It depends on the platform you're going live with on the Confirm & Go Live window; you might need to click the Show Advanced Settings toggle to see the settings you can change that are now global for every platform. Twitch, YouTube, and Trovo permit this. Facebook is making changes to their platform and while I believe you can still change the category; they no long permit you to set the name of the game. TikTok only allows you to use the category of Gaming as far as I understand out integration with TikTok (and I don't use TikTok).
Ok Thank you so much
You're welcome.
But I guess I need make a account, because I don't see nothing in advanced settings
Have you ever used Streamlabs before or is this your first time?
First time
Have you gone to the Streamlabs web https://streamlabs.com/ and logged in with the platform and channel you want to use OR in Streamlabs Desktop, gone to Settings > Stream and connected the platform and channel there?
The second option
Okay great! Which platform did you connect there?
Twitch
Okay great! When you click Go Live, a window should come up and there you can set the various options for you stream.
Okay let me check
Nothing apparead in options advanced or options > Streams @gritty isle , I think I need make a account of StreamLabs xd
Hello guys, I have an Error with my alerts, It stays on screen like an infinite loop what can I do?
Did you log in after you merged your Twitch account? If not, please do that first. 👇
@unkempt vine
Click the :gear: at the bottom left of Streamlabs Desktop. Then the logout button should be at the bottom left of the popup as shown:
https://i.gyazo.com/d85a0f693148ea5b9e4c6b03d7cbf703.png
Please screen shot the settings for the alert that has this issue.
All of my alerts have the issue
I didn't log because I don't have created a account StreamLabs yet
From Streamlabs Desktop, screen shot Settings > Stream please.
That's unusual. I'd double check the Alert Duration. It should match the length of the image or sound file. Definitely should not be longer.
Yeah it is weird
Ah, you're manually connecting via RTMP URL and stream key. In that case you'd need to set up your stream on Twitch and then go live in Streamlabs Desktop.
What you should do though, if you really want to take advantage of all the Streamlabs features, is go to the Streamlabs web site and log in with your Twitch channel. Then in Streamlabs Desktop, log in with that same Twitch channel.
Ah then it can work with only my account of twitch, right?
but i need have open the web StreamLabs all time?
No, you don't need the web site open all the time. You just want to log in there with your Twitch to set up your Streamlabs account. Then you want to log in in Streamlans Desktop with that same Twitch.
Please set the Alert Animation on your alerts.
Then I don't see the sense to make a account ID of StreamLabs.. 😅
Okay, well, that's up to you then.
You can connect via RTMP URL and stream key and then set up your stream using the Stream Manager on your Twitch channel then go live in Streamlabs Desktop.
hello i dont know why but my stream not laggy but if i move in my game i have so much blurry and pixl
last day with the same settings there was not a problem! But today is realy blurry and full of pixl i changed nothing my internet is good i have over 300+ download and over 50+ upload
and my stream resulation is 1080p60fps and like i said i have no internet problems but twitch just show 720p https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2169428367
hi, I have a little problem, I want to use my iPad remote control, it is via wifi on my internet box, and my PC via cable on the same internet box, when I scan the QR code on the iPad, it says connecting and after that I get the scan again, I can't connect the two... THANKS !
Is there a way to set up the title and what u will stream before u start the stream in the settings not the thing before u press go live.
There's some troubleshooting in this guide: https://streamlabs.com/content-hub/post/streamlabs-controller-app-remote-control-your-stream
So you don't want to set up your stream in the Confirm & Go Live window?
Yeah, like before i do it
From Streamlabs Desktop, screen shot Settings > Video and Settings > Output please.
When you click the Go Live button, a pane should pop up where you can set up your stream.
but I mean is like I can set it up now and then when I am about to stream I don't need to do all the setting up then
Uncheck this option and set the Keyframes to 2. 10 is way too high for Keyframes. And what do you have Max B Frames set?
In that case, you'd need to set you stream on the end platform, like Twitch or YouTube.
2 max b frames
why do i have 2 spotify.exe window and why is 1 not working? is there not a way just select the spotify window without a song ? (its for the music in the stream btw)
Spotify changes the window title. There should be an option like 'match executeable name' or something like that. I don't have Streamlabs Desktop installed here at work so I can't screen shot it.
is it in this window or in the general settings?
Whenever I add a gif to streamlabs, it shows for like 5 seconds then disappears
In the properties for Window Capture.
hmm i don't see it
Oh poop. Sorry. That's an option in Game Capture which won't work for Spotify.
How did you add this GIF?
so do i have to change every time a song ends? or does it change on auto?
sources > media file > downloads > .gif file
I don't have a good answer for that, sorry. I don't stream Spotify. Its way Spotify works; not much we can do about it.
ah okay dont worry 
Are you wanting the GIF to remain on the screen or you just want to see it once when that scene becomes active?
i'd like for it to remain on screen
in the scene to which i am adding it
Then tick the 'loop' option in the Media Source properties.
For some reason my YouTube subscriber alert box will not pop up on stream whenever someone subscribers to the channel. I've tried everything and it's very frustrating. Is anyone able to call and help me resolve the issue?
oh damn thank you rufus
rufus the goat ty
Some YouTube subscriptions won't show due to provacy settings on the viewer's account.
When someone makes an account on YouTube, the subscribed channels are private by default. When the person subscribing to you is set to private, Streamlabs cannot see the subscription.
The subscriber would need to set their subscriptions to public in YouTube's privacy settings https://www.youtube.com/account_privacy Found here: https://imgur.com/4fkxuL0
You're welcome.
That's extremely annoying
Sorry about that. YouTube did that to comply with Privacy laws, like COPPA.
So what's the best solution? I'm not boutta ask my subscribers to do it manually lmao
Also are you able to help me make a decent layout stream? I'm a beginner so I only have the tip jar & chat box
if ur able to call if not it's okie
As the streamer, there's not much you can do about it. It would be up to the viewer to make their subscription Public before subscribing to your channel but tis hard to convey that.
yea true lol
We can't provide support in DM's or calls, sorry.
My suggestion, if you're just starting out, is keep it simple. You don't need every single widget and feature. Add them over time as your channel and viewer base grows. All I have is the Alert Box. Personally I find having Chat on stream is distracting from the game play. Platforms like YouTube and Twitch have a dedicated chat for viewers and with YouTube, you can see that chat if you're watching a replay of the lvie stream.
noted thank you!
You're welcome!
it looks good right? skip to 1:00 https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2169468070?filter=archives&sort=time
I can't get that to play.
Same, that VOD isn't playable for me.
If you unchecked Enforce streaming service.. and set you Keyframes to 2, you should be good.
Ideally, with Twitch, their capped bitrate of 6000 isn't enough for 1080p60. I'd suggest setting your Output Resolution to 1280x270 and keep your bitrate at 6000.
okay maybe you need so login than i t work BUT thank you i guess it helped me alot ❤️
Won't let me multistream
You're welcome.
In Streamlabs Desktop, please try and go live only to Facebook. What happens?
Attention Facebook Streamers
Facebook has new criteria for going live starting today. The criteria is the following:
- Your account must be at least 60 days old.
- Your Page or professional profile must have at least 100 followers.
- To go live from a Page, you need to have Facebook access or task access to create content.
You can read more about this change here: https://www.facebook.com/business/help/216491699144904?id=1123223941353904
If you are not eligible, you will see the error in the screenshot. If you do meet these requirements, please try relogging in the software. If you still have an issue, please verify your eligibility with Facebook support and reach out to us in a (https://support.streamlabs.com/hc/en-us/requests/new)
I have all the requirements
In Streamlabs Desktop, are you logged in with Twitch or Facebook?
Both it's multistreaming everything except Facebook
Yes, I understand you're trying to use multitreaming with Twitch and Facebook.
What I'm asking is, are you logged in Streamlabs Desktop with your Twitch or your Facebook?
Twitch
Okay, thanks for confirming that. I'd suggest logging out and then log in with your Facebook and go live just to Facebook (toggle Twitch off in multistream). Let me know what happens.
@desert briar
Click the :gear: at the bottom left of Streamlabs Desktop. Then the logout button should be at the bottom left of the popup as shown:

i need some help with tiktok streaming through streamlabs please.
Hop over to #vip-support for assistance.
thank you
Update settings still failed but video transmission went thru but still no live feed
Hmmmm, okay.
From Streamlabs Desktop, please screen shot Settings > Video and Settings > Output.
Hello, is there a staff i could dm my issue to
We can't provide Streamlabs support in DM's, sorry. What's your issue?
Hi. Could I get some help? Even though I have high-end PC, I have so many issues and so many options don't work that I'm about to go crazy.
First of all, when I record anything, the screen is a little bit blurry.
For example, as you can see, the first picture is a little bit blurry, even though I already maxed all my settings and tried literally everything, it's always at least a bit blurry
From Streamlabs Desktop, please screen shot Settings > Video and Settings > Output (if you're using the Advanced Output Mode [not required that you us that mode]), screen shot both Settings > Output > Streaming and Settings > Output > Recording.
I'm not able to start streaming in my device, it just keep loading and more loading, any solution??
And also the chat box widget not working for me
Those setting look fine although your FPS of 143 is not ideal. I'd drop that down to 120. You want the FPS to be even divisible by 60; 143 isn't. Also set your Keyframes and Max B Frames to 2.
@gritty isle please one more time. when i stream now right? my twitch stream is full black! but when i watch the stream that was black in my videos i have the full video with the game with my cam etc
but everyone see a blackscreen wtf this make no sense at all
my problem when i record is that there is a sound that wont go away
Please screen shot the whole Streamlabs Desktop window with the scene active where the problem occurs.
🫠
Likely the issue is your bitrate is over 6000 which is the maximum that Twitch will accept.
@gritty isle u can hear the sound
It sounds like background noise, do you have a fan on?
no nothing on
❤️
8000 work
i have nothing on it just sounds like that
i think it has smth with the mic to do but i didn't even have a mic on
What platform are you trying to stream with?
YouTube
If you're a Twitch Partner, 8000 would work. If you 're not, you'l need to lower it to 6000.
With 1080p and 60fps
From Streamlabs Desktop, screen shot Settings > Audio please.
partner not but pepole can sub
https://www.twitch.tv/passkill look what do you say looks good?
From a mobile device? I suspect there's not enough bandwidth over your Wifi connection for that. I'd go with 720p30.
Yup mobile device
I did stream 2,3 times
But it always take soo much time
@gritty isle
I'm testing all the mobile streaming app and I found the best quality in Streamlab but with this bad problem 🥲
My wifi speed, so i don't think internet has issues with it
I'd specifically set your Desktop Audio and Microphone devices rather than using Default. Otherwise, your audio setting look good. You might try adding a noise suppression filter.
Yes, that looks good.
I still suggest 720p30 rather than 1080p60.
yoooo
i can't link my twitch when i'm on streamlabs desktop someone know what can i do ?
What happens?
i change my twitch password and now i can't link my streamlabs to my twitch
Ok but what to do if I still stuck in loading???
Force quit Streamlabs Mobile.
when i click on twitch to login he do nothing same think for youtube tiktok or twitter , i can link just with my facebook
Having issues logging in/the login button is unresponsive?
Your default browser in Windows is causing issues with logging into Streamlabs Desktop. The login popup relies on the default browser set in Windows, so you won't be able to log in if it's blocked. Follow these steps to fix it:
- Press the Windows key on your keyboard or go bottom left and click the Windows logo.
- Search for "default apps". It may be different in Windows 10 and Windows 11.
- Find the default apps section and close Streamlabs Desktop
- Change your default browser to a new browser. For example, if you're currently on Chrome, you'll want to change it to Edge or Firefox. (Screenshot for reference: https://prnt.sc/48ZdLCQCgi8D)
- Once you've changed this, reopen Streamlabs Desktop and see if the same issue occurs when attempting to log in.
which of these 6 should i have?
Could anyone help me with my problem when I try to login to Streamlabs desktop it starts to load all login options for a millisecond and then stop and won’t let me login

