Due to a number of incompatibilities with OBS 27.2 and newer, we are no longer able to provide support for instances of OBS with the StreamElements plugin (SE.live) installed.
If you need help with StreamElements products or services, please join their Discord server or submit a support ticket as we cannot provide further assistance here.

i'm in the mood to do something just to see if i can do it. it will involve a windows runtime object. anything i should keep in mind? I'm gonna have to learn how to do async in c++.
Where can i go or do to get something that will show my Follow count, Sub count's on OBS?
I need some help with OBS Websocket. I can't figure out how to change my password. I've tried typing a new password in this field, then hitting enter or OK, and it just has the old password next time I open it. https://i.imgur.com/Kg6Bhvl.png
For that matter, I can't even see what the current password is. I can only see how many symbols it has. This makes it impossible for me to tell third party apps like Triggerfyre what my password is so they can connect.
Nightly builds are available for those who wish to test new features.
Note that they may not be stable and are not digitally signed. The latter may cause game capture not to work with certain games or cause AV software to block some features.

Is there a way to edit the Move Source Transformation filter with the Move Value Filter? When selecting Move Value Type "Typing" and Setting "Transform", I can change it but it only updates when I click on the Move Source Filter...
That is normal software security practice, and in software that takes security seriously the reason the password is never shown is because it can't be shown as it is stored as a hash rather than in plaintext, meaning that it is not recoverable if you lose it, but it is also not easily stealable if someone or some program decides to snoop config files. I don't know how Websocket does it, but what I just described would be common healthy security practice. So similar to online website passwords it is up to the person to remember their own password or use a password manager program or write it down on a postit note or similar, otherwise do a password reset to change the password.
Then store it somewhere or write it down in a secure place to avoid forgetting it again.
If you need to reset the password like this, you'll have to update everything else that is currently using websocket to know the new password also.
I think you misunderstand. Let me re-explain.
here i am typing in a password I want
https://i.imgur.com/BZjECz5.png
and then i hit ok, then I pull the window back up...
https://i.imgur.com/IqfTUBT.png
It is not saving my password. It is reverting to the shorter one.
or it just changes it to look like an 8 character password so people won't know how many characters it really is.
The connection between Triggerfyre and OBS is working now, but I have no idea why it's working now and it wasn't working 30min ago. I didn't change anything. (???)
But since it IS connected, that means that
this window https://i.imgur.com/IqfTUBT.png will show 8 characters as your password regardless of the length of what you've typed in??? Which made me think that it was reverting to the old password!
These are both really weird and unintuitive things to encounter, but maybe this information will help someone else confused, since it's certainly confusing to newcomers
I had considered that, but Triggerfyre had been telling me it wasn't connecting when I put in my password, so I took both these pieces of info as confirmation that it wasn't saving my new PW, at the time
Basically... what Xorshasia said. A lot of password prompt widgets either display asterisks or some other obscured text, and the text shown is not necessarily indicative of the length of the actual password as that would give someone looking over a shoulder information as to the length of the password which in turn makes it easier to configure cracking software to target the information that is known about the password. This is very very common.
Is it that common?? I've got 290 passwords in my password manager and have never encountered this phenomenon
I can see the reasoning for it when you explain it that way. But in a time like this, the connection wasn't working, and the first thing I checked while I was trying to figure out why it wasn't working was if the passwords matched. Since the length didn't match, it made me think that the password I was trying to set wasn't "taking." Hopefully that makes sense
Yes, it is that common.
Over the last 32 years anyway.
standard in UNIX terminal password is to not even show pips for characters
obscuring the length of a password is pretty common
Knowing the actual length at a minimum makes it easier to crack
Seems like a real headache for troubleshooting when logins don't work, though. If there's no button to unhide the password (from pips to plain text), then how can you ever really check what your password is?
(I should note that ctrl C also did not work in this window, so that's out)
hello, i am looking for crt tv/old vhs or anything of that kind of plugins/shaders/filters, do you know places where i could find that?
what is there to troubleshoot though? you can retype that password in websocket as many times as you want so if you think you mistyped, you can retry.
It is an intentional part of security design by the developers of the software who are knowledgeable about security issues and designing a UI where security is more important than convenience. As such, it is not something likely to change towards convenience and away from security in the future for a given program/website etc. as it is based on secure programming principles where security is more important than convenience.
In other words, disliking it or mentally struggling/fighting against it wont change it.
If one cares more about convenience than security, set the password to blank to disable it.
that's the thing, the connection between websockets and triggerfyre wasn't working with zero password set, either. I tried that
I know of a VHS distortion effect, would that help? It's a little awkward to obtain though, since you'd need to join a discord server for a little bit. I saw the tutorial here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NuWKrpNCE1k
maybe someone else here knows of one that's easier to grab
are you talking about the replay thing?
Yeah, though you could use it without the replay, if you're only looking for the visuals.
ah nvm it's a combo of multiple effects
yeah i've seen that
i'll try to see more about it
thanks for the help
OBS Shaderfilter comes with a VHS glitch effect, and I think Exeldro has one also. I ported one from Shadertoy as well.
i installed shaderfilter but i don't get how to open the effect/shader files included with
other than copying the text
ah with shaderfilter plus theres a way to browse for files
A password manager has a fundamentally different purpose from a password verifier, owo.
You don't. This is why people just reset your password rather than telling you what it was.
no i meant that i've got experience with 290 different places I've logged into things, and this is the first time i've seen a password that had a different number of pips than my password length.
this is extra confusion when you realize that when I opened this window for the FIRST TIME, there was a prefab password already in there, that I didn't know what it was, and was 8 characters.
So naturally I would assume that it's reverting to that prefab when i see this 8 character pip taking the place of the PW I typed in
Ohhhh, owo. I remember being startled when I first started using Linux. In Linux, you don't even get the ******** stuff; it just doesn't acknowledge you typing at all. That way people shoulder-surfing can't even tell how long your thing is, but it did make me think my keyboard broke. -w-.
so, is this not a natural thing for me to assume that's what's going wrong, especially when triggerfyre was telling me the connection isn't working when i type that same password in?
...like, why am i the dumb one in this scenario
I dun think you's dumb, owo. These seem like logical conclusions to me.
@glass trail i wish all password input fields showed nothing, then people would freak out about it exactly once, then never again - and also won't have as many password stolen/guessed
I wish they inserted a random amount of astericks, between one and three, whenever you typed. -w-.
is there anyway to toggle scene filters w/ websocket? i use OBSCommand for everything currently but am only seeing a way to toggle source filters, not scene filters.
i see the TriggerHotkeyByName option so I guess I could trigger the hotkey for it but i'm not sure how to actually get the hotkey name. there isn't a command to request any of that information. the example it gives as a hotkey name is ReplayBuffer.Save
NVM GOT IT!

im getting this problem with advanced scene switcher
while its doing a scene transition if i move my mouse across my monitors it breaks the transition and stops doing it forever
and i have to click it to fix it
u guys know what to do to fix or nah
you'll probably need to post screenshots of your macros in order for myself or someone else to properly help.
ok
i had them but they got deleted somehow
i wil have to come back tomorow
Good Moring, I am having problems not seeing my own3d pro showing up in my OBS.
I downloaded and have the sub
After a few weeks of messing around with NoobsCMDR and Voicemeeter Macro Buttons, I created a functional stream deck that doesn't take up any hotkeys. Let me know if this is would be a good thing to make a tutorial out of.
It does change the focus to the macro buttons window when you use it, but I think that's unavoidable.
I'm using the OBS StreamDeck plugin, and I have OBS installed in a different directory from default, the StreamDeck plugin DLLs are in the OBS plugin folder.
The StreamDeck will connect to OBS one time after I restart my PC. Once I close OBS and reopen it, the buttons will no longer work, and selecting a button (in chis case I'm looking at simple change scene buttons) gets stuck with "Waiting for OBS...". Restarting fixes the issue every time, only once.
Does anyone have any idea how I can fix this?
OBS version 27.2.4
StreamDeck version 5.3.1.15197
Win11 22000.832

I would like to set up control of Obs via Streamerbot and would need a websocket server to do so. from the videos I've watched on this, I actually know where I should find this setting, but it doesn't show me there. I use the SE.live plugin for my OBS Studio.

