thank you
Hello, I've been trying to set up the alerts on the Pixelart series to have custom sounds versus the default ones. I have removed the default sound and replaced it with the sound I wish to play. I have the volume for the new sound set to 75% and the Video sound set to 0% and I somehow hear both sounds at the same time. This does not seem to effect variations.
I'm aware that I can technically copy them, but then I cannot use the randomized option.
Ok, so I have learned that if I play the alert directly from the variations settings list, it doesn't play the default sound
however, when I use the emulator, I get the default sound playing on top of the new one
Make sure your variations are configured correctly. Can you screenshot them?
Here you are
Is that the custom image?
Also when you’re testing do you have both the browser and obs open?
no, I wanted to use the images that came with the overlay. I do have both open, however, I did check the box so it does not play the alert in both locations
You can mute the editor and then test it
how do I do that?
Do you have alerts in multiple overlays?
Make sure to check the box to “shutdown when not visible” in every overlay properties in obs
It is currently my only overlay. I just made the switch from Streamlabs
but somehow checking that box did fix it
Odds are it was open in another scene in obs
yup that's fixed. Thank you so much!
Woot
@kindred fox
still cannot login
stuck on the whitescreen
whenever i try to connect w/ facebook
Yikes!
If you are not seeing the OBS Twitch integrations and have OBS.Live installed, please follow these steps:
- Make sure you are on the latest and greatest version of OBS.Live
- Exit OBS (make sure OBS is not running)
- Delete
%appdata%\obs-studio\plugin_config\obs-browser\obs_profile_cookies - Start OBS.Live
- Settings > Stream > Disconnect > Connect
Thank you again @kindred fox !! I just ran through all of my alerts and they're working just fine.
Hmmm
What platform?
i tried leaving this for an hour still on a white screen
Yeah I’m asking staff
should i just reinstall everything? @kindred fox 😦
reinstalled everything @kindred fox still white screen. rip
try this #helpdesk-facebook message
worked. thank you
I'm getting hung up trying to import my SL-OBS into the OBS Live. Stuck on importing alerts (2 of 1), but we're at 100%. What do I need to do to get the import to complete?
Any actual local media files?
No, but I do have the files on a passport HD and can move them to this computer. Will that do it?
Where doesn't matter. No media sources at all and only images/overlays?
Correct
Lets see this.
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.
is there anyway to add your own transitions, rather than just the 'fade' etc?
please ping me if you reply to me 
nvm, worked it out, its stinger or something lol, no need to reply
give it a shot, just to be on the safe side
also, since the import reads as 100%, can you see the overlays on your StreamElements page?
Trying to make a Latest Sub/Follower/Tip text appear on OBS via the OBSlive overlay widget, but I can't see anything in OBS.
create an overlay on the Streamelements website, then grab the link and add it obs
I did that. Same as I did with my alerts. The alerts work. The overlay does not.
check the browser source size
as in, resolution
does it match that of the overlay you created?
Ok... I think that did it.
glad I could help 😛
Hello!
According to this StreamElements guide we can make a Custom Dock in OBS Live for our Widget Data.
https://support.streamelements.com/en/articles/45-widget-data
However when I do so it only creates a blank white dock.
How can I fix this?
Can someone please tell me when the "SAVE" button in OBS Live under Media Request, will start working again? Currently no reaction when clicking on it. It does not save there anymore. Also logging out and logging in again made no difference. Problem have others I know, too! What works is that you do it via the SE Dashboard page but why so cumbersome?
my obs is going in hanged state as soon as i start stream
can anyone please help in this
I'm attempting to import from SLOBS and, well, it's stuck.. What do?
what do you mean by hanged stated?
can you see the alert overlay appearing on your StreamElements page?
Doesn't seem to be there?
Oh I've just found something behind it... "Failed to import alertbox"
do any of the files on your alertbox exceed 30mb in size?
I didn't think it did, but it appears that yeah, it does.
hi, im trying to stream GeforceNOW, but just shows black screen
tried Game capture, window capture, and desktop capture shows stupid yellow line around the application.
@vestal vessel ⤵️
Obs.live is a plugin for OBS Studio for the best OBS support, please join their Official Discord @ https://discord.gg/obsproject
Trying to add stream labels and it's just showing no text at all, and yes it's set up and yes it's visible...
heya! i'm having some trouble with my obs.live. i'm trying to get my stream overlays (that i created on the stream elements desktop browser site) transferred into obs.live; i've submitted it correctly i think (as a browser source) but the alerts still don't pop up correctly when i test them
sometimes the alert audios double, or i can see like one word from the test pop up in my obs.live
but otherwise the alerts just aint poppin up :C
@atomic torrent
It’s referring to creating a custom widget using the overlay editor
I am having issues with media request it doesn't auto play songs and seems like it makes all the songs in my playlist into their own playlists and pauses
@rugged quail ⤵️
To add your overlays to OBS, add a new browser source in your scene. Paste your overlay URL in the browser source properties, set the dimensions to 1920x1080 (unless you changed them on the website) and check Shutdown source when not visible. https://youtu.be/KDvLynUqXI4
The Edit Widgets pop up screen in OBS is just staying plain white, any ideas how to fix? It only started happening yesterday

Can anyone help me out with getting my font to show in OBS? The browser source has no Custom CSS in OBS
It's a google font, and im using @import to use it in the CSS.
@green lodge ⤵️
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.
No need for custom css
Ohh I am truly dumb. Thanks Bot! And thank you sudo, I'm using the CSS just out of preference because text stroke and shadowing options are easier fore me that way
Oh my gosh I'm even dumber, I didn't have the font installed on my Streaming PC, Only gaming. Don't be me folks!
Has anyone had any experience connecting to obs.live with an elgato hd60s from a console? HD game capture recognizes my game capture fine but obs.live cannot find the device.
I am getting this strange error just when I wanted to start streaming again.
I've tried restarting the router, the PC, tried different stream locations and played around with 'Bind to IP'.
Bind to IP should be set to default
It is
And you can connect to regular websites?
Reinstall obs?
Done
Are you using custom rtmp server?
Nope, not even an idea what that means
So in obs settings > stream
Not a single thing has changed since yesterday when is streamed for the last time
Are you streaming to twitch?
Yeah
Use the Twitch Bandwidth Test to find the best Twitch server to stream to. Set Duration to Medium. You can uncheck any regions you're not near.
After the test completes, click the Share Result button to upload a screenshot, which can then be copied and pasted here.
Get Twitch Test from https://r1ch.net/projects/twitchtest.
Try this thing
See if it’s twitch
If that thing can’t reach twitch then something is up
Are you running obs as admin? And have you installed 4K Capture utility as well? I can’t remember if the HD60s needs both….
Yessir
You got something going on
So not obs….
Did someone filter twitch on your network? I once blocked all traffic to Facebook during the FarmVille craze….drove my wife insane
How could I double check this? Funny thing is as I have OBS on right now I can see the people tlaking in my chat
I am not running as admin, I'm on a Mac so I'd have to go through the command prompt and root menu for that. I was hoping there was a different way lol
Ohhhh
A Mac…..
Ummmm well poo
That’s gonna be a question for elgato…
I don't believe I'm running the 4k utility; I'm capped at like 1080 anyway.
Well, the elgato runs wonderfully. I can use it in other programs just not obs
Are you running game capture when you’re running obs?
And I ask them, they sent me here lol
So you’re partially connected to twitch?
Lol ok.
I've tried it with game capture and without
Plus I can go to twitch.com aswell
Are you connected to twitch via stream key or did you click the connect to twitch button?
Connected through account
Can you disconnect and reconnect in obs settings > stream
Done
This will sound silly, but if you connect it to a different USB port, then launch obs, does it show?
Not in obslive :/
Can you do me a favor and download obs studio from obsproject.com and install vanilla obs and try it there?
Yert. Standby
Still no go?
Nope
I am in my own Discord right now, if you could reply to my message or tag me separately I will respond immediately, cheers
anyone know why my obs freezes in the middle of the stream? this causes the stream to stop and you have to force close the obs
Are there any OBS plugins that mess with my stream or allow things to popup if people spend channel points?
Triggerfyre
@kindred fox Any word from your second/third opinions?
Nothing yet
heya, any help with this? :o
I've got an additional thing, I can't seem to load any players either. I can't watch any streams but everything else works. Youtube Discord etc. Different browsers also won't play Twitch
not sure if support missed my message ^.^
Check for malware or if antivirus is blocking it
Checked malware, I don't use antivirus or Defender
Even checked router settings for firewall stuff
I would use the network troubleshooter in windows and see if it finds something
It didn't find anything
whenever i past the overlay URL it doesn't show on OBS. Why?
how to pull up stream elements preview to see chat? the right side?
Top menu > StreamElements > OBS.Live docks > enable the chat there. You probably closed the chat dock window.
Thank you!!!
is there a survey for a gift card? i got an email but dont want to click links
@rugged quail who was the email ffrom?

okies thank you for the help!
Hey Guys, Do you know if it's a bug that I can't disable FrankerFacez as a chat add-on in "OBS live"? I only chose BetterTTV in my add-on settings but I see both activated in my chat-box...
Hey guys, not sure this is the right place for this question. I'm trying to attach my Trovo account to SE, but it's saying it's already claimed. Any idea how to undo that?

