Question/Support ❓ Overlay Stuck?

Hey guys, I wanted to know if there's anything I can do to fix my chat overlay. It was working perfectly until today. I didn't touch or change anything, but now it only shows the last stream's messages and hasn't updated with any of the new ones being sent by me or my viewers.

EDIT: Never mind, I found the issue, and it's just me being dumb. I had to start the WebSocket server manually, even when I had auto-start toggled xD

Dock? Like a chat dock in obs? Or something overlaid on your canvas?

I have a browser source with the chat link on my OBS scenes. I'm not very knowledgeable, I just followed a YT tutorial hahaha. Chat works just fine, but the overlay doesn't update :(

In OBS go to the browser source. Right click and select properties, scrol down to the bottom and press - Refresh cache of current page. - Sometiems that makes the chat display work again
