Thanks Joe.

[@BLUESURFER344]

I have been watching your videos for over a year and i just love how you put things in the simplest forms for us viewers to understand. Thank you for the hard work you puts into making them. Is there a video on setting up scoreboard in OBS?

Noel, you're a good egg. Thanks pal.

[@GMToolbox]

Seems like Twidget doesn't work anymore. It just sits at "Loading..." after entering your live URL and never connects. Started happening a couple of weeks ago and it looks like the project is no longer being developed. We need to find something new that can do this.

[@katerevvo3488]

Thanks for the video, great app! Made my life instantly easier in 7 minutes

[@ElyonmusicGh]

Is it possible to use twidgit to title my church sermons during streams in obs?

[@renan.sapdev]

Conteúdo sensacional! Não conhecia essa ferramenta. Me tire uma dúvida, por favor, funciona para o superchat? Caso funcione, tem como salvar o comentário para exibi-lo depois? Isso seria interessante para o caso de recebee muitos comentários seguidos e acabar perdendo o superchat no meio das demais mensagens.

[@newfieocean]

Scott!!! How do you stream OBS itself with out getting a mirror effect. Doesn't seem to be an option in window capture. Was gonna record or go live and do a "behind the scenes" type thing. Also a video breakdown of you editing your content would be awesome!!! Thanks again!!!

[@ScottFichter]

I think this is what you need fixed. kzbin.info/www/bejne/fobUdo19lrCSfc0

[@newfieocean]

Thanks. That should work for sure. Have you heard anything about Twidget and Facebook? Can't seem to get any comments to show...

[@ontest2008]

Hi Scott thanks as always for thee tutorials one question I have ill be using it with Facebook but do you have to select each message as it appears in the t widget app for them to show on the stream or will it just feed each message automatically as they come. Many thanks and all the best for 2022

[@ScottFichter]

This tool is designed to allow you to select the messages. The thinking is that you don't want to show everything. Not all comments are worthy for lower third placement.

[@arjaygarcia6337]

Does it work in facebook live?

[@ontest2008]

@@ScottFichter is there a method Scott instead of window capture and ctrl alt to cut it down to size

[@ScottFichter]

Folks are having problems with facebook. This tools is designed so that you select the comment that you wish to respond to. So yes, you must select the message to have it appear in the browser source. I see you point because if you get a low volume of comments it would be super cool if they all just showed up in the lower third.

[@javiersalasradio]

@@ScottFichter Yes Scott, problems with facebook connection, it just never conect. Thank you so much for all your work! it is great!

[@Crusinwithkeith]

I got all the way to the loading on twidget and it just keeps loading any idea why thank you

[@futgoloficial]

Hi Scott, I love your tutorials! I like Twidget but I am wondering if I am the only person getting these blurry and/or pixelated images and borders. Seems like it happened on your end as well. A program glitch? I tried fixing it with CSS (image-resolution: from-image 300dpi; AND image-rendering: high-quality;) but I haven't been able to make it work. Maybe a quick tutorial update addressing this issue? I know blurry/pixelated avatars is a common problem for streamers when using some apps/plugins.

[@ScottFichter]

FUTGOL, the avatar is hard coded with a very small dimension. I think it's around 70px by 70px. It's tiny. If you use CSS to make it larger it gets fuzzy. I know of no way to make it larger without making it fuzzy for this reason. I wish he coded the image at like 400px by 400px.

[@geraldoduor5482]

Which software should I use while creating animated lower third during live stream

[@ScottFichter]

Great question. Move Transitions is my go to plugin for this task.

[@internationalpaganradio]

Thanks again Scott for another amazing tutorial. This feature works great for KZbin; however, the comments not coming through on Facebook Live. It's like no matter what I did, nothing seemed to work. I tried using the new livestream Producer window url, the pop-out chat url and even scheduling the livestream and getting the link in advance of going live. In all instances, the comments just would not show up in Twidget. It has me baffled.

[@internationalpaganradio]

I now noticed it's not just me. Others have reported experiencing this issue as well, so I messaged the developer.

[@ScottFichter]

Yep, it's a problem with the software.

[@internationalpaganradio]

@@ScottFichter I noticed Meta made some changes to Facebook Live. If you click on Go Live. Then select Create Live Video. Now scroll to the bottom on the left and choose Interactivity and then Graphics. In the Graphics drop down menu, pick any graphics package. Now on the bottom right it reads: "If you're using OBS (version 25+), drag this link directly into your software to automatically load the Graphics URL". So I'm wondering if this was Meta's attempt at achieving the same thing as Twidget, but messed up how the software functions with Facebook Live in the process.

[@SallowDawn]

Does this work for superchats?

[@Deceptiondismantled]

is there one that when using obs you can have yt, twitch, fb, etc.. pop up It is 2024 and i cannot find one that says it will make all of the chats pop up!

"Please match the requested format" Did I miss the enrollment? I even added my last name just incase and I get the same thing. I do have an "AOL" email account.

Could it be that your email format was not [e-mail]? Just try it one more time and if it fails, I'll send the link to ya. To answer your question, no the sub button give-a-way will last forever.

[@Novoworks]

Yea... I won't be giving them full access to my machine, network, and google/youtube account. 🙄

[@JHess]

the network access is just for your firewall, but yeah, there is ABSOLUTELY no reason why this 3rd party app needs to have access to your google account. you're using stream keys/tokens like any other app to have access to your stream. has absolutely NOTHING to do with your google account. this app is a total security risk and i would totally advise to avoid. sorry scott, love your videos but i won't be using this app. too bad too, could totally be handy without the google account access.

[@ScottFichter]
