My old horizontal chat solution, KapChat, stopped working today after Twitch rolled out their new API. This one works beautifully as a replacement. THANK YOU (and MrBoost) SO MUCH.
Thank you! I made it ☺️ And all directly in OBS. I’ve made other vids covering pretty much every asset I used to make the overlay, layering blur effects from StreamFX plug-in and animated borders. It’s a simple process, just lots of layers.
Hi, thank you very much for the video and a small question, is it possible to set it to multistream as well, so that it takes both Twitch and youtube chat?
This will only do one at a time but you can look into Restream Chat as that does multiple. You can get a very similar effect with it and it’s really customisable. I haven’t had time these days to make new vids as I would have deffo made one for Restream :)
Great guide, but is it possible to use custom fonts with this? The ones in the drop down list and the Nutty font are not suitable and I'd like to use my own font. Thanks.
Thank you ☺️ I think it’s currently limited to the fonts you see but if you drop MrBoost a msg with a suggestion to allow a field for custom fonts within StreamElements he may look to add it to a future update :)
Thanks Lauren! It's actually just an animated border I made in Davinci Resolve using a rotating gradient to get the colours to change. I will add it to my list of video's to make for you :)
I think something like that could be achieved using the scrolling text effect in OBS and you would need to pull the info into a text file for it to pick up. My good friend Andilippi did a tutorial showing how to get recent events to show on stream so would just need to combine this into scrolling text and I think you would be there. Here’s a link to his vid :) ruclips.net/video/QU0Uk8Ug-Ag/видео.html
this is a great widget but for some reason it introduces a small 'squeak' to announce each message as it appears - is there a way to turn this off? it's pretty annoying lol
@@outshinedkg it never did that for me!! How strange. I feel there must be an audio file linked to it in one of the options that you could change or likely mute. You can also mute individual sources in OBS and mute this I think. Alternatively take a look at Restream Chat. I moved to this about a year ago as it allows horizontal chat from combined channels such as twitch and RUclips together
where the blank is the link in all that mess in your description i cant find it all and its not clear at all where is this link below that take me to the overlay i clicked them all show it next time i disliked your unclear setup you skips the where to find it or where to click on it ill have to go watch another video because i cant find it here
Sorry you had a hard time finding the link. It’s there right under where I credited Nutty and MrBoost and also in the Video Links section. But to save you hunting here’s it again: Sideways Chat Widget for StreamElements (by MrBoost): streamelements.com/dashboard/overlays/share/5ebc0a5de58aed5c596cf672 I appreciate the feedback and will see if there’s anything I can do to make the video links more prominent.
@@BeckiLea Ah yes I see it where it use to say link below I still wish you showed how and where you got the link it would of been vary helpful. Thanks for replaying to my post even tho it was a bit negative. keep up the great work 😊
@@ZNsolo101 honestly I really appreciate the feedback, even if negative as I’m always learning and want to make videos that are actually helpful :) So thank you for taking the time! I was sent the link by a friend to make the video so wasn’t really able to show it in that way, as I do usually go through the downloading process when it’s available. Enjoy the horizontal text, it makes a massive difference to the appearance of the stream and it’s one of my faves 💜
Hey. I would think this is by design as when you use the disappear feature it’s clears the chat, so it would’t be able to link nicknames to the previous message.
@@BeckiLea I noticed this, too, but unfortunately when I pick a different font and try to resize, it cuts off the bottom. Any ideas on how to remedy that?
Hiya. Did you try using the 'Send Test Message' so you get a sample text to pop over? I thought this broken for me at first as I had set messages for myself and my bots not to show in the display, so when I tried to test it nothing showed. I use Chrome too so that shouldn't be a problem.
@@Michelle-sx9pe it never did that for me!! How strange. I feel there must be an audio file linked to it in one of the options that you could change or likely mute.

