Stream Overlays
How to set up alerts and overlays for your stream
Engage your viewers by showing donations and events live on your stream. ZeroCut provides "Browser Source" URLs that you can add to your broadcasting software.
- Go to your Dashboard > Settings > Integrations.
- Under OBS Embeds, enable embeds if they aren't already.
- Copy the Embed URL for the widget you want (e.g., Donation Alert).
- Open OBS / Streamlabs.
- Add a new Source and select Browser.
- Paste the HTTPS Embed URL into the URL field.
- Set the Width and Height (recommended: 800x600 for alerts).
- Click OK.
Displays a popup notification when someone donates. This is our most feature-rich widget.
- Variants: Choose from 5 distinct styles:
- Simple: Clean and minimal.
- GIF: Displays a GIF for your alert. Premium users can upload a custom alert GIF or paste an HTTPS GIF URL.
- Banner: A sleek, wide banner style.
- Party: Festive confetti animation.
- Diamond: A premium, diamond-themed look.
- Message: Customize the text template (e.g., "New Donation!").
- Custom GIF: Premium users can upload a GIF or paste any HTTPS GIF URL (external links may be reviewed).
- Sound: Upload your own custom MP3 or use our default sound.
Enable TTS to have donation messages read aloud on your stream.
- Minimum Amount: Set a minimum donation amount (e.g., $5) required to trigger TTS, preventing spam from small donations.
We offer an advanced, "NSA-level" profanity filter to keep your stream safe.
- Actions: Choose what happens when profanity is detected:
- Censor: Replaces bad words with asterisks (e.g.,
****). TTS will skip reading the censored words.
- Hide Message: Completely hides the message from the alert and skips TTS reading entirely (only the amount is announced).
- Custom Blocklist: Add specific words you want to block that aren't in our default list.
- Allowlist: View the default blocklist and uncheck specific words to allow them if you don't find them offensive.
Get notified when you get a new follower.
- Variants: Same styles as donation alerts (Simple, GIF, Banner, Party, Diamond).
- Sound: Upload a custom sound for new followers.
- GIF: The GIF style uses the same Alert GIF configured under Donation Alert.
Shows a progress bar for your active donation goal. Great for fundraising events!

- Profanity Filter: This widget also respects your profanity filter settings, ensuring that any listed donations are censored or hidden according to your preferences.
The process is similar for TikTok Live Studio:
- Click Add Component > Browser Source.
- Paste your ZeroCut Embed URL.
- Adjust the size and position on your canvas.
