TRANSCRIPT EXCERPT
Hey everyone, in this video we’re going to discuss what alert system you should use as a new streamer on Twitch. Then, at the end of the video I’ll walk you through how to set up some on screen labels to display your latest stream supporters.
If you’re not familiar with alert or notification systems, they’re applications that allow you to display on screen events, which are generally when someone follows, subscribes to, tips, or hosts your Twitch channel. So in essence, they’re a way to show an on screen ‘thank you’ to the people that are supporting you as a streamer.
We’ll start with Twitch Alerts. This application is probably the most popular one out there - and for one big reason - it’s easy to set up and understand. If I needed to set up a new stream and I could probably do it within 2 minutes, while using Twitch alerts. This application is mostly web based, but like a couple of the other choices that we have, it has a downloadable program that we can run on our computer and use to monitor the alerts from our viewers - the program, called Stream Labels, will also update text files that we can bring into OBS. These text files can be used as a static on screen label of who our recent follower was, and a host of other options.
Let’s move on to another alert system that is quite new - Muxy.IO . This is my personal go-to alert system. I’ve been working with these applications for years now, and was impressed when I first tried out Muxy. Like almost all of the system we’ll talk about, Muxy does feature a dashboard with analytics, easy to set up basic alerts, a downloadable program called the ‘Ticker’ that will provide similar functions as Twitch Alerts. Muxy also makes it easy to set up alerts with Patreon and Gamewisp, as well as integration with Discord. They even allow connections to Twitch Alerts, Stream Tip, and NightBot. If some of these names don’t sound familiar, don’t worry - we’ll talk about them soon.
Another popular option is StreamPro.IO - I actually made a full video about StreamPro - so if you’re interested, check that out to get the details. One thing that has changed since that video, is that StreamPro is now under the same company as Twitch Alerts. This makes a lot of sense to me, as I feel that StreamPro brings a lot to the table in terms of being current.
This app is more than just a notification system. It featuresan easy to use overlay system, to where you can add in different widgets, and customize them to your liking. Once you’re done - you can bring in your design to OBS or any streaming software via the browser source. So in essence, your overlay and alerts system is saved in the cloud. You can also work from pre-built templates which will allow you to get graphics added into your stream within minutes. Notable widgets are their twitter feed, straw poll, and simple to add Twitch chat.
Another new system that I just haven’t had the time to fully experience and review is Gaming For Good. This platform originally began as a way for streamers to raise funds for charities, but has evolved into so much more. From what I’ve seen so far - it’s very quick and responsive, and easy to set up. A really cool part is that you can set a specific percentage of the tips that you earn to go to integrated charities such as Save the Children, or you can set the full amount to go to yourself. It also has a cool UA-cam Jukebox that allows viewers to pay for songs to be played on your stream.
i appreciate you taken the time to bring us new streamers helpful information thank you
is 2016 the time when streamlabs was called "twitch alert"?
Try Strexm, it does all the notications for you with templates, and nice scrolling, and notifications. Works really well, I'd check it out if I were you!
Do you still prefer muxy or your opinion has changed?
Mr. NerdOrDie. Thanks for the amazing collection of tutorial
I have a question:
I did configured a sound/image to my twitchalert but when I try to test it using BrowserSource, the sound comes out but the image does not... Although, if I teste it using the laucher it works...
Any idea why?
Sooooo, I may or may not have (totally did) unchecked the Browser Source button on installation >.> Does this mean I have to uninstall and reinstall everything, or is there a way I can avoid doing this? That aside, these videos have been extremely helpful and I you have my sincerest thanks.
Love the series @NerdOrDie, any chance you might have time to check through and update (even in comments) anything that new streamers should be looking at in 2018?
I'm in the early stages of updated videos :D Hopefully out in the next few weeks!
muxy is te same twitch alerts that streamlabs??
they do the same right
I can't use the Browser Source.I mean, when i try to paste a site it doesn't show me that site in the preview.Also, it's something written in the CSS space "body { background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); margin: 0px auto; overflow: hidden; }", even if i delete it, keeps appearing there everytime i open a new Browsersource
And I remember that I installed the latest version of obs studio including browsersource btw
My Steamlabels doesnt work. I have nothing showing up in my output directory
Muxy isnt working at all for me. The url keeps showing a gif in the corner and wont show the alert.
+Seducier Muxy can be a bit trickier (and sometimes a little less reliable) - but there support is amazing. Hit them up on Twitter or their site and I'm sure they'll be able to help!
where do i download the files for the alerts folder carnt find it can anyone help please
I have a problem
I don't really have a computer yet and I only have a ps4 and an iPad
Not much you can do in terms of alerts until then :(
i guess this program has changed as i cant find an actual app on their site to download
obsproject.com/download
I do not have a BrowserSourcel, how do get it?
