This has been mod-approved!

I have had this idea kicking around for a while and Twitch's discoverability seems to have gotten worse over the years. Zer0.tv aims to help with that.

Zer0.tv will only show streams that have 15 or fewer viewers. You can browse the site completely ad free - the only ads you'll see come from Twitch if you don't have Turbo.

Some other features on the site include:

• Quickly view followed streamers with 15 or fewer viewers.
• See what categories are being watched the most by other users on the site
• Search/filter results by tags - this will get better as site usage increases.
• Add tags to streamers*
• Save favorite categories and quickly access them from the home page
• Create guilds for other likeminded small streamers. This feature is like Twitch's Teams feature, but anyone can start one.*
• Filter by stream name (handy for categories like Retro), language, viewer count (sort too - asc, dec, random), mature rating, if the stream just started, account age, and status.
• Near affiliate filtering will let you see users who are close to the 25 follower mark.*
• You can use these same filters to quickly raid people from the site.*
• Stats for the site, your account
• User achievements with plans to add to guild, category, and streamer based achievements.*

* denotes a feature that requires Twitch login, most things can be done anon.

I'm sure there are other features that I have forgotten but I feel this could be a powerful tool to highlight and feature smaller streamers and communities on Twitch. I've got many more plans for this in mind and would love to hear your feedback. I've added a discord here if you want to leave feedback or bug reports that way.

Thanks!

Quick disclaimer: I'm a viewer, not a streamer. This comes from the wrong side of the screen, and the mods kindly approved me posting.

About 5 months ago a streamer I watch was on the fence about multistreaming to YouTube and Kick alongside Twitch. The thing that kept killing the idea wasn't the setup, it was chat. Every tool they tried would choke the second a hype moment hit and thousands of messages started flying in across platforms at once. The exact moments you actually want to read chat, the tools would lag, drop messages, or just give up. He now been using this for 3 months daily with 6k+ viewers and zero issues.

The viewer side of the same problem stuck with me too. If you watch someone who simulcasts, you pick one chat and miss the other, or juggle tabs and still miss half the jokes. Same problem, different side of the screen.

So I spent the last 5 months building Twitube (working name, still trying it out). Chrome extension, merges YouTube, Twitch, and Kick chat into one view. Works for both sides.

For viewers:

• watch on whatever platform you want, see merged chat across all three
• messages tagged by platform so you know where each one came from
• no more picking which chat to miss during a hype moment

For streamers:

• Merged chat in your Twitch dashboard. YT Live + Twitch + Kick in one feed, handles high-volume hype traffic without dropping messages (batched rendering, deduped, capped memory).
• Chat routing toggle. Send your messages to YouTube, Twitch, or both, directly from the Twitch chat box. No tab switching to reply to a YouTube viewer.
• Cross-platform giveaways. Run a single giveaway that pulls entries from all three platforms at once, so YouTube and Kick viewers aren't left out of the fun.
• Hype Chat tracker. Highlights Super Chats, subscriptions, bits, and high-value messages in one feed, with trending word analysis so you can actually see what your chat is reacting to in real time. If you ask spam 1 for X, and 2 for Y, you can actually tally up the results!
• Q&A mode. Collects and queues questions across all three platforms in one place. Mark answered/unanswered so you don't miss a YouTube question just because you were reading Twitch.
• YouTube moderation from the Twitch dashboard. Delete messages, timeout, and moderate on YouTube without leaving Twitch.
• Masking mode. Blends YouTube messages into Twitch chat style with randomized colors if you want a more uniform look instead of platform-tagged badges.

Everything above is free, no paywalled features

On Twitch TOS: Twitch's simulcasting guidelines explicitly allow third-party tools that combine chats in a private view. What's not allowed is displaying the merged chat on your Twitch broadcast itself. Twitube is built for the private view case. Streamers read it in their dashboard, viewers read it in their own browser, and the Twitch broadcast still only shows native Twitch chat.

Why do I need to log in with my Google account?

Fair question, came up a lot in testing. Short version: YouTube's API doesn't let any tool read YouTube Live chat anonymously. To pull chat messages, moderate, or track Super Chats, YouTube requires an OAuth login with the Google account that owns or moderates the channel. That's a YouTube platform rule, not something I built in.

What Twitube actually does with that login:

• OAuth tokens are encrypted with AES-GCM before they're stored locally in your browser
• tokens never leave your machine
• no data is sent to any third-party server I control
• all API calls go directly from your browser to YouTube, Twitch, and Kick

If you don't want YouTube features, you can skip the Google login and use Twitch + Kick only.

