      @@MarrisaPlays very true! Growth strategies and knowing what to prioritize for getting from 0 to 10 average viewers is quite different from 10 to 100 average or from 100 to 500. Contextualizing the advice is so important.

    FYI - for youtube streamers, the subscriber notifications are broken and you can’t do custom alerts for different member tiers. Maybe you can use your relationship with them to get some attention to this? It’s been broken for over a month and I’m now switching back to stream labs as a result.

    Alternatively instead of putting everything in to a single overlay, put them in to separate overlays with canvas sizes only big enough to fit the element.
    Then you can move the browser sources around in OBS and apply filters to them individually (e.g. 3D transform and Move Value/Source filters for animations)

    As always thank you so very much Harris you just helped with getting my Alerts working in StreamElements as I have just switched from Streamlabs so StreamElements is a little different. But I am getting there creating my own template.
    In case anyone is wondering?
    The issue I had my Alerts where not being shown in OBS Studio when I clicked the Emulate button in my StreamElements account in my browser.
    Turns out the issue was caused by me as I had the canvas of the browser source set to default which was 800 x 600. But after changing this to 1920 x 1080 everything worked and I could see the alerts in OBS Studio.
    So thanks again as your a real legend :).

    You need a widget that you can add to stream elements for Streambeats. Or a widget that you can load into OBS directly.

    I completely transformed my stream, going from Twitch Studio (whack) to OBS and using StreamLabs. Your videos have been super helpful
