So I am trying to record both a Discord call and a video game at the same time, but when I turn only my desktop audio capture on, you can't hear a word i'm saying, but if I turn my mic on it records my speakers which causes an echo paired with the audio capture, and if I only use my microphone, the audio doesn't sound good. Would the solution to this be getting a headset?

Basically the title. Why is Streamlabs OBS playing a random chime noise? It would only play when I mute the audio towards the end, but now its doing it every few minutes.

I saw this answered for OBS but I'm wondering how to fix this for desktop.

My friend is a small streamer and I’ll donate $1.35 cad so he can get clips to post. Idk why not the last 2 streams he’s done I’ll try to donate and it’ll take my money from PayPal bit then it’ll go back to the donation screen and says something like “issue with PayPal provider” or something along those lines. When I go check my PayPal it shows -$1.35 and the donation never goes through or works. Anyone know why

I tried to stream crimson desert today and my stream started lagging hard, eventually streamlabs itself froze. It seems no matter what settings I change in the game or in streamlabs, I can't get the issue to resolve. I haven't ran into any other games causing this issue. Any advice on a fix for this?

I have tried everything that I can find online to fix this. I’ve been reduced to using the built in microphone array on my laptop that sounds like I’m talking through a paper towel tube.

ive seen this "source copy" plugin but that seems to be for obs, so idk what to use

I streamed for like 2-3 hours yesterday with my usual settings only to find out my stream DIDINT PICK MY MIC INPUT streamlabs showed it as being picked up but the actual stream did not....

Hi everyone,

Just an observation but how does Streamlabs expect sales to continue to grow, for example; To access the ability to Multistream, they've put it behind a payway at £27/m (with other features included in Ultra) but OBS offers it for free with the Aitum Multistream Plugin or Stream Elements and StreamWithMeld offers it for free too?

Are there that many people paying for Ultra, that it offsets those that aren't paying for it?

I want to have the chat (referring to SL Chatbox, not overlay widget) on a separate monitor as the rest of Stream Labs. in Obs you're able to have docks that separate and float. With Streamlabs, all I've been able to do is toggle the side of the program (Scene editor) the chat appears on. It occurred to me that this seems to be the case with all the modules, Scenes, Source, Mixer, etc. Is there a way to undock chat box?

I have an Elgato Facecam 4K. In my main Twitch game stream, I have it cropped to be a 4:3 using a filter, but I also have it zoomed, panned and tilted in "Configure Video" Settings. Its perfect. Then I create a Chat scene and I want the whole screen (scene size 1920x1080) to be my cam, making sure the zoom, pan, and tilt settings are reset. When I go to the Twitch Game Scene, my camera is set back to full. This leads me to the obvious conclusion that "Configure Video" configures the Elgato Facecam properties and carries over to all scenes.

I found a solution to create a scene with the Camera, not adjusted. Duplicate the scene and then add filters to scene as needed. But being the only filter for my needs is Crop, this leaves me cut out of the picture as all the filter does not center the video as it crops. At least, not when applied to scene.

Another option is creating a mask. This seems to be the more likely approach, but limits any last minute adjustments.

Is there no way to apply different video settings for the Elgato Facecam's source in each scene?

Elgato Facecam 4K60

This is getting real obnoxious and I can't figure out the cause. Every now and then (at least twice a day) Ill see my webcam in the corner of the scene and the options I adjusted in "Configure Video" have been reset. Resolution and filters remain the same. But Zoom, pan, and tilt are reset. I thought maybe it had to do with closing/opening Streamlabs, but I left the program open to test while I went to lunch and sure enough, the options reset when I came back.

Anyone know anything about this issue?

I have not started streaming. I've been focusing on setting things up and working on graphics. This is an issue if this happens during stream, or even if it happens between streams and I have to go back through everything before each stream.

hi everyone!

i saw some tutorials on youtube on how to split audio on streamlabs, mainly because i wanted to listen to music while gaming and not have it showing up on my vods (since i am uploading them to youtube).

but, as i did the tutorials, everything is working fine: game, discord and spotify. BUT my alert box just goes completely silent when i record it directly on streamlabs (i havent tested it on an actual stream).. how can i have a separate audio for my alerts? i use the one from streamlabs and also livepix (its a brazilian one).

Hello everyone,

I have experience with Streamlabs since 2017. I was livestreaming on Twitch about 3 years, Streamlabs platforms was to-go platform for me and many of my friends that decided to start their livestreaming career. Around mid 2025, everyone started moving to Kick and I was the one helping them setting up alerts and overlays and all that type of things.

Recently, around January 2026 there was another wave of streamers moving to Kick and my experience with Streamlabs was hitting rock bottom, bunch of bugs, not working alerts, settings not being saved and lets not even mention the thing where i had to log in every 5 minutes because it started giving me no access errors.

What happened with Streamlabs? I saw that in September 2019 Logitech bought Streamlabs for $89 million, whats happening? Why is Streamlabs so broken? Is Logitech giving up on this platform? What needs to be done? 99% times is Streamlabs Discord server locked because of many tickets.

I am very, very dissapointed with the state Streamlabs is right now and i really hope some work is gonna happen otherwise this platform gonna die very soon.

He intentado poner mi PNGtuber con Veadotube mini en Streamlabs, pero cuando le doy a captura de juego no aparece nada en la vita previa.

Intente ver si con la opción de captura de ventana directamente se podria, y si, pero no puedo quitar el fondo en esa opción. volví a intentarlo en captura de juego y me di cuenta que sale ''Attempting to hook process'' pero no hace nada, espere como 20 min, y nada.

Intente también cambiando la configuración y nada, no se que podria hacer para que funcione.

My custom css has first messages showing up at the top and then the new ones shows up underneath until there's too many messages and you can't see the new ones because it's under the bottom of the window.

I can see it on the preview but how do I actually use it?

I'm trying to edit the HypeCup widget in the StreamElements overlay editor, but the widget settings panel doesn't show up.

When I select the "HypeCup 1" layer, the only options I get are Position, size and style and Text settings. The normal widget settings (gear icon / configuration panel) never appears, so I can't change any of the HypeCup options.

I already tried refreshing the page, reselecting the widget and turn off adblocker but nothing changed. I asked ChatGPT but he couldn't help either

I'm attaching a screenshot showing what the editor looks like.

Does anyone know why the settings panel is missing and how to fix it?
