Twitch chat overlay for OBS

Twitch chat can be part of the stream without forcing your private streamer workflow into the scene. StreamBuddy keeps setup simple: connect your accounts, go live, read Twitch beside the rest of your chat in one multichat-focused workspace, and use display-only OBS surfaces when chat belongs on stream.

How StreamBuddy helps

One combined feed
Bring messages from connected streaming platforms into one private multichat workspace.
Viewer context
Open viewer profiles, notes, tags, and returning-viewer history without leaving the chat workflow.
OBS-friendly surfaces
Use private dock/popout workflows for yourself and display-only browser-source overlays for viewers inside OBS or Streamlabs.
Private by default
Streamer-only notes, tags, summaries, and profile context stay out of public overlay surfaces.

Overlay versus workspace

The overlay is for display. The StreamBuddy dashboard is the private workspace where the streamer can open viewer profiles, manage notes, and keep context away from the public scene.

Easy setup for OBS workflows

StreamBuddy is built for streamers who want less technical setup. Connect your streaming accounts, go live, and add the display-only browser-source overlay to the OBS workflow you already use.

What StreamBuddy adds

Use Twitch chat inside a broader multichat workflow, keep badges and viewer context readable, and show a clean display-only overlay URL in OBS when chat should be visible to viewers.

What to know

StreamBuddy supports Twitch chat in the private dashboard and OBS-friendly display surfaces, with streamer-only notes, tags, and controls kept separate from what viewers see.

See the viewer context

Messages from connected platforms, interleaved in one feed with platform badges kept visible and private viewer context behind each username.

Regular
