Help with YT chatwindow in full screen game?

[HoLeeKow]

Hello people,

I am using OBS studio for streaming and figured out how to get the chatwindow from youtube in the stream BUT......

How can I get the chat also visible ingame? Is it possible to keep the chatwindow "on top"of the full screen game so I can play and see the chat also, not needing to switch from game to browser etc.

I hope you understand what i try explain and i hope someone can help me with this.

Thank you already a lot in advance

This I know yes , but I play on my tv from my sofa so 2nd monitor is not an option and I don't want to use phone because watching stream from phone on wifi will cause lag.

I just want the chat window from YouTube stream dashboard shown in the game ( make transparent and always on top because otherwise it will always put the full screen game on top )

Anybody else have a suggestion?

Ahahahaha... Yeah, I'd seen you in the stream asking about it and thinking on it later went, "He probably is going to need more help" :^P

I use two monitors, and that's how I have my chat visible for users who watch the stream, AND visible for myself. I move the chat to another window, while having OBS pick it up.

I'll put something together on how to do it(Edit:In the next few days). Though if you only have one monitor you'd need to tab out every now and again to see the chat. But your viewers would see it overlayed

i repeat a tool that show you the chat(or aiming tools, etc.) on top of your game will be detect as cheat ... if you found 1 dont use it!

I tried one auto hotkey but I don't like it ,
I'll just watch the chat on my phone browser for now.

Thank you

It was fun to watch you play , wish I could have that many people watching my stream

Looking forward to see your help in the coming days , thank you already in advance !

Just as a "in between " message to Taggme.

I managed to use a second monitor and look the chat there but now when I play back the stream I hear a buzzing sound in the stream that I didn't hear before when the 2nd monitor wasn't connected.
I only hear it when I play it back in YouTube , not when I'm streaming.
Do you know what it can be ?

And also I'm still interested in your setup , maybe I forget or did something wrong in pc or obs settings.

Yeah sorry, I'll get it uploaded tomorrow/later-today! had been ill the last few days and just getting back into things again.

As for the buzzing, do you have your microphone set to push-to-talk, or have a webcam with a built in mic or something like that?

And if I understand correctly, the buzzing sound is not audible to you when streaming. But anybody that watches your stream would hear it?

Here's the one if you choose to use Restream chat (You do not need to be streaming to restream for chat to function)

And here's one for Browser Capture which would use the pop-out chat of Twitch/Youtube or whatever.

So basically, first one uses a third party program but I've been using it for ages with no issues. Second one is just the default browser. If you knew a bit of coding or find some other person's video, you could find coding to put into it to remove the white background I assume though I could be wrong.

A few merged screenshots of my OBS settings. (edit: Meant as a basic guideline and not 'copy this exactly' because your computer and internet speeds will be different than mine.)

Probably not applicable in this case, but : How I have my sound mixers currently setup.

Track 1 is what gets streamed, I can turn on or off Teamspeak/Discord being picked up by checking '1' on for Mic/Aux 2.

Otherwise for recording purposes: my recordings send the computers 'default audio device' for game/desktop audio to track 2. My own microphone to track 4, and VOIP to track 3.

Though my setup does require rendering for any videos I want to upload which takes time but has been my preference recently since I enjoy voice chats but wouldn't want them to be forced on what I'm uploading (Seperate track means I can choose to edit out parts.)

Thank You a lot , I will look at this tomorrow since I'm in night shift again but I appreciate your help a lot

The video is working ok for me , playing on my 4K UHD and stream also 720p to YouTube.
The sound I will check when I'm home again.

The buzzing was only in playback , not while streaming I believe but today when I listen again I didn't hear it anymore. I will keep an eye on that.

About the talking , for me personally I don't mind that the people hear me talking on teamspeak also. It will make the people maybe enjoy more since they hear it's a enjoyable environment :)

I do have to look about setting what makes it different if I use standard or that Realtek sound.

I will read all your information and see what it can help me and I'm always open for more tips and help. Thank you already again !!

Do you get a lot of viewers with twitch also or more from YouTube ? Maybe I should use 2 also.

When I use restream for twitch and YT together , I don't need to have both programs/dashboards open ? Only restream is enough ?
That would be nice when I couple the two chats in one and not need to have both dashboards open :)

I found a website for that , I will post the link , it is a pretty easy thing that lets you adjust what you like and at the bottom of the page you get the code to copy and put in obs.

Depends on the particular day and what I am streaming. Some times twitch is the more popular one, while other times youtube is. Varies too much to say one or the other sort of thing.

Dashboard: You would want probably want to open the YT/Twitch dashboard pages to change the titles and games listed on both. But outside of that name/game-change, you do not need to have the pages open for either Twitch/Youtube.
And restream can change your titles through their page for multiple broadcasting sites, but I haven't tried it out too much as I just open two tabs (YT & Twitch) and close them after the change is made.

As for buzzing in playback, perhaps your headphones are turned up too much? One can hope it is just a simple fix as that. Since mine have a fuzz or buzz sort of noise when turned up too loudly with the built in volume slider.

this is the link for webbrowser CSS code generator

it worked for me .
now using restream after you adviced and works good, dont need link anymore , but for single streamers, this is a good one for generate css code :)

The thought hits me during all the troubleshooting we just did today. Should have tried getting twitch to work on its own before testing restream. :^P but oh well!

Edit: you might also consider going back to whatever setting you had been using before for resolution compression.

The screenshots I'd made were more as basic guidelines and not a "Copy these exactly". Because I for example run my game with 1600x900 since that's my monitors resolution and don't have the bandwidth to stream that per-say, and so compress mine down to 1280x720

Whereas you play in 3k-ish x 2k-ish

Good evening ShootMe,

Lol, it gave me a severe headache that still isn't gone but I won't give up , tomorrow I start over and not hurry to complete.
If that doesn't work then I will go back to youtube only but I won't drop out after 1 bad day :))

I'm looking more videos in my night shift and hopefully tomorrow with your information from today and some help maybe from the restream live chat , we can make it work :))

Enjoy gaming today
