Show Twitch + Kick chat on stream for free
Hey there! In this tutorial we'll show you how to add a chat overlay so your viewers can see messages from your Twitch and Kick streams right on your livestream.
This uses Streamable's built-in chat overlay and works in both Streamable Remote OBS and your own local OBS.
Step 1:Sign up for a free Streamable account.
Create your account at Streamable.run.
Step 2:Navigate to Settings -> Destinations, and Add your Twitch and/or Kick destination.
Click Add Destination, and select Twitch and/or Kick.
Streamable will aggregate messages from both platforms into one browser source.
Step 3:Navigate to Tools -> Overlays, Enable Twitch/Kick, and copy your Chat Overlay link.
After at least one platform is enabled, copy your Chat Overlay link from the Chat Overlay card. This is the URL you'll paste into OBS.
Step 4:Add the overlay in Streamable Remote OBS or local OBS.
In Streamable Remote OBS, or in your own local OBS, click Add Source -> Browser Source.
Paste in your Chat Overlay link, click OK, then resize and position the source wherever you want chat to appear.
Step 5:All done - happy streaming!
Your chat overlay is now added, and your viewers will be able to see messages from Twitch and Kick on stream.
Send a quick test message in chat to make sure everything is showing correctly.
