Image and Text Rotation Widget
Inhaltsverzeichnis
The Text Rotation widget lets you display rotating text messages as an overlay on your stream. It’s commonly used for stream labels, calls to action, announcements, or fun on-screen messages that change automatically.
Adding the Text Rotation Widget
- Open your Sound Alerts Dashboard
- Go to Scenes
- Add a new scene or edit an existing one
- Select Element and then Text Rotation from the widget list
Once added, the widget will appear in the preview area and can be customized immediately.
Image Rotation
In addition to rotating text entries, the Text & Image Rotation Widget also supports image rotation. This allows you to cycle through multiple images automatically within the same overlay, making it ideal for displaying logos, sponsor banners, memes, or visual announcements.
Just like text rotation, image rotation is fully customizable and can be combined with animations, sizing, and positioning options to match your stream design.
Text Rotation
This section controls how your text behaves and appears.
- X / Y Position – Moves the widget horizontally or vertically on your overlay
- Width / Height – Defines the size of the widget container
- Opacity – Adjusts how transparent the text appears
These settings help you place the widget precisely where it fits best on your stream layout.
Text Entries
Text entries are the messages that rotate during your stream.
- Click Add to create a new text entry