Sorry I didn’t see the message above mine till I texted mine
No worries. Let me know if that helps you or not.
That worked thank you so much
Woo Hoo!!! You're welcome.
What about chat box widget??
Chats aren't showing on the screen where I placed it
I do have a private stream if you want to look at
With YouTube, you have to be Live with a Public stream for chat to show in the Chatbox. Private or Unlisted won't work.
Yes, really.
@gritty isle thx ur the goat
You're welcome.
Unfortunately those options didn't work either, the screen is still a bit blurry
Change Preset to P5.
Welp xD
Interesting. Do you have the GeForce Experience install? What version of the Nvidia driver do you have?
I tried using "run as Administrator" option, now I turned it off and that error disappeared
Anyways, P5 doesn't work either, still blurry.
I think I'll just create a support ticket on the page, since it seems to be some complicated and totally random issue, and I don't want to bother you too much
All righty, sounds good.
Thanks for trying though!
You're welcome.
Also a little fun fact - I tried to record using OBS Studio with exactly the same settings and I don't have the blurry image here, which is literally magic to me xd But I still prefer Streamlabs, so I'm trying to solve this issue for it anyway
I'll tell you later when i do public stream but the solution you provided me for loading is not working
I had the same issue , thx a lot ❤️
Is anyone elses Alert Box Previews not working for some alerts. Most of the "Tips" do not work as preview or even in OBS for actual alerts.. Also honestly personaly dislike the change from "Donations" to "Tips" and this new alert menu setup. So much slower manually enabling and disabling alerts then saving each one..
Is there a way to make the message that appears for bit donations last longer? I want it to last as long as the animation and the music, but there doesn't seem to be a way to specifically make the text message last just as long.
hi there, new to streamlabs and I'm having a bit of an issue, I'm assuming my question goes here if not I'm sorry, I'm currently making a scene and I have added a transition that has a sound but no sound plays at all, I'm not sure what to do to fix it
Update: I messed up the settings, I got it working now 😂😅
I think it's called "Alert Duration" if you know long the audio file duration is just set it to the same.
@pulsar cypress no the "Alert Duration" only works for the animation and the music, not for the text
Oh odd. . Mine usually lasts the entire duration. I also add text delay like about 1-2 seconds. I'm not sure why it's not lasting the entire duration for you.
Hello, im having connection issues with Twitch/ Youtube + restream.io, none of my stuff will connect anymore
@pulsar cypress If I add a text delay, it will just make the text appearance shorter
Yes that's true. I'll mess with mine a little to see if there's any other way. Hopefully someone else know exactly how to it.
Can anyone help me with a sound issue ive been having while streaming? Here is a link to it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uT4MISDrE9g
Hello, I activated and launched the alerts in SL but when someone follows me or anything else, no alerts show up
What can I do?
@pulsar cypress okay thanks for your help, is there a suggestion box somewhere; they really should allow us to mess with the music, animation, and text time independently of each other
This is technical support correct? Can someone acknowledge my question
I am really sorry to hear that.. Can you please elaborate your issue?
Hey, please, would you help me with an issue?
Sure, I will. so your alerts are not showing up? When you preview it, does it work?
Yes
I was unable to authenticate with twitch, I uninstalled, cleared cache, signed into streamlabs, and now twitch works, but I am unable to stream on Youtube at the sametime anymore, I used restream.io and it appears its not firing
Can you please check if your alerts are turned ON from the streamlabs website.
How do I check that? I think that I've turned it on tbh
Are you trying to multistream using streamlabs desktop?
Go to the streamlabs website and go under alerts and click on each alert and make sure its turned on.
Yes....before this week, I would fire up streamlabs, click go live, and boom it all worked
Maybe paste that URL on anywhere in OBS?
Not really. Are you using Streamlabs Desktop?
No, just the website.
Check your streaming settings and check if you are correctly streaming to restream.io
I would suggest you to just use streamlabs desktop as it will be really easy to add everything like alerts and all
Yes you need to copy and paste that link on OBS if you are just using streamlabs alerts
Yes, I only use the alerts, but where do I paste that link?
Where you want to put the alerts in the scene.
So I just right click on the scene and paste the link?
Add browser source and paste the link
It now works! Thank you so much!
ok thanks, but Im not super technical, and have been looking for support all day before I found here
Sir you are doing it wrong. If you want multistream with Streamlabs desktop, then you need Ultra subscription for that .. If you want to use restream.io then you just need to put the stream url and key from restream.io in streamlabs desktop and start streaming
hello , my recent events not working and its not update for the follow and subs , just bits
i select everything
@orchid flax can u help me?

Hi, can I ask here something before making a purchase?, with ultra is it possible to set separate alerts per platform? For instance: YT alert, won't appear to twitch viewers, and twitch alerts won't appear to youtube viewers
is that possible?
@rich widgetno
I am having issues going live and recording videos. This started happening after I upgraded to Ultra. I was able to go live to Twitch yesterday. I have done everything including uninstalling and reinstalling. At first it was just an issue with going live. Then after I reinstalled in won't let me record either. It just says Recording error and Streaming error.
I also tried each account seperately for the going live error.
Hi guys, I had an issue last night while streaming. The video was crystal clear but was in slow motion. The audio was coming through at normal speed but the video was like it was running at 0.5x. Any suggestions on what to check or change? I hadn’t changed any settings at all and prior to this didn’t have any issues. Many thanks
Can you please share your settings screenshots
Kindly share your video settings screenshots please.
Thank you. I think I have resolved the issue. Just needed a hard reset and a new stream key
Will come back if I have more issues
So I have been having issues with alerts not triggering on my stream for subs. My Bit alerts works fine, I am using Streamlabs console. I was going to do the disconnect option then reconnect accounts but when I go to my Twitch connections it's not showing Streamlabs as being connected in the list ... I am able to use overlays and stream just fine going through Streamlabs on my Xbox but I am confused as to why it's not showing on the connection list on Twitch itself... any advice?
I fixed the issue with the recording by changing the codec. Now just the streaming issue remains. I made a support request so I will check with them. But thanks.
Hi ❤️ I've been having issues with my alerts not having audio for a few days now and when I test them they work but the real thing does not. I summitted a ticket but I wanted to makes sure that I'm on top of this as I'm going to be going live again fairly soon. Any support is amazing 🙂
Sure no problem..
hello, i'm having a similar issue as above, i can't hear any alerts, as well as desktop and game audio isn't coming through streamlabs. i've watched countless videos and even asked friends for help, but its still an issue
Please check the desktop audio should be selected in the streamlabs desktop
most probably you have not selected the correct desktop audio in streamlabs desktop
this is also my default speaker
No Desktop audio is detected unforunately
I also have alerts from mix it up, that give me audio, and the test alerts give me audio. The real deal still isn't working for me unforunately
FELLAS I NEED SOME HELP

Hey, I'm trying to set up a death counter for my streams and it would be nice to have it on screen too and not only in my chat. I find out what Stream Labels it should be but it won't update :/ Only when I restart Streamlabs. Did I miss something?
anyone that knows how to fix this i cant click accept?
Hi! I am on PC and trying to set up Streamlabs OBS in conjuntion with my Focusrite 18i8 Scarlett Audio Interface and Ableton 12 Lite so that I can record playing instruments with 3 microphones. Specifically I am trying to stream myself playing handpan that is captured with 2x Neumann KM184s (set to all Left and all Right respectfully) and an SM 58 microphone underneath to capture the more bassey sounds. I am using Reastream to route the Audio from Ableton to Streamlabs, however, when I play a recording back, it sounds like all the notes played are doubled... I have used this guide to set up: https://medium.com/the-electronic-music-producer/how-to-connect-your-daw-to-streamlabs-obs-for-livestreaming-24065cbd680e Does anyone have anything I can try?
make the chat larger and you shuold be able to see the button to click accept
thankyou!