Not sure if this is the right place for this but I'm having trouble being able to get the game audio output as well as my usb microphone audio input from my ps remote play sessions to appear in recordings via OBS.Live simultaneously. If I can get the USB mic to be picked up there is no output audio from the speakers and when I try to establish an Audio Output Capture source (to hopefully connect to the audio source on my computer) it says "Device not selected or available" under the device selection menu beneath the main screen and no selections are at all available to make under preferences for the Audio Output source at all. Any assistance would be appreciated.
hello, last night steam starts and can't be stopped. I have changed the password, the transmission key, rebooted the pc, uninstalled and installed the obs ...
Hello! I'm having trouble with the custom chat bot, after connecting the account it doesnt work at all, I've even tried to disconnect it to just use the normal stream elements one but it hasnt helped 😦
@gusty zephyr ⤵️
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
send test message does nothing 😦
I need help. i deleted streamelents bot by accident and now none of my commands are working and i cant get the bot to come back?

Go to the Dashboard > Right side > Part channel > Join channel (https://streamelements.com/dashboard) https://i.imgur.com/uYVb8OK.png
Tried that, no luck still
how do i open the dock to change my twitch tittle?
make sure you're logged into twitch in settings > stream and then go to view > docks > stream information
were you using a custom name for the bot?
why is the audio channel for game capture not showing? it shows for every other source when i unmute it, such as elgato
for what its worth i can't find my mic volume mixer either
ive tried what was given but it still doesnt work, the custom bot is in the chat but it doesnt do any commands or do any test message
go to settings > audio and select your main desktop audio device
can you screenshot the console after step 6?
and did you re-add the custom bot account aafter that?
yes
id save, then send a test message
nothing , also none of the commands send
i even have the second account as well as stremelements as a mod
does it work if you switch back to streamelements?
can you try typing /unban streamelements in your chat?
Nope I deleted it because it wouldn't stop spamming a command and now I can't re add it so none of my commands work
why's my obs.live slow again? i have OBS set to run as administrator and it was faster the other day but now it's slow again

What slow behavior are you seeing with OBS?
slow to use anything OBS.live related
like i said, setting obs to run as administrator fixed it... for like one day. now it's abysmally sluggish again
Is there a way I can make it run faster again?
heya, is there a way to link multiple platforms to the Alert Feed from the stream elements pluggin? I have it configured for twitch currently, I'd like to set it up for Facebook and YouTube as well
Still need help with sluggishness on OBS.Live. Yes I am running OBS as administrator, yes it was fast yesterday. Now it’s not
Can you run through what's specifically acting sluggish?
The alerts only play from one platform at a time, they cannot be linked through the same overlay
all the obs.live panels - stream information, activity feed, and chat
and cloud backups
yesterday it all loaded within seconds
i managed to fix it! all i did was go to the dashboard and log out, then logged in and told the bot to join the chat again
how do i switch from streaming to youtube to twitch I stream on both but different content now im stuck going to youtube
i just recently came from streamlabs obs to streamelements and on streamlabs i get a steady 60fps on a 6000 bitrate on 1920x1080 - 1600x900 but on stream elements im getting max 40fps and it keeps dropping to 20fps. i tried copying the same setting i had on streamlabs but i must be doing something wrong. any help?
most likely a setting or encoder setting
are you trying to stream to both or just one?
Do you see any slowness in other components?
just one at a time i used to just change the stream key and id be on twitch for my gameplay then switch it back to do my youtube lives for music just switched today and i cant figure out how to change it to twitch
go here in your settings and just login with your twitch
it'll correct that
Like changing the scene? No
Just anything to do with the OBS Live plug-in which is a pain if I want to change stream info before I go live
twitch recently updated everyones streamkeys which could be causing your issue
i did that and reset my pc its connected to my twitch i have the chat box and stream information docks but when i hit go live it pops up a start streaming to youtube
where does the "stream" service box say your connected to?
@pseudo hazel ⤵️
StreamElements menu, on top of OBS > Logout > Login
That will switch to your twitch se info
I feel like older versions of streamelements allowed you to fire up vanilla OBS from a menu selection, has that moved or was I hallucinating the whole thing?
any help on my obs not going over 30fps
basically want to be able to toggle back and forth between vanilla OBS and streamelements
Were you able to do a clean install by chance?
It's not pulling in the overlay that I'm selecting. One of the other overlays that's available for importing is coming over. I was able to import tipping and the alert box separately without issue.
heya does anyone know where the mute is coming from when you get this popup? on my other layers audio works fine, but this one just refuses to play any alert sounds
The alerts can be muted in the overlay editor (bottom right of the toolbar) or in the activity feed (top right bell icon)
you have saved me! yea i did somehow mute at somepoint in the activity feed, thank you!
do i need paypal or am i able to use anything else cause it won't let me set one up
up a PayPal
Why can’t you set up a PayPal account?
it wont send me the message to verify
It takes a while, check your junk folder too
on message's?
Oh it doesn’t send you the text message? Can’t help ya there. Paypal is the only option unless you qualify for SE.Pay
okay
@dapper igloo thank you
Having an issue with OBS.Live itself. The application seems to be stuttering, but the video and audio records fine, as this video is showing what's actually happening without itself freezing up. This stuttering also occurs with menus, like filters and transform
Are you using two different refresh rate monitors?
Question: Is there a way to combine a Latest Follower label and a Latest Subscriber label into the same label scrollings?
ie. Can I have one field that scrolls ' Latest Follower: {name} Latest Subscriber: {name}' together instead of two different scrolling labels?
Check #widget-share
Is there an easy way to search? Or just repost it there?
Hey all, so I use restream chat (Strictly to view chat across Twitch, Youtube and sometimes Facebook Gaming as I have my own stream RTMP/RTMPS server), so I got my Restream Chat on OBS here... My question is how can I get the Activity feed and Alert Boxes working for my Twitch AND Facebook Gaming in addition to the currently working Youtube Alert Box? Any help is greatly appreciated! I just want to be able to both be notified when someone follows on twitch, or subscribes on youtube both on stream, and on an activity feed. I'm currently signed in using the YouTube option on OBS.Live.
Add both overlays
You can make overlays that only contain the alert boxes for each platform specifically for restream streams
So should I have one overlay with three different alert boxes for each platform or are you saying three different overlays for each platform?
ah okay. and is there a way to view all the activity feed in one?
No….
Not that I know of
ah okay so no all in one activity feed cross-streaming platforms like streamlabs has at the moment then? All good. I appreciate the help I'll at least be able to get these three overlays for the 3 alert boxes setup!
You could do custom docks to pull in the chats
I am, but there's no difference in result when setting them both to the same refresh rate or their individual highest
Yeah i've actually already got Restream chat setup there for viewing the chat across the platforms. Just was curious if the activity feed could show each stream service platform vs just the one I sign in with.
If you disable preview does it stutter?
no, it does not
I wish. I think it’s on the list but not anytime soon
It’s the refresh rates
Make sure your refresh rates are 2:1 so 120:60
Or relative to 60
It will help
Hello. Who can help? The Save button in OBS Live under Media Request is not responding. I have already logged in and out but no response from the Save button there.
Is there a way to get the activity feed to swap profiles with me? i tried adding separate docks that SHOULD swap out with the profiles, but both of my profiles are twitch on two separate channels, and the docks have the exact same url so it just shows my main twitch feed...which defeats the purpose of my swapping my other alt twitch to obs.live/steamelements from streamlabs
Wdym? I haven’t installed OBS on this PC before a few weeks ago, unless you mean reinstall. I don’t wanna lose any of the scenes (which are in the cloud backup) or settings tho
Also I sent a reply to my email ticket and didn’t get a response, about importing data.xlsx . I was asking a follow up question
Hi guys is it posble to grandient colors text (latest donator)? i was using slobs and now trying to make the same. If i create a only a text yes is posble to gradient color. but if i try to createt latest donator or latest foloewer form streamelements i cant fiind gradient text
i want to do color gradient is it posble ?
Hi all, I just downloaded SE OBS and when I try to launch it I get the message "can not locate obs64.exe" Anyone know how to fix this?
So i'm trying to live on Youtube using both OBS 27.1.3 and OBS 27.0.1 with obslive plugin.
but my chat seems broken, When I use the Default Start Stream button, the Chat Window is flickering. but if I use the Live Video Settings button on Chat Window, the OBS just crashed.
Do i need a particular OBS version? or there's other problems?
the flickering: https://i.imgur.com/HcfI542.gif
already tried to reinstall everything, and try to downgrade from 27.1.3 to 27.0.1 but still like this
The Chat overlay also doesn't work
Is there a way to use obs.live and restream with OBS? I stream to FB & Youtube but when I login to obs.live with my linked account (in this case youtube) it always defaults to go live only on youtube. Essentially overridng my restream.io selection in the settings
The media share volume control for the first video in the queue is always low and you have to either click the mute/unmute button once to return the volume to the correct level OR click the volume fader once.
The good news is that the media share bugs are starting to get fixed....but still needs some work to get it back to where it used to be
Thank you for your work on fixing these bugs. They are VERY critical to my stream.
im having trouble uploading and getting the right size overlays in obs
every time i launch OBS, media request widget looks like this. i have to click on it for it to work. and every time i do that, this window change places on my screen, and i have to drag it into his place which is super annoying. any ideas?
Someone able to help me? i moved over from streamlabs obs to streamelements. Now my alerts are looking REALLY weird.
And this is how it looks on streamlabs.
Is your browser source 1920x1080?
I did it now. I just copied the settings from streamlabs. But done it, However i will have to manually adjust it since its to bulky now :p
Doesnt seem optimal yet. How do i change this?
I think you have to duplicate the widget to a blank overlay if it doesn’t adjust in that overlay
I had someone with this issue the other day and once they duplicated the widget to a new overlay it worked correctly
im sorry this aint working.
Is it the image being distorted still?
i got it fixed, but i have to adjust the text size and set it correct on every alert
anyway to make obs.live and restream play nice?
how can i activate chat?
You can add the bot to your channel by going in through the dashboard and joining the channel on the right hand side.
Is there a way to have my whole overlay imported in the editor to add for example stream labels and have them in the right position etc? Or do i have to manually add ‘recent sub- recent dono-…’
Are you importing the overlay from another service? We do have some import options, it just depends on where the overlay is coming from
I mean the file itself to make a whole ‘scene’. So i know where my labels has to come around my webcam (it is animated webm file).
hi, i cant seem to find my scene transitions
hello.. need help.. i cant seem to make my alert work.. can someone help me?
Hi! I've just created all of my alerts and put the source into my OBS. When I test out an alerts, I hear the sound but don't see the image and text. I've already unchecked "Enable Browser Source Hardware Acceleration" in my settings of OBS, but that didn't work. The source is also the top in the list, so nothing is over it. Any idea how to make my alerts show up instead of only hearing the sound? 😇
Im having that same issue but now sound lol
@stray magnet ⤵️
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
Greetings All, I just switched over from streamlabs to StreamElements. So far, I am really impressed. Easy to set up and use. I do have a quick question. For Chat bot, Timers, I have a message that contains a web link, but I do not want it to be picked up as one after I Save. Does anyone know if there is a way to make the Messages not convert what may appear as a weblink?
Is this a common issue? I cannot use SE.Pay because setup fails on Firefox and Chrome.
this means alerts and other things do not work as well
which channel would be best for help with this issue?
@gloomy shuttle ⤵️
Please contact us via email for support with SE.Pay. You can use our contact form here: https://streamelements.com/contact Thank you.
I'm not sure I follow, where do you not want it to be picked up as a link?
there's no way to remove the hyperlink from twitch chat, the only way would be to not post it as a link, like replacing the dots with a something else
I think that is a good idea. Thanks!
is there a way to make obs.live tweet when you go live?
I need to do a hard reset for my custom bot name since it won't bind properly. Does anyone know how to do it. I can't remember
@solemn hornet ⤵️
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 have completed that process multiple times. But it won't bind the new name.