+IFireCraft Artem watch this guide ua-cam.com/video/Tn1ELu3k09s/v-deo.html - link to DL page obsproject.com/download
+NerdOrDie Oh crap.. what if i already got everything setup on other version? ;-;
+IFireCraft Artem it should carry over. Maybe screen shot your set up just in case - but I think you'll be fine.
If it's CLR browser, it took me a few tries to get it to apply and get it to work
This series has been so useful to me, I'm definitely going to attempt a livestream on my two year UA-cam channel anniversary!
Awesome - drop a link and I'll try to stop by sometime.
Do you really need obs to have a donation tab or and alert sounds.Bc i stream from my x-box 1 as of this moment through my kinect.
Yeah, you're gonna need to go through OBS or something.
I've been having a problem with twitch alerts and I'm not sure how to fix it. Whenever someone donates, a second donation message will appear at the top of the screen and stay there until OBS is restarted. Does anyone know how to fix this?

How can i get streaming labels using firefox? my pc doesn't work with google chrome for some reason, so i have to use firefox. anything i can do?
I'm a older fella, just starting my Twitch channel.
I have the stream working, using OBS studio,
but installing all the addons, and overlays, makes my brain hurt.
I only have basic functions on the channel, I have no follow, or sub notification added as of now, I'm trying to learn more 1st before i just start adding a bunch of things i don't need,
I want to try and keep the channel clean looking without being too cluttered.
any success??
@@bruhmeme7313 Yeah, was able to get everything i need for the moment, tested a few streams to dial in the bit rate. Seems everything works better setting my monitor, and stream to 1080, instead of trying to do 1440 converted down to 1080.
How about a tutorial about how to use Muxy?
Not a bad idea at all.
Could you do this please?
Question when using steampro. I made an overlay but I'm not sure if I need to install a clr plugin or if I put the url of the overlay into browser source?
help. my obs version have not any browser source, i cant add mya twitch box link , helpp
Hey! I was wondering, can i use muxy alerts while streaming with slobs???
well i dont use chrome, and google is getting rid of chrome apps on win/mac
No 9/11 jokes yet. Don't disappoint me Internet...
^_^ are you planing on making a new version of this video series?
Thanks a lot bro.. Keep goin!
My output directory isn't showing any idea why?
it looks stramlabs but in the Old
These tutorials are amazing! How did you create that red bloom/raindrop animation whenever you click your mouse?
So this won't work at all if I don't get chrome?
how do we find the chat box on muxy?
Have you checked strexm.tv ? I' using this for a while, is not very customisable but is very easy to setup.
I have, it reminds me of StreamPro.io (which was acquired by Twitch Alerts [which I think was acquired by Vulcan?]) Anyways... yes, it's easy to set up for sure I *think* StreamPro has a lot more customization.
so how come my followers can't see their name pop up while we are gaming?? use streamlabs and in the test, no problems in OBS but doesn't display in my Mixer stream.
GamingForGood. That sounds wonderful. Thank you!
Nice video , bro!
+AlpacaLegion thx~!
ce faci ma aici

Very useful but I wish it showed me how to add the latest dono and latest sub alerts.
Just thank you, you're an amazing teacher.
Hi NerdOrDie, When i added the text file for most recent follower, instead of saying the name alone it stated "Recent follower: (name) " instead of just the name alone, how can i solve this, thanks!
Thank you for you video. I have a question. I don't use OBS Studio but "Geforce Experience" instead for live broadcast streaming. Will the "Twitch Alerts" application work when using "Geforce Experience" and show the donators name when supporting? Thanks.
I saw that this video is posted a while ago so I don't know if this was available and as good at the time but you should check out streamlabs they work across multiple platforms not just for twitch but also for UA-cam Facebook mixer and more. It has completely customizable notifications and alerts for every type of thing including sponsors donations tips Super Chat and more even a wheel that you can spin and customize what is on the wheel digitally in your stream
NerdofDie, do you know why my notifications in streampro.io aren't playing any sounds, or keeping my current updated information? Also, it still shows my old twitch id when I log in and not my new one that I was forced to make. Thanks.
This video was very helpful. I've decided to use streampro for my streams for 5 months and it was perfect and was shutting down. And during the time of the video and now, New stream alerts were made and others were updated. Any possible remake of this video updated?
Do you know if there is any way to get subscriber notifications from youtube in obs?
Hey Nerd, how we can put the tab in the bottomof the screen "LATEST FOLLOWER " RECENT DONNATOR" ..etc.
