YouTube overlay
A YouTube overlay is the set of graphics on top of your YouTube stream: alerts, the chat, goals and recent events. Trigglow gives you each widget as an OBS browser source connected to your YouTube channel, styled with one theme, and the same widgets keep working if you also stream elsewhere.
YouTube overlay widgets
Show YouTube alerts for members and Super Chats, the live chat, goals, the latest events and end credits.

One theme for the whole overlay
Apply one of the shared themes to every widget at once so alerts, chat and goals match.
Collections for each kind of stream
Save different setups as collections and switch between them; the URLs in OBS stay the same.
