Question / Help OBS New follower text

[TehGashMan]

Hi. I'm trying to find out how to create a "new follower" text area which will update with the username of the new follower automatically. This will be located in the corner as text not a PNG/GIF as i don't want to use any of these overlay things cheers. If anyone knows how to do this please explain.

Here's the layout of my stream to give you an idea of what I mean. http://gyazo.com/f056279de398f82d5befb008ca0c7418

Grab SubAlert (http://twitch.tv/subalert). It writes out the names of the most recent donor/subscriber/follower to text files that you can then hook in OBS via a text source set to watch the appropriate textfile. You don't need to activate the alert (at least I don't *think* you do) to have these work, but you could also set up a 'blank' alert with no sound-file if it doesn't update the .txt without the alerter being live.

There is no native method for calling this information from within OBS, so yes, you'll need something like SubAlert running, even if it never actually shows up on-stream.