Same issue here... When i start virtual camera on Streamlabs, it doesn't even show up in the cameras list... Should we report it to Discord support?
Hi, I'm trying to sort animations for Follows, Bits, Raids etc. I managed to do this but I realised I had done it on the default Twitch theme. So I changed it to the theme I had purchased a while ago but now when I try to add the same animations they don't show up and are instead replaced with the theme. Hope that makes sense? I want to keep everything else on the theme but I want to add these animations.
Normally any follows or subs are shown below my camera as a lil pop up but I thought adding an animation would spice it up a bit, but it won't even work 😦
Thanks in advance
does the theme have HTML/CSS in it? if so that's probably why, or alert variations
Just bring it to factory setting interesting.... every solve can be finished
that was a known issue before. However i would try uninstalling the virtual webcam and then re-install Streamlabs and try again
Already did it. Actually i've found a workaround: you need to install Discord PTB 64bit version, and it works perfectly! See this for more info: https://www.reddit.com/r/streamlabsobs/comments/1bufffp/streamlabs_virtual_camera_no_longer_works_with/
oh i'm dumb. it says the green circle but is giving the work around #known-issues message
but you're saying ptb though 🤔 idk if regular discord has a 64 bit? the post is confusing to me now 
I wanted to start streaming on a second Youtube channel so I logged out of my main channel and I was able to stream but not by scheduling a stream and now I'm unable to login to Streamlabs Youtube.. I just click the login button and it does nothing. Anyone ever have this issue?
yes it is 64bit by default, but i already have 64bit version installed but still not working, but PTB does... SO weird lol
Discord isn't 64 by default. it's 32
I just checked that (which is weird that it's by default 32)
on website homepage: arch=x64
🤷♂️ maybe my stuff is jank. i did the download and it was a x32 bit
64 bit would say x86
got the same 😉
Heya folks. Just a quick one. A friend is trying to set up game captures in SLOBS using the audio capture (beta). I use normal OBS and I can't find the checkbox while helping him. Is this feature for game capture not in SLOBS yet?

Hi, I had the issue of bits looking all winky. I see that it's a known issue and that it's resolved, but it says May 30th. I streamed yesterday and it was still happening. Test bits look like they're supposed to, but on stream look horrendous
Hello can any body help me…. I am using an elgato HD60 S+ for my stream… there is video but no audio…. I do not have an aux cord though… however in the past i never needed one… i am streaming on facebook and im streaming an ipad pro
Hello
Hi, I'm having a problem with Collab cam. I use a green screen in my streams and the background and everything shows up fine when I go live by myself...however whenever I am in a Collab cam...the only thing that comes through is me against a green screen
so my stream elements overlay isnt working for alerts idk why because its ran via browser source anyone able to help me fix it, when I run the alert via stream elements it works fine but when it needs to be pushed into the stream theres no animation but the chat works fine from stream elements overlay as well as my webcam barrier and other overlays in different scenes like a brb tab and starting tab when I switch to those, those work fine its just not pushing into streamlabs.

Hi, Does anyone else have issues which clicking on the back to dashboard button on the Alert Box page? it just does nothing for me (this is in Edge Version 125.0.2535.92 (Official build) (64-bit))
Hi, the streamer that i mod for is having some issues with Streamolabs. He had to change his Twitch password and since then the event list (followers, sub, etc) is not updating in Streamlabs so he does not get any alerts.
He already tried to reconnect Streamlabs to Twitch and even refresh the API Token but nothing seems to fix the issue
The streamer needs to log out and log back in at the Streamlabs web site. To do that they should click their PFP in the upper right corner of the site and choose Log out. If they also use Streamlabs Desktop, they need to log out and log back in there as well: see below image on how to log out/log in with Streamlabs Desktop.
@outer lark
Click the :gear: at the bottom left of Streamlabs Desktop. Then the logout button should be at the bottom left of the popup as shown:
https://i.gyazo.com/d85a0f693148ea5b9e4c6b03d7cbf703.png
Log out of the Streamlabs web site, clear the cache only in Edge for all time, restart Edge, navigate back to the Streamlabs web site, log in, and see if the issue is resolved. I use Edge and can’t replicate this issue.
You can but the functionality isn’t as wide as an alert box variation. Just go to the Chat Alerts module, open up the desired event, and click Add Chat Alert.
Link your discord per the tagged instructions below and then ask again for assistance in the #vip-support channel.
@rugged hare
If you are a Streamlabs Ultra Subscriber or All-Stars member
Link your Discord under integrations for access to our Ultra/VIP roles and private chats
:point_right: https://streamlabs.com/dashboard/#/settings/integrations
:star: upgrade to Ultra here: https://streamlabs.com/ultra?refl=discord
Yes but it shows month in superchat and membership instead of amount and level
That’s why I said the functionality is not as wide as the alert box variation.
HELP i’ve put in a support ticket already but has anyone else had this issue? It won’t let me go live
(hopefully this is the right place to put this)
hi, my mini feed is not updating ive tried everything i can think of logging out, clearing cache, restarting everything but nothing is working
Can you please screen shot the entire Streamlabs Desktop window showing this error?
Refreshing the connection between Streamlabs and the platform should resolve this.
Please follow the instructions exactly in this guide: https://streamlabs.com/content-hub/post/how-to-disconnect-your-streamlabs-account.
Don't skip the log out steps! To log out of the Streamlabs web site, click your PFP in the upper right corner of the web site and choose Log out. See the image below on how to log out in Streamlabs Desktop.
👉 NOTE: **This will not go back and capture any events that were missed. Events are sent over the API once and if they aren't detected that event will never be sent again.
You'll need a new event (new follow on Twitch, new subscriber on YouTube, etc) as verification. I can follow on Twitch or subscribe on YouTube for verification if you like. An unfollow/refollow or unsubscribe/resubscribe won't trigger a new alert.**
👉 NOTE: The guide has sections for the 4 platforms we have full integration with, Twitch, YouTube, Facebook, and Trovo. So only follow the section for the platform you're using.
👉 NOTE: You must not be live when you follow this guide. So, if you’re live, end the stream first.
Log out/Log in: https://i.gyazo.com/d85a0f693148ea5b9e4c6b03d7cbf703.png
👉 IMPORTANT: Once you have completed the guide, go back to the Streamlabs web site https://streamlabs.com/dashboard#/recentevents, click the Live Actions tab, scroll all the way to the bottom and click the Reload Widgets button. Then launch Streamlabs Desktop and log back in there.
guys my chat is ot showing up on my application and my chatbox widget is also not working
What platform are you streaming with?
Are you live with a Public stream? YouTube Chat won't work is your stream is Private or Unlisted.
Are you logged in Streamlabs Desktop or did you connect with a custom ingest using the RTMP URL and stream key?
Let's work one issue at a time please.
custom injest
I dont know how that works by default it was streaming to twithc
so i selected youtube using that
That would be why then. The embedded chat dock and Chatbox Widget would only work if you've connected your YouTube account to Streamlabs by logging in at the Streamlabs web site with your YouTube channel and then logging in Streamlabs Desktop with that same YouTube channel. The Custom Ingest doesn't use the Streamlabs to YouTube API so thus none of our services and widget would work.
so do i have to make a new streamlabs acc?
Do you already have a Streamlabs account?
yes i created a streamlabs acc but at the time of creation i selected twitch
i created my acc using streamlabsid and my google acc
all right i did everything here can u help test it out my acc is lechedesirenas
The log in at the Streamlabs web site with your Twitch: https://streamlabs.com/dashboard#/settings/account-settings/platforms and merge your YouTube channel.
THEN in Streamlabs Desktop, log out, log in with your YouTube, go to Settings > Stream and click the red Use recommended settings button.
my youtube is merged i unmerged twitch
In Streamlabs Desktop, log out, log in with your YouTube, go to Settings > Stream and click the red Use recommended settings button.
Let's double check the refreshed connection real quick.
Please go to https://www.twitch.tv/settings/connections, scroll down to Other Connections, and screen shot the Streamlabs connection please.
I am in settings and there is a list of stream destinations
loggen in using youtube btw
it asked for some permissions during logging in
i clicked allow on all of that
Show me what you see. I still think you're in the Stream to custom ingest section.
That's perfect. Now all you need to do is click Go Live.
okay ill try
chat not showing up in chat box widget and cloudbot commands not working
on youtube it still says connect streaming software
The issue with the embedded chat dock when used with YouTube is a long standing #known-issues 👉 https://streamlabs.com/dashboard#/cloudbot/mod-tools
For Cloudbot, did you add is as a Standard Moderator? https://streamlabs.com/dashboard#/cloudbot/mod-tools. Making Streamlabs a Managing Moderator won't work.
Perfect, thanks for confirming that! Are you using Streamlabs Desktop or OBS Studio?
Great! Thanks for confirming that.
What's not working?
the mini feed i had my friend try following me its still no updating
Was this friend already following you?
the only place it updates is twitches stream manager
no
I added cloudbot as managing instead of standard and i changed it to standard now
Okay, hold on while I get the next steps for you.
the chat thing started warking in chat widget and chat window
thanks for that dear sir/mam
You're welcome! Have a great stream!
now do i have to restart stream for commands to wrok?
Okay thanks for confirming that with the screen shot. You'll need to end your stream to go through these steps.
Okay, PLEASE follow the steps below in the order shown. Don’t skip or rearrange the steps.
-
Go to the Streamlabs web site by clicking on this link: https://streamlabs.com/dashboard#/settings/account-settings/slIDSettingsPage.
-
Create your Streamlabs ID and once that is created, log out of the web site and log in with the new Streamlabs ID. THAT log out/log in is important! Don’t skip this log out/log in!!!
-
Go here https://streamlabs.com/dashboard#/settings/account-settings/platforms and unmerge your Twitch and then merge it back. Then log out of the Streamlabs web site.
-
You will need a never ever before followed you follow as a test.
and why am i not able to log in into this youtube chat window thingy?
With YouTube, you're not able to type in the embedded chat dock, its read only. If you want to type in chat, you'll need to open it in an external web browser.
No. Wait about 10 before trying commands. And make sure Cloudbot is toggled on. This 10 minutes gives enough time for Cloudbot to detect that you are live and join your stream.
Toggle it on and wait at least 10 minutes before trying any commands.
alright done
Okay great, thanks!
Do you have Streamlabs Desktop running and you're logged in with your Twitch?
if u wanna help test it my acc is lechedesirenas
yes
Okay great! Go to the scene with your alert box please and then I'll follow. You should see the alert in the Preview Window and the Mini Feed should update.
And just to double check, you logged in by clicking the Twitch button and not the Streamlabs ID button, correct?
You don't need to be live.
yep!! on the screen now hopefully everything will be all set
Okay great!
Let's go!