New to OBS? Here is a 4 step quick start guide https://obsproject.com/wiki/OBS-Studio-Quickstart
Want to learn even more? Here is an in-depth overview https://obsproject.com/wiki/OBS-Studio-Overview
Is there a way to for example have my webcam on my livestream and turned off during recording?
hello!!! I am having the weirdest problem and nobody i know can figure it out...when im in OBS i can't hear the music tracks i have playing in each source. BUT i can see that the sound meter is picking it up AND when i do a test recording and play back the recording i can hear it in the play back. When i'm streaming my followers say they can hear the music but i cannot. i also cannot hear when my sound alerts pop up from soundalerts.com. same as the media sounds i can see obs is picking it up and the icon even pops up on stream but i cant hear it. i think i have tried everything to fix this and im stumped. this started a few days ago at first when i switch from slots last saturday everything was working great and i could hear the songs. I've tried replacing the media source, checking my audio is on my headphones, and even switching the files in the advanced settings to monitor off-monitor muted- ect. nothing seems to be working and its driving me crazy....please halpppp
I was about to post the same thing. I've had chat members spend Bits to jumpscare me and it is playing on the stream, but I am hearing nothing and haven't for a few days and it is annoying them because they are obviously spending money to do it. I have tried changing the monitor to off and then back to monitor and output, but it isn't remedying the problem. It is happening for my mic, shout out clips and sound alerts
i actually stop pulling up my sound alerts in my browser so people didnt waste their bitties. Has you tried doing a test recording and playing it back? can you hear the test alert in the play back? this has been happening to me since monday afternoon and everything works great Sunday night.
I switched them all off. It works on the playback, but I can't hear a thing. It's exactly the same as you
this must be and obs issue. i was thinking my headphones were starting to crap out on me but if other are experiencing the same issue that's crazy.
I cant stream any game because the source :game capture does not work.
Neither does the Video capture device
Hiya i cant seem to launch the streamelemets obs, i cant find it :/ i tried reinstalling multiple times but cant seem to find it in the program files and the shortcut is just an icon and not an application.
I'm getting this error for when I try and record with streamelements, livestreaming works fine but not the recording
You might want to change the encoder in the recording settings and test it. I would always recommend falling back to the "x264" encoder when you have issues like that.
You mean streaming settings or is there another tab for recordings?
Try to switch that to the Advanced view and check the Recording settings
Awesome it works!! Thank you so much 😊
Hello, recently i've noticed a few things with the Media Request tool on OBSlive, basically the amount of "skip" votes doesn't seem to matter anymore, it just skips after one person types !skip. the queue will auto play if the media is "showing on stream". when it's not showing on stream and a media ends, the next media ques up but it doesn't "play" it stays there paused until it's manually played or done by command to resume. Also, when skip voting is set for "VIPs" it means only the first skip vote must be done by a VIP but anyone can vote after instead of only VIPs being able to vote. Is there anything I can do to fix any of these for now?
i cant put my paypal in and the other stuff because it disabpear
Hi. Where do you try to enter your PayPal data?
hello, is it possible to remove an audio source from desktop audio? i like to watch crap while playing, and i'm wondering if it's possible to mute my media player but leave game/voice chat
or is the only way to add separate audio sources for each of them and disable desktop audio

