Twitch Streaming Alerts and Layouts

Hey, do you use OBS or Xsplit and want to stream on Twitch? You might have noticed that other streamers have notifications and stuff pop up when someone follows, donates, or subscribes! Well those animations aren't actually controlled by OBS or Twitch, but by external feeds you run through OBS.

My current two favorite alert systems are TwitchAlerts and StreamPro

If you have your own layout designed and ready and just want Alerts to pop up, TwitchAlerts is the most popular alert system on Twitch and only shows the alerts you want! You can also set up a donation link through it and it'll show them on-screen! http://www.twitchalerts.com/

On the other hand, if you're lazy and want a whole layout: SteamPro really has everything there for you. It does everything TwitchAlerts does from what I can tell, but it also has prebuilt layouts for people who don't have layouts already. https://streampro.io/

There are way more things these two services do, and way more services that I didn't mention ( you can find them here https://www.reddit.com/r/Twitch/wiki/external_resources/notification_programs ), but hopefully this can help you start your streams with thanks to your followers!
