Konduit shows its alerts, chat and subs on stream through a Browser Source you add in OBS. You copy the address from the Overlays page and paste it into OBS.
Before you start
- Sign in to Konduit. While you are signed out the sources are not available.
- OBS has to run on the same computer as Konduit. The address is a local (localhost) address, so OBS on another computer cannot reach it. It contains no account credential.
Set it up
- In Konduit, open Overlays.
- Under OBS Browser Source, choose Copy URL next to Standard. The Standard source is 1920 × 1080 and carries alerts, chat and subscriptions in one layout.
- In OBS, add a Browser Source to your scene, paste the URL, and set the width to 1920 and the height to 1080.
- Back in Konduit, choose Send test next to Standard. The test should appear in OBS and Konduit shows Browser Source test sent.
Do this once while Konduit is running: that first load is what lets the source recover on its own later. After that, the order you open the apps does not matter. If Konduit is closed, the source waits quietly and reconnects by itself when Konduit comes back.
Use separate sources instead
The same panel lists separate Alert, Chat and Subscription sources, included on every plan. Use them if you want to place each overlay yourself.
- Choose Copy URL on the row you want and paste it into its own Browser Source in OBS.
- Set that Browser Source's size in OBS to match the overlay's Width and Height on the Overlays page. The defaults are 800 × 320 for the Alert Overlay and the Sub Overlay, and 420 × 720 for the Chat Overlay.
- Choose Test on that row to check it.
Show or hide an overlay
Each overlay card (Alert Overlay, Chat Overlay, Sub Overlay) has a switch in its top corner. On, the card reads Active. Off, it reads Hidden: that overlay stops showing in OBS and its sound stops too. The rest of Konduit keeps working.
Try it out
Each overlay card has a live preview with its own test buttons, such as + Test fire on the Alert Overlay and the Sub Overlay, and Test message on the Chat Overlay. Use them to check how an overlay looks while you change its settings.
What you'll see
The status at the top of the OBS Browser Source panel tells you what is going on:
- Ready · waiting for OBS means Konduit is ready but no source is open in OBS yet.
- Live with a count means OBS has that many sources open.
- Unavailable means the local source did not start. Reopen Konduit.
If it doesn't work
- Open the source in OBS before sending a test. means no Browser Source with that URL is open in OBS yet. Add it in OBS first, then test again.
- If Konduit says a port was busy and the source moved to a new port, choose Copy URL again and paste the new URL into your existing Browser Source in OBS.
- If a row shows Not available right now, make sure you are signed in.
- If a test shows in Konduit but not on stream, right-click the Browser Source in OBS and choose "Refresh".