Eh. Where did you get that error?
Does not look like our site design
While registering on obsproject.com, from the link above
This is strange. Would check with OBS Project support
i have another email, it worked fine
just... weird af
Now that I'm logged in, I get this 😐
Not sure about that since this is the service from OBS Project
@cedar robin ⤵️
Obs.live is a plugin for OBS Studio for the best OBS support, please join their Official Discord @ https://discord.gg/obsproject
Would recommend joining that discord^ and ask about it.
am about to, much appreciated
sorry for the ping btw, but i thought it might concern you(or the server idk), they told me that a lot of the articles got pulled from the website and rewritten, so some of it might not be available(on the same link), and regarding my question, they recommended this https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/win-capture-audio.1338/(just for future reference if someone asks)
Yeah this is normal that articles get reworked as the tools get updated. That one is looking good 🙂
perhaps your account has advanced permissions basic users lack?
Where?
on the website, https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/8/
The OBS project it a separate service, not related to us closely. We have a plugin for their OBS Studio client, but no special permissions.
then i have absolutely no idea why it's not letting me view the page 😅
This is why you have to ask in the linked discord, this is not our website anymore so we have no idea.
hey, do NOT click that link y'all
can a mod or admin purge that message above with the nitro scam and ban the user please?
is there a way to install a previous version of the obs.live? my friend has Mohave 14, and this latest build is requiring Mohave 15 but they cant upgrade their computer to it
Hello, I was trying to get a custom name feature for my stream elements bot but i came across this "If you are using Ground Control and want the custom name feature to be enabled for you on it,"
hi, not sure where this question would go, but is there a way to separate desktop and mic audio, but have it so that i can hear myself?
Hello everyone, been having issues adding my custom bot account. When i follow the troubleshooting and try to go to the localhost:40404 site it cant be reached, and it doesnt work with other provided url. Any thoughts?
Oh snap i figured it out, i wasnt opening the obs shortcut with the debug port command in the target.
Does the streamelements chatbot support quotes? I imported my data from the Streamlabs chatbot but idk where to find my quotes

I do not. I was just curious as to if there was an archive of previous builds for public access to see if one would work
we do have quotes but we don't have a UI for them yet, you can use !quote add/del/#
I don't think we have them publicly but we can request one to our devs
I've asked our devs for an older installer, we will get back to you with more info 😄
So the ones I imported are still there?
it depends on the import method you used, the extension doesn't import quotes but you'll have them if you used the .xlsx file
I used the xlsx file
you can test using !quote 1, !quote 2, etc
I’ll test when I can
I'm attempting to import a scene from StreamLabs to StreamElements but it's just stuck on 0%, any idea why?
it can happen that files are too big to be imported
Will I have to just manually remake the scene again if that's the case?
or remove those big files before importing them
I'll give that a try, thanks!
Is there a way to pull the Last Follower value from Widget Data into a display frame by reference? I imported a scene from SLOBS and in OBS Live it is now static and displaying a latest follower from 1 month ago.
you can check the information that is showed on the labels here: https://streamelements.com/dashboard/session
hello i have a small problem i use a twitch chat widget straight from Streamelements widget creater and for some reason it just randomly stops picking up chat, and im not sure why i have to constantly be refreshing the cache to make it work and its becoming frustrating
Can someone help me out? My SE overlay keeps blacking out and only displaying text.
Hi. Can you try to refresh the cache of the browser source?
I can. And It solves it for 5-10 minutes, and then it blacks out again. It’s like the graphics stop looping, but it’s set to loop in the overlay editor. Text is always visible.
This is interesting. Can you keep the overlay open in a browser and see if the issue can be replicated there?
It’s only happening in obs.
Does it affect just one overlay or multiple?
Only my intermission. Even tried deleted and re adding the browser source. Makes no difference.
Is there a way to have for example my webcam only visible in my livestream (even when i press record while i am live?)
There is not unfortunately.... yet.
Okiedokie thankyou !
Have a great weekend
Hello,
any idea why I have high fps drops when Im playing music using Firefox browser from mediarequest page? https://streamelements.com/dashboard/mediarequest/general
Not directly from OBS plugin because I don't want songrequest to be on my VOD. Any solutions? FPS drops are really high + they're not stable. Only happen when I listen to music from that page
hello all. can anyone help me with an audio issue i'm having with OBS?
My stream has been working amazing and today, my stream elements has been dropping frames and bitrate like crazy. Any help would be appreciated.
@faint rapids ⤵️
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'm trying to set the time to my local time with the time command in the #command-share but i'm not sure how to edit it to say my local time any help? thanks
@rugged quail Click the notes link at the bottom of the post.
Hello there, dear doggos! How are you? I was trying to go live, but an error suddenly appeared and all the music isnt showing on stream anymore. Tried to restart the program, but everytime i click on "Show on Stream" it doesnt work anymore.
Hey
do you have the media request widget added to the overlay?
Hello dear duck! Yes i have, ive been using media request from streamelements on the last 10 lives now, and the error suddenly appeared when i clicked to go live today. Now its back to normal, but im afraid to happen again when i go live. When i went to the overlay editor before, that scene right there was transparent. Now that is back to normal, the video is appearing. Is there any reason that that could have happened?
If it happens again it is usually resolved by logging out and logging back in at StreamElements menu, on top of OBS > Logout > Login
or Right click on the BrowserSource > Properties > Scroll down a bit > Refresh cache of current page
Ookie dookie! Ill do it next time. Something that i may mention, is that i have two sources with the same widget/overlay/link from media request, but one of them have a gain filter. I use it for, everytime i change from a "Streaming Layout" to a "Be Right Back Layout" the song get its volume raised automatically. Ill try to leave just one source and raise it manually when i change scenes
This is the only way i found to automatically raise the volume of the media request when i change scenes, idk if there is another way too
So I initially logged into with my youtube first to test quality features since I don't have followers there and I have to wait 24 hours before thats accepted so I tried just doing it with twitch however now every time I switch and hit start streaming it tries streaming to youtube

im having trouble setting up custom overlays through streamelments and obs, can someone please help?
Hey all! Finally making the switch from SLOBS to OBS. Having some issues with the Alert Box (I think). When I emulate a follow/sub etc in the browser, should it be showing up on my OBS Live client? I've gotten other browser source overlays to show up within the client but I can't tell if my alert box is working or not. Any help is appreciated!
alerts confusing me. keep getting told to use links to put them on my obs.live but not how to use them
@summer whale ⤵️
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
@stable token same thing as this ^^^
I set it up like all my other browser sources in OBS live but whenever I "emulate" a follow etc in the streamelements browser on Chrome, it doesn't show up on my OBS client. Is that supposed to happen? I feel like if it's a browser source, I should be seeing it whenever I do a test emulation
It's the only browser source that's not working for me. Think it might be because I imported it to streamelements from SLOBS? Might just have to start the alert box over from scratch for it to work.
Anyone know why I'm getting this error? sometimes it says encoding error and sometimes everything on my monitors turns gray or black or freeze an sound is still on for few minutes until it freezes all and I can't do anything until I physically restart my pc by pressing the button on the case
Hello! I would like to get some help with my overlays. Thank you

try changing your encoder in your stream output settings
NVIDIA NVENC H.264 (new) that is what I am using, does that mean my GPU is dying if it crashes games and screen frezees and go dark?
not sure if dying but it's more certainly related to the gpu, you can try updating/downgrading your drivers
I got the latest but I assume others would have the same issue if that was the cause, as I tried to stream when playing both League and Halo infinite for some reason Back 4 Blood was fine until i changed to League
you can try using x264 and see if that temporarily fixes it
Hello! Quick question, is BTTV/FFZ-emotes supported in the SE live-chat widget?
they are 😄
Hm, I can't get mine to work, they wont show up in the chat box, only the text
While they work using other non-SE browser-sources, am I missing something?

5df95f04115ba55afe6c5d1e
I see the gif on my screen, can you check now after reloading the overlay editor?
use !emotes update and !emotes refresh in your chat
Hm, still does not seem to work
I can't get the Channel Point Widget to work while I'm streaming. It will emulate in the overlay editor, and while I do that it will pop up in my OBS but actually during a stream, the alerts don't go off. I've tried refreshing the chache and re-entering the url in the browser source, but for two streams it hasn't worked.
which channel point widget are you referring to?
this one
can you try redeeming an item now?
when I go into Emulate under the overlay editor, every time I click "Item Redemption" In that list nothing happens
that's a different emulation, these are for store items, not channel point redemptions
you'll have to do a real redemption
or emulate within the widget itself
you can't redeem channel points offline, but when I try it within the widget while I'm offline it works fine. That's the issue I'm having. I can emulate it offline, but it doesn't work live
updated to newest version of streamelements OBS and its just stock obs now
hello everyone, can i ask something? can kumu app be used at obslive?

im trying to switch to OBS with obs live btw^
Anyone know why the media request will sometimes not autoplay using the backup playlist?
Hi all! Hope this is the right channel. I have a text bot set up to display several things like last follower, last sub etc, but I can't get the gifted subs to work. I want it to display PERSON - # of gifted subs, but what I get is PERSON - # of months subbed. What do I need to change? "Last Sub Gifter: {sender} - {amount}"
Hello I have a question on why the latest follower file is not updating when someone new follows
Hey Guys, weird question. My Stream Elements options have disappeared from my OBS settings. I was wondering if there's a way I can get it back?
Hey, I have the browsersource with my alertbox. It's the same url but it doens't work. Same for the last follow, last subscribe etc...

