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!

[Jordy_Jords]

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

[phillyphandan]

I wish I had come here first when trying to add chat to stream. Easy, straight to the point, very helpful. THANK YOU!

[derhfrag]

was able to get the chat on obs but when i type to see if it goes through the messages don’t go through

[stephanieeblacas]

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.

[DarkDan]

Straight to the point exactly what I needed. Appreciate you very much. Liked and followed.

[TheMysteriousSpycrab]

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.

[shnobay]

it's been years since i've done this setup so thank you because I completely forgot how to add chat. Got straight to the point!

[iTzKonKon]

Im not seeing any chat text, Ive opened the chat under the docks menu in OBS, is there something im doing wrong?

[everNap]

is there a way to make it so i can see the chat on my screen too?

[noobyWasTaken.]

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

[Kai-kznd]

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

[Dragon_ice]

when i type in my stream chat it shows up on the stream elements website but not obs? do you know how to fix this?

[ARandom_Toad]

Does this work on youtube? I tried the exact same steps but nothing shows up on the chat

[xsm]

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

[Utomneian]

the Browser in OBS displays "this page cannot be found" even though i followed everything step by step...

[drofessor]

Lifesaver! just recently switched from slobs to obs and felt helpless with the dark chat box, thank you !

[Island_Heights]

Super helpful, short and quick to the point. Best video about this topic I've seen. Thanks.

[bennet]

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

[omarthepsycho]

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!
