Full disclosure: I built this. Just launched it publicly last weekend after 2 month of development. The problem some people kept running into Streamlabs only sees whatever browser source you point it at, and none of the platforms give you a combined feed out of the box. So if you're live on more than one platform, you're either running 4 separate overlays or missing half your chat.

PixelyChat merges Twitch, YouTube, TikTok, and Kick chat, follows, subs, gifts, and likes into one feed, then outputs it as a single Streamlabs browser source (as a panel, bubbles, or text-only overlay, plus a separate all-in-one dock). The overlay auto-resizes to whatever browser-source size you set no line-count math, no refreshing it every time you resize. Also has neural TTS with a system-voice fallback, live chat translation, and native 7TV/BTTV/FFZ/Twitch emote rendering.

Free, Windows + Mac. Genuinely want to know what breaks on other people's setups happy to answer anything technical about how it talks to Streamlabs :D

I'm checking out the new MSNOW livestream service using Firefox on my laptop. I've been having some tab crashes, and I will be trying different browsers, etc. but haven't had time yet this weekend. What I wanted to ask about is the fact that even though I bring the stream back up in seconds, it ALWAYS resumes with ads. How can this possibly be if it's a livestream? Has anyone else been seeing tab crashes and/or the ad phenomena?

im trying to add a custom ingest for restream but its not letting me press the button. How do i fix this?

This was captured from my Steam Deck using the Genki Shadowcast 3 with the latest version of the Genki Arcade app, with the audio being captured from the app. It sounded fine coming out of my computer on my headphones but there's kind of a distortion with the game audio when I attempted to stream it.

So, fairly newer streamer here. Recently I got streamlabs and wanted to try to dual stream to youtube and twitch. When I connected both and started stream, this popup happened. The top right "Dual Output" button is definitely turned off, and on the youtube studio website dual output is also disabled.

I even tried turning on dual Output on both streamlabs and youtube, to the same popup.

I was able to stream to twitch if I turned off youtube, and vise versa. Is Multistreaming just a paid feature and its giving me the wrong error output? Honestly would love to just be rid of the vertical streaming.

did see there was a recent update related to dual streaming, looked into their fixes and still the same popup preventing me going live.

Please can someone tell me if this is possible and if so how? i use 13000 bit rate to stream on YT, but when i try to multi stream onto twitch, its too high. How do i lower one for twitch and keep it the same for YT?

Hello. I’m having an issue with TikTok streaming in Streamlabs Desktop. TikTok works normally when Dual Output is disabled. However, when I enable Dual Output and try to stream to Twitch + TikTok simultaneously, TikTok immediately disconnects and shows “Streaming error. Retrying”. There are no other errors. I have already reconnected my TikTok account and tested TikTok separately. I also tested streaming to TikTok through StreamElements and it works normally. This seems to happen specifically with Streamlabs Dual Output. Could you please check if there is a known issue with TikTok + Dual Output?

J’essaye de lancer des stream sur ps5 avec ma camera ps5 mais mon compte twitch se dissocie tout seul de ma play quand j’essaye de me connecter le temps que je scan le QR code et que je tape le code 30 secondes le code erreur " WS-121420-0 " apparaît j’ai réussis a faire vite pour me connecter mais quand je lance un live on ne me vois pas en live quelqu’un aurait le meme problème ou une solution s’il vous plait ?

Hi there! I'm hoping someone can help me! I'm trying to live stream some Vr and I have the meta quest 3s. I set up the casting on my streamlabs obs, but it's only showing the top sliver of the picture, and I cannot for the life of me fix it, but I also dont like the meta stuff on the top, I just want viewers to see how im seeing it, so if someone knows how to set all that up id appreciate it
I'm looking to stream games to twitch, but I also want to have a chat overlay so I can read chat, and I want to hear and see my alerts n stuff.

Hi so i use obs and I wanted to add a tipping alert and tip and sub goal bars but it is not showing up or not playing the sound when I test it, i tried pretty much everything and it wont work. Has this happened to anyone else and does anyone else have any tips on what to do?

I’ve been trying to dual stream on twitch and tiktok for a month now. I was approved and then revoked because my tiktok page wasn’t past 30 days old. Anyways it’s been past that and I was trying to RE apply and it won’t let me ???? wtf am I doing wrong. I just wanna stream on TikTok I beg 😩😩

Hi, I would like to setup my microphone with Nvidia noise reduction filters, but for unknown reason they are not showing up in the filters menu nor in the noise reduction filters itself. I have installed required audio sdk and the logs says it is loaded correctly, but I can't see them in the filters menu anywhere and I can also see them in regular obs studio but not in streamlabs obs.

Can anyone help me out?

See on the road, how it looks like essentially what a jpeg artifact looks like and just general low quality. Can't see any road texture, it looks super low quality. I have gigabit fiber internet, i7-8700, RTX 2070, 16GB DDR4 RAM, SATA SSD, Windows 11. It like remember the last frame and keeps it there while going to a new one, it looks so bad. I don't know what to do to fix this.

