Hi, what happens if i change my Facebook page name, and want to change my tip link and channel name to Facebook new page name?
I have a major issue if anyone can help. i cant get my comments in my live dash
sorry trying to make it visible
Hi im trying to connect my facebook group to obs live but when i try to set it up its saying that there are no available groups and only gives me an option to create a new page
It doesnt make any sense im admin of two facebook groups and neither of them are coming up as an option to link
As you can see I have had follow activity since Aug. 2nd. In neither StreamElements website or in OBS.Live has any further activity been reflected in my feed. Do I just need to delete my Streamelements account and remake it or what?
have you unlinked then relink the account through the webpage?
Like through Facebook.com directly?
If so yes. If you are referring to Streamelements website, I don't see how I could remove it
Outside of deleting my Streamelements account entirely, that is.
hit the double ticks it the web browser and on obs. im out of ideas
Hello! I just downloaded Obs live, I wanted to log in on Facebook, but I can't resize the pop up window, and to be able to proceed I have to resize it.
Is there any other way to log in?
What do you mean resize the popup window?
Give me a second i will take a screenshot
It literally says to resize the window to proceed with log in. But i cant resize in any way
And that pops up then yoy trt and login to obslive?
Yes, i just installed it. So i went to set up facebook settings, but i cant log in inside obslive cause of this resize problem
Oh, hi guys, i only have one monitor, and i'm using my phone at the moment for webcam, there's any way to see my chat and events without needing to keep alt-tabing out of the games?
@rapid nymph what is your monitors resolution?
@dusky furnace If you have one monitor and/or would like the chat overlay on screen, please look at the link below.
Please note this is not a plugin for OBS and not maintained by SE.
https://github.com/baffler/Transparent-Twitch-Chat-Overlay
4K, and i set the zoom option to 200% i reduced it to 125% and then i was able to log in.
So i solved like that! Thank you for your help!

Gonna try this one but since it's for facebook i guess it'll not work out
i managed to put my chat on it, but i need to login with facebook, and i can't write my info on it...
i'm trying to get the chat from streamelements into it
Oh yeah, it only work on twitch, even getting the custom url, so sad, there's no other method?
i got on for y'all i cant get my comments to show in my live dash. anyone no how to add it?
@foggy epoch Im not sure what I'm suppose to be looking at
We cannot help you with Facebook related stuff, meaning this channel is only for our own tools related to facebook streaming.
I purchased a OWN3D complete animation package and I need help setting it up.
cant live to facebook Live
@mellow osprey StreamElements on top of OBS > Logout > Login
@rose axle ask OWN3D for instructions on how to easily setup the overlay.
What I mean is, how each asset is used.
Thanks
Hey guys I just wanna ask if if there's a way to know that you're so delay in your live?
Hello, on the alert feed, if someone shares my stream more than once, it only shows one time. Is there a way to show in the alert feed all the share events from one person?
Hi I would like to ask why my page data (ex. recent follower, sharer) is not reflecting in streamelements. I've already log in using my facebook page.
pls help
@obtuse ibex Ditto.
Hi! I logged into facebook and linked the wrong page. Is there a way to unlink it?
Hi! When I'm live at facebook, my streamelements show that I'm offline, why? It's something that I did wrong? If someone give me stars, don't show in my alerts, but the test works.
Hey! How can i add a chatbot to work with facebook? I click on activate but it does nothing 😦
Hi, Somehow I have separated my facebook channel; from that for twitch and youtube. Its like a different account and it says its already linked. Not sure. I did facebook on phone and others on my pc?
I was also wondering if it was possible to have multiple overlays trigger separately in terms of widgets depending on what platform you are streaming to. For example if I use Restream, which I am.
@earnest goblet You should be able to just logout and log back in with the correct account
Am I allowed to post links in this channel to outside sources? I found a bot that works with Facebook Gaming Chat, but it’s in Open Beta right now, so they are still working out the kinks.
im having an issue where i want to go live to mobcrush, the key and the URL are correct. as soon as i hit start streaming i get the fb live pop up (pic 1) and then if i hit go live it changes my stream key to FB then i cant stream on twitch as well
StreamElements does not have multistreaming support. It is not designed to work with Mobcrush.
damn! they should look to doing what streamlabs did and integrate it into their software
As soon as you hit Affiliate on Twitch you can't use it anymore anyway 😛
i only stream on twitch so i can download it in better quality than facebook
Anyone having an issue where you’ll be midstream and OBS just stops pushing data to Facebook? Last night was the second time in the past 3 days where the bitrate dropped to zero and Facebook said broadcast interrupted. There was no alert for lost connection or OBS reconnecting. It just stops pushing data out. Now to try and emulate this to see if it was a internet issue with my pc or ISP I swapped to SLOBS and streamed to Twitch and no issues.
@peak burrow Dropped Frames means that you have a bad connection between your device and the streaming platform and most likely something related to your ISP not handling the connection properly.
Speed tests usually cannot help solve this problem and its best to use this guide: https://obsproject.com/wiki/Dropped-Frames-and-General-Connection-Issues
If you stream to twitch, use the !twitchtest command and do a connection test to your regional servers.
Hi - I do not have any stream activity on streamelements from facebook. Everything else appears to be working just not the alerts function
Is there a way I can see my viewer counts?
In the live dash you can see the viewer count
Can you take a screenshot?
Im using OBS Live
I dont see any viewer counts
Please help me set it up
@wise mural facebook API doesn't provide a viewers count
😔
Thank you
Is there an overlay that I can add for that?
I cant find any viewer counter for FB
@cobalt elk When I look at the activity log it shows nothing however i have plenty of activity. Its like for some reason stream elements is not getting information from FB. I ended up having to use SLOBS for the alert function which i completely do not like.
open creator studios on Fb and in the live dash tab youll be able to see your viewers
OBS studio NEW FOLLOWER ALERT not WORKING!!
@gilded spoke If you are not seeing likes/shares on your current stream or page, that might be due to how the privacy settings of the person liking/sharing your stream are set.
If they are set to private we won't be able to see the events.
Specifically for shares, if they share in private groups, we won't be able to see the event.
hello! need some assistance
@void yoke be sure to ask what you need assistance with so that one of our support heroes can help you out
No activity inside of StreamElements for stream likes/stars/subs/follows. Alerts are not working because of this. How can I fix this?
yeah the last thing my streamelements shows is from 2 days ago.
@gusty dew Go to Settings > Advance > Scroll to the bottom and Enable or Disable the Browser Source Hardware Acceleration box
@low plinth ty I will try this tomorrow I think i may have already fixed it but will double check
You're welcome @gusty dew , let me know how it goes!
Hi i am new and want to start streaming to facebook i was wondering if i can get some advice
Good Day! I am in need of merging the SE FB gaming page with my SE Twitch page.
@umbral river Account Merging - Please note:
- Merging accounts only allows faster ways to switch between accounts
- Merging accounts does not allow data sharing between accounts - different streaming platforms, different type of events
- Merging accounts allows duplicating/sharing overlays between the accounts
If you understand the limitations of merging and want to proceed, please find the JWT tokens (!jwt) from both accounts you want to merge and you will be directed to DM them to a staff member.
will do thank you
Im having an issue with dropped frames on my stream, but my obs.live is running smooth with 0 dropped frames. I was streaming one evening and at the drop of a hat my broadcast was interrupted. I havent been able to have a smooth stream through tests since. Any help and advice would be EXTREMELY appreciated. I’m officially stumped
Were you streaming a game or just webcam? and what platform was it for?
i stream warzone, never had issues until the other day, internet is 800+mbps. streaming on pc
@broken monolith Please provide a log from your last stream. To do this, in OBS go to Help > Log Files > Upload Last Log File and paste the link to the log file here.
hello! i had an experience yesterday wherein my chat window on streamelements obs became a facebook browser page. i couldnt see my chat messages because it's like it opened my facebook page on that window 😦 help would be appreciated
(maybe it has to do with the new fb layout?)

