Awesome! Your tutorial on streaming from the ps4 pushed me to go live for the first time, now I can have a little flair for those first follows/subs. ✌
If you are specifically streaming just through console and twitch, no extensions or any kind of 3rd party this wont work. so sound alerts are off the table if you dont have a pc
That's the point of the twitch extension, so you can get overlays without needing OBS. Just like in the video i was streaming directly from the console to twitch. The twitch extension puts these over top of the twitch browser when someone is watching. Granted, they don't show up on mobile devices, but as a console streamer you have to take any thing you can get.
Unfortunately not with this method. However I’m working on a video for OverlayExpert. It has a little more flexibility. If you want to check that out before the video is finished just google OverlayExpert
Unfortunately streaming straight from the ps4 doesn’t allow you to have ‘scenes’ to switch around. That requires a pc and some type of software like obs or Streamlabs. With the ps4 you’re just really sending the ps4 video to twitch with nothing in between such as obs or Streamlabs. However if you do find a decent pc or laptop, I have a video on streaming the ps4 to the pc without a capture card. And then you can use whatever software you want and all the overlays you can throw at it. That video is here: th-cam.com/video/HpgOiE8NyTY/w-d-xo.html

@@ChowlbPlays oh yeah you are a big help. If can ever get my stream up. I would like to link your “how to set up streams videos in my channel” with your permission of course 🙏🏿

@@ASofterSide it’s separate from the gameplay, but the video feed to twitch it’s all integrated. When you go to set up your ps4 stream you can actually move the face cam and add a chroma key if you’re using a green screen.

Yeah it’s not the absolute best solution but for console only streaming it does add a lot of interactivity for viewers seeing their name and messages on the stream. Nothing is ever going to feed back into your console for viewing even using obs you have to have another way to watch chat/alerts.
Hi , thanks for a great video. Is there any way of having alerts when streaming ps4 to TH-cam through the ps4. My pc can't handle on and streaming so until I get a new pc I need to stream through ps4 and was hoping to add alerts..hope you can help. Thanks

@@NoMoreNoobie NO problem! i'm sure as youtube becomes a more viable streaming platform since mixer is shut down, they will start to integrate more into it. It is Google.

Thanks for the video but when I’m trying to follow with twitch apps on the phone after follow its not showing the overlay on the app and just shows the overlay on my pc ?
So after some research, it seems that extensions do not show on the mobile apps. This is a twitch restriction and not the extension itself. I wasn’t aware of that.
ok but will the alerts still show up on the tv if im streaming from the ps4 or the xbox one x??? or is it only on a laptop or PC?? and never mind lol i just got my answer if it pops up on the tv
I’m not sure these alerts have sound on this extension. There is another extension though that allows a lot more customization and sounds. I did a video on that one here th-cam.com/video/I3fiRCSjBPU/w-d-xo.html
Yea I think so. You mean when you make it ‘active’ it says it needs configuration? If so then that’s ok. Just click the cog wheel to configure it with one of the templates.
I believe you have to be a ‘pro’ subscriber to Own3d for donation alerts. Then they give you a link to put on your page for donations. That link is what triggers the donation alert for them. I looked everywhere for a way to link PayPal but didn’t see one with my free account.
You might try going to twitch.tv and requesting the desktop site. I’m not sure if that will let you enable extensions though. It may be a desktop only thing.
I don’t believe there are sounds for this one. But I did a video on OverlayExpert which allows sounds and even full overlays for consoles. If you feel like checking it out here it is: th-cam.com/video/I3fiRCSjBPU/w-d-xo.html
@@31Shesterkin I’m not too sure. There may be an extension for music? I kinda get scared with playing music because of the whole copyright issues the past couple of years.
That seems like they might have been having issues with their servers. Give a bit and try again. If you’re still frustrated check out my latest video on OverlayExpert. You can do overlays AND alerts from it. Pretty snazzy.
For some reason ever since i've posted this video the 'test' green screen has never worked again. That doesn't mean it's not working on your stream, just not on their test web page.
Not a ton of customization with these alerts. If you really want to customize alerts and overlays, check out my latest video on overlay expert where you can totally customize pretty much everything. Video is here: th-cam.com/video/I3fiRCSjBPU/w-d-xo.html

