If you don't have alerts on your stream, you're missing out on the opportunity
to be able to get more followers, more subscribers, and more donation.
So in this video I'm gonna show you how I go ahead and set up your alerts inside of
o Bs studio and make sure you stick around to the end where I'm gonna show you how
to go ahead and set donations so you can start earning some money on your stream.
Let's go ahead and dive in.
So the very first thing you want to do is you wanna make sure you have your OB.
Studio open.
Then once you have that open, you're gonna wanna go to the link in the description
of this video for stream elements.com.
This is gonna be the tool we're gonna utilize to be able to set up our alerts.
So once you're here, you're gonna come to log in.
It's gonna prompt you to get connected with your streaming platform.
I'm gonna use Twitch for this example.
And then it's gonna ask you to go ahead and authorize Twitch to gain access stream
elements, and then you'll be brought to this dashboard here on the left hand
side, you're gonna select streaming tools.
You're gonna come to overlays, and we're gonna go to name a new
overlay for the overlay resolution.
We're gonna leave it at 10 80 p.
You're gonna hit start.
And now we're gonna do is we're gonna come to this plus icon and we're gonna select
alerts, and we're gonna select Alert box.
Now you're gonna see here all the alerts that we have available
to be able to customize.
Follow alert, subscriber, alert, tip, cheer, host and Raid.
Now out of the Gate Stream Elements does give you some standard alerts
that you can go ahead and utilize.
So if you press a little Gear icon, you're gonna be able to edit all
the assets of the follower alert.
So if we come here to where it says Emulate, this is how you test the alert.
You come to follow Alert, and you're gonna see here, this is gonna be the
animation, the alert that appears.
If you like the standard ones that comes from Stream Elements,
you can go ahead and use those.
Pretty much hit save, and then you are able to go ahead and follow along after.
I like to use more custom alerts, so what I like to do is I like to come
to StreamDesignz.com and I'll put a link in the description of this video
where they have tons of animated alerts that you can go ahead and
choose from and different overlays.
So once you go ahead and have your alert, what you're gonna wanna do
is on stream elements, you're gonna come to where it says change video.
Once you change video, you're gonna click upload.
And then you're gonna go ahead and select the files.
Now, if you went ahead and got this from Stream Designz, you're
gonna come and it's initially gonna come in a zip file just like this.
You'll simply have to unzip it first.
So if you don't know how to unzip a file, just simply go to
Google and search how to do that.
And then you'll get a folder just like this, that's gonna say alerts.
And then here you're gonna see new follower, new host, new
donation, new bits, new subscriber.
So I'm gonna go ahead and say new follow.
And I'm only gonna show you guys how to set up two alerts in this video since,
really, cuz once you know how to do it one time, you can do it for all the others.
So here it is, right here.
I'm gonna hit some.
And now we can go ahead and test this and say follow event.
And you're gonna see here now that the animation for the alert has
happened, but our text is not aligned.
So to be able to adjust this, and these settings that I'm about to
show you now are gonna be different based on the alerts that you get.
If you got your alerts from stream designz, then these settings that I'm
gonna give you are gonna work just fine.
So the first thing you're gonna want to do is you're gonna come here on
the left hand side and you're gonna go ahead and select the layout.
Then from there, what I'd like to do is I'd like to change this text from
now, from the name is now following.
I like to put, just followed.
Okay.
And then what you want to do is you want to go ahead and scroll down here
to where it says text settings, and then we'll go ahead and enable custom font.
And I like to use Impact as it's gonna look bold.
So we'll come here and test this again.
You'll see here that now it's there and what we want to do is we want
to come to advance to be able to get this text to show up in this box.
So if you're using again, Stream Designz, alerts, you're gonna go ahead and put in
the top, you're gonna put negative 200.
And then on the left you're gonna put 15.
And then what I'd like to do is I'd like to go ahead and change
the color of the name to match the alerts that I wanna ahead in got.
So for this one we use kind of like a yellow, so I'm gonna leave that there.
And now when I hit emulate and I can follow event, you're gonna see here that
the name now appears inside of the box.
So now that we have that there, what I want you to do is to come back.
And I wanna show you another alert, cuz this is also gonna be super important.
