I see a lot of people having this issue: the results text doesn't show up in their scene. the default obs browser source dimensions are 800x600, which cuts off the bottom and hides the results text. change it to 800x800 under that source's properties and you'll be able to see it.

If what you have told me is true, you will have earned my trust.

[@NastPlays]

Well done, fellow human. I thank you for this.

[@Mlle.Shanelle]

Oh thx ❤

Love the wheel just wish i didnt have to go to dashboard to spin it. If Streamlabs could add a wheel spin button or command when that be great.

[@Yugi601]

Yes much needed feature

[@PokePirate]

Hi you state you can test the wheel from obs by going to a tab, but then you move your mouse off screen, can't see what you're talking about and I see no other options to test my wheel from obs

[@snick3rsAUS]

I'd love to see the wheel used as a raffle type system. People can enter the draw to "be on the wheel" then we can pick a winner by spinning it. Also giving us the option to either add people multiple times and with the "chance to win" sliders depending on their channel ranks or tickets bought etc :p

[@ALSAEC]

I'd like to find a way to use it for a virtual "wine wall" fundraising activity.

[@kentkather4805]

The wheel is now a lot more difficult to use.

[@BWREMYPISTOL]

VERY simple. LOVE Streamlabs! Thanks for all the support!

[@Sonicgott]

The Streamlabs app is completely missing a "Spin Wheel" button. Very annoying.

[@pieceofpanic6058]

When I click the spinwheel function in Streamlabs Chatbot, it doesn't spin the wheel.

[@calmgamer8963]

Can you do a video of how to put who won in the alert box? Like you have at time 3:51?

[@christiangab1227]

Thank you for sharing a simple guide for spin wheel in widget in streamlabs you are truly helpful ^^

[@zeriul09]

could we get it so we can do commands in chat so we dont need to go to the dashboard?

[@gucciman2054]

zeriul09 yes

[@lilasmith2038]

Gucci Man20 how?

[@TheBizzyBScience]

Yes please me too!

[@50centjohn]

Weird question, is there a possibility and/or a command, to have it in a such a way, that when you land on a reward you can have it automatically be added to a countercommand? for example let a chat see how many times you have spun, or how often it landed on a won sub?

[@nataliemendelsohn1317]

For those who are extremely frustrated just like me as to where to find THE FREAKING *SPIN THE WHEEL BUTTON*, goto streamlabs.com/dashboard#/wheel and there you will find the actual spin the wheel button. omg, why not just add it in the streamlabs application, why the extremely unhandy detour? I don't know if there is another way but omg.

[@thefifthdollar1470]

I have yet to find anywhere else to spin it from. Every tutorial is outdated as hell and nobody seems to want to provide new information.

[@TheBizzyBScience]

How do I spin the wheel whilst streaming, without logging into streamlabs? IE spin from something like stream deck? or even a shortcut key

[@TheUnflushable]

Did you find an answer to this?

[@TheBizzyBScience]

@@TheUnflushable only way was on a second computer and screen logged into stream labs, if this could work with stream deck that would be cool

[@TheUnflushable]

@@TheBizzyBScience Yeah I just had it on my second stream and clicked it when I wanted it to spin. If I work out a way to get it on stream deck I'll let you know 😉

[@theezioazper7650]

Chicos a los que no les aparezca el resultado, solo tienen que cambiar la resolucion de la imagen donde Colocan el URL, esta por defecto en 800x600, deben cambiarlo almenos 800x1200

[@TheShills]

Should be able to play an animation or vid or something depending on where it lands. Should be able to cue an audio track during spin and then another to kick in when it stops. A few things would really help this not seem so, old.

[@adambetsmax1043]

HOW do you spin the wheel???? what tab?

[@buzzerk]

no kidding right, cuz The tab helps us so much

[@ex1411]

how do you spin it

[@buzzerk]

[@Onii-chans-neko]

Is there anyways to have multiple wheel's? I'm using a streamdeck and was wanting to have multiple wheel's

[@sup3rflotv]

for obs there is not a button to launch the wheel alone ?

