Custom Twitch channel alerts can help set your channel apart. For bit donations, channels can use special notifications that appear during the broadcast, that can be customized by the streamer. You can bind twitch alerts to appear on stream whenever anything specific occurs, such as a new follower or subscriber, and their visuals and sound effects can both be changed.
To take advantage of Twitch alerts, your channel must be broadcast from a streaming software like OBS. This will give you the ability to display graphics on top of the live stream. Over the last few years there have been a number of third-party services that work directly with OBS to help you get your custom Twitch Alerts on stream.
We’ve highlighted some of the best Twitch Alert services available in 2020:
Guide Overview
StreamLabs is the service most-used by new and experienced streamers for its Twitch alerts due to its ease of use and support for Twitch features like bits. Here’s how to set it up.
Muxy offers a variety of free add-ons for Twitch streamers such as donations, cheers, and of course alerts. After logging into the Muxy website with your Twitch account, follow these steps to create your alerts.
StreamElements differs from most of the other alert solutions by incorporating its alerts into a full Twitch layout overlay which it hosts on its own servers. Users of StreamElements can create full layouts with images and widgets and then link to this remotely hosted overlay in OBS Studio.
All of these features are essentially bundled in together but it is also possible to pick and choose which ones you want to use. Here’s how to set up StreamElements for Twitch alerts only.
To add your customized alerts to your Twitch stream, you’ll need to link to them from within OBS Studio using your unique website URL. Once you have your unique URL, follow these steps.
Your Twitch alerts will now be set up in OBS Studio and ready to be activated during your next stream. If you make any changes to your alerts via StreamLabs, Muxy, or StreamElements, you do not have to update anything on OBS Studio. The changes will take effect automatically.
