Visual alerts

For deaf and hard-of-hearing creators and viewers. Every sound alert is shown as well as heard, on your LIVE page and on your stream.

Included in every plan. Every plan starts with a 7-day free trial. Compare the plans.

Alerts on your LIVE page

Every sound alert that plays also gets its own row on your LIVE page: who set it off, the sound and the gift or word that triggered it. Nothing is only heard.

Example: a sound alert shown on your LIVE page as well as played.
  • Priya sent 5 Roses Gift
  • Priya Applause · Rose Alert

Alerts on your stream

Add the visual alerts overlay to OBS or TikTok LIVE Studio and your viewers see each alert too: the gift’s picture, who sent it and the sound. Choose how long each one stays, from 2 to 15 seconds, where it sits and how big it is. Alerts wait their turn, so none is cut short.

Calm overlays

One switch takes the movement out of every overlay: no pulsing, bouncing, flashing or scrolling. Visual alerts only fade in.

Example: the Calm overlays setting.
