Choose the appropriate file, and then it will be connected and updated automatically.

Here, you will 'Browse' to find a file that you want read and synced inside of your streaming software.

Linking your Stream label to the textĪfter you have correctly positioned your text and customized it's font, we'll need to link it to your label. Please note that it's best to change the font size inside of the text source properties, and not drag to scale (this can cause blurry text). We recommend entering in some demo text so that you can position and size your text properly. To add 'Labels' to your OBS scenes, you'll first need to add text sources. We suggest making a 'Streamlabels' folder to keep them in. When you install this program, it will create various text files on your computer that you can then reference inside of OBS Studio (or your streaming software).Īfter you install the Stream labels application, you will select a location that will save the many text files need in a later step.

The place to start is the program Stream Labels from Streamlabs. Here's how to use them:įirst, you'll need to download and run a program that updates text files dynamically as you get new followers, tips, subscribers, etc. Stream labels are text files generated by an application, that update when actions occur on your stream (ie: Likes, Follows, Subs etc.) These are different from alerts as they are persistent and stay on screen until the action occurs again, updating the source. In order to have your supporter bars show the most current information, you'll have to link the text to a stream label.
