Most alert tools wire your alerts to platform events — and then a follow alert misfires over your clutch play, or a raid card lags thirty seconds behind the raid. Kloot alerts work the other way: YOU are the trigger. You build styled cards for the moments that matter, pin them to your deck, and fire each one the second it happens — so the alert and your on-mic reaction land together. Here is how to build your set, on the real panel and the real overlay.
You set it up here
Fire it yourself — the real overlay
What you’ll build
A saved set of styled alert cards — raid welcome, goal hit, shout-out, heads-up — each one press away, playing for its duration and clearing itself.
Paste your single Kloot overlay URL into one Browser source in OBS and size it to your canvas. That one source powers your alerts and every other Kloot tool — you never add another browser source.
Already have Kloot in OBS from another tool? Skip this — alerts ride the source you already added.
Open the Alerts tool, add an alert, and name it for the moment it marks — “Raid Hype”, “Goal hit”. Then tap a preset: Info, Success, Warning, Error, or Celebration. One tap themes the background, text, border, and icon together, and the quick-start templates fill in sample text you can overwrite.
Set the title (up to 40 characters) and the body (up to 120) — short enough to read in two seconds, because that is all the time it gets. Pick the icon from the emoji library: 🎉 for the raid card, ✅ for the goal, 📣 for the shout-out.
Write it in your voice, not template-speak. “Welcome raiders — grab a seat 🎉” beats “New raid detected.”
Choose the font, override any of the color channels (or keep the preset defaults), pick a shape — rounded, pill, or full-width banner — and set the position. Top-center is the default for a reason: visible, never over the action.
Give the card a duration from 1 to 30 seconds — 5 is the sweet spot for hype cards — and it clears itself when time is up. Or flip it to ∞ for an always-on card you dismiss yourself, which is the right mode for status notes like “starting 10 late”.
Pin the alert to a deck key. When the moment happens — the raid lands, the goal ticks over — press the key as you call it on mic. The card plays, clears itself, and is ready to fire again. Save up to five alerts so every regular moment is one press.
Your deck runs on your phone too, so you can fire the raid card from the couch on IRL nights.
No bot, no event wiring — you are the trigger. Here’s the whole loop, from the moment happening to the card clearing itself.
A raid lands. A goal hits. A clip pops off. You are the first to know — not a webhook, not a chat bot. That is the whole design: the person on mic decides what deserves the screen.
One press and the card slides in, top-center. No bot, no event wiring, nothing to misfire over a clutch play — which means the alert and your reaction land together, exactly when you say it on mic.
The card holds for the seconds you set — 5 by default, up to 30 — then exits on its own. You never babysit it. Flip a card to ∞ and it stays until you dismiss it, for status notes rather than hype.
Keep up to five alerts saved — raid welcome, goal hit, shout-out, heads-up — each with its own text, preset, and duration. The card you build tonight is one press away every stream after.
An alert is you deciding a moment deserves the screen. The ones streamers save a card for:
When: Another streamer sends their room to yours mid-sentence.
Why it works: You fire the welcome card as you say it on mic — the greeting on screen and the greeting in your voice are the same moment, not a bot lagging behind it.
When: A follower goal, a sub goal, or a donation target ticks over.
Why it works: A Success card marks it the second you call it. The room gets a shared “we did it” beat instead of a number quietly changing somewhere.
When: A mod’s birthday, clip of the day, a regular hitting a milestone of their own.
Why it works: These moments have no event to wire — only you know they matter. A saved shout-out card makes recognizing people a one-press habit.
When: “Audio fixed?”, “starting 10 late”, “last round then ranked”.
Why it works: The Warning and Error presets read as signal, not hype. Set one to ∞ and it holds until the situation is actually resolved.
Celebration, Success, Warning, Info — every preview below is the real overlay renderer your viewers see, motion replaying, ready to restyle.
Deep purple, 🎉, built for the loudest moment of the night.
A raid crashes in and you fire the welcome as you shout it. The card plays its five seconds and clears itself — no bot deciding the timing, no misfire over your reaction.
One press fires it on cueGreen and unambiguous: something you were chasing just landed.
The follower goal ticks over mid-game. You press the key, call it on mic, and the room gets a shared win — then the card leaves on its own while you keep playing.
Plays its duration, clears itselfAmber signal for the room (or for you): something needs a beat.
“Starting 10 minutes late” or “is my audio back?” — fire it, leave it up while it matters. Flip the duration to ∞ and it holds until you dismiss it yourself.
Set 1–30s — or ∞ until you clear itCalm blue for the things you say every stream anyway.
Clip of the day, schedule note, “drops enabled tonight” — the recurring announcements you save once and fire whenever they come up on mic.
Saved cards fire again next streamTop-center by default — visible without covering the action. Move it to any of nine zones, and near-simultaneous fires stack cleanly.
No — by design. Kloot never wires alerts to platform events, so nothing pops over a clutch play and nothing lags behind the moment. You fire each alert from your deck the second it happens, which means the card and your on-mic reaction land together. You stay in control of your own screen.
Yes. Start from one of the five presets (Info, Success, Warning, Error, Celebration), then override anything: background, text, body, border, and icon colors, the font, the shape (rounded, pill, or banner), the text size, the motion, and the position. Or keep a preset as-is — they are tuned to read on stream.
You choose, per alert: 1 to 30 seconds, and it clears itself with its exit motion — no babysitting. Flip the duration to ∞ and the card stays until you dismiss it, which suits status notes (“audio fixed?”, “starting late”) better than hype cards.
No. Alerts live on your one Kloot overlay URL and fire from your deck — there is nothing to install, no platform to wire up, and it works identically on Twitch, YouTube, Kick, or an IRL setup.
They stack cleanly instead of overlapping — each card takes its own slot in the zone, plays its own duration, and clears independently.
