck for something like Pause, Resume and Skip Alerts? Why does OBS have to be running the background for the plugin to work? Can we please get a version of the streameck plugin that does work with only the streamdeck and without OBS? tia
How can i get in contact with the author of the OBS.live streamdeck plugin?
like this?
OBS has to be running because the plug-in is how OBS interacts directly with StreamElements
Yes exactly, but i need to control OBS that is on another PC in the network( streaming PC), from the gaming PC
USB extension cable
No, that isn't possible 😉 i need the streamdeck at the gaming PC for other stuff.
Order a mini 
im broke as hell atm. and i know that there is a way to get this working with software
Is my assumption right that the OBS.Live streamdeck plugin does communicate via websocket with OBS? Or does the streamdeck communicate with OBS via textfiles?
Are the API calls to the Streamelements-service made from the streamdeck plugin or from OBS when i hit the button on the streamdeck?
Hi, one of the streamers I mod for is having trouble with the custom bot name feature, whenever it is active none of the commands or modules etc. work in their twitch chat once OBS Live is running. Are there any known issues with the custom bot name feature currently that may be linked to or causing this?
hi my chat for facebook gaming is not updating in obs but it does update for twitch and youtube so its obs or facebook gaming issue
got it fixed now, after a lot of faffing around
never mind its working again lol been testing it for two days finally its working the right way
Where or How do i uninstall OBS.Live?
Does the custom bot deactivate when closing OBS?... We're trying to use the bot while streaming with Streamlabs.
EDIT: Btw, we use StreamElements for bot commands.
Yes
You should also not use slobs because it’s terrible
We like the SLOBS interface better.
It’s literally a reskinned obs studio
Also, we tried to switch everything over once, but it didn't work.
EDIT: The import from SLOBS to OBS didn't work.
stream elements wont let me login to facebook
Long story short, I'm trying to find out where my shoutout !so command is triggering a pullup of the audio of a random clip, and eliminate it. So that the !so command responds and does what it does in CHAT ONLY. It's triggered no matter which scene I'm in, even with scenes that only have my webcam in the sources. Any clue as to where I'd go to eliminate the triggering of the audio? It plays over my desktop audio regardless of what scene i'm in. Help?
I cant seem to continue to set up my stream elements system on my stream. It says i have connected bot alerts and tipping but it wont continue. Please help me get started!! hah
@fierce topaz
where does it get stuck?
Morning,
Over the last couple of streams I've started getting duplicate bot messages appearing. So, for example, if someone types "!followage", the chat bot gives the same response twice. Any thoughts? 😦
@reef galleon ⤵️
Go to the Dashboard > Right side > Part channel > Join channel (https://streamelements.com/dashboard) https://i.imgur.com/uYVb8OK.png
Well, that didn't help...I'm now getting 2 messages from the bot, plus one which is coming from my user now 🤦
are you using any other bot?
Not that I'm aware of @vast wren 😦
can you share a screenshot?
Pinged the command !loot in the chat. I used to get two bot responses. I'm now getting two bots and one from my user too
So, I've got it down to just the 2 bots again...not sure what I changed 😦
@reef galleon ⤵️
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
I know it says "commands stopped working" but still, try that. 🙂
Seems to be that my Activity Feed stopped working via OBS.Live so I added a browser source dock for that feed. This seems to have caused the duplication issue. I removed the browser source dock and re-opened the OBS.Live view...problem solved.
Thanks for the help guys 😉
How can i get in contact with the author of the OBS.live streamdeck plugin?
Please, where do i uninstall OBS.Live?
Windows 10 > Systemsettings > Apps
Uninstalled OBS.Live. Restarted PC. Reinstalled OBS.Live. OBS.Live Dock is still missing & FB Login goes blank. Can continue without loggin in, but no Alerts or Chat Sidebar.
Sorry i can't help with FB related stuff.
but it's the FB login from the OBS.Live page, that creates the pop-up to login to FB to connect the chat & alerts.
Yes, but as i don't use facebook services i have no experience with it 😉 but im sure someone else can
but the question still remains, that the Live Dock is still missing after Reinstall
Iirc i had that same problem once before. I think what fixed it for me, was logout of twitch and streamelements a few times, stopped restartet OBS, relogin again and the live dock was back
Logging out & Logging in didn't work. I tried logging into Stream Elements site via Chrome & Edge apart from OBS.Live... login doesn't go anywhere after selecting the FB button.
So you mean that fb login also does not work in a browser outside of OBS?
The streamdeck integration is developed by our development team. There is no one specific author.
yes & no, but i can log into FB directly with no probs, just not thru OBS.Live or Stream Elements Website
How do i, as a user who has a very technical question that is out of the scope of a chat moderator, can get in contact with those devs? Is the streamdeck OBS live plugin open source? Do i have the chance to get into the code to get the functionality into it that i need? 🤔
You can email support and we will ask the devs to look into it. The plugin is not open source.
anyone know why my overlay is jittery I have two face cams and a overlay all animated
I was corrected, the plugin is open source.
You can download the code on the website:
https://www.obs.live/
** For OBS.Live, at least.
is there anyway to get chrome as a obs browser plugin
or somthing that will play my overlay smoother
Ohh ok. This kind of barrier between the devs/source code and us the users is for someone like me a bit frustrating, as it feels like we as users are dependant on the decisions of the mods, the community managers and executives at streamelements. When something is open source, i can mostly get in contact with the person who is coding the stuff, and get some ideas back and forth. And even if the dev of a project isnt willing to implement my suggested feature, i still have the ability to implement it myself. So i want to please you(whoever is responsible for those kind of decisions), to consider open source your tools like the streamdeck plugin etc. And maybe give us the ability to get in contact with devs or the code. I feel like i have some needs that aren't fulfilled by the current state of what streamelements is offering, but i am willing to put in the time and get something done myself. But if i don't get access to APIs, don't get have any ways to get in contact with devs for asking questions, and cant get the source code or documentation on tools, i feel pretty much lost. I hope that this message reaches someone who cares about it at SE. Thanks in advance
That's good, and if i understand things correctly the plugin for obs has to be open source because of the licensing of OBS project. It would be nice if SE could also open source their Streamdeck plugin, so i can get the plugin to connect to other OBS-instances in the network, and not only the local OBS installation. Or maybe even better, if the plugin would connect to Streamelements directly and send the request to the service without the need for OBS. Cheers
I appreciate the feedback and the good intent. We will sure to pass the feedback to the people in charge of OBS.Live and its integrations.
Thank you very much 🙏
any one know why my overlay is laggy
whats the limit of animated videos you can have in a overlay I have my Overlay animated and my two face cams in one scene
maybe you have a render overload because your system cant handle it.
@tulip birch Your issue is just that the overlays are choppy, right?
yes

Sounds like a login bridge between streamelements and Facebook is broken, nothing you can fix yourself. has to be fixed by the people at SE. maybe someone from staff knows more about this or can help you
sorry. i thought you were SE staff
show me a screenshot please
no problem 😉 nope im just a regular dude like you
Sure, a video will work
@quick patio where do i go now, or do i just wait for someone to respond here?
You can use the contact form for opening a support ticket: https://streamelements.com/contact
Or you wait and hope that someone from staff picks up your problem up in here.

