Variables

Variables let you display dynamic values in your overlay or chat bot. Unlike with Functions however you cannot add in any extra parameters.

The format for using variables is {{variable_name}}. There can be no spaces in-between the word and the curly brackets. Variables can be used inside Functions but not the other way around.

For overlays

When used in the text field of a Text Widget or similar, they will display their value and automatically refresh when the value changes.

Alert variables

Text widgets placed inside a Custom Alert Box Widget can reference the firing alert's individual fields via the {{alert.<field>}} namespace — for example {{alert.name}}, {{alert.bits}}, {{alert.streak_months}}. The same handles work inside the streamer-configured display message and TTS message templates in Alert Configuration. See the full alert variable reference.
