Streamlabs OBS Not Updating Labels – What to Do?
If you are experiencing issues with the old version of Streamlabs OBS not updating labels, there is no need to worry.
This is a common issue, and here are the solutions. Try one of them (or all), and the problem should be resolved.
1. Failure to Update Labels
If you notice that the labels aren’t updating, here’s what you need to do:
Once this is completed, the labels will update every minute.
If they are not, log out of your Streamlabs account, close the program, and launch OBS again.
Enter the log-in information and add the labels once more.
2. Desktop Application for Labels
First, find the folder containing the text files you use in your Streamlabs OBS settings.
You will need to delete that folder, as well as the folder named: %appdata%Roamingstreamlabels.
Now, visit the Streamlabs website to locate the latest version of labels.
Reinstall this app and open it to log in and choose the directory of files.
When adding text sources again, ensure that you are using the correct output directory—it should match the one you have selected in the application.
The SLOBS will enable you to modify the output data as needed.
This new text file should receive an update every minute.
If you edit them manually, the software will override those changes.
Memorize the changes and wait another minute for the label to update the OBS settings.
3. Anti-virus
Other applications on your computer, such as antivirus software, can interfere with the performance of SLOBS.
If the solutions mentioned above do not work, check whether SLOBS is added as an exception in your anti-virus software.
If not, try this and see if the problem is resolved.
Frequently Asked Questions