Hello , can someone help me set up tts ? For some reason I tick it but live it doesn't work
I cann't log in my facebook account?? what can I do??
Hi, is it possible to route song requests in a way that it won't be included in the twitch vod's ? I'm using GoXLR Mini and currently have my browser etc. routed to Music which is taken out in the settings from the vod's. Is this possible for Song Requests?
Tried to open the songrequest window from the browser but it still plays on obs and the browser
Not directly. You would need to run this in a separate browser that is routed to a different audio output and then integrate it to your GoXLR and route it properly.
This is a lot of work and requires extra hardware at least.
So if my chrome is currently routed on my goxlr as music and youtube etc. does get cut out from vods, this wont work for the song requests even if i use chrome window to play the music?
This will work if you route the loaded overlay playing the songrequest to that input on the GoXLR
I mean, I tried this already but for some reason the song plays on both, chrome and obs
as i do not own this device, i'm not 100% sure how to route it
routing is done actually already 🙂
Ah, you need to remove the browser source in OBS of course
it will play in any loaded overlay
hmm, let's see..
So the media request widget should not be loaded in OBS if you play it in the browser.
yeah
Aaah okay for some reason even tough I didn't have the dock on OBS it was active, had to add it and remove it
ok now it works, thanks 🙂
👍
Hi Guys
Having a small issue where the "Custom bot name" option has vanished
I've used it fine for weeks
I've re-authorized it several times but the name doesn't appear in the list

Hi guys I'm having a problem right now w/ my obs.live. First, I can't login to facebook (white screen just showing up after logging in) and last is whenever I'm updating my obs to the latest version, the browser source and streamelements plugin disappears and I tried to update it again, have the streamelements plugin to be downloaded and installed but it's not doing anything. The only fix that I can do is use the old version of streamelements that i have here but still can't login to facebook. Hope you guys can help me. Thanks.
I can't login also through the website (connecting through facebook). It loops me back to the streamelents' login page, not on my dashboard.
Hi guys, i have obslive installed on my obs, i was wondering how i can pause my recording, as the pause button is now gone
Hey everyone, I have a very small single issue with StreamElements OBS.Live and the Stream Deck. Everything works perfectly EXCEPT the Toggle Go Live button, it has a red X over the icon and says something like "OBS.Live Action is offline. Please Wait for it to become available"
If someone could please assist me with maybe a FAQ or a simple fix I havent thought of, I'd greatly appreciate it
hi so i accidentally deleted my follower notification tab on my control panel and i cant seam to figure out how to get it back
Hi. We would recommend a clear reinstall - uninstall OBS.Live and then uninstall OBS Studio.
Then you can install the latest OBS Studio from the OBS project site and we would recommend you using the stable build of OBS.Live that you can get here:
https://cdn.streamelements.com/obs/dist/obs-streamelements-installer-wrapper/windows/latest/obs-streamelements-setup-stable.exe
i want to change my bots name but i can find the obs live settings or the proper bot settings anywhere on the website
@final ferry ⤵️
Currently renaming the bot fully works with OBS.Live. You can follow this video guide to set it up: https://discordapp.com/channels/141203863863558144/494513233416421386/561516184718278676
Hello!
Please help, I’m trying to download the obs.live plug-in. Is that necessary to use stream elements designs in OBS studio? Any way I get an error when trying to run the set up:
no its not necessary to use overlays
hi everyoneeee, hoping someone could be of assistance, I just eneded stream out of frustration for the first time....
I've been having an issue where league does not want to capture via window or game capture. I have reinstalled league a few times and am confident the issue is in obs. Can anyone advise what may be happening or anything to help at all? Thanks :C
does it work if you capture the entire desktop?
yes, if I use desktop capture it captures everything as expected, nothing unusual using it
are you having issues with the league client or ingame?
ingame, client works perfectly fine
have you tried running obs as administrator?
(well, its league client, but you know what i mean xD)
I do run it as admin
it will load up for load screen (when a league game is loading) then I can see from the preview that it "freezes" and just shows a solid image of the load screen with characters selected etc, all my overlays and what have you over top are perfectly fine
its just league, full freezes after a solid second of the ingame application "booting up" if you get what i mean
@manic cape ⤵️
Please post a link to your current log file.
In OBS select Help > Log Files > Upload Current Log File. Copy the URL and paste it here.
but on my end of things, playing the game, I dont notice a thing, so I only notice when chat kicks off yaknow
I don't see any particular issues with your logs
I know, thats why its so frustrating
you'll have to reach out to regular obs support, as this seem to be something related to core obs
Obs.live is a plugin for OBS Studio for the best OBS support, please join their Official Discord @ https://discord.gg/obsproject
every other game works perfectly as expected, just league ingame doesnt wanna work as of about a month ago
I'll give them a shout, thank you for your time and help 
you can also try playing with different ingame settings
like fullscreen/windowed/etc
I've played around with it a bunch, they just dont wanna work together
desktop capture is my only soloution but its been a while, and i almost got doxxed when an important email from work flagged up in the bottom right popup, so, i dont wanna do desktop capture anymore as im sure you could imagine
anyway, your help is apprieciated, i'm starting to think the issue might be league afterall.. i've had an unrelated issue with frames not working as intended so i'm not surprised to say the least
sorry for not being able to help you fix that 
is awryt guvnah o7
you've been fab, really dont worry about it, probably just riot up to their usual lets fix one and break 3 others
Hi, everyone! I'm having troubles with my alerts on OBS, so I hope anyone can help me.
Here's the thing: I set my followers and subscribers alerts on a StreamElements overlay. When I emulate the alerts on streamelements.com it works perfect, and I can hear the alert. But when I try it on OBS, alerts show up, but don't sound. I already have the monitoring activated on advance audio settings on OBS, so that doesn't seem to be the problem. I've tried anything, but it just doesn't work, could anyone please help me? Thank you in advance!
When i was using a one pc setup i used a hotkey to capture the game window each time before a stream, simply focus your intended window and hit the hotkey
Have you tried moving the alert overlay to the very top of the list so it is visible? It should be first
As for the sound, id try adding your available audio devices and see if maybe the alert is playing through something obs isnt looking at
? -unsure how this relates to my initial query 😅
Thanks my obs is now updated however It is still not letting me login to facebook. Getting a white screen after I login and authorized.

Thank you, and sorry for not answering before. I do have the alert overlay on top of everything. As I said, I can see the alerts, but I can't hear them. I use a Shure MVi audio interface to connect mi mic and trough that device I connect my headphones to hear my desktop audio. It is the device set up on OBS
is it possible to get a custom bot name for trovo yet?
#beta_trovo and no
I'm having an issue with streams playing in the app
Ope, nevermind somehow it fixed itself

Hello, I have OBS live and i used it to stream to youtube last night as a test to see how i liked it. Long story short I want to go back to Twitch. However, after putting in my twitch stream key and disconnecting the youtube account from OBS. It still tells me "Go Live to YouTube" when i click start streaming. So now i dont know what to do

issues with editing overlay in OBS.live and it reverting dimensions
helo everyone, I am having an issue where some games i try to stream go black in my game capture like there is a greenscreen on them, i have no filters on them so im a little confused on what to do
looks fine on title screen and menus
but does not in game
check your sources on obs and/or the overlay editor
i made one with just the game capture and it's still doing it lol
and in the overlay?
Im having issues with my alerts...but only in my gameplay scene? They play in all my other scenes ( BRB, Just Chatting etc) but for some reason my gameplay scene does not have alerts coming up when i emulate them.
I have everything in the same order as far as sources throughout the scenes so Im a bit confused as to why its only this scene
oddly enough, in the streamlabs editor the alerts appear perfectly. but in the actual app and live it does not
can you hear the alert?
yes i can

still same
Hi. Can you check the positioning and the order of the alertbox? It can be moved off the scene or it can be covered by other sources that are on top of it.
ive moved it all around the scene and it doesnt appear. my others scenes it appears no matter where i place the alert box
the order as well i have my overlay and alerts at the top of the order
1.alerts 2. overlay
Can you go to the browser source settings and refresh the cache of the current overlay?
nothing changed 
So you still can hear the browser source playing alerts, but they are not visible on that one scene?
Can i ask you to remove the source and add the browser source again with that overlay?
yeah sound and alert on every scene except gameplay
so remove the alert source and the overlay source or just the alert
hey stupid question but are alerts married to their corresponding overlay?
Just remove the browser source and add it again, i would like to diagnose where the issue is
Alerts are a browser source. If the scene has no browser source, you will not see them
but they can play sound in the background from other scenes
ok lemme check
ok so only audio source active is on that scene i removed the source for the alerts and added it again but same outcome
still hear the alert tho
im using the same overlay for everything but my gameplay screen. That one i use a dif overlay. there wouldnt be any conflict between certain alerts and overlays right?
There should not be a conflict, but we recommend using the setting "shutdown source when not visible" (browser source settings, where you put the link for the overlay in) to avoid audio issues from multiple alerts on different scenes etc.
ok i think i got it. I tried a different alert and it appeared only half on the screen and alittle width and height adjustment did the trick. i knew it was something silly
Thanks for all your help everyone!

