Accurate to released and documented SheevChat capabilities · Reviewed October 29, 2026

Overlay tools available to creators

  • Visual canvas editing for multiple widgets in one scene-ready layout.
  • Chat, events, viewers, alerts, giveaways, clips, media, credits, text, images, and supported built-in widgets.
  • Reusable themes, animation settings, and Master Overlay switching.
  • Persistent local browser-source and dock URLs for OBS.
  • Installable Marketplace widgets and compatible themes for your saved overlays.

Build once, trigger from the stream

Show an overlay in response to a command, reward, follow, raid, timer, giveaway, chat game, or SheevPad button. For games and giveaways, the overlay displays the results managed by SheevChat rather than choosing winners or changing rewards.

OBS-friendly delivery

Copy the overlay URL from SheevChat into an OBS Browser Source and keep SheevChat running while it is in use. Your layouts stay on your computer. For overlays with sound, check the Browser Source audio and monitoring settings in OBS.

Who this is—and is not—for

Good fit

  • Creators who want visual layout without hand-writing HTML and CSS
  • Streams tying alerts, chat, media, giveaways or games to automation
  • OBS users who prefer local browser sources and reusable themes

Look elsewhere when

  • A hosted overlay that remains available while the SheevChat PC is off
  • Running untrusted executable code inside Marketplace widgets
  • Treating visual widgets as authoritative for loyalty, game outcomes, or moderation

Put it into practice

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to code an overlay?

No for built-in widgets and the visual Overlay Builder. Developer documentation is available if you want to create your own Marketplace widget.

How does OBS display a SheevChat overlay?

Add the persistent local browser-source URL supplied by SheevChat to an OBS Browser Source.

Can Marketplace widgets change built-in widgets?

No. Installing a Marketplace widget or theme does not change how the built-in widgets work.
