Chat overlay disappears after sometime on the stream...

Hello everyone, I haven't streamed in 2 months and when I streamed today I noticed the overlay is no longer staying on the live... It disappears after a few minutes. Can someone help me figure out why?

PS: Cant send the screen recording because of size...

SkullGamingHQ•3/7/25, 6:04 AM

CDrenOP•3/7/25, 6:05 AM

I posted it

CDrenOP•3/7/25, 6:07 AM

Now what?

SkullGamingHQ•3/7/25, 6:10 AM

are you signed into overlay expert website?

CDrenOP•3/7/25, 6:10 AM

I should be. I was messing with my overlay

SkullGamingHQ•3/7/25, 6:10 AM

and your not getting any errors?

CDrenOP•3/7/25, 6:11 AM

I didn’t see any

SkullGamingHQ•3/7/25, 6:11 AM

okay sign out of overlay expert and sign back in again

CDrenOP•3/7/25, 6:11 AM

Okay

CDrenOP•3/7/25, 6:14 AM

Did you see what I was talking about?

CDrenOP•3/7/25, 6:15 AM

How it just disappeared

SkullGamingHQ•3/7/25, 6:15 AM

no i never seen it, check reselect your overlay

CDrenOP•3/7/25, 6:16 AM

Do you see it now?

SkullGamingHQ•3/7/25, 6:16 AM

you mean the chat

CDrenOP•3/7/25, 6:17 AM

The chat overlay

SkullGamingHQ•3/7/25, 6:17 AM

yea the chat will fade after a certain amount of time

CDrenOP•3/7/25, 6:17 AM

Can I turn that feature off?

CDrenOP•3/7/25, 6:17 AM

So it’s permanently visible?

CDrenOP•3/7/25, 6:18 AM

I want it to stay the whole stream and not fade/disappear

CDrenOP•3/7/25, 6:19 AM

Is that a setting I have to change on the overlay itself or in overlay expert?

SkullGamingHQ•3/7/25, 6:19 AM

give me 1 second im looking into this

CDrenOP•3/7/25, 6:19 AM

Okay

SkullGamingHQ•3/7/25, 6:21 AM

no i don't think that's possible

CDrenOP•3/7/25, 6:21 AM

Dang, I remember last time (2+ months ago) it just stayed on and didn’t fade

SkullGamingHQ•3/7/25, 6:23 AM

yea im not seeing anyway to disable the hiding of the chat

CDrenOP•3/7/25, 6:24 AM

Okay

CDrenOP•3/7/25, 6:24 AM

Is it an Overlay expert thing itself i assume

CDrenOP•3/7/25, 6:28 AM

I don’t have anything set for this but i guess it’s somehow still active

SkullGamingHQ•3/7/25, 6:32 AM

it would be on the chat widget itself, you could try setting that hide after to a high number of milliseconds

CDrenOP•3/7/25, 6:37 AM

That was for the animations…

CDrenOP•3/7/25, 6:37 AM

Still disappearing at the same amount of time

SkullGamingHQ•3/7/25, 6:39 AM

there must not be anyway to disable it, i have never seen anyone wanting the chat to stay there at all times, most streamers i have seen have always wanted it to fade after alittle while so it doesnt clutter there stream

CDrenOP•3/7/25, 6:40 AM

What is the mod delay exactly?

CDrenOP•3/7/25, 6:40 AM

I was hoping it would stay like streamers like extesyy or faide

SkullGamingHQ•3/7/25, 6:41 AM

could be when a mod uses a command or when a mod does a moderation action like kicking or banning

CDrenOP•3/7/25, 6:45 AM

Thanks for your help. I’ll just deal with it

@CDren is the layer disappearing or the individual chat messages disappearing?

So when someone would message I have my overlay expert setup to have chat on the live so if someone is watching in full screen they can still see chat. After a couple seconds or a couple minutes the chat (overlay) would disappear off the live. Meaning people watching in full screen can’t see the chat anymore. But I think I got it taken care of.

Oh OK good to hear.

Maybe you had the layer set to alert or timed.
