Hey, This is Dustin from Streamlabs
Today I’m going to show you how to set up
the Stream Boss widget using Streamlabs OBS.
The Stream Boss Widget is an awesome way to
get your viewers to interact with the stream,
and keeps them tuned in to see what happens
on stream, and also to what happens to the
Stream Boss.
A Stream Boss is chosen when someone Tips,
follows, subscribes, or cheers on your channel.
Once chosen, other viewers can interact with
the stream to slowly chip away at the stream
boss’s health to be declared the new stream
boss.
To use this feature, first open Streamlabs
OBS, then navigate to your dashboard tab,
and find “Stream Boss” under widgets.
Once there, you will be able to manage the
battle, and edit the settings of the widget.
The starting health will determine how long
the battle will go on for.
Let’s say this is being used on a small
channel, and you want the boss to change regularly.
Because of this, we will set the health to
2000.
Below the starting health is the Mode, allowing
for multipliers and health additions upon
a new Stream Boss being chosen.
For now, let's keep this on Fixed
Next, let's click on settings.
This is where you can adjust the amount of
damage each interaction will deal to the Boss.
You can edit these values to change the importance
of each interaction on your channel.
The fade time is the amount of time after
a new interaction is made that the Boss health
will show on screen.
We want this to be an important part of stream,
so lets make the fade time zero, to always
have it showing.
Next will be the theme and Kill animation.
These allow for you to choose between multiple
styles of health bars, and animations that
play after the boss is defeated.
Next we can change the Background, text, and
health bar colors as well as the font to better
match your stream.
And if you or a friend have knowledge in HTML,
CSS, and Javascript you can make further edits
here.
Now that we have everything set-up, let's
save our settings and go to the editor.
Once in the editor tab, next to sources, click
the plus sign and then select “Stream Boss”.
Change the name to what you want and click
“Add New Source”.
Now you can edit the size and position of
your “Stream Boss” Widget and your viewers
can begin battle.