is there a way to pause the and
because when i move my mouse outside of the region while its doing a transition obs breaks forever
until i switch scenese
you could try adding this
thank youy
yeah now its not working at all
how does this app work
my guess i have this guess
i think that the condition is changing during the function thing so it canceled which broke obs
this is not goog
nothing i do seems to be working
man im so close
i did it but its not good
if someone could fix would be super sick
What is the proper MacOS configuration for obs-gstreamer.so plugin? Using this reference for installing and configuring GitHub Fzwoch OBS-GStreamer.so plugin for MacOS. Installed GStreamer MacOS standard and developer versions of 1.18.4 x86_64 packages and using MacOS obs-gstreamer.so v0.3.4. Confirmed gst-inspects-1.0 works great. However, the OBS does not show the GStreamer Sources plugin. How may I investigate this further towards resolution? I do see GStreamer.Frameworks in the Library/Frameworks. This appears to be very close to working with GStreamer Sources component. What else can I research and investigate? Curious this difference, my GStreamer is in /usr/local whilst the reference document shows symlink to /opt/local ? https://obsproject.com/forum/threads/obs-gstreamer.88517/post-515437
hey guys, anyone here use the plugin Tuna?
probably better to ask your actual question.
No, but I just ate a bowl of tuna.
is there a plugin that help me connect my ipad to obs?
no plugin. generally, the best way to capture an external device in OBS is with a capture card.
how can I get that?
a capture card? that would be a device you purchase.
Back in January this year there was preliminary chat from @tacit tanglejam-jordan about building an output plugin that would send audio (only?) to an Icecast server.
I run an online radio station (Balearic FM) using AzuraCast. DJs playing live send their stream to the station via Icecast. Several DJs have expressed a desire to simultaneously send both audio & video to Mixcloud Live.
Anybody have info on whether an Icecast plugin was built? (And, if sending output to 2 destinations as my DJs are seeking would work if it exists?)
i have absolutely zero experience with icecast but this was the first google result on the subject if you haven't seen it: https://pixelist.info/collaborative-streams-using-icecast-obs-and-youtube/
I’ll go poke at that. The article’s instructions are all about video, so I’d have to go figure out content types, etc. Thanks for the tip.
anyone have an experience with advanced scene switcher?
I'm having some difficulty with the video matcher.
can't get it to find either an exact match or a pattern match regardless of what I do.
i like to plugin

yeah i use that feature.
@mortal harbor I've got a loop I'm trying to transition out of into a different animation
Want it to cut to the "outro" clip which I've got in a different scene
When it hits the right frame in a section of the screen
Ain't doing shit though
=/
Switched to pattern, lowered the tolerance to like .05, still nothing.
how long is this pattern you're looking for visible on the screen?
Mmm. It's only a frame, probably. The character doesn't move that much.
It's specifically a position so it doesn't look like the video suddenly snaps to a different frame
advanced scene switcher's pattern detection isn't looking at every frame as that would be a performance killer. if you DM me the loop you're transitioning from and a picture of the frame you want to transition from i can see if i can get it working.
hello there... can i ask something here?
is there any tutorial to create a "dock" or plugin on OBS ? ... i need to add something like this (image attached) it's a scoreboard.
!plugintemplate this is a good starting place for creating a plugin @pine ivy
@pine ivy
A template for new OBS plugins including boilerplate code and CI scripts can be found at https://github.com/obsproject/obs-plugintemplate
thanks a lot :)
@mortal harbor is there any demo video or tutorial about the obs plugin template? (only a question)
not that i know of.
ok, thanks again :)
Anyone knows how to install and configure obs-gstreamer.so plugin for MacOS? I have made great progress at 90-95% completed , the outstanding issue the GStream Source is not visible in OBS Source List.
Hey, does anyone know of a plugin that I can use to press a hotkey to make a 30 second twitch clip? I remember this being a feature on SLOBS (which I'm not using anymore for obvious reasons), but this has been a few years since I've actually streamed seriously
30-60 second twitch clip
The replay buffer is a feature that allows you to keep a rolling buffer of OBS' output for a set amount of time (known as "flashback recording"), which can be saved to disk as a recorded video when a hotkey is pressed. You can enable it via Settings -> Output.
hey can anyone help me out it would be much appreciated every time I try to install a overlay it tells me to download the app to OBS but I've already did that and Im in the tool Ow3d pro and it still prompts the same window?
I know I probably sound pretty dumb asking
You probably want to reach out to Ow3d’s support, since that is where you got the installer
Alrighty thank you for pointing me in the right direction man! and sorry for sounding like an idiot
You’re fine, no worries. This stuff can be tricky
Helllo, i need some help with a plugins for shader filler,
Hello, I am attempting to learn to make a spotlight effect. I was trying to figure out whether to learn Python or C to make a plugin/script. While I was reading up on the limitations of a script, I didn't exactly get a concrete answer as to what those limits are. Would anyone happen to know them?
Depends on what the full effect intends to do. There is already a spotlight effect included with OBS Shaderfilter for example, which if it does what you want requires no programming at all. If it doesn't, it could potentially be modified to extend the functionality. The only reason one would need to use C code or LUA would be if they needed multiple buffers or something more complex than can be done in a single pixel shader.
Hey, anyone knows what plugin is used to move the cams on the left and right?
https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1542295714
An exact time in that video, or a specific clip, would be helpful
at, for example, 02:35:00 :)
Sorry, should've mentioned it :)
I see now, it was super subtle that i didnt notice it at first. I think that is the Scroll filter
Scroll filter is in OBS integrated?
Oh sadly, it seems only to work with pictures, not the cam
I can only find it for Images, not in Camera
Screenshot the dropdown menu for adding filters to the camera source please
Oh, I found it! is it possible that it stops and goes back up again?
And that there are 2 differen cams?
You would need to set up a script or use a StreamDeck or similar to toggle the Scroll filter or the settings in the filter itself to make it stop and start again
For the two cameras going different directions, you would need to make Nested Scenes or use the Source Mirror plugin
As far as I see, it seems like its automatic
The OBS Scroll filter works with any and every non-audio source in OBS, and you can have it scroll horizontally, vertically or both.
yes, "on its own", the Scroll Filter just automatically scrolls. You need a script or similar method of triggering it to pause/speed up/slow down/change direction
without the script, it does whatever you set it to do, and would have to manually adjust. The streamer you linked probably has a StreamDeck or similar product/software that lets them adjust it. They could also be using other automation methods
Okay, thank you!
So, there's no other option than a custom script, right?
Custom scripts, StreamDeck, or Deck alternatives that are either paid or free/open sourced.
There are lots of ways to pull that visual effect off, but most of them are not built-in to OBS, then need to be done with plugins, scripts and/or external trigger methods (deck and the like)
Anyone knows how to install and configure obs-gstreamer.so plugin for MacOS? I have made great progress at 90-95% completed , the outstanding issue the GStream Source is not visible in OBS Source List. I have $PATH included for /Library/Frameworks/GStreamer.framework/Versions/1.0/bin
Is there anything else I need to configure or check or other? Confirmed the gst-inspect-1.0 is workable and good via Terminal.
Using this reference how-to guide.
https://obsproject.com/forum/threads/obs-gstreamer.88517/post-515437
The GStreamer is located at /usr/local whereas the reference guide shows make symlink to /opt/local ? I've tried both locations perhaps I didn't do this right?
Your video just referenced a single moment in time rather than a from x to y of time, so I presume you just want the basic scrolling effect shown, which can be done with cropping plus the scroll effect. If you want to be able to turn the effect on and off at will, then you'd need to set up a hotkey for the filter and trigger it via the hotkey, or by using a Streamdeck or similar software. Even if you were to write your own software, you'd basiclly still be either using a hotkey or websockets, which existing software can already do.
Watching the video from 02:35:00 for a full minute, all I see is a duplicate of the main webcam, which has a color correciton applied to it to make greyscale, then a slow moving vertical scroll with the scroll filter with the option to limit the width range enabled. I don't see any scripting or other special programming necessary to reproduce that.
That streamer also has rounded corners on some of his panes, so he's either using the OBS Shaderfilter rounded_rect shader, or a custom overlay or something. The corners are antialiased though so probably not OBS Shaderfilter as it isn't antialaised.
He's also got some scene transitions that are using move-transition plugin.
I've watched about 15 minutes of the video after the reference point, and I don't see anything so far that requires special programming. It's all stock OBS filters plus available plugins configured appropriately.
I speculate that the rounded corners of his frames are actually a video overlay as it has some animations going on in the black space. Alternatively could be HTML with CSS animation.
Hope that helps.
I have actually attempted to use that spotlight effect, but I would need multiple to work alongside each other, and I had intentions of using either move transition or designating a pattern of movement inside said plugin/script
You can't layer more than two spotlight shaders without it looking off
I can't? 🙂
What doesn't look right about it?
Could fork the shader and make one that has multiple spotlights that are independently controllable.
anyone know when OBS 28 with websocket 5.0 will be released?
Anyone knows why I don't get any audio using Source record plugin?
should go into beta soon.
ok thanks.
I am seeking some advise on setting up NDI within OBS. I have NDI's latest version running on both the game machine and stream machine. I can see the game machine feeds on the NDI studio tool. I can se the NDI feeds in SL. But I can not get them to show up for anything other than local when in OBS.
I did follow the guide from 2017 as it appears to be the latest there is. But that loads an old version of NDI and when the new version was not working I even tried it.