@@BeckiLea Hey thanks for your reply BeckiLea! I figured out how to do it on my end (and learn something new in the process!) which was open up the properties of the browser source and under Width and Height there are two checkboxes.. the 2nd checkbox is called "Control Audio via OBS" and that brings up that browser source in the Audio Mixer where I could adjust it/mute it! HAPPY DAYS!!!!
You could try adding it via StreamElements and copying over to your Facebook profile on SE but it's not something I've tested. It was made specifically to integrate with Twitch Chat - there may be a Facebook version but as I don't stream there it's not something I've seen unfortunately.
I’ve moved the link back up to the top, sorry it was a mess down there, Mercury updates my links and it pushed the link down below the kit links. Hopefully this is back where it should be and you can find your link now. Appreciate the feedback.
Eyyyyyyyyyy!
The man, the myth, the LEGEND! Thank you again dude!
@@BeckiLea no problem! Glad you like it! Awesome video!
Is there any way of adding fonts to the widget? Its absolutely perfect but I use a specific font which isn't avalible sadly.
@@TwistyShape Same, I would love to use some of my own fonts for the chat widget.
Is there a reason my on-screen chat now seems to have your BoostedBot saying "MrBoost is awaiting battle?" Seems like a slight bug
My old horizontal chat solution, KapChat, stopped working today after Twitch rolled out their new API. This one works beautifully as a replacement. THANK YOU (and MrBoost) SO MUCH.
Glad to hear it!! That API will be causing a few issues to lots of services but I’m sure developers will be rolling out updates soon. 💜
All about that minimalism!!! GG Bekz
Honestly I had this installed previously as a plug-in and having it available like this is so much easier for those just starting out!
THANK YOU OMG! I saw this on another streamer's VOD and couldn't for the life of me find out how to do it until now!
Glad to help Mimi! It makes such a difference doesn’t it? :)
I searched this for ages. Thanks! Very useful!!
Glad to help! Enjoy ☺️
Hey! Great Vid! I wanted to know where did you get the overlay at the end of the video?
Thank you! I made it ☺️ And all directly in OBS.
I’ve made other vids covering pretty much every asset I used to make the overlay, layering blur effects from StreamFX plug-in and animated borders. It’s a simple process, just lots of layers.
@@BeckiLea Thank You so much! Love the creativity, time for me to get to work! Lol thanks again!
Looks great!! Reminds me of Nutty overlays.
Kept watching and Nutty was there 😂😂😂😅
Guys a legend!! Him and Andilippi are doing amazing things on Twitch 💜 Huge inspirations to me 😍
Thank you! I was looking for this!
video is goated for that link

I have subbed, you're underrated!
Wow thank you Azethine! 💜
I have a question! How did you do the time and date in the bottom righthand corner??
It’s a little too hard to explain here but luck has it a good friend of mine just made a video how to do it. Check out Andilippi’s latest video :)
Tsym for the tutorial! I love the little RBG outline of your chat, share your secrets!?
Thanks Lauren! It's actually just an animated border I made in Davinci Resolve using a rotating gradient to get the colours to change. I will add it to my list of video's to make for you :)
Great video, absolutely amazing, GG's! 😎
Thanks so much Addiefied, glad to help 💜
Thanks for the video!
Nice job Nutty and Mr Boost
Thank you for the nice and easy tutorial video!
Mine isn't working
Another good one, thanks Bekz!
Hopefully these are improving! Got so many vid ideas in the pipeline and want to do them justice!
@@BeckiLea Yes definitely getting better! 😊
Thanking ye. I'm am glad Im not the only Graphic design that went - I could save space if this side scrolled.
Ha ha yeah I always disliked the big block of chat taking up all that space... this gives so much room for activities 😂 Enjoy!!
WELL ! Thank you so much ! I've been looking for it very hard and your tutorial is absolutely amazing ! thanks !
You’re welcome Onyginal, thanks for the kind words and enjoy the new text! 💜
This is a great video my dude
Thanks so much Matt! Hope it helps you out 💜
I just wanted to know how you made those Blurry/Frosted Header and Footer overlay?
Hiya Saifii! I have another tutorial on the blur/glass effect here: ruclips.net/video/1uhc4wEpMtA/видео.html
My path to twitch domination continues thanks to you xoxoxox
Let’s go!!!!
May i ask , how were you able to add the white line under the chat bar? I really like it but haven't been able to figure i tout. Thanks!!
Thank you and MrBoost!
This was incredibly helpful, thank you!
this looks sick! tysm for posting a tutorial ^_^
You’re welcome ☺️ Enjoy!!
Is there a way to have the text aligned left to right? I'd prefer new messages to move to the right

Is there a way to have that be activity feed instead? And maybe scroll through the last 10 or something?

is it possible to display bttv emotes with this overlay?
Hi, for some reason the option (show nick name color as on twitch) let's all people nick names appear white, any idea how to fix this?
Thank you
You're welcome
Let me know what other widgets are your faves!? This is easily mine! 💜
How do I add this element to an overlay I already have made?
Cool AF! Thanks a lot
No worries! Thanks for watching 💜
any chance this can happen in streamlabs?
Nice
Thanks, glad to help 💜

If you disable "show nickname every msg" the timer for disappear stop working
Hey. I would think this is by design as when you use the disappear feature it’s clears the chat, so it would’t be able to link nicknames to the previous message.
How do you get it to stop being in all CAPS?
I think the default Nutty font is an all caps one so toggle this off and pick a different one :)
@@BeckiLea I noticed this, too, but unfortunately when I pick a different font and try to resize, it cuts off the bottom. Any ideas on how to remedy that?
anybody know how to add a custom font?
Im using chrome and this isnt working for me. Opened it up in browser source and it just won't populate, its the top layer

every time someone chats, it makes an "uh oh" sound for every message sent. is there a way to turn it off?
I need to know this too. It's breaking me inside lol.

why does this not work for facebook? and when does this come available for fb?

"you can click the link below"
me: scrolls down and sees 50 links.... WTF
I’ve moved the link back up to the top, sorry it was a mess down there, Mercury updates my links and it pushed the link down below the kit links. Hopefully this is back where it should be and you can find your link now. Appreciate the feedback.