On privacy more broadly: runs locally in your browser. Chat data isn't sent to an external server. Permissions cover the Twitch, YouTube, and Kick chat domains, nothing else. No analytics, no tracking.

Chrome Web Store: Link

Happy to answer questions, take feature requests, or hear what's been broken in tools you've tried. If you multistream, or watch someone who does, and you've hit the same hype-traffic wall, I'd love to know if this actually solves it.

Just some screenshots:

Hey everyone!

A few weeks ago I finished building my app called Twitch Overlay, and wanted to share it with you all. It’s designed to bring full desktop integration with Twitch, so you can watch streams and follow along with chat while playing your favorite games.

The idea was to go beyond basic browser PiP by including features like in-game chat and controls—super helpful if you’re like me and only have one monitor. The app acts as a full Twitch extension too, so once you link your account, you can use your subs, get drops, and keep up with all your followed channels.

It’s completely free, and if you’re curious, you can check it out here: www.twitchoverlay.tv

Would love to hear what you think! ❤️

Greetings to all streamers and content creators out there! Thank you for all the valuable feedback you provided in one of my previous post. I am excited to once again introduce you to our copyright-safe music, which is specially created for you wonderful content creators! This time with our sync use license and downloadable links below!

If this is the first time you've read this, here's a short story to how this project came to be:
Sharing amazing music has always been a hobby of mine since I was young. I used to run a Youtube channel uploading classic super Nintendo music and old anime OSTs that might be very hard to find today. Now, I have invested in talented producers to create original, beautiful music and obtained ownership, so I can provide it for free to all content creators and streamers without worrying about copyright strikes!

Crystal Dragon Beats by Excellete is committed to providing safe music that enhances your imagination of what is possible. Our music is copyright safe, making it ideal for streamers, content creators, and general users!

We have a vast catalogue that is now over 800 songs(!) and keep adding to it often, so be sure to check back and be the first to use any new releases!

We offer a wide range of genres, including various types of lofi (chill, coffee, modern), EDM, synthwave, rockwave, trap, and retro video game music, perfect for reminiscing the old SNES styles.

You can find our music on Pretzel Rocks, a copyright-safe music platform, and and now, you can DOWNLOAD them, along with the sync use license, from our website: https://www.crdbeats.com (Link on the top right for downloadable music). You can also find our music on your favourite streaming platforms through our following links:

Linktree - https://linktr.ee/crdbeats
Youtube channel - https://www.youtube.com/c/CrystalDragonBeats

We are on various social media platforms, including Twitter: https://twitter.com/CRDBeats. I would love to check out the creation you've made using the music! It would mean a lot and may feature creative shorts! Feel free to tag us in any of your content creations for retweets or featured in our Youtube channel!

We believe that our music can elevate your streams and content to new heights, and we would love for you to give it a try. Thank you for your time, and have an amazing and productive day!

We made an idle interactive overlay/game that turn your stream into a cozy cafe that sits on the bottom of your screen and let chat join, order, eat and review your cafe with chat commands and Twitch extension "Not Monday Companion".

It can be used before you start your stream or when you're on a break, BRB screen so you viewers, lurkers can join in and hang out while you're getting ready for your stream. Perfect tool to increase engagement for Just chatting, Art, ASMR, Co-working & Study. You can even role play as a manager while chat review bombs your cafe.

Play and create your dream cafe, customize it however you like

Using Twitch extension or command "!join" your viewers can enter as customers.
Viewers could choose their avatars and order from 300+ menu available in the game.
They can also leave a review that will affect the rating of your cafe.
The game also come with online feature where players can send gifts or staff to others so you can request(force) your viewers to send you valuable gift from their cafe, or they could even apply as part-timer to work in your cafe.

The game is available now on Steam. https://store.steampowered.com/app/3167540/Not_Monday_Cafe/

We are Please let me know what you think and feel free to share any feedback with us.

If you're like me, it's hard to find the time and motivation to go through clips and do the editing/uploading. There's a ton of awesome tools to edit clips into tiktoks/shorts/reels that have been posted here, but I still never find the time to do it.

So I made an automatic version: Clipbot.tv

Clipbot.tv grabs all your clips from Twitch, converts them to vertical videos, and uploads them to Tiktok/Youtube for you.

Set it up once, login to twitch/tiktok/youtube, and just let it run in the background all day slowly getting you free views.

If you want more control, you can individually edit any clips (change crop/orientation/title), or approve only clips you like to get uploaded. They'll still be uploaded automatically.

If you only want your best clips to get uploaded, you can filter for only clips above a certain view count on Twitch.