So the subscriber alert, when you hit the little gear icon, you're gonna
be able to change this exactly as you would, but you're gonna see here that
the bottom that is gonna go ahead and give you variation settings.
This is super important, right?
Because when you do subscribers, maybe you want Resubscribe subscriber gift
and community gifts, and you want different alerts to be able to pop up.
Either way, even if you want the same subscriber alert to change, you've
gotta come to gear and then you'll be able to change all the different
animations, how many months you want, now, what's the sound, what's
the image, and things of that sort.
So that's how you're gonna go ahead and make variations for the
different kind of subscriber event.
Now I wanna show you how you can go ahead and add sound to these animations.
Now, again, outta the gate, you're gonna get one sound and stream element.
So again, if we hit here and we hit the follow event, you're
gonna get one individual sound.
Now I like to go again and use custom sounds.
Now I personally utilize epidemic sounds, and again, I'll put a link in
the description for epidemic sounds.
Were you able to get royalty free music?
And once you get logged in, you get a 30 day free trial to be able to utilize this.
And then you come here to where it says sound effects, and you're gonna
see all the different options of sound effects that you have here available.
So I'm gonna go ahead and come down to the section that says games.
And I'm gonna go ahead and look through this music.
I'm just gonna go ahead and use the first one for this example.
So once you found your sound effect, you come into the right, you select
download format, you do mp3, and you simply go ahead and select download.
Once you have that downloaded, you wanna come back here into stream elements.
And here where it says clear sound, you can clear it and then upload a sound.
And now you can go ahead and select files.
You can go to the download where you found that sound, that open it and add it here.
And now you wanna select, submit.
And now you're able to adjust the volume of that sound.
So if I come and emulate this follower alert, now I'm gonna have the sound that I
went ahead and set up for that animation.
So what you want to do is you want to go ahead and go one by one and set up
all your alert to utilizing the steps that I just went ahead and showed you.
Now let's go ahead and get this inside of o Bs studio, so that way when somebody
does go ahead and follow, subscribe or donate, it pops up on screen.
So to be able to do that, we wanna go ahead and hit save.
We wanna go ahead and name this alerts.
You're gonna hit save here and now what we're gonna do is we're gonna come up
top to this little little paperclip icon and click copy over overlay url.
Then we want to come back here to O B S studio, and you want to go ahead and
place the alerts on every single scene that you're gonna go ahead and utilize.
So if I want it on my countdown scene, I'm gonna press this plus icon.
I'm gonna go ahead and use the browser.
I'm gonna go ahead and name this alerts, and then I'm gonna say, okay, and now
what I want to do is I want to go ahead and paste in that URL that we just went
ahead and copied from Stream Element.
The Width I'm gonna do 1920 by 10 80.
And then we want to go ahead and select, okay, now you're gonna see here that our
alert is gonna be placed on this element.
Now it's very important that if you want your alerts to show, make sure
that the alerts is at the top of everything inside of your sources.
And then under gameplay, we can come and press the plus icon again, and then we're
able to go ahead and do browser source.
And now you don't need to add it again.
Click add existing select alerts.
And you want to do this for every single scene.
Now let's go ahead and test this out to make sure everything is working.
So to be able to test this, we come back to stream element.
We come to emulate.
What I recommend is that you test every single one, but we go ahead
and follow event and I want you to click it a few times so it
can pop up on o Bs studio for us.
And you'll see here that now it's shown up.
So what I want you to do is hold the option or the all key, and I want
you to just resize this so you can have more flexibility to be able to
go ahead and move this around without having to go to stream elements.
So now I can place.
Exactly where I want it to be.
And then I can do check it down.
Same thing here inside of the game play scene.
I can go ahead and move it as well and place it exactly where I want it to be.
So now you can see here that we have our alerts and the package
that I'm utilizing, that you're seeing here for the countdown timer.
And the alert is called LUX Package from Stream Designz.
Now what I want you to do is now that you have these alerts in place, you can go
ahead and start to get more followers, more subscribers, and more donations.
But you have to know how to set up donations so that it comes up on screen.
So to be able to go ahead and set up donations.
That way you can receive money and then it also appears on your
stream when somebody donates.
Go ahead and click this video right here where I walk you step by step on setting
up donations for your Twitch Stream.
I'll see you guys in the next video.
