Hughwizzy! Fancy seeing you around here sir! It's not like I watch you every week or anything 😜 Clive, you've smashed it here mate. I'll be plagiarising your methods for my F1 watch along tomorrow. Thank you sir. 👍🏾🙏🏾👌🏾
I've done an new video for this as now UPDATED and IMPROVED - and integration into OBS/Streamlabs etc even better! th-cam.com/video/xEn5k1I4Ijs/w-d-xo.html - and for FACEBOOK and TWITCH there is this method th-cam.com/video/j5zWfseHZkk/w-d-xo.html
The absolute most awesome advice! i am a daily livestreamer and i am soo super excited to present this feature to my audience! Thanks so much for the providing me the option to not only better connect with my viewers but you have also presented me the opportunity to upgrade my viewer engagement and viewer experience! Super gratreful! Thanks again!! i subscribed and look forward to more content!
Glad it helped. Now you get the cool functionality of highlighting live chat comments - but freedom to use in OBS. I was looking for a solution as simple as this for ages!
Very helpful and easy. It’s basically working like an imported overlay. Always wondered how this can be done in obs. Nice clean and easy. Will try for my next stream.
Brilliant mate! Thanks so much for the tutorial. I'm just getting into live streaming and this was perfect. You show every single step in getting this setup. Thank you very much!!
thanks for this. new to obs and I had been using twidget. it works but after an hour or so into the stream it acts up. it starts grabbing the wrong chat. been looking for an alternative.
Good up until the chat pops up in the extension window. Yours is black background, mine is white. When I add the color filter and match the white in makes the type transparent and it looks pretty bad. I do not know how to change the background to black like yours is. Or, I cannot make it transparent like yours is with the color filter because it forces the white type to become clear.
You should be able to make changes to background and font colour etc in the Chrome app extension (options) . I have background colour set to transparent.
In not sure what everyone else is seeing that I'm not seeing. After creating the window, the tutorial seems to skip a very important step. Am I missing something? I have the chrome plug-in ready to go but there's no option to import anything and when I follow your directions all I get is a blank window with no option to capture my open chat window. What did I miss?
Dude!! Clive that was amazing!! I am new to TH-cam and stream so this was extremely helpful and definitely not as complicated as the Rokka with stream yard.
I think we must have been in same boat. I much prefer working in OBS so when I came across this - it as exactly what I wanted.... PLUS, I noticed MM2K using last night - and if someone uses SuperChat it has quite a cool graphic attached to the user name...
thanks for making the chrome extension - it's awesome. People are loving it - and it was something I was looking for, for ages. Let me know of any updates.
Hey, Clive! You're an absolute lifesaver - I've followed your instructions and it worked! Just wondering how we can change colour and font? Tried to find instructions from the dev but couldn't find it. Thanks a bunch!
Subbed and liked thank you so much. I tried Rokks and have never been able to get it to work and I he did try to help me but it won't work. So I have carried on paying for and using streamyard at only 720p which I hate but 1080p is ridiculously expensive. If this works and I can finally get pop up chat in my livestreams using OBS this will be unbelievable. I will still have to use stream yard for streams with guests in because the audio problems I have had trying to do a stream with a guest or multiple guests on OBS has been beyond my brain to figure out. I have watched videos with virtual audio cables to make the sound work but man it is like ridiculously difficult! But when I am just doing a regular watchalong (mine is a football channel in the UK so all we can do during lockdown is watchalongs and guest interviews etc can't do match day vlogs hopefully soon) if I can pop up chat in OBS then holy macaroni this is a LIFE CHANGER!
For guests... Check out OBS.ninja , Rokk and I used it on a show we used to do called Gen X Gaming Club. It basically takes a person's live camera feed, and then you can shove it anywhere in your scene.
@@CliveIllenden I managed to get the video in from phones on zoom but it's the audio that has me defeated me thus far to the point I've contemplated throwing the laptop out of the window. I haven't managed to get this to work so far as I keep getting the monkey icon which says oops something went wrong when I try to bring the live chat pop out link into a Dock?
@@LeeCharlesTV don't bring it into dock. Have pop out separate Window capture. I always have issues with source browser (if it is a source you have to sign in to)
Yes, same thing happens to me and it's driving me crazy. I think alt+clicking the message might work as a workaround, paying attenton not to click any of the icons that appear when alt+clicking, but I haven't really tried it while I'm live.
Thanks Clive, great solution. Is there any way to get it to automatically show the last comment on the screen for a few seconds then move on to the next one?
On OBS Studio the chat window already loads because I've logged into my TH-cam account. But it doesn't appear overlayed on my stream. I have it as a browser source. Is there something I'm missing?
Thank you for sharing this. I have just started a regular weekly livestream and wanted comments to pop up when answering questions from my viewers but didn’t know how to do this in OBS. Thanks to your video I do now. What is the best way to create intro and outro scenes for OBS with livestreams? I would love to hear what you have to say. I would also like to create regular animations and pop ups for OBS (Subscribe animations, etc.) - any advice for this?
Glad it was useful. I use OBS for my streams - and Streamlabs for the alerts (subs, superchats etc) - super easy to do. Just visit Streamlabs and log on using your YT account. (no need to download or pay for anything).... I create my own intros and outros - again, just have a still image and a count down clock as an intro
Hey man! Love this tip. Question: is there a way to have it set up before going live? Because I’ve been trying and it seems I have to go through all the sizing and stuff each time I go live. Any advice on streamlining this process?
In OBS I create a separate scene just for Chat Highlight. Then use it as a "nested Scene" in my main scene - and set it up as required. Hope that makes sense. Then all I need to do is just update the URL each time...
@@CliveIllenden oh cool! Thanks for the quick reply by the way. So, you only crop the pop-up chat window once and have that saved as a scene that you re-use each time? For me, I cropped the chat window via the chrome extension app, and then saved it the way you did. But when I returned to it later on a new live stream, my saved chat “scene” was cropped awkwardly and I had to resize.
Make sure you watch the update video. The only steps you need to repeat each time is pop out the YT chat and grab the url for the browser source in your OBS
It should automatically adjust (sp long comments don't go off side of screen). Make sure you set the size of the OBS scene/source to the size of your output (i,e, 1920 x 1080)
Is there a way to make the popout chat dockable in OBS Very difficult to work with when I keep having to toggle back an forth from OBS to select a new Comment. The is no way to keep the chat on top either.
Hello thanks for your help, great video, it help me a lot!! I need to do something realy special for a live stream and I want to know if you can help me where can I send you what I need?
Nice stuff! Thnx! But I've found that it is better to add a BROWSER in OBS, rather than window capture. From the pop out chat window just copy the overlay URL, and add to OBS, no need to crop the window, add the black filter colour etc. It displays the highlighted message only. The only down side is, that the chat URL changes :( , so just need to remember to c&p it into OBS everytime.
Glad you liked. It's exactly what I've been wanting for ages. Unfortunately it only works with YT chat at moment. We'll have to see if they develop it for now streaming platforms
@@CliveIllenden I looked up and I found to this extension's source code on github: github.com/aaronpk/live-chat-overlay . I hope some fellow could have an inspiration and build one for facebook :D.

