Question / Help Unable to get webcam/alerts to show in-game

[Abrockman]

I can get everything to work perfectly while in preview mode but once I go in-game I can no longer see webcam or any of the alerts. I've tried reordering my scenes from top to bottom and no luck at all. What could I be doing wrong? Here's a photo of what I have so far

They aren't supposed to show up in game.

Is it possible to do it? Kind of need to see chat at least...

If your game doesn't offer ingame chat for the streaming service you're using, you're basically going to need a second display and/or a second device (such as a phone or tablet) to monitor chat.

I'm using TwitchAlerts through OBS, all setup in those scenes CLR links, I can prove it works through preview, but not in-game. There has to be a way to do it. Not everybody streams with 2 monitors.

 

[Harold]

there isn't.

That's pretty crazy, so the ideal way to see your own webcam/alerts/chat setup through OBS is with a second monitor with the OBS screen? and first monitor displaying game only. If i'm understanding this right

 

[Harold]

OBS isn't intended to run an overlay on your game, just on the stream output.

Do appreciate the posts Harold, however, if anyone else has this same issue. The only way to use 1 monitor and also see notifications is to Resize your game window and then fit the chats/notifications windows somewhere around your game as you see fit, it's also possible to keep track through cell phone/tablet chat/email notifications. Seems to be the only options. I think it'd be really awesome to somehow include a full overlay in the future though.