YAYYYY I GOT ITTTTT
YAY!!! Woo Hoo!!!
THANK YOU SOO MUCHHHH <333 now to wake my friend to moderate my stream lol
You're most welcome! Have a great stream!
having trouble streaming from my console and managing from pc any tips? i want to play my games on the tv but manage and view my stream from the pc and cant seem to figure out twitch
hi Does anyone know what causes this error?
That can indicate an issue with your Streamlabs account. What were you doing when you were presented with that error message?
Manage how?
I wanted to link with the id but from streamlabs but since that was registered with the twitch login from there I can't access when I tried to unlink and nothing or put another one as main
Were you logged in with your Twitch or your Streamlabs ID?
i have my pc setup which is nothing special but i play on my console and want to monitor and interact with my stream on my pc but dont know how to link my console and pc so i can stream properly the only thing i can do rn is live on twitch with no interaction to the stream
Which console, Playstation or Xbox?
xbox
with twitch
Thanks for letting me know.
There's no way to link Streamlabs Desktop to a stream from a console. With Xbox, you could use our subscription service Streamlabs Console which lets you stream from your Xbox while taking advantage of our services like Cloudbot and our Widgets like the Alert Box.
So you already have a Streamlabs ID but its not linked with the Streamlabs account with your Twitch?
When I log in with streamlabs id when I want to link it to twitch it always gives me an error and it goes into a loop to the main dashboard and I cannot link
Okay, thanks. Please let me know your Twitch channel name.
Let me confer on this with the staff and see if there's anything we can do from this end to try and resolve this.
May I ping you in a bit when I have some more information or questions?
thanks my twitch channel is tonyreel
Thanks!
I get this error when linking, but when I log in to streamlabs with Twitch it gives me an error
The staff would like you to submit a ticket for this: https://support.streamlabs.com/hc/en-us/requests/new. I won't be able to get this resolved for you today in Discord. Volunteers just don't have the access since we're not Streamlabs employees.
ok thanks
You're welcome.
I have an issue, where streamlabs doesnt pick up all the visuals in the game. For example: Hearthstone; all the card visuals are black boxes, the hero power is encased in a black box, the portraits have black boxes. another example: Huntshowdown; I can c the guns, n load outs in the lobby, but everything thats "2nd" layer is black, as if the gamma is set to lowest. in a game, its uber dark. It seems to be varrying different from game to game on how its exactly effected, but its the same issue.
On game capture, if i use DISPLAY capture it looks fine
Then why not use Game Capture if it works as expected? Game Capture is the most efficient of the capture methods.
Game capture has the black boxes. its the display capture that removes the blackness
but for obvious reasons i dont want display capture, cuz it captures it all
The use Game Capture and run the game full screen. Sounds like though you don't want to do that for some reason.
what? u think im not running the game on full screen? where did you collect that bit of data.
Oh I see now, you edited your original comment.
yea
How does it capture with Window Capture?
doesnt detect the game
Okay, try this then.
Use Game Capture, but in the Properties of Game Capture, change the Mode from Auto to Capture any full screen application.
I guess its possible the actual window of display in streamlabs, far off the side, intead of some place i can c it, to where i can manipulate it. Cuz i dont even see like resizing..."buttons" to fill the stream window.
Theres only, bitblt, n windows 10, or automatic
That sounds like Window Capture? Screen shot what you see please.
I need to see the Properties window for this source please.
oh the color setting, was changed to what the screen shot shows during our discussion to c if that was it, but ive changed it back to the sRGB
Hey quick question, for the vertical and horizontal streaming, if i were to do both streams at the same time with the new update would it use double the bandwidth?
And is this correct capturing now or not?
The only thing different is ive changed the color space from rec 2100 to sRGB. cuz it was origionally sRGB before i started any of this.
Capturing any fullscreen. results in the same blackness.
Correct, it would use double the bandwidth.
Uncheck Allow Transparency
yup that was it, thx. how simple was that.
Woo Hoo!!! You're welcome!
Everything is working perfectly now but i have a new question
I logged in in streamlabs controller
and in my google my account section it shows new sign in to android device named nexus 5
is it the mobile application?
help! why is streamlabs not logging in to my tik tok i do have acess but is not logging in , gives me a loading screen but only tik tok i can sucessfully login to twitch and youtube
I cannot connect in Streamlab Mobile
im having issues with streamlabs camera and mic freeze when attempting to adjust settings someone please help
Good evening. Can anybody explain me how i can save a szene to my computer and load that szene again when i log out and login with another twitch account for example? Or have i set up the szenes always new?
To manually save your scene collection you can do so in the gear icon for settings > Scene Collections > Export Overlay File.
This will give you a file that you can save and put anywhere.
When logging in with a different account in Streamlabs Desktop, you can use the import overlay file in the same location to load that same file.
Thank you very much!!! Safed my life 🙂
@gritty isle will it export all created szenes at this moment or only the szene which is choosed?
And what means Designer-Mode?
I'm having a problem with switching accounts
Sometime ago i made a YouTube account but sense then that account is now deleted and i have a new Youtube Channel, Streamlabs has made that account the primary on the website and the application but i stream on twitch and its not been an issue until now.
When logging out of twitch in Streamlabs to switch to YouTube it defaults back to the old channel that doesn't exist and trying to change the account that is linked doesn't fix the issue either because it still defaults back to the original YouTube channel.
heres a short video
You're welcome. It will export only the current Scene Collection. If you have more, make each one active and export them each.
Hi, I can't log in with the tiktok option. It doesn't allow me to do it either on the website or in the desktop app. I get an error that says "We are unable to log you in at this time". Could someone help me with that?
Edit: Yes, supposedly I have the option to stream with Streamlabs enabled
I've been trying to figure out how to get streamlabs to put donation messages in Twitch's chat. We've gotten name of donator, and amount, but not the message. Is this possible with streamlabs? (cloudbot? chatbot?)
how do i uninstall streamlabs obs camera from my pc
Would anyone be able to help troubleshoot why my desktop client (for Mac) has stopped launching all of a sudden? It seems to think I'm streaming (I'm not) and it refuses to open at all. These are the error messages I get when trying to launch. Thanks!
I have TikTok live, but Streamlabs is denying me using Streamlabs to livestream to TikTok. Anyone else had this issue?
I previously had this approved so I am more confused on why I have to reapply just to use Streamlabs when I can already use TikTok live studio.
I’m currently having the same issue.
I'm having a similar issue on Mac (M1) where Streamlabs desktop won't open and I keep getting this error message. I've been trying to find solutions but I keep finding solutions for windows. Wasn't having any issues recently until now
FWIW, I also have an M1 Mac, so perhaps isolated to those models? Unsure. I can't find anything online either. I've also tried restarting and reinstalling from scratch 😔

I really hope whatever it is gets resolved soon!
still really need a fix to this
I have a question that could relate to the problem. Did you guys happen to have a source capturing video from desktop? I was messing around with it before I started having the same issue so I thought what if that is somehow the cause for the problem
I'm having the same problem on an Intel Mac, happened as soon as it downloaded 1.16.7 today.
No desktop capture for me, but it also happened after 1.16.7 was downloaded.
Yup, I was just getting ready to stream, nothing else happening, fired it up, it auto-downloaded and died ... repeatedly. Tried the usual restarts, etc., nada.
Hello. I am VERY new to this. I bought a custom overlay for my stream. It's a PNG image. I can not seem to use it. Do I have to convert it to a .overlay file?
I am trying to use these 2 buttons, but absolutely nothing happens when I click them. If i click them a second time, I get an error that reads "upload already in progress" when I haven't started uploading anything. Any help would be appreciated.
Ok well it’s good to know that wasn’t the issue. I also started having issues after it auto downloaded 1.16.7 so I guess it’s an issue with that
So I’m trying to login into my stream labs but it said that it failed to start and now I downloaded another stream labs and it said the same thing any ideas?
Same, hoping there's a fix soon.
Yah it’s kinda frustrating to think I might have to get a new one and I don’t have the money for it
I was using it yesterday so I don’t get why is it doing it today
just want to report that membership alerts arent working on YT. at the moment other things like superchat work but memberships are broken right now
Question. its not really support and more how to do something... im trying to stream to twitch and tiktok...i currently have my layout that goes to twitch but thats set up for twitch... can i have multiple layouts for multiple streams? so if im streaming to both my one layout will go to twitch and another can be set up for tiktok/view on phone? and how i can have both set so that both show on stream labs
Check out Dual Output: https://streamlabs.com/content-hub/post/streamlabs-desktop-dual-output-how-to
So the same stream disconnects three weeks in a row? I'm not sure how that's even possible.
for some reason when i try running stream labs it just bugs out and gives me an error
There's a specific scene I want to download, but it requires Ultra. If I pay for one month to download the scene, then cancel it after the month, will I still be able to use the scene for my stream?
I feel like something is limiting me and I don't know what
for some reason when i try running stream labs it just bugs out and gives me an error
i have a MacBook pro and im havin the same issue uninstalled 3 times
im having issues with switching accounts
Been seeing this a bunch today, it looks like streamlabs 1.16.7 upgraded one of its dependencies (realm.js from 11.x to 12.x) which breaks on older versions of macos (definitely anything older than 12.7 Montery, so if running an M1 on big sur still for sure going to be an issue, may break on older dot versions of newer macos like Sonoma as well). Making sure macos is upto date is likely the fix at the moment.
(You can confirm this is indeed the issue I’ve seen by looking at ~/Library/Application Support/slobs-client/app.log there will be an error that shows up in there after you launch streamlabs and it crashes that says it couldn’t load realm.node due to missing symbol)

my sources don't show up on the list when i add them so i cant edit them, any help?
If go here https://streamlabs.com/dashboard#/settings/account-settings/platforms on the Streamlabs web site (log in with your Twitch), what YouTube channel is there?
You mention when you log in with your new YouTube channel, its the Primary. Going here https://streamlabs.com/dashboard#/settings/account-settings/platforms and logging in with that new YouTube channel, do you see your Twitch merged?
It sounds like you may have two different Streamlabs accounts.
What version of Streamlabs Desktop do you have and is this on Windows or Mac?
Membership variation not working as expected it shows default one every time how do i fix that?
The old YouTube channel is there.
When i login using my email to my main channel it will revert back to the old YouTube channel that no longer exists.
My twitch isn't merged but i can merge it now.
I wouldn't be surprised of i had two accounts, ill merge my twitch account to this new account and test streaming on it now.
In alert box i tried both variation like membership level is and level name is but variation not appearing at all
When I try to go live it's loading only not going live
Is the start up issue fixed? I’m a little disappointed that I haven’t seen a solution yet.
No
It's loading only not starting live
I almost waited for 1 hour
Anybody please find a solution for my problem
I can confirm that upgrading from Catalina to Monterey fixed the problem, and streamlabs loaded after the update just fine. Running an Intel chip.
Hello I got a issue, discord isn't showing me as streaming even tho I am, i tried to reconnect my acc etc but nothing has helped can you tell me what to do please?
You'd need t reach out to Discord on that. Discord is not properly detecting that you're live streaming.
https://support.discord.com/hc/en-us/articles/218485407-Streamer-Mode-101

