Want to know how to set up stream alerts on Mixer in this video right here I'm
gonna show you how to customize your stream alerts using stream labs let's
dive in it's going on it's your boy Santana with Lions Among Sheep
well I bring you guys the best streaming tips and tricks if it's your first time
here and you want to learn how to improve and grow your stream and
personal brand subscribe to my channel and hit notification bell so you can be
notified when I'd open a new video every single Tuesday I think upstream alerts
on mixer is a great way to entertain your audience as well as getting them to
engage with your actual stream so it's very important that when you setup your
alerts that they're on brand and showcase your personality that way your
viewers are more invested into your actual channel so we're gonna be using
stream labs to be able to power all of our lurtz that are gonna pop up on our
mixer stream so the first thing we want to do is we want to go ahead and get
logged in with our mixer account once you're logged in you want to go ahead
and come to the left hand side menu and select alert box now this is where we're
gonna be able to customize all the alerts that appear on mixer when it
comes to follow subscriptions donations host etc the murse that's purchased if
you're using stream labs this is where we're gonna customize all the alerts
they're gonna appear on stream so the first thing we want to do is you want to
come to the general settings this is the first step to make sure that everything
else that we do works the way it needs to so the only things you want to focus
on here is the alert delay put that at five seconds this is gonna be the delay
between the time that somebody does an action to the time that it actually
appears on the actual stream unlimited alert moderation delay have that
disabled you don't want to manually approve alerts it just doesn't make any
sense so you just want to focus on that and leave it disabled as far as the
layout this isn't gonna be more of your personal preference how you want the
alerts to actual display whether you want an image on top and a text on the
bottom or the image and in the text over the image or the image to the left and
the text to the right for the purpose of this video we're gonna do an image above
and a text under so just go ahead and follow along if you want it that way
alert parries have that disabled and profanity filter is very important to
have active just cuz you never know based on donations people are able to
send messages with the donations so just in
case somebody wants to troll you you want to make sure that you're at least
protected as much as possible that way you offer the best experience possible
to your viewers so have this replace bad words with asterisks have enable
standard bad word lists that way you don't have to think about what could be
said and then enemy's names containing bad words as well and then if you do
have any additional bad words that you may want to add or profanity this is
where you would add that and once you've kind of completed these settings here
you simply want to go ahead and click save settings and now the basic settings
for the alerts are set up and now we can go ahead and start customizing the
actual follow screens okay so the first thing we're gonna do before we go ahead
and customize the actual followers alert is we want to go ahead and select this
actual widget URL and select copy now you want to go ahead and put this and
input it into either OBS or live stream or stream level yes whatever platform
you're using to actually stream or host your overlays this is where you want to
add the actual browser source so if you're using a live stream which is what
I was using prior to using OBS you simply want to go ahead and select
layers you want to select the plus you want to come here and you want to select
third-party integrations you then want to go ahead and select Stream labs and
here you want to enter that URL that we just went ahead and copied from Stream
labs and now here you can see here this is where your alert box is gonna be so
feel free to move this or change it to wherever you like but once you go back
to Stream labs and you select this test follow you'll see here that it'll appear
whatever we customized so that way now I can edit this I can make it smaller I
can change the positioning so you're able to test the alerts before you
actually go live so it's the same process for OBS you simply add a browser
source and drop the actual link if you're not sure exactly how to do that a
simple search on Google or YouTube for the actual platform you're using will
guide you on how to add the actual alerts so now that you know how to add
the alerts to your actual platform now we can go ahead and start customizing
and testing the actual alert so the first thing you want to do is you want
to make sure that you have alerts enabled once that's enabled you want to
look at the layout and you want to select the layout that best define to
the image and the layout that you're gonna be using for the purpose of this
video we're gonna you an image up top and a text on the bottom and then as far
as the animation that the alert is gonna have I have it set as a fade in and fade
out you can always change this and in order for you to change it if we're to
show effect you have to make the change and scroll to the bottom and hit save
and then you'll be able to test and it will appear on the platform that you're
using so the next thing is the message template this is it gonna be the text is
gonna appear when somebody follows your stream by default is set to the name of
the user is now following feel free to change that to be something a little
more brandable like name welcome to the kirby show will be an example so feel
free to use whatever text you feel comfortable using there the next thing
is the text animation this is gonna be how the text is gonna be animated I have
it set as bounce once again they have several options for you to select from
choose the one that you like test it out and see what works best
the next thing here is gonna be the image and the sound that's gonna appear
once somebody follows now a lot of times you can have your own custom actual
alert screens and you can add them on here you can create your own overlays or
alerts using canva which I've shown you in other videos how powerful canva is
you can go ahead and outsource and hire somebody to create designs for you or
you can search the web for free templates to plug in if you like however
stream labs does offer you a vast variety of imagery that you can use
right at the gate and if you find one that fits within your brand or or your
personality feel free to select those and once you have that image selected
same thing goes for the actual sound you can upload your own sound on here your
own mp3s or you can use some of the sounds and animations that streamlets
has here selected so let's go ahead and say this is gonna be the image and the
sound that we want to use and then the sound volume I typically put it at 50%
feel free to adjust that to your liking like I said you're able to test the
sound the way things look by using the test button
then having that link installed in your actual platform the next thing here is
the alert duration now I typically found that six seconds is a sweet spot
however for donations I like to increase this just a little bit longer to give
that person more screen time to value them for that actual donation so the
next thing you have here is the alert text delay I have that at 0 simply
because I want the text in the image to appear at the actual same time the next
thing here is the enable custom HTML have that disabled and the only other
thing that we're gonna go ahead and customize is the font settings so feel
free to choose a font that you like or that fits with your brand I use open
sans it's the easiest to read as far as the font size this is gonna be
predicated on the image you're using how small it is so just go ahead and
customize this to your liking change the settings I have it at 40 font with this
is the thickness of the actual font I have it at 700 text color white and in
the highlighted color as you can see here the highlighted color is gonna be
the actual name so when I click test follow you'll see that it appears here
the highlighted color is gonna be the user name of the actual person and
what's in white is gonna be the text after that so once you've completed and
customized your actual follow alert you simply hit save settings and now that
alert is gonna appear as long as you have that browser source set up in your
platform where they be OBS stream live OBS or live stream it will start to
appear and now that you know how to set up one of the alerts you simply do the
same for all the others that you need and like I said the process is fairly
similar so just follow along with what we did for follow alerts and you should
be good to go now that you know how to setup your stream alerts on mixer how do
