What does the free Twitch chat overlay generator do?
It produces a video of chat scrolling exactly the way it scrolled live during a Twitch VoD. You pick the VoD, pick a 3 minute window, and download the result as an MP4 or as a transparent MOV you can drop on top of a clip in your editor.
Is it actually free?
Yes. 10 chat overlay renders a day per Twitch account, no payment, no card, no watermark.
Why do I have to sign in with Twitch?
Sign in is the only way we can enforce the 10 a day limit fairly. You keep full control of your Twitch account; revoke the app any time from your Twitch connections page.
Are 7TV, BTTV, and FFZ emotes supported?
Yes. Twitch global and channel emotes plus 7TV, BTTV, and FFZ emotes for the streamer you picked. Animated emotes stay animated in the exported video.
Can I get a transparent background?
Yes. Flip the transparent switch and the export is a MOV with a real alpha channel. Drop it on top of the source clip in DaVinci Resolve or any editor that reads MOV with alpha.
Can I customize how chat looks?
Yes. Width, height, font size, font color, transparency, and FPS are all adjustable before each render.
Why a 3 minute limit?
Three minutes is enough to cover the average highlight or clip. If you need longer renders, the full editor at vod.ing has no per-clip cap.
Will this work for live streams?
It works on public Twitch VoDs, which is the recording Twitch keeps after a stream ends. Pick the VoD of the broadcast that contains the moment you want to render.
Do I need to install anything?
No. It runs in your browser, in any modern browser, with nothing to configure.
