OBS / Streamlabs Overlay

Spin the Wheel Live on Stream

FateWheel's stream overlay is a chroma-key browser source that puts a transparent spinning wheel directly inside your OBS or Streamlabs scene — no download, no plugins, completely free. Set up in under two minutes and run giveaways, pick winners, or make decisions live in front of your Twitch or YouTube audience.

3-Step Setup

1

Create and save your wheel

Go to FateWheel and build your wheel — add your entrants, customize colors, and adjust the spin duration. Hit Save (you'll need a free account). Your wheel gets a permanent stream URL.

2

Copy your Stream URL

Open My Wheels, find the wheel you want, and click the Stream button (the broadcast icon) to copy the chroma-key URL to your clipboard. The URL looks like: fatewheel.com/stream/{token}?bg=00ff00

3

Add a Browser Source in OBS

In OBS or Streamlabs, add a new Browser Source. Paste the stream URL, set the size to match your canvas (e.g. 800×800), and apply a Chroma Key filter selecting the green color. The background vanishes — the wheel floats over your scene.

Controls

The stream overlay is interactive — you can trigger spins directly from your browser without switching windows.

Tip: after adding the Browser Source in OBS, click anywhere inside the source preview to give it keyboard focus, then press Space to spin without touching your mouse.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this work with Streamlabs as well as OBS?
Yes. Streamlabs OBS and obs-studio both support Browser Sources and Chroma Key filters in exactly the same way. Add the stream URL as a Browser Source in either app, then add a Chroma Key (or Color Key) filter to the source. The process is identical.
Can I use a background color other than green?
Yes. Append ?bg=RRGGBB (no #) to your stream URL to use any hex color as the background. For example, ?bg=ff00ff gives you magenta. Pick a color that does not appear in your wheel segments to avoid clipping. The default is ?bg=00ff00 (green).
Do spins in the stream overlay count toward my dashboard stats?
Yes. The stream overlay is a live version of your wheel — every spin increments your wheel's spin counter and is recorded in your dashboard just like spins on the main site.
Does the stream wheel work for Twitch giveaways?
Absolutely. Type your entrants' names into a wheel on FateWheel, save it, and copy the stream URL. When you're live, click the wheel (or press Space/Enter) to spin. The winner banner appears for about 6 seconds so your audience can clearly see the result before it fades.
Is this feature free?
Yes, completely free. FateWheel has no premium tier — the stream overlay, embed codes, and all other features are available to every user at no cost. You do need a free account to save a wheel and get its stream URL.