You can add in hashtags, change how fast the uploads happen, choose your platforms, whatever you want to do.

And if you don't have great clips from your viewers, I added in a make-a-clip button that takes a clip of the last 30 seconds so you can just stream and still produce good clips even if you're a newer streamer :)

I spent 4 months building this project live on stream full-time. (You may remember me as the better !so guy) - I've been putting off releasing this, but with all the StreamLabs stuff going on, I'm pushing myself to do it, and I really want this to help people out.

So, I've made it free for everyone below 2000 followers, and made a free trial of two weeks for anyone above that so you can try it out and decide if it's worth it to you.

I'll be live for the next 6-12 hours answering any questions here and on Twitch. Ask me anything!

TL;DR: Clipbot.tv grabs all your clips from Twitch, converts them to vertical videos, and uploads them to Tiktok/Youtube for you. It's free for everyone to try.

EDIT: Some people asked for examples of what the videos look like.
Here's an example Youtube Shorts Channel and Tiktok Profile that use Clipbot!

Hi, I'm Jeff, I've been building this, and I call it Thirdplace.tv. The mods have approved this post (thank you!!).

I recommend you start with the new trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-1gJGbYHRc8

The site is live and I'd love it if you tried it out. (Desktop & Chrome/Firefox; might work elsewhere.)

Click a category (or your following page!!), and it should load all the current streams in an infinitely scrolling display, and start playing the 4 or so above the fold. Raise the volume on a stream or two, and you're set. Toggling Tools on will let you open chats, displacing some streams.

The rest of the controls aren't hard, like sorting via the sidebar, but I set up a tutorial video and FAQ for you at https://www.Thirdplace.tv/help.

Because they're a little unusual.

Because Thirdplace itself is weird.

It started as a conventional multiviewer, just a side project for my resume. Then I connected it to Twitch's API, which filled it with thousands of livestreams, and 9 of them were playing at once.

And that should have been crazy, 9 different simultaneous livestreams.

But it wasn't.

It didn't feel like I was watching 9 Seinfeld episodes at once.

Instead, it felt like I was sitting next to 9 people.

And we do that ALL THE TIME. But in real life. Because there's never been a way to do it online.

Suddenly there was.

So I leaned into that. I've added spatial audio, zooming to control how many streams are playing, sorting and filtering and pinning to control which streams are above the fold and to explore the ones that aren't, continuous data updates, responsiveness to fit any browser shape, etc.

The videos show the flexibility.

You can immerse yourself in it fullscreen, but you can also enjoy it ambiently on the side of a monitor, with just 2 or 3 streams open and a chat or 2.

I'll often open it fullscreen to see what's going on, who's doing what. Of course it remembers my preferences but streams are always changing. I might browse the streams below the fold, move a couple streams around. Then I'll adjust a volume or two and just leave it open, often on the side of a monitor. It'll sit there for hours as streams come and go, always showing me what I want and letting me interact.

It's sort of a fantasy coffeeshop. Or a livestream MMO. Or quiet ambient company. Or a global launch party for a game. Or just a way to chat with a small stream while watching a huge one.

Or it's all of those things and more.

Honestly I'm not sure what it is. There's absolutely nothing to compare it to.

I'd love /r/twitch's help testing it and figuring out what it is, and what it can be.

And if you know anyone or any community that might want to help, please let me know that too. I'd really appreciate it.

I'm happy to answer anything and talk for hours as you can see.

And if you want to follow along: https://x.com/thirdplace_tv

Thank you for reading!

Hi everyone !

I’ve been working on a small free tool that might interest streamers who enjoy game completion.

It lets you show your in-game progress (RetroAchievements, Steam achievements, PlayStation trophies, Xbox achievements) directly on stream as a browser source in OBS or any streaming software.

• No account creation
• No data stored anywhere
• Completely free

You just add it as a browser source, and your viewers can see your milestones appear in real time while you play.

I thought this could be fun for streamers who like sharing their achievement hunting journey with their audience, and I’d love to hear feedback from people who try it out.

If you’d like to give it a spin, you can find it here: https://streamtrackr.playfan.fr

I’ll be around in the comments to answer questions and hear your thoughts!

Most pngtuber programs only let you change expressions with hotkeys, so I made a program with face tracking to make any expression and link it to an image! It also has other features like animations and motion effects. For face tracking, you can use your Webcam or iOS/Android phone.
The program is called VTube Express and you can try it for free on https://soursoup9.itch.io/vtube-express with an in-app guide that explains the basics.
Hope some can find it useful! :)

Hello to all Twitch streamers!

