Is this already working perfectly with FB? I tried it, but not all comments are being captured by Twidget.

I had it connect with FB and YT. All the comments from YT are being captured by Twidget, but the comments from the FB page I manage are not all coming along to Twidget

I remember using another tool to display my youtube chat, it was really good since you could chose the fonts, colors, transparency, the bad thing and main reason why i keep streaming on twitch instead youtube is because there wasn't a fade out option in the chat tool i was using for youtube, i stream them download > edit > upload videos, sadly is not good if there is old chat lines stuck in the screen forever.
suggestions: fade out and transparency in the chat

Hello! This is a GREAT app. I used a few other methods but this one works the best of them all. I do have a few questions:
  1. On youtube, I have noticed the pop does not show emoticons. Before today it would just be blank, not it just shows the :: code.
  2. I have the browser source set to refresh when loaded, but I've had to manually refresh the browser source every time I start Twidget up.
  3. A few times some of the chatters names seem to be broken and in the popup their youtube icon is a broken link.

Hi Zacky VT,

Thanks a lot for the great app!

I have a suggestion, as I cannot find a way to do this - perhaps add an option for the messages to automatically disappear after some time (while using the 'chatflow'), for example: set a custom time in seconds.

What lines of code to add to change the color Red for another color ...
and increase the font size?

Displaying and selecting youtube stream comments in your stream is a pretty simple task. Although, this feature has been completely blown out. In the market right now, there are very few software that can help you do this and none of them are natively integrated into OBS. Software like Streamyard, VMix Social, RestreamIO, they all cost upwards of hundreds of dollars every year. Most users simply just want to select and display LiveChat comments on their stream without paying hundreds of dollars annually or getting your stream filled with watermarks as well as using a totally different streaming software and abandoning OBS.

Well, now there's a solution to this. I'm a simple developer and I simply wanted to create free software that filled this feature and did not incur any additional cost, put watermarks on people's stream or put any kind of limitation to this feature. I created Twidget. Twidget is a windows application that is used with OBS to display and select Youtube Livestream comments to the OBS stream for free.

Download Twidget Here: Twidget Download Page

Twidget uses a browser source to connect OBS with itself. It runs a service on localhost:3000/source to which the user has to create a browser source and link this URL to it. Twidget is easy to use, just run the installer and wait for the installer to install the application. And then open Twidget, sign in using the google account, and then click the start button, paste the YouTube stream URL to the box and click OK. Twidget should start loading the live chats from the stream into the app's chatbox.

You then open OBS, create a new browser source, use the "localhost:3000/source" URL, set your desired width and height of the chat widget, enable the "Refresh Browser When Scene Becomes Active" option, leave everything as default, then click OK. You should see a small loading widget that shows Twidget is loading, once this widget disappears, it means it's active.

You then go back to Twidget and select the chats you would like to display, you can scroll to view all the chats in the chatbox as well as unselect chats you've already selected. You can also change the theme of the widget by clicking the settings icon in the chatbox menubar and selecting your desired templates.

PS: If the chats don't appear in the OBS browser source widget, simply refresh the scene by changing to another scene, waiting a few seconds, and then changing back to the scene with the OBS browser source. This will refresh the browser source widget and the chats should be displayed now!

Just downloaded this. Assuming it works as advertised, this is a much needed solution to fill that hole in the OBS interface.

Question: will this allow us to pull chats/comments from multiple platforms at once? Ex: live chat from both YouTube and Facebook, if we're streaming to both at the same time?

Twidget worked for me on my last machine, but I recently set up a newer and more powerful machine, and Twidget installs... It asks for permission from my Google Account and reports in the browser that it has successfully done so, but when I go back to Twidget it just endlessly shows the loading circle.

Since this began happening on the new machine, I went back to the old machine and now Twidget says it's logging into my Gmail account and then endlessly spins on that machine as well. Will not work on either machine. HALP!

I have solved the FB problem and it is displayed normally.
Now there is a problem showing that comments will not be automatically displayed downwards.
You have to press the down arrow to show the comments down. How can I modify this?
