Expected Behavior
My webm alerts from both streamlabs and streamelements should play the video+audio. My emote wall should also display emotes flying around screen.
Current Behavior
Alerts play audio only, and emote wall shows no emotes.
Steps to Reproduce
- Send a test alert or send emotes in chat
- Hear audio, but no video or see no emotes on emote wall
Anything else we should know?
To fix this I go into page permissions and change it to any other option. Then the alert works correctly with both video and audio. And emote wall works correctly.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the linked OBS Studio log and reproducing the browser source behavior with Streamlabs or Streamelements alerts and the emote wall on Windows 10 with OBS Studio 27.2.1. Investigate why changing page permissions makes video and emotes appear, and consider the issue done when browser-source alerts show video and audio without changing that setting.
