Ko-fi can send word of every donation to one address of your choosing. BuzzBarX keeps a private address ready for you. All you do is hand it to Ko-fi.
- Show your BuzzBarX address. This address lives on BuzzBarX's side and belongs only to your account. It is not a webpage and nobody ever visits it. It is simply where Ko-fi will send the news each time someone donates. Treat it like a password: part of it stays hidden on screen so it can never leak on stream, and Copy grabs the real thing.
- Hand it to Ko-fi. On the page below, paste your BuzzBarX address into the box called Webhook URL and press Update. That tells Ko-fi: send donation news here.
- Watch it work. Press the Send Single Donation Test button on that same Ko-fi page. Your bar should light up a few seconds later.
- Copy your Socket API Token from Streamlabs. On streamlabs.com open Settings, then API Settings, then API Tokens, and copy the Socket API Token. It is a long code that lets StrmrX listen for your donation alerts, nothing else.
- Paste the token here and click Connect. It goes straight to StrmrX; BuzzBarX never keeps a copy.
- Prove it with a test. Fire a test donation from your Streamlabs dashboard and watch your bar light up.
- Copy your JWT Token from StreamElements. On streamelements.com click your avatar in the top right, open My Account, find the Channels section, switch on Show secrets, and copy the JWT Token. It is a long code that lets StrmrX listen for your tips, nothing else.
- Paste the token here and click Connect. It goes straight to StrmrX; BuzzBarX never keeps a copy.
- Send a test tip. Use the test buttons in your StreamElements dashboard and watch your bar.
Zapier, IFTTT, a Discord bot, your own script: hand any of them your private webhook and they can put a moment on your bar, or even set off a Hype Boost. If a tool can send a webhook, it can light up your stream.
- Show your webhook. Two pieces: an address to send events to, and a secret key that proves it is really you. Treat the key like a password: it stays partly hidden on screen, and Copy grabs the real thing.
- Tell your tool what to send. A POST request with your key in an
X-API-Keyheader and a JSON body like this. Only the first three lines are required; the rest fill your templates below.{ "type": "custom", "username": "SomeFan", "platform": "custom", "amount": 42, "message": "used the creator code!" } - Choose what happens on the bar.
Write {user} {amount} {message} or {title} and BuzzBarX fills in what the webhook sent.
- Take it for a spin. Sends a pretend event from BuzzBee through the real pipeline. Have your OBS bar in view.

A full-screen layout of all your active announcements. Use as a Starting Soon, Break, or info screen in OBS. Updates live from your content.
Copy the Banner URL above. In OBS, add a new Browser Source (1920x1080). Paste the URL. Your announcements will rotate automatically on stream: no refresh needed, ever.
Go to the Content tab. Organize announcements into groups (e.g. Reminders, Socials, Interactions). Each announcement has a kicker (small label), a main message, and optional subtext. Use weight to control how often each one appears: higher weight means more airtime.
The Style tab controls how your banner looks on stream. Pick a preset or build your own, choose colors, fonts, shapes, frame styles, and transitions. Changes preview live and save automatically.
Each group can have its own accent color that tints the banner when that group's announcements appear. Pick "Default" to use your theme accent, or choose a specific color. Toggle Uniform color on the Content tab to ignore group colors and use one consistent look.
The Event Board tab gives you a full-screen layout of all your announcements, perfect for Starting Soon, BRB, or info screens. Copy the Event Board URL above into a separate OBS Browser Source. Customize the header text and appearance to match your brand.
Save different setups for different streams. Content presets save your group/announcement configuration. Style presets save your banner look. Event Board presets save your event board header and appearance. Load any preset with one click.
Every change you make here pushes instantly to your OBS sources via WebSocket. No need to refresh browser sources, restart OBS, or copy new URLs. Just edit and it's live.
