How to Add Stream Labels on Streamlabs

calendar1 Last Updated

Stream labels are labels with automated text on a streamer’s screen that changes when an action occurs (such as a new follower). They are commonly used as reminders for viewers to subscribe, follow, or donate. They can be edited within your broadcasting software to match your brand's colors to help them stand out. 

You can also position stream labels to fit over your favorite overlay display and identify each label type to appeal to your audience visually. You can edit the font size of the txt files that cone through the output directory or even place them near other Streamlabs widgets you use.

This article will cover how you can create stream labels on Streamlabs to celebrate your community in a new way.

You can do this by clicking the login button on the lower left-hand side of your screen.

    • Fonts – You can choose which font you want and adjust the font size so that it looks perfect for your channel.
