How to add a scrolling ticker with shoutouts to your DJ stream

Watch: How to add a scrolling ticker with shoutouts to your DJ stream

The ticker scrolls messages along the bottom of your show. Use it for shoutouts and announcements, while you keep mixing.

Save messages that loop

  1. Open Overlays and click Ticker.
  2. Type a message and press Save. Saved messages can Loop or play Once.
  3. Press Show to start one, and Stop to end it.

Send a one-off shoutout

  1. Type it in the quick box, for example “Happy birthday Maya!”.
  2. Press Send once. It scrolls across one time.

Style it

Pick a font, a size, a height and a color. It scrolls along under your visuals.

Tips

  • Set up the lines you use every show once: a thank-you for tuning in, a nudge to drop requests in the chat.
  • Your first three saved messages are on Shift + 5, Shift + 6 and Shift + 7.
  • More overlays: see Stream overlays.
