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.
How it works
Points are kept inside OBS, like the goal bar and subathon timer, so they survive restarts. Keep the source loaded in every scene (or in the Overlay Suite) so it keeps counting. Chatting earns points at most once a minute per viewer, so spamming doesn't help.
| Command | Does |
|---|---|
!points | Shows the viewer's balance |
!store | Lists what can be bought |
!redeem Hydrate | Spends points; shows on screen and triggers alerts set to show redemptions |
!addpoints name 500 (mods) | Gives or takes points |
!resetpoints (mods) | Starts everyone at zero |
With the Twitch connection the overlay answers in chat as you; without it, answers pop up on screen only. It works on Kick chat too, unlike Twitch channel points.
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.
Frequently asked questions
Is this like Twitch channel points?
Similar, but it works on Kick too, you set the rewards and costs, and supporters can earn bonus points for subs, Bits and tips.
Where are points stored?
In OBS's browser storage on your PC, the same way the goal bar remembers its count. Nothing is stored on our servers.