Can someone help me?
@here
I log in my facebook account and this happens still white for about 15mins
Hey, I downloaded the OBS plugin and can't finish the setup
HELLO WHEN I MAKE AN OVERLAY IN STREAMELEMENTS I COPY THE LINK AND PASTE IT IN OBS AND I DO NOT SEE THE OVERLAY
@lost zinc ⤵️
To add your overlays to OBS, add a new browser source in your scene. Paste your overlay URL in the browser source properties, set the dimensions to 1920x1080 (unless you changed them on the website) and check Shutdown source when not visible. https://youtu.be/KDvLynUqXI4
good afternoon I am having issues in OBS where When I try to edit an overlay it moves ALL components out of place, causing me to fix every one source by source before saving
hi im having issues with streamelements obs.live doing double audio whenever i show music to stream via Media request
is there a way to fix that?
My configuration hasn't changed at all in 3.5 months and since last Friday I'm dropping frames all over the place. I tried to downscale things and I still drop frames. Is there something wrong with OBS? I stream to Twitch.
Dropped frames are an indication for network issues mostly. If you see "encoding overloaded" - this would indicate a hardware issue. Change the ingest server and test the stream - this usually helps.
Yeah I'm not getting encoding or rendering lag it's entirely network but I'm on a 450kbps cable connection and there are no issues.
I've tried multiple manual Twitch servers also.
Sorry 450MB
Mbps not kbps
I've been running 1080/60 flawlessly since mid-July and then last Friday I started dropping 30-40% of my frames with no config changes. I'm streaming an XBox Series X over an Elgato HD60S+ and OBS is running on a Macbook Pro with the Radeon 5500M video card.. I moved from software to hardware encoding which reduce the CPU load, but it still drops frames.
Is anyone aware of how to revert from the OBS Live Beta?
considering internet is very unstable and unpredictable, you dont need to change anything for issues to occur
and as cryonic said above, dropped frames is network, so doing things for your CPU wont do anything to stop it
@buoyant jay ⤵️
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.
im starting to think no one has the answer to the issue im having, specially checking the history see if anyone got a answer in the discord history. So far no one has there question answered
I've run speedtests and my jitter and packets are great and I'm running great speeds.
right, but this isnt a speed test (as it says in the description)
please read what the bot says
I did. Can't use Twitchtest. It's for Windows only.
There are a variety of tools to test your network performance. Not too familiar with OSX, but i would check ping plotter
Appreciate it thanks.
had a question: should overlays be edited solely on the website or is the OBS app okay as well?
Both are fine. The website is usually a bit more convenient with tabs etc. but not that much different.
why is my Desktop Audio playing my PS4 through all my scenes, i did just get the Lenovo Legion 5 Pro Help me
@nova scaffold I found myself having some issues using the app, which is also the most convenient for me, even after reinstalling. is this common?
We would need more data about the issues to say anything about it
This is the App with the overlay the way I like it, BEFORE clicking "edit overlay.
This is when I try to make a slight change, it shifts all of my other sources causing me to fix them one by one. @nova scaffold
It should not change the positioning of the sources at all, they are also locked
Does that happen to all overlays?
@nova scaffold I thought that was odd was well, it does happen to all the overlays
What OBS version and OBS.Live versions do you have?
OBS 27.1.3 and Live is running the latest (stable)
Looks normal. I would suggest a full reinstall if you want to do it.
And if that does not help, we can dig deeper
okay i will do!
I'm not sure where to ask this: I'm working with Amazon Live currently - StreamElements isn't able to connect o it to see Follower alerts, for example. Is there a way to manually activate a follower alert with something like a streamdeck from elgato?
I use OBS to stream
How's it going, I recently switched to obs and have been testing it out. I've come across this issue where when I drag obs onto my second monitor it gets cut off. Is there any fix for this?
A more general question - StreamElements and most of its widgets are attached or pull information from the networks it can connect to. i.e: Facebook, YouTube, Twitch, etc. Is there any way to use some of its widgets like alerts, in a platform that is StreamElements can't conenct to. Even if triggered manually? Since I main platform is none of those, I can't activate most of the assets StreamElements has, unless I can somehow do it manually. Any help would be appreciated.
The widgets and services are made only to work with our supported platforms, otherwise they won't be able to get the notifications for the alerts/widgets to react
thaks - and no way to trigger manually with something like a stream deck?
What are you trying to trigger manually?
Honestly, anything - new follower alert, even if it can't pull a name, for example.
if i see a new follower, press a button, and do the alert/emote. Works with a gif as source, but an actual alert would be 10x better.
The alerts would either need to be triggered by a live event, or done manually through the editor via emulation. The OBS.Live Stream Deck features need live alerts
Thank you!
Hi! I've tried to connect my Twitch bot account in the custom bot name 4 times and it does not seem to be taking as it does not show in the drop down and I still see the connect bot button.

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.
Hi everyone
I’m new to obs live and streaming, I set up alerts by copying the URL from streamelements to obs via browser
The only problem is when the alert goes off, the alert only shows the left side like it’s cut off
I don’t have any other source in front blocking it or anything
@cunning lichen ⤵️
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
@cunning lichen ⤵️
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
Hello. I switched my overlays and transitions from my computer to a USB drive. Now every time I add a new scene, with no sources added, it shows my ending screen for several seconds then goes black. Same if I transition to several other scenes but it show the scene normally. I've deleted the Ending Scene and it is still showing up.
That's def weird, can you share a small clip of this behavior?
How could I make a clip? Just do a test stream?
record your screen showing this behavior and you can upload it on your YT channel as unlisted or using any platform like "streamable"
I have the clip in YT - How do I share it with you?
you can DM me the link
widgets and overlays not showing up in obs
Hi there - I keep having a problem were my Stream Elements commands will just stop working and then randomly start working again - Things like !gamble !addpoints and chat alerts for when there is a new follow or when i start stream etc - I can't find anything that helps me fix this problem - Please help - it is most frustrating - Thanks
Seems to be behaving to me.
Hey guys how do u put on the viewer count when your streaming so u know how many people are watching