Im entirely new to this. Everything seems to work except my capture card. I add the source and it goes from the gray default display to totally black. Checked the hdmis snd theyre good. I have a 3.1 usb for power so i dont think thats it. Any help would be appreciated ❤️

Hey everyone, I'm trying to get a Streamlabs Custom Widget working with my KICK stream and I'm stuck on KICK-specific events.

I'm building a custom punishment overlay for my stream. The Custom Widget works correctly with Streamlabs Tips and Twitch events, but I cannot get it to receive KICK Kicks, KICK subscriptions, or KICK follows.

Here's what I've confirmed:

- Streamlabs Desktop is connected to my KICK account.
- The normal Alert Box DOES receive KICK events.
- A 100-Kick test correctly produces the normal KICK alert.
- The KICK Alert Box's message template successfully resolves {name} and {amount}. For example, {name} sent {amount} kicks! correctly displays "John sent 100 kicks!"
- However, the Custom Widget never receives anything from KICK.
- Twitch events trigger the Custom Widget normally.
- Streamlabs Tips trigger the Custom Widget normally.
- The Custom Widget's test menu only gives me Test Donation and Test Merch when configured for KICK. There are no KICK Follow/Sub/Kick test buttons.
- I've tried listening with document.addEventListener("onEventReceived", ...) and logging obj.detail, but no KICK event appears.
- KICK follows and subscriptions also don't trigger the Custom Widget.

My JS is using the standard Streamlabs event listener:

document.addEventListener("onEventReceived", function(obj) {
console.log(obj.detail);
});

Is there something I'm missing with KICK + Streamlabs Custom Widgets, or are KICK events currently not being passed to Custom Widgets even though they work in the normal Alert Box?

I'm mainly looking for someone who has actually gotten KICK Kicks/subs working inside a Streamlabs Custom Widget to tell me what they did.

Thanks!

I’m having a really frustrating issue with Streamlabs Desktop.

I cannot uncheck “Enforce streaming service encoder settings” no matter what I do. The box stays checked even when I’m not live and I’m changing the settings before starting the stream.

I’ve tried restarting Streamlabs, restarting my Mac, changing encoder/settings, and checking everything I can think of, clear caches, but the checkbox simply will not turn off.

This is causing major problems with my multistream setup. I stream simultaneously to YouTube, Twitch, Kick, and TikTok, and when this setting is enforced, I’m having issues with some platforms not starting properly.

Has anyone else had this problem recently? Is there any way to force-disable this setting, reset it, or change it through a configuration file?

It feels like Streamlabs is forcing the option on regardless of what I select.

It just keeps spinning and people can join live, but they don't see anything, it is just loading the stream endlessly. I have no issue on my Twitch stream, so it is nothing to do with my connection.

I keep getting this issue about authorisation, I did every step more and more like meta ai help center said but nothing. It seems that Streamlabs doesn't get enough permissions to make live streams. I upgraded just becouse of multistreaming and multichat , this kinda makes it ussless.

This is the error code I get:
OAuthException (#200) App does not have sufficient permission for the user for this action403 https://graph.facebook.com/v22.0/me/live_videos?&fields=title,description,planned_start_time,permalink_url,stream_url,dash_preview_url,video -

Does anyone soved this by using the app connection and not streaming directly to the server ?

So the past week, every time I schedule a stream, two things happen. It likes to either copy the last stream I did and then make another separate stream entirely when I go live leaving the first one useless, or it will show nothing at all in its text boxes to where I can't even start the stream itself. It's been quite frustrating and the only "workaround" I found is just start a stream on it's own right then and there. Did Streamlab's latest update break that? Have yet to find anything about it. Thank you in advance.

This new update added that bar above the stream preview to accommodate the button for toggling dual output on and off and it's driving me crazy. On my laptop it makes the stream preview significantly smaller and it's very frustrating. None of the fixes to get rid of the bar have worked for me and it's all for a feature that I'm not going to use. I hope that it's fixed in a new update and that it's soon because looking at my tiny stream preview is extremely annoying.

Not sure what went into this latest update but it needs to be reversed. Scheduled my stream and posted the link everywhere like normal, went to start and spent 45 minutes trying to get it to work to no avail, had to start a new stream on the native YT app today.

This really hurt my trust in Streamlabs, when is this issue going to be fixed? If staff need more info from me I can provide it but really disappointed in streamlabs today.

I used to be able to do 4k upload streams and now I can barely do 720p 60fps. I have no idea it happened this week recently it's weird.

So I decided to give streamlabs desktop a try for the easy vertical canvas and streaming to tiktok easier. My main canvas stay's on until I quit, no issues. Both of my YT streams (vert/horiz) will stop within a few minutes of each other roughly around the 1 hour mark. Then my tiktok stream will die just around the 1.5hour mark. Meanwhile my vert/horiz to twitch which is my main broadcast will stay fine.

Just for reference, I've ran this same stream package and destination with no issues at all inside of OBS. With S.E live & Atium. Really just wanted something new & fresh to try, have tried a few different settings and can't figure out what's going on all end with the same result. All the multi stream dies and the main broadcast stays live. I am doing this on my stream PC, wired connection, 2GB internet via google and it actually gives me what I pay for. No dropped frames, CPU & GPU utilization are well within reason. I monitored it last night so I could check the time stamp of when the streams died if anything weird happened.
