All my Alerts have stopped working
Hello My twitch user name is Koolkatcc! Im new to this discord, but I have been using Overlay Expert for my twitch for years. I now stream via OBS and use the browser source in Overlay Expert. My overlay seems to work no problem. In the past and earlier today (11/9/2025) my chat commands and alerts (Chat commands, Follow, Subs, Bits, ect) worked perfectly fine. Until i went to stream. They ALL seemed to stop working all together. I've disabled my nightbot to see if that was the issue. I've cleared cache for my broswer source... I've logged out of twitch and re-logged in (both on Overlay Expert and Twitch) I've done the !test twitchfollow and other commands.... nothing seems to be working. I do have custom chat commands for my friends that make funny alert sounds when they are typed. Example: !wizard - It used to play the Voldemort laugh sound. and it no longer does. This goes for all my chat commands. Any assistance or advice would be amazing. I love you Overlay Expert so much, and it's amazing and very simple to use for me. I always recommend new streamers to Overlay Expert if they are wanting an overlay with out having to use OBS. Thank you :3

does the alerts work in the builder at all?
Yes, they work when I am testing them on the stream preview
as soon as i type any chat command via OBS they do not work
can you post the link to your overlays builder
hoping you got it ❤️
i have it, just giving it a quick look over now
this will have to be looked at by @Marc when he has some free time as i dont see anything wrong with it and it works perfectly fine in the builder, just incase whats your name on twitch?

okay soon as marc has some free time he will look into this issue for you, if he has any questions for you he will respond in here.
okie dokie. Thank you.
@koolkatcc I think we've had a few users have their overlays just die with OBS for some reason. I think the clear cache in OBS does not work so the only thing that resolved it was reinstalling OBS unfortunately.
If you open your browser source URL in Chrome, do your chat commands work?
They unfortunately do not 🙁
Can you sign out of Overlay Expert and sign back in with Twitch?
Yes did that, nothing was fixed 🙁 Currently reinstalling OBS
Do you have a chat command that's that any viewer can activate?
Yes I do. All my chat commands. Anyone can activate typing in a specific word
OK I found one
@koolkatcc hmm your chat commands are working for me
I tried
!vael and !cracked and the sound played
(in Chrome)let me try again via obs
you were right uninstalling obs and reinstalling obs seemed to have fixed all commands
Yeah I think there’s a bug with OBS browser source clear cache. You may want to try asking about it in their forums.
@koolkatcc happy to hear that it’s working again and thanks for supporting us 💜
