In this guide, we’ll show you exactly how to set it up step by step.
What is the Emote Celebration Overlay?
The Emote Celebration overlay is a widget within the Sound Alerts Scene Editor that allows you to set up emotes that appear on your stream every time a certain event occurs. These events can range from Subs and Follows to Bits or Raids. The Emote Celebration is highly customizable and compatible with popular emote libraries like 7TV, BTTV, or FFZ.
