Installation Guide

In your downloaded files, open up the standard alert folder.

  1. Click the Alerts Quick Setup link to begin installing these alerts.
  2. If you’d like, choose “Create Widget Theme” and name it something appropriate such as package name. The import link will only override your alert package. This means you can combine these alerts with any other scene collection/widgets you’ve made in Streamlabs. If you want to save your old alerts, it’s highly recommended to do this in a new profile.
  3. Select “Use” for the profile you want to import into.
  4. Navigate to “Alert Box” and copy your unique URL.
  5. Paste this URL as a “Browser Source” in your streaming software.

Once you’ve added this into your streaming software test the alerts to make sure they’re working properly.

IMPORTANT: To align to your webcam properly

The easiest way to align to your webcam is by using a width of 740 and a height of at least 800. The width will match exactly that of the webcam frame used.

There is a custom field option Enable Webcam Spacing that will add the proper height needed for alignment. This means if these two sources are both placed in the top left of a scene, they should align perfectly. We recommend putting the alerts and overlay in their own scene, and then using the add scene as source feature to keep them grouped.

You can also test the alerts multiple times and align by dragging if needed.

Delaying Text-to-Speech

If you’re planning on using text-to-speech you may need to delay them from being read, as there is an intro animation and sounds. To do this, you can change the Alert Text Delay in the Streamlabs base options. If you’re using alert variations (such as re-subs) you will need to  update in the variations as well.

Once you’ve added this into your streaming software, test the widget to make sure they’re working properly.

Custom Alert Options

These options are found in the Custom Fields tab. Use these to customize the look of your alerts.

  • Font Family – The font family used in the alerts. The default is Creepster.
  • Enable Webcam Spacing – Adds spacing at the top that matches the vertical spacing of the webcam. Allows you to more easily align the webcam frame with the alerts.
