How switching worksGood questions.
Is Switchbud really free?
Yes. Alerts, widgets, the chat bot, the live dashboard and stats all work for free. Pro is a bonus: more room for uploads, the sponsor page and premium designer packs. What Pro adds.
Do I need to download anything?
No. Each alert box or widget goes into OBS as a link (a “browser source”), and we show you where to paste it. The same works in Streamlabs Desktop, XSplit or anything with a browser source. Adding alerts to OBS.
I’m new to streaming. Is this for me?
Yes, that’s who it’s built for. The first sign-in sets up your alerts, widgets and bot commands in one minute, and every screen offers a short tour.
I use StreamElements, Streamlabs or Nightbot. Can I switch?
Yes. Your StreamElements and Nightbot commands come over in one go, timers by pasting them, and overlay packs made for StreamElements or Streamlabs run as sold: import their ZIP. Switching from StreamElements.
Does Switchbud handle my money?
No. Tips go through the service you use (Ko-fi, Tipeee, Streamlabs, Buy Me a Coffee…), straight to you. We only hear that a tip happened, so we can show it.
What happens to my data?
It runs your alerts and widgets. It is never sold or used for ads, and chat is never stored. Disconnect Switchbud in your Twitch settings, or delete your account in one click. Privacy Policy.