If you were watching the stream on your movie device then it shouldn’t pop. There is an FAQ on this exact thing on the Own3d.tv site saying they currently do not support twitch mobile extensions. Bit of a bummer.
@@ddr_h4rvey253 On your ipad are you using the twitch app? or are you using the website. I'm curious how twitch is determining mobile or not, if it's based off screen resolution or screen size.
I’ve been having issues with this service over the past month. I’m actually working on another video that will hopefully address some of these issues. As long as it’s set up right, it may still work on the stream and not just the preview window.
@@Likerawprey that’s a good question. I’m not sure what network it shows the donations from. And I’ve never had any donos to test with. You may have to register donations with own3d.
Hey man great video! I’ve done everything in the video but it still doesn’t work. Only the chat notification worked but then I tried to fix it and now none of it works, anything I’m able to do?
These only work when watching the stream from a pc or a mobile browser in desktop mode. They don't show on the twitch app at all (that's a twitch decision for now). Just to make sure when you go to your extensions, it is set at Overlay-1 correct? and You have it configured properly?
@@ChowlbPlays yeah it’s overlay 1 and that makes sense. I typically only have about 2-5 viewers but whenever I’ve asked if it worked to the chat they say no so I was confused but I’ll try to go back and fix it thank you!
If they're viewing the stream on the mobile app, then unfortunately twitch extensions don't show. They require a full browser like a desktop in order to display.
@@MissLibra94 totally understand, but it's really the only free options available. There is another with Overlay expert as well, but it has the same mobile short comings.
okay console streamer here, i have it showing the Followers, and Subs, but for Donations Alert, how does that work? how does the Alertbox know if someone is donating to you if you have a paypal link to donations in your profile? is there something special i have to link for the Donation Notification to come up on the stream ? I dont think its ganna show if someone Donates because i have a Donation Button that Donates to my Paypal ?
I’m not 100% sure you can do donations. I don’t think there is a way to link your PayPal account to Own3d. There is another extension called overlay expert that has donation alerts as well, but I think they don’t use PayPal either. I think it might be stripe. That being said I’m not positive any of the twitch extensions handle donation alerts. If you want to check out overlay expert, I’ve got a tutorial on it here: th-cam.com/video/I3fiRCSjBPU/w-d-xo.html
Did it not pop up on your stream or on the test page? If you're on the stream, do you see the little extension box on the far right? If you do, click on that and make sure "visible" is turned on.
Unfortunately twitch doesn’t allow any extensions on the mobile app. It’s a difference of an extension highjacking the web browser for twitch.tv and not being able to inject code into the mobile application. Hoping one day twitch will allow it.
For this one you cannot add sounds, you may be able to if you're a premium member. However there is another video I did on OverlayExpert that is fully customizable down to the sounds and gifs for alerts. if you want to see that video it's here: th-cam.com/video/I3fiRCSjBPU/w-d-xo.html
That extension has become very finicky. I’m actually wrapping up some editing on another video for alerts and overlays from OverlayExpert. That video will definitely come out this week. If you want to wait on that one or go check out OverlayExpert.com
What screen does it get hung up on. I don’t think it will let you activate it until it’s configured. You could also try signing out and back into twitch and see if that works.
Hey thank you!! I think the donations are linked to Own3d.tv for those using their donation links. I could be wrong. How are you getting donations? PayPal?
@@nicholascribs1942 I’m not certain that the own3d extension is connected to PayPal in any way. I think you have to use their donation system. But I’ve never tested donations because let’s face it, we’re all broke streamers with a dream!
Hey so it keeps telling me I need to configure and grant permission. It won’t let me set as overlay 1. Am I doing something wrong? Not sure if anyone else is having this problem. What do I do?
@@ChowlbPlays I was able to figure it out m. It depends on the browser you are using. I was first using safari on my Mac then switched to chrome and it worked.
@@moisescaratachea6334 wow that makes a lot of sense!! ThAnk you for letting me know. I’m gonna add this to my notes for when someone else has a similar issue.
@@elliswatson4040 yeah unfortunately twitch extensions don’t work on the twitch app. They need a browser to run in which the app isn’t doing. It’s a twitch thing that has them disabled.
@@elliswatson4040 dude I wish I could give everyone a shoutout but I’m afraid to start doing it and be swamped with people requesting. However please feel free to drop your twitch link in the comments for people cruising through. I have no issue at all with that.
Unfortunately twitch extensions don’t work on mobile devices. They require a full browser to function. It’s a big shortfall but something is better than nothing. Until twitch decides to fix it.
I've ben going back and forth with the company about not being able to see alerts. They obviously worked for me for a while, then they had stopped for a bit. I opened a support ticket with Own3d.tv and they told me to check the little extension box on the right hand side of the stream window (the actual stream itself) and make sure the that "visible" checkbox was checked. Suddenly they started working again. They did mention that it will not work on mobile and it will only work for new subs/follows. Have you tried to actually start a stream, go into the configuration window and click the "test" button on a follow? It should pop the test alert on your actual stream so keep that open and watching for it.
It’s about a community. If you don’t have a community behind you then there’s no way to it alone. I love helping when I can, or tying to track down an issue when I can’t. Behind every comment is a person and they deserve the respect of an answer, even if that answer is ‘I don’t know’. And thank you for the sub and the comment. It’s very much appreciated!!
Bro, ive checked this same extension like last year and it wasn't working, watched some videos and joined their discord and their live chat and they said it doesn't work? And suggested me to get lightstream wtf is that? So my only question to them last year this year and any year is Will my viewers watch it? Because people say it doesn't show on phone idk man help me out
