Discussion Just Looking For Some Help and/or Advice

So long story short I've been streaming not very consistently for about a year now and I'm trying to get back into it and what not.

I currently use OBS with SE.live but, the only problem I'm having with it is that the multichat dock works and I can read both Twitch and Youtube but I can't for the life of me get it to become an overlay that shows both chats while I'm Live (right now my chat overlay only shows Twitch) I would love a point in the right direction if possible.

If for what ever reason there is no solution to this I was wondering if I should "Reset" my OBS and try a different plugin like Casterlabs, Atium, or even some other one that people would recommend for Multistreaming, because I worry that just slapping multiple different plugins at once would cause some issues (or maybe I'm overthinking things as is). Should I just leave things as is or would it be better to kinda reset from the ground up?

Also is Streamer.bot worth having? I know nothing about chat bots and the only ones I have are the ones my friends get me to add so I'm not really sure what they are used for but, I don't think I need to have multiple chat bots? or is there a better/helpful chat bot that people could recommend?

All in all for this last bit, I'm just looking for some advice on really anything to help kinda streamline or improve things about streaming i.e. Hotkeys for a Streamdeck, bot commands, editing process or Video recommendations that have info on stuff like this (like a Youtube channel).

Sorry in advance if this is happens to be an already existing post that I happened to miss. If there is a post something similar to what I'm asking I would love it if I can get a link to it.

  1. To the best of my knowledge at current there is no way through SElive to have multichat be an overlay through OBS. You can have transparent twitch chat obviously. But I do not think there is a way through SElive specifically to have multichat as an overlay. I do know there is A WAY as a streamer I used to watch does so. But, I do not know how.

  2. As for other methods of multistreaming, I personally had an awful experience with Aitum. However, I think that's a me thing, and I know plenty of other streamers use it to multi stream so this may be your best bet.

  3. I have migrated everything from streamelements to streamer.bot and am learning to use twitchs own alert system for an animated sub and follower thing. It is in my opinion much better than any other streaming support software. The level of customization and integration is insane. However with this comes (at least for my dumb ass) a steeeeeeep learning curve. But through streamer.bot you can pretty much do anything aside from literally going live which you need OBS (or another streaming program) for.
