How to display YouTube Chat with OBS Studio Custom Docks

In this video I show how you can use OBS studio custom docks to be able to bring in your YouTube live chat when streaming on OBS Studio. This will NOT work on Streamlabs obs.

the custom dock feature is only in obs studio and not for streamlabs obs. This tutorial focuses only on obs studio to display the chat. To learn more about browser source & chatbox watch the following videos below. Those videos apply to Streamlabs OBS and OBS Studio.

Also if it says “something went wrong” when you post the chat url you cant have the stream private. It must be public or unlisted.

UPDATE: 5/18/21 - a fellow viewer did some digging and found this info below

"One of the web developers from OBS addressed this very issue. They said: "This is entirely up to Google. We use CEF (Chromium Embedded Framework) to power the browser, and last year they decided to block it.

So, essentially, Google is blocking OBS half of the time and OBS has no workaround nor will be providing one."

POSSIBLE WORK AROUNDS!
1. update google chrome.
2. reset your google chrome settings to default
3. pop out the chat from your watch page to view/chat in it. You can still use this video method to display it on stream though, just cannot type into it unless its popped out.

**If I find other methods I will update this pinned comment. Sadly it works for some people and not everyone and I cannot find out why other than Google blocking it for some of you.**

Glad you pointed out at 2m in that you have to update the URL. As a former web dev the changing URL was obvious to me, but potentially not to others. Cheers man!