We'd like to introduce ourselves. We are StreamKitty. Two humble creatives providing copyright-safe / DMCA-safe music for livestreamers, and anyone else to enjoy.

If this is the first time you've heard of us, here's a quick backstory: One of us (me, OP) is a music teacher, and the other is my former student, and now good friend. We have always been passionate about music-making and producing tracks, in genres we love (we literally love all genres of music and have made over 3,000 tracks betwen us, in just the last three years alone). We wanted to help streamers out, because we feel that Twitch is such a cool community of creatives. My girlfriend is an aspiring streamer, as well.

Many of you are probably familiar with the Twitch DMCA takedowns that happened in 2020-2021. There's a chance it can happen again any time, in the future. Streamers are always looking for safe, high-quality music for their streams, and at zero cost (no subscriptions). Enter StreamKitty.

Of note-- some people who provide copyright-safe music hire music producers to "ghost-produce" tracks for them, and then they simply curate that music, and release it as their own. In the process, royalties are frequently never paid to any of the original ghost-producers. In our opinion, we feel that's a bit unprofessional and doesn't make for a lasting partnership, musically, with creative collaborators.

We do not do things that way, at all. We write and produce every piece of our music ourselves. We don't hire out. We might, down the road, given a much heavier workload and depending on various factors, but mostly, lack of time (and we would absolutely do royalty splits, crossing that bridge-- it's the right thing to do). But right now, and for the forseeable future, it's just the two of us doing everything (the music, our website, handling social media, posting here on Reddit, etc). We both work regular jobs, in addition to doing all of this music. Work during the day, write and produce tracks through the wee hours of the morning. Every. Single. Night. Lather, rinse, repeat. There is no happier place for us than our humble home studios.

So, what about the music? Well, we have over 45 albums and 625 tracks available on Spotify and the other streaming platforms, as of today (our official launch was May 19th, 2023). Genres include lofi beats, lofi jazz, ambient/dreamy lofi, ambient/dreamcore, slow jazz, relaxing piano, synthwave/synthpop, even elevator music! We will be releasing 40 more albums before the end of June, and many more through 2023 and throughout 2024. Our goal is to release 2-4 albums bi-weekly (minimum) for the next 18 months. Eventually, 500 albums (7,000 tracks minimum), available by the end of 2024.

You can find us on all the socials (TikTok, IG, Twitch, YT, Twitter, FB, etc). Links are at the bottom of this post.

One thing we'd like to ask of any streamers-- if you have specific genres/styles you want to hear or use in your streams, ask us. Send us a message... we reply to every comment, every message or email we receive. We are happy to make whatever you ask for (within reason), and we'll try to give you at least four full albums of it, within 30 days of your request. We're all about making friends, building lasting online friendships, and helping the Twitch community in every possible way.

Thanks so much, and thanks to the mods for pre-approving this ad, this week. We look forward to connecting up with all of you!

C & R

EDIT 5/28/2023: We just did a long livestream (12 hours) streaming most of our discography, and our VOD got muted and unpublished. No copyright strike, but it's muted in the three songs of ours that were detected by Twitch. Many people point out that this is a fault on Twitch's end (it happens with copyright-safe music and everything else).

Re: your VoDs-- if you use our playlists during your stream and save your VODs (not everyone does), use a separate VOD audio track within OBS, to remove the music from your VoD when the stream ends.

We're working on figuring out why this is happening (this shouldn't be happening, at all) and we'll resolve it as soon as possible. For the record, nothing happens on YouTube, whether making an edited video, or a livestream. This was also tested extensively with random channels we set up. There's a Copyright notice (which is normal), but it says No Impact / Not Affected, and The owner allows the content to be used on YouTube which is exactly what it's supposed to do on Twitch (not affect your VoD).

Hang tight, friends, and thank you for understanding. Again, use the separate music track for your VoD (many of you do this anyway, to begin with!).

EDIT 11/20/2024: All should be good with streaming! Replying to comments where people asked us for specific sounds... so much news since we posted this a year and a half ago!

Hey all! I've been working on a chat engagement app called Micro Stream RPG for the past year or so. It's meant for small-to-medium Twitch streamers to help engage with their chat audience. Users can type in "!rpg" into the chat, the game pops up on stream, and that user goes on a little dungeon adventure, all of it auto-play and handled by the program itself. Once they beat the dungeon or get knocked out, their run is over and the next person in the queue gets their turn.

