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.
What it shows
- Polls: the question, each choice's votes and share, and a countdown; when the poll ends, the winner is outlined and the final results stay up for the time you set.
- Predictions: each outcome's channel points, share and number of predictors, in Twitch's blue and pink; then "Locked", and the winning outcome (or "Refunded" if you cancel).
- Hype trains: the level, progress to the next level and time left.
- Ad breaks: a countdown with your message while ads run, so viewers know you'll be right back.
Example: a prediction with 52,300 points on "Yes" and 88,100 on "No way" shows 37% and 63%. If "No way" wins, its row is outlined and believers get about 1.59 points back per point they spent (140,400 ÷ 88,100).
Start polls and predictions from your Twitch dashboard or chat as usual; the overlay picks them up within a second through Twitch EventSub. It needs your Twitch connection; tick "Use my Twitch connection" above before copying the link, and keep the link private.
Frequently asked questions
Why show Twitch polls in an overlay?
Viewers watching fullscreen, on a TV, a console or a VOD don't see Twitch's poll and prediction panels. Putting them on stream lets everyone follow along.
Does it need my Twitch login?
Yes, once: Twitch only shares polls, predictions and hype trains with the channel owner. Connect at /connect/twitch with read-only permissions, and disconnect any time.
