YES! I had to do a bit of research on this one. Go to the login Details tab -> Click on allow Multiple platforms -> Select second platform you want to use -> Click on add this platform -> Back to first platform -> Check if add this platform is still ticked here as well.

[@kiwibinuffin]

thanks for your video one question tho ive done all that it shows my avatar on obs but it is not moving around like it is in the app its jsut frozen any ideas why?

[@trui]

I have never head this, try not to minimize the tab. Instead just open something over it. Maybe that's the issue.

[@rusticmoon]

Do you have a video up where I can add a moveable avatar like vtube and how to upload and use it on obs as well?

[@trui]

I am not sure what you mean, but if you are just talking about how to use a vtuber, then I don't have any videos on that yet.

[@rusticmoon]

@@trui yea thats what im.talkomg about. I'm struggling to find a video on step by step how to actually get it from website to game.

[@bathyfisher]

thank you for this tutorial!! however I need help figuring out how to set my stream avatars to have me be a different avatar to my viewer's avatars! Thank you in advance!!

[@trui]

You can set whatever avatar everyone can use and then you can use the change avatar command yourself 😉

[@bathyfisher]

@@trui thank you!! I think i figured it out!!

[@ZombieZED88]

Thanks for the tutorial! I love Stream Avatars but always only get 1 of the avatars showing up, so everyone is the same one, even tho all are supposedly enabled. Do you know of any way to fix this, so multiple avatars show up? Thanks.

[@trui]

You could make it that the spawn default has multiple avatars and then make them get them at random :)

[@lukewolfgames]

Is there a way to set up Stream Avatars using Stream Deck in anyway? I'm trying to organise the change of backgrounds for mine

[@trui]

I don't think so. You could suggest it to the devs: discord.gg/77sp6GG

[@lukewolfgames]

@@trui This has been suggested to the devs and members are saying it's in the pipeline but I don't really know any other details about it yet. Thanks anyway!

quick question can you make a video on how to add your streamlabs chatbot (not cloudbot) currency to work with stream avatars that way i dont have to different currencys if this is even possible and thank you a head of time

[@trui]

I am actually not sure! I would recommend asking the dev in Discord: discord.gg/77sp6GG

[@nightdrifty3584]

is there a way to make the avatar's name different for others? Like to make Moderators and admins standout?

[@trui]

In color and stuff? Yes! You can set the shop setting for a nametag to be broadcaster only

[@nightdrifty3584]

@@trui Thank You! Also i did your name tag tutorial, but is there a way to make a person's specific name that color? Like on of my mods is name Cookie Man, is there a way to make his name blue?

[@DoctorVirtual]

Hello Trui, thank you for the video. After I click on "connnect" and I see the avatars, is it normal to just see 1 character for 8 of the avatars? Or will that change when I actually stream and it will show more?

[@trui]

You can set the spawn defaults on random and different versions can spawn in

[@DoctorVirtual]

@@trui ahhhh ok, thank you very much. I will try and find the spawn default part and do that. Thank you.

You can add multiple platforms :)

[@junglethemednightclub831]

How would you stream your video game, and also the steam avatars?? I'm having a hard time finding anything online, I must be dumb lmao~

[@trui]

You just keep the Avatar open without minimizing, make sure that you run it like in the vid. Then just open the game and make sure you run it in a different game capture (with a new name)

[@PKJordn]

Great vid! Question though. Why does everyone spawn in with the same avatar and how can I fix it?

[@trui]

You can set the default avatar to be multiple and pick randomly from them

[@PKJordn]

@@trui which settings is that under? I can't find it :(

[@coolusernameftw7055]

Really great video 👍. The only thing is that I was having a bit of trouble with your accent at parts, but that's more my issue lol Thanks for the all the good info though 😊🤙

[@trui]

I sadly can't change my accent as I am dyslexic and have had so much trouble learning English to begin with. I have done summer school and Saturday lessons for it. It's been 15 years since I started and I speak it every day but I can't seem to get rid of my accent 🤷‍♀️

[@coolusernameftw7055]

@@trui no, I can only imagine how tough it would be to change something like that, but I honestly wouldn't want you to. I actually think your accent is very attractive 😅 I was just thinking that having some subtitles or something to follow along with could help maybe? I'm sorry if I offended 🙏✌️

[@AmigoGabe]

Once I tried streaming with this in twitch studio my webcam kept crashing and I got a lot of slow frames. Idk what I did wrong

[@trui]

Twitch Studio sounds to be like the problem 😜 OBS Studio is definitely recommended 🙌

[@JayMarksDaSpot]

Hi i have set up Stream Avatars i downloaded the pokemon avatars.. when i press connect. all avatars are showing one avatar only (in my case its abra) i cant find an option to randomize the avatars hmm. Have you experience this?

[@trui]

It's the spawning defaults that you can change to randomly select more avatars. However that won't effect the spawned onces. Viewers can change them though.

[@thealleycat]

Well I wasn’t expecting this so soon. I’m a month late to the party but at least I’m here. lol.

[@trui]

It's here! Lol :)

[@Voiceabuse]

My obs can’t detect on the widows sense I’m also using a Mac book

OBS is built for Windows, so it could be that not all features working as intended

[@doug_b330]

What about having only a single avatar? I downloaded the pokemon pack, and I want a single pokemon for my chat. How would i set that up?

[@trui]

Go to the shop and make sure that you make all the other avatars "broadcaster only" then set your own avatar to the one you want !avatar [pokemon name] and they will only have that pokemon spawning.

kind of wish you didn't have your face thumbnail over the screens when you were showing the options etc of what to pick. the cutscene away is fine but it's distracting to have something covering over the program's commands AS you're talking about them.

[@trui]

Thanks for the feedback, sometimes it can be though deciding where I should place the cam.

[@ellabbs]

you should really explain to us non gaming streamers that we need to have a steam account, and install steam. i was like whats all this when i purchased the stream avatars. and struggled to get my head round it all.... so GET STEAM, INSTALL IT... BUY AVATAR software. then come back here for the instructions.

[@trui]

I totally haven't thought of that. I assumed that people knowing Stream Avatars also knew about Steam, but that might have been a misassumption. Thanks for sharing it so it might help others with the same issue!
