Overlay Basics
Overlays are private browser URLs you add to OBS (or any browser-source-capable app) so viewers see alerts, chat, tip menus, timers, and more on stream. Configure each overlay in the dashboard; OBS only displays the URL.
Open Overlays (/overlays): Creator + Premium.
How overlays work
- Pick an overlay type from the hub (Alerts, Chat, Tip menu, etc.).
- Tune colors, fonts, and behavior in the editor.
- Copy the browser source URL (includes a secret
tokenquery parameter). - Add a Browser source in OBS pointing at that URL.
- Trigger test events (Test Tips, pokes, control links) to preview.
Test outside OBS first
Open the overlay URL in a normal Chrome tab before adding it to OBS. If it is blank in the browser, OBS will be blank too.

Token security
Each URL contains a token so OBS can load without logging in. Regenerate token in the editor if a URL leaks: old OBS sources stop until you update them.
What you need
- Premium creator account
- OBS or stream software with browser sources
- pokesBot paired for live tip/chat-driven overlays
How to test
Trigger test tips and confirm overlay updates within a second or two in a browser tab.