So twitch extensions don’t work on mobile. That’s correct. The mobile app doesn’t have a true web browser front end for the extensions to run in. I’ve never messed with lightstream but I believe it’s a paid app for the Xbox that allows alerts and overlays. Again I’ve never messed with it so take that lightly.it’s true there are a lot of mobile viewers but there’s also a ton of pc viewers. Worst case scenario you set it up and half of your viewers see an overlay and alerts and half don’t. But if that’s all you have then something is better than nothing. In my opinion anything you can do to possibly better your stream for any number of viewers is worth it.
@@ChowlbPlays thanks man, you were more helpful than their own staff, i joined their discord just to hear one person say it works, you did so thank you ❤️ I wish i could test it out
@@ChowlbPlays yeah man i spent the last 5 hours going through the whole regular process streamlabs obs remote play yadayada and then ps4 remote play keeps crashing every 20 seconds so i guessed that sucks, i can't do it through remote play, rn ik going through some extensions that i can add to make my stream look bearable, so like extensions to engage your viewers I was thinking of some thing interactive idk im just a little sad, i wasted those hours and remote play doesn't work because idk it probably needs 100MBPS or whatever urgh
The stream alert doesn't show up on the playstation.... you had it pulled up in on computer I've done this for my playstation and still don't get stream alerts... thanks for nothing
Correct, there’s no way for the alert to feed back onto the PlayStation. The alert is a Twitch Overlay which means it runs in a web browser on top of the channel. You won’t see any alerts on your actual PlayStation, only on the stream.
Does this work even if im not playing remotely? I activated the alerts and set it as overlay1 but I broadcast and play from my ps4, I dont do remote play. Does that matter?
These run in the browser when someone is watching your stream. They don’t show over top of your gaming session. Only for someone watching on twitch. And only on the web, unfortunately the mobile app doesn’t support any extensions.
Oh ok so While im playing in the ps4 I wont see the alerts on my screen tv screen. I would have to have a computer by my side to see the notifications ? Correct?
Do you mean where the alerts shows on the screen? I don’t believe there is. I’m not a pro subscriber to own3d so I’m not sure of the flexibility you get if you pay. But for the free ones I think you get what you get.
hello! i'm sorry you're having issues. I'm not an expert on the own3d site, but i can try my best to help. the console shouldn't matter since this is just running on the browser. Have you tried to completely uninstall the extension and then reinstall it? After it's installed and you have enabled the extension on an "overlay" when you visit your stream page, does the little side box pop up over the stream saying that there is an extension running? When you're configuring your alerts and you click save, is it saving? and when you open the "preview" window is anything showing up there when you test the alerts?
@@Muddog-md7ob you’ll need to configure it. If you go back through the video after I show how to install it, I walk through how to configure it. Setting up the free theme and then you should be able to set it to overlay 1. Let me know if you still have issues.
Looks like they made have made some changes since i made the video. The "alert message" will be the 'subtitle' on the alert. And if you want a separate message in the chat it seems like you can configure that as the "Chat Message"
Unfortunately no twitch extensions work on mobile. Most extensions are leveraging some type of code in the browser itself, and since the mobile app isn’t a true web browser, there’s no way to inject the code.
@@millergreen9176 hmmm, i just tried to test it out, and my alerts are not showing on the test either. Since this is "hosted" magic somewhere through Own3d.tv, i'm curious if they're having any integration issues.
Ah ok. The dashboard is only on pc. You might try going to twitch on a mobile browser and trying to request the desktop site. That may or may not work. But the twitch app does not allow you to get the dashboard.
Unfortunately twitch extensions are not supported on mobile. Hoping twitch gets their act together on this as it’s a hinderance for every twitch extension not just alerts.
@@hhllhh it’s all console players have for a free choice. You can always pay for lightstream and have alerts on mobile. But not everyone wants to sink money into streaming if they’re just starting. We take what we can get.
I actually did some research yesterday, and on the Own3d.tv FAQ for the extension it says that this is not available on mobile just yet. However it also mentions they are working on a new extension that will offer more flexibility than this one. Here's to hoping!
What I meant was a pc setup to utilize obs and a capture card and streaming. You may have a laptop that won’t run obs or have enough horsepower to run a stream, but a web browser to at set this up at least. Yeh I get it’s a little contradictory 🤦
They’ve changed a few things in the twitch extension area. Activate or grant permission should let you set it as overlay-1. I’ve had no luck getting the test alert to work since the update but have seen regular alerts popping up, just not on the green screen test area.
@@HappyMan759 it should work. The test preview doesn’t work. But it should be fine on stream. If you’re over this I have another video with another extension that is a little more reliable in my opinion. That video is here if you’re interested: th-cam.com/video/I3fiRCSjBPU/w-d-xo.html
@@Alienmoony Sure thing. This twitch extension is actually running on twitch, not on the console itself. When you have an extension installed, and someone is on the twitch website watching your stream, the extension is actually inserting code into the twitch webpage to show the viewer the alert/overlay. It's not going to show on your console, it's simply an 'overlay' on top of your twitch stream on the web browser. That being said, it doesn't matter what you're streaming from, an xbox, ps4, ps5, ps3, pc, switch, etc...as long as you're streaming to your twitch channel, the alerts and overlays will be there.
@@ChowlbPlays ahh ok so I knew that about the overlay I was just inquiring whether it would show for my twitch channel like today someone donated and subbed so would they see it ...cause.i fill bad I have no flare for it
time...grind...be consistent and be available. My best growth (from youtube at least) has come from my interactions with the community. letting people know that I do read comments and I do respond. Be the same with twitch or wherever. Talk to people in chat, if no one is there then tell life stories or walkthrough what you're experiencing with the game. It might cause lurkers to start chatting and before you know it you're talking more and more and getting more comfortable. I stream to 0 viewers most of the time, but I talk to myself and laugh at my own stupid jokes. You can do it, but you have to start!
Ive been seeing issues with the browser test. That doesn’t mean it’s not working on the stream though. If you’re still having issues I have another overlay video for consoles that’s a little nicer if you ask me. th-cam.com/video/I3fiRCSjBPU/w-d-xo.html