Thanks for saying what worked for you! I’m going do it right now. hope it works!

hi! encountering a bit of a problem where when i log in. I use my information on the website, i get brought to two different accounts. If i log into the site, i get my ultra account, if i log into the app, i get my tiktok end with a 500 error when i try to link the two accounts, any ideas?
My bot isn't working for the giveaways?
-Bitrate stuck at 2,000 kb/s & Dropping frames-
Hi, I have a net speed of 1,000Mb Download / 100Mb Uploads.
No crashes or jitters - stable and consistent.
Trying to go live with 4,000-6,000 Bitrate.
All settings are correct, checked 1,000 times.
Don't know what's wrong
I would appreciate some help what it could be from people who experienced the same and solved it.
I feel like there is something who limiting me and I don't know what is it.
The stream worked for me *once (for straight 3 minutes) very very well and I stopped the live, day after - I was going to go live and again couldn't reach above 2,000+- kb/s and a lot of drop frames again.
can't find solution.
Would appreciate help
DM me
Thank you.
Dropped frames is a network issue. Usually between you and the ingest. Are you perhaps streaming to Twitch?
Still no luck going live..
Contemplating uninstalling and reinstalling but I don’t want to lose all my slides. Maybe switch to OBS 
What platform are trying to stream with?
Do you have a verified email address and phone number on your Twitch channel and have successfully enabled 2FA?
Mhm! I’ve also tried resetting my stream key
Have you changed the color space settings or the Recording Path in Streamlabs Desktop?
I haven’t really changed anything before this has occurred. So i’m not sure what/where the color space settings are
I haven’t been live for a couple months but i’ve also taken a hiatus before been able to reopen slobs and everything work
Do you
Only stream
OR
Only record
OR
Both stream and record
?
Yes, on Twitch, that's really weird since my Internet is stable & consistent..
only stream, i don’t save anything outside of what twitch does
Let's run the Twitch Tes; see tagged post below.
Select Medium or Long Duration and select all the ingest in your region. Only have the Twitch Test running. Don't have anything using your upload bandwidth.
@brisk raft
Please run this twitch test tool to find out the best server (https://r1ch.net/projects/twitchtest). Be sure to run the test for either Medium or Long, as short won't give you the most accurate results and be sure to select your region from the listed options (if the regions are not applicable to you, please select 5-6 servers that are near you). You're looking for at least a quality of 84.
Once you've found a good server go to Settings > Stream > Stream to custom ingest and you can manually select your server.
From Streamlabs Desktop, please screen shot the following Settings ⚙️ : Video and Output (if you're Output Mode is Advanced, screen shot both Output -> Streaming and Output > Recording).
Twitch is definitely being blocked somewhere between you and the Twitch ingest. You'll need to contact your ISP and explain to them that you're trying to live stream to Twitch and can't connect to the Twitch ingest (server). This will likely be difficult to track down and might take a while to resolve.
You could verify that Streamlabs Desktop is allowed through your firewall but that's not a guaranteed fix: https://streamlabs.com/content-hub/post/how-to-open-your-windows-firewall
Are you on a Desktop PC or a Laptop?
I am trying to find some info on the cloudbot. I am trying to a command like {readapi.https://mrboostlive.com/spotify/add_to_queue.php?user=&song_name=$(querystring)}
i am using !queue broken - pantera for example. and the bot is only getting "broken" and not the entire message
You can find all the Cloudbot variables here: https://streamlabs.com/dashboard#/cloudbot/commands/variables.
What are you expecting to appear in querystring?
The command i am using is !queue broken - pantera
What i am expecting is broken - pantera. When i check my log its just broken
So you want anything after the command, queue to be sent?
correct
Can be done but its not very elegant.
You need to use the {arg) variable. (see image)
But, ideally, you'd want the viewer to put the argument in quotes so then it could just be reference by {1}.
whew. ok. thanks for the info
You're welcome.

if i try to unmberge my YT account say i will not have ultra
im confused
Desktop PC
It's going to be hard explaining to the ISP's customers support what I'm really talking about. but I'll try 🤷🏽♂️
i have an account i have email and if i try make accoutn say email was taken
If you go here https://streamlabs.com/dashboard#/settings/account-settings/slIDSettingsPage, does it show you have a Streamlabs ID?
yes my email that is accoiceted with current yt account i want to not be under ultra
Yeah, its difficult for sure. Most ISP tech's hear the word 'streaming' and think you're trying to watch Netflix.
Okay, great. If you log out of the Streamlabs web site by clicking your PFP and choose Log out, and then log in with your Streamlabs ID, you should be able to unmerge your YouTube and then merge the one you want.
Hello I need some help please, I was streaming last night via You tube after the streamed ended I went to play it back it wasn't capture game audio only my voice was being capture and some background noises. could someone help me?
From Streamlabs Desktop, screen shot Settings ⚙️ > Audio please.
I use the headset for listening and my mic is the Yeti
did that still tells me
And you're logged in with your Streamlabs ID?
yes
Still getting this after having streamlabs support help
Okay, go ahead and click Cancel and hang on a bit while I see if there is a response on what's up with the VIP Support channel.
The email address is the same for both my Ultra account and my current YouTube channel, which I don't want to be my primary account for Ultra. They had to switch it on the backend previously when I did this with Twitch in 2021.
So you played back the live stream on YouTube and discovered this or you went to live stream again and had this audio issue?
go it now
I played the stream back and it wasn't picking up the game audio it was only my voice that was being picked up. I had this issue before in the past it was able to be fixed not sure what the problem is now.
Yeah #vip-support is fixed now. 
Do the bars in the Mixer for Speakers (USB Razer Sound Card) move when there's audio from the game?
Is your ticket still open?
no
do you mean this?
Yes, and also need to see Settings > Video please.
Thanks. Back to Settings > Output, please scroll down and screen shot the Recording section.
Thanks! One more screen shot please, in Settings, go to Advanced > Recording and screen shot that please.
Okay, thanks. That seems good. Let's check the Color Space setting. Its in Advanced as well.
Okay thanks. At Settings > Output, uncheck these two options, click Done to save the settings, restart Streamlabs Desktop and let me know if you can go live.
nope :/

Let's perform a clean install of your GPU drivers and see if that helps.

hey, sorry to pop in, does anyone know how to fix my streamlabs not opening properly, it just gets stuck on this grey screen
it opened fine the other day and now im trying to use it it updated and now wont open? 😭
I believe so
If you reboot your Mac, does that help or not?
I'll try! hold up
Okay, then please keep working with the staff through the ticket. They prefer that rather than getting duplicate or conflicting advice from here. And also, I don't have a Mac so I can't troubleshoot this locally anyway.
Okay! Doing it now
Ok thank u but could it be that it is an old version of Mac I cant operate it?
Omg that worked 😭😭😭 thank you I’ve been trying to fix this for 2 hours I’d done everything except “have you tried turning it off and on again”
Anyone able to help me out, thanks! Was working fine, streamed today for the first time in ever, afterwards I have attempted to start a recording and have gotten this error.
Im pretty lost
My IRL work day has ended so I'll be heading home shortly so I won't be able to respond whilst I'm driving. I'll try and check back when I get home later.
YAY!!! You're welcome! 
Okay, thank you!
You're just trying to record or trying to go live again?
I am trying to just record, so pretty confused why its got something going on with youtube
In Streamlabs Desktop, log out, restart Streamlabs Desktop, and then log back in and then see if you're able to start a recording.
@void cargo
Click the :gear: at the bottom left of Streamlabs Desktop. Then the logout button should be at the bottom left of the popup as shown:

Okeedokee
Sorry for posting again, but I never got an answer. I have TikTok live, but Streamlabs is denying me using Streamlabs to livestream to TikTok. I was previously approved and have 0 violations. How do I fix it?
Nope, getting a different error now
Do you have a verified email address and phone number on your YouTube channel?
Yes I do, I think it might have to do with my streamlabs account.
If you go to YouTube Studio https://studio.youtube.com/, click Settings (lower left), then Channel, then Feature eligibility, are three sections Enabled?
You'll have to reach out to TikTok. Only TikTok controls this approval; Streamlabs has no control or input over this process.
Yes that is all enabled.
What makes you think its your Streamlabs account?
I was previously approved and TikTok is saying it’s a streamlab disconnect or something. Idk how that whole partnership works
If you go here https://www.tiktok.com/falcon/live_g/live_access_pc_apply/result/index.html?id=GL6399433079641606942&lang=en-US, what does it show?
Just a hunch as I for whatever reason after 3 years of use I didnt have a streamlabs id.
So, you created your Streamlabs ID?
The question is what should I really explain to them, what should I request them to do? because they defiantly won't understand what I mean.
What action they actually got to do to solve the issue?
I did, I have contacted streamlabs support in hopes
Just explain that you’re trying to love stream to Twitch and you can’t connect. I can’t say what action they would take to resolve this as I have no idea what the issue is. It’s definitely not an issue with Streamlabs Desktop.
Apparently this is a new ish issue that multiple people have reported. I get to be a guinea pig now.
Okay, I did the thing!
Hi guys, super quick question, but has anyone had issues with the stream labels not updating in OBS for them? on streamlab's website, they update for me, but not for the text files on my PC. I hope this wasn't answered already, I tried quickly looking around on discord and couldn't find anything
And did that help?
there’s a windows update but my computer isnt registering that i have a 2nd monitor
@gritty isle For youuuurrr knowledge, yeah its a newer issue they are seeing among users and they basically gave me a temp solution that wipes your cache for the app 🥹
Did you reboot after the clean install?
Huh. 🤔
Yes, i’m going to restart after my windows update
streamlabs console is causing my streams to stop working like 5 minutes in. I really need a fix to this, i literally cannot stream.
@gritty isle OMG thank you!!! i must have installed a driver or something that messed it up. That's the only thing I can think of that I did recently but your troubleshooting helped!
Yay!!! You’re welcome!

