Stream Health Widget | OBS Bitrate and FPS Status HUD
Never type "sorry guys, lag" again.
A small animated panel sits in the corner of your scene and quietly tells your viewers how the stream is feeling — bitrate, FPS, encoder load, dropped frames, and lag your own chat is reporting. It updates itself, so the room can see what's happening without you narrating it.
Real numbers from OBS
Turn on OBS's WebSocket server, drop the address and password into one config file, and the HUD reads your genuine encoder stats. Nothing is simulated.
Chat can tell you too
Viewers report problems with simple commands like !lag, !freeze and !audio, and the panel reflects what the room is seeing. Chat is read anonymously — no OAuth, no bot account, just your channel name in lowercase.
Green, yellow, red
The HUD shifts through healthy, warning and critical states, and you decide where those lines sit. A dedicated Threshold Tuning Guide walks through making it more or less sensitive so it isn't crying wolf on a connection that's fine.
Four themes
- Holo — futuristic anime, soft holographic light
- Pixel — 32‑bit SNES sprite with chunky arcade type
- Cyber — neon cyberpunk grid with sharp scanlines
- Kawaii — pastel sticker with rounded bubble shapes
Each has its own fonts and its own reference page in the package.
Everything lives in one file
Open config.js in Notepad, change a value, save, refresh the browser source. Theme, OBS connection, Twitch channel and every threshold are all in that one place.
In the download
A 12‑folder package: the widget and its config, a 5‑minute Quick Install, step‑by‑step OBS instructions, StreamElements custom‑widget install, Streamlabs Desktop install, theme previews, font notes, the customization guide with a theme reference and the threshold tuning guide, the full illustrated tutorial, troubleshooting, and clean backup copies.
Good to know
- Digital download. Nothing ships.
- Live bitrate, FPS and dropped frames require OBS WebSocket to be switched on — it's built into OBS, and the guide shows you exactly where. Without it the chat‑reported side still works.
- Silent by design — the widget makes no sound.
- All visuals are generated in code; there are no image assets to manage.
- Not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Twitch, OBS, Streamlabs or StreamElements.
- Personal use on your own channel. Please do not resell or redistribute the files.