Hi
I have problems with streamelement on facebook.
My share stream alert didn't work.
And the count for like page did not match with the actual number of liked page.
Hi!, how to see the Facebook stream statistics in the obs??.
I’m using a RTSP feed and would like to use different presets for my PTZ camera. I’ve heard you can set these presets in the RTSP command, but can’t find much about it. Does anyone have experience with this or can provide some direction?
trying to add the rotating event label widget but im getting a platfom mismatch error? is this because im using FB instead of Twitch?
@void yoke That would probably be the case. Not all the widgets are multiplatform unfortunately.
Guys how do I put the alert when a streamer sends me viewers?
heyy all!! anyone having problem with ip cam ...
i doesnt work at all
after the last update
ip cam? @opaque zinc
Does anyone have this problem, when someone share my stream it doesnt show in activity feed and not alert. Please help.
Another alert, ie like, works fine.
@zinc gorge If you are not seeing likes/shares on your current stream or page, that might be due to how the privacy settings of the person liking/sharing your stream are set.
If they are set to private we won't be able to see the events.
Specifically for shares, if they share in private groups, we won't be able to see the event.
They share on thier profile as public.

Trying to stream to facebook...all of the sudden it won't go live. When I hit start streaming it doesn't prompt me with the usual "Title" and "Description of Stream" Tried replacing the stream key and everytihng....not working.
Please help...I was scheduled to go live and no NOTHING is working. This is entirely so frustrating.
Guys how do I put the alert when a streamer sends me viewers?
Do chatbots work the same on Facebook gaming as they do on Twitch? I'm very new and trying to figure this out? Which chatbot are you using for FB Gaming? Thank you!
@small nacelle We don't have a bot for FB as they don't provide a method for us to have one.
I'll stop looking for bots then, ha!! Thank you @quiet lagoon !
I copied this url from streamElement's overlays but it seemed to not get the whole overlay.
@hot hedge 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
@hot hedge The default resolution for StreamElements overlays (theme and custom) is 1920x1080. Please add them in OBS at their full resolution and use CTRL+F to fit to screen if necessary. You can then downscale your stream in OBS settings > Video if you'd like https://i.imgur.com/6bWXxjR.png
hello guys! i just want to ask something about the emulation on streamelements. when i click on the "emulate" it says emulation sent. but alerts are paused on activity feed.. what can i do about it? i want to test the Text to speech feature.
Hi need help when i want to test stream i am not able top anymore as stream elements instantly stream public. It never asks me if i want to use stream elements or manually setup it up on facebook?
Hi, I have a problem, I stream on facebook gaming using StreamChamps (iphone), and I activated the alerts on StreamElements, but when I start my stream the alerts doesn't work
Hi, I need some help, i was wondering if i used the edit tool on the streamelements website will the alerts show up in real time when i am streaming?
is there a way to see the live chat on facebook in obs live?
@sharp gyro Currently there is no way to see your chat in obs live.
gotcha okay thanks!
any idea why my likes and shares arent showing up in obs?
@deft karma If you are not seeing likes/shares on your current stream or page, that might be due to how the privacy settings of the person liking/sharing your stream are set.
If they are set to private we won't be able to see the events.
Specifically for shares, if they share in private groups, we won't be able to see the event.
they worked fine the day before yesterday?
what i mean is theyre showing up in obs but not in the activity feed
@deft karma Please ask your question in one helpdesk channel only. A support volunteer or StreamElements staff member will assist you as soon as they are available. Asking in multiple places will only result in confusion, not faster answers. Thank you for your patience.
I accidently made a different account rather than signing into my regular one. I removed stream elements from my facebook and when i try to connect it to my regular account it says the account has already been claimed. How can i link my Facebook to my original account at this point?

I'm trying to get the "Latest Supporter" box to work using the default Alertbox 29 widget. I'm unclear if it's from the "Stars" or "Supporters" data. And how I could make it show "stars" donations w/ Quantities?
"name" seems to show empty tho I see something in the session data; and I can't find a reference for the variable names to show count or whatever?
@pastel dragon Please provide your account ID found at the top of this page: https://streamelements.com/dashboard/account/channels This ID is public info and safe to share here.
@zealous shuttle 5f28a635a3e14c13df4ad7a3
@pastel dragon From what I see, you don't have any supporter to be shown on the latest supporter widget.
As for teh starts, {amount} should be fine to show the quantity of starts being received/given.
will try that, thanx @inland brook - Is there a reference for the names of those variables?
where you place the message part, usually there is a list under the actual field with the available variables
maybe I was confused, when I cloned the overlay, it had a star icon for the "latest supporters", but the field isn't actually stars, it's supporters? @inland brook
yes its latest supporter
as we believe a supporter is like a twitch subscriber
so both share the star icon
copy. ok - the alertbox29 widget doesn't have a field for stars?
alertbox29 is the name of the alert widget
I see that you've already setup a bit more custom images for the start alerts
so you should be fine in that manner
yeah, it's been an interesting few days of learning. 🙂 . hahaha
Quick question regarding alerts. I used the free themes for streamelements and the Alerts is not showing on OBS but if I emulate it in the editor, it shows up
@serene heron If you are not seeing likes/shares on your current stream or page, that might be due to how the privacy settings of the person liking/sharing your stream are set.