I use Tip Ticker, the same person donated but it is not merged, it is divided into 2 lines, while the rankings are correct, help please
hey how do i get verified
All the information I have is here: https://streamlabs.com/content-hub/post/verification-for-tipsdonations-via-credit-card
If you look here https://streamlabs.com/dashboard#/tipping/history/tips, does it show as one tip or two tips?
It shows 2 lines because the donation time is different, but if it's the same, it should be combined into 1 line. I'm using OBS Studio and it also shows 2 lines like that.
That’s the correct behavior of the Tip Ticker. It won’t combine tips based on the name.
Do you use anything else besides Tip Sticker, because I see people using this but I don't know what it is?
We only have the Tip Goal and the Tip Ticker. I have no idea what this other widget you posted. It maybe from another service.
alright so streamlabs won't start for me
basically the window wasn't opening, so I deleted and redownloaded the app and now it keeps doing this
Please reboot your account and see if that helps.
Restarting my computer didn't help
How do I do that?
Dang autocorrect. Sorry.
I know several Mac users reported issues like this earlier today. Please submit a ticket here: https://support.streamlabs.com/hc/en-us/requests/new
thanks
You’re welcome.

hello, I am trying to merge my tiktok account to my streamlab account. everytime i press on merge nothing happens. I tried to use a different browser, I also tried removing the access from privacy settings in the tiktok app and merging the accounts again but nothing is working for me. Additionally I tried to log in into streamlabs using my tiktok account but I get the "we are unable to log you at this time" pop up on the top corner. Note: I already have tiktok live studio access and I also applied for the application & got approved
First off, if your default web browser is either Chrome or Opera, I'd switch the default web browser to either Microsoft Edge or Firefox (Windows) or Safari or Firefox (Mac).
- Quit Streamlabs Desktop.
- Press the Windows key on your keyboard or go bottom left and click the Windows logo.
- Search for "default apps". It may be different in Windows 10 and Windows 11.
- Find the default apps section.
- Change your default browser to a new browser. For example, if you're currently on Chrome, you'll want to change it to Edge or Firefox. (Screenshot for reference: https://prnt.sc/48ZdLCQCgi8D)
Then go here: https://www.tiktok.com/falcon/live_g/live_access_pc_apply/result/index.html?id=GL6399433079641606942&lang=en-US
If it shows your approved for Live on Streamlabs, then go ahead and launch your web browser and attempt to merge your TikTokl again.
What is the approved level?
When setting up stream labels, Im trying to get a list set up where each name is on a separate line. \n used to work for this, but for some reason it only creates one new line with one name on first line and the rest of the list are on the 2nd line. Any way to fix this?
If your request was approved by TikTok for Live on Streamlabs, it should appear like this:
Live for TikTok Studio is different and that on;y grants you live streaming access from the TikTok Studio app. That doesn't give you live streaming access in Streamlabs.
Are you using the Streamlabels Widget in Streamlabs Desktop or are you using the standalone Streamlabels application and adding it as a Text Source?
I tried edge, chrome and firefox. I still get the same problem when I press merge tiktok account nothing happens and when I press on connect it gives me the "we are unable to log you at this time" pop up. note : my access status on tiktok is approved just like the picture you attached
I was using the widget in slobs, had the problem so I downloaded the standalone and had same issue. I did just add a text source and chose the correct txt file from the streamlabels folder and it put it on screen the way I want it. Thank you so much!
Perfect! You're welcome!
Do you have any special characters in your display name on TikTok? If so, that is likely causing this issue.
I want to be verified to put my credit card
All the information I have is here: https://streamlabs.com/content-hub/post/verification-for-tipsdonations-via-credit-card
its telling me that I need to reach the approved level what is the approved level?
I don't have any other information. If you need clarification, please submit a ticket: https://support.streamlabs.com/hc/en-us/requests/new
omg... yes this was the problem, I had emojis in my name xD now my problem got solved. Thank you so much ^^
You’re welcome!
Hey, I'm wondering if it's possible to record my webcam and game feed on separate tracks while streaming to make editing easier? I know there's a way to do it while recording using a splitscreen type setup.
Audio, yes.
Video, no.
@scenic dew Want to split your audio? Maybe you don't want the stream to hear your discord, music, etc..? This is possible using Streamlabs Application Audio Capture sources! See the link for various setup guides: https://streamlabs.com/content-hub/post/how-to-use-application-audio-capture
Hello, I can't seem to get chat box to work. I've tried with regular OBS, and streams (originally streamed with OBS). I can put the you tube chat in my stream using the pop out link from you tube, but it's hard to read and I would like to use the stream labs version. I've tried these steps: #1239076130334707802 message
I've also noticed it does not show up when I launch the chat box with stream labs.
Hello, I can't donate. After I enter my card details and click “pay”, the message “something went wrong” appears.
If you're using Streamlabs Desktop, you want to add the Chatbox Widget in order to have your stream chat on screen during the stream.
And with YouTube, you have to be live with a Public stream. Chatbox won't work with a Private or Unlisted stream.
If your using OBS Studio, you can add the Chatbox Widget as a Browser Source. Just grab the Widget URL from here https://streamlabs.com/dashboard#/chatbox.
We can't assist with money issues in Discord due to the privacy and security of your confidential information. Please submit a ticket here: https://support.streamlabs.com/hc/en-us/requests/new.

You're welcome.
Thank you I will see if my chat appears next time I am live.
You're welcome.

Какое решение делает игру захвата экрана слишком высокой мс?
Hey there whenever I tried streaming on android it just stayed on this screen the game audio worked only but it just stayed on that screen
Hey, my audio levels are low on Streamlabs. Each time I go live, it's sounding low, despite me having good levels. What's going on. Do I need to redownload Streamlabs?
U can look stream platform on other devices ur stream running but ur streamlabs mobil looking this
streamlabs will not open for me, starts to load then crashes, i'm on windows 10
@coarse escarp We have troubleshooting that covers everything crash-related here: https://streamlabs.com/content-hub/post/streamlabs-desktop-crash-troubleshooting-guide
Good afternoon all! Starting on Thursday, suddenly all of my Browser Source content, including my built in SL-created alerts for things like follows and donations, but also stuff like content from SoundAlerts and some Virtual Camera content, all just...stopped working.
It seems like it may have coinsided with Twitch's change to Channel Points, but today I realized even clicking "Test Widget" for things like Follows was only playing sounds, but not displaying any visuals at all. It seems to have happened mid-stream on Thursday night (between 6 pm and 9 pm PST if that helps).
Does anyone have any idea what may be causing this and how to fix it? Every setting looks normal in SL, and I've already done the usual restarts / check for updates / refresh browser cache steps.
Tried all the trouble shooting things and still not working and I can’t report fixes…. I get this
Now this popped up
I did a stream today, I had audio working in streamlabs but no audio through the actual stream on twitch?
I checked my tracks and they are correct. I had twitch VOD track enabled so I can remove music from the VOD and that is setup correctly as well so idk what is going on.
hello there, i have a important question regarding Streamlabs Charity:
so, viewers have donated to my Charity and selected rewards. however i can only find a feedback to the rewards that need an shippment adress. where do other rewards show up, so i can actually give people the Reward
I've been really struggling to figure out stream labs I used OBS studio for a long time and then had a lot of issues with it over the last few months. Two main questions. Is there a way to consolidate the different chats when I'm multi-streaming? Like I'm just not sure how to be able to see the different chats that I'm streaming to while also being able to play the game if that makes sense.
The other question and slightly less important one is I'm using a scene where it says like media links so like a link to my Twitter to my YouTube to whatever and I can't seem to figure out how to edit those text boxes to include those links.

