How to add LIVE CHAT overlays to your ATEM MINI and OBS streams!

[@Graham_Rule]

Thanks. Your mini-series has given me a lot to think about. I'll now have to work out how to integrate some of the ideas into my work's streams.

[@AlexPettitt]

Really glad to hear this Graham. Its been fun to produce this mini series and I love to hear it’s helped you.

[@younken24films]

Once again, thank you Alex! I can't wait to try out all of these great ideas and work flows you've been teaching us.

[@HeartMindTV]

can you moderate comments, i.e. just select the ones you want to go on screen like in ecamm live?

[@CG07RIDER50]

Truely awesome 🤩. I was wondering 💭 how to do that . Thanx for the video dear. Big fan. Lv u

[@freddymiguelponce]

Fantastic video as always Alex! Can i use the OBS method with just a zoom call? Thanks in advance Have a Productive and Healthy day!

[@pupu4234123]

Thanks for the Video, Alex. But iam very more interested in Content regarding PTZ Cameras and NDI Workflow. Is there something coming up near?

[@AlexPettitt]

Yep! I have something in the works on this. Excited to share soon 👍

[@StefanWolfrum]

Awesome video as always, Alex! 👍👍 Quick question: if the comments‘ bubbles had a half-transparent drop shadow ... the greenscreen way with the ATEM won’t work, right?

[@CreateConsumeRepeat]

You are the best. This is amazing. So helpful. Keep it up.

[@AlexPettitt]

Really glad you found it helpful 👍

[@frankwhite4232]

Both of you guys have helped me so much ✅🙌🏽

[@SkojSkull]

Great video! ^^ just wondering if this process works with BTTV and shows their emotes in the chat box??

[@AlexPettitt]

I don’t believe it does work with BTTV unfortunately:(

[@SkojSkull]

@@AlexPettitt ah gotcha :/ thanks for letting me know tho! ♥️

[@joeatkins4470]

Brilliant as always, thanks Alex

[@ManoAiron]

thank you!!!!

Hope, one day Blackmagic will build in a small Android core, so you can run a browser based overlay inside of the atem mini. Until then, small, cheap HDMI-Android-Stick can do the trick, too.

[@AlexPettitt]

I requested this to them about a year ago haha! Really hope they develop it one day. What android stick do you use for now?

[@boykieboykieboykie]

hi @Alex prettitt does this method work if you are using multiple cameras for a broadcast or does it only work with one angle

[@Justin_Allen]

Alex, great video. I am wondering if Restream provides a way to monitor the comments and allow for approval of them before posting live.

[@AlexPettitt]

Hey Justin, great question. The answer is not yet, but I think that could is something coming soon

[@Justin_Allen]

@@AlexPettitt Thanks Alex. This was one of the first concerns I had when doing streaming for corporations. Maybe even add the ability to have a delay in the system so that someone could intercept them vs trying to approve each individual comment one at a time.

[@soundofmind3033]

@@Justin_Allen Did you ever discover a solution to this? I am also looking for a way to "delay" the youtube comments in a live stream so a moderator can prevent any unsavory content on the overlay before it "airs". Thanks.

[@Justin_Allen]

@@soundofmind3033 I never did. However I have not really looked as the project I was working on was postponed.

[@TrueToTheCraft]

You can't use PIP if you use the upstream key. I used the downstream key and Luma to do the same thing but with the addition of PIP

[@PiersCawley]

Same here. I have a raspberry pi with chromium running in kiosk mode that handles ko-fi notifications. I need to suss out how to get both chat and the notifications on the same page though.

[@maidhci]

Great video Alex, well done. Do you know if there's anyway to pull in WhatsApp messages a live video stream?

[@bismarkowusu9082]

Awesome tutorial. Thanks

[@ElliottAbraham]

This is great. I have been wanting to do this but am using YoloBox or MelonApp for my live streaming. Would the same be possible on those platforms for streaming?

[@AndyKunkel]

Can this be done without OBS? I have the Atem Mini Pro ISO, and if I want to record ISO, I can't tap the USB C to get the video into OBS.

[@salvatormundoge9657]

Is there a way to have superchat messages automatically pop-up on screen and then disappear without any manual management? thanks

[@skakbornholm7584]

Thanks - I enjoy your streaming

[@benjaminruiz8900]

Cool and very nice flow

[@chrispaddon1740]

Great video. Nice style too

[@smoothkiwi1820]

How do you connect the atem as a webcam? It's not showing up under "Device"

[@blaqspotvisualz3213]

Thank you for introducing restream to me. But I have a problem with latency. Am using Atem mini and gopro

[@AlexPettitt]

Glad I could introduce it to you. What are your latency issues?

[@blaqspotvisualz3213]

@@AlexPettitt there’s a delay and lip sync issues.

[@younken24films]

@@blaqspotvisualz3213 You can go into the ATEM Mini audio software page and add delay to your audio input if you have the latest update installed. For me it is a two frame delay that is needed. And check out Alex's video on ATEM audio delay too to learn how to nail it perfectly.

[@elilevyproductions]

If I don't want to show all the comments, Can I choose the comments I want and show only them?

[@glkn_live]

Thank you

[@RyanPetty]

Alex, you mentioned for custom RTMP won’t work for comments. in your last video you show using Facebook as a custom RTMP, does that then exclude comment integration?

[@AlexPettitt]

Good question. So, if you use CUSTOM RTMP to send your feed to a Facebook page / profile then no, Restream wont be able to access the comments using this method. BUT if you use the Facebook integrations within Restream (IE you add channel and click on Facebook rather than custom RTMP). Then Restream will have access to the chat data :) Hope this helps!

[@tedz2000]

U r genius bro

[@thegeekintherainreviews1292]

Is there any way to do this with wirecast?

[@MentPlus]

Thanks for this.

[@mbrualokouposman3242]

Was that a dolly zoom?

[@RoadmapMBA]

Amazing thanks!

[@mattiacampanella]

@AlexPettit Is possible with restream to choose what messages I want to display?

[@AlexPettitt]

Right now, there isn’t a filtering system but I believe that’s something that’s being looked into

[@oswaldochamorro6879]

I was going to use the chat room, but you forgot to mention that when someone adds a youtube channel on this platform, they have access to your youtube information such as analytics, payments and much more. I think that is not a good idea.

[@Zoran1899]

Is this works only with public streams? (I have tried this with a not public stream as a test but none of the chats was visible.)

[@AlexPettitt]

I’ve tested with Unlisted KZbin stream and it worked, I believe private streams won’t work as it can’t get access. Hope this helps

[@Zoran1899]

@@AlexPettitt I have tried that too without any luck. Do you have to set the exact youtube link of your stream or just your channel? How does restream know which comments you need if you have multiple streams?

[@Zoran1899]

@@AlexPettitt Or is this works only if you stream to youtube via Restream not directly to youtube (with OBS)?