Hello and good morning! I connected my facebook with streamelements but it didn't populate any information and when stream, my alerts weren't working. I was wondering if you could help me out
Wondering if it's possible to use StreamElements without the Facebook Gaming account as the streams I am running (with OBS) aren't gaming related, but live stream to Facebook Live and YouTube.
Follower and Sharer alerts aren't working.
Account ID: 5f48a679f2918d19ab8e07ed
My Latest Follower Star Sender, Latest Share overlay is not updating. When a new follower follow my page i got the alert popping up but on my overlay i dont see the new name please help anyone
Hi Regarding the widget share. Why am i getting platform mismatch error everytime i click on the link?
@wanton raven Most of the widgets are made specifically for Twitch and won't work with Facebook.
There are some that shouldn't be Twitch specific because it is just something on the screen
but we get what we get lol
I would love to have this Save Game alert to pop up on my screen, but I can't lol cuz it's for Twitch only! https://youtu.be/Pt33K5nOh5g
Hi guys, i just joined and im sorry if im already committing some mistakes but can someone help me. The live preview or stream preview on the lower right side on facebook live says SORRY WE ARE HAVING TROUBLE PLAYING THIS VIDEO right after i press START STREAMING on OBS. I already tried many things, changed settings and reset stream key but still the same
Despite it saying that it was having trouble playing a video, i still pressed GO LIVE. Then the livestream would just be a blackscreen with the text (that goes something like) SORRY WE CANT PLAY THIS VIDEO
need help asap :(( thank you guys
Hi! I would like to know why Game Capture specific window is not working? (black screen)

my follow goal is not refreshing. it is stuck at a certain number. is there any refresh button?
This might be an easy answer but I can't find it. I started streaming on Twitch, but I want to switch to Twitch how do I change it on OBS? It's only showing the twitch channel
You want to switch from twitch to twitch? Lol, I’m assuming you mean Facebook? You have click on logout in OBS and then log back in as Facebook
Yes sorry i meant Facebook. Olay I'll try that.
my overlay from streamemlemets url is not functioning on my OBS
@weak yew Please logout of StreamElements at https://streamelements.com/logout and then login again to your account (Twitch/YouTube/Facebook).
@zealous shuttle I am currently linked to my facebook account on streamemlements.
the boxes were off so i moved them around and now its showing on my stream
You want to switch from twitch to twitch? Lol, I’m assuming you mean Facebook? You have click on logout in OBS and then log back in as Facebook
@low plinth Thank you that worked.
You’re welcome! Glad it worked!
streams started lagging after i changed my encoder to nvenc(new)..got a i7-8700k and rtx 2070 super so shouldnt it be the best option than using x264
@void yoke that didn't necessarily cause it. It's something in the settings that might be causing this
is it working smooth with other encoders?
Hey! So stopped receiving the stream stats report email as of yesterday.. just wondering if its just me?
Exactly the same query as @muted barn above, havent been receiving the stream stats report emails since 2 days, cant log in to stream elements website as well, any help?
@quartz river tbh i didnt change much in the settings other than just the encoder..i tried changingsome after it starts lagging but it didnt change a thing.
@quartz river this is the x264
@quartz river and this is usually what i have for nvench(new)
My speech to talk is real slow. When someone donates me star on facebook gaming it reads his comment after 5/10 minutes later. What to do now?
anyone know the coding to get STARS to show instead of tips for stream elements layers. does it on one of my chat screens but not my main
can anyone give me some help? i cant get my OBS and my live dash to talk. i can go live by hitting the live button on the fb page. but if i was to just go live from OBS it wont let me. keeps saying somthing went wrong. i have double checked the stream key and made sure my OBS setting are right. anyone have any ideas?

Welcome to StreamElements's home for real-time and historical data on system performance.
my chat and activity feed wont update when streaming. anyone having the same issues?
trying to figure this out. I used streamlabs and now switching to elements. but my alerts dont work with elements. can someone help please. the test works but when I stream it does not work on the stream.
Hello Guys, Glad to join the Discord server!
My streamelements widget data is not displaying the proper amount of facebook followers I have and won´t let me rewrite it, is there any workaround for this?
@deep meadow you can reset it in the edit section on the actual SE website where you created the widget. Click on the Session Data button (little computer) on the top by the save!
The actual TOTALs are not allowing me to reset them, only goals,
@low plinth
I currently have 3142 followers and it displays 2052, I want to display an updating feed on this metric as a call to action, but it displays an incorrect amount, which renders this attempts as useless ;(
I have reset every data field, but this do not seem to be affected, nor I can write on top of them.
Reset does not affect totals
Sorry for the long vid, but I find difficult to explain myself otherwise
I use obs.live and stream elements, my activity feed isnt syncing with facebook and says its expired, but only gives me twitch login to refresh, i stream on fb
Happens often, go to your dashboard, finish session and start again, you can try to do it from OBS too.
im trying to link my FB to stream elements page and I keep getting the "failed to load page" error no matter what i try
"failed to get pages"*
Maybe someone here can help. My alerts are not showing up during my live stream and my overlay isn't updating followers, star senders, etc. while I stream. Anybody have any pointers?
@fallen hornet have you tried checking that box?
I'm answering as I hope someone's response to my own question btw, I'm no expert.
@deep meadow that worked. Thank you
@deep meadow what about the goals/ session data sections?

Hello good day!
Yesterday I received a donate and the alert happened and much less was on the goal that I had added. can anybody help me?
Hey im trying to stream to facebook, normally can load obs live up, click stream and everything works. Today it claims it has lost connection and i have tried resetting my stream key and it still wont work. Anyone have any ideas? supposed to be live right now =[
anyone know how to increase font size on obs live chat side window???
I know a few people that are having issues with alerts not coming through. Like it won’t tell them when someone reacts or shares. Any idea how to fix it?
Sorry not this 😄
I’m just talking about reactions and shares here lol
Like what would come through the activity feed.
I’m not seeing alerts through the activity feed either. And the chat isn’t working on the back end of OBS either
I got a problem where I could see the people that liked my stream but for those that used reacts like wow or love react they won't show up on the stream elements alert. Any way to fix this? edit: I customized my own overlays maybe I am just missing something in the settings.
@fallen hornet you're welcome!
@low plinth I've reset every data section with no favorable outcome, it's my page totals which are not represented properly.
Is there a way to set up text to voice for my Facebook chat through OBS Live?
Not at this time.
@bleak sand I had the same issue. On OBS, go up to the top where it says Streamelements...Log out and log back in
@deep meadow then I’m not sure what to say
I've had choppy audio after about 40 minutes of my stream the last two days. Unsure what the difference is, but it has been consistent.

@strange glen Thanks It worked liked a charm!
good day! game capture seems to be covering everything. cant see the cam label or chat
Hello. Last night when I opened My OBS live to start my stream the widgets didn't look right. The alert widget says "session expired" and wants me to connect to twitch. I use FB though and last week when I streamed it was still connected to there. Is there a way to fix this without doing a re install?

🤦♀️
Hey, I can't get my facebook stream widgets to work properly in obs.live. they were working fine until today. when i click start streaming the window to enter title and description no longer pops up, and my activity feed and chat widgets are broken. I can see my activity feed on the streamelements site but i cannot see them in the software. Any help would be greatly appreciated, I am not getting anywhere googling this.
@mild sorrel StreamElements on top of OBS > Logout > Login
Lol. thanks bot. that fixed it 🤦
is it just me or OBS Live is acting up?
usually there's a "start stream" in the Chat area
where I can edit the description
but nothing right now
why is it like that?
even the activity feed
nvm I just had to log out and log back in

Hello, can someone help me? I do GTA RP lives on facebook, so when I open the OBS and start the live, the Kbps rate is from 1500 to 3000 and keeps hiding (I set it to stay at 5000), I already contacted the internet technician, everything is normal , I imagine it is something in my OBS, what would be recommended?
Is there a reason why every time I try to go to my dashboard it asks me if I want to stay logged in as my facebook profile?
@gentle viper Please provide a log from your last stream. To do this, in OBS go to Help > Log Files > Upload Last Log File and paste the link to the log file here.
@cursive thorn Im not sure what you are referring to. Can you take a screenshot next time it asks you that?