So I can see the NDI feeds on the stream machine. Just not with OBS. That is the one part I am stuck on.
something is wrong with the audio capture plugin
whats happening?
what is
If you're using NDI tools 5, that's why. The polygon isn't compatible with version 5.

HI all, now that Shader Filter has changed i can not apply my VHS filter. Does any one have any solutions or suggestions to get one
You know how there’s things like sound flower, as well as MDI capture I was thinking we could make our own plug-ins similar to what discord has done for Mac so that way you don’t have to at all the plug-ins all you have to do is just download it
!macaudio
OBS Studio for macOS requires a second program to help it capture desktop audio, due to Apple not providing direct audio capture functionality
My understanding is they're trying to work on something for the Mac users.
Are you referring to OBS Shaderfilter, StreamFX's Shader Filter, OBS Shaderfilter Plus? I use all 3, and none of them have changed.
What are you meaning by "changed"?
So I'm in the process of making a Galaga channel point where my camera goes the top and moves left and right like the enemies do in Galaga and twitch chat would control the ship, Left moves left, right moves right and stop stops the ship and they can say fire in chat to fire, I got all that movement figured out but I just don't know how to get something to register a hit, idk if someone knows how to connect a bot to OBS to watch a scene? that would work. or maybe a plug-in any help would be appreciated thank you.
Or if yall have any person that can help me or lead me to the right guy to talk to lmk please.
Hello everyone! is there a plugin to add a mask over face tracking? for example: Face Tracking finds my face, tracks it's position, and keeps an image mask or source over it? like a blur? or black censorship bar?
I would like to add this Dan from Mortal kombat as a twitch redemption, any suggestions how I go about this? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qd40WqNAxKM
@noble sapphire download the video, add Media source, use filter: Chroma Key. play with settings to your liking.
do not have loop checked. and have it turn on with a bot, command, channel point, etc... however you plan to use it.
You hero, thanks very much!!
no worries, i help where i can 🙂
I'm still a amateur on obs so I'm still learning 😂😭
Chucked you a twitch follow btw seldom! 
oh appreciate it. I stream as a hobby, i like playing around with OBS annd effects
Everyone starts somewhere, play around with settings, make a "Test" Scene so you don't mess up your real stuff. That's how i learned a bunch of things.
is there an easy way to add alerts to obs?
depends on how your alerts work. there are multiple ways to add them. creating them through OBS, using a bot, using gifs/vids, just using text...
3rd party through a browser source is the simplest and easiest i think.
if you want, message me i can walk you through it.
Hi, this is Mack
my video is being shown but I have no sound when I connect an ATEM software
If you need help or have questions about OBS, check out our #support-portal first!
does anyone know how to make the plugin work for 21h2? Seperate game audio
what plugin? Win-audio-capture?
yes
i have the issue where my audio wont be recorded or even played
meanwhile example desktop audio is working fine but not the plugin audio.
update your winddows
I don't think that's necessary
I guess, the plugin itself recommends updating windows when that happens
🤷♂️
Did the plugin ever work?
If the plugin previously worked, has not been updated, OBS has not been updated, a new Windows update being out isn't going to suddenly cause a plugin to stop working when the update hasn't even been installed yet.
I have been looking all around but couldn't find it, I'm not sure if thats the right channel for that, but it feels the closest to the idea I have in my mind.
I'm searching is there anything out there kinda like Kappamon. I have made a two simple gifs that could easily transition between each other, basically an idle animation and "stuff is happening" animation. I want to try to create a really simple stream pet out of it - nothing is happening = idle animation; event is happening (follow, sub, raid, any kind of alert) = happy animation.
All I could find is Kappamon and it is basically what I'm looking for, but with the possibility of uploading my own images and without speech bubbles or tons of different animations, just very simple reactive source for obs. I recall people having stuff like that, but can't find it anymore.
hey!!! how's it goinng?
Acceptably. 🙂
Re: your question in #scripting ... There isn't a face mask plugin for OBS specifically however Snapchat desktop is often used along with OBS to provide this type of effect. The StreamLabs Desktop application has a Face Mask plugin which was originally created by the author of the StreamFX plugin (Xaymar), and it is open source. He's mentioned previously that if someone compiled it for OBS in theory it should work, but to the best of my knowledge nobody has ever attempted this.
If you (or someone) could get a build of it to work for OBS, it would theoretically be able to do what you've asked. A lot of people would be happy about that I think. Dunno anyone who has tried though.
anyone know how I can do a blur swipe transition in OBS? Similar to KaiCenat's transition in-between scenes
could you post an example of said transition?
is there any plugin or tool to stream on 2 twitch channels at the same time?
typo
!multirtmp
A third party plug-in for streaming to multiple RTMP servers is available for OBS Studio. https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/multiple-rtmp-outputs-plugin.964
If anyone has a Stream Deck and wants to use it with a build of OBS for Apple Silicon, I took the time to port Elgato's plugin (as a submodule) to obs-plugintemplate, and get the workflows running - there are built plugins available on the 1.0.0 release 🙂 https://github.com/CarrotCodes/streamdeck-obs/releases/tag/1.0.0
hmm... if it will do what i want it to do. then i'm going to try. lol
any forum admins on?
what do you need?
i want to post something iin 'tools and scripts' but it says 'You have insufficient privileges to post threads here.'
are you able to help or know a solution?
advised to ask in here .... so I'll repeat myself so that all info is in the right channel
writing a Twitch Bot, which can trigger sources in nested scenes via WebSocket
coding in JS
I'm trying to triger sources within one specific scene
obs.call('GetSourceList', {sceneName: '2023 - Events'})
.then(console.log)
I was hoping that this would reveal the list of sources on that Scene
But I get the error
OBSWebSocketError: Your request type is not valid.
Can someone please advise how I can list the sources, and what I need to use to enable and disable any listed source
is it a bad idea to steal the Qt5 version of the BETA Application Audio Output plugin from the latest CI builds and pop that in the install dir for the current OBS 27.2.4?
if it works I suppose it's fine for the time being
well, I guess I'll see
darn, the latest build also doesn't want to game capture a certain game
you can probably take the game capture hook from 27.2.4 and put it into the latest build
yeah 😄
I can't guarantee that it'll be compatible (as I don't know if/how the hook changed), but certainly worth a shot
that did it! thanks!

How to take a screenshot - http://www.take-a-screenshot.org/
What's wrong with a photo
Very hard to read
And you could have just pasted the link too in this case, which would have been even better than a screenshot
have you tried running the installer? it sounds like you're trying to move the files manually.
Tried both ways
send a screenshot of the error you get while running the installer.
Didn't get an error It just doesn't work
so you run the installer and see this at the end?
Exactly the same
i'm guessing you manually moved your OBS install at some point after you installed it?
Not sure what you mean
copy the path that you have OBS installed to and paste it here.
Application won't even work anymore when I install it so I'll just find something else to record with
You should be running the .exe installer for obs-websockets, not dropping it into the OBS install directory
If you'd like to control OBS Studio remotely, you have a few options.
To control from the web on any device (including phones and computers), use OBS Tablet Remote (requires obs-websocket).
If you'd prefer a mobile app that works like the Elgato Streamdeck, you can try Touch Portal, UP Deck, or Deckboard.
i did that too
but it didn´t work
Did you change OBS's install directory? Are you using a portable install?
How Can I get the discord call widgets in my screen (the squares that move when they talk?
no, i didn´t
i have it on Program files x86
That's a non-standard install location for modern builds of OBS Studio. You need to uninstall obs-websocket, then OBS Studio (in that order and do not tell the installer to remove settings). After that re-install OBS Studio and don't change the install directory (should be C:\Program Files\obs-studio). Then use the .exe installer of obs-websocket.
!download
OBS Studio can be downloaded right from the OBS Project website: https://obsproject.com/download
You'll have to use a cropped window capture for that. If you need further details, that's a question for #stream-setup
Thanks
@split kiln Unfortunately, we don't allow for that kind of advertising here.
All right, sorry about that.
It's no worries, thanks for understanding.
Re-install? does that means i have to do all my scenes again? or is there a way to get them back without having to do it all over again?
☹️
That's why you don't tell the uninstaller to remove your settings. You should be backing up your scene collection and profiles in OBS from time to time anyways.
Hey everyone, I'm sure i read last night somewhere that there is a way to change the content of a GDI Text source via websocket, can anyone help with how to do it?
I've searched and read docs, but am coming up blank 😦 becuase I always we browse either in private mode i dont have a history 😦
is there a way to track an image to an object? example, a person can move freely and a picture of glasses tracks to their face?
there are a few tools for that
one is Snap Camera

I don't have/want snapchat, anything else?
