How do I set up stream alerts?

Show a live on-stream alert when a fan sends you a gift. Set up Throne alerts in OBS, Streamlabs, XSplit, or Twitch's native alerts.

Quick answer: To set up Throne stream alerts, open the Stream Alerts section of your Integrations page, customize your alert, and add the link to OBS, Streamlabs, or XSplit as a browser source. You can also connect Throne to Twitch's native alert system. Either way, your stream shows a live notification the moment a fan sends a gift.

How do I add Throne alerts to OBS, Streamlabs, or XSplit?

Browser-source alerts work with most broadcasting software that supports browser sources, on Twitch, YouTube, or Facebook.

  1. Head to the Stream Alerts section of your Integrations page and customize how your alerts look and sound.

  2. Copy your alert link into your broadcasting software:

    • OBS or Streamlabs: open a scene, hit + in the Sources pane, choose "Browser," name it "Throne Alerts," and paste your link into the URL field. Keep the red frame fully visible in your scene.

    • XSplit: Add source, then Webpage, then paste the link.

  3. Send a test alert from the Integrations page before you go live.

How do I control Throne alert volume in OBS?

When you add the browser source, tick "Control audio via OBS." In the Audio Mixer, open the settings icon, choose "Advanced Audio Properties," find your Throne source, and set Audio Monitoring to "Monitor Only (mute output)." Adjust the volume and send a test alert.

Having volume issues? Switching to "Monitor and Output" has fixed it for some users.

How do I use Throne with Twitch's native alerts?

Throne also plugs straight into Twitch's own alert system.

  1. Connect Twitch on the Twitch integration page. Signed up with Twitch? You're already connected.

  2. On Twitch, open your Creator Dashboard, click "Alerts," and select "Get Started." In the Alert Editor, click "Create New Variant."

  3. Scroll to the bottom of the variant options, allow Twitch to connect to Throne, and authorize.

  4. Customize your Throne alerts, grab the browser source URL, and add it to your streaming software. Once it's created, filter the Activity Feed in Stream Manager to show your alerts.

Fans choose whether their gift message shows publicly, so only public messages appear in your alerts.
