Adding Chat Overlay for Live Streams - OBS Studio (2023)

[@M1STEY]

Does this work on youtube too?

[@CarderIsHere]

Thank you so much! I had been struggling with this for like 4 hours straight and this was the ONE tutorial that finally worked and didn't make a weird echo on my stream! My streams are now saved, thank you GenX Tech!

[@GenXTech]

Glad I was able to help :)

[@ahlexjr10]

Perfect video man thank you!!

[@GenXTech]

Youre welcome :)

[@rondubz4668]

Great video GenX! Very easy to understand!

[@GenXTech]

thanks for the kind words!

[@nosweatsports]

Excellent breakdown. Does this apply for the TikTok live chat as well? I can’t get the my TikTok chat messages to show up in OBS

[@GenXTech]

Ive honestly never tried this on TikTok. Thanks for the kind words, though

[@abijacob02]

Does this method work with KZbin live?

[@GenXTech]

It should. Just log into streamlabs with your youtube account instead of twitch :)

[@AlexNXXL]

Bro ur a legend! I just started live streaming and i really wanted to pot chat overlay.

[@GenXTech]

Glad I could help, theres a lot more videos on my channel for setting up and optimizing your live streams!

[@GenXTech]

Yes.. just log into Streamlabs with KZbin :)

[@illusiontwitch]

I like the video and respect the green screen room

[@GenXTech]

I appreciate the kind words!

[@DerekSpeareDSD]

how do you get the KZbin chat dock that shows up in OBS to stay on top so i see it when playing a full screen game and streaming? I can't get it to stay on top so I can see the chat :/ Can you tell me?

[@GenXTech]

From what Ive read, I cannot find a single moniter method that works with youtube. Let me know if you find one.

[@DerekSpeareDSD]

@@GenXTech thank you! yeah, I'm guessing an additional screen is what is needed :/

[@eugenech.2450]

Thanks!

[@GenXTech]

Youre welcome

[@Soul_Well]

Thanks for helping

[@GenXTech]

youre welcome

[@xxostepolse64]

i was using youtube for this, and when i typed something on the chat the messages didn't show. is this a common mistake?

[@GenXTech]

Not sure this works for KZbin. Ill test it later.

[@xxostepolse64]

@@GenXTech ok

[@xxostepolse64]

@@GenXTech this worked for me when i did the live stream. but not when i was testing. so at least i got the text to work but it was a bit small :p

[@GenXTech]

@@xxostepolse64 just increase the size :)

much love!

[@WreckingBallers]

Awesome tutorial. Explained everything in a simple way, and the chat webcam overlay technique is a great idea.

[@GenXTech]

Glad I was able to help :)

[@runescape6221]

yours was the best tutorial in a sea of fake

[@GenXTech]

Glad I could help :)

[@farouk2139]

when someone writes a long message it will dissapear from the right edge !!??

[@GenXTech]

Ive never had this problem.

[@sandpiperbirdie]

After watching this tutorial, I was not able to have my overlay. OBS has had a major update recently and this is probably why. I'm on an Alienware Aurora R8 OS Windows 10.

[@GenXTech]

This has been tested and still working with the current OBS update. You must have missed a step. Feel free to join my discord if you need help.

[@jaxontheflash]

@GenX Tech, does this work for youtube

[@tramznation3901]

when i stream the chat doesnt appear

[@GenXTech]

you have done something wrong then.. try again and do NOT skip ahead in the video. if you still need help, you can join my discord. link in description

Hey man, great video. A few comments from a random that doesn't know anything: 1. The transitions are a bit jarring. 2. Also I don't think you need an intro. It makes your video perform less well. Keep up the good work! Enjoy your day/life.