It's one or the other. You can only have one extension in the overlay1 slot on twitch.
Thank I figure that out
@@xmeenaxo2169 yeah these extensions aren't the greatest, but when it's all you have...
@@ChowlbPlays that is so true, oh well thank you for tell me
Thanks for the video but when I’m trying to follow with twitch apps on the phone after follow its not showing the overlay on the app and just shows the overlay on my pc ?
So after some research, it seems that extensions do not show on the mobile apps. This is a twitch restriction and not the extension itself. I wasn’t aware of that.
ok but will the alerts still show up on the tv if im streaming from the ps4 or the xbox one x??? or is it only on a laptop or PC??
and never mind lol i just got my answer if it pops up on the tv
oh ok! sorry! long weekend for me! glad you got your answer!
It says you need OBS when I went to configure it. So..?
Noooo way, you can use it with OBS but the extension doesn’t need it.
I cant get any sound to play during notifications, is there a solution to that?
I’m not sure these alerts have sound on this extension. There is another extension though that allows a lot more customization and sounds. I did a video on that one here th-cam.com/video/I3fiRCSjBPU/w-d-xo.html
Thanks man appreciate it best explained tutorial
Oh I’m so glad to hear that!! Thank you!!
Awesome video! But it says that it needs configuration first. Is that normal?
Yea I think so. You mean when you make it ‘active’ it says it needs configuration? If so then that’s ok. Just click the cog wheel to configure it with one of the templates.
@@ChowlbPlays Gotcha and thank you. I'm new to streaming, so it's all new to me. Great video
@@Gp0412 so awesome!! Best of luck to you! If you need any more help done hesitate to ask.

