[@witesugar]

I've been using streamlabs for years and just got tired of it not working properly or doing exactly what I've wanted it to do. But, I felt the task of moving to obs daunting. Your video just allowed me to do this in less than 30 minutes and I'm so grateful I found your video! Thank you!

[@GamerBenYT]

same bro

[@davidluna8903]

Spent HOURS trying to import a scene collection and your telling me all I had to do was check a box? Thank you so much lol

[@doobieholdin]

Times like these I appreciate the internet a lot, thanks a ton.

[@brittwells720]

Thank you so much for making this! One of my good friends is a streamer and she was using Streamlabs and is transitioning to OBS and hopefully this will give her some tips! 💙

[@sicjoker]

Been a SLOBS streamer for the past year and this helped so much. Especially when you showed where to click and point for certain points. Streamlabs scenes and over to obs helped so much. Nice detail. Thank YOU!!

[@ronniekoomba922]

You're a blessing for following through with so many guides and helpful things. Thank you for everything you do!!

[@Fittiboy]

This video is a great resource! Props for covering every aspect, including merch!

[@Vortica_]

This was concise and very easy to follow. Thank you!

[@ubatch]

[@ArcCryptidArt]

Thanks gonna be coming back to this later when I get home

[@hessblade]

Thanks a ton for this. Really helped break down everything so it was easy to do really quick!

[@Nismopanda7]

Just switched over back to OBS finally!

[@secretraregaming]

Thanks I was searching for a reputable source for a link to obs after the google ad debacle. So thanks I'll be looking into more of your channel to learn how to use obs and stream elements!

[@linearfusion738]

This dude is like ferb from the show. But I'm def subbing lol

[@realdadgaming]

Just what I need! You earned my sub!

[@bearicute]

hii, i came into an issue with win capture audio and stream elements in obs. when i open se.live in obs, it seems win capture audio is no longer able to function correctly, as my music source doesn't work and i no longer have the option to add application output capture. have you run into this issue? i am struggling to set up stream elements - pls help 😭😅

[@polark]

Thanks man. This was really helpful

[@kharmastreams8319]

Only drawback with nerd or die quick import to streamelements, is that it seems to be forced to 1920x1080. Would be really nice to be able to specify the resolution needed for the import

[@WhereNerdyisCool]

Thank you for making this. I was drawn to StreamLabs because of the ease of using the plugins. Now I’m eager to ditch them

[@HectorR118]

Very helpful my dude! Moving everything over asap

[@tyrazeealt]

actually a lifesaver jesus

[@Un_Elysian]

Perfect timing - I’ve been STRUGGLIN with setting my alerts back up on SE 😂😂

[@jameskaranu]

Thank you Gaming Careers for these great tips. I have been looking to move back to OBS as well

[@MinbadTheFourth]

Well thank you, m8! Owing to you, I could switch from Desktop to Studio with all my scenes properly imported. It worked perfectly for me!

[@jasperdiscovers]

What a well-timed video 😁😁 smart man!

[@1FACADE]

Looking for advice, I want to setup to stream on PS4 using a Chromebook instead of a PC, with a capture card.

[@Absta]

This really helped, thank you!

[@TopFuelMechanic]

Pete, you are a wealth of knowledge. Thanks for all the video's

[@aitrislol]

Thanks for the video, helped getting rid of streamlabs and was well put together !

[@reiina]

Honestly I have been DREADING the move, and procrastinating because I thought it was gonna be a nightmare. BUT thanks to your video it's been a breeze some steps of your video weren't needed because I think that streamelements or streamlabs had updates or something lol THANK YOU SOO MUCH

[@MadridTheGod]

When you transferred your scenes did it automatically make your alerts the same as the were in SLOBS?

[@shaebudzz51]

Great video! so helpful, thank you for your service sirr

[@StringoYT]

This was Very Helpful Thank you very much :)

[@MostafaAlsayed1988]

Amazing informative video man, thanks for the help 😀😀

[@giulienedits]

Thank you for this tutorial

[@dontragequitbro]

Great video, thanks man! :)

[@liliespetals19]

Ahhhh, I started to move my alerts and commands manually. I don't have many yet but figuring out the different wildcards ( I think?) to indicate user/sender/etc is a task

[@planetatera]

Thanks for this!

