First run
- Step 1
Turn on Broadcast Chat and select the connected platforms whose messages you want to show.
- Step 2
In Appearance, select your style, avatars, and platform designation. Choose the colors and opacity of the speech bubbles.
- Step 3
Set the number of visible messages and deletion after time or when the next one arrives.
- Step 4
Test a sequence of several messages, save the look, and add the source to your streaming program.
Broadcast example
At the limit of five messages, the sixth one appears. The oldest one uses its own exit animation and the others move in its place. You can set entry or sharing events separately from the multichat window.
Action and possibilities
Platforms and content
Select platforms visible in the overlay, hiding commands and how to mark the source: logo or name. You can set separate backgrounds and transparency for platforms.
Avatars and typography
Choose no avatar, circle, square, star or other available variant. Choose the size, font of the nickname and message, spacing and width of the bubbles. Avatars depend on data provided by the platform.
Visible messages and animations
The limit determines the number of entries maintained. It may disappear after a certain period of time or when the next message appears. The exit animation concerns the deleted entry, and the remaining entries smoothly take their previous positions.
Emoji and moderation
Chat supports available platform emojis, supporter emojis, and enabled Twitch and Kick add-ons. Deleting a message or blocking a viewer may replace the visible post with moderation information.
Chat events
Joins, shares, follows, and other events have separate toggles. Overlay event settings are separated from multichat. The built-in voice can be routed to the chat source.
Program window and phone
Multichat PC is a separate window with news, gifts, support and statistics. Allows you to change transparency, space allocation and pinning above windows if the system allows it. The phone has its own preview and quick stop of the alert and TTS.
