Alerts, without an overlay website
Follows, subs, gift subs, cheers, raids, tips, YouTube Super Chats and members appear as animated cards in your scene. A big one can run a moment.
Connect once
Sign in to Twitch from the app for follows, subs, cheers and raids. Add a StreamElements token to include tips, and the follows, subs and Super Chats StreamElements sees on the channels you linked to it.
Make them yours
The built-in card is simple on purpose. Switch on the Alert box extension and you choose the look (neon, poster, glass, retro or plain), the colour, where it sits and how long it stays, write your own words for each kind (“{user} tipped {money}!”), and get a sound for each. Tips and cheers can be read aloud with your computer’s voice, from an amount you set, with a list of words that are never read. You can also link a big alert to a moment (a flash, a clip, a camera cut), and test each kind with a button before you go live.
Your donation service’s own alerts work too
If you already use StreamElements, Streamlabs or another service for donations, chat requests and text-to-speech, paste its alert link as a web layer and turn on Put its sound in your stream. Streamdzy takes that page’s sound on its own, the way OBS does for a browser source, so the chime and the voice reach viewers without capturing everything else your PC plays. Everything that service supports, for the platforms it supports, works.
What is and is not built in
Built in: Twitch follows, subs, gift subs, cheers and raids; StreamElements tips and what it relays. Not built in: Streamlabs, Ko-fi, PayPal, Patreon and similar services directly, and Twitch channel-point rewards. Use their own alert link as a web layer for those. Alerts run on your PC: nothing goes through our servers.
Questions
Do I need StreamElements?
Twitch alerts work with just a Twitch sign-in. StreamElements adds tips and what it relays from other channels.
Can I read donation messages aloud?
Yes, with the Alert box extension: tips and cheers from an amount you choose, with your computer’s voice. Messages that contain words on your block list are not read.
Can I use my own alert design?
Yes. Make an extension (a web page), or paste any alert page as a web layer.
