Combined chat

Every chat in one overlay

Streaming to more than one platform? Connect each one and a single chat widget shows every message in one list, with each viewer's platform marked, on a transparent background in OBS.

One list, every platform

Messages from Kick, Twitch, YouTube and Discord are turned into one chat stream with the right names, badges and colours, so your overlay never needs a second chat box.

  • Kick, Twitch, YouTube and Discord in one widget
  • Platform marked on every message
  • Emotes shown as images, with a size setting
  • Hide commands, hide bot replies and block chosen words
  • Transparent background for OBS

No popout windows

Messages come straight from your connected channels to the browser source, so there is no chat popout to capture, crop or keep open.

One viewer, one profile

Chat is only the start. The same viewer on two platforms can link their accounts, so points, giveaways and history follow one person, not two names.

How to combine your chats in OBS

  1. Connect each platform

    In Integrations, connect every channel you stream to: Kick, Twitch, YouTube and your Discord server.

  2. Add the chat widget

    Open the overlay editor and drag the Live Chat widget onto a scene. Pick its look, size and filters.

  3. Copy the scene link

    Copy the scene's browser-source link from the editor.

  4. Add it to OBS

    In OBS add a Browser source, paste the link and size it to your canvas. Chat from every platform now shows in one place.

Frequently asked questions

How do I show Kick and Twitch chat together in OBS?

Connect both channels in StreamNeeds, add the Live Chat widget to an overlay scene and add that scene to OBS as a browser source. Both chats show in one list.

Does it show YouTube chat too?

Yes. YouTube Live chat joins the same list, and so does chat from your Discord.

Can I hide bot messages and commands?

Yes. Hide commands leaves out messages that start with !, Hide bot messages leaves out bot replies, and a blocked-words list keeps chosen words off screen.
