How to Use Stream Alerts and Notifications

Alerts are the animations and sounds that fire when someone follows, subscribes, donates, or raids your channel. They reward your community in the moment and keep your stream lively.

Add alerts as a browser source

Alert providers (such as Streamlabs or StreamElements) give you a browser source URL. Add it as a Browser source in OBS Studio or Streamlabs Desktop and position it where you want alerts to appear.

Match alerts to your overlay

Use alert graphics from the same family as your overlay so everything feels like one design. Many of our packages include matching alert visuals.