So great to hear! Best of luck to you!
How do I link the donation alert with my donation link?
I believe you have to be a ‘pro’ subscriber to Own3d for donation alerts. Then they give you a link to put on your page for donations. That link is what triggers the donation alert for them. I looked everywhere for a way to link PayPal but didn’t see one with my free account.
Uhhh... i only have a phone I have no laptop or computer. So can you help me out, can you show how to do as a iOS or android.
You might try going to twitch.tv and requesting the desktop site. I’m not sure if that will let you enable extensions though. It may be a desktop only thing.
Also you might try it on your console browser. Both Xbox and ps4 have a web browser. Worth a shot.
Quick question, is there alert sounds on this extension?
I don’t believe there are sounds for this one. But I did a video on OverlayExpert which allows sounds and even full overlays for consoles. If you feel like checking it out here it is: th-cam.com/video/I3fiRCSjBPU/w-d-xo.html

@@ChowlbPlays do you know how to get music playing in your console streams other than through the mic?
@@31Shesterkin I’m not too sure. There may be an extension for music? I kinda get scared with playing music because of the whole copyright issues the past couple of years.
Everytime i try to grant permission to the extension, it gives me a Server error 505 ://
That seems like they might have been having issues with their servers. Give a bit and try again. If you’re still frustrated check out my latest video on OverlayExpert. You can do overlays AND alerts from it. Pretty snazzy.
Wait so if I stream on Xbox, my Xbox screen will have the alert pop up?
No. It will only show on the twitch stream in a browser.
@@ChowlbPlays oh ok
When I press test it won’t show on the green screen. Am i doing something wrong??
For some reason ever since i've posted this video the 'test' green screen has never worked again. That doesn't mean it's not working on your stream, just not on their test web page.

If you were watching the stream on your movie device then it shouldn’t pop. There is an FAQ on this exact thing on the Own3d.tv site saying they currently do not support twitch mobile extensions. Bit of a bummer.

