Wanted to say thank you, you did everything straight to the point and pointed everything out clearly and concisely. You even went back in case adjustments were needed. Great video!
If you're streaming an application window, you can right click on the preview and project the preview to a monitor, there is a slight delay, but you'll see exactly what your viewers see. You can also do that just fine if you're streaming a source from a console or phone. If you're streaming an entire screen, then doing that will not be possible. It'll just turn into smoke because it'll loop back the image.
came for the info, got mesmerised by the eyes and forgot everything i just watched. For real though that was super helpful... short sweet and to the point.
I was having an issue similar to this but got it to work and I hope this helps. I linked my Twitch account to Streamlabs, because originally I was just logged in using RUclips.
little late, likely a year plus but might help people having this problem as of reading. I just had to close my obs and send a new message and it worked. I don't know why I had to but id did. Half hour well frustrated. Guess turn it off and on gain is a more all covering than I thought.
Is the a whay to see this chat on my stream screen for me self? Its working but i cant see on my screen just in obs. I wood like to see chat as well on main screen

If you don't see your chat in OBS anymore it might be cause you could've made the chat transparent before adding it in OBS. Write a text message and the chat will appear. This is the problem I had
I’m really confused could anyone help I’m trying to do this but when I go back to my stream on twitch and watch it through stream manager there is no text
So I followed the steps and managed to get my chat on obs as a source like in the video. Thing is the chat won't display over my game when I switch to full screen (which is kind of the point when I go to stream live so I wouldn't have to switch back and forth with the obs screen). I should have said first that I use a single monitor setup. Is there a way to set this up when I go full screen? Thanks in advance!

Got it working BUT, I have a problem, so the emotes show up on both twitch's chat box, and steam elements, but not on OBS? I just get the words to activate the emote but not the actual emote? anyway to fix that? By the way that's betterTV I'm using for the emotes & custom emotes
I can not explain how clear this video was to follow, a tiny back story how I found your channel, I was looking for a camera for my PS5 your tutorial video put me right on track to having the best console stream I possibly could, Thank you for that. Now watching this video one time through, I have my chat overlay set up, next I need to browse through your playlists hoping you have a streamelements tutorial for followers, subscriptions and raids. Thanks so Much again!!! -GamingHouse24-
Thank you, this offers an excellent overview on how to get set up. This would have been much, much more chaotic if I had tried to figure it out on my own!
Hey Loved the Video. Helped me start out but now Im having a bit of a problem. My chat's scroll has a heavy delay, to the point that the first messages of the stream did not show up until 2 hours into the stream. I've been running the same stream elements settings displayed, and things have been good for the past year. Just recently I've been having this issue.
Glad you enjoyed it! I would have to check, I know you can do some decent stuff with the text tool built right in and you can add custom fonts into OBS using Dafont.com. May add this video to the list to create.
Hey, so I set up my chat exactly as you said to, and the tests are showing in the written chat box and on twitch, but not in the chat overlay itself? I have no idea what went wrong!
@@LASCurry thank you for replying! I'm not sure. I only have the overlay in the scene layers, and I changed my channel's name and info today if that makes any difference.
Thanks for the video. I followed your directions to a T but I had a problem. My Chatbox shows up in OBS but the actual text does not show. I am streaming to RUclips. Any advice?
@@theflosser9199 when you login in with the platform you want to stream it, it’s becomes a dock, if you don’t see it go to dock and toggles it on and then you will have the window
@LASCurry I have followed every step but for some reason the color of chat text instead of white is black and i can't fix it. Any solutions? Every time I have black, its white letters, every time its white and custom - black letters. Id like to have white letters and png background like showed in the video. There is no option on Stremelements to change color of text manually like its shown on a video.
trying this out and I am curious if there's a way to make the chat start at the top and move down to the bottom, newer messages being on the top and older on the bottom
Very clear and to the point. Nice Tutorial. However, my RUclips chat in OBS doesn't show on the StreamElement chat overlay, even after following all your steps. Do you know how to fix that?
This video was so helpful! I got it set up perfectly. I am new to streaming so my only question is does this text box show up while you're gaming? As in would I be able to see the chat while I stream my game? Thanks!
Hello bro, thanks a lot for this guide. I still have one questions, will I be able to see the chat on the screen on which I am playing the game? Currently, I have to use my iPad to see the chat on my stream. Isn't there any way where I can have the chat overlayed on my screen permanently? Will be waiting for your reply. Thanks.
How do I make it so I can see the chat while I play the game because if it’s for a two monitor set up it would’ve been really nice to know before spending two hours settings this up
Thank you so much for this video. I have been trying to figure out how to do it, since I do my own overlays, I honestly thought I was not going to be able to do it. Thank you again
this video helped a lot however whenever i add it i can only See one persons chat. i can’t see mine or anyone else’s only my friend. i have no idea why
Was helpful till chat texting test new update seems deferent from a year ago now im stuck again the live chat bar isn't popping up twitch is hooked up no go for me any help
Question about the countdown timer...can you modify the count down timer to a different time? Or is it strictly 5 minutes? I couldn't find anything on the website about it being customizable.
So I have a problem on my end. I got everything to work as you've stated in your video, but for some weird ass reason, whenever I start using chat, it's not showing up!

First video I’ve seen of yours, quick, clear, easy to follow. Finally found someone who gets straight to the point you’ve earned my sub sir
was able to get the chat on obs but when i type to see if it goes through the messages don’t go through
Should default to only showing up to your viewers

Everything worked but how am i supposed to look at chat without opening obs?
I know this is late but how do i change the direction of the chat, i want it to from up and scroll downwards, not the opposite
How can i see the chat too while im in game on a single monitor?
I can see the chat on OBS but not on my actual screen is there any way i can actually see my chat?
I get overlays and stuff for free on streamelements but I didn’t know how to set up alerts or my chat but you helped me thank you brother.
As someone very new to streaming and learning as i go, this was super helpful and easy to understand

Simple tutorial, unlike others this one I sat and worked with and didn't get overwhelmed by the ammount of steps or time
10/10
Does the chat actually pop up while playing the game so u dont have to leave the screen to check the chat
Was able to get it to work one time then it stopped working. Is there any fix? What could be wrong?
Lifesaver! just recently switched from slobs to obs and felt helpless with the dark chat box, thank you !
Im not seeing any chat text, Ive opened the chat under the docks menu in OBS, is there something im doing wrong?
Same
Same
damn thanks. usually it takes a really long time untill i got anything but you made it easy.
I wish I had come here first when trying to add chat to stream. Easy, straight to the point, very helpful. THANK YOU!

Straight to the point exactly what I needed. Appreciate you very much. Liked and followed.
Can we use this method to add multiple chats like you tube and FB?
If you have set up multiple venues in OBS yes.

Streaming through restream has that option for their overlay, I honestly wish more people requested this feature.
Does this also work for restream
subscribed real quick after this tutorial, was straight to the point but also not in a way to where it was too fast and confusing!
