Man you are the first one who really teaches something new and not so obvious things. Good luck to you! It was really interesting and i got something new.
Thanks for this. One of the better videos on this subject. Touch Portal has a few issues however. The On Press is really an On Release. In your example where you press one button (A) and the text in another button (B) changes, the change only happens when you release the button (A). This makes using On Hold worthless, as the change in button (B) only happens when you release button (A). So say for turning a dial or moving a slider, this doesn't work. They need to either make On Press happen when the button goes down and add an On Release, or add additional command to On Hold to modify Custom States etc. For just simple quick presses it's fine, but they have quite a way to go to get the bugs out. Thanks for the vid!!
I just found this video via a link from TheFranswah Studio channel and so glad I did! Great explanations and tips - looking forward to seeing more of your content!
This is exactly the kind of information that I NEEDED! Nothing else I've watched has mentioned customizing the state changes, and I knew there must have been a way to do this without creating multiple pages!! Now I'm about to go see if you've done any similar tutorials on how to do this to switch between camera angles in OBS
Great tutorial man! I'm just getting started with Touch Portal and you just saved me a MASSIVE amount of time and headache! Thanks a million and I hope to catch one of your streams!
Thank you. You have a really nice way about you as a teacher: relaxed, clear without either over detailing and stating the obvious, and showing me how to do something more creative than I'd thought. You really should do more of these when you have time.
Thank you so much for showing this. I've been using SoundPad and getting frustrated with the clunky set up with how it plays sounds back. I love Touch Portal so I'll be looking into this for sure! Have a great day buddy!
I'm a bit behind the times on this Video, but Wow that is so cool. thank you for sharing! Any chance to get the icons? or are they now in Assets on touch portal? either way great video.
Great Tutorial super clear and explained prefectly, love the detailed explanations on button states, and the visual on/off color changing. Gonna further apply this to other aspects of my Touch Portal setup. Thanks, hope to see other Videos on Touch Portal from you..
@@NowLetUsPlay Its agreat Program, hope to see alot more content on different setups, Custom States are one thing i really need to learn they seem to be thhe ground work for complex controls
Hi, first of all an absolutely great tutorial. I'm trying to do the same thing with just the stream - recording and sounds/clips. Unfortunately, that doesn't work for me at all. I take my buttons and add them like you did, but it only works with sound files? I want to put all the buttons I need for streaming into Stream and everything for recording into Recording. But unfortunately it is not feasible for me, even though I have taken over the buttons from my original buttons.
small youtuber here .. ( i subbed ) what a great video .. this is essentially coding with gui .. was lost when i first seen it as im trying too set up .. be great if all this was something you could just download and save too use .. from others .. love the tab system for sure .. real good idea .. im tying too get one set up for live streaming also mine is a mess compared :) thank you
Awesome thank you so much! Hope to get back to regular content soon. Between work and my kid doing remote school because... 2020 I've been spread a bit thin.
Now Let Us Play . Same here. My daughter is at University, everything is done remotely, it’s a terrible time for everyone bro. Just got to stay home if you can. Stay safe pal, that’s more important right now. I’m Steve, Hi from Scotland...👍👍👍
Hi thank you for this tutorial. I'm able to do it because of this. However I just have some questions and hopefully you can help me. For example I have 2 buttons that will play 2 different music at the same time and I need one button to stop only one music out of those 2 musics that are currently playing. Since on your tutorial we selected stop all audio. I'm trying to figure out on how to stop specific music I played/triggered. Second is. On my 1st page I have mute/unmute button for my mic and also on the second page I also have this. Now my issue is when I click mute on the 1st page the 2nd page mute button is not updating on the current state of the mic. So it resulting for me to look on the OBS screen to double check if my mic is muted or not or press the mute buttton 3 times up to my needed state, Sorry for my english :) Again you are so helpful to me! More tutorial please! I'm planning to buy pro version of this app because of you! :)
I've been thinking about this and I haven't figured out a way to stop specific music. What you could do is put stop all audio as the first step on each button. That would stop any previously playing audio when you hit the second button. For the mute button, since you have it on both pages you'd need to link the status of the two buttons. You can either do this with a custom state for your mic being muted or under logic use "when button state changes" and inside this use set button state (this is for the button you pressed) and add Change Button state by ID. This will allow you to update the other button at the same time. You can find the individual button IDs on the bottom so the button settings panel. Hope this helps
Thank you! I think I found some basic instructions from the plug in Dev but I can look at doing a setup video. One tip with that plugin is when you set the playback Play/Pause button (i use toggle playback) I needed to add the Playback Start Through Device action and select my PC as well. If nothing is playing initally the toggle doesn't work.
