Browser Source (Streamelements) resolution not scaling correctly

This is an issue I have had for over a year now. Google searches with keywords such as Streamelements + Browser Source + Scaling (or resolution) don't bring up anything related.

My Scenes created in Streamelements are set at a 720 resolution (720x1280 for all references to 720 in this post). My OBS canvas is also set at 720 (not downscaling). The browser properties in OBS are set at a 720 resolution. However, once the overlay is added in OBS, the scaling of the content inside the browser is not correct.

Here is an example. I created a new Scene in Streamelements with a 720 canvas. I added an image (a solid green box) which was also 720. I made sure the image was fully scaled and positioned to match the size of the canvas (ie, it does not extend past the border of the canvas). I added a new 720 browser source to OBS and the contents don't match.

I am currently using OBS Studio 30.2.3 (64 bit).

Of note: the actions inside the browser source function (alerts and so forth).

I'm having the exact same problem right now. Did you manage to solve it somehow?
I did find a solution.

Keep in mind that this issue is for OBS using StreamElements browser overlays, NOT the StreamElements version of OBS.


I use a custom dock that is a capture of the StreamElements activity feed. This would be native to the StreamElements OBS but since it is so bloated I chose to use plain OBS and a capture of the activity feed from the StreamElements site.

However, I had reduced the font in that dock (making the fonts smaller). As soon as I reset the font to 100% my overlays using StreamElements URLs scaled properly.

It took me a LONG time to figure this out.
