If you’re just starting out as a new streamer, then we’d generally recommend to keep your starting screen short and sweet (about a minute). If any more big platforms emerge, you can rest assured that we’ll add support for them in the future! View Alert Products The alerts we provide are easy to set up (in fact you can install them in one click), and can be used on Streamlabs and StreamElements with Twitch, YouTube, and Facebook.

It’s tempting to add big, bright, and beautiful alerts for everyone that you can, but as your stream begins to grow, this might become a bit annoying to your viewers, and even have a negative impact on your stream’s content. When using alerts, you generally want to have them draw attention to the fact that a certain user took a specific action. Alerts can even include sound effects for each, adding just another way to customize and impress your viewers. You can even take these further by adding variations to donations over a certain amount, or a subscriber that’s been around for a longer period of time. You might have one alert for a new donation and another alert for a new Twitch subscriber. This is because sites like Streamlabs and StreamElements offer different variations and coding capabilities for this type of overlay element.

While labels are more of a static reminder of your latest supporters, alerts can be dynamic when added to your stream overlay. If you’ve seen a stream, then you probably have seen alert notifications and widgets.
