- 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 URL into the URL field.
- Set the Width and Height (recommended: 800x600 for alerts).

Available Widgets
Donation Alert
Displays a popup notification when someone donates. This is our most feature-rich widget.
Customization Options
- Variants: Choose from 5 distinct styles:
- Simple: Clean and minimal.
- Giphy: Displays a random GIF from Giphy (you can set a specific search term).
- 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!").
- Sound: Upload your own custom MP3 or use our default sound.
Text-to-Speech (TTS)
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.
Profanity Filter
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).
- Censor: Replaces bad words with asterisks (e.g.,
- 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.
