OBS overlays: overview and how to add them
A list of all Twir overlays and how to add any of them to OBS as a browser source.
Interactive overlays that react to your chat
Twir overlays are web pages that you add to OBS Studio or Streamlabs Desktop as a browser source. They are connected to the bot, so they react to chat, commands and events in real time.
Show your chat, the track that is playing, Faceit or Valorant stats, a donation goal or stream stats. Let viewers launch an emote explosion with !kappagen, or walk around your stream as Pixel Dudes. Take a break with a BRB screen and a countdown started by !brb.