Good Morning. I came in yesterday re:dropped frames since Friday. I have called my ISP and we ran all the necessary tests. No packet loss. No jitter issues. I am still dropping frames when I stream to Twitch, over 200k frames on a 3.5 hour stream last night. While I am capable of 6000 bitrate and 1080p60, I turned it down to 720p60 and 2500 bitrate and I STILL drop network frames. One thing I notice is when I set a fixed bitrate, OBS will still surge to over 13000 bitrate and then crash to under 1000, even with bitrate limited in preferences. Is there anything else I can do? Sorry for wall of text.
Hi. First thing here: did you change twitch servers?
I've tried Auto. I've tried closest server (Atlanta) and I have tried some further away as some resources have recommended (Virginia). I am in Charlotte, NC area.
Second: did you try to check the twitch inspector? https://inspector.twitch.tv/#//
And the twitch bandwith test?https://r1ch.net/projects/twitchtest
I can recommend the 2nd tool to determine your connection to the Twitch servers in your region
The ISP might not be able to help you since they have no clue about twitch streaming servers and the routing in that specific case
The tech I spoke with is a streamer actually. I lucked out.
I can't run twitchtest because I'm streaming via Mac and it is Windows only. XBox Series X > Elgato > Macbook Pro. I did look at inspector and it does appear the failures are happening on the ATL server only, but when I use the Virginia server it appears to have no unstable events. I could try Virginia again, but it has failed before during this time.
I would suggest doing a few test streams with Inspector on different servers and figure out the issues here
The data can also help your ISP to figure out what is wrong
but this could be outside of your network so the ISP is usually not able to assist
It's strange. Everything was great for 3.5 months and then last Friday the bottom fell out. Do you know why OBS would do that bitrate surge I mentioned? I'll set the max bitrate to say, 4500 and it will spike at over 10000 in some instances.
It is not OBS, it is the network. And the network is a complex things, your routing might go through multiple networks from different providers before it reaches the server.
Sure I understand that. I work in tech ops for a living. That's what has me tearing my hair out about this. I have tried everything.
OBS just shows you what is happening in that case, aka the network is not able to handle the livestream feed without issues
If you have access to a windows machine (or running windows in bootcamp on your OSX device) you can use the twitch test tool to determine the server connections to all twitch servers around you
We are not aware of any tools like that for OSX, so out of luck here a bit
Yeah I don't want to bootcamp. I've got VMWARE and a virtual machine installed on here. Maybe I'll do it that way.
Worth a shot
I'll give it a shot. Appreciate the time. Thank you.
this issue is still persisting and I have been back and forward with riot support, they are confident that the issue is in obs.live ... can anyone help ? ^-^'
I've been watching videos etc with similar issues, a lot of people are saying avoid latest update for a while for it to iron out bugs and what have you... how do I revert to a previous update? x)
You’re just trying to stream league of legends?
I stream a few things, league is the only thing I am having this issue with at the moment for the last while
And you have it set to capture both the launcher and game or just the game?
I have seperate scenes for lobby and ingame itself
if I am able to screen share to you it is much easier to understand when you can see it
lobby has 0 issues at all, window capture
ingame refuses to be picked up anymore, just loads a single frame then sticks... Riot are no help, they've pretty much ruled out everything they can and are determined that the issue is in obs.live
testing now
(for some context, i am not new to streaming and usually on most things know what i'm doing) - this just doesnt wanna work for me anymore 
thank you 
love the tick profile picture btw, my dad was obsessed with him o:
I need to make my league borderless.... the full screen is bugging me
so far it is capturing correctly.
yeah fullscreen on league takes forever to tab in and out
it always has been fine for me, just one day it stopped working
would you mind if I screenshared to you so you see on my end what the issue is exactly? it's so furstrating that I can't figure out how it's happening never mind how to fix it yaknow T~T
leave game capture on auto is what I did
with league on borderless fullscreen? it wont pick it up for me
it doesnt pick it up with league in fullscreen either
mine doesnt like me at all, cant even get that single frame from before to show up anymore, now its just black with the red square top left (meaning theres "nothing" to pick up)
oh wait you're actually using live games to test it I just realised xD
it's easier to bop in and out of practice tool (under training) just for future ref
yeah i'm in a live game. is your obs.live running as administrator?
always
some games think its a cheat program if not
there's literally no explanation to why its behaving like this, I can't think of anything ._.
and your OBS is launched prior to entering the game?
been bopping in and out of both incase there was any preffered way, never had to before usually it doesnt matter
but, yes i've tried
I would suggest deleting your game capture and re-adding it.
I have done that multiple times :c
these are all like, the first things I did tbh x)
oh wait
this is new -
If I use window capture with these settings, it actually captures
the "windows graphics capture..." is working ?
only thing that is tho
should just be game capture....
I'm testing again with OBS.Live installed to verify that it's OBS.Live
why does this specific setting work and no others? I don't even know what this setting is for tbh, never touched it
by default its set to "automatic"
launcher I have no issues with
waiting for the game
so far it's capturing....
absoloutely nothing on my end, I have no idea what to do done everything that would be obvious, nothing is fixing
its no different
league open on second monitor 
is it possible to revert to a previous update?
maybe the most recent update disagrees with my pc
doubt it
im just gonna use google...
might restart your computer?
...
don't worry. clearly this is a new issue that is not a very well known thing, I found another thread of people complaining about it with possible fixes, thanks for your time
I don't know that it's actually an issue....if it can't be replicated reliably then it's probably not a bug
then why would other people have the exact same issue
doesnt matter- have a good day dude
you can try asking in the OBS discord....but I'm pretty sure they'll tell you the same
So I've tried to connect my bot account for the custom bot name for obslive, it doesn't seem to set it at all. I've tried the debugging port that I noticed when I searched the discord, but was unsuccessful. Could I get any incite on what to do next?
You tried this?
- Right-click your OBS desktop shortcut (not the OBS.Live shortcut) and navigate to 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)
https://streamelements.is-serious.business/3eCDjo7.jpg - Open OBS (or restart if it was open)
- Open your web browser and type in:
localhost:40404(try127.0.0.1:40404if you see issues - https://streamelements.is-serious.business/3EGPQFJ.jpg) - Click on StreamElements - Activity feed - https://streamelements.is-serious.business/2kJYt2b.jpg
- Type the following into the console and hit enter:
store.customBot.removeCustomBotIntegration() - Try setting the custom bot name, make sure you follow https://strms.net/custombotname
- Remove the flag added in step 2 from your shortcut properties
Yeah, it wouldn't allow me to access the localhost
Did you try the other option mentioned?
Yeah I tried both, even with the firewall disabled
Which icon did you choose for the 2nd step.
I just double checked the target line, just noticed a missing dash. Might be the solution

