Custom Alerts with Streamer.Bot 0.2.2 - Step-by-Step

Here's a concise step-by-step guide to making simple, customized alerts that look and sound like StreamElements, StreamLabs, or whatever you desire. I promise you this is both briskly paced and easy to follow. Trust in the Red Arrows.

I did my best to highlight critical info and afford you moments to pause when you need to copy or check your work vs. mine. I did this with Streamer.Bot v0.2.2 (so it has the Triggers pane) and OBS 30.

You'll need Streamer.Bot installed and set-up for this video; here's SB's own very quick videos to get that done for you if you're not there yet!

If you want to use the zoom-in/zoom-out I use for the alerts pop-in, you'll need the movement plugin.

Finally, an easy-to-understand, step-by-step tutorial that is tailored to my level of ignorance.

Hey there, I'm streaming for about 4 years now and watched many many tutorials in my career, but this one is for real one of the best tutorials I ever watched! Keep it up man. 💪

[nafscub]

Good day. Wonderfully done. Echo what others have said, watched a lot over the years and this covers it all in a clear and concise manner. Many thanks

Popping in a week later to say I made all the things and have all the alerts now! Works like a charm! ^_^ (I will have to reach out about one minor weird thing involving video media for the alerts but we can talk about that at some point)

[wisteriaromance]

This is SO well presented and easy to follow. THANK YOU. I'm going to be using this tutorial for my own alerts!

Brilliant video. I'm so impressed with how well you explained everything. And seeing you do things in such a practical way (such as duplicating show/hide sub-actions and then adding the delay afterwards) demonstrates the "real-life" experience you have that only comes in time with using the program. I was surprised how many tidbits I learned along the way, such as the difference in capitalisation of user and username variables, ability to copy/paste OBS transition settings. Enjoyed the video a lot, thank you!

This video was easy to follow and well explained. Makes it easy to move on and work out other use cases. Great job!

[ekkotronic]

Absolutely the best tutorial for alerts I've seen. Thank you for putting this together!

[cowbanchalam]

I've got a busy day today. Only started using Streamer.bot yesterday. I'll be copying your tutorial before branching out.
Many, many thanks 👍

Brilliant!
Homework completed . Works a dream

[angellr]

This is wonderful. It is so rare to find simple straightforward instructions. Thank you so much!!

[daira.riv]

FINALLY OMG. It took me FIVE days to find SOMEONE that had a video outlining step-by-step how to do this. I was so confused (I know nothing about coding, tech, etc.). Thank you so much!

[Hyacsho]

FINALLY! A step by step, easy to understand, not added fluff, thank you so much for this, please make more haha

Playing Space Debris in the background... nice very nice.

[Magaso]

Thank you man!! I've been redoing my stream and wanted to get away from stream elements and use streamerbot exclusively for awhile now. This helps a LOT!

[AMightyTank]

Love the tutorial made it alot easier to understand, was even about to add my own spin on it in my stream, thanks for the hard work

[talladay]

Boom Boom Boom - so concise, quick, straight to it! Thank You! Well Done!

[cheesecat]

Ive seen DOZENS of streamer bot videos and they all give me a little peice of info i need. this was clear easy to understand and thorough. Teaching the mechanics and use cases. Just thank you sub friggen scribed

[nrabigblackgaming]

im so glad I finally found this video YOU ARE THE GOAT FOR THIS ONE

[phantysmotv]

Thank you for this. I'll definitely watch future videos!

[BrownCookieBoy]

Great tutorial!
I was about to ask "What if you have several scenes and want to use the same alert?" but I think I figured it out!
You basically want to duplicate the visible/hidden actions and place them at the same location for all scenes.
But perhaps there is a smarter global way of doing it.