@gentle viper Please provide a log from your last stream. To do this, in OBS go to Help > Log Files > Upload Last Log File and paste the link to the log file here.

Ok so im new to stream elements, and i was wondering, how do you configure the chatbot? I've been looking for the configuration tab but i cant find it

@past fog StreamElements on top of OBS > Logout > Login
oh wait i see it
sorry im super tired ....ive been teaching all week and my brain is fried
Better not stream, imo 🙂
If you are super tired, its best to recharge before streaming
haha nah my stream is just me and the boys drinking and making stupid jokes
I mean, if your brain is fried from doing your actual job, then I would advise against streaming, because it ain't easy
then its up to you 🙂
@ebon grove Facebook doesn't provide an API point for us to get the viewer count during a stream.
@inland brook I'm not talking about during a live stream I'm talking about the followers of my page.
i logged out and logged back in and it is still not connecting
@ebon grove sorry, wrong pinned messages
Facebook doesn't provide Total Followers count via their API. We are unable to grab your total followers and show it properly so we start counting it for you.
I'm confused, what do you mean "we start counting if for you?"
We start counting the total followers from 0
due to lack of API from Facebook to get the actual followers count.
@past fog Restarted OBS? Made sure the streamkey is correct? Chose Facebook as the streaming service?
We start counting the total followers from 0
@inland brook Ok Gotcha. Is there a way to change the followers manually then start counting from that point?
Unfortunately no
ok @inland brook Thank you for all your help!
@inland brook that pops up when I click "dashboard" on the SE site and it redirects to Facebook for that so ya I suppose so.
are you able to record this? 
I'm almost 100% this has been covered, but I'm awful at scouring chat for the topic.
OVERLAYS:
I am trying to add my first overlay to my stream. I use OBS and stream on FACEBOOK.
Found the site StreamElements. Went through it and clicked SAVE on the overlay edit page.
Now, I cannot figure out where it saved.
I know how to make scenes, add sources, animated vs images, all that.
I just cannot find the overlay on my PC using Search in Folders.
Any help or suggestions are appreciated!
Hello, Anybody knows how to see the viewer count on the OBS.Live?
I have problem in streamelements dashboard. It is always 0. Any one who encounter this problem?
@grizzled marsh Facebook API doesn't provide a viewers count.
oh that sucks
Hello. Facebook updates are not shown in both alerts the event list. No new followers, no new stars, etc.. I have made sure everything is correct. Please help
Hi there, Does anyone know if it is possible to create a custom goal bar that reacts to stars? I would love to know if there is a call back or handler for this event?
Hi, i believe i have 2 streamelement accounts. I want to get rid of the one on facebook so i can link it to my Twitch account. I noticed when i tried to it said the same username as my Twitch account . I'm kind of lost now.

Anyone know how to get the avatar to show for the phone in chat? Instead it shows the little rocket icon
@fresh kettle you've probably signed up for streamelements using an account that admins that facebook page. happened to me, so i went through the process of deleting that fb channel off streamelements. Didn't work. Contacted support. They helped me removed it.
good day! is there a way to add a viewer count to OBS.live for Facebook streams?
I've been looking everywhere online and there is no tut on how to do this
is this something that is possible?
@native yew Facebook API doesn't provide a viewers count.
Yeah 😦 np.
What's up everyone? Does anyone know or know of a resource where I can learn how to create my own custom progress bar for Facebook events? ex: Stars & Supporters?
I know I can customize the colors in the widget editor but I want to customize the graphics involved.
Apologies if this is the wrong channel
Hey fam so i have an issue where my session data for followers is stuck on 375 i have over 8k followers it doesnt seem to be tracking and i dont want to reset it
when i try to import my streamlabs using the chrome extension. It doesnt bring the alert box. only the sounds. Any ideas?
i have streamlabs prime and was hoping to use the same alerts within stream elements since there isnt many other alert options
My obs session expired and not loading feed or chat, set streamkey and went straight to fb
how do i reconect it?
@trim gyro StreamElements on top of OBS > Logout > Login

someone can help me?
a need to see the number os viewers are seeing my transmission on the Facebook stream... How can i configure it in Streamelements.OBS

oof. Thx
Hey fam so i have an issue where my session data for followers is stuck on 375 i have over 8k followers it doesnt seem to be tracking and i dont want to reset it
@latent aspen 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 loose followers/subs.
i dont want to reset my data
why is it that when someone shares my stream multiple times it only shows 1in the activity feed? and the alert box only goes off once
@latent aspen pinned message.
@quiet lagoon thanks so i have to manually update them
We start counting the total followers from 0
@inland brook Is there any foresight of being able to edit this metric in the future? I mean, it is kinda frustrating not being able to flex follows, mostly for beginners as every follow towards a goal is so important. I am sure @ebon grove and I are on the same page on this.
@deep meadow Check out the StreamElements ideas board: https://strms.net/ideas. You'll be able to add ideas, upvote ideas you agree with and track their progress with email notifications.

I'm having an issue where my shares are not being sent frim FB to trigger my alert. If I test it to live, it pops up. Likes, follows, stars - all working. Shares do not show up at all in event list etc. Anyone see this before?
why is it that when someone shares my stream multiple times it only shows 1in the activity feed? and the alert box only goes off once
@sudden kelp mine is only showing 1 share when I know the person shared multiple times...I did import from Streamlabs my alerts....maybe that’s the issue
Not sure. I did mine from scratch doesn't even show up ever in activity log :(
Might be time to switch back to Streamlabs @sudden kelp
streamelements says im streaming, but it is not streaming to FB, key and url are correct.
@worldly solar it does the same on streamlabs for me - it's like fb doesn't send the alerts out
@sudden kelp I wasn’t having these problems at all when I was using Streamlabs
Im just setting up stream elements for the first time. The thing is when i simulate a tip/stars sent it doesn't show the text on it, any idea what im doing wrong ?
@here
@night haven Text not showing up over your alerts? Go to the Advanced Text Settings and set the top margin to 50, you can work your way to the right position from there.
It was actually not set up to show because of the theme im using, fixed it, but thanks!
Hello why can't I link my YouTube channel to my streamelements account? Btw, I used my personal Facebook account for my streamelements acc if this helps regarding my issue thanks!
In one channel, please.
I am having the problem of Shares not being picked up in events or alert. It is like they don't happen. I have checked that it is enable in the overlay and set up right. It will work if i do a test It just won't pick up when I am live. I only know the shares happen thanks to my studio page on FB. Is there a known way to fix this?
Guys, my activity isn't working very well, i only receive the updates from follow, likes, shares between several minutes, like 10 or 20 minutes, and they come all together at once, and after this, it remain for several minutes again with no updates. Someone help pls?
Hi! i cant close my account. Can i help me someone admin?
@frigid cape DM me this information:

