Chat on stream

Put your Twitch chat on stream

A chat box shows your chat on stream, with emotes and badges, in the style of the rest of your overlay. It is a link you paste into OBS once, and a message a mod deletes leaves it too.

What it shows

  • Every message, with Twitch emotes and 7TV, BetterTTV and FrankerFaceZ ones
  • Badges, which you can turn off
  • As many lines as you choose, fading out after a while if you like
  • Chat from Kick and YouTube too, with a small tag, once you link them

Add it to OBS

  1. Sign in to Switchbud with Twitch.
  2. On the Widgets screen, click Chat box under Add.
  3. Pick its look: the preview shows exactly what OBS will.
  4. Copy the link under “Add to OBS”. In OBS, add a Browser source, paste it, and give it the size shown (500 × 700 to start).

Can I hide bots and commands?

Yes. List the names to hide, such as your bots, and switch on hiding lines that start with “!”. With the chat bot’s banned words on, a line it removes never reaches the chat box.

Will it match my overlay?

Yes. It takes the colours and font you set once for everything, and a pack gives it the same style as your alerts, goal bar and scenes.
