This program aims to improve the streaming experience. It independently hosts a chat widget that communicates with Streamer.Bot via its websocket API.
All you have to do to see your chat in OBS is copy the link and paste it as a browser source in your scene.
Navigate to the widget directory to see how to work with widget links and custom themes.Hey streamer! This user guide is special for you! Don’t miss it!
Game mode
ZiegmaChat has an extremely useful feature for streamers with only one screen.
In this mode, a second program window is launched, which can be freely placed anywhere on the screen.
After customizing its size and position, you can use a special switch to turn it into a gaming overlay.Note:
There are games that force themselves to always be on top of everything. It is recommended to play them in windowed mode to see the overlay.Credits
Thanks to BlackyWhoElse for the chat widget that was modified for correct usage in this project.
