How To Add Alerts To OBS Studio Using Stream Elements Stream Alerts are not a feature that is natively built into OBS Studio so we will need to use a third-party application such as Stream Elements or Streamlabs to add them. If you do not have a StreamElements account you will need to create one before continuing. Luckily StreamElements has a ton of pre-made alert packs built into their software. Go to StreamElements –> Dashboard –> Streaming Tools –> Overlays Gallery –> Alerts If you don’t have custom alerts already created you can use these to get started. You can then scroll down and choose an alert pack that you like the look off. I chose the Royal Red Alert pack which is free to use inside StreamElements.

Once you select your pack click on Create a New Overlay and click Continue. Give your theme a name and then click Create My Overlay. Step 3 – Copy And Paste Your URL Into OBS Studio

Now open OBS Studio and Navigate to sources –> Add New + –> Browser –> Create New (Name it: StreamElements Alerts) You will now be presented with a link that we can add to OBS Studio to showcase our alerts.

In the URL section paste the URL we got from StreamElements and change the width to 1800.Ĭlick on OK and now your alert box will appear in your scene however nothing will be in the box. Step 4 – Emulate Alerts In StreamElements To ensure that your alerts are working correctly you can emulate them before going live. To emulate alerts open up StreamElements and go to your Dashboard –> Streaming Tools –> My Overlays –> Select the Alert Overlay we created previously and click on Edit.