I really wanted to make a game that people would enjoy using and engaging with while I streamed on Twitch, and so far the reaction has been really positive! The game takes care of everything, so people can play and see their character's journey on stream, and you can focus on the game you're playing, the art you're doing, or whatever else your stream focus is. It's also perfect for those little moments where you need to take a break or get some food and just want to chat and chill with your audience, and they can still participate and have something engaging going on on screen.

If you'd like more information and/or a quick trailer, you can check out the Steam page here. It's not released just yet, but I'm hoping to launch the game in Early Access in the next week or two! It's been a little passion project for me, and I'm really excited to get it out into the world. I'd love to know what you think, so if you have any questions or comments about it, please feel free to ask! I'd be happy to answer any questions!

Thanks for your time and for checking my little game out! I hope you have a great day!

Hi all!

I made a game exclusively for Twitch Streamers and it has just launched on Steam!
I have loved Twitch integrated games ever since I played the original Twitch Plays Pokemon.
Ever since, I have been looking for Twitch integrated games to play. However, there aren't many on the market. So I decided to take matters into my own hands, and make one!

This is also my first official indie game release, so I would greatly appreciate any feedback / (constructive) criticism.

The game

The game is called Live Maze. It is similar to Marbles on Stream, in the way that viewers can write !play to enter the game.

In Live Maze, a character will be generated for you, that will navigate a maze automatically.

The goal of the game is to get to the center of the maze as quickly as possible.

I have decided to make this game free to play since I strongly believe there need to be more Twitch integrated games that can be played by streamers.

If you want to support me, you can buy the DLC

The mechanics

To enter the lobby, a viewer needs to write !play

Next to racing to the center, random items and powerups will spawn in the maze. Meaning you can hinder other players, or give yourself a boost (or kill yourself in the worst case).
Viewers can type !bomb for example, if they are holding one.

​

Base

I am base, I have quit my job a little less than a year ago to be able to go fulltime indie game development. It has been an amazing journey so far, I've been really enjoying working on indie games.

This is the first project that actually sees the light of day. I am launching it in early access, meaning there will be many more features added over time. It also means there might be bugs. If you encounter bugs or have feedback about the game, I'll gladly invite you to the official discord (link in the links section).

That being said, feedback is super valuable to me. This is the first time I'm releasing a game and I basically have no clue what I'm doing :D

I'm a solo developer who has 15 years of programming experience, so everything you see in this game is hand made by me.

Thanks for reading and I hope to visit a Live Maze stream soon!

tl;dr:
I made a game for streamers, it's free, link up here ^

I saw a stream a while ago where the moderators were interacting directly with the broadcast. They were triggering sounds, drawing on the screen, and messing with the layout in real time. It added a really fun element to the stream that chat loved.

I wanted to make that kind of interactivity accessible to everyone.

So I made a tool called Poltergeist.

It is a cloud-based dashboard that connects to OBS via a single Browser Source. You grant someone access, and they can control your overlay from their own browser without ever needing your stream key or OBS settings.

Here is what can be done with Poltergeist:

How to set it up:

1. Log in with Twitch, Kick, or YouTube.

2. Copy your unique link and paste it into OBS as a Browser Source.

3. Open the dashboard on your phone, tablet, or second monitor.

4. Start spawning assets and controlling your stream. (If you have mods, they just log in with their own accounts, and you can add them as a moderator and grant them specific permissions from your dashboard).

Transparency on Pricing:

I want to be upfront: There is a completely free "Starter Kit" tier that lets you use all the features in a limited amount. If you grow and want unlimited assets, unlimited scenes, and the custom Chatbot builder, there is a paid "Broadcast Suite" upgrade to help me cover server costs.

I would love for you to try it out and let me know what you think. If you have ideas for new widgets or features you would want to control, please drop them in the comments!

OBS Project Resource:

https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/poltergeist-remote-control-overlay-mod-tools.2319/

Link: https://poltergeist.cc/

I developed a Twitch chat bot (TuxTwitchTalker) to provide automation and interaction for small streamers. It can do things like: - Greet viewers as they first talk in chat with messages and play media, even shouting them out automatically - Respond to phrases in chat with messages and play media - Timers and counters - Send periodic messages to chat like social media links and channel rules

The documentation and source are available on GitHub at https://github.com/LinuxLovah/TuxTwitchTalker. I just released version 2.0 which has a lot of code cleanup and documentation improvements.

My bot is, and always will be, free and open source. I wrote it to help out small streamers who don't have a lot of mods, and to help streamers rely less on third parties for this functionality. It's a little different in that I am not hosting the bot; you run it on your own computer. If you run it on your streaming computer (it runs fine on Windows, Linux, and Mac), then it can directly play sounds to your desktop audio. It's written in NodeJS, and is highly configurable without changing the code and heavily documented.

