Stream elements and the loss of the ability to use OBS without connecting to Streaming channel.

[HissyFits]

I just signed up for Stream Elements service for a chat box overlay and now I can not use OBS with out connecting to a Stream channel (YouTube). Is their away to turn the stream elements off so I and use OBS for non stream projects. Or really for anything at all. I am stuck at this screen.

I've generally been apprehensive about "turn-key streaming solutions". Seems to me like they make you look flashy...and shallow...and not all that attractive for me to watch.

My advice would be to not use any of it, and learn to build everything you do from scratch. It'll take you longer to get to the same "level", but you'll grow a lot in the process and that really shows!

Not really trying to look flashy, but I do get you point. SE is unusable any ways, it turned out it was adding noise to the feed and just cause other issues with youtube. Just going with straight OBS at least for now.