Twitch login issues, we are investigating - but in that case we would need to wait for Twitch to fix it
does anyone else have the issue that when pressing go live atm you are not actually live, even though the vod is building up and it is saying that i am live in the stream manager ?
had issues yesterday with twitch aswell
belgium location
I had that issue, I think Cryonic is right. You can try to go live on the software but it doesn't actually go live on Twitch.
yeah it is really annoying 😦 i replaced my stream key but that didnt seem to work
As it looks. the problem is on the part of Twitch
dang it twitch, second day in a row i have issues because of them 
Here's a strange one... I just finished my stream, closed down all my open software... but Twitch still thinks I am streaming... the timer is still running... even rebooted my machine, its still running... and showing me as live...
Might be related to the Twitch login issues
dang, gonna try picking a server manually , maybe that works
I would recommend to wait for them to fix it
I see others posting about that on Twitter at the moment as well, it's likely related to whatever is going on with Twitch. :(
i'm gonna log out and log back in
I'm experiencing this now, glad that I'm not the only one
i hope they fix it fast, no news on the issue on twitter 😦
Is something up with twitch today or something?
Yep Twitch login not working
OK, logging out and then back in solved it... Keep trying to log back in it will work eventualy
Streamelements web page is also working now
fixed for me aswell! happy streaming!
when changing the bots name to my own, it wont appear in my chat with any commands or when i click the "send test message"
@sage mango ⤵️
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
Not quite what I mean. Normally, the bot is selected to the StreamElements section but whenever I want to change it to my own name using the "Change to "TwitchName" The commands no longer work and the test message doesnt appear
Not a custom name, but my own one.
This is still considered a custom name, because it replaces the default StreamElements name
So you can try the steps above
But once clicking the "Change to "My Twitch Name" There isnt a "Connect custom bot account" option
just a "send test message" one
hello guys, how are you today? i have a problem with the connection obs live and chatbot, i try to put the Websocket and is not in tools, i am doing something wrong? Btw in OBS studio works fine, thank you in advance

Hi, I'm currently using OBS' microphone monitoring as mic input for Discord so I could use the filters. I also want OBS to have separate audio control in the mixer for discord. I have the virtual cable set up but since discord is already using monitoring how do i hear discord?
like that @toxic fern ?
the Issue thing?
No. From your screenshot
Promise pending I believe.
As long as it says that you can ccontinue the steps.
not saying nothing
Click the > and screenshot again.
i cant click it, dont allow me
You hit enter after typing that?
i dont understand i follow the step exactly
i try to uninstall and install again the program
neither the Localhost:40404 works or the "127.0.0.1:40404"
Why is OBS.Live required for certain features like a custom bot name?
Because the renaming of the bot requires a local client and this is what OBS.Live is doing in that case. Same with Elgato Streamdeck - if you want the additional functionality - you need to use the OBS.Live client
My alert was playing double. No duiplicate source in the scene. I use the same alert in multiple scenes though. When I do a test alert it does not echo/double but when I was live when someone gifted or followed it would echo. Do I need to have the "shut down source when not visible box" checked if I am using it in multiple scenes?
hello!!! I am having the weirdest problem and nobody i know can figure it out...when im in OBS i can't hear the music tracks i have playing in each source. BUT i can see that the sound meter is picking it up AND when i do a test recording and play back the recording i can hear it in the play back. When i'm streaming my followers say they can hear the music but i cannot. i also cannot hear when my sound alerts pop up from soundalerts.com. same as the media sounds i can see obs is picking it up and the icon even pops up on stream but i cant hear it. i think i have tried everything to fix this and im stumped. this started a few days ago at first when i switch from slots last Saturday everything was working great and i could hear the songs. I've tried replacing the media source, checking my audio is on my headphones, and even switching the files in the advanced settings to monitor off-monitor muted- ect. nothing seems to be working and its driving me crazy....please halpppp.... i posted this on the 25th and nobody has suggested help.
The OBS desktop audio has to be the same as your headphones out etc.
right....in the advanced sound settings my desktop udio and media source is both the same. right now they are both monitor and output but ive tried switching them to monitor only as well and i still can hear anything.
Try to disable the monitor function for all audio sources
just use the default audio settings
can you walk me through that so i dont screw anything else up? lol
my stream treats notification and stream element sounds come through perfect though.
Click on the advanced audio settings for each source and check if "monitor" is enabled there
please disable that feature
so select monitor off on all but the desktop sound?
bump
@toxic fern all is ok, it works my friend, thank you for your support and your time.
I reinstall the obs and done!!!!
All including desktop sound. And then test it
just to make sure im understanding..... under advanced audio setting. All sounds need to be on the same selected audio monitoring? in example monitor and output, monitor only ( mute output) and monitor off. right now i have sounds on monitor and output and still cant hear my songs or my sound alerts but can hear everything else. but when i do a recoring and play it back i CAN hear it. i have tried every sound setting and still can't hear it until i play back the recording.
how do i get rid of some of these mixers?
You have advanced audio settings set up with "monitoring" for some sources - please disable those
can anyone help me figure out a small issue im having with my obs
starting soon is still there
Please check the browser source advanced audio settings
My alert was playing double. No duiplicate source in the scene. I use the same alert in multiple scenes though. When I do a test alert it does not echo/double but when I was live when someone gifted or followed it would echo. Do I need to have the "shut down source when not visible box" checked if I am using it in multiple scenes? The Live alert echos just to put that out there. None of the tests do.
It is a file.
Then you need to check advanced audio settings
For that exact source
Yes i did that. and then i come across the picture above.
lol i can just right click and press hide. nevermind
good enough for me hehe. as long as it was not showing anymore 🙂 thank u!
🙂
still having issues.
why is it i can hear other things but cant hear songs or sound alerts? it makes no sense. i feel like i need someone to look over my obs in a video discord call or something.
Yes. We can give you a stable release link
is there a way to import my pre-existing overlay to StreamElement's overlays on the website? I need an easier way of adding a chatbox to my stream without all the guesswork and stuff like that (i didn't know where to ask this)
I would be grateful 😀
One stable release link for you 🙂
Thanks
All our import tools are located here:

And in OBS.Live if you use it
I don't know if I worded my question correctly my bad. When I go to create a chat box overlay for my stream to be on screen. It's cut off or keeps changing sizes when I click the source. I have to drag the source around in the Overlay editor to the top left for it be somewhat visible but that requires a lot of guess work. So I guess what I'm saying is Is there a way to bring my existing overlay I have in OBS to the Overlay Editor to edit more easily?
That depends on the overlay you currently have. What is it? It should be the chat widget from our overlays, right?
(yes it is the chat widget from the editor)
Well i switched from SLOBS to OBS and I am using my pre-existing overlay from Nerd or Die called Glitch. I made a couple of modifications, it's a static image. My current work around is to go full screen and take a screenshot to then add the chat widget in there via overlay editor while being able to see the overlay itself. I was wondering if there's a way to just put that overlay in the editor itself without having to screenshot and lose quality.
Basically If I don't have my overlay in the editor and I attempt to create a chat box via browser source it will appear cut off or won't show at all until i move the chat box in the editor to the top left and just deal with a lot of guess and check issues.
All nerd or die overlays should have a streamelements quick import file
From there you can add the chat widget into the overlay editor
any idea where to check for that?
Re-download your overlay from nerd or die
I used SLOBS to get the overlay, I might just have to get a whole new overlay which I'd be fine with but It'd take a bit more work.
If you own a nerd or die overlay there should be a purchase record
It came from the SLOBS Theme picker not directly from NoD. I assume it wouldn't be "owned" by me if I did that
I should probably just get a new overlay just for ease of editing in the overlay editor. Just trying to get used to SE and the Editor. XD
I need my lawyer
Your using AOM?
AOM?
Advanced overlay maker
I think they grabbed glitch from slobs theme picker thingy
Which is OG NoD overlay
So I’m not sure how that would work to transfer
It won't carry over to SE. As it's apart of SL
Okay so it'd be best to just get a new overlay?
You could get glitch 2.0 from the website 😉
Yee. We have a black Friday sale going on
It’s better than 1.0
then that brings me back to the original question. Any way of importing that overlay into the editor so I can add things to it more easily? I can screenshot things if you need a visual explanation as Idk if i'm explaining it right :p
If you grab a new one on sale it will import straight in
oh from the SE site?
You can use one of the SE themed ones or you can grab glitch 2.0 from nerd or die on sale
Glitch 2.0 should have a “quick start” file that imports the overlay into your dashboard
so it'd just automatically go to the "My Overlays" section of the SE website?
Yes
It’s super slick
I have a couple nerd or die overlays
Double click the quick start streamelements file and boom. Done.
tysm for the explanation. It was annoying to guess where i should physically place the chat box in the overlay editor for it to show on stream.
The nice thing about streamelements overlays is that they’re designed to be added at 1920 x 1080 in obs
So they’re always gonna fit the canvas
So where you place something in the editor is where it will show in obs
I did originally do that with the chatbox but the text was so small and blurry which required me to "blow it up" for it to be visible :p
the browser source width and height in OBSLive?
Yes
when i do that it extends wayyyyyyyyyy off the preview screen on obslive
How big is your obs canvas?
any way to get the exact numbers or should I just screenshot?
yeah that's set the same
the red outline is where the "chatbox" overlay is and that's what happens when i set it to 1920x1080
Ctrl+F
okay well now it fits on the screen but it isn't showing up on obslive, it does work on the overlay editor though. so i'm a tad confused
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
try disabling hardware acceleration
didn't work, is there a specific place i need to set the chatbox in the overlay editor for it to show on the stream?
put everything into the overlay. all of the widgets exist within the overlay editor itself, so you only need a single browser source inside OBS
you know, i didn't think of that. I'm not gonna lie, i feel a bit slow now lol, I was up all night trying to get it to work
Streamlabs makes "widgets" for slobs, which are all individual browser sources, which eats CPU
streamelements overlays contain all the widgets so you only have a single browser source.
yeahhh I'm used to the old ways so I gotta get with StreamElement's ways xD It's easier than SL when you get used to it i'm sure though
it definitely is 😉
is there a list i can show my viewers about what commands they can use?
@daring relic the default !commands command
oh snap thank u 😄
So i got this for example. But in my chat it will show just ${user}. But if i look in the commands variable that is what i need to put in the command
!hug and @ the user.
Example !hug @sharp turret
So how do i put the command then?
#helpdesk-youtube message not 100% sure if the user variable works on YouTube
Oh alright, seems like that is a half year ago. Thank u 😄
Hey everybody, I'm new here and need a little help! I'm fairly new to streaming and am having a pretty basic issue that I'm hoping can be solved here. I downloaded an overlay (theme) that has places for new followers, subs, ect. My problem is I can't figure out how to get these to update in realtime during the stream. Do I somehow have to link info from Twitch to the overlay or into StreamElements so the info updates?

Hi! I am having trouble connecting a custom bot name. I have reset the session to be sure, the selected "Set custom bot name", clicked on "Connect custom bot account", then after I sign in and authorize it redirects back to OBS but nothing changes in the obslive window and the dropdown does not show my custom bot's name.
I have also tried switching the setting between saying "Streamelements" and my own name while resetting the session each time and still nothing.

hi. im running into a problem adding kappanga to my stream, when i make the overlay it doesnt play a test, when i add it to obs it doesnt work either.
YES!!! That worked! TYSM
Hello, i cant seem to figure out how to get my audio to be picked up, for some reason it only picks up the one from my webcam, i'm not really sure where to add my mic one or even sound from games
if you right click and go to properties and scroll down you can change from webcam to your mic
Add an audio input capture and then select your microphone in the properties window
Add it via the source?
Yes
Ohhh i see
Can anyone give me tips on how to set up soundtrack by twitch on obs live? Thank you in advance! 🙂
nvm just searched soundtrack in this chat, is it not recommended?
The recommendation for music is Pretzel.Rocks or StreamBeats
perfect ty!
im having an issue with obs
i can't capture my screen properly
it breaks the colors except for some
oh it doesn't even preview it properly
it previews a still of whatever is on screen before I go back to obs
but it captures my other monitor perfectly fine which is hdmi
and this one is display port idk if that makes any difference
do you have a guide for obs live on how to seperate discord audio form desktop audio
@split plaza @wintry magnet I might suggest reaching out in the OBS official discord as our plugin doesn't really adjust those settings

