Dumb question, but I’ll ask for myself and others - what does “add to OBS” mean?

OBS is a popular free and open source live streaming software. Add to OBS means you can add the Zap Alerts overlays, text-to-speech and widgets to your live stream through OBS. This means your live stream can display live Zap Alerts and messages attached to zaps from your viewers as well as other information in a fully customizable way. Here is a screenshot from OBS showing the software running multiple Zap Alerts widgets.

@Bfgreen This is what the Zap Alert looked like live as I sent you a zap. This alert is customized with the screen takeover glitch overlay as well as showing the zap and sender details. If you were streaming live you could have different amounts all display differently. Bigger zaps giving bigger alerts, sounds, text-to-speech and animations.

zap alerts: interesting. does it allow layering multiple alerts (e.g. zap + follow)? or prioritising them visually? that could help manage stream noise.

Some feedback. I tried setting up a zap alert for testing during two different streams yesterday. Both times the site couldn't find the events. I also added some relays which had definitely seen the events, no joy. Furthermore, setting up an OBS source tied to a specific event means that the streamer would have to update the source every time after they go live with the new event ID. It would be better if the streamer could just set his npub AND the kind event to look out for. I didn't try setting up an alert using only my npub since that would result in unrelated zaps bleeding into the stream such as zaps on a note. Having said that, the UI and ALL the features are awesome and I'm looking forward to play with this some more.

@5t34k thanks for the zap. I forgot to add that the browser source showed - what I would call - as a green screen while active in OBS, instead of being transparent.
