Free YouTube Chatbox Widgets
Some streams feel quiet until chat shows up. One message lands, then another, and suddenly your live has a pulse, a shared rhythm between you and everyone watching. That is the part you want on screen, not hidden in a side panel. A YouTube chatbox widget brings your YouTube chat into your overlay, so the connection you’re building feels visible, warm, and real.
Let Your YouTube Chat Be Seen
Make your chat fit every format you stream in
In the Scene Builder, you can create your YouTube chatbox widget in horizontal and vertical layouts, both styled exactly the way you want. Multistream with them, or switch your layouts in seconds when you go from a classic wide stream to Shorts-style live. Your community stays visible, your overlay stays you, no matter the format.
Keep the vibe, keep it readable
Chat can be fast, and the best messages are easy to miss. With your YouTube chatbox widget, you can filter bots, commands, and specific users, so the on-screen chat shows the lines that actually matter, questions, jokes, reactions, and the kind of comments that make people feel like they belong.
When Chat Reacts, Let It Show
More emotion in every message
A stream feels different when reactions are visible. Your YouTube chatbox widget supports static and animated emotes, so your overlay catches the mood in real time, the hype, the laughs, the little bursts of joy, without drowning your scene.
Multistream ready, if you need it
The YouTube chatbox widget is multistream ready for YouTube, Twitch, and Kick, so chat and key moments from new subscribers to members appear together in one clean feed.
