How do I automatically show viewer chat on screen?

Display incoming matching chat without selecting each message yourself.

Before you start

Prepare a Platform Chat source and a connected broadcast that supplies chat.

Where to find it

Platform Chat > Settings.

Steps

  1. Select the prepared source as the base template.
  2. Enable Automatically put chat on screen.
  3. Set show time, chat type and platforms, then Save and Close.
  4. Start the broadcast and check a newly arriving matching message.
  5. To hold one message, use Add to Broadcast manually; remove it to let automatic selection resume.

Check the result

Matching messages appear one by one and clear after the selected time.

Helpful information

Automatic display does not replay existing history. Review paid/member routing and platform choices after changing outputs. Disabling it clears waiting automatic messages.

If something is wrong

If the switch is unavailable, select a base source already added to a scene. If display pauses, check templates and turn it off and on.