[@CarbonitePlays]

Tried using the import feature to pull my Alertbox over from Streamlabs but it seemed to not work properly as my alertbox previously was set to 800x800 and the importer seemed to want to just make everything scale and end up outside of my alertbox's canvas - tried swapping to 1920x1080 to match my canvas size on OBS but it wasn't having it...resigned myself to making an entirely new (and probably better!) alertbox from scratch now on StreamElements' site after repeated attempts to import failed. Other than that though, swapping to OBS has been pretty simple!

[@EverstillTV]

Do you know how to import ko-fi donations to stream elements activity feed?

[@Si1ence44]

how did you get your twitch chat and activity feed dock overlay to go to the right of the main display window? mine always wants to just dock to the very top going all the way across?

[@SaintedWhisper]

My question is i have a two PC setup. How can I import theses settings a little easier?

[@gamerscircle]

Thank you for the video, I didn't think about it, but if the sounds are hosted on SL, then I need to download them and then reupload to SE.

[@calicozachgaming1863]

Its been such a wild ride.

[@Jon-ih7ly]

In need of some help, when transferring it over, when I go into StreamElements, and edit the overlay, my background is just of a small box, and when testing the alerts, the gif image is also super small in the preview window, any way I can fix this?

[@mitchted]

cheers mate good and easy video to follow

[@Muubody]

my goat. Thank you.

[@branuka6469]

hey i tried switching my alerts over and it says "error occured" when i try to import from streamlabs. Any tips?

[@jiminsbulge9448]

me too did you figure it out?

[@timoclemens5379]

How about the microphone settings like Noise Gate, Compressor and stuff like that? Do I need to change them from scratch?

[@valeriee1989]

I'm thankful for this video, but unfortunately for some reason my computer can't find the scene from SLOBS to import :( Maybe cause I am on a mac?

[@JonVon_]

does streamelement also have an event list widget like streamlabs does ?

[@TijuanaJackson]

Very helpful

[@Felgand]

Do i have to install OBS Live to use my Streamdeck with Streamelements?

[@Skeedos]

the importers option in the settings isnt there for me. what should i do?

[@dracus1903]

Is there a way to open chat while in game?

[@LeighaB]

I followed the excat steps but in the edit side on stream elements. it's not showing

[@sonic-bb]

what about the plug ins. able to get those over to obs? like things from the stream labs app store

[@Ruto684]

good stuff. I had a question is there a way to hide alerts and other scene that you don't want to pop up in the recording? Streamlabs had an option where you can make it visible to stream only or on the recording as well?

[@NEPHILIM-WARRIOR]

Any chatbot with minigames you can add for twitch? Also, is there a way to move multiple theme overlays from slobs to SE. Like I have a couple of themes for chatboxes, alerts, goals etc.

[@vitathevoiceactress510]

can you to an updated one. my streamlabs looks different.

[@mtlcub]

Great video :) Simple and easy step by step! Did all the transition a few days ago and I'm super glad!!!! So far, the only missing part is... I was using the Streamlabs Chat client... for audio / sound command.... And now, I didn't find any other easy way to have that.... (aside the sound alert panel with bits or channel points.).

[@HoveKB]

Nice work!

[@BatBoy1]

Bless u brother 😍😍

[@newlifeninja]

Excellent video thanks. I don't use either system other than OBS but it's helpful to see what is possible - is there a video for all the funky stuff OBS can do?

[@dialectiks]

do you think this was a lethal hit against streamlabs, or will it just continue existing like until now?

[@Lima_Beanss8]

this helped alot thank you

[@countryman5182]

So i had switch back and forth when i started streaming. The issue i have is it doesnt seem to bring my followers. Am i doing something wrong?

[@hypedforgames]

Thank you for this video! One question though, is there a plugin for obs to do selective sources recording like streamlabs? I think it didn't have the option back when i chose to use slobs

[@5Sweet_4Delicious]

Can you please tell me what that game you have on here. Thank you. Love your streams

[@DimmanKo]

Hi do you know while i streaming with obs or streamlabs after 2 hours streaming my game and mikrophone automatically get mute and people on chat cant hear anything

[@lenneke_]

Thanks for doing this, now somebody finally helped me switching, cause switching felt like lots of work for me, but it isn't that complicated. One question: my stream deck doesn't seem to interact with OBS, do I need to reinstall everything in the stream deck or can I just adjust something to make it work?

[@LurethVT]

If you used streamdeck to interact with streamlabs. In options you just have to choose normal OBS instead of streamlabs. As far as I know you have to re-do all from beginning. I might be wrong tho.

