Give chat
the faders.

Give every viewer control over their own volume levels. The Faders OBS plugin sends separate audio layers alongside your stream, so your audience can build personal mixes while your broadcast stays the same. Setup takes about five minutes.

Setup

Five minutes, then forget about it.

  1. 01

    Sign in to the portal

    Use Twitch, or an email link and then connect Twitch. This confirms the channel is yours. Faders never posts or changes anything on your account.

    Continue with Twitch or email me a sign-in link
  2. 02

    Create a plugin key

    One click gives you a key to paste into OBS. Keys are shown once, and you can revoke one any time.

What you get

Built so you never think about it mid-stream.

Live listener data

Make it a sub perk Coming soon

Soon you'll be able to keep Faders for followers or Tier 1, 2 or 3 subscribers, a reason to upgrade that viewers use every stream. For now it's open to everyone.

Ads keep working

During ad breaks, Faders steps aside and viewers hear Twitch's own audio. Your ad revenue doesn't change.

About 380 kbps while someone's listening, and nothing when nobody is. Your Twitch encode is untouched.

Streamer questions

Does Faders change my Twitch stream?

No. Your stream goes to Twitch exactly as before. The plugin sends a separate, lightweight copy of your voice, game and music layers, and only while someone is listening.

How much upload bandwidth does it use?

About 380 kbps while at least one viewer is listening at the default Twitch quality (about 580 kbps at Pro's High setting, 770 kbps at Partner's Studio setting), and nothing when nobody is.

Do ads still work?

Yes. Faders detects ad breaks and steps aside, so viewers hear Twitch's own audio until the ad ends.

Can I make Faders a subscriber perk?

Soon. Follower and Tier 1, 2 or 3 subscriber gating is coming to Pro. For now, Faders is open to every viewer with the extension.

Does it work with Streamlabs Desktop?

Not inside Streamlabs Desktop yet. Faders works in OBS Studio today, and you can add Streamlabs' own plugin for OBS to keep your alerts. A standalone Faders app for other streaming software is coming.

Which streaming platforms does it support?

Twitch is supported today. YouTube Live, Kick and X/Twitter support are on the roadmap and are not available yet.

What about music rights?

The music layer is your stream's music, so the same rules apply: only play music you have the rights to stream.