Trying to test the alerts but it won't pop up on the preview page.
I’ve been having issues with this service over the past month. I’m actually working on another video that will hopefully address some of these issues. As long as it’s set up right, it may still work on the stream and not just the preview window.
And Donation shows with this own3d alerts?
When you go to configure it, it should show the types of alerts you’ll get. I think donations are one of them.
@@ChowlbPlays Yeah, but i must set donate in slobs. So, if i set this, it shows own3d alerts or slobs alerts?
@@Likerawprey that’s a good question. I’m not sure what network it shows the donations from. And I’ve never had any donos to test with. You may have to register donations with own3d.
Hey man great video! I’ve done everything in the video but it still doesn’t work. Only the chat notification worked but then I tried to fix it and now none of it works, anything I’m able to do?
These only work when watching the stream from a pc or a mobile browser in desktop mode. They don't show on the twitch app at all (that's a twitch decision for now). Just to make sure when you go to your extensions, it is set at Overlay-1 correct? and You have it configured properly?
@@ChowlbPlays yeah it’s overlay 1 and that makes sense. I typically only have about 2-5 viewers but whenever I’ve asked if it worked to the chat they say no so I was confused but I’ll try to go back and fix it thank you!

If they're viewing the stream on the mobile app, then unfortunately twitch extensions don't show. They require a full browser like a desktop in order to display.
@ChowlbPlays ohhh. Okay, not great news, but I'm happy it somewhat works lol. Thanks so much for the response! ❤️
@@MissLibra94 totally understand, but it's really the only free options available. There is another with Overlay expert as well, but it has the same mobile short comings.
okay console streamer here, i have it showing the Followers, and Subs, but for Donations Alert, how does that work? how does the Alertbox know if someone is donating to you if you have a paypal link to donations in your profile? is there something special i have to link for the Donation Notification to come up on the stream ? I dont think its ganna show if someone Donates because i have a Donation Button that Donates to my Paypal ?
I’m not 100% sure you can do donations. I don’t think there is a way to link your PayPal account to Own3d. There is another extension called overlay expert that has donation alerts as well, but I think they don’t use PayPal either. I think it might be stripe. That being said I’m not positive any of the twitch extensions handle donation alerts. If you want to check out overlay expert, I’ve got a tutorial on it here: th-cam.com/video/I3fiRCSjBPU/w-d-xo.html
How come it didn’t pop up for me
Did it not pop up on your stream or on the test page? If you're on the stream, do you see the little extension box on the far right? If you do, click on that and make sure "visible" is turned on.
Thanks man
Hey! You’re super welcome!
You are a legend. take my sub
We’re not worthy. We’re not worthy
Well I was on the wrong account. So take a Sub from my main account as well!!
Will it show up on the mobile app tho
Unfortunately twitch doesn’t allow any extensions on the mobile app. It’s a difference of an extension highjacking the web browser for twitch.tv and not being able to inject code into the mobile application. Hoping one day twitch will allow it.
Is there a way to add sound to this?
For this one you cannot add sounds, you may be able to if you're a premium member. However there is another video I did on OverlayExpert that is fully customizable down to the sounds and gifs for alerts. if you want to see that video it's here: th-cam.com/video/I3fiRCSjBPU/w-d-xo.html
@@ChowlbPlays would it still apply to PS4 streams?
It’s a twitch extension just like the other. They run in the browser on twitch so it doesn’t matter what platform you stream from.
When I press add alert variation it doesn’t come up do you know why
On the configure page? Did you select one of the free themes first? You have to have a theme installed.
@@ChowlbPlays yes I have
That extension has become very finicky. I’m actually wrapping up some editing on another video for alerts and overlays from OverlayExpert. That video will definitely come out this week. If you want to wait on that one or go check out OverlayExpert.com
After I install it says configure there is no activate then when I press configure it stays on the same screen for like 5 minutes
What screen does it get hung up on. I don’t think it will let you activate it until it’s configured. You could also try signing out and back into twitch and see if that works.
Is there any way to move it?
What are you trying to move? The canvas should be the size of the 16:9 window of the twitch player.
i have a question, all the alerts work but the donation one . what can i do in this situation?
also u are amazing at this vids. keep it up!

i tried this and it does not appear in my stream. I can even see it as a box on my stream manager. any help?
I've ben going back and forth with the company about not being able to see alerts. They obviously worked for me for a while, then they had stopped for a bit. I opened a support ticket with Own3d.tv and they told me to check the little extension box on the right hand side of the stream window (the actual stream itself) and make sure the that "visible" checkbox was checked. Suddenly they started working again. They did mention that it will not work on mobile and it will only work for new subs/follows. Have you tried to actually start a stream, go into the configuration window and click the "test" button on a follow? It should pop the test alert on your actual stream so keep that open and watching for it.

