Alerts

Stream alerts you design once and forget about

Connect your channel, design how each alert looks and sounds, and add one browser source to OBS. Alerts play on stream as the events happen, and you can replay any of them from the dashboard.

Every event your chat cares about

Alerts fire on real platform events, not a poller guessing. Each type has its own look, sound and message.

  • Follow alerts
  • Sub alerts: new, renewal and gifted
  • Tips, Kicks and bits
  • Raid alerts
  • Discord alerts when someone joins your server

Rules for the moments that matter

Give big moments their own alert: a different design above an amount, for a sub tier, for a first-time supporter or for one named viewer. Test any alert from the editor before you go live, so nothing surprises you on stream.

Replays and history

Every alert lands in the history, so you can replay one you missed, skip one that is playing or pause alerts for a moment without touching OBS.

How to add stream alerts to OBS

  1. Connect your channel

    Sign up with Google and connect Kick or Twitch in Integrations.

  2. Design each alert

    Pick the look, sound and message for follows, subs, gifted subs, tips, Kicks, bits and raids.

  3. Test it

    Fire a test alert from the editor to check how it looks and sounds.

  4. Add the alerts link to OBS

    Copy your alerts link and add it to OBS as a Browser source. That one source plays every alert.
