To display the RU-vid live chat on your stream, you can use a browser source in OBS to show the chat window. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to enable RU-vid chat on your screen during a live stream:
Method 1: Using RU-vid URL
Obtain RU-vid Live Chat URL:
Go to your RU-vid live stream's video page.
Click on the three dots (more options) on the chat section.
Select "Popout Chat." This will open a new window/tab with just the chat.
Copy Chat URL:
Copy the URL of the popped-out chat window from the address bar.
In OBS:
Open OBS and go to the scene where you want to display the chat overlay.
Click on the "+" icon under "Sources."
Select "Browser":
Choose "Browser" from the sources list.
Configure Browser Source:
Name the source (e.g., "RU-vid Chat Overlay").
Paste the RU-vid chat URL you copied earlier into the "URL" field.
Adjust width, height, and other settings to fit your stream layout.
Click "OK" to confirm.
Position and Resize:
Drag the corners of the browser source in the preview to resize and position it where you want the chat to appear on your stream.
Test:
Start your stream or use the "Studio Mode" in OBS to check how the RU-vid chat appears on your stream before going live.
Method 2: Using Embeddable Chat URL (Alternative Method)
Get Embeddable Chat URL:
Go to RU-vid Studio and select the live stream you want to get the chat for.
Click on the "View on RU-vid" option to open the live stream in a browser.
Access Stream Chat Settings:
On the RU-vid live stream page, click on the three dots (more options) on the chat section.
Select "Embed."
Copy Embed Chat URL:
Copy the URL provided in the embed settings.
Set Up Browser Source in OBS:
Follow steps 3-7 from the method above using the copied embeddable chat URL in the Browser Source settings.
Tips:
Ensure that your RU-vid account has live chat enabled and that you're streaming live to utilize the chat overlay.
Adjust the chat overlay's position, size, and design within OBS to best fit your stream layout and preferences.
Test the setup before going live to ensure the chat displays correctly on your stream.
These methods allow you to display the RU-vid live chat on your stream, enabling you to engage with your audience more effectively during your live broadcasts.
