TipAlerts not working on CB?

Is anyone else who uses TipAlerts for custom tip graphics thru OBS experiencing this? I just realized that I haven't heard any of the sound effects...

TLDR

I think TipAlerts are a handy tool for streamers, but when they stop working it feels like a piece of your show is missing. It’s especially annoying when the sound cues vanish and the site says you’re offline while you’re actually broadcasting.

Why Are My TipAlerts Not Showing Up on Chaturbate?

Many cam models rely on TipAlerts to add custom graphics and sound effects to their streams. When the service stops sending those signals, the OBS sources stay silent and the visual cues never appear. The most common reasons are a broken link between the cam site and the TipAlerts server, an expired API key, or a change in the stream URL that the alert system still points to. Sometimes the streaming platform updates its embed code, which can break the connection that tells TipAlerts when a broadcast is live. Another frequent issue is that the stream key or channel name has been altered, causing the alert site to look for a page that no longer exists. To troubleshoot, start by logging into the TipAlerts dashboard and confirming that your stream status shows as online. If it still says offline, double‑check that the stream key you entered matches the one shown in your streaming software. Restarting OBS, clearing the cache, and re‑entering the API credentials often resolves the problem. If the issue persists, contacting support with screenshots of the error messages can speed up a fix.

How Can I Fix TipAlerts That Show My Stream as Offline?

Seeing TipAlerts report your stream as offline while you are live can be confusing and disruptive. The first step is to verify that the streaming software is actually sending a live signal to the platform. Open your streaming dashboard and look for the live indicator; if it shows green, the stream is active. Next, open the TipAlerts test page and enter the exact stream name or URL that appears in your OBS settings. If the test returns an error, the problem is likely a mismatch in the URL or a temporary server glitch. You can also try clearing the browser cache or using a different browser to rule out local issues. Updating the TipAlerts plugin to the latest version can fix bugs that cause false offline reports. Additionally, make sure that no firewall or VPN is blocking the connection between your computer and the TipAlerts servers. If after these steps the problem remains, reach out to the support team with the exact error text and a short video of the alert behavior. They can often identify a backend timeout or a recent change on the platform that requires a quick patch.
