Alert Box Widget

The Alert Box widget is where your stream alerts are displayed. When a stream trigger fires (follow, sub, cheer, raid), the alert's image, audio, and text appear in this widget.

Setup​

  1. Add an Alert Box widget to your overlay
  2. Position and resize it where you want alerts to appear
  3. Configure the alert settings for each event type

Event Configuration​

Each event type can be individually enabled and configured:

EventSettings
FollowsEnable/disable, custom message template
CheersEnable/disable, message template, show viewer's message
SubscriptionsEnable/disable, new sub message, resub message, show viewer's message
Gifted SubsEnable/disable, singular and plural message templates
RaidsEnable/disable, message template

Alert Settings​

Audio DelaySeconds to wait before playing audio
Disable TTSTurn off text-to-speech for all events

Animation​

Alerts support entrance and exit animations. See Alert Configuration for animation types and options.

Text Styling​

Alert text supports customization:

  • Font family, size, and weight
  • Text color with up to two outline colors
  • Drop shadow

Tips​

  • One Alert Box per overlay is usually sufficient — alerts queue and play sequentially
  • Size matters — Make the widget large enough for your alert images to display clearly
  • Test your alerts using the trigger test button to see how they look
