Emote wall
Let chat paint your screen. The emote wall floats the emotes chat is sending across your stream, and the hotwords widget shows what everyone is spamming right now.
Short answer:The StreamNeeds emote wall is an overlay widget that shows the emotes viewers send in chat floating across the stream. A companion hotwords widget shows the words chat is spamming right now.
How it works
When viewers send emotes, they float across the area you choose on your overlay. The more emotes, the busier it gets, so big moments look big. The hotwords widget picks out the words chat is repeating and shows them on screen.
Why streamers use it
An emote wall gives every chatter a way to be seen on stream, which gets lurkers to type. On a big moment, a screen full of emotes is the reaction shot that makes the clip.
How to set it up

Choose its area, size and speed.
