Chat appearance and links

On the main page, open Chat → Chat settings. Use the preview to inspect the appearance. Changes apply immediately and are saved in this browser; there is no separate appearance-save button.

Appearance

Choose a theme and colors for the background, text, names and message boxes. For a transparent background, set the background color's opacity to 0%. Scale ranges from 60 to 400%; message spacing ranges from 10 to 200%. On narrow screens, the preview appears within the settings list.

Set message placement, animation and sender icon. Enable message times, the input field, scrollbar and delayed message hiding as needed. If the chat unexpectedly looks empty, check hiding and its delay.

Apply in OBS

After configuring appearance, copy the broadcast embedding link. In OBS, open the corresponding Browser source's properties, replace its URL and confirm. An existing link contains the previous parameters and does not update itself when you change the Cabinet settings.

Use the separate moderation link for a working dock panel. After switching projects, check which project supplied the link. Keep links containing the chat key private.

Reset settings restores the initial appearance; update the OBS link afterwards. Refresh chat link key is a different action: it changes the access key and requires replacing all previous links. See OBS embedding.

StreamVi Desktop additionally offers a separate chat-window mode: disabled, interactive, movable or fixed. This setting does not appear in the browser version.