Alrighty I'm in! Happens to the best of us right? 😂
Also reminded me to fix that image as well 
Hello, there. I am trying to use an overlay from Streamelements for the first time. I have the URL saved and I'm trying to add it as the URL to a browser source in OBS live. However, when I emulate the alert, the alert is not centered in the browser source box in OBS. The alert is cut off and looks as though it is shifted to the far right where I can only see a tiny portion of the alert. Help?
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
And fixed, thanks 😂
How's it going, I recently switched to obs and have been testing it out. I've come across this issue where when I drag obs onto my second monitor it gets cut off. Is there any fix for this?
This is the issue i'm having with the alert box not scaling properly
The chosen alert animation happens outside of the actual selected red editing box. I've tried changing the resolution multiple times when adding the URL as a browser source.
I'm using the default StreamElements twitch chat widget. I've got the following code in my Browser Source Settings.
border-radius: 0px; !important
}
Unfortunately that doesn't seem to work, but I know the code itself is working. Two images attached, one with border-radius set to 70px (to show the code is working), and one with it set to 0px (to show there's still a curve for some reason!) I'd love it to have no curve at all.
everytime i load into obs it says my twitch token is no longer valid how can i fix this?
settings > stream
disconnect
reconnect account
im switching to Elements, and its great so far, but the one problem is that I need to be able to choose my Youtube live settings, ie private/unlisted/public stream as well as choose my Live thumbnail.
My previous OBS had a pop up where you filled this all in. Elements simply has a Start Streaming button.
ok so my auto play have been turned on, but it still seems to not auto play the next song. Ive tried everything to make it work and it doesnt. its very rare, but it does auto play like 1 every 30 songs
anyone know how I can fix this?
When using my vertical monitor I never can get the windows to split like that. I jsut resize the application window from corner dragging
It doesnt let me
wait really?
I can resize it?
ur putting ur mouse close enough to the corner?
I feel like it should be an automatic thing. like if it was a default setting in windows or something
For whatever reason it doesnt let me
Its very weird
Hi I'm struggling with silly stuff on OBS like making my camera fit in my overlay without looking warped lol
I think its worth noting that I am VERY new to streaming on PC
not sure if im in the right dept
What the heck—
It’s a bug. Unfortunately not fixed but they are aware.
oh ok ok
thanks for letting me know. I thought maybe I've broke it somehow
I was donated 150$ and it didn't post to my paypal
Yeah it randomly stops working and even though it might work offline it doesn't mean it will work online
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 anyone about to tell me why the villn3000 account isn't able to send songrequests?
no commands are working for just this account??
where can i find the plugins to stream elements?
OBS.Live is a Plugin for OBS created by StreamElements. You can download OBS.Live here: https://streamelements.com/obslive
Please make sure you have the latest version of OBS installed, Current Version: 26.1.1. You can install OBS here: https://obsproject.com/
why host alerts works but not autohost??? pls helpme
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.
well im using only the host alert from the streamelements for that
uhh im very confused
after i downloaded OBS.live from https://streamelements.com/dashboard none of my applications will work anymore like Photoshop, OBS, Voicemod, etc. The only things that do work is my browser and Discord? please i need help
Things like this happen
Hi, I'm having an issue where in my obslive when I go live for youtube my youtube chat box just flickers it doesn't switch to my chat for youtube it's like it's glitching. I've uninstalled everything and reinstalled still not working. Does anyone have a work around for this?!
Hi. That does not look like an issue with OBS.Live.
More like an issue with drivers or something else that runs deeper into the system and is used by this software. The most common point would be the GPU acceleration used by those programs - if the drivers crash, that can result in such issues.
the thing is this only happened after i downloaded OBS.live and before i downloaded it photoshop and OBS worked properly
Anyone available to help? I’m going to set up a new pc and log into obs studio with the obs live add on as Facebook. When I put my info in it recognizes me and asks continue as my name then the next screen would say choose the profile but it stays stuck at the a white screen like it’s loading. I tried it with twitch and that worked, but I don’t use twitch anymore. Any suggestions on how to get past that white screen to choose the profile and load Facebook?
Can you uninstall OBS.Live and test it?
i will try
so i uninstalled it and it is still happening, it probably overwrote sometimg that is needed to use all the other apps
I'm using the default StreamElements twitch chat widget. I've got the following code in my Browser Source Settings.
border-radius: 0px; !important

Hi. Can i ask you why you wish to use custom CSS in the OBS browser source settings in that case? Specially for simple things like the border radius?
This can be done on our end with custom CSS too if you need it as a custom widget with rounded corners.
In the default Chat Widget for SE (which is what I'm using) there's no way to get to the code that I can see. 😦
What I'm actually trying to achieve is having ZERO rounded corners. I want them edges. But doing that code with 0 still leaves 1-2px of rounded.
Normally if it lets me at the code I'm used to seeing "Open Editor" in Settings, but with SE's chat there isn't that button.
Anyone available to help? I’m going to set up a new pc and log into obs studio with the obs live add on as Facebook. When I put my info in it recognizes me and asks continue as my name then the next screen would say choose the profile but it stays stuck at the a white screen like it’s loading. I tried it with twitch and that worked, but I don’t use twitch anymore. Any suggestions on how to get past that white screen to choose the profile and load Facebook?
You would need to create a fully custom widget to do this in our editor. The chat widget does not have custom CSS options by default.
I don't know how to create a fully custom widget, that's why I'm trying to use the CSS options in OBS. 😅
Sadly same applies to me, i'm not into coding so i can't help much in this case.
And i have not seen anything similar here on our discord so far so i could point you into the right direction.
I would recommend checking the OBS project discord - we only provide a plugin and do not change how the styling options in OBS work.
So they might know the answer.
Okay I'll see if they can give it a shot, thanks!
Also, are we able to figure out my alerts issue? I posted an update to that: It's still doing the base alert seemingly at random.
Can you try to increase the chances for each alert variation (was 5% i believe) and remove the "pick one random if more than one matches" option in the variation settings?
Oh my gosh that option is probably it. I assumed it picked an alert randomly FROM THE MATCHING CRITERIA. Not just completely at random.
But now that means there's just... no way to do what I want? My alerts are for a "dice roll" effect. That's why 5%. A 20 sided die, each alert shows one of the numbers 1-20. 5% chance each.
The random pick will work, but with 5% each you might see weird effects and some alerts might never play for days because the chance is so low.
No
for you 
So you're saying that the "Pick an alert randomly" DOES only do what satisfies the requirements?
It sounds like what's happening is that the "base alert" is included in the random as well? Since it technically has no requirements other than "user subscribed"?
This is frustrating, I'm not seeing a logical way to do this.
Pick one alert randomly will pick an alert randomly if more than one alert matches the criteria, including the base alert.

