How do I show a rolling live chat on my video?

Use Live Chat to display a stack of incoming messages.

Before you start

Open the intended collection and prepare sample content for a rehearsal. Confirm the controls are available in your installed version.

Where to find it

Sources > Add > Live Chat.

Steps

Connect the broadcast chat and confirm messages in Platform Chat.
Add Live Chat and choose a message template.
Set the intended layout/broadcast and free/paid filters.
Arrange the canvas, turn Demo messages off and Save and Close.
Check real messages in the production scene.

Check the result

Matching messages appear as a rolling stack.

Helpful information

This differs from selecting one Platform Chat message with Add to Broadcast. Live Chat uses the connected feed and does not connect an arbitrary external broadcast by itself.

If something is wrong

Check chat connection, layout/broadcast filter, both category checkboxes, source visibility and matching incoming messages.
