Three steps to go live

Desktop app. Browser Bridge. Your stream.

The Browser Bridge is deliberately small: it reads the supported live-stream pages you choose to open and passes the relevant chat/viewer data to the local Windows app.

Install SimpleStreamOverlay

Choose your plan, claim your desktop licence and download the protected Windows release.

Add the Browser Bridge

Choose Microsoft Edge, Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox and install the dedicated Browser Bridge package for that browser using the included instructions.

Open your live pages

Open supported YouTube, Twitch or Kick pages, refresh after installing the bridge, then let SimpleStreamOverlay detect the available chat and viewer sources.

Built for the moment you go live

Your stream should have your attention—not a wall of browser windows.

Live chat, viewer counts and production previews can quickly turn a streaming setup into a mess of tabs and monitors. SimpleStreamOverlay puts the information you actually need into a focused overlay that stays where you need it.

CHAT

Bring the audience together

Follow YouTube, Twitch and Kick conversations from one unified live-chat overlay instead of constantly switching between separate chat windows.

OBS

OBS Preview as a second monitor

Open the real-time OBS Preview overlay and use it like a second monitor, keeping your production visible alongside chat and controls.

LIVE

Know what is happening now

Live viewer counters and message-rate monitoring give you an immediate read on audience size and chat activity while the stream is moving.

One focused streaming companion

Everything important stays visible and within reach.

SimpleStreamOverlay is designed around the realities of a live session: fast chat, changing viewer counts, limited screen space and controls you need without digging through menus.

Multi-platform live chat for YouTube, Twitch and Kick
Automatic chat detection after the Browser Bridge is installed and supported pages are refreshed
Click-through mode so the overlay can stay visible without blocking what is underneath
Automatic chat archiving in 10,000-message text batches
Live messages-per-second monitoring for high-volume streams
Standard emoji and supported platform emotes in the live chat pipeline

SimpleStreamOverlay v3.0.4 live chat overlay combining live messages with YouTube, Twitch and Kick viewer counters — One overlay for live chat and viewer monitoring across supported platforms.

A smarter use of screen space

Keep an eye on your stream without living inside OBS.

Use the dedicated Live Statistics and OBS Preview views to bring important production feedback into the same focused workflow as your chat. The OBS Preview acts like a second monitor for your broadcast.

SimpleStreamOverlay v3.0.4 OBS Preview acting like a second monitor for a live OBS production view — **OBS Preview** — acts like a second monitor for your OBS output in a dedicated overlay window.

SimpleStreamOverlay v3.0.4 Live Statistics dashboard showing message rate, system and operational metrics — **Live Statistics** — understand message rates, system health and stream activity at a glance.

Designed to disappear into your workflow

Automatic where it should be. Adjustable where it matters.

AUTO

Automatic detection

Open a supported YouTube, Twitch or Kick stream/chat page and the Browser Bridge can detect the available live-chat source after refresh.

↧

Click-through control

Keep the overlay on top while allowing mouse input to pass through it when you need uninterrupted control of the application underneath.

10K

Chat archives itself

Long sessions can be preserved automatically in text-file batches every 10,000 messages, reducing manual chat-log housekeeping.

Privacy-first local bridge

Your streaming accounts stay yours.

SimpleStreamOverlay does not require your YouTube, Twitch or Kick account passwords. Supported chat and stream information is read from the pages you choose to open in Microsoft Edge, Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox and passed locally to the desktop application for the overlay workflow.