I know Nvidia's AI stuff was going to support it, not sure if it ever ended up doing so.
there are a few open source face tracker plugins on Github for OBS but I don't see any with ready-made effects
yeah I use a facetracker already which works well, but it's more.. using the facetracker to track an image to you as opposed to simply tracking your face
Find some where on Reddit ?
thats just a regular "slide" transition, which is already built into OBS I believe
Any plugin for showing a currently playing Spotify song?
Songify I believe being a good one by the looks of it 
I seem to be having some issues with getting Streamer.bot and OBS to talk to each other vis websocket. I'm running Streamer.bot 1.10, OBS 27.2.4 and Websocket 5.0.0. I'd tried to use 4.9.1 and Streamer.bot 1.09, which didn't work, and different combinations to no avail. I have no idea what to do from here. All that happens is Streamer.bot shows as disconnected. Both programs are on the same computer. I've also tried ports 4444 and 4455.
If you plan on using WS 5.0.0 you need 4.9.1 compat https://github.com/obsproject/obs-websocket/releases/tag/5.0.0
Or at least in this instance probably.
You! Are! AMAZING! It worked! DANKE!!!
Please can anyone assist with this condition in the original post? Thank you for your time.
I've tried using Search for this but I keep getting garbage "streamlabs" tutorials or the OBS feature, which I do not want
I'm looking for a OBS Plugin where I can throw my streams Chat into the Live Stream (Not the chat box in OBS, not a Streamlabs feature)
anything out there someone could point me too ?
you'll need to use some third party like streamlabs or streamelements for this sort of thing.
they provide the chat and you add it as a browser source in OBS.
@tawdry palm so you would be using a Browser Source in order to display it to your viewers through OBS. There are lots of sites that sort of offer this functionality I would think if you Googled something like (assuming Twitch): "Twitch Chat Overlay Browser Source" . From my own experience, Stream Elements has a fairly good browser source setup. You do not have to use their SE.Live plugin, as it's buggy. But if you go to stream elements, then login, and go to My Overlays, New Overlay, you should be able to see a widget in their creation thingy to set it up.
well Streamlabs - HECK NO. Dirty company from ground up
so there isn't an API out there I can port into like a web element and then dump a Source in and display using oBS ?
ahhh, ok yes yes . Thank you ❤️
I do use StreamElements (like them far better, I avoid Labs like a plague)
I agree with your opinion on StreamLabs as well @tawdry palm :P. There is a Twitch API that you could technically write a bot that retrieves messages and stores them and then you read the file, but honestly that is much more work than is necessary. No need to re-invent the wheel when StreamElements has a pretty good setup for it as is ^^
hehe totally!
yeah you're right on the wheel! I'll dig into Elements then cause they've been good
that above is the "hard" custom way by the looks of it
SE is 100% the easy button and what I personally use
a lot of people in this discord seem to like KapChat as well
I did see someones stream recently where his viewers messages were in really nice chat bubbles, that'd be the ideal goal but meh
Yeah streamelements should have that bubble look I believe. Can change a ton of settings as well. I've heard good things of KapChat as well, although I haven't used it myself to vouch. Good call though
SE seems to be the love here 😛 I have them and really enjoy a lot of their features so maybe that's the best way for me to move
@mortal harbor will take look at KapChat too. I'm open to some flavor ideas out there 🙂
yeah i also use SE for my chat.
If you ever want to lose some OBS functionality, use more computer resources for no reason, and support a company that basically steals, then StreamLabs is the way to go ^^
RIGHT?!?!?! /Amen!
and how they've stolen graphic/web layouts... list goes on. Very shady company
learn css and make it pretty custom apparently. thats too much effort for my lazy booty
ooh, used to know CSS so I can brush up on my old skills ❤️ ty for that!
👍
Well, someone made EXACTLy what I was looking for and I was able to import it into my SE
it's "Chat Bubbles v2.11.3 by Zaytri" he did such a beautiful job! ❤️ just amazed
Oh that's pretty sick. Would be a bit chaotic for a more active stream, but definitely fun and cool for a small to medium sized streamer for sure. Thanks for sharing!
This is what I used, I tried to get the original video from a guys long time a go, but today just found this... I love this I really think it helps you : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FxL6uJOwb9Q&t=417s
soon somebody will create a pluggin or scripts so can call chats from any social media... I hope.
such a gold nugget find! And yeah if you're an insane streamer it wouldn't work at all. Mid-size I would imagine you could do Delayed chat to help out. Mid-size I could see it still being nutty lol.
Love that guys channel! That chat system is pretty detailed! tons of features! ❤️
The Audio Monitor 0.8.0 plugin has stopped working for me following a Windows 10 KB5015878 update. I've rolled back the update and it's no longer allowing me to independently control browser based music volume, what levels I hear vs what the stream hears.
Is there another plugin that does the same thing that I could use? Thank you. oh and this is what I used before it stopped working https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/audio-monitor.1186/
Voicemeeter Banana is the most common solution.
yeah voice banana is super complicated compared to the plugin above. I was using it in conjunction with purchased virtual cables A+B.
For some people that's true. But it actually works. 🙂
you might get faster responses in the obs-websocket discord
What is the server? couldn't find it online
Thanks!
@gleaming raptor if you need help with virtual audio cables I'd be happy to help - that's something I've had a lot of experience with since I had to setup audio for a production company with VoiceMeeter and audio cables. If you respond here and I don't respond within 2-4 hours, I give you permission to whisper me to nudge me as sometimes I get a bit distracted or may forget if I take a nap.
need some help with the NDI plugin for OBS any one have any suggestions
!clog please post a log, and explain the issue
i need some help. im trying to use this widget i got so im coopying and pasting the link into a browser source. i put the chatbox source in every possible spot but the chat doesnt appear when i test it. i made an alt account just to get another link but my chat still wont appear on top of the stream
in the list source, is the browser source on top of all the others?
if you put the link in a browser tab (not in OBS) does it work?
when i do that, my screens blank
then looks like the URL itself doesn't work
https://nightdev.com/kapchat/ I'd advise using this
ok thanks
i tried it and it has the same result too
gimme the URL in question
I have a 2 PC setup & I'm trying to locate the game stream on the streaming PC using the NDI settings & it wont show up ....I've watched so many videos on YouTube, either Im an IDIOT & cant understand what in doing wrong ... 🙄
im sorry but where question? can you ping me in it
no, give me the URL that you're putting in your browser source
👍 works now?
yes thank you
ill try to use it for now but any suggestions on how to make the widget i got from streamlabs link to work?
ask streamlabs to fix their shit?
alr imma tell em lol
at this point, you've shown that the OBS side of things work, so it's a streamlabs problem here
I have a 2 PC setup & I'm trying to locate the game stream on the streaming PC using the NDI settings & it wont show up ....I've watched so many videos on YouTube, either Im an IDIOT & cant understand what in doing wrong ...
you've managed to start the NDI output on the game pc? @thorn rock
im not to sure how to do that some videos say i need to install OBS on the game PC
I see. Yes, that is how most people to it. That does of course come with a small performance hit (on the game PC)
ok OBS is up & running on game PC
wish there was a chat channel I could talk to you on this subject
sorry, we dont really do voice/1on1 support
I would like to do A video on this too for others to be able to get there setups running
you set up OBS just like you would normally. Add your single game capture or whatever it is you want.
Top bar > tools > enable NDI output
on the other pc (stream), make sure NDI is installed there as well, add a new source > ndi source, click the drop down, select your machine.
that should be it
ok its not found on the streaming PC ... do i need to start the stream or AKA LIVE ?? on the gaming PC
No. Post a log on the stream pc

@mortal harbor
Valve has implemented a Trusted mode which does not allow OBS to hook CS:GO using Game Capture. Read more in their announcement post. Additionally, they have no plans on allowing OBS in Trusted mode.
We recommend running the game in either windowed or borderless fullscreen and using a Window Capture source instead.
Alternately, you can launch the game with -allow_third_party_software .
it wa s a link off a youtuber video ( Cletus ) from the Github dot com link in his video
also do i need the NDI Tools also ?
it also do not work with any other game
Some third-party applications can conflict with OBS and cause issues, such as failing Game or Window capture, audio issues, and at worst crashes with OBS. For a full list, check here: https://obsproject.com/wiki/Known-Conflicts
I think I figured it out .... what i did wrong via the install files
Only thing I can do it just uninstall the OBS & forget about it for now
Hey guys, I’ve tried NDI for the first time with a 2 PC setup and my gaming PC feels like it’s delayed. I have a 144hz monitor, but when I stream it’s like I’m at 60. Can anybody help me out with this,
!remote
If you'd like to control OBS Studio remotely, you have a few options.

hello! i tried to find a plugin that can track the timeline being played in a youtube browser source, and unfortunately i cant find one
anyone with better guesses where to find one?
can you elaborate on the reason?
hi! thanks for replying.
