How do you reduce the opacity or have no background and just the chat/notifications?.. The way you showed it, that blocks WAY too much of the screen....
This was the first question that came to my mind. I saw that in this video the opacity was set to 100% but seemed to do nothing. I’m going to mess around with this later!
I am new to streaming and I get so immersed in the game I forget to look over at the chat and miss people talking to me and they leave. this is going to help me so much thank you!!!!
I got all this set up, but the chat & recent events box is a bit big on my screen because I play on a 14 inch laptop. Is there any way to resize these boxes? I mainly want to resize the recent events box as I don't care about that as much as the chat, but if both are possible that would be great! Its just a bit too big for my liking so if anyone knows if you can resize, let me know. I'd like to thank you for this video. It was very well made, organized, and you explained the setup process so well that I was easily able to follow along with it. Thank you!
Thank you so much. Very helpful. I just have one question...How do i resize the actual stream chat box? Mine almost takes up my whole screen in game. Probably something simple, so please excuse my ignorance. Thanks
If you re-install your PC and StreamLabs OBS pulls your saved profile, the ''enable in-game'' overlay feature is disabled by default. Spent way too much time going through all the settings, except this one. This video reminded me of this settings existance in 15seconds flat. Thanks!
I can luckily use my second screen and it works fine for me but I do understand a lot of people don't have a second screen to use... so this is really handy!
Hi there.. I just got to say I love your videos and thank you so much, they really help me with streaming.. I have a slot channel, I only ever done videos but they all wanted me to stream. I have done 2 streams now but I was reading the chat from my phone. My question is, I have an overlay in OBS but that doesn't show on my screen, it is there when I edit the videos, so will the chat be there on my screen when I stream or will it be like the overlay and only be there in the recorded video? Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated, thank you..
you need to add chat into ur scenes and then play around with the settings to how you like it, this is just for you to see chat while in game its not for showing chat in the live feed if that makes sense
@@Babycarrot26 thanks for the reply buddy I finally managed to get chat to pop out & connect to live and showing up on a single monitor all it needed was logging out and back in ffs! Iol
I have one question. Does this technique work when you are working on something like Photoshop or any digital painting software? Most help videos like these are aimed at gaming Streams, but it would be super helpful if this would work for my art streams
This was so helpful! thank you for the information! I have just started streaming on RUclips (intend to switch to twitch later when I get better at editing stuff.)
nice but the only problem is that it takes up some off your screen and blocks view also does the people watching the screen see that on the window or only us ?
@TheVideoNerd is there an app to control my OBS from phone , since I shifted from Streamlabs OBS to OBS Studio for a better streaming option , plus I am going to subscribe to own3d.tv to get overlays and alerts
Thankyou :) I was having issues until I watched this. I have liked and subscribed :) Where are you from by the way? Just wondering where your accent is from :)
The thing with me, is I have the exact same settings on my laptop as I do on the PC - laptop works without a hitch, but pc, I don't get the events or chat overlay
I've recently used obs studio for streaming and the VOD settings is already turned on but then after I finished streaming I find out that my channel for my recent stream doesn't exist why is that?

I WAS SERIOUS ABOUT THE MIC. With or without?
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, with is a little better I think.
With
with looks cooler!
Off it looks awesome
without looks better but with sounds btter to me
This is still very helpful, but it can be shortened. Not a 10min video, this is the same length for me to learn altogether how to use this software.
10 min vids get a lot more money, the only reason it’s 10+minutes long lol

Love it! I was actually thinking how i was able to view my chat while i stream. thank you!
Yeah I also
You could also add your facewith streamlabs

@@Ouijamage it's been 6 months, did you figure something out?
@@Locymt actually I just decided not to bother with it. I just use stream manager on my iPad to see chat.
@@Ouijamage You can use this app called "see through windows" which lets you plug the window on top of all the elements and even reduces it's opacity.
I am new to streaming and I get so immersed in the game I forget to look over at the chat and miss people talking to me and they leave. this is going to help me so much thank you!!!!
Thanks but how do I change the size of it since mine is huge?
I love your content. I'm trying to start streaming and this video really helped. Thanks for the material you're sharing.

Hey The Video Nerd! How do I make the chat and alerts smaller?
Hey I have a big big question that I need help with. How do I make the boxes smaller?
Thank you this was very helpful!❤️ but I was wondering some people, on their streams, it’s transparent and not a black box how do I do that?
Click Settings, game overlay, in game overlay it will say "Overlay Opacity" then you toggle which % transparency you want!
@@ruthibeee9761 theres a different way to have the chat on the screen without this overlay garbage too tho
@@TyBrezzy11 good to know! I’m learning as well thank you

I use PlayStation Remote play and stream via OBS can you get chat overlay to appear on PlayStation Remote play when playing?
To people who want to make it smaller why don't you just use the Overlay Opacity which makes the overlay more see through
thank you so much
bro that makes the chat harder too see too
do you need to have the premium version of stream labs for this????
no!
Great vid, dies it work on RUclips and Twitch?
yes! :) whatever you're logged in with on streamlabs obs
