Ad breaks
A countdown appears three minutes before an ad. The last thirty seconds go red. While the ads run, it counts those down as well.
It uses Twitch's own ad schedule. You can change how early the countdown starts.

Setting it up
Nothing to wire up
-
Sign in with TwitchOpen it, it shows a code and opens Twitch. Check the code matches and approve. You do this once.
-
It sits in your trayRight-click the icon for the switches, double-click it for settings. Changes save as you make them.
-
Move thingsDrag the boxes where you want them. Pull a corner to resize. Press Done. If you've got more than one monitor, pick which ones it covers.
-
Change what you likeColours, sounds, how many chat lines you see and how long they stay.
-
The guide is in the appA How to page covers every setting, and the usual fixes when something looks wrong.
The one rule: run the game in borderless or windowed fullscreen. Proper fullscreen covers the whole screen, this included.
On your screen
What it shows
Chat
Chat sits in a corner and fades as it goes, emotes included. A first-time chatter's message gets a coloured edge. Polls, predictions and hype trains show as the votes come in. When a mod deletes a message or bans someone, it goes from your screen too.
Hide bots, your own messages or !commands if you want.
Alerts
Follows, subs, gift subs, bits, raids and redeems pop up with a sound. If you already have an alert box in OBS, point the HUD at it instead and you see the same alert your viewers do.
Your own chat commands
Make !whatever and give it a picture, a gif or a sound. Set where it lands, how long it stays, who can use it and how often.
Emotes and power-ups
Emotes from chat float up the screen. Bits power-ups land on it too: gigantified emotes, message effects and celebrations. Twitch only shows those in its own player, so this is the first time you'll see them while playing.
On stream
If you want some of it on stream as well
The Stream page gives you one browser source for OBS. Add it, then tick which parts go out: emotes, power-ups, command pictures, chat, alerts, polls, the viewer count. Every switch starts off.
Stream Stickers, Blerp and other transparent sources can run through the same source instead of their own, which saves a few in OBS. The stream can have its own layout. If you stream from two PCs, it works over your home network.

Questions
Can my viewers see it?
No. It's on your monitor. Putting parts of it on stream is a separate browser source with its own switches, all off until you turn them on.
Does it need setting up in OBS?
No. It reads your Twitch account directly and sits over the game by itself, whatever you stream with. OBS only comes into it if you want something on stream.
Does it work over my game?
In borderless or windowed fullscreen, yes. Proper fullscreen covers everything, this included.
Will it slow my PC down?
No. Under one per cent of the processor on mine. Stream Stickers and Blerp each run a hidden browser, so only switch on the ones you use.
What does it send anywhere?
When it starts it checks with cptchaos.com that your channel has access: your Twitch sign-in and the version number. Nothing else leaves your PC.
I stream from two PCs.
The HUD runs on the PC you play on. Its OBS source can be opened from the streaming PC over your home network.
Mac?
Not yet. Windows 10 and 11.
How much?
