desktop VS niconico-twitch

When visiting streamlabs.com, I am almost always sent through the setup process despite the fact that I've been through it multiple times. I have the desktop app and have even streamed unlisted videos as tests (everything seems fine from the app) but when I go on the website it won't acknowledge my yt account. The same is also true for my other settings like tipping; my tip URL still links to the tip page, yet the website doesn't think I've started setting any of that up. Please help, thank you!

nono i meant when i test out the widgets on streamlabs.com or whatever it pops up like it should on OBS or streamlabs the app for that matter, but the alerts don't pop up exclusively when I stream

I use a special font I purchased which is Sidefont. As I wrote it, the base64 URL I got from fontsquirrel works perfectly with streamlabs.com and streamelements alerts boxes. How can I create a shorter URL like you mentioned?

So I've used Streamlabs for a while now and have always ran into random issues with this but it has never really bugged me like it has recently. Ever since a few months ago when I set up my sponsor banner widget, it works perfectly for a week or two and then I go to stream and it just shows a generic "streamlabs" logo and text where my sponsors should be rotating. Upon checking the streamlabs.com dashboard where my widget's info should be saved, it shows a blank page and none of my settings are there so I am forced to start from scratch and completely re-add all of my sponsor images and re-do all of the associated settings. This is very frustrating as I have to now check these settings before every stream to make sure my alerts and sponsor bar are working properly. Please look into this and if anyone can offer a solution or reason as to why my settings are constantly being reset to default, please let me know. It also resets my settings for my alerts randomly as well.

I'm not sure what you break by chat dock, but I can share my solution. I use StreamLabs to display chat and follow animations. They provide a URL that you add to a Browser source in OBS.

If you're looking to record a long segment, like a YouTube video length, get either OBS or Streamlabs OBS. These allow you to add webcam overlays, etc etc. and for the regular OBS I'd recommend looking up a tutorial on how to set up a basic scene to record your screen, but it's straight forward enough. Streamlabs OBS comes with more overlays for streaming, if you're into that, and OBS is a bit more basic, but can be customised using coding languages and plugins I believe.

That setup should work for any software that can read from the 4K60 Pro. (OBS Studio and Streamlabs Desktop are both known to work.)

Whenever I launch the widget url in streamlabs.com it works just fine in that window but it doesn't show up at all in my desktop SLOBS

Installation of this widget is relatively simple and is often a case of simply copying and pasting some code. Everything is detailed and documented on the Github repository. The widget is available for StreamElements and Streamlabs as a custom widget. Simply copy the appropriate code and replace the code in each of the appropriate fields.
