How to Set Up Twitch alerts in OBS
As you may already be aware, Twitch alerts are not provided by the platform itself, and you will need to add them via a streaming app like OBS studio. These alerts can be for anything from getting a new follower to when someone donates. Twitch alerts are visible on your stream to your viewers and help you interact with them or appreciate their actions.
Primarily there are two types of alerts you can set up - Pop-up alerts and widget alerts. Pop-up alerts, as the name suggests, pop up on your screen, and they disappear after a few seconds. You can have a cool gif, image or text that you prefer as a part of the notification. Widget alerts, on the other hand, stay on the screen.
So, if you are a streamer, and you want to set up alerts on your stream, follow the below steps to set them up using Streamlabs.
