Chat Overlay

Readability first.
Less noise, more stream context.

Your most important chat features are highlighted and show directly what they change in the overlay.

Core Features

The things that really change your overlay get more weight and direct feedback.

Recommended for active chats
Context Mode
Multiple messages from the same user are bundled into one card. Makes conversations much easier to read.
Recommended
StreamerKuma: How's it going with you today?
+2 more messages from the same user
Ideal for conversation flow over spam
Smart Grouping
Short identical messages like GG, LOL or o7 are collected instead of shown individually.
High Impact
GG × 7
o7 × 3
Strong during hype moments and emote floods

Priority Feed

A separate streamer-only overlay that highlights important chat moments: @mentions, new viewers, returning regulars, and more.

Priority Feed Overlay
Shows a curated feed of high-signal chat events so nothing important slips past during a busy stream.
Streamer-Only
@Mentions · New viewers · Returning regulars · Mod alerts

Overlay Mode

Choose whether all channels appear together in one overlay or each channel gets its own window.

Omni-Window
All channels in one shared overlay. Perfect for shared chat, collabs and a compact HUD.
Recommended
Best for collab streams
Multi-Window
Each channel gets its own overlay window. Ideal when you want to keep individual chats separate.

Best for advanced setups

      Actionable Insights for your next stream · Claude
      1
      Explain the build setup actively in stream. 23 questions in 4 minutes show: your chat wants to understand this. A dedicated "Build Segment" early in the stream could strongly improve retention.
      2
      Bridge lull phases after the game ends. At 03:31 you lose 38% interaction because no new game starts. A short Q&A or shoutout moment keeps chat active.
      3
      Use clip moments actively. All 3 clips were created without you pointing it out. A quick "Clip that!" at the next clutch could double your reach.
      4
      New viewers only stay for 28 minutes. This is the critical time window – strengthen welcome mechanics or a "who are you" round in hour 1.