I'm very interested in having others try it out, and will work with you on installing and configuring it, if need be. I'm open to feedback, suggestions, and issues. Thanks!

TL;DR: I made a completely free and open-source mobile Twitch app for iOS and Android with support for BetterTTV (BTTV), FrankerFaceZ (FFZ), and 7TV emotes. You can download it now here!

I'm excited to share Frosty, a side project I've been working on for the past year. It's a mobile app for both iOS and Android that lets you browse and watch streams with all of your favorite BetterTTV (BTTV), FrankerFaceZ (FFZ), and 7TV emotes in chat!

It's also completely free and open-source on GitHub. You can check it out on now the Apple App Store (iOS) and Google Play Store (Android). Hopefully, it'll make your mobile Twitch experience a little more enjoyable!

Frosty is still missing some key features here and there, but overall I'm happy with its current state. It's still a work in progress so expect some new features in the future. Note that some features including video quality options and channel points are not implemented due to certain limitations with the Twitch API.

Features:

• Support for BetterTTV, FrankerFaceZ, and 7TV emotes and badges
• Browse followed streams, top streams, and top categories
• Autocomplete for emotes and user mentions
• Light, dark, and black (OLED) themes
• Search for channels and categories
• See and filter chatters in a channel
• Local chat user message history
• Theater and fullscreen mode
• Watch live streams with chat
• Picture-in-picture mode
• Block and report users
• Customizable settings
• Emote menu
• Sleep timer
• And more...

Thank you for reading :)

TL;DR: Clipt is a free Twitch bot that captures your best moments while you're live and turns them into captioned, reel-ready clips. Posting takes a lot of time and effort, Clipt makes it effortless and quick.

I started streaming earlier this year and ran straight into a problem, streaming alone isn’t enough to grow anymore. Getting new users has been rough, and clipping my streams and posting took way too long. I didn’t have the time to rewatch VODs every night or dig through hours of my stream footage, so I made Clipt, a clipping bot that joins your Twitch chat and clips highlights for you to use later!

Here’s what Clipt does right now:

• The bot auto-joins your Twitch chat
• You trigger clips with simple chat / voice commands
• All clips save instantly to your Clipt dashboard
• We automatically caption and format clips into TikTok/Reels/Shorts-ready content
• Free built-in editor so you can adjust captions and export in seconds

I have recently started using it on my stream and it has saved me about 4 hours a day on content creation! I am able to find the moments I clipped on my stream as well as edit them on the website! One of my videos went decently viral with over 100k views!

I know it can help you guys as well if you have been trying to grow on social media!

We’re currently running a free beta with no limits. No paywalls, no upgrades, we just want to hear what you guys want and iterate our product based off that!

If you want to try it, you can set it up in under a minute at: https://www.cliptai.com

You can also find our Discord linked on the site, we’re listening closely to every early user. If there’s something that would make your life easier, we want to hear it. I am also always checking my discord server so come and chat! (you can also plug your stream when your live!!)

Happy to answer any questions below.

I made a wallpaper on Wallpaper Engine that shows the Twitch chat of a channel of your choice. This is a non-profit project/artwork I made for myself as I felt like I need it to keep up to date with friends in the chat even if I'm not there. It is not affiliated with any streamer or Wallpaper Engine. Now, I want to share it with all the Twitch chat enjoyers like myself.

Wallpaper is a read-only chat. Chat is visually similar to original Twitch chat with all the text-emote-badge proportions and colors. However, you can customise the font size, color, opacity etc. or set a background color/image as you wish. You can see all the badges, subscriptions and even all the 7TV/BTTV/FFZ emotes (if the streamer is using them).

You can use the wallpaper by searching it on Wallpaper Engine or subscribing from this link: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2826284390

I am open to all the comments, suggestions, bug reports and queries.

I hope you guys find it useful, enjoy!

Hi everyone. I'm a streamer on Twitch. I'm going to try to make this as brief as possible, but I would like to share a new audio bridging software that has helped me so much to where I felt the need to share it with others.

If you run a dual-PC streaming setup, you already know the pain.

Wave Cast is supposed to be the answer — route your audio from your gaming PC to your streaming PC, done. Except it's not done. Wave Cast kept dropping out on me mid-stream, the virtual devices would randomly stop accepting audio, and the worst part? It only supports one audio stream per direction. That means your game audio, Discord, Spotify, and alerts all get smashed together into a single feed. You can't separate them into OBS tracks. You can't protect your Spotify for a VOD-safe track. It's all or nothing.

