Done!

And you are done! Throw a !shoutout tawmae into chat to give it a go :)

Customization Panel

Open the browser source in OBS with Interact, then press S. This is where you change the appearance, move things around and decide what shows on screen. Keep Streamer.bot connected and save with the disk icon or Ctrl+S.

General

Set the clip volume and arrange the player on your canvas. Drag the purple outline to move the whole player, or its corner to resize it. Everything inside scales with it.

Shift locks an axis, Alt skips snapping, the arrow keys nudge and Ctrl+Z undoes. Reset position puts the player back where it started, while Reset everything restores the default design. Hit the disk icon or Ctrl+S to save your changes.
General tab with clip volume and layout reset controls

Design

This is where you make it yours.

Font & colours: pick your font and change the text, accent and info bar colours. You can type the name of a font installed on your PC, or open the overlay in a normal browser to load your installed fonts into the list.
Shape: put the info bar above or below the clip, adjust the gap and round the corners.
Timer: choose a circle, a number or a progress bar.
Media: add an image or video behind the loading screen, a frame image over the clip and a sound for the start of a shoutout. Transparent PNGs work well as frames. The BRB player skips the shoutout sound.
Design tab with colours, shape, timer styles and custom media

Text

Change the labels shown on the overlay: the text before the clipper's name, the loading message and the BRB player message. Leave the clipper label empty if you only want to show their name.
Text tab with clipper, loading and BRB labels

Elements

Use the eye icons to show or hide the info bar, avatar, channel name, game, stream title, summary, timer, clip title, clip date, clipper and loading screen.

Drag the green outlines on the canvas to move individual elements, then drag their corners to resize them. The reset button next to an element restores its default position and size.

Files

You can use my file storage for your loading background, frame and shoutout sound. Get a File Upload API Key from Account → API Keys, paste it into the Files tab and hit Save key. Pick your media with the + button on the Design tab.

Open the overlay in a normal browser to upload files, OBS Interact cannot open the file picker. Choosing files you have already uploaded works in OBS too. You can also paste a direct file URL from another host into the Design tab.

FAQ
Why AI?
Generative AI is used to turn a channel's tags and title into a concise, coherent summary. It adds no style or personality, isn't customizable by the end user, and keeps creative input close to zero. It simply reformats existing information into a readable sentence. It's entirely optional to use and if you don't feel comfortable with that, remove the '%summary%' variables from the responses and text boxes and no AI will be used at all.

Thank you so much for making this. I am just learning streamerbot and this saved me so much crashing out. I couldn't figure out the video part and this was perfect

Sometimes the seemingly simplest things can add so much to your stream! Highly reccomend using this extension, and honestly all Tawmae extensions!
