Bold Chat

A chunky, high-contrast Twitch chat and alerts feed built to stay readable on busy streams.

Works with
  • Twitch
  • StreamElements
  • Any streaming software with browser source

What it doesv1.1.0

Bold Chat is for streams that want clarity without disappearing into a generic pastel box. Large cards, hard edges, and deliberate contrast keep messages readable at a glance while giving the overlay a confident visual identity.

Chat and alerts share one flexible feed. Use the whole system together, switch off alerts for a dedicated chat overlay, or disable chat and keep a compact event feed. Colors, typography, avatar treatment, event styling, filters, timing, and sound slots can all be adjusted in StreamElements.

How it works

  1. 01
    Chat arrives

    Twitch messages become large, high-contrast cards that are easy to read while you stream.

  2. 02
    Alerts use the same feed

    Enabled follows, subscriptions, raids, cheers, tips, and redemptions appear alongside chat or on their own.

  3. 03
    Cards clear automatically

    Choose the feed direction, how long cards stay visible, and how many can appear at once.

  4. 04
    Make every card yours

    Adjust colors, avatars, icons, message wording, sounds, and the look of each alert type.
