Show your Spotify song automatically
Choose My music automatically and type your Last.fm username. Last.fm is a free service that records what you play on Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, Deezer, Tidal and more; once you connect Spotify in Last.fm's settings, the overlay checks every 10 seconds and shows the song, artist and album art, and hides itself when the music stops.
Why not connect Spotify directly? Spotify only lets an app connect 5 people unless the company behind it has 250,000 monthly users, so no free site can offer a direct Spotify login to everyone. Last.fm is the reliable route most streaming tools use.
Keeping it up to date
You or a mod type !np Artist – Song (or !song, !game) and the overlay slides to the new title; long titles scroll. In game mode with your Twitch connection, it checks your stream category every minute and updates itself when you change games.
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.
