Go back to Streamlabs and the Alert Box settings.īoth StreamElements and Streamlabs allow users to upload custom alerts, so you can design everything the way you like.

Adjust the width and height and click “OK.”.

Give the new source a name and paste the Alert Box URL into the appropriate textbox.

Go to “Sources” and click on “Add New.”.

Copy the Alert Box URL and open OBS Studio.

Edit your Alert Box settings if needed.

Open Streamlabs and click on “Alert Box” from the dashboard.

If you prefer using Streamlabs, follow these steps.

You’ve done everything correctly if they appear on StreamElements and OBS Studio.

Select the “Emulate” button and test your alerts.

Click on it, and you’ll open the StreamElements editor.

Repeat Step 2 but go to “My Overlays” and click on the new overlay to test.

I was getting ready to try creating a new alert profile within Streamlabs and re-creating each alert when I saw something on the main page of the Streamlabs dashboard on the ‘Recent Events’ tab. Basically, a lot of wasted time reading up on issues that had nothing to do with what I was experiencing. I spent time googling/duckduckgoing “Streamlabs audio issues” and went down a rabbit hole of checking computer audio output settings, OBS audio settings, and what to do if you were using virtual audio cables. So I tried sending some test notifications to the stream and OBS, but now there was no audio… What waHappy audios going on?

So when I did login to Streamlabs and went to each of my alerts and tested the audio file associated with each of them, there was no issue. My alerts had been set up and working fine for years and I only used the audio alert as a way to notify me to check the activity feed in my Twitch dashboard. So, when this exact problem happened to me, I felt rather sheepish and went straight to researching how to correct the issue. When those alerts fail and I don’t know to check the Twitch activity alerts panel, I feel bad for not taking the time to thank those individuals. As a streamer who uses a 1 monitor set up, I heavily rely on audio alerts from Streamlabs to inform me of new follower and host events while I’m live on.
