From chat message updates in editor but not livestream
Hello, I tried using a dynamic text content layer with a "From Chat Message" text group, with a message pattern of /!notes (.*)/ The intended use is that I can post something like "!notes Warming up" in my chat and have "Warming up" reflected in the dynamic text element. However, whenever I try this, the text on the livestream doesn't update. When I look at it in the editor, I do, however, see the text being updated to the value I put in the Twitch chat. In addition, I also see the Initial value of the text group in the editor is now whatever value I supplied. If I click Save in the editor, only then will the value on the livestream update. Is there a way to get the text layer in the livestream to update live, like it does in the editor? Any help would be much appreciated. Twitch ID: prthrd I'll leave my livestream on for a little while so you can see the overlay. I set it show chat messages from Anyone, so you can try it out.

Only first timer in layer order can be controlled by chat
Hello, I am trying to create an overlay with multiple chat-controlled timers, but I seem to be only able to control one in the overlay. I simply created two layers with dynamic text that each have a unique timer. The timers have the message patterns "!timer1" and "!timer2", that can be sent from Anyone. When I go to the stream preview and generate a chat message "!timerX", I can only start/stop the timer in the layer that comes first in layer order. If I reverse the order of the layers, then I can control the other one. It would be nice if I could find a way to control multiple timers independently, without reordering the layers. Any help on the matter would be appreciated. Twitch ID: prthrd