Bro, ive checked this same extension like last year and it wasn't working, watched some videos and joined their discord and their live chat and they said it doesn't work? And suggested me to get lightstream wtf is that? So my only question to them last year this year and any year is
Will my viewers watch it? Because people say it doesn't show on phone idk man help me out
So twitch extensions don’t work on mobile. That’s correct. The mobile app doesn’t have a true web browser front end for the extensions to run in. I’ve never messed with lightstream but I believe it’s a paid app for the Xbox that allows alerts and overlays. Again I’ve never messed with it so take that lightly.it’s true there are a lot of mobile viewers but there’s also a ton of pc viewers. Worst case scenario you set it up and half of your viewers see an overlay and alerts and half don’t. But if that’s all you have then something is better than nothing. In my opinion anything you can do to possibly better your stream for any number of viewers is worth it.
@@ChowlbPlays thanks man, you were more helpful than their own staff, i joined their discord just to hear one person say it works, you did so thank you ❤️
I wish i could test it out
No problem. Again they’re not the absolute best solution but like I said it can be better than nothing when you need it.
@@ChowlbPlays yeah man i spent the last 5 hours going through the whole regular process streamlabs obs remote play yadayada and then ps4 remote play keeps crashing every 20 seconds so i guessed that sucks, i can't do it through remote play, rn ik going through some extensions that i can add to make my stream look bearable, so like extensions to engage your viewers
I was thinking of some thing interactive idk im just a little sad, i wasted those hours and remote play doesn't work because idk it probably needs 100MBPS or whatever urgh
Yeah streaming eats up some bandwidth for sure. Was your ps4 hard wired to the router along with the pc? WiFi is terrible for remote play.
Tysm
Ywsm!!!!
The stream alert doesn't show up on the playstation.... you had it pulled up in on computer I've done this for my playstation and still don't get stream alerts... thanks for nothing
Correct, there’s no way for the alert to feed back onto the PlayStation. The alert is a Twitch Overlay which means it runs in a web browser on top of the channel. You won’t see any alerts on your actual PlayStation, only on the stream.
THANK You So Much it worked
My twitch (anttdaman)
So awesome!!!!!
Doesn't work in the app
You’re correct only on pc. It needs a full browser to execute some code to display over the channel. The Apps don’t have that functionality
Does this work even if im not playing remotely? I activated the alerts and set it as overlay1 but I broadcast and play from my ps4, I dont do remote play. Does that matter?
These run in the browser when someone is watching your stream. They don’t show over top of your gaming session. Only for someone watching on twitch. And only on the web, unfortunately the mobile app doesn’t support any extensions.
Oh ok so While im playing in the ps4 I wont see the alerts on my screen tv screen. I would have to have a computer by my side to see the notifications ? Correct?
Not directly on the ps4 no. It’s not a perfect system by any means but it’s a great way to get people involved in watching.
Do u have to do it on a computer
To set it up it will need a pc or you can try to request the desktop site on a mobile browser.