Ok, so my situation is a bit “complex”
How would I be able to get discord voice calls and have that audio appear on twitch, because I’ll be in a VC with friends and try and stream and only my audio is heard none of my friends audio is heard. I’ve been told streamlabs is the easiest program to use so I thought y’all would have the answers for my question. I just want to be able to have my discord VC audio be picked up onto Twitch
Hi, quick question: My Macbook is too old to upgrade to MacOS 12, is there any chance I can downgrade Streamlabs Desktop to the previous version that still worked? Thanks.
I was recently invited to a shared access account, and every time I go into his account it says finish setting up your account. It then asks for your birthday, so i put a birthday in and i get an error. Can someone please help
I understand you’re connecting to your friend’s account via shared access, but do you specifically have a Streamlabs account?
Yes
Okay. And you can log into your account just fine?
yup
In the onboarding when you connect via shared access, is there a button called Skip?
when i click on access account
thats the screen i get and i put in a birthday and thats what i get
Ah, thanks for that screen shot.
Are you using Chrome or Opera?
microsoft edge
Interesting. Let me see if I can ask the staff about this. Considering is getting late on Saturday, I can’t guarantee a quick response. Am I reply or ping you in a bit?
ok
i have an issue, my scene collections overrode some changes i was doing. I have the old json.bak files before the changes however i cannot get streamlabs to use them instead of the current one
any ideas?
The staff would like for you to submit a ticket on this shared access issue: https://support.streamlabs.com/hc/en-us/requests/new. Please attach that screen shot you shared above.

hi there i cant login with my twitch account on streamlabs desktop what should i do ?
Does the button for Twitch not work or is there no button for Twitch?
It doesn’t work
Having issues logging in/the login button is unresponsive?
Your default browser in Windows is causing issues with logging into Streamlabs Desktop. The login popup relies on the default browser set in Windows, so you won't be able to log in if it's blocked. Follow these steps to fix it:
- Press the Windows key on your keyboard or go bottom left and click the Windows logo.
- Search for "default apps". It may be different in Windows 10 and Windows 11.
- Find the default apps section and close Streamlabs Desktop
- Change your default browser to a new browser. For example, if you're currently on Chrome, you'll want to change it to Edge or Firefox. (Screenshot for reference: https://prnt.sc/48ZdLCQCgi8D)
- Once you've changed this, reopen Streamlabs Desktop and see if the same issue occurs when attempting to log in.
You’re welcome.
Last night, I could not go live. I used to be able to. Now I am getting a mysterious “failed to connect error”. I have tried resetting my Twitch connection in stream labs several times and still get it. I was able to play multiplayer civ and upload test was fine. I tried making a ticket last night but the app was down. Any suggestions?
Does anyone know what to do to find logs or what I can do? I tried googling and the suggestion I found was reset your twitch connection in the app which I did about 4 times.
I can check back late tonight and try what's asked I'm just kinda bummed I couldn't make a ticket.
Also by "app was down" I mean I filled out the ticket a few times, but when I pressed submit it just took me back to the ticket with all my details filled in. I tried on two browsers.
I'm willing to email a no response email with everything in the ticket, I'd just like some help or a log directory to look at or something.
for the twitch test did you actually paste in your stream key? If so, i would probably regenerate it > relog in Streamlabs and try again. Cause right now inf you're getting failed on a third party thing (which the twitch test is) something is mess up in general
- Yes. I put in a ticket to twitch and their response was a problem with the software. 2) How can you regenerate a twitch key? I just took it from my dashboard.
in your creator dashboard where you find your stream key you can press the reset button
and you relogged in streamlabs?
I tried the twitch bandwidth test app first
Nothing new since last sunday but I'll try flat disabling it. It'd be just whatever windows has
i mean, if you don't have any vpn/antivirus or whatever then that wouldn't be it. You could try hard resetting your router (so basically turning it off, waiting a few minutes, turning it back on again)
Trying that now.
It still failed. Is there a way to get logs to try to build another ticket for twitch? Or a way to bring the ticket app for streamlabs back online?
Hi, quick question. Is it possible to stream with a custom resolution on Streamlabs? I'd like to stream with 1600x900
You can set the output resolution to whatever you want.
Where at?
I don't know, you would need to ask the streamlabs team about that. however, you could also try following this: https://streamlabs.com/content-hub/post/how-to-disconnect-your-streamlabs-account then making sure that you log into your twitch account. But from what I've read online this is mostly an internet or twitch side issue.
You could also try binding your IP like they have in their guide here 🤔 https://streamlabs.com/content-hub/post/troubleshooting-going-live-issues-in-streamlabs-desktop
In Streamlabs Desktop, click the ⚙️ icon in the lower left to bring up Settings. Then click Video then there you can set the Output Resolution.
It shows me only a set number of resolutions, no chance of typing in my own
Interesting. I thought you used to be able to type in there. Maybe that's changed.
Is that no longer possible?
Let me check on that. May I reply to you later if I have more information?
Yea sure
Thanks.
Okay, its not evident, but if you scroll down in the Output Resolution drop down menu, the very bottom option is Custom and with that selected, you can enter your custom resolution.
Tried those too. Not sure what else there is but I have to be somewhere in an hour and half
So I'll have to try later and hope the ticketing comes up between then
yeah, that's tough. I guess you could try using a custom RTMP URL and Stream key to see if the same thing happens 🤔

Hi anyone can help me ?
there is a 5 you can't do more
or is there only a five as an example and can upload more than live notification
Can you screen shot the whole application window please so I can better understand.
With?
Stream labs ultra when I go live multi streaming doesn’t work for chat it only shows twitch I have to check others from phone
it's about getting Twitch live notifications for discord if you allow more than just five I can get more people to you who will then use this bot because many are looking for an alternative
There should be a link at the top of the embedded chat dock that says Multistream Chat. Click there.
Also, thank you for being a Streamlabs Ultra subscriber! 
Please link your discord per the tagged instructions below and gain access to the VIP Support channel, which is one of your subscriber benefits.

bro stream labs just stopped working for me😔
My badage gone again
What happened?
so streamlabs was getting an update
and then it said this
Streamlabs Desktop failed to start. Please try launching Streamlabs Desktop again. If this issue persists
i relaunch it keeps giving me that error
Okay, sorry about that. Please reboot your PC to clear out any possible stuck Streamlabs processes and then don't try and launch Streamlabs Desktop but rather:
- Go to the Streamlabs web site and download a fresh installer.
- Run the installer as administrator. No need to uninstall first!
- Let it install over your existing installation.
- At the end of the installer, don't let it launch Streamlabs Desktop.
- Quit the installer and reboot your PC again.
- Once your PC is back, launch Streamlabs Desktop and let me know what happens.
alright
thanks!
You're welcome!
so i went on my administrator account and it gave me the same error when i tried installing a fresh installer
i give up for the day ive been trying all i day i need a break

In your screen shot, Streamlabs Desktop is only using 21% of your CPU. Since the screen shot is highly cropped, I can’t see what else is using your CPU.
If you’re concerned about the 21% usage, I’d create a new scene collection, not just a new scene, and see how it goes. If the usage is more acceptable to you, recreate your scenes and sources from scratch in the new scene collection.
for only 4 programs running 21% is too high
before the update it took way less cpu space back in 2020
i wonder if windows now counts kernel cpu usage as belonging to the process that initiated it? that'd explain the sudden "increase"
just wondering, i hit transfer for my tips, says it takes 24h to transfer, but still shows it as available, it isnt under pending transfer is this normal?
Is there a way for a host of a Colab Cam session to switch between the guest's cam and screen share? I'd like to be able to flip between these sources during a stream as needed. Currently, we can only find a way for the guest to change what source is visible within the Colab Cam scene in my host session. Is there no way for the host to choose which source from the guests is displayed?
Roblox added an anti cheat feature last year that broke the ability of Game Capture to work. You'll need to use Window Capture.
- add a new Window Capture source
- select Roblox from the window list
- change the Capture Method to "Windows 10"
On Windows 10, you will see a yellow border around the game which cannot be disabled. This is not visible in your stream and can be ignored
Hey, so I'm currently multistreaming, and everything but YouTube is working fine. YouTube, however, just scheduled the event and never started it. If I go to the live control, it asks for me to send data from my streaming software. What could I do to fix this? I'm currently using OBS Studio with the Streamlabs Plugin

Hello, i came back to streaming after a few months and I have that problem, that I just have a blackscreen or "looking for a game to capture very often when i try to add a game as a game capture or a window capture. I switched the games between fullscreen and windowed. It happens at like almost every game. I never had that issue back then. any solutions to that?
@royal gale ```md
Having issues with Streamlabs Desktop not capturing and just getting a black screen?
- After you've added your capture source, the "game" may require to be focused before it will be captured in Streamlabs Desktop.
- This means you will want to start interacting with the "game" for about 5-20 seconds before it will be detected.
- Also try running Streamlabs Desktop as admin and if using Game Capture, try using the "Capture Specific Window" option.
Note: Some games will simply not work with Game Capture and will require the use of Window Capture or Display Capture.
Still not working? See the guides below for desktops [Link 1] and laptops [Link 2].```
:one: PC Desktop users get more detailed information about this at :link: https://streamlabs.com/content-hub/post/black-screen-game-capture-problems
:two: Laptop users should see this troubleshooting guide instead :link: https://streamlabs.com/content-hub/post/troubleshooting-capture-source-issues-on-laptops
But is this a new problem? didnt have that issue in a year.
I am going live for the first time on twitch and TikTok. I have the multi stream set up and am on the multi stream tab but while twitch chat is coming through it is not coming through from TikTok. Is there a fix for this or do I have a setting wrong?
none of those tips is helping me. Im thinking about switching to OBS incase no one has a solution to it.. It always worked. but after a break of like 2 months, it doesnt work anymore..
Streamlabs deskstop will not open. it just says failed to start. ive downloaded it multiple times and got the same thing. What am I paying for?
I’m having trouble with screen sharing on mobile when I try to it just says “attempted to start an invalid broadcast session” anyone know a fix? I’m on iPad
Anyone know how to fix this
My Mic has split up into 3, And now it's no longer working
using an overlay I downloaded from Hexeum called incision. The chat box will truncate messages and so if the message is too long it will not show the whole message. I need the message to wrap the text so it displays in the chat box. Any idea how to fix this?
I finally figured out what is breaking Studio Mode for me, after days of troubleshooting.
It is not compatible with HDR.