Now even better ... the Developer has now added further options so you can change colour, font, font size and loads more.
adding to obs mine gets all black ...did i miss something?

Not sure if asked, but, when finished with streaming, does it save the settings in OBS for your next stream or do you have to set it up new each time?
It's new a URL each time
That certainly earned a like, and subscribe! Thank you!

Anyone having issues with this plugin? It used to work great, but now when I try to highlight a comment, it seems to think I right clicked.
Yes, same thing happens to me and it's driving me crazy. I think alt+clicking the message might work as a workaround, paying attenton not to click any of the icons that appear when alt+clicking, but I haven't really tried it while I'm live.
Yeah, it's giving me right click options instead of selecting the user comment. I'm on Mac OS Sonoma, Chome version 123.0.6312.107.
awesome! boom1
Does it work on streamlabs or just OBS? Thanks!
If you can add a browser to Streamlabs it should work the same
THANK YOU
This is so great! Now, can anyone do something similar with Facebook comments?
Let's hope so - as this works so well for TH-cam Chat
How to fix this sir?
" Sorry, live chat is currently unavailable." I am already doing it on live
Maybe a setting in your TH-cam settings
The color key will make any black in the chat user's avatar also show up as transparent, won't it?
I've done an updated version... as the app was updated with more options, so I'm not sure that's an issue now
thank you much, i saw you had "canon HDMI" what does that mean> did u use canon camera with HDMI cable as a "webcam" > do u hv tutorial about this?
I do use a Canon M50 connected with a HDMI via a capture card (Elgato)
Thanks Clive, great solution. Is there any way to get it to automatically show the last comment on the screen for a few seconds then move on to the next one?
Not at moment - it has to be done manually.... I'll feed back to developer

does this work with twitch and facebook as well or is this strictly for youtube?

Yes, it should do as you are just taking the URL of the chat *(after you've popped it out) and adding to a scene using the browser option
@@CliveIllenden Clive you are bloody brilliant. Have a great day 🤝
When I click comment it’s clicking the 3 dots and bringing up the options for the comment. Any fix?
