Scrolling banner: frequently asked questions
How do I add scrolling text to OBS?
Add the Banner widget to your overlay, write your messages, then paste your overlay link into an OBS browser source. The text scrolls with the rest of your overlay.
Can I change the banner messages during the stream?
Yes. From the Control Room you edit a message, add one or change their order. The banner follows without reloading OBS.
Can the banner show up only from time to time?
Yes. The periodic reminder shows the banner for a few seconds, then hides it until the next reminder. You set the duration and the interval in the editor.
Can I show one message at a time, without scrolling?
Yes, with the one-at-a-time layout: each message stays on screen for 3 to 15 seconds, then makes way for the next.
