Make it fit your stream

Every screenshot here is the same source, set up differently.

Run it as a column down the side of your scene or as a bar across the bottom. Pick a look, then change the font, the size, the colours, the corners, the spacing and how much room each message takes. Turn timestamps on. Make the emotes bigger. Round the bubbles off, or square them up.

If you want something really specific, hand it your own bubble artwork and it will stretch to fit any message without going blurry.

No CSS, no theme files to hunt down.

Classic. Simple rows, easy to read, gets out of the way.

Nobody misses a sub or a raid

When somebody subscribes, gifts subs or raids you, it shows up as a message that actually says what happened, highlighted so it stands out from the conversation around it.

First-time chatters get their own highlight too, so you can spot a new face and say hello.

Emotes that actually work

Twitch, 7TV, BetterTTV and FrankerFaceZ emotes all show up, and the animated ones animate. It only loads the emotes your channel actually uses, and it keeps an eye on how hard it is working so a wall of emotes will not slow your stream down.

Profile pictures, badges and pronouns sit next to each name, so chat on your overlay looks like chat really looks.

Emotes, badges and profile pictures, the way your chat really looks.