so i am using the free animated valorant theme from streamelements. when i emulate the follower event there is no text in the follower box. like, star events etc. are working just fine, they appear with text but the follower one doesn't. is this a bug from the facebook theme?
@potent roost go to text settings > advance > margins
@cobalt elk ok i fixed it now, thanks a lot!!
Hey guys! Does anyone have any idea how to set up alerts so custom sound will work? I use ones from nerdordie with OBS studio and stream on FB if that matters. Alert itself (graphic) shows on screen but without any sound :/
It might be best to ask NoD on this, if its missing a sound or something,.
I mean it plays on website, also I have separate audio track in obs. It shows that something plays but I can't hear anything on stream nor in OBS, only when I have StreamElements dashboard launched in browser (even that not always).\
Sound is not integrated into alert, it's separate file uploaded on my SE.
Uploaded how?
I'm confused
is the file in the overlay editor and set as a sound file in the alert or as a media source in OBS?
!audiomonitoring
If you are not hearing your alerts and/or Media Request, you are most likely using the Control Audio via OBS option in your browser source properties.
To make sure you hear the alerts and the stream also hears them, follow along the screenshot bellow.

@inland brook you're my hero! 😄
@void yoke 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
@void yoke 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 doesnt work
it works now thanks
but now the alerts dont works lol 😦
and whats the command on the text for shows the last Stars donations and last follower?
is just {name}: {amount} for stars and {name} for the follower? 😦
how can i update my Total Follower count in my settings. I have 93 but SE is only showing 31 in the Total Followers label
from my FB gaming page
how do i get my chat box and acitivy feed to appear in the app it only shows my twitch and i dont stream there anymore
@high harbor StreamElements on top of OBS > Logout > Login
Not sure if this is a bug but I already clicked clear video but the video settings are still there. I also tried setting an image and adding animations to the image (fade in/fade out) but when testing it out with emulate, it's just not working.
@undone drum Please provide your account ID found at the top of this page: https://streamelements.com/dashboard/account/channels This ID is public info and safe to share here.
@zealous shuttle 5f296743be390b71c575fd7e
Ok I just checked, this is a normal behavior
Hmm.. but you see, I have the fade in down/fade out up animation set but it just pops out
and also the text doesn't appear
Text not showing up over your alerts? Go to the Advanced Text Settings and set the top margin to 50, you can work your way to the right position from there.
Aight thanks! I got the text working. How about my issue on the animation?
I have the fade in down/fade out up animation set but it just pops out
make sure to set at least 1 second duration for the animation
Ah. I think I figured it out. It was my bad. Apparently the image was saving as a webp file instead of png for some reason so it's considered as a video instead of an image.
Thanks for the help @inland brook !
Quick question about follower count. My total followers in FB is 140+ but the one captured in SE only shows 3. How do I get these 2 numbers to match?
^^^I asked the same question above. Still no answer.
Hi there, i have an alert for when someone becomes a supporter. A video plays on screen. This video and audio pause for a second multiple times when the alert appears. in the streamelements editor it is fine but when it comes across as a preview its not playing smoothly and freezes for a second multiple times through the alert duration of 40 seconds
So StreamElements still will not pick up shares that happen on FB for me. Any solution to fix this. SE does not pick up the share in any way shape or form but all other events seem fine.
hello and good day. i encounter a problem when creating a new page for streaming. it seems stream elements is picking up my other activity feed and chat instead of a new one. i have disconnect and reconnect the fb business integration but the same error still happens.
i was looking for any advice that could help me
@foggy goblet StreamElements on top of OBS > Logout > Login

@silver magnet StreamElements on top of OBS > Logout > Login
can anyone tell me why or when will the facebook API start giving accurate updates with followers and fans? i have just under 10k followers and its showing 410 on my session data
That's entirely up to them. We can only do so much with what we can get.
Hi! the alerts like new follower or new sharer doesnt pop up on my real-time stream on facebook, but it shows up when i preview it. im using obs. can someone help me? :/
@brave magnet If you are not seeing likes/shares on your current stream or page, that might be due to how the privacy settings of the person liking/sharing your stream are set.
If they are set to private we won't be able to see the events.
Specifically for shares, if they share in private groups, we won't be able to see the event.
i tried sharing/liking with my personal account, my friends also did but it still didn’t work. how can i fix this????
hi the text over speech isnt working for me got any tips?
Facebook doesn't support loyalty.
how about chatbots
these are the only available tabs on my end
how can i get support ai to reply lol
No chatbot either, FB doesn't support chatbots
No idea how they do that, i don't have FB for obvious reasons
Maybe ask the streamers in question which bot they use
alright thanks
if it was that easy i wouldve asked the streamer instead
not bother joining the discord in the first place to ask help from a helpdesk
no cap if you're not here to help might as well just leave it to someone who would answer properly
We don't have a FB chatbot, so we can't help with that
And no loyalty system so same answer for that
hi guys is it possible to show individual comments from a facebook live stream with stream elements, not the whole chat just select comments.
anyone knows how to fix alertbox not showing up on stream??? :/ can’t make it appear in real-time
Hello! I wanted to know how to unlink my FB account from SE so I can link it with my existing Twitch account so everything is connected in one place. I logged in with my twitch and went to connect FB and it said it was already claimed. Thank you.

@amber crater There is no easy way to unlink 2 owner-type accounts from each other. The only way is to make a closure request from here: https://streamelements.com/dashboard/account/security
WARNING: In submitting a closure request, all linked channels within the account will be deleted and you will lose all associated data. This includes overlays, custom commands, timers and past data (tips, subs, etc). You can still reconnect with the deleted account, but you are essentially starting fresh.
@crystal saddle no
is there any way to watch viewer count.(not in stream)
Facebook doesn't provide an API point for us to get the viewer count during a stream.
ok got that thanks 🙂

@spring wagon If you reset your secrets on SE website you will need to readd them
Otherwise I recommend clearing your OBS cache %AppData%\obs-studio\plugin_config\obs-browser\Cache when OBS is switched off
I readded them

@limber sleet StreamElements on top of OBS > Logout > Login
Okay thank you
So in regards to closing my account will that only close the FB account or will close the twitch as well? Right now when I log in with FB it only shows that account linked not my twitch.
how can i see my viewers into SE?
@void yoke Facebook doesn't provide an API point for us to get the viewer count during a stream.
Trying to get confirmation - is there no way to update Total Followers in SE? It appears the Total Followers is greyed out in Session Data but is not accurate to how many actual followers I have on my Facebook page. Thanks in Advance!
Hey, i have a Question
Hi, i stream in facebook, i have a acc with fb and twitch sync, but the data of facebook not collected, anyone can help?
I’ve been hearing of a bot for fb now. I would much rather use streamelements bot. Is there plans for chatbot for fb?
i've seen streamers with them...but not sure how or where they acquired. perhaps offered to them by facebook as a partner perk or something
There’s a bot called nox bot but I just like the streamelements bot and was wondering if there’s plans for it

@rancid ravine No. Facebook hides your pages total likes/followers behind api permissions that are hidden behind business verification that are hidden behind an app... So you have to create an app, get business verified, and then set your api permissions to allow you to get the likes and follows. Its a very stupid process. 2 reasons. 1, you can't get individual business verified right now due to covid, and 2, likes and follows are publicly viewable on any page, so why the heck is it hidden behind an api permission? So in short, Stream Elements has no EASY way to get that data. I've reach out to facebook asking them to please adjust this, but have heard nothing back yet.
Thanks for the thorough response @rough nova ! Yes, that seems extremely silly. Hopefully FB will continue to tweak these things if/when more gamers join the platform.
i've seen streamers with them...but not sure how or where they acquired. perhaps offered to them by facebook as a partner perk or something
@rancid ravine Yes its a thing FB partners are Testing
so i use to be bale to edit what game im playing and say somthing about the stream but i cant do that now on obs and every time i hit start stream its auto puts in what i played last time . is there any way i can get where i can tag the game im playing ?

