SE.Live is a tool that StreamElements built in order to help streamers get all of the information and tools they need to succeed, right there in OBS. The below information should help you with solving some common issues users run into with SE.Live.
Commands not working:
If your commands stop working and you're indeed using SE.Live and the custom bot name, please follow these steps:
- Step 1. In SE.Live, click the three stripes at the top left of your Activity Feed to expand the menu
- Step 2. Click Stream Settings > Custom bot name
- Step 3. In the Custom bot name field select Set custom bot name, and not your already existing username (with capital letters)
Note: If you already connected an account that way, the third entry will show as the account name (see image) - Step 4. Scroll down and click the purple Connect Custom Bot Account button
- Step 5. Log in as usual and Authorize the custom bot name
- Step 6. Back in the Activity feed, click on the Send Test Message button and check if your custom bot name starts working again
Experiencing issues with authorizing the custom bot:
If you're seeing issues with authorizing the custom bot account (common issue being that the account doesn't show as connected in the Activity Feed settings even though it seemed like authorization with Twitch passed), follow these steps to completely reset the integration:
- Step 1. Right-click your OBS desktop shortcut (not the SE.Live shortcut) and navigate to Properties
- Step 2. In the Target field, add the following to the very end: --remote-debugging-port=40404 (don't forget to add a space before the current path)
- Step 3. Launch OBS (or restart if it was open)
- Step 4. Open your web browser and type in: localhost:40404 (try 127.0.0.1:40404 if you see issues)
- Step 5. Click on StreamElements - Activity feed
- Step 6. Navigate to the Console tab
- Step 7. Type the following into the console and hit enter:
- store.customBot.removeCustomBotIntegration().then(e => console.log('success', e)).catch(e => console.error('failed', e))
- Step 8. Try setting the custom bot name based on the above instructions
- Step 9. Remove the flag added in step 2 from your shortcut properties
This should result in proper authentication and allowing you to choose your custom bot account from the Activity Feed settings dropdown.