So if you mess with the chances, you want that feature turned off.
Right but if I turn it off... my 1-20 alerts need to NOT have the same chances, which I need them to for a random d20 roll.
If I try to work that "base alert" in by making it say, 1, and then have the other 19 as normal and keep that option ON... that means the first time someone ever subs it'll ALWAYS show the 1 and I'll never be able to have a base alert.
Is there any way to exclude that base alert from the "pick alert randomly" option? Or a clever way to accomplish what I want that I'm not seeing?
If you turn that off, the chances will apply for each individual alert. So if you have 20 of them with 5% chance, it will roll the dice and pick one with a 5% chance and since this is random it can pick whatever.
Oh wait really?
So if I turn that off, it'll still look at 5% chance on each of the 20 and pick one?
Oh... no with that option off, it just took the alert at the top with a 5% chance and turned off every other alert with a 5% chance. 😦
Try to turn them on
They're "On" they're just greyed out?
The system is designed to have either pick one random from multiple alerts OR use the chances so you can create the variations with chances.
Something strange is going on, can you give me your channel name and the overlay name and i take a look at it?
It might actually be okay? They're greyed out but doing some sample tests it looks like they're rolling random?
I'd still really appreciate you taking a look just in case my overlay is messed up somehow.
Channel name is "Shaeandra" and overlay is just called "Alerts"
Oh... no it just did the base alert. Arrrgh. (So we're not taking up space I'm also okay with going to a thread or DM, or if you're fine with it here is still good)
Checking it now
Ok, might have changes since i last looked at that feature. With that button enabled the alerts will be picked randomly based on the chance now. Sorry for the confusion.
We can remove the base alert and create a variation for 1 month to bypass the issue, since we can't put a chance on the base alert.
Okay so what exactly do I need to do? Since I tried "removing" the base alert by just wiping the sound and image that displays but that didn't remove it. It just made it so that when it was "picked randomly" nothing happened at all.
I do, by the way, have a Variation called "Base Alert" that is "When months subscribed is exactly 1" -- that works great if it's the case.
But the moment someone is resubscribing, that actual base alert gets folded into the "chances" and I don't know how to "remove the base alert"
Remove the image and the sound and the text from the alert field just in case. And in general the variations will always have a priority over the base alert if the conditions are met
for example subscriber with exactly 2 months will trigger only that variation if it exists
So I want to...
-
Wipe out the image/sound/text from the base alert.
-
Keep my chances 1-20 variations at 5% (when months sub greater than 2)
-
Have a Base Alert variant for when months subbed equals exactly 1.
-
"Pick an alert randomly when more than one matches" should be ON?
Yes, try it. And turn it ON. it seems to have changed at some point and i missed the change, sorry for the confusion
Okay giving it a go, fingers crossed. And can I also just say thanks for working with me instead of saying "can't be done too bad" -- in fact, Cryonic, I think you're the person I ALWAYS get when I message StreamElements... you're a machine! haha
I don't think it's doing it proper. In SE I got an animation (rolled a 3) but on OBS absolutely nothing happened (which is what I'd expect if it picked the base alert, which is currently set to nothing at all)
If I do a test alert of 1 month exactly it works perfectly with the "base alert variant months = 1" every time.
If I do Emulate --> Sub --> Custom and then put more than 1 month... sometimes it'll do the rolls (it picks 2, or 7, or 13, etc.) but sometimes... nothing at all happens. (Probably hitting that base "nothing" alert)
So it seems like blanking it doesn't disable it?
Let me try that a bit more
will be a live test so if you see emulated alerts - those are me messing with them
Okay for sure!
ALSO, and I don't know if this matters... what I see on my StreamElements editor isn't what I see on OBS.
So like... I'll see you (or me whoever) roll a 13 and on OBS it rolls a 17. Is that an issue or just how it works?
And for the purposes of your test... this is happening. In my OBS I've seen it roll when you saw nothing, and vice-versa.
I do some tests without saving the overlay so the changes are not reflected in OBS on your end
But yes, it is me testing it
This works as intended with the base alert set to 19, i have that set to 19.
So you can remove the variation with the number 19 now and keep everything else enabled, it will be randomized properly.
Aha so we've used that "pick at random" and worked WITH the base one. Really though it's true random so that 5% could be set to anything right? Once it looks at the variants and base and goes "these 20 things meet the condition" then it just picks one at complete random (or however you guys are doing your random algorithm.
So now I've got a "Base Variant" alert that'll always work when someone is a NEW sub (instead of the actual base alert) and then the ACTUAL base alert is one of the "chances" to roll, along with the other 19 variants... which it picks at random.
Is that right?
Hi, I'm having an issue where in my obslive when I go live for youtube my youtube chat box just flickers it doesn't switch to my chat for youtube it's like it's glitching. I've uninstalled everything and reinstalled still not working. Does anyone have a work around for this?!
Anyone available to help? I’m going to set up a new pc and log into obs studio with the obs live add on as Facebook. When I put my info in it recognizes me and asks continue as my name then the next screen would say choose the profile but it stays stuck at the a white screen like it’s loading. I tried it with twitch and that worked, but I don’t use twitch anymore. Any suggestions on how to get past that white screen to choose the profile and load Facebook?
Can you make sure you select only one profile page when logging in with Facebook?
Logging in with FB while multiple pages are selected is not working right now, this is a known issue
It can affect both our site and our tools
This is the workaround we recommend right now.^
@nova scaffold If that was the case and it's all resolved then thank you very much for sticking with it with me! Stellar support. 🙂
And I appreciate your time.
I wish you an amazing weekend, reach out to us anytime you need assistance 
Is my post invisible?
I've posted my issue twice and it gets skipped over both times
Not sure if it's going through or noy
Not
No, but we are looking into the issue. Do you have more details - did that start after an update of some sort? New drivers for the GPU, OBS update, OBS.Live update?
First time i see this issue.
Does that persist after a PC restart?
It just started randomly. I've restarted multiple times it does it no matter what
There was no update or anything
So nothing was updated? Windows, drivers, clients - everything the same?
It was out of the blue it started.
I would suggest a clean reinstall in that case. Save your profiles and scene collections by exporting them from OBS top menu. Then uninstall OBS.Live, uninstall OBS Studio, grab a fresh OBS Studio installer and then install the stable release of OBS.Live from here:
https://cdn.streamelements.com/obs/dist/obs-streamelements-installer-wrapper/windows/latest/obs-streamelements-setup-stable.exe
With the stable release for OBS.Live?
Yea
21.9.27.783
This is the stable OBS.Live version
Very weird issue.
Can i recommend something a bit more advanced?
Use Display Driver Uninstaller to wipe your GPU driver and then reinstall it. DDU is a free and safe tool that makes sure that everything that is related to the graphics driver is uninstalled
Since this is a visual glitch and it persists through a reinstall, i would try that next
I did that last night for a different reason then this but it still did not change it.
I was having issues with a game so I wiped the old gpu drivers to reinstall clean
Mh, things get weirder and weirder.
Is that the only glitch you noticed?
outside of the game issues before, i assume those are fixed now
Yea thats the only issue I've had other then hardware acceleration causing my obs to crash and black screen my pc
I'm not exactly sure what is causing this issue. Looks like a local issue for sure and as the next step i would recommend testing it with a simple GPU swap, of course if you have a spare GPU to test it
That's a no lol
The issues you described lead to the GPU in that case
One was hard enough to find
and yeah i know, GPUs are worth their weight in gold these days xD
That they are
Thank you!
I know this sounds weird, but maybe the windows installation took a wrong turn somewhere. Getting to the root cause of that issue might be very tricky, this is the only report so far.
And from what i have seen - hardware acceleration bugging out, games not functioning and now the visual glitch in OBS - i could recommend a fresh windows install if this is an option. Just in case.
In general it is really hard to track down those issues and a reinstall is often a faster fix.
Yea ill end up doing that I think.
i need help with getting my stream to show on the obs
When I go live it not showing my game capture screen
ya i am having same problem
OBS.Live - top menu > StreamElements > Logout.
You are logged in with YouTube, so it wants to stream to YouTube of course. Need to log in with Twitch.
Hello, I hope some maybe able to help me if not no big deal, I have been using a transition as a stinger for a while not for some reason It's not playing the sound it like it was before is there in type of fix for this matter
Hi! For some reason every time I use Cloud Backup of my streaming setup, it removes multiple dock options from OBS View menu completely, they were a part of my set up when I created the backup but now it doesn't get loaded in and it doesn't let me add it because the option gets removed from the View>Docks dropdown menus completely
I have tried multiple fresh installs of both the add-on and the OBS studio, but every time the docks disappear and they cease to be options after I import my backup
(I tried to re-download OBS.live and OBS all over again to get my docks back and now it's auto installing the cloud backups and now I need to install obs all over again, my docks options for stream information etc just gets completely removed. Just installing the OBS.live is breaking my OBS now ;-;)
@limber bobcat I have the same problem as well I have to reboot obs for it to come back which suck
Yeah I ended up giving up on obs.live. I just pop out the streamelements activity feed and add it as a custom dock ;-;
Had to re-do everything for the 4th time D:
I wished it would show a error message to where we can send it over to the dev but it does not i hate when the top just disappears after you click on it as well
You need to connect to twitch in obs settings > stream instead of using a stream key
The streamelements activity feed panel is located under the streamelements menu > obs.live docks > activity feed
how do i get the thing that says last subscriber ant that stuff
@kindred fox
How do I change the Start Stream settings? I'm trying to go live on Twitch but it keeps opting for my Facebook channel instead
sooo obs was working yesterday i install live cuz i wanted my chat and activity feed back but it would seem that upon start obs.live requests the start and gives up
crashes and closes

