How to add your stream queue to OBS
Three steps, about three minutes, and no plugin. Your queue shows on stream as a Browser Source, built into OBS and Streamlabs.
- 1
Copy your overlay URL
Every StreamQueue account has its own overlay URL. Open Overlay Design in your dashboard and press Copy.
- 2
Add a Browser Source in OBS
In OBS, right-click inside the Sources panel (or press +), choose Browser, and name it Queue. Streamlabs Desktop works the same way.
- 3
Paste the URL
Paste the URL into the URL field, set Width to 320 and Height to 530, then click OK. The queue updates live on its own.
Tip: want sale alerts somewhere other than on top of the queue? Give them their own Browser Source from the Alerts page, and use “Send test to OBS” to see and hear one on stream before you go live.
Questions
- Do I need to install anything in OBS?
- No. The queue is a normal Browser Source, which is built into OBS Studio and Streamlabs. There is no plugin to install and nothing to keep updated.
- Will the queue have a background on my stream?
- No. The overlay is transparent, so only the queue card shows on top of your scene. You can change its colours and how see-through it is in Overlay Design.
- What size should the Browser Source be?
- Width 320. The height depends on how many rows you show: 530 fits the default five, and Overlay Design tells you the exact height for your setting.
- Does the queue update by itself while I stream?
- Yes. New orders appear within a second of arriving, and completed orders disappear on their own. You never need to refresh the Browser Source mid-stream.
- Can I show sale alerts separately from the queue?
- Yes. On the Alerts page, choose Own source or Both, and add a second Browser Source with the alert URL, sized to your scene (for example 1920 by 1080). The sound plays from one source only, so it is never heard twice.
- Does this work with WooCommerce?
- Yes. Orders from your WooCommerce store arrive in the queue automatically through a webhook, so you never type an order in by hand. Manual entries work too if you sell outside a webshop.
