Widget setup
Updated over a year ago

Uplify is compatible with commonly used broadcasting software like OBS, Streamlabs, Streamlabs Mobile, Twitch Studio, XSplit, and SE.Live. However, we suggest using OBS Studio.

We provide you with a single widget for all sponsorships. After a simple one-time setup, all you have to do is start streaming. It's that easy.

Setting up your widget is one of the most important aspects to work with Uplify sponsorship campaigns.

Go to the Settings page and find the Widget link section. There are two ways to set it up. If you're using OBS Studio, the easiest way is Option 1: Drag and Drop into OBS. For other broadcasting software, use the second Option 2: Setup widget from scratch.

Option 1: Drag and drop into OBS

Simply Drag and drop your widget into OBS, and it will automatically generate the browser source. Double-click on the layer to access additional browser source settings.

Drag & Drop will not work if OBS is running as Administrator.

Please ensure that the size parameters are set to 1920 x 1080 and avoid changing the default settings.

  1. Enable Control audio via OBS

  2. Enable Use custom frame rate

  3. Set FPS to 30

  1. Enable Shutdown source when not visible
    If the widget is not visible but not shutdown, it will still try to deliver the sponsorship, which affecting the accuracy of the views history.

  2. Enable Refresh browser when scene becomes active

  3. Set Page permissions to Full access to OBS

  4. Click Refresh cache of current Page

  5. Click OK to save settings

  1. Lock the layer. Don't move or resize the source after setting it up.

  2. Put the source at the top of your scene and add it to every scene if needed.

Make sure it's in every scene in your broadcasting software, and position it above other sources to avoid being covered by another source or your camera.
We only pay for views when the source is completely visible.

If the setup is wrong, you'll see an error message saying Widget configured incorrectly. Make sure to use the default widget settings of 1920 x 1080.

Option 2: Setup widget from scratch

Begin by clicking Copy Link and then open your broadcasting software.

Click Add source and choose Browser source.

Name the layer Uplify and click OK.

  1. Paste Widget link to URL

  2. Set Width to 1920

  3. Set Height to 1080

  4. Enable Control audio via OBS

  5. Enable Use custom frame rate

  6. Set FPS to 30

Please ensure that the size parameters are set to 1920 x 1080.

  1. Enable Shutdown source when not visible
    If the widget is not visible but not shutdown, it will still try to deliver the sponsorship, which affecting the accuracy of the views history.

  2. Enable Refresh browser when scene becomes active

  3. Set Page permissions to Full access to OBS

  4. Click Refresh сache of сurrent page

  5. Click OK to save settings

  1. Lock the layer. Don't move or resize the source after setting it up.

  2. Put the source at the top of your scene and add it to every scene if needed.

Make sure it's in every scene in your broadcasting software, and position it above other sources to avoid being covered by another source or your camera. It could cause views not to be counted correctly, resulting in lost earnings, a temporary account block, or, as a last resort, a banned account.

If the setup is wrong, you'll see an error message saying Widget configured incorrectly. Make sure to use the widget settings of 1920 x 1080.

Extra settings in your broadcasting program

Enable Browser Source Hardware Acceleration

To prevent browser source lags and freeze, go to the Settings in broadcasting software.

  1. Click Advanced

  2. Turn on Enable Browser Source Hardware Acceleration in the Sources section. In some cases, you might need to uncheck it if it's already enabled.

Setting up your audio

We have a standard volume level for all sponsor integrations, so you don't need to adjust the volume too much when showing sponsored content. However, because creators use different sound cards, some may experience volume issues during the livestream. To prevent very loud sounds, consider changing the default audio settings.

You can adjust the volume in the Audio Mixer. Fine-tune it and test the volume using the Send Preview. We suggest setting it at -2.0 dB by default, or up to -9 dB if necessary.

Make sure that you haven't turned off the audio. It could cause views not to be counted correctly, resulting in lost earnings, a temporary account block, or, as a last resort, a banned account.

Test the widget

If you're setting up the service for the first time, and after setting up the widget correctly, you see the error Chat bot not working, we suggest configuring the chatbot first before doing the final check on the widget. Check step-by-step guide for chatbot setup.

Go back to the Settings page and look at the widget status. If everything is working right, it will show as ON. It might take up to 15 minutes for the status to update.

Try out the widget by clicking the Send preview. This will show test campaigns in your broadcasting software.

Open your broadcasting software, review the test animation. If you are currently live, the test will show up on your stream:

Disclaimer

Don't try to modify, change or settings abuse with the widget link. It could cause views not to be counted correctly, resulting in lost earnings, a temporary account block, or, as a last resort, a banned account. Most popular problem:

  • Incorrect widget settings as per the instructions, like size, position, frame rate, disabled audio for widget etc.

  • The widget is not placed at the top of the scene. We automatically take a screenshot and short video of each integration and analyse them using AI software.
