Ad Group Widget

The Ad Group widget is a container that shows its child widgets only during Twitch ad breaks. Use it to display custom content while ads are running — like a "be right back" screen, ad break timer, or sponsor information.

How It Works​

  1. Add an Ad Group widget to your overlay
  2. Add child widgets inside the group (text, images, etc.)
  3. The group and its children are hidden by default
  4. When a Twitch ad break starts, the group becomes visible
  5. When the ad break ends, the group hides again

Use Cases​

  • BRB screen — Show a "We'll be right back" message during ads
  • Ad timer — Use a Text widget with the {{ad_duration_remaining}} variable to show a countdown
  • Sponsor content — Display sponsor logos or messages during breaks

Useful Variables​

Combine with Text widgets using these special variables:

VariableDescription
{{ad_duration}}Total duration of the current ad break
{{ad_duration_remaining}}Time remaining in the ad break
{{next_ad}}Time until the next ad break