I am Having issue not seeing my activity feed and chat loading on obs. I already logged out of streamelements and cleared cache, also tried reloading the overlay, but nothing happen. Is there a step I am missing or a simple fix I have not looked at? Thank you for the help. I also stream on Facebook
Whats the best overlay to use with facebook?
I'm having an issue with my OBS Stream Elements. I just logged onto my computer, and it's saying that I have no stream activity in my activity feed and that the only option is to log into Twitch, but I stream on FB.

the "add channel" button can only add an account if its NOT created already

@errant vessel you can DM @wanton torrent the tokens specifying which token is for Twitch and FB
thankyou 🙂
okay, so not a stream elements issue, but hopefully someone can point me in the right direction, i set up my stream, selected the game and added a title, but when both me and a friend looked in the game category on FB it did not show, tried 2 different games, same outcome?
hoping its a simple fix 🤞
to add, if you clicked to view the live from my page it would say is playing XXXX but didnt show in the list for that game
Is there a Rolling Credit section I can add to my stream when I'm ending?
why is my activity window not working ? it says session expired and will not connect to my fb activity
it was working and starting doings this mid stream yesterday

Hi, I had my StreamElements setup and was working for a good week, then a few days ago, Latest Follow and Share hasn't been updating on the Activity Feed.
Is there anything I can do on my side to fix that?
Hey there, for the Activity Feed, the alert doesn't popup when somebody shares the stream on Facebook. Is this normal or am I missng something?
@fickle tendon If you are not seeing likes/shares on your current stream or page, that might be due to how the privacy settings of the person liking/sharing your stream are set.
If they are set to private we won't be able to see the events.
Specifically for shares, if they share in private groups, we won't be able to see the event.
I enabled the chat bot for SE OBS and I was wondering how I edit commands or work it? This is for FB streaming
FB doesn't allow chatbots
Aweeee
So how do I enable a notification through the stream to pop up and say "Like and Follow"?

How do i enable chat bot? I cannot find it anywhere on my dashboard
Gotcha... that makes sense lol does anyone know how to edit the chat commands in FB?
right now chatbots are only available for partners and soon LVL UP creators. but i highly doubt they will open the api up for 3rd party chatbots anytime soon.
even then the chatbot we have is super limited and needs more work

issues importing from slobs
any update or note on API access for Stream Elements to access the Chaining (Raid) feature in Facebook Gaming. When another streamer raids my stream it would be great to provide an on-screen alert for that if possible - or at least get the alert to pop-up in OBS.Live Activity Feed.
Anyone know how to delete an account or merge it with another one?
before this wonderful plugin to create an alert popup you would use the popup box url and paste that into a browser source. with this im a little lost, is it automatically connected because its linked with my facebook account? Im just trying to make alerts work, when i click test stars on my streamer dashboard the stream element alert is not popping up, my old fb one is. please help!
@tough sable - I asked a similar question 12 hours before you and haven't gotten a response. I'm actually not sure how to get support at all.
@verbal shadow well thats not good! for a second i was excited about this.
@frank prawn - I've sent them a ticket request now via their Support Site, but who knows how that will go.
I would love to be able to pay to use products so that I know I'll get support when I request it.

Hi Support team! I am trying to create a follower goal but my followers showing in streamlabs are not matching my actual follower count
@void yoke 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.
is there anyway to get a view count widget??
I have tried to close one of my accounts multiple times in the last few months, it never actually gets closed. I have been patient, but I really need to delete my account so I can add FB gaming account to my other streamelements account.
Ive imported my alerts from streamlabs, which work, however when a share pops up, the text is no longer showing. When someone likes, follows etc, the text is there. Any ideas?
is there anyway to get a view count widget??
@frank prawn I think active viewer count is still not available via API through Facebook

Hi im using OBS live to stream in facebook and im having problem with my alerts which sometimes it doesnt show up when im livestreaming. Can you help me?

How to download the themes??
@slate jasper 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
Just asking is the notif gonna show in the stream??
Where can i put a link for my live stream on facebook?
Can you elaborate? @drowsy finch
@slate jasper if you add the overlay, then yes the alert widget will trigger
how to add??

the old video you have does not show me how to transfer my SLOBS scenes to SE dashboard to make changes
What old video?
The only way to 'transfer' SLOBS scenes to us is to use OBS.Live's importer
ok so i can not bring them into my dashboard to make changes??? SE has very limited overlays
Facebook in general has very limited options, due to restrictions imposed by Facebook or lack of API end points from them.
If you want to import and edit your SLOBS scenes and then add them to a normal OBS
then you will have to use the import option in OBS.Live to remotely import them
Yeah im using stream element
I have clicked log in with facebook and now i cant link the facebook profile to my twitch one that i already had with overlays on it etc, it says channel is already claimed, is there anyways to reverse this? thanks
i wanted to log in with twitch and connect it to my facebook so i could still use my overlays.

