What it does
If you stream to more than one platform, your viewers are talking in more than one place. This widget pulls every chat into a single box, so you read one feed and your viewers see one conversation.
- Every platform in one chat. Each message carries a badge for Twitch, YouTube, Kick or TikTok, so you always know where it came from.
- Usernames, timestamps and emotes. Each message shows who sent it and when, with emotes as images.
- Roles look different. Broadcaster, mod, VIP, subscriber, follower and regular messages each get their own style.
- Alerts in the same box. Animated alerts show up in the chat, with a color for each event type.
Pick your layout
You choose how the chat sits on your screen. Run it as a column down the side, as a strip along the bottom, or fullscreen. In fullscreen, older messages fade out step by step so the newest one stays in focus. There are 5 layout modes in total, and you can change the message limit and how long messages stay up.
Twitch GIFs, right in chat
When a viewer sends a GIF with Twitch's GIF button, it shows inside their chat message. You can turn GIFs on or off and set their size, quality and who can post them in the widget's GIF Settings.
Who it is for
It is built for multistreamers, and for anyone adding YouTube, Kick or TikTok to a Twitch stream. If you only stream on Twitch, a Twitch chat widget like the Neon Glow Chat and Goal Widget is the simpler fit.
What you need
- A free StreamElements account
- OBS Studio or Streamlabs
- Your YouTube channel connected for live streams in StreamElements, for YouTube chat
- Your Kick channel name, for Kick chat
- The free TikFinity app, for TikTok chat and gifts
How it sets up
- Open your personal one-click install link and log in with StreamElements. The link creates a brand-new overlay, so your existing scenes stay as they are.
- Add the overlay as a Browser Source in OBS or Streamlabs.
- Connect YouTube, Kick and TikTok by following the included PDF guide.
- Customize the colors, layout and alert styles.
What you should see: a message you send in any connected chat appears in the widget, with that platform's badge.
If a chat does not show up:
- Check that the platform is connected in StreamElements or TikFinity, as the PDF guide shows.
- Refresh the Browser Source in OBS or Streamlabs.
- For Kick, check the channel name is spelled the way it appears on Kick.
One thing to know
GIFs are a Twitch chat feature, so YouTube, Kick and TikTok messages stay text. TikTok chat comes through the free TikFinity app, which connects to TikTok unofficially.

FAQ
Which platforms does it support?
Twitch, YouTube, Kick, and TikTok chat and gifts through the free TikFinity app, all in one widget.
Do I need to know how to code?
No. The one-click install link sets everything up inside your StreamElements account. The code files are included as a backup.
Will it change my existing OBS scenes?
No. The one-click install creates a new overlay in StreamElements and leaves your scenes as they are.
What do I need for YouTube and Kick chat?
