How to add Top & Last to OBS
Pick one metric, followers, subscribers, gifted subs, bits, raids, or donations: then choose whether to rank the top entries or show the most recent ones. The text for each entry is fully your own, down to the font.
Takes about 2 minutes
Step by step
- 1
Sign in and create the widget
Open the Streamities dashboard, choose Top & Last, and create one. Style it now or leave the defaults — the overlay URL works either way and picks up changes as you make them.
- 2
Copy the overlay URL
Every widget has its own unique URL. Copy it from the widget's page in the dashboard: it is the only thing you need in OBS, and it stays valid, so this is a one-time step.
- 3
Add a Browser Source in OBS
In your scene, add Sources → Browser, give it a name, and paste the URL into the URL field. Streamlabs and XSplit have the same source type under the same name.
- 4
Set the size to 500 × 400
Type 500 into Width and 400 into Height. Size the source rather than scaling it afterwards — a stretched Browser Source renders soft text, because OBS is upscaling a finished image.
- 5
Uncheck "Shutdown source when not visible"
With that option on, OBS destroys the page whenever the scene isn't active and the live connection goes with it, which looks exactly like a widget that stopped updating. Leave it off, drag Top & Last into place, and you're done.
Recommended Browser Source settings
A starting point for Top & Last, not a rule — every overlay fits itself to the box you give it. Set the width and height here, then position the source in your scene without resizing it.
- Width
- 500
- Height
- 400
- Where to put it
- A corner of your layout, where it stays visible without covering gameplay.
Leave the source's transform at 100%. Scaling a Browser Source afterwards upscales a rendered image, which is what makes overlay text look soft.
Good to know
One metric, your choice
Followers, subscribers, gifted subs, bits, raids, or donations: pick the one that matters for this widget.
Top or most recent
Rank your top donation supporters, or show the last 1 to 20 entries for any metric, as they happen.
Fully custom text
Write your own entry format with {name}, {amount}, {currency}, {rank}, and {date} placeholders, styled with your own font and color.
If it doesn't show up
The source is blank or black+
Refresh the source (right-click → Refresh) and check that the URL was pasted in full. A source that is black on first load and fine after a refresh is usually hardware acceleration — enable it under Settings → Advanced in OBS.
It worked, then stopped updating+
Almost always "Shutdown source when not visible". With it on, OBS kills the page whenever you switch scenes and the live connection goes with it. Turn it off in the source properties.
The text looks blurry+
The source is being scaled. Reset the transform (right-click → Transform → Reset Transform) and set the width and height in the source properties instead — 500 × 400 is the size to start from.
It's the wrong size in my scene+
Change Width and Height in the source properties rather than dragging the corner handles. Dragging scales the rendered image; the properties change what gets rendered.
Top & Last: common questions
Is Top & Last free?+
Yes. Every plan includes one Top & Last widget, live updates and the default look included. Creator+ adds unlimited widgets of every type, plus full styling, animations and the premium templates.
What Browser Source size should I use for Top & Last?+
Start at 500 × 400 pixels, set in the source properties rather than by scaling the source in your scene — the widget fits itself to whatever box it is given.
Does Top & Last work with Streamlabs and XSplit?+
Yes. Top & Last is a normal web page, so it works in any streaming software with a browser or web overlay source — OBS Studio, Streamlabs, XSplit and the rest.
How long does Top & Last take to set up?+
A couple of minutes. Create it in the dashboard, copy its URL, paste it into a source. Styling can happen later, live, without touching OBS again.
Do I need to install a plugin?+
No. There is nothing to download and no plugin to keep updated — Top & Last is one URL, and it updates itself on our side.