I just want to add a source in obs where it just shows the progress of the youtube video i am watching without showing the actual video
if the video is playing and that time/bar are visible, you could just window capture it and crop to only show that.
that is indeed the most reasonable approach.
i have thought of this but figured if a specific plugin exists
anyways, thanks again!
no plugin for this.
I think it might be possible to hack this together using tuna+browser scripts they made. I think it it was working for YT at some point, but unsure.
Also a bit of a pain to set up to say the least
hmm, its been removed from the GH page, so maybe not anymore 😔
yeah i looked at the OBS plugin page for it earlier but didn't see any mention of youtube
actually ^^
i see comments on the video 4 months ago saying it was still working so maybe/
😮
woah this could actually work.
ill test it out. thanks!
thank yolo, I thought it wouldnt work until they saw comments, hehe
sorry for the late response but that would be extremely generous if you could help.
this plugin still functions for me - have you tried removing your filter/adding it back, selecting a new monitoring device and then swapping back to the correct one, etc?
- add/remove filter (Yes)
- I don't have any devices being monitored and it worked before. But this is how it looks.
!log not sure what this plugin logs but send one just incase there's anything that sticks out
- Max Audio Buffering
- Hardware-accelerated GPU Scheduler
- Windows 10 21H2 (OK)
- No Output Session
AMD Ryzen 9 5900X - OK! / GeForce RTX 3070 - OK!
i don't see any audio monitor filters on your sources?
I took them off yesterday because it wasn't working. I would get an echo when I activated it and clipping.
@gleaming raptor hey there! if you could, please let me know what exactly you want to accomplish with virtual audio cables. I can make things pretty complicated if I don't know your main goal. There are may be a pretty simple solution possibly depending on the extent to what you want. If you could list all the audio you would like separated, including any programs / software you use to listen to anything, that'll help me give the best feedback!
Hi
I have Discord, Game Audio & Youtube Browser music successfully separated using VAC. I wanted to use the feature in Audio Monitor OBS Plugin where my local music volume is independent from what the stream can hear. For example I can mute or lower my Youtube music yet the stream can still listen. This is what I cannot get to work
how are you hearing them right now?
Not sure what you mean but I am hearing them through my default playback device which is VB Cable input.
In OBS Audio Mixer the level indicators are independent from each other and will rise if they are getting input from the VAC source.
For example I am using my mic and listening to music and this is what the mixer looks like
how do you hear them through your speakers/headset right now?
Headset. It's the only device I use for listening
yes, they first go through the virtual cables, then to your headset, correct?
I'd like to say yes but how can I confirm that is what is happening
can you hear the game, discord, youtube using your headset right now?
did you follow a specific guide?
I can yes. I followed this guide https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ad30G5oBHtg
i see now, thank you for the link
you have to disable this "listen to this device" for all your virtual cables
having that enabled is currently the reason why you can hear them through your headset
by default, you actually can't hear from your virtual cables
you want different levels for them, so we have disable that listening on the virtual cable, and do the listening using the audio monitor plugin in obs
and that is how I had it setup before for Cable B which is assigned for Youtube music I had "unchecked listen to this device" and did the routing through OBS Plugin. But that is where my problem is as it doesn't pick up the audio.
What do I select as the device?
Your headset
and for the Properties I use the VAC cable B?
Can you tell me what audio devices are being used in obs?
Like youtube - cable b
How about the others
Asio Mic - Microphone
Discord - VAC A
Game Audio - VAC
Youtube - VAC B
And no audio source is capturing your headset?
Yes, keep the cables like that
Only thing not capturing headset is VAC B
What do you mean by this?
It seems we have a different definition of capturing
It seems to be working now 🙂
I can mute or reduce the volume of youtube and yet the stream is receiving music. 🙂
Dunno how its working now as I did everything the same before. You must have the magic touch so thank you for your patience in helping me out :). Going to restart my PC now and see if it still works after a reboot.
You're welcome!
ok working after a reboot. Problem solved
hi, me macro deck aint workin' with the obs it requires a password but waddo i put in it thanks
The same password you have set (or not set) in obs-websocket plugin settings
i have not set one
then leave the password field empty
do you get a error message?
no nothing happens
Is there a way in OBS to have better Audio Transition (not just picture...) ?
In the transition properties you can set audio transition
The fades on audio will not be present on audio monitoring but will be in final mix on recording/stream
but only in stinger oO
i got colour transition
basically fade to black and back in. no audio option on that
Audio should cross fade with most transitions
theres alot of potential to improve on that. i was hoping that there are some nice plugins, cuz obs sucks at this
or i do
can i use some filters to slowly fade in audio or fade out upon starting the media source / stopping maybe?
I think fade to colour is only fade in/out for audio
this is made for people with stream deck. if u want fade in and out without any hotkey its rather different.
fading in i got setup but out is an issue somehow
You can trigger filters with hotkeys
I dont use it for audio, was just pointing you in the right direction for what you were asking
How would you like to fade it, if not a key/hotkey?
well, the issue is, that move filter has no option "trigger when scene changes". only when source becomes active or deactivated. if you colour shift into another source (without that music source) you will end it instantly after the visual fade is done. the audio cannot fade out because its not there anymore
scene change
Advanced Scene Switcher
that is a plugin?
Yes.
alright, cool
It automates anything you want in OBS basically.
You can fade audio in it when on a specific scene. Or you can combine it with the plugin Matty linked, and have it run filters when you go to a scene.
It's a bit advanced, learning to do macros takes a little bit - but it's rather intuitive and super powerful.
issue with fading out is that the audio source is not in the scene i switch to. so it cant fade out
its just cut away at some point
fading in works
You'd need to add the audio source to both scenes.
Put them in a scene of their own.
Nest that scene by adding the scene to all your other scenes.
Use Advanced Scene Switcher to turn audio up/down depending on what scene you're on.
well, i wanna fade outro,intro music, different break music, my sound and headset. thats not working all in one scene in all scenes
way too complicated
i will download it. thanks
It depends on how you run audio. If you do audio just with the default OBS inputs - it's not that hard since they're all present on all scenes.
If you're using Audio Source Plugin that pulls audio from specific source, and add it to specific scene - you'll have to do above.
i dont use global audio
If the sources are specific audio sources that are present (like a movie playing) on a scene, you can do Advanced Scene Switcher, and set dummy sources.
i dont know how i could with media audio, browser source audio, headset,mic etc.
There's no way for OBS to "switch, but wait for audio to fade" without some work arounds.
Best way to do it is to have your source in both scenes. That way it doesn't get cut off. Then use Advanced Scene Switcher to fade down that specific source, as it detects you transitioning to a new scene.
That way, even though the source is in both scenes technically - you automate what scene it should turn audio up/down for.
What you're trying to do should be possible to get somewhat neatly done. It's not basic OBS though - so might take you a bit of fiddling.
You're going from beginner OBS, to little more advanced setup hehe.
well, my stream settings are basically done, i always try to improve something
one at a time
This is the way 🙏
🙂
good stuff, but alot of work ahead
xD
at least it clearly has "if scene change" basically if, and, or stuff, all present. very nice
reminds me to programming at school
@harsh topaz u familiar with the advanced scene switcher plugin?
it wont work, but from my logic it should
also, scene groups cannot be selected.. pretty useless then
i just tried to let obs fade my volume to 0% at scene transition and fade it in again upon transition end (macro 1+2) but nothing happens
how long is your transition?
@wispy nebula Should be possible, but not at OBS at the moment. There's a few ways to deal with transitions and scene changes. As I said, it takes some fiddling and learning.
i had 2,5s now 5 for testing
hmm
it does work somehow if you select the sources. master volume does not work, scene groups dont work
sadly
would be so easy if switch from scene group "startups" to scene group "gameplay" or "breaks" for example
but that seems to not work
I'm still not sure what you're referencing when you say it doesn't work with scene groups ?
@wispy nebula one of my audio macros
There's bit more bottom but it's just starting/stopping VLC playlists etc.
I've never used Scene Group in advanced scene switcher. I'm not sure what you're referencing when you say "groups". Do you mean the OBS groups you can make? There's probably complications there because how of groups work in OBS - but they're also very bad and shouldn't really be used because of how broken they are.
Instead create a new scene - put stuff in there, and select that scene with the things in it. Similar to group functionality.
i have no groups in OBS set, just in advanced scene switcher. as in screenshot 1
and then i thought i can make it like - if i switch from "gameplay group" to "breaks group" i could do a macro for that. or from anything to "outro"
groups if you have different break scenes for example
or more than 1 outro
You can, not sure what functionality Scene Group covers that macro's can't - if any.
The transition has been slowly made to get rid of the tabs above except for Macro General and Network.
If you're trying to add a Scene Group to a Scene Group, that's probably not possible due to issues with infinite loops I'd guess.