I see
oh it's the black screen problem apparently
Is this where I'd go to get help with editing a Theme?
What did you need help with?
So... I've figured out that the pale frames are supposed to be for my webcam outlines, that's fine, I guess. BUT... Since I have a 4:3 webcam, I wanted to repurpose the 16:9 frame to outline my entire screen. I can't resize it that far, apparently?
Secondly, I don't want my chat to be constrained to that purple square proportions. I'd rather it be long, like about 300 x 600, but I can't reshape it? Why can't I CTRL+Drag to disable contraints?
I want to use graphics that were designed for this theme. but in the case of the Chat background, i can't resize it to the shape I want, and I can't even duplicate it and overlap them to feign a longer image because there is a gradient applied to the image. (I tried and it looked.... off, is probably the nicest way I could put it.
And then not being able to resize the 16:9 frame to surround my screen, or even just where I will have my game screen, is just frustrating. The theme is SO CLOSE to what i want... but the tools I'm provided to finish it just don't want to work for me. >.<
Some of the parts here can likely be recreated to your liking, for example the chat background is likely just a flat image that can be made to your specifications and uploaded. Are there no adjustment options for it at all?
I can drag it to resize it, but the proportions are contrained to I can't make it a different shape.
There also appears to be some transparency to the chat background, just slightly, enough to be noticed, but I don't know how much % transparency it was designed with. So trying to recreate it with my own attempt is iffy at best. Just another reason I want to use a graphic that is designed for this theme.
The webcam frames are static sized to webcam sizes. I don’t think those assets are dynamic
can anyone help me? my obs keeps disconnecting and reconnecting when I'm trying to stream. normally i watch stream also on my phone to view my stream to make sure no lags and to make sure my screen is showing good. but now its saying im live in obs but not on twitch. not even showing my game play. please help
I kinda figured that out, but can't for the life of me understand WHY? I mean why can't I repurpose an asset to something else in a different size/configuration if I happen to want something that's not completely pre-packaged? I was always of the frame of mind that these themes should be an easy to use way to drop them in your stream and use as is... OR if you are so inclined, modify them as you see fit to make them more personalized for your own use. Makes no sense.
That's going to depend on your internet, I think. You are using bandwidth streaming, AND watching. So your phone might be eating up some of your bandwidth while you try to monitor your content. Is your phone separate from your network?
Another possibility is that internet in your area may be experiencing issues. (Comcast is terrible for me.)
no its not. im using the same wifi for my laptop as i am for my phone. i think i have suddenlink but when i game its fine and searching the web. its just when i try streaming it does that:/ and i been trying to stream for 2 days and its been like this.
maybe if i reset my internet? i havent tried that yet. but i reset my laptop and xbox
Router reset might help. Cable Modem too. But again, if it's Comcast, they just happen to be terribad.
Hit up a Broadbad test website to see what your bandwidth is like, currently. I'm assuming you've streamed before and had no issues with your current setup? There are settings somewhere that have to do with which streaming service server you are pointing at. Make sure you are going to the closest to your location. Occasionally, you may have to swap to the next closest. I'm in Tacoma, so i stream to the Twitch Seattle server, but sometimes need to go to the Portland server depending on network traffic.
Depends on what your internet type is like. Cable should be like 75Mb/s or more upload, and probably 10 Mb/s or a little higher, depending on the service you are buying.
If you have DSL, then it will be significantly slower than that. Can still get you ok service, but probably not the best for streaming.
I just looked up Suddenlink and you should be good, even if you are monitoring on the same network.
Do you know how to get to your output settings? Settings --> Output --> then look for Video Bitrate. I don't know the ideal settings table, but you should be able to get by with 2500-3000 Kbps. Hardware Encoder NVENC should be good as well, depending on your laptop specs. Also working from an SSD is in your best interests.
Yeah I never had a problem until now): I'll look into all that
How would I get this working on Linux? is there not a feature for that yet?
Probably need to use a Windows Emulator like Wine.
I don't think it would work that well with the linux-native version of OBS
That... might cause some issues then! yeah!
is there a way I can compile it, like with AUR packages?
Ok... so I've FINALLY created my own frame.... how do i import it to this theme?
Are you recording as you stream?
anyone know how to fix media request stopping after a song plays even though u have it linked to a playlist
Found it! This silly little Blue dot with a + symbol on it will let me add my own frame into the theme. OBSERVATION: Having this disconnected from the given UI with a completely different look and in the middle of the screen I'm editing gets it lost in clutter and I didn't even register it was there.
As I'm editing things, and moving them around in the layers, I'm looking to Add a new layer... but the control doesn't exist as part of the sidebar controls. As you can see from this image, the "Add" button is kinda lost in the screen. I think it would be advantageous to place this control at the top of the sidebar where I'm working with the controls. Just a suggestion, and probably in the wrong channel. >.>
We appreciate the updates and feedback, we do observe the channels for it
I don't think I am
What resolution are you streaming at?
I don't know🥺 or know how to check. I never had a problem for the past almost 2 years and now it's just not letting me stream well
Obs settings > video
I think
Hopefully I'm not misunderstanding how the overlays work, I'm using OBS Studio and StreamElements plugins/widgets, but what are the advantages to having my art assets/themed overlay uploaded to StreamElements' overlays versus imported into OBS Studio itself? Is it more lightweight if I load the images through the StreamElements' overlay? Or would it be smarter to have my high resolution art assets baked into my stream in OBS Studio itself and only have widgets pulled in through the plugin on top of it?
Depends on file size tbh. If you can export them in a small enough file size while keeping the detail, web is best. Every source you add to an active scene consumes ram/cpu resources, so ideally uploading them would provide the best performance.
That said, you can also store them locally and they will load “instantly” as they won’t require refreshing the browser source.
But you then have to weigh the performance hit (depending on your rig)
1920x1080
Thank you so much! It sounds like it'd be better to be pulled in through the web tbh with the way you're explaining it - I'll just have to make sure the quality is preserved enough in a test. My overlay in Streamlabs was always VERY heavy on my PC, high resolution/file size, so it sounds like using StreamElement's overlay is strategic in that respect. I'll run tests!
Ok. Your bitrate is way too low for 1920x1080. To stream to twitch at that resolution you need 5000-6000 bitrate. I’d recommend testing with the following settings:
Base canvas: 1920x1080
Output scaled: 1280x720
bitrate: 3500
Also do you have a dedicated graphics card or are you on a laptop?
Glad to help. If you have any other questions feel free to stop back!
Hello, I am setting up my obslive. After I choose the continue setup it just seems stuck there. Is there anything I could do that could be holding the process up?
Click do it later top right
Thanks! Would there be anything left for me to do? Or would I just get the option again?
Should be good
Awesome, thank you!
Ok I'll try that. And idk 😅 I have a lenovo flex 5. And I'm using a game capture card. I had no problem for almost 2 years.
Try it and see. Those settings work for just about anything
hi there! im having issues when I open stream my mic goes robotic in discord and my headset starts sounding staticky. I've ran stream with no problems before i tried opening it today
[11:31 PM]
Ive also uninstalled it and reinstalled it but it doesnt have issues with stream labs just stream elements
it only goes wonky when i open the stream elements up
It's still doing the same thing ):
It’s disconnecting from wifi or from twitch?
I think it's wifi.
Can you do me a favor and go into start menu > control panel > sound > mic properties > advanced tab > and disable allow exclusive control of device
Repeat for every audio device
What is your wifi speed test look like?
Your Download looks good, but that upload is terribad. Check your home network and then if all is well and good, talk to your ISP. Did you say you wre on WiFi? Any chance you can rerun that test while in the same room as the router?
did that and still same issue
Your upload is the issue
How many things do you have plugged into USB ports?
3 i think ive just never had this issue before over the last year
It’s almost like there’s something wrong with your USB ports
its fine in discord and in game just when i open stream elements it goes staticky
Any reason why OBS is using 40% GPU at idle? :c
Disable psycho visual tuning
And make sure all your browser sources are disabled when not visible
^File>Settings>Output>Psycho Visual Tuning checkbox btw @onyx sphinx
fixed it
it was my webcams being plugged into the same usb source area as my headset. no idea why but once i moved it away from my headset plug it was fine
headset is fixed mic is not
Odds are your USB ports are overloaded
Hey there, I'm having an issue going live on Twitch. OBS had previously been configured to stream on Youtube but I changed everything back in Settings but the StreamElements "Go Live on Youtube" box keeps popping up when I hit "Start Streaming". What am I missing?

hi to all ! i need som help for obs settings if its possible
Your ISP/modem/router is the issue
good afternoon im trying to connect my recent subs/followers to me obs.live but cant figure out how to do it please help
(FIXED, SEE EDIT)
Hey y'all I'm trying to connect my YT to OBS.live and the local login isn't working. The steps I take are as follows:
- I open OBS Studio
- I click the "Stream Elements" button at the top and select "Login"
- I select "YouTube" and browser window opens automatically, taking me to a Google Account login page
- I select the account I want to connect
- A new page loads, asking me "Would you like to give OBS.Live access to your channel "(my channel)"?" with the buttons "Cancel" and "Authenticate"
- I select "Authenticate", and a new page loads (screenshot attached), indicating that the connection failed
I have tried multiple browsers (Chrome and Edge), my VPN is turned off, and the port specified in step 6 changes every time I attempt to login. I thought about trying port forwarding but since the port changes on every attempt I can't know which one to forward. Is there anyhting I'm doing wrong or should change?
Pls help!!! TIA 🙂
EDIT: I am not sure exactly what the problem was, but I logged in to Twitch instead, logged out, then was successful in logging in to YouTube. If anyone knows why I had this issue that would be great lol but thank you all anyway!!!
pls help my obs is using 20gb of memory and sometimes crashes without streaming or recording.
on the OBS discord they told me its because of OBS.live could you pls help me? THANKS
may someone help me, recently I have been having alots of problems streaming, I don't know if it was the recent obs update, the recent gpu update maybe some weird configs I have put by mistake on obs or anything wrong on twitch or a combination of all, but my streams have a huge delay out of nowhere and sometimes streams just go down and I didn't even know it is down since on obs it tells me I am still streaming
I have 16gb memory, nvidia gtx 1660super and ryzen 5 3600, I only stream light games like genshin, league and the most heavy thing I streamed was new world, my internet also is pretty good and stable
do you guys have any idea what the problem is ?
Is it possible to run the custom bot account continue to work even when OBS is closed? I have bot commands running when I am not live, and would like it to still use my custom bot, not StreamElements. Is that even possible?
Hi, i have 2 questions.
Is there a way to remove the chat popping out after raiding someone.
And how do i get tiltify notifications in the obslive event feed?
can any one help me guys ?
@queen lion not possible. Has to be open.
You think it just randomly started getting overloaded? Like I said I’ve been running it for around a year but only recently had the problems. I updated my processor and power source and doing so I unplugged all my usbs
How do I enable the custom SE bot name from ground control?
And why do my host alerts not pop up in chat or overlay when only 1 viewer?
Ok thank you!
Changing to x264 did not help either, still getting the encoding error as soon as i press start stream
hello
i need some help with OBS studio
desktop audio stoped working
when i added streamelements
why does my tips goal say this much? shouldn't it reset to 0?
@hidden zephyr ⤵️
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.
Whenever I stream my streamelements animated overlays seem to lag when I'm in a game. I'm wondering why this is or if anyone knows how to fix it?
HEY how do i slow down the social ticker so its not alway looping
Hey so my OBS live won't update so im trying to uninstall and reinstall but no matter how many times I do it it wont uninstall
How do you get the preloaded activity feed to display updated activity from your twitch? My friend is logged in and it shows activity on their twitch. For me it just automatically synced but for him it hasn't
This is what @fading breach is talking about
Dropping a huge amount of frames and I’m not sure why. I have tried ending a lot of tasks in the background.
@ripe flint ⤵️
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.
Is there a way to install the "Live" plugin, without installing "OBS.Live" ? I already have a perfectly functioning, completely configured/setup in straight OBS. Basically im switching away from StreamLabs, and trying to get my Twitch stream going incorporating the functionality I had with them, here. Site keeps pressing me to install the live "plugin" but then appears to want me to install a second copy of OBS (ie OBS.Live). I didnt have to use SLOBs to use their other services. If I do not use the "LIVE" version, what am I losing out on?
I also use a number of OBS plugins, that I am not sure would work correctly with the "Live" version of OBS. Please advise.
I was wondering if theres a way to show who has entered into a giveaway as an Overlay?
i got it working now but now i cant hear my game audio when i stream DX
hey guys any reason why my game capture has just been a black screen lately? I tried both modes capturing specific windows and any full screen app but still only a blank screen any ideas?
my alerts are still not working
i have disconnected and reconnected my accounts
installed and uninstalled
i got my stuff set up mostly, but how do i know it'll work?
@solar raven ⤵️
Obs.live is a plugin for OBS Studio for the best OBS support, please join their Official Discord @ https://discord.gg/obsproject
you can test different things while offline, but the real test is obviously going to be your first stream
do all other things in your overlay work?
for a specific game?
I have no idea where this question would go, but im having issues with organizing my SE Store
Well I can stream on my Xbox, but I don’t know how to get my stream on pc working, I got my overlays working atm. But that’s it
go to streamlabs and copu the url link to obs
that would work, except we're Stream Elements 😛
nvm
Hi. For whatever reason, the SAVE button in SE's Media Request Manager in OBS is no longer responding. No matter what you change there, everything is ignored because no SAVE responds.
Nothing with streamelements works. I assume I messed something up in set up but just not catching it.
yes sorry for that 🙂
When having an overlay in OBS that has Media Request. Audio is echoed when the setting for the Browser Source "Control audio via OBS" is disabled. But when I have it enabled, the audio is fine but alert sounds don't come through desktop audio anymore. It goes through the browser sources audio in the audio mixer but not desktop audio so I can't hear it
This used to work but now something has changed
everything is fine when the video is playing but not showing on stream, but when I play it on stream the audio doubles up
Are you watching your stream on your computer?
So it is doubling audio inside obs?
Yep
When you added your overlays are any active in other scenes? Did you check the box to shutdown when not visible in the browser source properties?
There are other scenes with the media share that don't have that on. That would be it?
Lemme check
That was it! Thanks!
I thought the sources were meant to just mute when they're not being displayed anyways
But still not, like unloaded
Checking the box under the shutdown one will unload/reload on scene change
Ahhh okay cheers
idk what im doing wrong but when i go to start stream its showing the setup for youtube how do i change that to twitch