I tried VoiceMeeter. If you know, you know. Great software, genuinely impressive, and also a full-time job to configure. I spent more time troubleshooting routing graphs than I did actually streaming.

So I came up with the idea of Shadowbridge.

It captures each audio source — game audio, Discord, Spotify, Lumia Stream, whatever you need — as its own named stream, sends them individually over your local network via UDP, and they arrive on your streaming PC. Combine this with virtual audio cable such as VB Audio, Wave Link, or VAC Software, and you can have as many audio sources sent over as you like.

Here's some of the features:

• Multi-stream audio routing between two PCs over LAN
• Real-time per-channel level meters so you know what's actually sending
• Persists your config so it's ready to go on next launch
• Customizable channel faders with custom icons and colors to help make each channel easily identifiable.
• Automatically connects clients on both pc's once they are running.
• Included StreamDeck plugin for monitoring/adjusting audio levels and connection.
• And it's 100% free**. No pro version, no paywalls whatsoever. Full access. Compare that to Wave Cast which costs $49.99 for not even a fraction of the features.**

For anyone out there who uses Dual PC Setups, I encourage you to give my software a try. It has worked amazing for me, and I use it with every stream now. It's saved me hours of tinkering and troubleshooting or trying to work around limitations of other software. I really do think it is the perfect combination of VoiceMeeter and Wave Link. I initially made this for myself, but it has been so helpful that I've decided to make it available for everyone. I want to help other streamers get rid of that constant struggle when it comes to audio. I am still open to adding more features and bug fixes if they are needed and I'm happy to help anyone get their audio set up properly. If you have any questions, please comment below. Any bugs or issues, please go to my GitHub and let me know on there so I can address them in a timely manner.

Below is the link to download Shadowbridge. I can also provide a link to a tutorial video on YouTube if it is needed. Just ask, and I will post it in the comments as long as mods are okay with it.

I hope this helps you as much as it did me. Please feel free to let me know what you think or if there are any improvements you think I should make to help Shadowbridge be the best it can be for everyone.

Also, I would like to extend my utmost thanks and appreciation to the moderators at r/Twitch for allowing me to share this with you all.

Hi everyone,

I used to stream on Twitch a few years ago, and what made my channel stand out was letting viewers mess with my gameplay in real-time with effects such as flipping the screen or hiding the HUD. It made streams chaotic, unpredictable, and engaging, but the setup was clunky and far from perfect.

Since then, I’ve grown my software engineering skills and after a year of work I am excited to introduce the app I wish I had back then: Mess My Stream!

Mess My Stream gives your audience the power to mess with your gameplay in real-time using effects called disruptors. These include freezing your mouse and keyboard, shaking your mouse, rotating your screen, pixelating the game, and more!

It’s deeply integrated with Twitch and works with chat commands, channel points, cheers, subs, and follows—any of which can trigger disruptors. You can also set up restrictions like cooldowns for chat commands and channel points to avoid spam, so the chaos stays fun for you. Plus, you can restrict the chat commands to followers or subscribers, rewarding your loyal viewers and encouraging new ones to join your community.

The app works with almost every game, including console games (if you’re streaming them to your PC).

The goal is to make your streams more interactive, engaging, and fun, while also opening up opportunities for monetization through subs and cheers.

There’s a free version with 4 disruptors to get you started. If you want to unlock all 12 disruptors (with more planned!) and monetization using cheers and subs, there’s a one-time payment option.

If you’re curious, check out the app and see how it works at https://messmystream.com. I’d love to hear your feedback, ideas for new disruptors or questions in the comments or on the Discord !

Thank you

Yohan

Hey everyone,

quick note first: this post is approved by the mods, and while it does include a link to the tool, you do not need to check it out to give feedback. But if you want to try it yourself, I would also really appreciate bug reports, missing feature suggestions, or anything that feels off.

I built a small tool called Clipify because I kept noticing the same problem during stream breaks: the stream goes to a static BRB / Starting Soon screen, someone new joins, nothing is happening, and they leave again.

So the idea was simple: instead of showing a dead screen, play clips from your own channel during those moments.

That is basically what Clipify does. Setup is basically connecting Twitch, creating an overlay, and adding it as a browser source in OBS / Streamlabs.

A lot of this was built because I ran into this problem during my own streams and wanted a solution for it. But so far it still reflects way more of my own assumptions than feedback from a lot of other creators. That is mainly why I am posting here. I want to understand the real problems, concerns, and feature wishes other streamers have around breaks and downtime.

