Chat widget
Bold Chat
A chunky, high-contrast Twitch chat and alerts feed built to stay readable on busy streams.
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
- 01Chat arrives
Twitch messages become large, high-contrast cards that are easy to read while you stream.
- 02Alerts use the same feed
Enabled follows, subscriptions, raids, cheers, tips, and redemptions appear alongside chat or on their own.
- 03Cards clear automatically
Choose the feed direction, how long cards stay visible, and how many can appear at once.
- 04Make every card yours
Adjust colors, avatars, icons, message wording, sounds, and the look of each alert type.
