Paste a URL, done
No desktop app, no plugin, no login inside your streaming software. It's a browser source and nothing else.
Overlays and alerts
One browser source. Every event on screen.
Tip alerts, new members, and a live goal bar rendered through a single overlay URL that reconnects on its own.
Why it works
Overlays and alerts
Tip and member alerts
Name, amount, and the supporter's message, on screen the moment the payment clears.
Live goal bar
A persistent progress bar that updates in place, so viewers can see their contribution land.
Tuned to your layout
Duration, sound, position, and a minimum amount, so alerts fit your scene instead of fighting it.
Setup
Two minutes, once.
Copy the overlay URL from your dashboard, add a browser source in OBS, paste, and size it. It stays connected for the length of the broadcast and reconnects if the network hiccups.
- Works in OBS, Streamlabs, and Twitch Studio
- Transparent background, no chroma key needed
- Reconnects automatically after a drop
Events
Everything that matters, one layer.
Tips, new members, and goal progress all render through the same overlay, so you're not stacking three sources and hoping they don't overlap.
- Tip alerts with amount and message
- New member and tier-upgrade events
- Goal progress that updates live
Control
Interruption is a budget. Spend it well.
A minimum alert amount keeps interruptions rare enough to matter. Smaller tips still count toward the goal bar and still show in your dashboard.
- Minimum amount before an alert fires
- Adjustable duration and sound
- Message moderation before anything is read out
Getting started
Get alerts running before you go live.
01
Connect Stripe
Alerts fire on real payments, so the payment side needs to be live first.
02
Copy the overlay URL
It's in your dashboard under the overlay settings. Treat it as private — anyone with it can render your alerts.
03
Add a browser source
Paste the URL, set the canvas size, and position the layer in your scene.
04
Send a test tip
Smallest allowed amount from your phone. Confirm the alert, then refund it.
Why alerts work
An alert is a public thank-you delivered instantly to an audience. It rewards the supporter with recognition, and it shows every other viewer that supporting is a thing people here actually do.
That second effect is the one creators underrate. Visible support is social proof, and social proof converts far better than any amount of asking.
Designing an alert that doesn't annoy
Keep it short — two to four seconds is plenty. Keep the sound quiet and distinct from your game audio. Put it somewhere that doesn't cover the thing people are watching.
And set a floor. An alert that fires for every tiny amount trains your audience to ignore alerts, which devalues the ones that should land.
Goal bars beat alerts for slow streams
On a long, low-key broadcast, alerts are sparse and the page feels static. A goal bar is always on screen doing quiet work, and it gives new arrivals context for why anyone would tip at all.
Pair the two: a bar that's always visible, and alerts reserved for amounts worth interrupting for.
FAQ
Questions people ask first.
Do alerts cost extra?
No. Overlays and alerts are part of the product, including on the free tier.
Can I customise how alerts look?
Position, duration, sound, and threshold are configurable. Deeper visual theming is limited today — tell us via the contact page if you need more.
Is the overlay URL private?
Yes, treat it like a secret. Anyone holding it can render your alert layer, so don't show it on stream while configuring.
What if my connection drops mid-stream?
The overlay reconnects on its own and picks up new events. Payments that happened during the gap still land in your dashboard.
Does it work with a second PC setup?
Yes — it's just a URL, so it runs on whichever machine holds your scene collection.
