Hi folks! I'm opening a music stream on different platforms like Facebook or youtube. I also followed all the steps, but my live chat isn't displayed in the app. Could you help me with that? By the way, I see Twidget as a fascinating concept, and I hope you'll develop it in the best way. Also, I wanted to ask you about this platform top4smm.com. My cousin recommended I use it at the beginning for promoting my channel. Have you heard anything about them? Does it's worth it? It's something new for me, and I'd be grateful for your advice!

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?

How did you solve the FB problems?
I never got it working with Facebook. I grant it permission and provide the FB link but it does not load any comments.

你是如何解決FB問題的？
我從來沒有和Facebook合作過。我授予它許可權並提供FB連結，但它不載入任何評論。

Hey everyone! I'm the developer.

I just would like to say that Twidget is no longer being maintained. It will be shut down in a while due to the amount of cost needed to host everything.

Fear not though! I am creating another project called ChatPipe which will have the functionality of Twidget but with extra functionality and features as well as support for MacOS & Linux.

Any issues with Twidget as of now is no longer being attained to. But, I am able to provide a custom fork of Twidget at a cost for anyone who wants it (you can email me for that). The custom fork includes highly requested features such as support for emojis, facebook support, customized chat template, etc.

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!

Dear ZackVT
I am so sad to hear that, but I think you have the reason.
May I have a chance to asking for "Can it possible to fix the facebook connect with twidget". Please, thank you.

Good afternoon @ZackyVT

I was wondering, would it be possible when you have the time to add a filter function in so that I can see only the YouTube superchats? In addition the Twidget app does not show when someone has become a member or is using their once a month member only message - could Twidget be configured to show these as well?

Thank you for your time
Stef

Whoa yes, I am wanting this so bad for Mac. What is the status of it now it is now September 2, 2022. I will try to search and see if you’ve developed anything with chat pipe. Thanks so much again for an awesome widget, I’ve heard great things watching on YouTube right now about it.