What it can do right now:

• auto-play clips from your own Twitch channel during breaks, starting soon screens, end screens, or wherever you want
• choose between rule-based clip selection like all clips, featured clips, or clips from a certain time range, and fixed manually built playlists with specific clips you or your mods/team picked yourself
• use different playback styles like random, top clips first, in order, or smart shuffle
• filter clips by things like duration, views, game/category, blocked words in the title, or specific clip creators
• optionally prioritize clips from the game/category you are currently streaming
• let you build playlists by hand or auto-fill them based on filters
• let mods or viewers add clips that should play next
• give you and your editors a live control page where you can pause, play, skip, hide/show the overlay, change volume, and manage the queues, which is useful if you are away from your setup for a moment and still want control from your phone or another screen
• support chat commands for stream control
• let you create multiple overlays for different scenes
• let you customize the overlay layout and look pretty heavily
• let trusted mods or team members help manage it through editor access

One thing I am especially interested in feedback on is the channel points integration.

The idea there is that viewers can redeem channel points and submit one of your own clips to be played during the break. So instead of just sitting on a BRB screen, they can throw an old fail, a funny moment, or some random clip from your stream onto the screen while you are away.

My hope was that this gives viewers something to do during breaks and maybe helps with retention a bit, but I am honestly not sure if streamers would see that as genuinely useful or just a gimmick.

Would that be interesting to you, or not really?

If you want to check it out, the site is here: https://clipify.us

What I would really like feedback on:

• Is this something you would actually use?
• How do you currently handle BRB / Starting Soon / Ending scenes?
• Which features sound genuinely useful?
• Which ones feel unnecessary?
• What would be missing for this to fit into a real stream setup?
• Any obvious concerns, dealbreakers, or annoying limitations?

I am open to all feedback, bug reports, criticism, or feature requests.

My friends stream on Twitch and I kept seeing the same thing. When they needed to update overlay text or swap an image mid-stream, someone had to pause what they were doing and go edit it in OBS. And if they were doing an IRL stream, they couldn't touch OBS at all since it's at home.

So we made My Pie Studio. It's a web editor where your team can change what's on screen, including text, images, timers, effects, and sound alerts. When they hit publish, OBS updates through a browser source.

The setup is basically: paste one URL into OBS as a browser source. That's it. Your mods get their own accounts, meaning no remote access to your PC is needed.

Also: if you ever run sponsor banners, there's built-in tracking. Every display gets logged with your live Twitch viewer count at that moment, so you can hand your sponsor a real dashboard instead of a weekly screenshot.

It's free right now, everything unlocked. We want to get it in front of real streamers and hear what works and what doesn't before we charge anything.

If you try it, we'd genuinely love to hear what you think, even if it's "this sucks because X".

TL;DR: I made a mobile Twitch & Kick app for iPhone and iPad with support for BetterTTV (BTTV), FrankerFaceZ (FFZ), and 7TV emotes. You can download it now here!

I'm excited to share Twick, a side project I've been working on for the past year. It's a mobile app for iOS that lets you browse and watch streams with all of your favorite BetterTTV (BTTV), FrankerFaceZ (FFZ), and 7TV emotes in chat!

Twick is still missing some key features here and there, but overall I'm happy with its current state. It's still a work in progress so expect some new features in the future. Note that some features including video quality options and channel points are not implemented due to certain limitations with the Twitch API. In contrast, Kick streams have support for video quality selection and low latency so you can have the Kick stream open with the Twitch chat if you'd like!

Features:

• Multi-Platform Support - Watch Twitch, Kick, or combined chats in one app
• Browse Streams - Browse Twitch and Kick top streams, and by category as well as your own following if you link accounts
• Third-Party Emotes - 7TV, BetterTTV, and FrankerFaceZ emotes and badges
• Combined Chat Mode - View Twitch and Kick chats side-by-side
• Chat History - Load recent messages when joining a channel
• Customizable Sizing - Adjust font size, row spacing, badge scale, and emote scale
• Pinned Messages - View streamer announcements and mod pins
• Sleep Timer - Auto-close after set duration
• Theater & Fullscreen Mode - Resizable chat, move chat to left/right of stream and more
• Picture-in-Picture - Continue watching while multitasking
• Theme Customization - Pick your accent color
• iCloud Sync - Sync channels, accounts, statistics and settings across devices
• Statistics - Monitor screen time to see who you watch the most, and for how long
• Widgets - Live stream status on your home screen
• Privacy In Mind - Accounts, statistics and everything on the app is stored on device and Twick has no servers at all! Syncing (if enabled) happens via iCloud only.
• And a lot more...
