Pick your streaming app

Every element you make in Stream UI Fun Studio can go on your stream, whichever streaming app you use. It always starts with the same button in the editor: Add to my stream. Pick your app below for its step-by-step guide.

Supported streaming apps

OBS StudioAutomatic. The app puts the element into your scene for you and keeps it up to date when you change it.

Streamlabs DesktopBrowser source. Copy one file path from the app and paste it into a Browser Source.

XSplit BroadcasterBrowser source. Paste the file path into a Webpage source.

PRISM Live StudioBrowser source. Paste the file path into a Web (Browser) source.

Meld StudioBrowser source. Paste the file path into a Browser layer.

TikTok LIVE StudioVideo. Download the element as a transparent WebM video and add it as a media source.

StreamElementsCustom widget. Paste the element’s code into a StreamElements overlay, then show that overlay in your streaming app.

On a Mac

OBS Studio, Streamlabs Desktop, PRISM Live Studio, Meld Studio and StreamElements all work on macOS. XSplit Broadcaster is Windows only. Check that your version of TikTok LIVE Studio is available for Mac.

On Linux

Use OBS Studio: it runs on Linux and the app adds elements to it for you. StreamElements works too, since it runs in your browser and shows up in OBS. Streamlabs Desktop, XSplit Broadcaster, PRISM Live Studio, Meld Studio and TikTok LIVE Studio don’t run on Linux.

OBS on a second PC?

If the app and OBS run on different computers, use the HTML folder instead. See OBS on a second PC.

How each way works

There are four ways an element gets into your streaming app. The big difference is what happens when you change the element later.

Way	Apps	When you change the element
Automatic	OBS Studio	OBS shows the change by itself a moment later.
Browser source	Streamlabs Desktop, XSplit Broadcaster, PRISM Live Studio, Meld Studio, and OBS Studio by hand	The app updates the file for you. Refresh the source in your streaming app to see the change.
Video	TikTok LIVE Studio	Download the video again and swap it in.
Custom widget	StreamElements	Copy the code again and paste it into the widget.

A browser source is a source that shows a web page. Here, that page is the element, saved on your computer by the app. New to scenes and sources? The glossary explains them.

Free elements play on cue, not on follows

The free elements are animations you play when you want: when their scene shows, on a timer, or with a hotkey or Stream Deck button. They don’t play by themselves when someone follows or subscribes. How elements play explains your options, and Hotkeys and Stream Deck shows how to play one with a button press when someone follows.

Tell the app what you stream with

Add to my stream opens a different window depending on the app you use. You choose it in Your channel:

1. Click your channel name (the profile chip) at the top right of the app. Before you’ve set up your channel, it says Set up your channel. The Your channel panel opens.

   

2. Scroll down to What do you stream with? and pick OBS Studio, Streamlabs or Something else.

   

3. Click Save.

The app also asks this the first time you start it (see Set up your channel). If you never pick, it uses OBS Studio. You can switch any time, for example to try a different app’s guide.

What Add to my stream opens

You picked	The button opens
OBS Studio (the default)	The Add to OBS window, which puts the element into OBS for you. See Add to OBS Studio.
Streamlabs	The Add it to your stream guides, open on Streamlabs Desktop.
Something else	The Add it to your stream guides, open on the first app in the list (Streamlabs Desktop). Click your app on the left.

The Add it to your stream guides

The guides list every app on the left (1). Click yours to see what to copy and the steps to follow on the right.

• The OBS Studio tab has an Automatic label. Its Set it up automatically button opens the Add to OBS window.
• You use OBS but want another app’s guide, for example TikTok LIVE Studio? Set What do you stream with? to Something else, open the guide, then set it back to OBS Studio. Otherwise Add to my stream keeps opening the guides instead of the Add to OBS window.

Elements from packs

• Live widgets (such as chat or goals) can’t be a video, so they have no TikTok LIVE Studio guide. In OBS (or another app’s browser source) they read your Twitch chat, which brings in chat messages, subs, cheers and raids. Follows, tips and other platforms like YouTube only reach them inside a StreamElements overlay.
• Ready-made files (like stickers, looping videos and stinger transitions) show Add to OBS instead of Add to my stream. It opens steps to add the file to OBS yourself as a Media Source (videos) or Image (pictures). In other apps, add it as a video or image.

How to set up each kind: Use elements from packs.
