For example, starting soon screens give viewers a chance to slowly trickle in, chat, and get comfortable before a stream begins, while Twitch BRB screens are displayed when streamers need to step away. Below are a few examples I found from YouTube that caught my eye. In this article, I'll show you how to make a custom starting soon, BRB, and offline screen to keep viewers in the know while you're away. Then, I'll wrap up the article with a quick tutorial on how to upload your screens.
Let's get started by heading over to Kapwing , and clicking the purple Start Editing button. While you can use Kapwing on any device with a browser, I recommend using a PC, especially if you're a first-time user.
You can comfortably access each tool in the Studio, and editing a project is easier when working with a larger screen. After clicking the Start Editing button, you'll be in the Kapwing Studio. Go ahead and click around to get comfortable with this online tool! Here are few things to know about Kapwing before going any further in the tutorial.
Kapwing was made by and for creators, is packed with free and intuitive tools to edit media, and is cloud-based. This makes accessing, editing, and exporting content convenient, even when you're on the go.
With the free version of Kapwing, you can export videos up to seven minutes long, store content for two days, and a quick sign-in with your email removes the watermark. Now, onto step two! Resizing the background to make Twitch screens is a fairly straight-forward process. You can click Custom and enter the width and height in the respective spaces. Now for the fun part! It's time to spruce up the canvas to bring our screens to life. It's a good idea to have a folder ready to go with branding assets such as fonts, hex color codes, logos, and watermarks.
You'll need to upgrade to Kapwing Pro if you want to upload fonts. In the following sections, I'll go over design ideas for each screen, beginning with the starting soon screen, but feel free to come up with your own creative design! The starting soon screen can be as minimal or out of the box as you like. If you have a background on your PC, you can drag and drop it into the Studio, click Upload , or paste an image url to import the file.
If you want to use a solid color background instead, click the circle under Background Color and choose a color you like, or enter a hex color code. The plugins tab or image search tool are great options if you need to find a background for your screen.
From here, I recommend uploading your assets to the Kapwing Studio. I added a few logos, then dragged the corners to adjust the size, and clicked the text tool on the left to add my title. Something like "stream starting soon" gets the point across to viewers in only a few words. Try to use large, bold, easy-to-read text, so viewers aren't straining their eyes to read it.
To spruce up your text, you can change the style, outline color, size, and even add a drop shadow with the effects tab. For a more eye-catching appearance, you can add an animation such as flicker, hue rotate, and reveal, by clicking the Animate tab on the right side of the Studio.
Popular starting soon screens, regardless of the streamer, typically include a countdown timer and social media icons with a tag. You can import a countdown timer from YouTube or use plugins to find timers within the Studio. We recommended lowering the Output Scaled Resolution since streaming in p can have a significant impact on your CPU.
We recommend lowering the Output Scaled Resolution to x for a good balance between performance and quality. The software encoder x will use your CPU to encode video, while hardware encoders like NVENC utilize a dedicated encoder in the GPU, allowing you to play and stream without compromising game performance.
NVENC presets range from low-latency, optimal performance, and max quality. This refers to how fast the CPU encodes video. The faster it encodes, the less CPU it uses. In a recent update to Streamlabs Desktop, we included a feature called Dynamic Bitrate. This feature allows our software to automatically adjusts your bitrate based on network conditions to prevent dropping frames. You can also manually edit your bitrate.
We recommend streaming at p 30fps to get the best performance out of your streaming software. Creating unique alerts is a fundamental aspect of any live stream. They represent you, your brand, and you can completely customize them to match your personality or aesthetic.
When you add a personal touch to your alerts, it will help you stand out from the crowd, keep viewers coming back, and encourage others to participate in your live stream. We recommend spending time to make them unforgettable. Today, we will show you how to create custom alerts for Twitch, YouTube, or Facebook. The first thing you want to do is add an Alert Box widget to your live stream. Widgets are features you can add in Streamlabs Desktop to help you interact and engage with your community.
You can learn more about the top widgets we recommend adding to your live stream by watching our video here. After you are done adding the source, viewers will see our default alert appear on the screen when you get a new subscriber, bit, follow, host, etc.
Use this opportunity to acknowledge your viewers for contributing to the stream. Recognition makes your viewers feel good and also encourages others to support you. You can visit our Alert Box Themes page to browse the full collection of alert themes.
This page is your command center when it comes to editing your alerts. Depending on the platform you choose, your alert types will differ. General Settings apply to every alert type.
You can edit the alert delay, mod approvals, profanity filters, add custom bad words, etc. To customize an alert click on the specific event type you wish to edit. In the example pictured below, we are editing alerts for new Twitch followers. Alert Variations allow you to play exclusive alerts if a viewer meets certain conditions. Name your new variation. Remember, each alert type will have specific conditions. We recommend getting familiar with each alert type and the conditions available for each one.