Not sure if this is the place, or what the issue might be, using an alerts overlay and the alert shows up on obs studio off center, I have a screen capture of itif you need to see what I'm talking about
Not sure if this is the right place to post, but the SE chatbot won't send test messages as anything but StreamElements. I used to have a custom bot name, and I've done the steps to set a custom name in OBS.live, but "send test message" is greyed out for anything but Streamelements.
Same here. I've scoured the net on how to fix the custom chat bot issue, and nothing seems to be working for me. I've taken to using the StreamElements bot instead, for now.

I tried this, and couldn't get either localhost to work
Do you have bind to ip set as something other than default in obs settings > advanced?
No
The above instructions should function as localhost is baked into every browser
anyone having an issue where the game/desktop audio is delayed on stream? it looks completely normal on the software but while watching on twitch there is a 2 second delay
I will try again when I get home, but they did not work when I tried earlier today
can anyone help? i accidentally closed a window that looked like this, how do i get it back?
Thank you! I kept getting stuck on part 4, but I finally got it. Thank you for the detailed explanation on the bot post. Much appreciated. 💜

Where is the stream elements menu?
Nvm
I've done all these steps, but can't get the custom bot to work
Will OBS.live allow us to use custom bot names for YouTube in the future?
I've having some trouble with the chat box turning white... How can I fix this?
I have tried this again, and still cannot connect to localhost
My suggestion would be to reinstall
reinstall obs.live or obs in general
Yes
My alerts arent showing up in obs studio when i try to emulate them 😦

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

On OBS Studio.
And in the overlay editor?
anyone able to help, ive made my bot part channel and re join, ive followed the steps given but still my streamelements bot no longer shows up in my chat and none of my streamelements commands work now
Overlay editor?
Where are these labels from?
Are you using a custom bot name?
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
What do you mean?
nope i deleted the bot because it kept spamming commands that i had deleted in my chat but now i cant re add it as a bot again so none of my commands work
What do you mean by "stream labels"?
Like, recent follower, recent sub.
Did you ban or mute it? If so, try /unban streamelements
thats brilliant thank you 🙂
I can't get them to show up at all.
This part is clear. However, At this point, I don't understand what you mean by "stream labels". Please help me understand.
That's what I meant, stream labels = Recent follower, recent sub, recent donator, top donator. That's what stream labels are.
Is that from StreamLabs? If so, then we can't support that and you should talk to them.
No, it's not. It's from Streamelements. Just forget I said stream labels.
Ok, then that means it's part of an overlay, and someone created it for you in the overlay editor.
Oh, that's what you meant. I actually made it myself in the Streamelements overlay editor.
Ok, make sure you did that:
@wise canyon ⤵️
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
It worked!
Good, I'm glad we figured it out. 😀
Is there anyway to show only one recent donator?
yes, there's a recent donator widget you can use
Can I only show one? Because on here, it forces me to show 2.
But it says recent tips, plural. I can't make it only one. I tried, but the default is 2.
lasest tipper, not recent tips
Is there no way to do one recent tipper?

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
i did that and it is still not working

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
Morning having trouble streaming to twitch. I use obs studio and it usually go live with no problems. But now I go live it stay I’m streaming but nothing happens on twitch. Uninstalled an reinstalled already
Hi. What error do you see when you try to start your stream?
No errors it stays I am streaming @nova scaffold I just thought no one like me to come into my stream the last two days
I would recommend changing the Twitch ingest server first and test it. If that does not help, we can take a look at the logs.
Nm it seems it decided to start working again after about three restarts of the pc.
I did that also that could of been the fix
Yeah most likely a connection issue to a specific server.
I tried so many times yesterday doing different fixes but I guess letting the pc sleep last night fixed it
Do you see the red square and the really low bandwith number next to it?
You have network issues somewhere.
If changing the Twitch ingest server does not help - please talk to your ISP.
@nova scaffold I’ll check that out
@nova scaffold wonder if I should go live then launch my game
But thanks for the help
How does one reset the top tipper, I did a test tip and it seems to not want to go away.
I set up StreamElements as a " Mainly YouTube" Account, and I restream to facebook, however I get more interaction in the chat from facebook, but I cannot see the comments in OBS, I want to login in SE in OBS thru Facebook, but after the login screen, it just has a white window, as if its loading, but it never loads... I have restarted OBS, I have restarted my computer, nothing so far, any ideas on how I can log into SE thru FB in OBS?
Hey, i have a problem with the notification board. when i get a new follower i dont hear any notification sound. can anyone help?
Hi, not sure if this is just a me issue or not but for some reason I can no longer use the Streamelements bot under my name in chat? I can get it to work as just "Streamelements", but when choosing my channel name it doesn't work (I use this for emotes, it seemed to work a week or so ago but doesn't now)

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
Thanks! Wasn't sure if it'd let me login with the same account but that worked ❤️
Hello if I use the overlay of stream elements in OBS and set the display as text of Last Follower and Last Subscriber so that the text moves from left to right, this is only possible in OBS as soon as I start the game the text is frozen
I've been having some trouble with the chat box turning white after it tries to connect... How can I fix this?
Anyone off guys using Streamlabs OBS
Hey guys quick question, my game capture stopped working today and only gives me a black screen when i choose a specific window to capture, any fixes
same here. Is there any filter settings for tts, or something else?
Hello! Is there a way to have my custom bot name (replaces StreamElements bot name in OBS.Live) continue after closing OBS? I have automated messages for follows, socials, etc. that are triggered off stream when OBS is closed and the generic StreamElements name is used if OBS/OBS.Live is closed. Forgive me if this is in the wrong channel or has been answered before. Thanks!
Hey, is there a way to put a background image when a game is not being captured by game capture?
OBS needs to be running for the custom name bot to work.
