How to add it to OBS, Streamlabs or Meld
- Set it up above, then press Copy link.
- In OBS Studio, click + under Sources and choose Browser. In Streamlabs Desktop, add a Browser Source; in Meld Studio, add a Browser layer.
- Paste the link into the URL box and set the width and height shown under the link.
- Leave "Shutdown source when not visible" off. If it is on, live alerts and goals stop whenever you switch scenes.
- Drag it where you want it and resize it with the red handles. The background is transparent, so only the text shows.
It also works as a Twitch Studio, PRISM Live or vMix browser input. Gear that pairs well: a Stream Deck or a free OBS install. Disclosure. Your settings are saved in this browser, so you can come back and change them; after changing settings, paste the new link into the source.

The overlay remembers the last message from each of the most recent 300 chatters.
How it hears your chat: the overlay connects to your Twitch or Kick chat the same anonymous, read-only way a logged-out viewer does. It never posts, needs no login or token, and sees subs, gift subs and Bits as they're announced in chat. Commands only work for you (the broadcaster) and your moderators.
