This option will disable the users icons.

Hide Coin Purchase

This option will hide coin purchases showing up in the overlay.

Setup

In your streaming software, add a new browser source. You want to use the URL path that’s described in the desktop app.

When you add the source it will be completely transparent, use the “Send Test Overlay Effect” to see what an effect could look like.

All current supported Crowd Control games support this overlay. It has 3 areas for effects to show.

720p Stream

  • Modern Game (16x9) | 1280x720 (use this if you’re unsure)
  • Retro Game (4x3) | 960x720

1080p Stream

  • Modern Game (16x9) | 1920x1080
  • Retro Game (4x3) | 1440x1080

What does it look like?

  • The top right area will show current pending effects that are queued up and ready to go. Things like E-Boss tanks, Refill Life in Mega Man games.
  • The bottom right area will show effects that have an active timmer. They will show a small outline that slowly circles the items graphic so you can see at a glance how much longer they are active for.
  • The bottom left are effects that have been activated and will disappear after a few seconds of showing.

You can also have multiple browser sources or duplicates and crop the 3 different sections. Feel free to experiment and find the best setup for your stream!