I am having an issue with a widget on streamlab not showing up on OBS
Can't help with that.
is there anywhere I can go to get help? I feel a bit lost
To their server.
ok thanks
oh I am so sorry I did not mean to say streamlabs I meant to say stream elements sorry for that confusion
i know this is a mad stupid question but hopw do i get the chat to show up on my screen? when i first nstalled the app it showed it but i closed the thing and now i cant figure out how to open it again
nevermind, i figured it out hehe
you mean the dock chat on obs?
Yes, I figured it out tho hehe
Hey team, Might be an obvious answer but I have been struggling to figure it out. Is there any way to have the media request response as a whisper or even not exist? We are finding that as more people use the song request it is starting to flood our chat. I think this is the right spot to ask this but let me know if I need to move it. Thanks!
Unfortunately no.
ah bugger, thanks for that, saves me continuing to dig haha!
Hey everyone, someone followed me off stream and I want to replay that alert in OBS live but when I try to replay the alert from the stream elements activity feed it does not show up. Do I have to fix something in stream elements? Because the alerts are showing up when I simulate them from stream elements.
hey does any one know why, when in obs and i go onto edit wigets and data it just loads a white screen? normally its all good ? thanks 🙂
Do other alerts show up?
Where exactly do you go? Do you mean the overlay editor?
hey! thanks for getting back to me, alerts seem to of stopped, so in OBS on the streamelements tab at the top, the dropdown, stream setup>> edit widgets data>> after clicking this it opens a pop up window but it stays blank.
i might log out and back in again, as i put owned in last night, might of bugged it out possibly
logging in and out has made it come back now? not sure what happened to be honest, but just checking settings on the inside and they are all still there, so just might of been one of those moments! Thank you so much for reaching out though i appriciate it! have a wonderful day!
@ashen fog ⤵️
Please logout of StreamElements at https://streamelements.com/logout and then login again to your account (Twitch/YouTube/Facebook).
Yes
I'll take a look
@deft summit hmm I can't mess around with it since you're live.
Tell me when it's ok to make things pop up on screen. 😆
Just ended stream
I just tried it out and now it works
I see! Ok, talk to us if it stops working again. 😆
hi how do i use an overlay to fit the screen i cant seem to resize so it sits on the screen properly
@visual canopy ⤵️
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
ya it still doesnt fit the screen
Can you show a screenshot please?

and what is your obs resolution?
1920 x 1080
@nova scaffold so I fixed my issue somehow. I changed my stream from YouTube to twitch and now it works.
Hello, I am having issues with the animated super themes. The animated portions are incredibly laggy. 1 frame per 5 seconds or so. I have tried a couple. They have worked in the past with no issues. I am using OBS studios.

Hey i cant capute Games from the Epic Games Launcher with Game Caputer, i tested: GTA V, PC Building Simulator and Fortnite
so i figured it out but how do i get a webcam to stay activated when switching scenes
You should be able to add an existing webcam source to a new scene
my chatbox has black font and its hard to read anyone have a good setup for a chatbox
You can adjust the font color for the chatbox in the web editor interface
Hey I haven't been able to connect my custom bot to OBS Live at all. I've tried repeatedly to log-in but it still doesn't show up and I can't even send a test message with it. I've tried making sure OBS and OBS live are updated plus relogging with my main account but nothing has worked so far. I did change my username on Twitch a couple of months ago but like I've said I've relogged/reconnected on all my current integrations.
Hey guys I just got my streamdeck XL set up.... I'm wondering how to go about adding it as a source in OBS?

hey can I have some help my screen on the live is zoomed and in a square I've searching for an hour pls
how can i access to streamelements special dock such as media request on obs.live studio?
btw its not in the stream elements tab on top
Can't get step 4 to work for me at all. I keep trying to connect to both localhost40404 and 127.0.0.1:40404 but my browser tells me I can't connect and I've tried both Firefox and Google Chrome.

Hey, My alert sounds are working but they are not popping up on stream. Is there a fix to this?
Is this the right channel to get overlay support with transparent images/animations? If not,could someone please direct me to where I can get help with this, for stream elements overlay editor?
What are you trying to do?

Try this ^^
@kindred fox i added an alert. used the overlay creator that you have. but the sound goes off but the picture and notification doesnt pop up on stream
i tried that and it didnt work
Yeah so I hit "Start stream" then choose "Go live from facebook studio" and obs crashes there. But if i go live from OBS directly it wont crash
So if you create a blank overlay, add an alert box widget, and then add it to obs, do the alerts show up?
Is hardware acceleration enabled or disabled?
ive tried it with enabled and disabled
When you enable/disable you need to relaunch obs
it does it automatically
Is the bot a moderator in your channel?
And if you test in the editor it is displaying correctly?
correct
And you added the overlay at 1920x1080?
I am trying to have small,transparent animations in my overlay,like a character or object, without fighting file type limits. I don't understand how others have the transparent middle in overlay,but then non-transparent around it,and transparent-background items on the screen for different reasons. How to describe.. The default notification animations for new follower,for example, I want something like those sizes but transparent animation.
I’m definitely not following
Do other elements of your overlay display?
i am new to this. so thats the only overlay i have. is that why?
If you can't help me,am I at least in the right channel/help with overlay editor?
thank you brother
Technically yes? Do you have an example of what you’re trying to do?
I can see if I understand better with an example, and where to point you
@kindred fox so it pops up, but now it is like half in the screen and half out. is that orientation?
Thankyou for offering to help. Some overlays have the transparent space where a drawing/camera/gaming space goes,but also animated,transparent background objects,like how the hype cup is (not functioning as one)..but instead, another image?
Make sure your overlay is correct resolution. You also should have a base canvas of 1920x1080 and scaled output lower like 1280x720
So you want something like one of the themed overlays?
i got it. Thank you!
yes? I'm sorry,I'm not good at explaining..I really just want to know what upload option for a simple animated thing,that also gives transparency. I did once with my hype cup,it is as a webm file,but now I try to test with a simple doodle animation even. I can't get it to do transparency,I can't remember what I did last time, and it's bothering me so much.
how do I get the alpha channel from the program I drew in? I remember I had to use a converter for the hype cup animation,but I use another program to put my frames together,and I didn't this time,because it's making the image look odd with rough colors and such,I don't remember changing any settings. I don't know if we're allowed to name programs here,or I'd name them,if that could get me some help.
Try DaVinci resolve. It’s free and should be able to export it
can I import the frames into it and export as webm? this looks complicated lol
No idea. I use Adobe
But I’m pretty sure DaVinci can do it. If not you can Google webm converter and see if it will export the alpha channel
Okay,thankyou very much for your help. 
hello! i'm curious if the position where the chat messages in the chat widget on the overlays can be changed? instead of starting from the bottom, it gets sent from the top? thanks!
Check #widget-share
There may be a widget that does that
oooh okay, thanks @kindred fox !

