Ticker

A single-line ticker that scrolls recent alert events across the lower third. It reads the same alert stream as the Alerts overlay, so a follow, sub, cheer, or raid appears in both if you run them together.Renders live from overlayAlert.

  1. In OBS, add a Browser source and paste the URL above.
  2. Replace YOUR_TWITCH_ID with your Twitch user id. The exact host and port are shown in the app's Overlays panel.
  3. Set a transparent background and turn off "Shutdown source when not visible".
