Although I know HTML, CSS, and JS, it would be awesome to see a video like this for custom widgets! Especially if we can go over the variables that SE uses and how to reference them.

This man is making Twitch a better place with every video. Thank you for helping us little guys and gals!

[@MarrisaPlays]

Yeah Im happy there are so many people out there giving advice but i notice so so much of it makes top 1%ers type of suggestions which us the other 99% shouldnt follow just yet

[@CodyMerritt]

@@MarrisaPlays very true! Growth strategies and knowing what to prioritize for getting from 0 to 10 average viewers is quite different from 10 to 100 average or from 100 to 500. Contextualizing the advice is so important.

FYI - for youtube streamers, the subscriber notifications are broken and you can’t do custom alerts for different member tiers. Maybe you can use your relationship with them to get some attention to this? It’s been broken for over a month and I’m now switching back to stream labs as a result.

Damn! As an ex graphic designer, and animator, this all makes so much more sense to me than stream labs. Thanks again Harris!

[@Toasty27-q6w]

Alternatively instead of putting everything in to a single overlay, put them in to separate overlays with canvas sizes only big enough to fit the element. Then you can move the browser sources around in OBS and apply filters to them individually (e.g. 3D transform and Move Value/Source filters for animations)

[@Morezplug]

I got a question. My chatbox that I made won't work. Im saving it and everything and it wont work. Is there a "activate element" feature or something?

[@ILIKMOTOWOMEN]

Thank you so much! So many videos have helped me! Today I received a follow while streaming, first follow while live, and NO NOTIFICATION! I did not know how to set it up but now I have it after having to check the dashboard and shout-out to the follower who never received a pop up. Now I’m set and ready for more! Thank you again!

[@alaadx]

You can hire a developer, and make him do all of the alerts in CSS and JS, and that would be a brilliant video 😁 Anything anyone could imagine in an alert box, would be possible when coded.

[@Dyanosis]

I mean... there are limitations, especially when the alert box (or general element) is only so big.

[@O4C209]

I watched this when it came out. Wish I had used it then. Harris Heller is a god. It took me 2 hours to get through this ten minutes, but d**n it!, I FINALLY got the twitch alerts I've wanted for the last 10 months. Thank you! Now I need to make a credits screen to end my stream with to thank Harris.

Just wanna say thanks Harris! This really helps us newbies out or those with no experience. Yea we could watch some other channel, but I honestly prefer Harris or Sam, Alpha Gaming in general just explains things in a way that I can quickly catch on. It's straight forward and to the point and really gets me thinking of how I prefer my setups to look. As a new youtuber, thank you for all you guys do. I plan on hopefully streaming around spring next year, but prepping for it in advance can never be to soon! At least I think...

Harris is the freaking man! I used his Discord provided animated alerts and I get so many compliments and interactions by my viewers. Granted I had to buy a legit streaming rig to have it happen (I was on a laptop before) but man they’re amazing! I used stream elements to install them instead of using a file to save on CPU/GPU load and have them as a browser source via SE

[@JDA_Musicc]

Did you notice the "a" behind him. Rgb a ❤️

[@CybaGirl]

As always thank you so very much Harris you just helped with getting my Alerts working in StreamElements as I have just switched from Streamlabs so StreamElements is a little different. But I am getting there creating my own template. In case anyone is wondering? The issue I had my Alerts where not being shown in OBS Studio when I clicked the Emulate button in my StreamElements account in my browser. Turns out the issue was caused by me as I had the canvas of the browser source set to default which was 800 x 600. But after changing this to 1920 x 1080 everything worked and I could see the alerts in OBS Studio. So thanks again as your a real legend :).

Used streamelements when I wanted to have a custom bot. And now recommend everyone that I know to use it.