You do a condition in the macro that says "If it switches to this this this or this scene > do this"
ok, only sources can be grouped not scenes xD
ok, ill bother with that another day. its not rly working as it should
To restate what Lindekron said, instead of using scene groups, you could just duplicate your conditions, one for each target scene. Otherwise, you could probably suggest that to the author of the plugin.
i did duplicate everything to "break sound 1" "break sound 2" and etc. but when i switch scenes sometimes its sometimes starting the new audio at 100%, then fades out to fade back in
dont know what i do wrong
i made these 2 macros and added all sound sources to it (theyre bellow)
Try to add a wait action for 3 seconds or so at the end of the list
For both macros
What exactly are you trying to accomplish Burgi?
If you describe the step by step for every thing you want it to do in actuality.
i read the wiki right now
it explains to do a makro from scene A to scene B
i want basically only the audio to fade out and in upon scene change
thats all
What audio, for what purpose?
but during transition both scenes are active for a while, thats my issue here i guess. and i REALLY dont want to make a makro for every possible scene change. like "intro to gameplay" "gameplay to break 1" "gameplay to break 2"
thats alot of work then
Are you trying to do Intro what has audio on a media source, and have that fade out - as your spotify music fades in?
Those are possible. I do that, as my example above showed.
i have a new scene with an MP3 file that contains my streams music (no spotify required then) and it should not start at 100% volume because i want it to loop
if i switch to that scene its very loud depending on the song and part of that song playing
if i switch to any scene, the previous audio just cuts out
that sounds very cheap
So a limitation you might be hitting without realising, is that when you make ADV-SS do something based on scene switching, the scene switching will happen immediately. That's because you're using OBS to switch scenes.
ADV-SS then takes a few 100 MS (depending on settings) to detect this transition/scene switching happening - before it can do something.
If you're running into issues with stuff happening too late - not much you can do outside of binding the transitions to the macro - and using dummy sources to do the switch (I do that). It's a bit bigger of a setup and sort of requires a tool such as streamdeck for binding said dummy sources to.
If that's not the case, then you should be able to have your specific source fade down when switching to specific scene.
Not sure what issue you're running into if you tried setting it up as how I showed you.
An example:
im frustrated now and confused
I know, took me a while to figure out ADV-SS, and a lot of help from the developer. Once you start getting how some of the conditions work (& dont work) it becomes easier. But it's very powerful.
I messed and got help with it for months. But I'm also doing a lot with it.
i will eventually find out i guess
The small scene collection I have open here have 40 macros :3
Oh, by the way! A tool you can use, to help you, sec.
this program costs a ton of nervs. it should not
press this in the macro
Then you can see which conditions fire (high lighted) and which don't, when you do specific things.
It's super useful for tracking down what might not be doing what you think it should be doing.
Best of luck 🙏
thanks
Hey guys
Can anyone explain why when I use a VST plugin to change my voice pitch it crashes my obs (this is while I'm streaming)
Is this issue fixed in obs 28?
Thanks
Sounds more likely to be an issue with the VST
Have you loaded it in other software?
there aren't any particular VST-related tweaks in 28
No I haven't
I don't have any other programs to use it in
Yeah, a VST crashing is most likely the VST itself
anyone know how to fix the plugin for audio not working on windows h21h2?
i had this issue for 1-2 weeks now and so far no one could solve it even i cant and youtube dosent help me since i dont see anyone there talking about the issue.
( i checked so the obs volume is on and not on mute so thats not an issue,
which plugin?
application output audio
- Wrong YUV Color Range
- Windows 10 21H2 (OK)
- No Output Session
- Windows 10 Game Mode
AMD Ryzen 5 3600 - OK! / Radeon RX 5500 XT - OK!
I'd say it's unlikely you need to go back
ok then how do we fix it?
cuz apperently no one could help or can apperently
since everyone that tried has failed even myself
xd
just in case, does it work with any other application?
are you using any kind of "spatial sound", 5.1, 7.1, anything other than basic stereo
that should be in like the windows mixer or some shit
whether you're using stereo or spatial sound
i search for windows mixer and nothin g comes up,
the place where you change the sound of applications
yeah ik
but as i said
nothing comes up
fam
tf u here or not?
like u leave for mins?
I sometimes have a life outside of volunteering for help on this server
bro can we focus on the issue when ur here?
click on the volume icon on the bottom right of your screen
ye?
tf
bro theres lik 5 options
plus if i click it i can change the volume
like unclear asf
look, I personally don't use windows, I can help for OBS problems but I'm gonna have a harder times helping you through windows shit
I can't
no
ok let the issue be,
Hello i'm on obs 28 and none of my scenes on my stream deck will work now it giving me a streamdeckpluin / please update or remove these pluins error but the stream deck is up to date
I don't think any plugins are updated for OBS 28, are they?
hmm never thought about that i just kind of figure it would be since i heard my sounds byte still working.. only trying the update to see if it solve the random disconnect when i stream cause it been doing it since i move to 27.4.2 and i was just over it constanly diconnecting during stream
lots of plugin won't work with the beta till they get updated
i cant stream on Youtube
I entered my Stream key
It wouldnt work
If you need help or have questions about OBS, check out our #support-portal first!
Someone here actually recompiled the Stream Deck plugin for it to work with qt6/OBS v28 beta..
oh jesus. So an OBS plugin, has a plugin, which also relies on qt? 
naaah, plugins uses libs that are included with obs, so if obs changes his libs, the plugin must adapt to the new one (qt6 in this case)
I guess I'm surprised (but this is really not my fortee), that the plugin for the plugin needs to access qt libs/functions. Would have expected that it would be somewhat limited to whatever the plugin provides in so far as possibilities. Did not expect it to make it this far down
Is there a guide to upgrading plugins to support Qt6?
I did notice this commit in the obs-plugintemplate project on GitHub, but was hoping for a wiki article or something similar to help guide the upgrade path: https://github.com/obsproject/obs-plugintemplate/commit/eb5423d41cba0d5992c18ed8d4c9a25b5edc78cd
The closest you can get to something like that is this post: https://github.com/obsproject/obs-studio/discussions/6481#discussioncomment-3312039, it has examples on what needs to be migrated in the code base at least
Is there a specific plugin you're thinking of?
quite a few 🙂 I am hoping to get a handle on how to upgrade them so that I might be able to begin efforts to contribute to the FOSS ones
a lot of them are going to need upgrading.... heh
In general, stick to the plugintemplate as close as you can. That also has the advantage of immediately having a CI as well as macOS builds that match the new plugin structure and work with Apple Silicon.
Code wise, see the examples linked above, though usually the code changes should be rather minor
thank you, that link helps! i will reach out here again if i have specific problems/questions.
Hey, how do i get the OBS-NDI Plugin to run again in Version 28 (Beta)? I don't know what to do, or do i just have to wait a few Days ^^
@red flicker saw your YouTube video about v28 Beta and you mentioned Stream Deck wont work... a guy here (@left gull) on OBS Discord compiled a version of their plug-in that works with QT6/OBS v28 Beta https://github.com/CarrotCodes/streamdeck-obs/releases
Sick thanks!
I also mentioned it on Elgatos Discord and they said they're looking into it
oh.. Its an actual fork of the streamDeck plugin. I thought you meant that is was a plugin, for the plugin streamdeck, hence the confusion on the qt dependency lol
Glad it’s useful for folks 🎉
audio
And…?
whoops
was trying to search something
in the discord
im trying to find a plugin i had downloaded
but i cant seem to find it anymore
its a plugin that separates the audio so you can control what you record on your video
To capture audio from selected applications only, similar to Discord, you can try the new OBS audio capture plugin (Windows 10 2004 and above only)
ah thank you
Gotcha 🙂
no it replaces the original plug-in from Elgato
yeah, but I didnt realize it until this message, hence my earlier confusion
we really ought to curate something... hell, even a spreadsheet... which acts as a central place for upgrade status of popular plugins
There is the Plugins page on the OBS website resources sections. That is where i check for plugin updates right now
https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/categories/obs-studio-plugins.6/
i just load that up and see if any of the plugins I use are closer to the top
are you referring to this page? https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/categories/obs-studio-plugins.6/
jinx 😉
Since its in order of update release date
Is this where i can get help with the websocket?
maybe, what is the question(s)?
It used to work, but its not connecting no matter what now that I'm using the beta
maybe because its a new version of it in the beta
Yeah, it’s a new version of websocket and the compatibility binary isn’t available yet for the beta. It will be before the full release.
Important to remember that betas are meant for testing and you should expect them to break.
Is there any plugins that allows my moderators to type something in the chat and have it affect a text file in one of my scenes ? so if as an easy to understand example. i'm playing a game and i have a DEATH COUNT number. every time i die, a mod types a command that adds +1 to it. [i dont plan to have a death count number but what i want is basically the same thing as listed above]
Probably do something bot related.