can someone help me please I’m getting like a 45 sec - 1 min delay when streaming but low latency is on
🧍♂️
hi there - i'm hoping i've posted this in the right spot, but this is in regards to the Stream Labels program i use alongside Regular OBS when i go live on Twitch, hopefully there are two issues i can address here. They're both pertaining to the specific value created in the text file for "Total Bits Donated on Stream."
-
( 1 ) Twitch rolled out a new concept within the last week called POWER-UPs, where people can donate bits to trigger events in the chat. However, the amount donated per POWER-UP does not add to the Total Bits value as if it was a regular donation, nor does any of the POWER-UP donations show up on other variables. Can this be fixed so the Twitch Power-Ups are considered regular Bits donations and therefore would also be added to the overall total and other variables?
-
( 2 ) I also use Crowd Control on my livestreams, in which I can have viewers spend bits to get Crowd Control coins to contribute to the madness. Those bits don't get included on the Total Bits value, either, but that makes more sense seeing that this information can come from a third party. Is it possible to create this as another variable - where you can keep track of how many bits have been donated for Crowd Control coins? Or is this something CC would have to integrate?
-
( 3 ) This one is more of a suggestion, but could be a helpful tool here. If I have two separate .txt variables, like let's say we have a total number of subscribers for the stream and the total number of new followers, and I wanted to add them together to create a custom variable, can that be an option for Stream Labels users moving forward? I don't know how to take the numerical values of the .txt files created and get them to automatically add and update to a new .txt file for my overlay.
Thanks for reading! Much appreciated.
Why my domain status taking too long to go live? Anyone help?
HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE??????? I merged my account with streamlabs, and it keeps merging with account that is not mine at all, mine email adress but tik tok account that I never seen/used
On TikTok live and normal login, I get to mine account, but on streamlabs when mergin im getting account thats not mine at all...and what is the funniest part it behaves as its loged into that account, Im going insane,wtf is goin on????
Hop over to #vip-support for assistance with that.
thanks
I need assistance with getting everythign to work with streamlabs, PS5, Elgato 4kx, elgato chatlink, and rodecaster duo. any help? cant get all the sound right
Hey @gritty isle I'm starting to make some progress since our last talk, previously "Bandwidth" showed me 'failed' and you suggested to talk with the ISP.
Now it shows me limited bandwidth (It's getting peaked to 1,800 kbps and instantly lowering itself) also getting of course poor "Quality" result.
I am still in communication with ISP, they are trying to monitor the problem, we opened NAT and changed DNS address, we open port 1935/TCP & I am currently trying to talk to them about RMTP protocol and maybe RMTP protocol is not active and they need to activate it. (I don't even know if there is a Enable/Disable to this protocol)
According to my latest TwitchTest can you see a solution to the problem?
Must mention again that my net speed is 1,000 Mb(Download) / 100 Mb(Upload) stable & consistent net without Issues.
My hardware equipment:
RTX 3080 Ti
AMD Ryzen 9 5950X
32 GB RAM
At least it is not failing but please use medium or long duration. Short Duration will give inconsistent results.
🙂
That's progress. I'd engage the ISP again.
And I should tell them that my bandwidth is capped?
Is there such an option like this at all?
After all, I do get 100Mb upload, so how can that be?
I'm really wondering what could be causing this problem.
I think I'm going crazy😭
I don't think it is a bandwidth cap issue.
Hi @gritty isle Can you help me with my issue? where I might be able to get some help? I need assistance with getting everythign to work with streamlabs, PS5, Elgato 4kx, elgato chatlink, and rodecaster duo. any help? cant get all the sound to work right
I don't have that kind of set up. I'd check these guides: https://streamlabs.com/content-hub/post/elgato-capture-card-setup-with-streamlabs-desktop and https://streamlabs.com/content-hub/post/streamlabs-desktop-capture-card-issues-solutions
heya if i got an overlay from streamlabs and put in a screen capture it covers the whole screen can i get it to the background? because rn i cant see the overlay while the screen capture is on.
Thanks sir! its more of the routing the audio, anything for useing a rodecaster duo I can read/watch?
Nothing for that specifically, sorry. You might hit up the Capture Card channel over at the Elgato Discord https://discord.gg/elgato
is this the place for this question or should i ask somewhere else?
Move the capture source to the bottom of the Source list.
you're a hero
Hello Im new here. Trying to figure something out and I cannot seem to find the answer anywhere. I have multiple youtube channels. I signed up for ultra today, however it seems only one channel has ultra. Is there a way to have the ultra on multipe channels? Or would i need to pay for it multiple times a month?

# Are You Having Issues With Performance or Frame Rate Issues?
- Would make sure you have notifications enabled in: Streamlabs Desktop > Settings > Notifications
- Enable all Notifications and set the threshold to about 5% for all 3 notification types
- Once notifications are enabled, start streaming + gaming for about 15 mins or until you get errors/notifications.
# Types of errors/notifications that could be seen while having issues.
- Lagged Frames > Compositor overloaded, commonly high GPU usage.
- Skipped Frames > Encoder overloaded, commonly high CPU usage on x264.
- Dropped Frames > Network issues, try other servers or restart equipment.```:arrow_right: **More Info: <https://streamlabs.com/content-hub/post/dropped-frames-cpugpu-issues-and-improving-stream-quality>**
thanks so much
Where can I put in streaming key?
When you log into Streamlabs Desktop with the platform you are wanting to use, it automatically reads the stream key for your channel; you don't have to specifically enter it for Twitch, YouTube, Facebook, Trovo, X, or TikTok.
If you're using a platform other than those, you have to go to Settings > Stream > scroll all the way down > Stream to custom ingest
ok. But it says I need to conect a streaming program to stream on yt.
How do I do that?
You can ignore that. When you go live from Streamlabs Desktop, it will create an event and use that event. Since that event isn't setup in YouTube Studio, you will see that message in YouTube Studio. Instead, check your channel specifically to make sure you're live.
It wont hurt if the horiontal and vertical have the same stream key for the custom ingest?
Are you trying to live with mutiple streams on the same channel?
what if im tryna be a vtuber

Hi everyone, I am trying to fix my studio mode display and I cannot figure it out. I have the classic Studio Mode layout with the Editor Display across the top. My issue is that the preview of the scene from the scene selector section is not displaying anytyhing, just a black screen. It allows me to click on the scene I would like and when I click on transition, it appears on the live screen on the right but does not show in the preview, the preview screen remains black the whole time. Any suggestions?

Hi there, I'm having an issue where subscriptions aren't showing up in my Recent Events dashboard on Streamlabs, but they are showing up on the Twitch dashboard. This is resulting in no alerts going to the alertbox, even though test subs and real followers still result in alerts. I've seen several other people with this issue, but I haven't found a solution yet. Has anyone figure it out?
Things I've tried:
- Disconnecting and reconnection streamlabs from Twitch (multiple times)
- Refreshing Streamlabs alertbox on OBS
- Checking the filter on the recent events box to make sure everything is enabled.
It really seems like Streamlabs just isn't receiving twitch subscriptions for some reason.
@oak cloud I'm sorry for the direct @ but I'm at my wits end with this issue :( I've tried every troubleshooting step about 10 times and people have wasted 20-30 bucks on subs so far to see if its fixed, but it still isn't. I'd really appreciate some direct help from the tech support team
Hi there! Please be sure not to ping any staff who aren't actively assisting you. I understand the issue is frustrating, and my apologies for the inconvenience. This channel here isn't an official Streamlabs support channel, but if you wanted to reach our team directly for assistance, please submit a ticket here: https://support.streamlabs.com/hc/en-us/requests/new and someone will assist you as soon as soon as they can.
Ah, I'm sorry I thought it was. I actually submitted a ticket as well. Apologies for the ping
bro, I haven't tried thatbro
I submitted a ticket like 4 days ago. Still haven't gotten a responde, and I've mentioned my issue here 5 times
Im at a loss :/
Its frustrating :( are you having the same issue as me?
What issue is it?
I posted it above, subscriptions aren't being shown in my recent events log, even though other events are showing up fine
Oh. My issue is causing me not to be able to use streamlabs at all, if i try to stream with streamlabs it stops working within 5 minutes
😞
Hello,
Apologies if this is something I'm overlooking; but I'm trying to find the auto-optimze feature. I tend to have to use it before each stream or else the stream quality is questionable at best.
In my search for answers I find two responses;
- It Doesn't show up unless youre logged into Twitch on stream labs
Which I am. I have even tried logging out and back in.
- Troubleshooting tips about lowering the stream quality, which for some reason doens't tend to work for me. It's like my bandwidth is inconsistent or something, IDK what that's about.
They didn't get rid of the Auto Optimize button or something... did they?
I was live for the first time on twitch and TikTok last night. I have the multi stream set up and am on the multi stream tab but while twitch chat is coming through it is not coming through from TikTok. It shows a message with the twitch logo before it but nothing from TikTok chat is coming through. Is there a fix for this or do I have a setting wrong?

Anyone know hot to capture my xbox gameplay to streamlabs desktop?
You can't, you'd have to have streamlabs console, which unfortunately isn't free. But streamlabs desktop is for PC specifically.
Unless there's some magical way to beat the system
use a capture card and add a new video source in streamlabs obs
really? damm, cause i setup all my scenes and etc. on desktop.

I did that too 😭
I'm having the same issue
I fixed my issue! If anyone else has this same issue as I was earlier, this is the solution!!
You can just refresh the widgets if you go to the streamlabs website and go to recent events. Then go to live actions then scroll down to refresh widgets.
tried deleting cache settings and I lost all my scenes
Anybody have an idea on why sometimes when I’m switching scenes, even when I’m not live, it freezes up? I have to restart the program. It does it while I’m live too, and causes me to have to end the stream and restart
How can I set up so that I can use streamlabs mobile to stream a mobile game to a voice channel in discord while, using the Streamlabs Ultra scene that I just paid to get a membership for?
I usually screenshare in the Discord vc while gaming, but unfortunately discord doesn't have overlays, so I thought I could use the Streamlabs mobile app to have a stream scene overlay while I'm screensharing in the Discord vc....is this Possible at all?
Has anyone had an issue finding the "tip settings" button on their alert box? It used to be there but its gone now :( I do have my paypal connected under tipping settings
i've seen tutorials using the xbox windows app but its a pain to install to tryout
i need help with my tipping withdrawal, it was set to a bank account thats no longer even open, what will happen to my money?
my streamlabs desktop will not open on my Imac, i had no issues before but havent used it in awhile. I switched over to OBS because it was using up too much CPU, but I wanna do the tiktok live program and it wont even open... I deleted and redownloaded and everything
any help clarifying that the funds will be returned for me to fix.
I'm having an issue where when I close streamlabs and reopen it, some of my images now have paths that lead to the "slobs-client/Media" folder instead of the file paths I specified. This is causing issues as I'm using custom code to change the source of the files I set originally. Does anyone know if there is a way to turn this feature off?
HELP TIA “YouTube is not receiving enough video to maintain streaming”
