Troubleshooting OBS
- If text does not update, check that the URL has the language you want, for example ?lang=es.
- If you change language during a live service, Voco backfills recent lines for that language; give it a few seconds after the first switch.
- If OBS shows old text after stopping and restarting the same service, refresh the Browser Source. Voco only loads transcript lines from the current live run.
- If the display is cropped, check source dimensions and transform settings.
- If text is too large or small, adjust the display URL size setting rather than scaling randomly in OBS.
