Choose a studio scene type

A scene is one browser source. It has its own canvas, its own widgets, and its own private render URL, so a starting-soon screen and a live gameplay overlay stay independent of each other. You can save up to 10 scenes, and the studio stops offering new ones once you reach that limit.

Start from a template in Creator workspace → Studio → Scene templates, then add or hide widgets until the scene matches what you need. A template is only a starting point; every widget can be moved, scaled, relabelled, or turned off afterwards.

Scene templates

• Primary tip alert — the tip alert with a running total, top supporters, a goal, and a QR code. The general-purpose overlay for a live scene.
• Subscriber alerts — Twitch and Kick subscription activity on its own, for creators who already have a tip alert elsewhere.
• Subscriber goal — a subscriber count tracked against a target, with the subscription alert beside it.
• YouTube subscribers — your channel's subscriber count, on its own or against a goal.
• Latest supporters — a calm summary of the running total and recent supporters, made for a starting-soon or break screen.
• Simple text — a panel of your own words: rules, a schedule, a shout-out.
• Support QR — the tip-page QR code as a full break-screen call to action.

Scene formats

Choose the format that matches the browser source you will add in OBS. The canvas is fixed at these dimensions, and you can override the width and height per scene under Canvas.

• Landscape · 16:9 — 1920 × 1080. The default for a desktop stream.
• Portrait · 9:16 — 1080 × 1920. For vertical and mobile-first streams.
• Square · 1:1 — 1080 × 1080. Useful for a corner overlay or a break card.

Widgets you can add to any scene

Templates differ only in which widgets start visible. Every scene can carry any of these.

Tip alert

The animated moment when a tip arrives. Choose the full card or the compact single-line bar, pick a spring, fade, or no animation, and set how long it stays on screen. Stick tip keeps the most recent tip up until the next one arrives.

Two switches control what supporters can put on your stream. Show tip message decides whether their words appear at all, and Filter profanity replaces flagged words with stars before the overlay draws them. Both are set per scene, so a strict scene and a relaxed one can run side by side. The original message is always stored intact and stays readable under Tips.

Subscriber alert

New subscriptions, renewals, and gift subscriptions from a connected Twitch or Kick channel. Connect the channel first under Settings → Integration; the widget has nothing to show without it.

Total tips

A running total for today, this week, or this month, with the window named under the figure.

Top supporters

A live leaderboard of between 1 and 16 supporters, three by default. Past eight names the list splits into two columns.

Goal

Progress towards a goal you created in Goals. Only goals set to show on the overlay appear here, and a goal reaching its target celebrates on the scene when that goal has celebration turned on.

Subscriber goal

A subscriber count against a target between 1 and 1,000,000. Two modes:

• Gained in a window counts the subscribers your selected channels gained today, this week, or this month. Renewals are not new subscribers, so they are left out.
• Channel total reads the standing subscriber count. Only Twitch reports one, so a Kick channel adds nothing in this mode.

YouTube subscribers

Your YouTube channel's subscriber count, with an optional goal. YouTube pushes no events, so this is a polled count rather than an alert. See Show your YouTube subscriber count.

QR code

Your tip page as a scannable code. The full version is a framed card with a label and the readable link; the compact version is the code alone.

Text panel

Up to 2,000 characters of your own words, with your line breaks kept exactly as you type them. The panel is hidden on stream while it is empty.

Put a scene together

1. Open Creator workspace → Studio and choose a template, or create an empty scene.
2. Set the scene name and format.
3. Show the widgets you want under Scene widgets, and hide the rest.
4. Drag each widget to position it, and use a corner to scale it.
5. Adjust the selected widget's own settings under Properties.
6. Save the scene to create its private browser-source URL.

Use the test actions in the scene editor to fire a sample tip or subscription and check the layout before you go live. Then follow Connect WeTip to OBS to add the scene as a browser source.

Pick scenes per moment, not per stream

Because each scene is a separate browser source, most creators keep a small set rather than one crowded overlay: a QR or supporter-feed scene for starting soon and breaks, a quiet alert-only scene for gameplay, and a goal scene for a push night. Switching scenes in OBS then costs nothing, and each layout stays readable.