As long as you host the bot on your local PC, that is.
yeah, streamlabs bot might be able to do it. but is there any way to do such a thing with existing tech that already exists ?
streamer.bot can do it pretty sure. touch portal maybe
Hello friends, I am using a multiple output to stream to 2 channels but the issue I have is the orientation for instagram
My base resolution is 1280x720 but need it to be 720x1280 for instagram
the plugin has a feature for resolution but it only shrink it not rotate it
correct, it can only resize, not stretch/rotate
I was looking into the BongOBS Cat plugin, but I want to know if there's a way to make it work with a 2PC setup
Because it wont track the movement on the keyboard/mouse on my gaming PC
@night rivet input director can be used to mirror input across 2 PCs
How do I do that?
I was thinking about using NDI to send the source to the StreamPC, but idk why my computer doesn't recognize the NDI on the second OBS
@night rivet install input director, use the "mirror input" feature
oh, and maybe put up a projector or something else to cover up the screen so you don't accidentally interact with things on the second display
Yeah, that will end up being a pass, as all monitors are being used
So there will be clicking on other places
I'm creating a plugin using https://github.com/obsproject/obs-plugintemplate, and can successfully build with GitHub Actions after I push a tag...but stupid noob question...how do I build the plugin locally (currently just Windows)?
I'm trying to just run .\.github\scripts\Build-Windows.ps1 and see if that works...
(I also have OBS 28 successfully building locally...thanks to its .\CI\build-windows.ps1 script)
Is there any widget/plugin/script or something I could use to display in real-time my current bitrate to my stream?
You could probably write a built in python script that reads the value(s) and updates a Text Source every few seconds?
sounds complicated lol. Do you know how to do that?
since im having connection issues sometimes and it messes up the stream quality so id like to monitor my bitrate
not particularly; just an idea
@royal spire Sorry the late ping, but I just noticed that obs-websocket will generate a random password on first start to protect your OBS from unauthorized access. Go to Tools > OBS Websocket and set a new password there or copy the generated one for use in your remote app
not lettting me connect still @peak vector
still authorization error?
note that there are currently two release of obs-websocket - v4 and v5 - which are not compatible to each other, check the remote software if they need v4 or v5 (you can install both side by side just fine)
someone = one of the creators/maintainers of the plugin
Oops didnt know that... just saw he tagged me for some reason when i answered someone else that there is 2 different versions of websockets
hello, I'm looking for a plugin or tool that sets my screen refresh rate at 120Hz when I open OBS, and sets back my refresh rate at 165Hz when I close OBS, does that exists? Thank you
autohotkey might be able to do this - only thing that comes to mind.
unfortunately some game anti cheat doesn't allow to have autohotkey open
The GPU control panel
the gpu control panel only limit the fps per app, it doesn't change global refresh rate
if I limit obs to 120fps, the game are still at 165fps
Anyone know how to get the freeze filter plugin to work on steam?
Or an alternative way to freeze things
i think he means limit the games FPS
does anyone know if there is a way to change the play speed of a video in OBS based on the value within a text file? Like if the value is 1-100 at 1 its playing at 100% speed and at 100 its playing at 200%
you might be able to do that with 3rd party macro tools or a bot, like streamer.bot or touch portal
@chilly flame you can do that with the advanced scene switcher plugin, but setting up 101 conditions by hand would be quite tiresome
*checks macros*
actually, i'm not so sure anymore, maybe not possible
right I've considered both of those options. Streamer.bot seems like the most reasonable way to do it, but I honestly don't know how to get to change playback speeds
if the number of speeds you want is finite enough, you can use hotkeys and the move transition plugin
i used that to change between 0.5x, 1x, 2x
yeah I guess I could break it down into fewer conditions by doing 1-25, 26-50, etc
not ideal but better than nothing
The replay source plugin has speed control….may be useful information here.
I could create an invisible game cursor
Hello, some time ago on my video game scene I had put a video source and added in the options "masking transition" with a separation in the middle to simulate a door opening. And I don't know why it doesn't work anymore since I reinstalled everything. The video ends and no transition is made. How to make this option work again. If I put a transition by another way, it starts too early and the door opening effect does not work. Is there a way to delay the beginning of a transition? Thanks to you
Hi there, I was wondering if there was a plugicn where I can display other peoples webcams on my stream
https://vdo.ninja/ is pretty popular, and does not even require the sending party to even have OBS (nor any plugins). They just pick "add your cam to obs", and give you the link
Thank you
what kinda plug-ins exactly?
They were helped in support
i am unable to add the multi rtmp output plugin, can anyone help me with this?
!multirtmp
A third party plug-in for streaming to multiple RTMP servers is available for OBS Studio. https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/multiple-rtmp-outputs-plugin.964
^^ @pearl lance
Has someone made working configuration for Advanced Scene Switcher, where you ignore scene changes if for example outro scene has been selected. I am having problems figuring out how to do it. I have dual pc setup.
hi I have downloaded the OBS 28 beta and I use to have the audio monitor plugin because my friends use streamyard and sound would not play videos from my computer without all this virtual cable wiring. I'm getting an error now that it could not load it. I was wonder is there another way for me to use the media source where videos and the sounds of the videos play through my virtual camera ?
I apologize wrong channel for my question. My apologies
That plugin probably needs an update to be compatible with obs v28
QT has changed which impacts plugins using old QT
Multi rtmp plugin would be in tools not docks menu
@vale vine have you ever used it? it does create a dock
Actually yea it's on docks
!log @coarse fable
@coarse fable
Yes I've actually used it
still the OBS NDI plugin isn't working like I've seen on numerous YouTube videos
Is this where I would talk about plug in issues? I’m having trouble getting the plug in to appear on obs
this usually means it isn't being installed correctly. what plugin?
The Background removal plugin, I watched a lot of videos about it how to do it I copy and pasted the files into the obs studio folders
this is the first plug in I’ve downloaded so I don’t know if I’m missing something else I should have?
@mortal harbor
How to install plugins: https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/421/
List of available plugins: https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/categories/6/
did you ever get it figured out?
Hi! As far as i know I've installed it all correctly, and have followed the instructions of many different tutorials yet for some odd reason the Move transition plugin is not showing up anywhere on OBS. Can anyone help?
you've downloaded this installer and ran it?
https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/move-transition.913/version/4297/download?file=84805
Mhm!
- Old Version (26.1.1)
- Windows 11 21H2 (OK)
- Not Admin
- No Output Session
Intel Core i5-9300H @ 2.40GHz - OK! / GeForce GTX 1650 - OK!
you need to update OBS.
Alrighty!
where can I get background remove plugin for obs?
There isn't really one yet. If you have a newer nvidia GPU, you can either test out the beta or wait for the next release which should have one.
is there any plugin or tool that allow my to make my audio player automatically skip to the next song after a certain time? like I don't want it playing the whol song some times. if there's a way to skip every minute or so, that would be awesome
I'm looking for caption/plugin/subtitle STT The one I'm looking for seems to have accurate captions and audio effects when activated and it's being used by VR Streamers. I've been asking around and but no one seems to want to help. I will be referencing the exact caption I am looking for using the streamer I found it from. Hope to hear as soon as available. https://www.twitch.tv/jouffa
Not the captions plugin, doesnt output in that way or with sound. Looking at the stream I'm not even sure the person is using speech to text, might just be them typing?
They're a Vtuber so it's their job to kind of be a mute and STT to their audience
Is this the one they're using?
no idea, didn't go through their VODs
i've just heard the one i linked is good
I have it
Nah can't be that, it doesn't output like that, letter by letter or with sounds (I made it)
It's not the one i'm looking for, the one they're using is more advanced.
Like crazy punctuation good advanced.
and very accurate output.
My guess would be a web based one using js speech recognition API and just making it type like that as an overlay, would be very simple to make
A couple people have asked about something like that here but I never saw someone find one that does exactly that.
I know very few who are using it, but because their mods prevent them to expose their resources, they want to gatekeep it.
So even though I've asked, no response is given.
Also yeah the quality of the text was what made me guess keyboard typing.
Because it seems really good, better than any general speech reconigtion I've seen.
they're live at the moment, just sitting on vr not really typing.
they're response time is too fast to be TTS It's STT
I see 
ohh yeah that does seem to be it, or do the same at least, that's cool 
The StreamFX plugin has Nvidia background removal for RTX hardware, however it is experimental-only and requires OBS 27.2.4.
Anyone know how to let yt videos work without the pop up?
What do you mean?