Will Facebook Streamers get access to Boo Super Theme in the Themes Gallery?
If it hasn't been added already, then no.
well can it be added, like come on why dont us Facebook Streamers get access to all the themes like Twitch do
its not like you guys change the titles or anything ive been looking thru the facebook super themes and they still have recent cheer and subscriber
not recent stars or recent supporter
Due to different widgets, not all themes can be converted over
its a theme overlay its not that hard to do
Its not as simple as you think 🙂
then why am i doing it now?
same going back to SLOBS]
@thick echo You were talking about importing your SLOBS scenes to us and I told you how you can do that.
And I will say it again - you can use OBS.Live to import your scenes from SLOBS to our dashboard
then you can edit them as much as you want
@latent aspen Im not sure what you are doing right now.
slobs is soooooo much easier and way more overlays
recreating the boo overlay for my facebook stream its as simple as saving the video files
Just make sure you are not editing the assets, as its against our Terms to download our assets.
But let me elaborate on why not all overlays are converted
@latent aspen the screenshot had sensitive link in it, sorry
it involves time, which our designer and artists cannot spend at the current moment
to work on modifying the assets in the overlays
especially on all of the themed overlays
but we do try and get newly created themes compatible with all platforms
well im sorry the whole FACEBOOK side of the Streamelements is subpar at best you do know facebook is the fastest growing platform you would think Streamelements would cater to this
bro, no one cares about facebook, Twitch is the only one that gets any recognition
I'm sorry that Facebook has us tied and provides limited access to their API and we cannot expand its usage.
The facebook integration is more or less year old and we are well aware of it being limited
I can't say if its the fastest growing platform, but I can say that I've personally seen people not wanting to be there even as a viewer, as they don't want to share their personal information around
then why does streamlabs have so much more
But this is a discussion not for here
I can't say why they have more, because we are 2 different companies
i personally think SE have put it in the too hard basket
the only good thing SE have done is put fan and follower different in the alert box
SLOBS have a lot of overlays for FB, a lot of them come from Own3d , that the one i even use. but going through all these hoops to work with SE is crazy
If the overlays are coming from Own3d, that means its not SL created overlay. If you want any of the Own3d overlays to work with us, you better talk with Own3d instead of with us or SL
its not our job to get companies to work with you tho
so basically no one wants to work with you huys , FB or Owned , i assume nerd or die is a no too
*guys
NoD and Own3d are desginer companies, they rely on people wanting stuff from them.
Its actually by people wanting NoD stuff to work with us, that they made their stuff compatible with us
all i know as soon as SL fix the fan and follower issue i will be using them FT since SE dont give to poops about facebook streamers lol
Need help facebook notif alerts not showing in obs
Hey everyone! Im BRAND NEW to Stream Elements as I have given up on SLOBS! However, I transfered most of my scenes, audio, etc to Elements but Im wondering if I can use the same alertbox and Star/Follower bars that I have made in slobs IN elements? If not, is there a link that can show me how to create a follower/star goal bar?
Hi everyone! Just wanted to ask, is there a way to make the alert sounds return to default? Thanks!
Someone having a problem on facebook today, my chat and activity feed is not updating on the Obs Live
i had to create a custom dock from facebook chat url and it's working, i tried to do the same with the activity feed from the streamelements website, on the website is working normally, but even the url dock from the website is not working '-'
It says on OBS Live that my session is expired and is asking me to login with twitch...
have you tried logging out and logging back in then?
On streamelements website? Yeah, but on the OBS Live there's no option to logging in with facebook...
not that i have find out...
yeah you would need to logout and login through OBS.Live
unfortunately i don't know enough about how to get your FB account to show up
@rancid ravine oh man, ty, it worked, i didn't knew that there's a option to logout and logging in
yeah, my activity feed showed up again, so i guess that the chat will too when i start the stream, oh my, ty a lot, i was getting anxious about it hahaha
good day to you all..I'm just going to ask my live stream gaming on fb is lag. if single player the game is smooth but when we play multi player, too much lag in live stream how fix the settings?and this is my internet connection... ping 2, 25mbps, 7.89 upload..and my pc specs.. processor:i7 2.60ghz(8 CPUs),~2.6GHz
16gb RAM,DX12intel HD graphich 520,NVIDEA geforce GTX960 2gb...pls help me to find good setting for my OBS...
@winged fox There are no "best settings".
Please understand that every setup will be very different.
Any guides or videos that claim otherwise are misinforming. Your best option is to start with a base and adjust as necessary.
You can run the OBS auto-configuration tool. To use the auto-config, click on the Tools menu in OBS, select Auto-Configuration Wizard and then just follow the on-screen directions.
You can use this tool to get baseline settings for your hardware and adjust as necessary from there.
Test, test, and test again. We are happy to offer suggestions for any issues you may be having afterwards, but not a list of settings.
Thank you 
Good evening to you guys.. I am new to streaming on facebook and I am using OBS studio with streamelements overlays and obs.live. So far, its running smoothly. I just have a question on how I can see how many viewers I have without opening facebook? I checked the widgets but nothing there unless I use streamlabs. Any help is appreciated.
Facebook API doesn't provide a viewers count.
Anyone else experiencing the stat counts not showing up on the widgets? Alertbox not alerting for some engagements too.
Not updating, rather
Streamelements OBS.Live will only notify some of the stream shares, some shares dont register with obs.live/streamelements. Also Heart reactions dont notify in OBS.Live/Streamelements. Any known fix for this?

@earnest goblet I have the same problem
Users can choose to make the channels that they subscribe to public or private. By default, all settings are set to private.
Private: When a users subscriptions are set to private, no other user can see what channels they subscribe to. A user's account does not show in a channel's Subscribers List, even if they are subscribed.
Public: When users subscriptions are set to public, another user can see what channels they subscribe to. User subscriptions are listed on their channel page and their account is listed in the Subscribers List for any channel they subscribe to.
If a user has it set to Private they will not show up in the activity feed. More info: https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/7280190

Ya have to be patient, us fb streamers are second class here
Ha. It would appear so right???
But looking back everyone over the past 24 hours received an immediate reply. I even found others with the same issue but the resolution doesnt work for me.
@here it would have seemed that SE.Staff dont want to deal with facebook support questions but happily tend to support questions over on twitch an YT

@latent aspen check response below
@ocean vale I would try to relog on streamelements and even reconnect in OBS settings > stream
other than that you can elaborate on when it started and what changed when it did
In general you guys must understand that FB don't provide us with the same information that Twitch does, for example
so a lot of trivial things that are being kinda instantly handled on other helpdesk channels, might require a bit of little digging into when it comes to FB
sometimes even digging into it with dev, which would require even more time
stating we don't care or that you're 'second class' is just putting an irrelevant take on a strictly technical reason to the delay in responses
and seeing as this take is solely a personal opinion, I'd advise avoiding sharing it publicly
You guys can also contact us via the website contact form if you feel like it.

Hello everyone! I tried looking through all of the messages in this Discord but couldn't find an answer. Is there any plans to add an alert for Facebook Gaming Chaining (Raid) alerts?
Hello!
I want to link my current Twitch Streamelements account to my FB one
but I accidentally created a new account using FB login
so everytime I try to add a new channel from the twitch one I got the error message "Channel already claimed"
I already tried to close the FB account
but it does nothing

is stream elements down? Just got off my second stream with no alerts and having issues with the site not loading
The site and services are running as expected.
weird the site is still spinning for me
@vale whale Our Dashboard and Overlay Editor are Chromium Optimized. We strongly recommend using Chrome. Opera GX and the new Microsoft Edge Chromium might work closest to Chrome as its also Chromium built. Firefox also works, but some things might look a bit different or not work. We do not recommend using Internet Explorer with our Dashboard as it does not support functions.
If the website doesn’t work on chrome, be sure none of your plugins are blocking our website or clear your cookies. You can try if the website works in a incognito tab.
i am
can you try incognito mode? @vale whale
if that works, its might be a plugin causing it in non-incognito mode
that worked but still doesn't explain why the alerts have not been working past 2 streams. I will see what happens next time
Anybody know why my chat window became white? before it was dark mode

Good morning, is there anything special i need to do; to stream to both facebook and twitch at the same time? I linked the channel but its not going to facebook?
You can use OBS to restream, but OBS.Live can only show events from 1 platform
Okay. But its not showing that I am live on facebook but I am live on twitch. Thats why I am trying to figure out
Well we do not support restreaming in general, but you can set your restream key in the OBS settings
so it should be fine
Okay I will look at that.

