Part 2: How to overlay real-time contribution updates in your live stream.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

NOTE:\u00a0<\/strong>This will require some basic HTML knowledge. Don’t hesitate\u00a0to get in touch with us<\/a><\/span>\u00a0if you need some help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When doing a live stream using any streaming platform, you may want to ask people to support you in real-time and then give them thanks and shout-outs during your stream. This great engagement tool is rewarding for the people supporting you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Attached below is a document (notifications_for_crowdfunding_campaign.html<\/em>) for adding real-time notifications of contributions made to your campaign directly into your live streams:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n
DOWNLOAD FILE HERE<\/strong><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

This HTML document is self-contained, and while you can host it on the Internet if you want to, it works perfectly from anywhere on your computer. This file provides a transparent window to overlay over your live stream. When someone makes a contribution or pledge to your campaign, a small box overlays with the supporter\u2019s name (if they aren\u2019t anonymous) and what they contributed or pledged. You and your audience will see this box in your stream, and you can comment on it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you\u2019re ready to test or use this file, open it in any browser and add it as a \u201cBrowser Source\u201d to OBS or another streaming service. Here is an example URL for \u201cBrowser Source\u201d in OBS or other streaming software when it\u2019s on your computer:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

file:\/\/\/Users\/alice\/Documents\/notifications_for_crowdfunding_campaign.html?campaign=f1t2Y1&demo=true<\/code><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Parameters<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Using the following URL parameters (the items that come after the ? in the URL above), you will set from where this HTML document gets its contribution data to display when you open it to overlay it in your live stream.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Campaign<\/strong> \u2013 The ID of the campaign you want to subscribe to. You can find this at the top of your campaign\u2019s Task List next to the name:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\"Screenshot<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Demo<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 A boolean to toggle the demo mode. Valid values are either\u00a0true<\/em>\u00a0or\u00a0false<\/em>. If the query parameter is not specified, it defaults to false (meaning you can also delete it completely from the end of the URL). If set to\u00a0true<\/em>, you can test the real-time notifications in demo mode without needing actual contributions. In this case, a new sample notification will be shown every five seconds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once you test the overlay with demo data, you might want to change some of the default styling and layout that we used to make it better match your style and the live stream background. You can edit and save the file on your computer using any text editor. The relevant sections can be found within the\u00a0<style><\/style><\/em>\u00a0block, the\u00a0<template><\/template><\/em>\u00a0block, as well as the\u00a0showToast<\/em>\u00a0function. This will require some CSS expertise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