@@ChowlbPlays ok thanks
this didnt work for me im on ps4 and have been trying to get it to work for a few days now and the alerts dont pop up
hello! i'm sorry you're having issues. I'm not an expert on the own3d site, but i can try my best to help. the console shouldn't matter since this is just running on the browser. Have you tried to completely uninstall the extension and then reinstall it?
After it's installed and you have enabled the extension on an "overlay" when you visit your stream page, does the little side box pop up over the stream saying that there is an extension running?
When you're configuring your alerts and you click save, is it saving? and when you open the "preview" window is anything showing up there when you test the alerts?
I can’t set free stream alerts as overlay 1, why is that?
Do you already have an extension set as an overlay? Or is it giving you an error?
@@ChowlbPlays I'm not sure if I have an overlay, it just won't let me set it as overlay 1 when I click 'needs configuration'.
@@Muddog-md7ob you’ll need to configure it. If you go back through the video after I show how to install it, I walk through how to configure it. Setting up the free theme and then you should be able to set it to overlay 1. Let me know if you still have issues.
@@ChowlbPlays I’ve tried it but when I press the configure button I get a blank screen that just has the title of the free alerts
@@Muddog-md7ob that sounds like a possible browser issue. what browser are you using? is it possible to try on a different browser?

Looks like they made have made some changes since i made the video. The "alert message" will be the 'subtitle' on the alert. And if you want a separate message in the chat it seems like you can configure that as the "Chat Message"
@@ChowlbPlays cool also will the alerts show up for people on mobile and twitch app ?
Unfortunately no twitch extensions work on mobile. Most extensions are leveraging some type of code in the browser itself, and since the mobile app isn’t a true web browser, there’s no way to inject the code.
When I click test it doesn’t pop up
So you have the "test page" up? Where it's the giant green screen? And have you configured your alerts?

I actually did some research yesterday, and on the Own3d.tv FAQ for the extension it says that this is not available on mobile just yet. However it also mentions they are working on a new extension that will offer more flexibility than this one. Here's to hoping!
Gret if u dont have a pc go on ur pc😃
What I meant was a pc setup to utilize obs and a capture card and streaming. You may have a laptop that won’t run obs or have enough horsepower to run a stream, but a web browser to at set this up at least. Yeh I get it’s a little contradictory 🤦
It doesn’t work can u do it again now and tell us how
It doesn’t say activate it says grant permission
They’ve changed a few things in the twitch extension area. Activate or grant permission should let you set it as overlay-1. I’ve had no luck getting the test alert to work since the update but have seen regular alerts popping up, just not on the green screen test area.
So now it will doesn’t work ever
@@HappyMan759 it should work. The test preview doesn’t work. But it should be fine on stream. If you’re over this I have another video with another extension that is a little more reliable in my opinion. That video is here if you’re interested: th-cam.com/video/I3fiRCSjBPU/w-d-xo.html

Does this still work for ps4?
This is totally agnostic of the streaming device. This runs completely in the browser over the twitch stream itself. Hope that makes sense.
@@ChowlbPlays for me no that does not for I am a simpleton would you mind dumbing that down
@@Alienmoony Sure thing. This twitch extension is actually running on twitch, not on the console itself. When you have an extension installed, and someone is on the twitch website watching your stream, the extension is actually inserting code into the twitch webpage to show the viewer the alert/overlay. It's not going to show on your console, it's simply an 'overlay' on top of your twitch stream on the web browser.
That being said, it doesn't matter what you're streaming from, an xbox, ps4, ps5, ps3, pc, switch, etc...as long as you're streaming to your twitch channel, the alerts and overlays will be there.
@@ChowlbPlays ahh ok so I knew that about the overlay I was just inquiring whether it would show for my twitch channel like today someone donated and subbed so would they see it ...cause.i fill bad I have no flare for it

How to become proffesional streamer to ps.4
time...grind...be consistent and be available. My best growth (from youtube at least) has come from my interactions with the community. letting people know that I do read comments and I do respond. Be the same with twitch or wherever. Talk to people in chat, if no one is there then tell life stories or walkthrough what you're experiencing with the game. It might cause lurkers to start chatting and before you know it you're talking more and more and getting more comfortable. I stream to 0 viewers most of the time, but I talk to myself and laugh at my own stupid jokes. You can do it, but you have to start!
When i testing it it dont comming over on the browser
Ive been seeing issues with the browser test. That doesn’t mean it’s not working on the stream though. If you’re still having issues I have another overlay video for consoles that’s a little nicer if you ask me. th-cam.com/video/I3fiRCSjBPU/w-d-xo.html