Hi. Am I blind or is there nowhere on the dashboard to activate the chatbot?
I've tried looking for chatbot, tried importing nightbot, still can't find either as an option. However if I log into Twitch it seems fine. Maybe FB isn't available to have a bot?
@lime pewter Facebook doesn't have the capabilities for a bot at this time.

Hello guys. I activity feed in OBS and chat doesn't show anymore. I think it was not connected on the facebook but it is connected in my page.
Session expired says in the activity feed and needs to be logged in. I am using facebook live not twitch
@pine ingot StreamElements menu, on top of OBS > Logout > Login
Greetings, it seems my profile may have split into 3 or so pieces again... I have logged in with facebook, youtube, and twitch. I once had mine merged, but it is no longer the case. I want to go live on Facebook with a very popular game that just launched & am concerned my tip page links won't be valid anymore... Youtube was supposed to be my primary login, but I stream to facebook & just post the session to youtube currently.
I am going to have to use paypal.me instead of stream elements for donations for now & not get any notifications....
Channels don't unlink, nor do we unlink them for people. Too dangerous for the database.
But neither do they share any data.
The only reason to have channels merged is to swap between them quickly and copy designs between them.
They do not share data, links, anything.
So different channels have separate profile pages & tip pages?
Yes.
Oh, thx. I guess that is enough info for me to figure stuff out.
Trying to get logged in with Facebook, but the box that pops up when I click the FB, is too small for the pop up it says. So I am unable to sign in. It also won't let me expand or maximize the pop up box. So stuck with the first pop up in a window and inside that window, it says that window is too small for pop up. It's at the point that I just need to click that I am using my FB. The blue button to click is right behind the "window too small" error, it's visible but the error is on top. Please help, I really want to try out StreamElements instead of just OBS Studios. Thanks in advance.

Hi, my activity feed does not seem to be updating in the dashboard or in OBS live, is there some setting I need to refresh or update? I installed yesterday, was able to see one of my friends follow, then tonight when someone new followed I did not see anything in the activity feeds
The activity I saw yesterday my stream was offline, then tonight while I was online I had another friend follow and nothing showed up. Same with an offline follower tonight
Is there a bot or widget that reads out a message when someone sends you stars on facebook?
@coral edge The alert widget has a TTS option in it.
Hi. Is it possible to just show an alert if you have a message? I know there is the message check box, but I want to only see the alert at all if a message is present.
Yeah, that shows the message, but I only want to see the alert if there actually is a message
Are you referring to this option or something else, because I understand the main queastion as, if there is no message on the tip/stars, just don't show the alert.
ok so i understood you correct.
There is no condition for that.
Ok, didn't think so. Hopefully something to be added to variations in future.
Thanks for the quick response though 👍
Has anyone made a custom rotating widget displaying recent events such as followers or stars etc?
can i unlink my facebook account. I accidenlt made a second and need to unlink so i can connect it to my main

@deep hill already reply to your email and reported that to our dev team
Does anyone know what is the configuration in streamelements, to be able to make vertical stream in Facebnook?
What is the resolution?
Aspect ratio?
Size? etc
Here is a SS for example:
@cobalt elk thanks for that 🙂 I just wanted to see if people get the same issue.
Baixei agora e quero começar a fazer live... mas não sei configurar!

Hi my streamelements alerts is not working in obs
@wanton raven 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
so i have this alerts that was pre made and in stream elements its resolution is not 1080p should i still set the browser souce at 1080p?
it looks like its working when im testing it but most of the time it wont work when actually streaming
hi guys, i just want to ask, how do you connect your activity feed and chats in your fb?

@humble pivot For the best OBS support, please join their Official Discord @ discord.gg/obsproject
@cinder pawn Please stop posting in multiple channels!
@high juniper Please ask your question in one helpdesk channel only. A support volunteer or StreamElements staff member will assist you as soon as they are available. Asking in multiple places will only result in confusion, not faster answers. Thank you for your patience.
hello! im having troubles going Live on Facebook, once i hit start stream, it gets connected for a while and then disconnects, tries to reconnect and then disconnects again.
@tough lotus StreamElements menu, on top of OBS > Logout > Login

Do we have a fb live chat bot yet? Having trouble finding it.
Facebook doesn't support chatbots
AHH, ok! I've seen some people with them but maybe its just the partners. Super new to the FB world. Thanks @gilded mesa ! 🙂
Hi, I've created several overlays, and I'm having problems with the notifications, every time the notifications appear on the screen, it locks the live, but only for those who are watching, because for me it's normal.
My stream was working fine last night, now it gave me a stream key issues and I can't seem to stream... Edit It finally started working so Idk
Hey there, I saw on a reddit post that you can ask to merge accounts here? because i just linked a facebook account to a new SE account. Thank you in advance! #helpdesk-facebook

@craggy hawk Account Merging - Please note:
- Merging accounts only allows faster ways to switch between accounts
- Merging accounts does not allow data sharing between accounts - different streaming platforms, different type of events
- Merging accounts allows duplicating/sharing overlays between the accounts
If you understand the limitations of merging and want to proceed, please find the JWT tokens (!jwt) from both accounts you want to merge and you will be directed to DM them to a staff member.

Can anyone tell me 2 things, how to connect twitch and stream on both facebook and twitch? And also why my comments is not coming up in the chat box?
@fervent flax You'd need to use something like restream or another service and even then we don't support giving alerts from both platforms.

Not that you want to merge but the info still applies.
Simply put: We only support 1 platform at a time.
Oh ok cool... i have streamlabs and i pay for prime so i can stream to twitch and facebook but it always crashes and kicks me off the stream
@quiet lagoon yes thats what i thought i could do with stream elements
hi

Hi team, is there any issue right now in streamelements? Seems the latest share, like on my page is not registering even though I am using the correct account. Btw, this is for FB streaming
Hi, so I'm stuck on maybe a basic problem:
I can't see anywhere to reconnect my facebook to streamlabs
logging out of everything and maybe clearing browser cookies might help
Hello, I have a question regarding chatbot. Does it work with Facebook live on a page?
Nevermind.
Found the answer
how do i resize the overlay to fit in streamlabs obs
@lament adder 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
@lament adder We're not able to troubleshoot issues with using our overlays in StreamLabs OBS (SLOBS) as we don't have the tools to support their software. We recommend using OBS Studio or OBS Studio with our plugin OBS.Live.

I used to be prompted with a box to create my title, description, and tag the game that I'm playing but now that doesn't appear and I have to use Facebook to help launch my stream. My alert box and chat box are no longer working either out of nowhere. I had my most popular stream to date a couple of days ago and was unable to keep up with alerts properly. Please help!

Anyone know a way to create a clip easy from facebook? I know theres !clip, is there a way to clip longer than 60 seconds. also maybe a way for stream deck to do this too to make it easy for me?
Question, is there any way to show how many are watching without having the stream up?