[@TheA.P.E]

how do you use the result template to show what they won because when i spin the wheel it doesn't pop up with any alert at all is there a way to set this up?

[@lunabistudioo]

im having the same issue, did you solve it?

[@thboywndr]

@@lunabistudioo if using obs, the default browser source dimensions (800x600) cut off the results text. change it to 800x800 under the source properties and you'll be able to see it.

[@lunabistudioo]

@@thboywndr thank you so muuuch!!

[@UltraViolenceDoom]

Sucks that we have to go into the dashbord to do this. If we could right click it in scenes and find an option 'spin' it would be super convenient.

[@Streamlabs]

We also have it in the Live tab (on the top left, the Live tab is next to the Editor tab). When you click on it. Here's a screenshot: i.imgur.com/7bLvogF.png

[@UltraViolenceDoom]

@@Streamlabs I found this not long after commenting! There's also a pop-out option so I can have it ready much quicker. Very cool! Now I just wish I could access Loyalty points and whatnot quicker.

[@ALSAEC]

Is it possible to set this up to work for a specific segment of a livestream and have it tied to donations during that segment? I'd like to figure out how to use this as a virtual wine-wall activity for a virtual event.

[@RPGSurge]

is the streamer the only one that can trigger the wheel or can we get a way so the viewers can trigger it

[@piggypickle9205]

Streamlaps Api seems to have a spin wheel endpoint. Could write your own application to expose that most likely?

[@nathox9652]

I wanted to use this for choosing a game to play.. anyway I can spin it myself?

[@jacobjavion9346]

pro tip: watch movies on instaflixxer. Been using it for watching lots of of movies these days.

[@jaxonkane358]

@Jacob Javion Definitely, have been watching on instaflixxer for months myself :D

[@joepersch6779]

So is there a way to add more sections to the wheel? Why are we limited to the number of sections that come with it?

[@alraz9556]

Wait... how do I spin it?

[@tacosushi6161]

stupid question so i got the sheel up and everything i havent done it live yet how do i trigger a spin during a live stream?? do i have to do all the way to the widget page??

[@banditsworld]

how da heck do you import it into obs studio and get commands working for it so chat can interact with it and add cooldown timer on it?

[@ThomUnderStars]

Hey, the result does not show in the chat. Do I need a bot for this? Is the command {result} right enough? Idk what to do to appear the result. Is it broken?

[@MattMacD]

is it possible to setup 2 different wheels?

[@MattLong6]

Can I automatically populate the wheel with names of those who pay to enter the giveaway in the local chat bot?

[@nthnnvlt]

I tried to use this but there's no text for the winner showing up. You have it at 3:51, can you help me?

This is soo weird! I've made all sections and category's and for some reason my text in every section is overlapped with text from another section? How can I fix this?

[@dayasims9310]

Mmmm result only shows in browser but not in OBS? The wheel is fine.. no result though? How do we fix this?

[@BuilderMega]

Why wont it snow my letter in the wheel?

[@ollyvr8026]

The Renault is not showing after I spin the wheel. anyone know why?

[@undeadavianpublishing6450]

Too bad it STILL looks terrible. Can't get the names to look good if you have drastically different lengths. One word vs 3, for example.

[@hamsterdmg]

But how do you make it invisible until something triggers it?

[@michaelkajer6713]

How do you give a free item away to someone specific though?

[@AhmadAlnajjar]

sad spin wheel vanished only once it appeared :( most streamers offer web spin wheel because they gave up maybe. however sound is hearable for the spin, not sure if its because I put darkmode? same problem it shows white only when i launch the spinwheel. not sure why you put tech support discord if there is no human to support us. neither we can chat there. Sulotion: Spin Wheel settings -> scroll down --> Enable Custom HTML/CSS-->Disabled->Save there is always a conflict between web settings and software always changing. I wish there is an easier way to add name and results we can choose ex. for ML won epic skin, Starlights or diamonds.

[@NofirstnameNolastname]

The Result Template text does not actually show up in the stream. How do I make it show up. The text only shows in the browser when you are testing it.