Probably best to describe the problem in a lot of detail in the support channel.
not sure its OBS related tho. Maybe its good to get clarification on what it is they want to do first 🙂
Hello, can anyone guide me to resources to start building a plugin for a dynamic overlay? I tried going through the documentation but it didn't make much sense to me. I am making this plugin for distribution and need to make sure it's very difficult to tamper with or alter, so I can't just make an html page and was considering a dll. Any resources or suggestions would be greatly appreciated, thank you.
define "dynamic overlay"
if your plugin uses the OBS api you'll need to release it as a GPL, as defined in the licence
if you want your software to be locked down it would have to be completely independant from OBS, handing over data with something akin to a capture method or NDI
Yeah, making it locked down to prevent people from modifying it would violate the GPL license of OBS. Don't expect to get any help doing something like that here.
well, not directly. but not also releasing the easily editable version would be.
Is there a plugin for a screen shake effect
OBS Shaderfilter
Where do I get it from
Apologies if I phrased it wrong. I'm building a plugin for private use for a competition of sorts, and want to make it difficult to tamper with easily to prevent cheating. Would that be withing the terms of service?
I have a design with a few tables and numbers, and want it to display certain icons and update numbers as it gets data from somewhere
it depends a lot on on how you define "private use".
define "display"
You'll need to contact an intellectual property attourney for advice on that I'm afraid.
The icons are hidden and then become visible, or the icons are added when certain conditions are met
In general if one wants to interface with OBS in a way that does not invoke GPL licensing constraints, the way to do it is via a separate external application that does not link to OBS or its libraries, and communicate with OBS using websockets instead, and passing video back and forth using Spout.
Which is how software like Magic or Synesthesia interface with OBS for example. Commercial software communicating via standardized interfaces but not linked to the binary, nor using its code.
maybe i was unclear. i meant that you haven't told us anything about where you want this to be displayed.
On the border of the window capture there are a few tables, with a little empty space at the end of each row. I want the icons to be displayed then.
in other words, you want them to be added to the obs scene?
Yes that would have been a better way to phrase it in hindsight
a plugin can change the values of properties of sources. this naturally includes the text of text sources and the image of picture sources.
and if you don't want to clutter the global source list, you can create internal sources that aren't listed there.
Okay
Where should I start? Also can I in write python/JS or do I need to stick with C/C++
i think there is a python plugin? and you can always use a browser source to just do everything in a html page.
but if you want to use the obs api and make a proper plugin then C/C++ is the only real way.
I see. I presume making a black box would be against terms of service?
not terms of service, the license agreement that the obs code is covered under.
Sorry, that's what I meant
you will have to consult a proper lawyer for maximum certainty, but the general consensus is that plugins need to be open source, just like obs is.
Hi! My obs is crashing almost as soon as I open it, and I suspect it may be caused by a plugin I recently installed called win-capture-audio
I'm wondering if anyone can help me guess what's making it crash, since I don't know how to read crash reports
If this is the wrong channel to ask for this, I'll change to the proper one
If you think it's the win-capture-audio plugin, you can check by uninstalling the plugin and then starting OBS.
I'm pretty sure it is that plugin, as OBS didn't crash before using it
I haven't used it much yet until recently, as I'm doing some tests and when opening OBS in a certain scene, it crashes a moment after opening and loading
Did you update it to the latest version?
OBS? or the plugin?
All of the above, it could all be relevant
The plugin is up to date, and let me check OBS
Nope, obs isn't updated
I will update it and see if it crashes upon opening in that specific scene
Current version of the plugin is 2.3.3-beta, released at the end of July
Again, the test to start troubleshooting, is to remove the plugin and see if OBS works after it's gone.
Current OBS version is 27.2.4 (i dont use the 28 beta so i cant help with that)
I did that anyways and it didn't crash anymore, yeah
Updated OBS, opened the game in that scene, crashes not happening
I opened and closed it a few times and seems to work fine
Sorry it was such a simple thing, and thanks for your help
I'm having a problem getting obs-ndi showing up under Tools in obs. I have ran the runtime installer, the ndi installer, the obs installer (multiple times of each, and rebooted several times) The NDI option doesn't show up under Tools 😦
System is a Windows 10 VM with nothing else installed, barebones W10 install. Only thing previously installed is the Radeon drivers for the GPU
OBS version - 27.2.4 (64-bit)
OBS-NDI version 4.9.0
Any ideas/suggestions to look at?
well, have no idea what happened, but it's working now 🤔
Hey I can't get the multi stream plugin to work. I'm on Mac using obs version 27
why are you running such an old version of OBS?
it's under View -> Docks in that old version
Question about Streamelements and Widgets
I've been finding really interesting and helpful Streamelements widgets and there are many but I was wondering if anyone knew of a good place to 'browse' through. I've looked around for a good source of SE widgets and it seems a hit and miss and wondered if maybe there was a good site out there that had a list I could sit and go through. (I've joined the SE Discord but it seems limited). I don't think I'm searching DDG for the right places as I keep turning up with limited info
What exactly do you mean by widgets?
We don't really have much to do with alert services here, their discord is going to be your best bet for widgets that work with their services.
Attempted to uninstall a plug-in, now every time I close OBS my computer crashes. Pls help.
Does anyone have a plugin that lets me hold down a button to show an image?
If it's just show an image, load the image into a scene as a source and hotkey it to enable/disable it
i want to hold down lets say G and the image appear and when I let go it disappears
dunno about that
would there be a plugin for it?
I know some 3rd party macro apps have that capability, i don't know if there is an obs plugin for it
there's a list of plugins in the pinned messages in this channel
thanks, i'll take a look
I found a person with the same issue as mine lmao
Maybe Bongo Cat plugin can show which keys are pressed now. IIRC, there is a key-image mapping so that you can adjust which keys to be displayed.
They more or less want to do the same as streamers to prevent stream snipers.
When they hit a hotkey it both pulls up a game map but has a large enough image/blur to hide where they are and it disappears on release.
Advanced Scene Switcher can usually help here. It can search the screen for an image, and then switch a scene on/off that has a black rectangle to hide stuff. Rectangle can be larger than the scanned area, of course, so minimap can be reliably detected from a small UI element (assuming one exists) but entire map gets covered regardless of content, owo. Their wiki has a guide on how to set precisely this up.
is there a plugin that can automatically Edit Stream Info Category ? 
maybe based on active window
Where do I find the wiki guide?
In OBS 27.2.4, I have a Video Scene playing in the program feed. While the video plays in the program feed, I'm turning on layer visibility of nested scenes within that Video Scene in Preview and then pushing the new updated Video Scene via Move Transition. Near the end of the video, I want to switch to a new, separate scene that has my Camera Feed on top of the video (so the video's audio plays underneath my camera's audio). However, when I try to Stinger Transition that new scene from Preview to Program it reverts to the Move transition (even when I select Stinger transition and override the camera feed scene's transition to be the stinger transition)
Do you have a transition override set or using transition table or transition matrix?
Hey I can't get the multi stream plugin to work. I'm on Mac using obs version 27.2.4
I have transition override. I'm actually starting to think it's an Elgato Stream Deck bug.
When I go through the same motions, but without using the multi action on the stream deck, I can (with a lot more effort) get things to work.
I can't help with mac, but you prob wanna be more descriptive. What isn't working? Is it not getting installed properly? Details go a long way.
My bad. You're right. Yes it's not getting installed properly. I don't know if I have to put the downloaded file in one of the folders inside my OBS application's content folder or what.
When I run the installer, it just unpack the file in my downloads folder right under the original file I downloaded @vale vine
this you press a button to make it appear and disappear
how do i manig my pluggins?
is there a plugin for obs that acts as an rtmp server? like nginx? or something like, use case is i have an older vidui box id like to add as a field camera and send to obs, but it needs a server to connect to, as far as i can tell
or well, anyone know of how to use a teradek with obs 🙂
The installer obs-multi-rtmp_0.2.8.0.pkg should install the plugin under /Library/Application Support/obs-studio/plugins/obs-multi-rtmp/.
Have you download right package? Note that obs-multi-rtmp-portable.zip is for Windows.
I just searched the file name you just gave me and it wasn't any results for it on the github link
You can find it here.
https://github.com/sorayuki/obs-multi-rtmp/releases/tag/0.2.8
Click a triangle just left of Assets.
you my friend are a life saver. I'm about to download it now. Thank you!
is there a plugin for obs Reverse chroma key like i select white and all the other colors gets removed but not white
.
Hmm, anyone know of a good way to go about setting a scene active by index within a thread?
You can reverse the alpha channel by using StreamFX Dynamic Mask filter.
Depending on why you are wanting to do this specifically, there are other possible solutions also, such as the selective_color shader from OBS Shaderfilter, or some other custom shader.
In your case for white, you have another option which is to use the OBS Luma Key filter, and set min luma to a high enough value that it removes all of the non-white.
Hi, how long does it take for plugin approval?
Awaiting approval before being displayed publicly.
could take days or weeks, depending on number of plugins and availability of moderators.
We have a really high backlog currenty, sorry for any delays
seems it has been approved, thanks!
Yeah I did a few "easy" ones right now
<@&715347355565817879> they keep posting