Hi I need some help if possible… I am a streamer and for some reason now every time I click start streaming in OBS the program goes to “not responding”. Video source via Stream key on Facebook gaming. I’ve streamed so much in the past and had no problems but just recently it doesn’t work at all. I have ran in admin mode, prioritised OBS on graphics settings etc. anyone that could help?? Thanks in advanced
Hi. With FB gaming you need to start the livestream from the "Live Video Settings" tab instead of the "start streaming" button - can you try it? This is a known issue.
i will try now thanks for your quick response
Hey Guys, i got a big problem, idk what it is but it is someting... okay so well basically, i was Streaming yesterday everything was fine and worked normaly, and i wanted to Stream again today BUT when i open it, it keeps opening Twitch Tabs over and over again and i dont know why, like there is no key stuck that would do it or something, i reinstalled it and idk what to do
And if its unclear what i mean i could do a Video of it so someone of the Staff could see what i mean 😅
And i really like OBS Studio with Steamelements and i dont wanna switch
guys why does streamelements stop responding to my bot?? this is the second time this is happening in two days. the only fix ive found it making a new bot account. Its so annoying. Reinstalling doesnt help either
i have lag spikes on streamElements but not on GameCapture HD any one have a clue?
Hi, Do you use a custom bot name?
A custom name? yes
Can you try to remove it and check if the bot works?
@hardy oak ⤵️
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
Try it this way please
Okay i somehow fixxed it for now, with loggin into one of the hundreds of tabs and i hope it wont happen it again
Ok ive done that, it's still not responding to its own commands
Can you give me your channel name? I check the bot status

- Remove the flag added in step 2 from your shortcut properties
Followed all those steps and still nothing
The custom bot name is still enabled, if you follow the steps exactly it will be turned off.
You need to return the bot to the basic StreamElements name first.
Is there a widget that displays both Date and Time? (sorry if this doesn't belong in this channel)
there is no custom bot name set and I have selected streamelements
Access for !commands is set to Everyone
Is there anything you guys have seen with obs live and windows 11 giving weird system studders? Or is that just an OBS / windows 11 bug? I shouldn't have any issues with running it but i've noticed some studdering when i just have it open and I'm playing anything. just curious I guess
Does it stutter on stream?
So am i just hard locked out of stream elements?
No, the fix above (if applied correctly) will reset the custom bot function and return the bot to the original name, StreamElements.
This is what you need to do so you can then keep using the bot with the default name or rename it again
I haven't seen since I just noticed it saturday and I haven't streamed since friday
Both the instruction youve provided are instructing me to set a custom bot name, yet you're telling me I need reset it and return to the original name...
@hardy oak ⤵️
- Right-click your OBS desktop shortcut (not the OBS.Live shortcut) and navigate to 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)
https://streamelements.is-serious.business/6ihr2EL.jpg - Open OBS (or restart if it was open)
- Open your web browser and type in:
localhost:40404(try127.0.0.1:40404if you see issues - https://streamelements.is-serious.business/3EGPQFJ.jpg) - Click on StreamElements - Activity feed - https://streamelements.is-serious.business/2kJYt2b.jpg
- Type the following into the console and hit enter:
store.customBot.removeCustomBotIntegration() - Try setting the custom bot name, make sure you follow https://strms.net/custombotname
- Remove the flag added in step 2 from your shortcut properties
- Try setting the custom bot name
Yes, you can ignore the step 7 if you want to leave the bot as StreamElements
Step 7 is so you can try if the fix was successful for the custom bot name change part, not just resetting the bot
Ive tried both sets of instructions (excluding step 7) 3 times over, making sure to reread the instruction each time. It's still not working
and has fixed nothing
Im using StreamElments as the botname. Custom bot name isn't even set.
And i see that the StreamElements bot is responding correctly in your channel now
No.. it is not
So the custom bot name is removed now and it is working as intended
look again
I just tested it
You need to understand that commands have a cooldown
It will respond once the cooldown is over to prevent spam
test different commands please
Yes everything is working as expected in that case, the bot is set to the default name and is responding according to commands and the cooldowns for the commands
If you keep spamming the same command, it will not respond until that command is off cooldown.
what do you mean it is responding correctly? you see it is NOT responding to the green username yes?
the first !accountage is the first ever time that command has been typed, and its from the green username
I dont see how it could be on cooldown iff it's the first time its ever typed....
I will even make a new test command to show you
Hey
I have a problem with OBS.Live that if I press Start Streaming I am told that I am live, but I stay offline on Twitch. Anyone have an idea what I can do there?
Yes, of couse it does. It's not working for a specific user; giantpogchamp
any one have experiance with lag spikes in stream of StreamElements? when i open GameCapture HD i dont have this problem
@hardy oak Please let that user test the commands without testing them yourself for a bit, see if the user management is set correctly for the command levels etc. The bot is set up correctly in this case.
But i tested the command with giantpogchamp before I even tested it with any other account. giantpogchamp account was the first to type it and it didnt work.
I will make a new command and test it ONLY with giantpogchamp to show you
I've made a new command then, and has tested it with ONLY this user. still not replying
Hello. I have been trying to fight this error for over a day now, and am feeling like I'm out of options. I've tried completely uninstalling and reinstalling to no luck many times. Not sure if this is an OBS live issue or the base studio being broken, but figured I'd ask.
Do you have filters that could prevent this user from getting replies?
No i do not
@zinc atlas ⤵️
Visual Studio 2019 runtimes are required by the plugins that come with OBS Studio.
Download and install both vc2019redist_x86.exe and vc2019redist_x64.exe from https://obsproject.com/visual-studio-2019-runtimes
Let me log in and check it
Sure can we take this to DM?
No DM's please unless we request it.
I just checked, the bot has no filters set up at all
So this is correct and nothing should be blocked in that case
how am i meant to let you login then?
So you just need my consent then? i consent
Do you have another bot maybe that would filter out the responses here? On our end we can't replicate the issue
When I try and get those, I get an error here too. When I open the log files, It says that I cannot download it when I have a newer version installed? meaning that the original error shouldn't have happened in the first place?
No nothing
Uninstall the version currently installed on your computer and install the newer version you downloaded, then launch obs
Can you get a few more viewers to test it? I will also try something internally
It works with every other account, just not giantpogchamp
I have removed him as moderator on the StreamElements user management and added him again. Please test commands one more time
If that does not help then we have either a bug or a third party is blocking it
Ive had a friend try the test commands
Where would those files be stored by default, I can't seem to locate them. if they are stored within the obs studio folder, they are deleted already.
Windows control panel is how you would uninstall a Microsoft runtime
Ive had a friend test and its replying to their account. I've tested giantpogchamp again and still nothing
Found em, thanks.
Are you sure you have no third party tools etc. that could block his username etc in the responses?
Because on our end everything that could filter it is disabled and we are unable to replicate the issue
No I dont have anything, idk what that would even be
I will even restart my pc and try again with only firefox open in the chat
be back in 2 mins
Still not working after computer restart and only firefox running on my PC
I would recommend the user to relog at this point, the issue is not on your end
relog does nothing
They logged out of twitch and back in?
Yes
It’s definitely something with that user
This is gonna sound really dumb, but Unmod them and test
Wow
Yep
That’s a weird one
Did you try to remove the moderator status from this user and adding it back?
Its removed currently, but I will try with it added back
Does nothing
Have you tried parting the bot from your channel and joining it back via the dashboard?
How do I go about parting the bot?
Oh i have found it
Ok, it's parted. Im going to confirm
Ok confirmed. now i will add it back
OMG
i think it worked????!
yay
Yeah, that can't be on your end since it is a cloud bot and the Twitch chat
hello i did import my overlays from streamlabs to obs studio with streamelemnts how can i add them ?
I just set up the custom bot and it works for commands, but does not seem to show timers or notifications for followers, bits, etc. Am I missing something?
so the last 2 days my fps has been tanking on the stream but not my game and ive never had a issue with it before
any tips to fix this??
Hi I'm running trough a lot of laggy audio from my discord audio to streamelements but the problems come not from discord anyone can help me ? If someone can help please ping me 😀
how do you connect your youtube account to obs.live
By logging in with YouTube. If you are already logged in with a different platform - go to the top menu > StreamElements > Logout.
Hi hi, I'm new to streaming. Want to start doing so on twitch. However I just got OBS and not sure what to do with it. I hit start streaming and it says I have no video output. Where I'm trying to get to is where I can jsut plug in my game daily and then play and stream with my face in the corner.

Hi. i am new to streamelements and would like to know is there a way to test the alert boxes in obs
@brisk seal ⤵️
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
is that the website i have to go to ior is there a download for my overlays?
i am confused . i am sorry is this in obs ?
