Overlay widgets
Chat, activity, goals, credits, emote rain and music overlays, each its own Browser Source, plus OBS text sources in Trigglow Studio.
Besides alerts, the Overlays group in the sidebar has a page for each overlay: Chat (
/app/chat-overlay), Activity (/app/activity-overlay), Goals (/app/goals-overlay), Credits (/app/credits-overlay), Emote rain (/app/emotes-overlay) and Music requests (/app/music-requests). Quests, Giveaways and Loyalty have overlays too, covered in their own sections. Each overlay has its own link and is added to OBS from Overlays with Add to OBS, at a suggested size and zone.Chat shows your live chat with role badges and a Kick, Twitch or YouTube mark, at the top or bottom, and can hide old messages. Activity shows your latest follow, sub, donation and raid, or a list of recent events, and can filter by platform, TikTok included. Goals shows progress bars for followers, subscribers, gifted subs or donations.
Credits rolls end credits thanking followers, subs, donors and raiders from the period you choose; it starts by itself or waits for Roll credits now. Emote rain drops emotes, emoji and icons over the stream when chat sends emotes, on follows, subs, raids or tips, or when someone with permission types the chat command; it is the only overlay that covers the full 1920×1080 canvas. The Music overlay shows what is playing and what viewers requested.
Each page has a live preview, a theme picker and style controls, and changes reach OBS without refreshing the source. OBS texts (
/app/obs-texts) appears only inside Trigglow Studio: it writes your latest follower, latest donation or goal progress into a plain OBS text source that updates by itself, with no overlay.Steps
- 1Open Overlays (
/app/overlays) and click Configure on the overlay you want. - 2Choose what it shows and pick a theme; check the live preview.
- 3Go back to Overlays and click Add to OBS, or Copy link and add a Browser Source by hand at the size in the guide.
- 4Move or resize the source in OBS; the chip on Overlays changes to Detected in OBS once it loads.
Tip
Theme for all overlays, at the bottom of Overlays, puts one theme on Chat, Activity, Goals, Credits, Quests, Loyalty & XP, Giveaway and Music at once for a matching set.
Note
The credits list is built when the source loads. With autoplay off, the credits stay hidden until you press Roll credits now; Stop hides them again.
Note
The Music overlay needs Spotify connected on Music requests, or now playing from Trigglow Studio.
Note
OBS texts needs Trigglow Studio, because Studio is what talks to OBS on your PC.
