When AlertForge fits

When AlertForge may fit better than Streamlabs

Streamlabs includes alert themes in its library. AlertForge generates animated alert media for the streamer's prompt instead of selecting a fixed shared design. Review the generated WebM before adding it to Streamlabs or OBS; AlertForge works alongside the widget platform rather than replacing it.

Frequently asked

Is AlertForge a replacement for Streamlabs?
That depends on what you use Streamlabs for. AlertForge creates stream graphics and animations. It does not replace your broadcasting software or the alert widget that connects to your streaming platform.
Can Streamlabs produce transparent video for OBS?
Streamlabs's supported output depends on that product. AlertForge exports transparent WebM with VP9 alpha for an OBS Media Source or custom-media alert widget.
How do AlertForge alerts trigger on stream?
Upload an AlertForge WebM to the platform-connected alert widget you already use, which handles follower, subscriber, donation, or raid events.
