baseLINE · Twitch & OBS Setup

Twitch placements and OBS Browser Sources are different connections. Set up the ones your channel needs.

Panel Setup

The Panel appears below your stream in a panel slot (where you put About, Schedule, etc.). This is the primary surface for viewer interaction.

Enable the Panel

1. Go to your Twitch Creator Dashboard.
2. Navigate to Content → Extensions.
3. Find baseLINE in My Extensions.
4. Click Activate and select Panel.
5. The panel now appears below your stream for all viewers.

Open Twitch Extension Manager ↗ · Then choose My Extensions → baseLINE → Configure.

What Viewers See

• The baseLINE extension experience enabled by the streamer.
• Twitch Bits options, if the streamer has enabled the available Bits products.
• Optional on-chain features are separate; never connect a wallet just to use Twitch Bits.

What You See (When Logged In)

• Open the baseLINE streamer dashboard at /stream for streamer tools.
• Open the wallet page at /wallet for wallet tools and supported balance information.
• Do not share a private key, recovery phrase, or one-time sign-in code with anyone.

Optional OBS Browser Source

This is a separate website Browser Source, not Twitch’s Video Overlay placement. It displays this channel’s eligible crypto-tip alerts. The full Browser Source canvas is transparent; while idle it does not cover gameplay. An alert card appears only when an eligible event arrives. Twitch Bits effects remain inside Twitch and are not shown by this source.

Set up your channel-specific source

1. In OBS, right-click Sources → Add → Browser.
2. Name it baseLINE Alerts.
3. In Twitch Creator Dashboard → Extensions → My Extensions, open baseLINE’s authorized Configure page and copy your channel-specific OBS link. Do not construct or borrow a URL manually.
4. Paste that link into the Browser Source URL field. Set width and height to match your OBS canvas (for example, 1920 × 1080).
5. In the OBS Sources list, move baseLINE above Game Capture so alerts render in front. Keep any always-on elements you want above alerts higher in the list.
6. Click OK and check that the idle source leaves the game visible. The page background is transparent; the alert card is the only visible panel.

Use the link from your own authorized Configure page. It identifies a channel’s alert stream; it is not a wallet key or broadcaster sign-in. Do not reuse another channel’s link or treat this URL as a secret signing credential.

Configure in Streamlabs

1. In Streamlabs, go to Sources → + → Browser Source.
2. Paste your own channel-specific link copied from Twitch’s authorized baseLINE Configure page.
3. Match the source dimensions to your canvas, then place the source above your game capture.

Customize the Twitch player

In Twitch’s authorized baseLINE Configure page, choose one of the offered color themes and font styles, and enable or disable the fixed Bits experiences. Those settings are saved for the broadcaster and supplied to that channel’s Twitch extension surfaces. OBS alert presentation is separate.

Component Setup

The Twitch Component is rendered inside the Twitch player. Activate the Component placement from Twitch’s extension controls; it does not require OBS.

Enable the Component

1. Go to your Twitch Creator Dashboard.
2. Navigate to Content → Extensions.
3. Find baseLINE and click Activate.
4. Select Component as the surface.

Use Twitch’s placement controls to choose the position and availability for your channel. Preview the extension in Twitch before going live.

Twitch Video Overlay

This is a Twitch extension placement drawn over the Twitch video player. Enable it from Twitch’s extension controls. It is not an OBS Browser Source and does not need to be added to your OBS Sources list.

Mobile Setup

The Twitch mobile experience is separate from OBS. Twitch determines when and where its mobile extension placement is available; the baseLINE mobile page does not add a source to your broadcast scene.

Troubleshooting

OBS Browser Source is blank

• Copy the complete OBS link again from your own broadcaster-authorized baseLINE Configure page. Do not edit or guess the channel ID.
• Confirm you added a Browser Source in OBS, not the Twitch Video Overlay placement.
• Set the source dimensions to your canvas, then refresh the Browser Source.
• Check the OBS Sources order: baseLINE must be above Game Capture to draw in front.

Panel doesn't appear below my stream

• Confirm the extension is activated on the Panel surface.
• Check that you have panel slots available on your channel.
• Some panels are hidden behind a "panel fold" — viewers may need to scroll.

Alerts aren't showing

• Confirm you copied the channel-specific URL while Twitch authorized your Configure page.
• Check that the Browser Source is online and belongs to the channel you are testing.
• The OBS source is for eligible crypto-tip alerts. Twitch Bits effects stay within Twitch and are not sent to OBS.
• Do not send a real payment just to test scene layering.
