Here is how to use an alert box on OBS:
To use an alert box on OBS, you typically add it as a widget source from a streaming service linked to your OBS setup.
Integrating an alert box allows your viewers to see on-screen notifications for events like new followers, subscribers, donations, or bits. This makes your stream more interactive and engaging. Based on the provided information, here are the steps to add an Alert Box widget to a specific scene in OBS:
- Select Widgets: Navigate to the Widgets section. This is often found in a left navigation bar or similar panel within the interface where you manage your streaming integrations or sources.
- Find Alert Box: Look for the Alert Box widget within the list of available widgets.
- Add Widget: Underneath the Alert Box widget option, click the + Add button.
Once these steps are completed, the Alert Box widget will be added and appear within the scene you currently have selected in OBS.
Adding to Multiple Scenes
If you want your alert box to appear in more than one scene (for example, both your gameplay scene and your starting soon scene), you need to add it to each scene individually.
- To add the Alert Box to another scene, simply select that specific scene within OBS and then repeat the steps outlined above for adding the widget.
This ensures your viewers see alerts regardless of which scene is currently live on your stream.
Remember that while these steps add the alert box source to OBS, the specific appearance, sounds, and conditions that trigger the alerts are typically configured within the dashboard of the streaming service you are using (like Streamlabs, Streamelements, etc.) before adding it to OBS.
