Alerts for follows, subs and more

Show a message (and play a sound) when someone follows, subs, cheers or raids.

The alert box (Sources › + › Alert box) is the easy way. Put it in your scenes and sign in with Twitch (Settings › Stream): follows, subs, resubs, gifted subs, cheers, raids, the Hype Train and (if you turn it on) channel points each pop up in turn, with a sound in your stream.

In its properties, each kind has its own text ({user}, {amount}, {reward}), a minimum (cheers under 100 bits, say), a sound (Chime, Coin, Fanfare, Pop, your own file, or none) and an optional picture (animated GIFs, WebPs and PNGs play). Test shows one straight away. The look (font, colours, card, entrance, how long) and the sound's volume apply to all of them; its sound is a channel in the mixer.

It plays while it's in the live scene; alerts that come in meanwhile wait their turn.

Your own: the alert wizard makes a text that says "Thanks {user} for the follow!" and shows it for a few seconds (built from Controls, so you can add anything else: a scene switch, a sound, MIDI). Hype Trains have triggers too (it starts, levels up, ends), and a goal source can show the train's progress.

From a service: add your StreamElements or Streamlabs alert box as a web overlay.
