OBS donation alerts, installed in one click

A donation alert thanks your viewer live and encourages others to join in. With DonoLink you design the alert in a visual editor and add it to OBS with one click or by drag and drop.

Three ways to install your alerts

Pick what suits you:

The wizard connects to OBS through obs-websocket and creates every source for you.
Drag an overlay chip onto your OBS scene: the source is created with the right name and size.
Copy the URL and add a browser source manually in OBS Studio or Streamlabs Desktop.

Alerts in your style

Create a variant per amount range: a short sound for €2, a video for €50. Every variant has its own layout, font, entry and exit animation, position and custom CSS. The preview uses exactly the same rendering as the overlay.

More than alerts

Add a donation goal, recent donations, a leaderboard and a media request player. Every overlay has a status, so your dashboard shows whether OBS loaded it.

Test before you go live

Send a test alert from the dashboard and check the image, sound and duration on your real scene. Check the browser source volume in the OBS audio mixer and enable "Control audio via OBS" if you want it in your recording. During the stream you can pause the alert queue, skip an alert or replay it from the dashboard or a Stream Deck.
