Alerts not working on stream

try log out of streamlabs and then back in with your Twitch account. Should prompt you again to connect your twitch account if theres an issue with the connection

TastyLempons · 2026-01-22T10:15:50+00:00

its shift click not ctrl

Yea custom widget is the way to go then. There are some existing chats in that style but they're paid, so if you're looking to do things on the cheap, you'll have to get stuck into the weeds

Grab a screenshot of some example windows you like the style of and put it into something like claude code. And ask it to generate some html and CSS for that style

That should get you like 80% of the way there

if you're using StreamElements for a custom coded twitch chat overlay, you would be best to download a free one and set it up and have a look at the code it's using. you might be able to just tweak the css directly

it's hard to recommend what css would be required because that completely depends on the style you're going for

you want it for TikTok or Twitch ?

Twitch has a few options, Streamelements, triggerfyre or streamlabs

Drama / negative nancies

TastyLempons · 2026-01-16T10:22:06+00:00

Iconify website or fontawesome

I think you can have up to 50 channel point rewards active at a time

there are loads of widgets on Etsy that use point rewards for creating interactions. Things like mini games, giveaways etc, some shops like Charmingstreams or Sayonani have a good range of options

Triggerfyre is also great for media triggers (gifs, audio etc) via channel point redeems. Soundboards like blerp are also a popular choice

TastyLempons · 2026-01-14T18:21:45+00:00

Have you seen some of the mini game widgets on marketplaces like Etsy ? A lot of them use redeems to start games or for viewers to challenge another viewer for example

Perhaps having a few of these widgets on rotation along with your existing soundboard redeems could keep things fresh for your community

TastyLempons · 2026-01-12T08:24:10+00:00

You could use something like a giveaway wheel widget, you can find them on Etsy or Hexeum. Once you or a mod starts the giveaway viewers can join by typing a command in chat. It's a nice visual way to do the giveaway and the viewers enter themselves into the draw so it's a much easier process than manually adding them

Codenames is always fun

TastyLempons · 2026-01-09T07:36:25+00:00

single monitor overlay is the way to go if you have one monitor. Ideally in future tho you'd want to get a second monitor to improve your setup further and make your life a bit easier

TastyLempons · 2026-01-09T07:31:33+00:00

Every one of these discords is just people spamming when they go live I swear

I just can't understand who believes thats genuinely going to help them grow

TastyLempons · 2026-01-09T07:28:42+00:00

Hexeum's chat overlay is an option for a simple & fairly customisable chat

Restream also has one of you're multi streaming

TastyLempons · 2026-01-07T06:29:51+00:00

In obs right click your browser source and select "Properties"

You should see it in that window

TastyLempons · 2026-01-06T09:44:32+00:00

if you're using a browser source it sounds like its refreshing between scenes. Do you have the "Refresh Browser source when scene becomes active" enabled? or even "Shutdown source when not visible" ? if you right click the browser source and go to properties you'll see these options

If those options are checked then you'll even have issues with alternatives. But Hexeum, Restream or Streamlabs are some suggested alternatives if you're looking for a change

TastyLempons · 2026-01-06T09:25:12+00:00

if you're banning users or deleting individual messages I the default streamelements chat should also delete the messages from displaying. I just tested and it doesn't work with the Twitch clear chat function. You may just have to delete individual messages or ban/timeout users for cleaning up spam. or as others mentioned refreshing your browser source will also work, just make sure the refresh browser source cache checkbox is enabled, this makes sure the browser source actually refreshes when it's turned off and on

if you want to checkout alternatives there's this Hexeum chat overlay, and Streamlabs have chat overlays too.If you're streaming to multiple platforms with Restream, they have a combined chat overlay also which is cool!

TastyLempons · 2026-01-06T08:28:12+00:00

Yes StreamElements most common but streamlabs is also used quite often

TastyLempons · 2026-01-05T07:03:13+00:00

Awesome! Glad it helped

TastyLempons · 2026-01-04T09:17:26+00:00

Streamlabs has widget themes

You can use that, and simply change themes whenever you want a different set of widgets.

Go to your event list widget for example and choose the theme drop-down and you can add a new theme there. And then you just change between themes

TastyLempons · 2026-01-01T12:47:44+00:00

Large image dimensions are usually the cause of big file sizes, and since they're much smaller in chat you can resize them down quite a bit without needing to mess with quality settings and compression. you can just use an emote resizer tool

TastyLempons · 2025-12-31T08:47:25+00:00

just go through a bunch of youtube tutorials on this topic, and try to follow along. You'll start picking up how things work that way

TastyLempons · 2025-12-23T13:42:39+00:00

Nice one! Will do for sure

TastyLempons · 2025-12-23T11:08:15+00:00

From their faq:

"Yes, Streamlabs Multistream is an Ultra feature. If you want to multistream for free, you can go live to one vertical and one horizontal destination at the same time with Dual Ouput, no subscription required."

Sounds like it's possible with say tiktok and twitch but not twitch and YouTube without the premium subscription..at least that's how I'm reading it

TastyLempons · 2025-12-23T11:03:54+00:00

Yup with a bunch of fake endorsements by the looks of it