[@ElQana9]

Thank you 🙏

[@DarkRa]

Only problem is OBS Studio I had alot of issues with Recording. Well recording with Razer Caputer card and Streamelement So limited for the bot for KZbin.

[@Go3Gaming]

Does obs have selective recording?

[@JustMattPlays]

Thank you so much!!!

[@mercedesjuneetxjune2882]

thanks a lot great tutorial

[@LostockGamerPlays]

I'm looking to move from SLOBS to OBS Studio however this doesn't seem to work now SLOBS has updated to 1.11.2 Do you know of a way to do this now?

[@kathryndaher253]

Does anyone know if this video transfers over to streaming off of the playstation? Like is this software able to be used when I'm streaming off the playstation or is it only for PC?

[@feddonovan4861]

im getting an error log in ...it said brand restristed but its not and im stock there...

[@themightyatlas8594]

I tried Stream Elements a few days ago but the available cloud space is not even enough to hold One scene collection. Meanwhile StreamLabs has unlimited storage. I'm not happy because I wanted to make the switch. Maybe I'm doing something wrong?

[@brotherwalfrid4893]

im having a problem with the alerts, ive done everything youve said, but whenever i get follows or anything it doesnt show up, however when i test the alerts they work. can anyone help?

[@WanchanPlay]

This video is so usefull! Many thanks man. Howerver there is just one reason why I moved from OBS to SLOBS a few years ago: selective recording / streaming functionality. It means. SLOBS allows you to select if you want to record, stream or both each source of every scene. Any way to do it on OBS today?

[@JaneDoeowo]

It's under advanced settings

[@WanchanPlay]

@@JaneDoeowo i have never seen it. 🤔

[@jr01theweeb]

Wait, we can actually customize alerts? Where was this before, that's so much better than streamlabs!

[@Boorosan]

Please PLEASE make a video on how to stream ipad screen on OBS

[@eademsedaliter]

OBS + Streamelements is the way. Do it, do it if you are reading this!

[@muratkaraaslan7432]

What about Mic settings like Filters? Do I have to reconfigure them?

[@ChrisLeeX]

Yes. But now you'll have access to the full range of filters instead of the poorly implemented streamlabs ones.

[@NKTRR]

This is old but can you uninstall streamlabs after the transfer

[@ALIENiAM]

Thank you for the Video. One Question though. I used OBS Studio with the Streamlabs Widgets and depending on the Scene, StartStream, EndStream or when i was gaming, the alerts were all on different positions on the Screen. I sometimes had 6 or 7 Obs-browser Sources running at the same time. But they were not using any GPU while inactive, just RAM. Now with Streamelements, i can position all the different alerts where i want them to appear and use that one Browser Link, but when i switch to another Scene, the positioning of the Alerts of course cant be set individually in OBS at all. . Do i really need to make 3 or 4 different Layouts in Streamelements and put 3 or 4 different OBS Browser Sources into OBS for each scene ? though the only thing that actually changed is the positioning of the alerts, but its the same Videos and Sounds ? . I already found out that you can duplicate Layers into other Scenes, but i could not find something like USE THE SAME LAYOUT just different positioning only. . And this brings me to another important question. 5-7% GPU Usage for that ONE OBS Browser Source when its active from Streamlabs. I thought no way, all i am animating is a 4 Picture Slideshow and two lines of Labels that is pure text. So i deactivated the scrolling of the text, and the GPU Usage went down to 1% :D I have a 6700xt AMD Gpu. . So yeah, maybe you have a better solution for me how to manage 4 different Scenes, with the same alerts where all that changes is the position of the alerts. With Streamlabs there was also the possibility to use one nested Scene with all the different alerts in there...i dont think there is way to make that work with streamelements. . Thank you in Advance for the time to read everything and your answer. As usual, awesome Video, awesome Quality ! :) You helped me a lot so many times with your Videos ! Keep it up !

[@CyBeRiun]

You can emulate the way StreamLabs works by creating a new Overlay with a custom size and making your alertbox (or whatever widget) fill that up completely, then positioning that entire overlay as you did with the StreamLabs browser sources in OBS before.

[@wellthatsuckslol8207]

THANK YOU

[@AxelStrandberg]

yes! finally thank you so much!!`

[@Liquidsunn87]

So why is people moving off of streamlabs? Did they kill someone or something?

[@MoreKingrulz]

thanks sooooooo much
