Do I need the Stream Pass or Widget Pass to create a goal bar?
Many goal bars are free, but exclusive designs are included in the Widget Pass and Stream Pass.
Where can I find my goal bar?
You can find all goal bars in OWN3D Pro here.
Where can I add a new goal bar?
You can find the Goal Bar Widget in the OWN3D Pro store and add it to any scene of your choice.
How can I edit my goal bar?
You can tweak any goal bar right in the scene where you’ve added it. Just open your scene and click on the goal bar to bring up the settings, then make any changes you like. When you’re done, save the scene and, if you haven’t already, add it to your broadcasting tool as a browser source—the link is available right there in your scene.
How do I add my goal bar to OBS Studio or other broadcasting software?
Once you’ve finished editing your goal bar in the scene, you can copy the Overlay URL from the top of the Scene Builder. You’ll need this for your broadcasting tool. Simply paste it as a browser source into OBS Studio or any similar program. In OBS Studio, click the ‘+’ in the ‘Sources’ dock of your desired scene, give your browser source a name, and the Properties window will open. Paste the URL into the ‘URL’ field and click OK to complete the setup. The process works similarly in other broadcasting tools.
Where can I get the link for my goal bar?
You can get the link for your goal bar at the top of the Scene Builder once you’ve added or edited your goal bar in a scene. Simply copy the Overlay URL, and you can paste it as a browser source into OBS Studio or any other broadcasting tool.
How can I change my goal bar design?
You can change any goal bar directly in the scene where it’s installed. Just open your scene and click on the goal bar to open its settings. From there, you can edit the design however you like. When you’re done, save the scene, and if you haven’t already, add it to your broadcasting tool as a browser source—the link is available right in your scene.
How can I update my goal bar in OBS Studio?
The goal bar will update itself once you have edited and saved it. To update it manually anyway, you need to right-click on your goal bar browser source in OBS Studio and open the properties window. Here, click on the “Refresh cache of current page” button.
Do I need to re-add the link in OBS Studio if I have subsequently edited a goal bar?
No; the goal bar updates automatically once you have saved it.
What happens when the goal bar end date is reached?
The goal bar remains in your scene, but you will see when the goal has expired.
Can I extend the time for the goal bar?
Yes! You can extend the time for your goal bar by editing it directly in the OWN3D Pro scene where it’s installed. Open your scene, click on the goal bar to access its settings, and adjust the duration as you like. Once you’re done, save the scene.
How can I remove the goal bar?
You can remove a goal bar by either deleting the widget in your OWN3D Pro scene or hiding it if you don’t want to delete it yet. In OBS Studio (or a similar broadcasting tool), you can remove the browser source or simply hide it by clicking the eye icon in the ‘Sources’ dock.
What happens with a follower goal if someone unfollows me?
If your goal bar shows a different number than expected (for example, because someone unfollows you or their subscription expires), you can click ‘Refresh cache of current page’ directly in OBS Studio in the properties of your browser source. Also, every time you launch OBS Studio, it will show the up-to-date state of your followers, subscribers, and more. If the goal bar still hasn’t updated, you can always adjust the number manually at any time in the Scene Builder.
My donation goal does not update even though I received a donation.
Make sure that you received your donation through the own3d.pro donation link. If the donations are made through another donation tool, they cannot be displayed in the goal bar, because OWN3D Pro does not have access to it. But you can easily change your donation tool to OWN3D Pro: an additional benefit of doing so is that OWN3D Pro will also not deduct anything from your donations received through its donation page.
