4 years later and this is still helping people, just wanted to let you know and sincerely thank you for this video!

So what do we do when this doesn't work and alerts still only show on the website but not OBS?

@TheChoZenOneNJ 10 ай бұрын

Exactly what I was thinking. I thought that's what this video was for and he never mentioned how to fix the actual issue was looking for lol Like i have it all set up, and it shows up, but when I am live and someone became a member on my stream, the alert didn't pop up.

@trevorroverttrevorrovert 6 ай бұрын

@@TheChoZenOneNJ I’ve been searching the internet for about four hours now trying to fix it, and they just kinda dodge the actual answer. This doesn’t actually fix it, probably just making the video for revenue from the views tbh.

@YuriLifeLove 5 ай бұрын

Try to refresh the source in OBS, that's how I fixed it...

@DaleLRoberts 3 жыл бұрын

Well done! Super helpful. I was getting hung up on the default dimensions in OBS. When I didn't change it to a 16:1 ratio, the alert was showing up, but was cut off. Once I had the dimensions right, it fired off just fine.

Yup. You helped me out a ton, too, Jimmy Kn1ves. Thank you. My alerts were working perfectly in StreamElements' overlay editor. They were showing up with sound in OBS.Live. But they were not centered and were being cut off in OBS.Live. Setting the AlertBox width and height in SE overlay editor AND making it match in the "Browser Source" part of OBS is what did the trick! Thanks again!

If someone using OBS for Linux happens to find this video, the method presented by Jimmy will not solve your problem. As of right now, February 2021, there's no Hardware Acceleration support in OBS Studio yet, so, alerts using videos will simply not work. As a workaround, you might try to convert your video to a GIF and maybe extract the sound and upload it separately to the action you're editing. Worked like a charm for me. And Jimmy, thanks for posting this. It didn't solve my problem but prompted me to the solution. In case someone is wondering, I got this info directly from the StreamElements guys, on Discord, and also from the official OBS Studio forums.

It still doesnt work for me cause I got a Streamelements Overlay and my alerts are all included there so no 1920x1080 setup possible for the small alert box lets say. The only difference I see is the custom CSS that is enabled on my overlay. Is that maybe the issue?

I tried uploading custom sounds for all the alerts, and they all worked, except for the Sub and Cheer alerts. Those won't change, even after I hit "Save" and it says "Changes saved". The sounds are still on the defaults, and I can't get them to change