Very nice tutoriel Thank you !
You can either use text sources + graphics, or create a graphic with the text on it. Check this out: ua-cam.com/video/u_uXjUOhbSA/v-deo.html
Thanks a lot bro !
I'm looking at streaming about 3 different games, do I need to make different scenes for them or can I have 1 game capture window open for them at different times, say when I'm ending one game and going onto another?
I was wondering if you could make a video displaying a song you're currently playing with a good music source.
Is there any Twitch Alert-like system to use on UA-cam instead of Twitch?
Hi! liked your video and subscribed, I am a starting vlogger and gamer . watching your video I am interested in all the content in it such as the alerts. My question to you is since the tools you are presenting use the twitch , or youtube accounts I am a bit paranoid how safe is all this since it use's the accounts as a login point? it's my first time using this system so in a way i say i am a newb when it comes to it , so i like your input for peace of mind .
I need to say, I am brazilian
I do not know how to speak English very well,I use google translate to help me
is that you me save
For some reason the session followers wont work, I did exactly as the video said t but it doesnt show any names at all, I do have followers
At the moment when i open the session follower.tst on obs nothing appears
I'm getting this for "recent donation". no text appears, is there something we can do to fix this?
Need to make an update video, as some of these I cannot find. Otherwise, good tutorial
I love you, that is all.
How do I know personally if I have got a sub, host etc. As I don’t want to sit and watch my stream until I see the alert pop up on screen
Do you know if all these tools will work on my stream even if I'm streaming directly from my ps4 or do I need to go trought a program like OBS?
You will need to use a program like OBS to get these to work. So, you'd pretty much need a capture card as well.
Okay Thanks Mate! By the way, you're awesome all your videos helped me a lot!
Okay, step one: get an upload speed faster than 0.8 Mbps.
when i tried installing streamlabs, I couldnt see it in any of my folders, I tried downloading it and saw the streamlabs folder when I was trying to choose the installation directory, any ideas wahts wrong?
okay, you told me alout of programs but what is the best??
Twitch alerts is the one I switched to after tnotifier closed its doors. It's definitely the easiest to pick up as a beginning streamer
+CenturionGhost if you liked how TNotifier worked, then I definitely recommend checking out Muxy - it's very similar.
+NerdOrDie thanks I will give it a look see! :D
this has been so useful to me i stream on youtube but it is through obs so it still works also i think twitch alerts is now stream labs which is what I use
@3:30 SOLD!
man your the best for this stuff. you earned a new sub
Thanks, these videos are super useful :)
Man, you're such a beast. Great tuts, seriously..
Thanks soooo much! My stream looks so much more professional
thank you for the videos and your time creating them for us !
How do you make that small chat window ??
This was so much help. Thank you.
is it ok if i use ur donation/twitter images and such? xD
Any free resources released on the channel/site are good to go!
i meant the ones u have on ur twitch >> but u might have the same ones here dont really remember xD
Do any of these sites, such as Twitch Alerts, work for UA-cam's live stream service?
Not just yet - but I'm assuming they might in the future. There's other specific UA-cam ones, though. Like this: streamwarrior.jdbar.me/
+NerdOrDie Excellent, thank you for the referral
Great video man!, helps a lot
Man I have loved everything about this whole playlist watched everything and set it all up too.
THANKS!!!

Exellent and detailed video, love your tutorials !
it is a little bit outdated i think
These videos are great I wished you had more subscribers because you deserve it!!
Thank you! We get this comment a lot, and it never gets old. I'd love to have a bigger base of subs, but I'm very happy having a great community first.
I just found this channel, instant sub, your awesome
Thanks! Glad you found it, excited to make more vids - new one this weekend.
thank you
Thanks fro this dude! :)

Very nice guide. Was wondering, If you plan to make videos on how to edit videos, make intros/outros etc with sony vegas.
+BeastlyHusla I've only used Sony Vegas once before and it was a long time ago. I currently work in Adobe After Effects and Premiere. We're actually considering starting an After Effects and Cinema 4D series soon.
NerdOrDie
That works aswell. I'm trying to learn on how to make clean edits to videos. I'll wait for those videos to come out. Thanks.
+NerdOrDie I really want to learn how to use After Effects for simple stuff, and you make really good tutorials. I'd love to see that!
Joker Productions has an editing vid that may be good for you. Check his channel out
Im the latest Follower yay :D
+Yui ♥ haha, I actually remember that I rerecorded this part. The first time I did it was someone else (Yoshi something) and then when I did the second recording I noticed the change. Had to be fate. Congrats!
