Streamlabs OBS Not Updating Labels – What to Do?
If you are having problems with the old version of Streamlabs OBS not updating labels, don’t worry.
This is a common problem, and here are the solutions. Try one of them (or all) and the problem should be fixed.
1. Not updating labels
If you notice that labels aren’t updating, here is what you need to do:
Once this is completed, the labels will be updated every minute.
In case they are not, log out of your Streamlabs account, close the program, and launch OBS one more time.
Put in the log-in information and add the labels one more time.
2. Desktop application for labels
Firstly, locate the folder with text files you use in Streamlabs OBS settings.
You will need to delete that folder, along with a folder whose name is: %appdata%\Roaming\streamlabels.
Now, go to the Streamlabs website to find the latest version of labels.
Install this app again, and open it so you can log in and select the directory of files.
When adding text sources again, make sure you are using the right output directory – it should match the one that you have selected in the application.
The SLOBS will allow you to change the output data as desired.
This new text file should get a new update every minute.
If you manually edit them, the software will override them.
Memorize the changes, and wait for another minute for the label to update OBS settings.
3. Anti-virus
Other applications on your computer, such as anti-virus can interfere with the SLOBS performance.
So, if the above-mentioned solutions don’t work, check if the SLOBS is added as an exception in anti-virus software.
If not, do this and see whether the problem is resolved.
Frequently Asked Questions