@@NowLetUsPlay So i attempted to add the Playback Start through Device but when i did there is no devices listed in the drop down. is this something common? can i be fixed? did the plugin not work fully?
@@davidwakim8281 can't say for certain. I'm assuming if there is no device listed then the plug-in isn't configured fully. I should note I'm using the spotify program on the pc not the web player.
@@NowLetUsPlay where did you get your plugin, maybe i am using a "bad one", but on the PC did you download from the browser or is it from the Microsoft store?
@@davidwakim8281 I downloaded the Touch portal spotify plug in from the link on the touch Portal website. As for the Spotify player I downloaded that from the spotify site not the windows store
Ah gotcha. In short what I do is create a Gifs page on OBS and use touch portal to show/hide the source for a set amount of time.. usually match it to the sound clip length. I'll try to make a video on that if work slows down enough.
@@NowLetUsPlay Please and thanks. I have loads of Ideas for my stream. Like, can Touch Portal work with videos too? Wanna do like video shout-outs or something.
I'm assuming you are trying to send the sound to your voice chat. In order to do that you need something like voicemeter to mix your mic and touchportal audio together.
Sorry I must have never sent the reply. Playback will go to your stream if you are sending your default desktop audio to OBS. Desktop audio mixing can go down a bit of a rabbit hole depending on how granular you want to get.
Question though, and this may be a solution I completely overlooked. Is there a way to get the sounds played to go through mic input? Say you are in a discord group call and want it to play through to the call with other streamers. Is that possible with touch portal?
I would do this is by using a virtual mixer like Voicemeeter and a virtual cable or Voicemeeter Banana since it has virtual outputs built in. Since Discord only takes a single input (your mic) by default you'll need to "mix" the audio from touch portal with you mic. You would then change your Discord input device to the mixed output of Voicemeeter.
@@bearpoopcoffee I've only used voicemeeter. It is a full feature mixer and I would definately reccomend it. There is a bit of a learning curve but it is very feature rich. Looking at sound pad it appears to let you send sounds to the mic output but they are all contained in soundpad. If you wanted to control playing the sounds via touchportal with soundpad you would need to assign hotkeys in soundpad and have touch portal "press" them.
Hello. How can i setup my website buttons to show up in separate windows? When the pages open i want them to open in separate windows and in the same position as before.
Any idea how to change the output device for the sounds in touch portal? I use VoiceMeter and i can change the ouput device to VAIO3 in windows sound settings, but then there is no playback anymore. other sources are working fine on VAIO3 at the same time (like foobar2000)
It's hard to say. If you have the TouchPortal output set to VAIO3 input under App volume and device preferences I'd assume you would see it coming in voicemeter. Unless you need to restart touchportal after applying the setting. I haven't tweaked mine it's going out default, but my default is set to voicemeter VAIO
I've only used .wav files on TP so I'm not 100%. I would check the windows audio mixer as well to make sure TP is sending audio to the correct device. I belive it uses an internal java player so it's hard to tell if it's playing something or not.
Hey sorry for the late response. I assume you want to have a gif of something pop up on your stream. You can absolutely add the commands to these buttons. I use OBS so if you have the web socket setup you'll use OBS source control. This way you can show/hide any gif you have on your current scene.
Off the top of my head, assuming you are on Windows right click your sound icon in the task bar and open volume mixer. Make sure touch portal is playing on the output you are listening to.
The easiest way I would do this is by using a virtual mixer like Voicemeeter and a virtual cable or Voicemeeter Banana since it has virtual outputs built in. Since Discord only takes a single input (your mic) by default you'll need to "mix" the audio from touch portal with you mic. You would then change your Discord input device to the mixed output of Voicemeeter.
