How to Set Up Twitch Alerts That Match Your Overlay

Mismatched alerts ruin an otherwise great look. Here's how to get follow, sub and donation alerts that fit your theme.

Alerts are little celebrations — but generic stock alerts on a themed overlay feel off. Matching them is easy.

Use themed alerts from your pack

Every CozyOverlays pack includes follow, sub and donation alerts styled to the same world as your screens, so everything feels intentional.

Add them as a browser/media source

Drop the alert files into your alert tool (StreamElements, Streamlabs) or layer them in OBS. Our OBS setup guide covers the basics.

Keep volume and motion in check

Subtle beats loud. Gentle alerts keep your cozy vibe intact while still giving chat a dopamine hit.
