Hi. I recently got OBS and I decided to try and set up a discord chat overlay using the browser source. Upon trying to add a browser source, the entered url does not load. I have tried different urls but the browser source plugin does not seem to be working. Is it something I am doing or is it the software? I would greatly appreciate any help.
 
I'm having the same problem. I recently installed windows 10 on an older machine so I can use it for live streaming my bird cam. I'm trying to add the weather as a browser source ( https://swo.yaranaika.xyz ). For some reason OBS browser source is not displaying the http.

Here is the fix. go into settings, advanced, scroll to bottom, then uncheck enable browser source hardware acceleration in sources.
 
Same problem sources are not visible but sounds are coming through.
- I unchecked Hardware acceleration
- I reinstalled OBS from scratch
nothing worked
please help
 
Someone find a solucition? I still have the same problem, no one browser link work in my streamlabsOBS or OBSstudio.
I can hear the sounds, but the messeges and giff do not appear in my screen
 
**UPDATE FOR A POSSIBLE SOLUTION**
I fixed this issue by deleting all my scenes and sources and did them from scratch. There must me a source error or interfering with SE browser sources.
Take a screen shot and delete all your sources and create them again this might solve it and it worked for me.
Good luck
 
I'm having this problem tried the fixes above and nothing. Super frustrating and I only want a Soundcloud playlist for my break and starting soon was working fine 2days ago

This works man, but why would they do that. i used older OBS and I updated now. Must be NVENC related. On my old OBS I could have that option ticked and worked fine.
 
My controller overlay, which is a web link, using browser source, shows in OBS, but not in my Madden 22 live gaming window, you name it, I've tried it, problem isn't unique to OBS, same for other deskstop streaming platforms
 
I finally found the solution. go to settings, click advanced on the sources section uncheck browser source hardware acceleration then restart obs
 
I found a solution for my case:
1. If you have latest OBS version installed,
2. If you unchecked Hardware acceleration and the browser still not showing up

Try installing these and perhaps like my case it would do the job for you:
• node-v16.14
• NET.Desktop.Runtime.6.0

(* I don't exactly know which one fixed it)
 
I noticed that on OBS 29, there's no Browser source on the list of sources that can be added. How do we use something like VDO Ninja without a Browser source option? Or is it time to switch to DroidCam?
 
A tip for those who are delegating different hardware, or maybe just something to try:

OBS and OBS Browser Page seem to need to run on the same GPU to let Hardware Acceleration work. I have heard that you can set GPU in NVIDIA control panel but I don't have NVIDIA, so another place to look is in windows settings. You may not be able to choose specific GPU but it should be possible to at least make them run on the same one.

[OBSInstallLocation]\bin\64bit\OBS64.exe - OBS
[OBSInstallLocation]\obs-plugins\64bit\obs-browser-page.exe - OBS Browser Page
I imagine just sub 32 for 64 if for some reason you're not using 64 bit.
