OBS Studio

Free, open-source — the most popular streaming software for PC streamers.

01

Step 1

Open your StreamTranslate dashboard

Go to streamtranslate.live/control. Sign up or log in, then pick your source language and the language you want to translate into.

02

Step 2

Copy your OBS overlay URL

On the dashboard, find the OBS URL field and copy it. Your URL will look like:

streamtranslate.live/overlay?room=YOUR-ROOM-ID

This URL is unique to your stream. Keep it private.

03

Step 3

Add a Browser Source in OBS

In OBS Studio, find the Sources panel at the bottom. Click + and select Browser. Name it anything.

Sources → + → Browser

04

Step 4

Paste the URL, set size, add CSS

Paste your overlay URL in the URL field. Set width 1920 and height 1080. In Custom CSS, paste this to remove the white background:

body { background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0) !important; }

Click OK.

05

Step 5

Click Go Live and start streaming

On your StreamTranslate dashboard, click Go Live. Then start your stream in OBS. Subtitles appear for your viewers within 2 seconds.

If subtitles don't appear: confirm you clicked Go Live on the dashboard AND the Browser Source is visible in your active OBS scene.

Streamlabs

Streamlabs Desktop — all-in-one streaming app with built-in alerts and overlays.

01

Step 1

Copy your overlay URL

On the StreamTranslate dashboard, select your languages and copy the OBS URL. Streamlabs uses the same browser source system as OBS.

streamtranslate.live/overlay?room=YOUR-ROOM-ID

02

Step 2

Add a Browser Source

In Streamlabs Desktop, go to your Sources panel and click the + icon. Select Browser Source.

Sources → + → Browser Source

03

Step 3

Configure the source

Paste your overlay URL, set width 1920 and height 1080. In the Custom CSS field:

body { background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0) !important; }

Click Done.

04

Step 4

Layer it at the top

Drag the Browser Source to the top of your source list so subtitles appear above your game, camera, and other layers.

05

Step 5

Go Live

Click Go Live on your StreamTranslate dashboard, then start streaming in Streamlabs. Subtitles appear as you speak.

Streamlabs and OBS use the same browser source system — setup is nearly identical.

Meld Studio

Free modern streaming app with built-in multistreaming and effects. OBS-compatible setup.

01

Step 1

Copy your overlay URL

On the StreamTranslate dashboard, pick your source and target language, then copy the OBS URL. Meld uses the same format.

streamtranslate.live/overlay?room=YOUR-ROOM-ID

02

Step 2

Add a Browser Source in Meld

In Meld Studio, click + in your Sources panel and select Browser Source. Paste your StreamTranslate overlay URL.

Sources → + → Browser Source

03

Step 3

Set size and transparency

Set width 1920 and height 1080. In the Custom CSS field:

body { background: transparent !important; }

This removes the white background so only subtitles show.

04

Step 4

Position the overlay

Drag the browser source to the top of your source stack so subtitles appear above all other layers. Resize to fill the full canvas if needed.

05

Step 5

Go Live

Click Go Live on your StreamTranslate dashboard, then start your stream in Meld Studio. Translated subtitles appear in real-time.

Meld Studio uses the same browser source system as OBS — setup is nearly identical.

StreamElements

SE.Live OBS plugin — StreamTranslate works alongside your existing SE overlays.

01

Step 1

Copy your overlay URL

On the StreamTranslate dashboard, select your languages and copy the OBS URL.

streamtranslate.live/overlay?room=YOUR-ROOM-ID

02

Step 2

Add a Browser Source in OBS

StreamElements (SE.Live) is a plugin inside OBS Studio. Add StreamTranslate as a regular OBS Browser Source — it runs independently of SE.Live.

OBS → Sources → + → Browser

03

Step 3

Configure the browser source

Paste your overlay URL, set 1920 × 1080, and add the transparency CSS:

body { background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0) !important; }

Click OK.

04

Step 4

Layer it above SE.Live

In the OBS Sources panel, drag the StreamTranslate source above your SE.Live overlay layer. Alerts, chatbox, and StreamTranslate subtitles all display simultaneously — no conflicts.

05

Step 5

Go Live

Click Go Live on your StreamTranslate dashboard, then start streaming. Subtitles run alongside your StreamElements overlays with no interference.

StreamElements and StreamTranslate are fully independent. Your existing alerts and widgets keep working exactly as before.

Twitch / YouTube Studio

Built-in studio apps. Beginner-friendly, browser-based — no download required.

streamtranslate.live/overlay?room=YOUR-ROOM-ID

02

Add Layer → Browser Source

04

Step 4

Move it to the top

Drag the StreamTranslate layer to the top of your layer list so subtitles appear above your game and camera. Click Done.

05

Step 5

Go Live

Click Go Live on your StreamTranslate dashboard, then go live in the Studio app. Viewers see subtitles appear as you speak.

The built-in studio apps have fewer customization options than OBS. For more control over subtitle positioning, OBS Studio is free and recommended.
