OBS overlay

One transparent Browser Source at 1920×1080 — place alerts in the trigger editor, not by shrinking the source.

OBS overlay panel with the Copy URL button and the OBS Browser Source checklist: 1920x1080, stretch to canvas, paste the overlay URL, leave shutdown source off
Your overlay URL is unique. Anyone with it can see your alerts, so keep it private — never paste it in chat.
Set Width 1920 and Height 1080, shut down source when not visible if you like, and leave Control audio via OBS on for sounds/TTS.
Alerts queue one-at-a-time (VIP / paid / points before chat). For mid-stream control, see OBS hotkeys and Stream Deck below.

Steps

  1. 1
    Copy the Overlay URL from Overview.
  2. 2
    OBS → Sources → Browser → paste URL, 1920×1080, FPS 30+, custom CSS empty.
  3. 3
    Stretch the source to fill the canvas; use the in-app layout preview to position each trigger.
Tip
Refresh the Browser Source after deploy updates if styles look stale.
