Why the same card style across every scene matters

A Be Right Back screen, a Starting Soon screen, and a Technical Difficulties screen are all moments when a viewer's attention is at risk of drifting off — they've stopped actively watching content and are just waiting. A consistent visual style across all of these screens does two things: it reassures a new viewer that the stream hasn't crashed or ended, and it reinforces the channel's identity even during the moments when nothing is actually happening on screen. Matching fonts and colors across Be Right Back, Starting Soon, Stream Ending, and Technical Difficulties cards makes a channel feel more put-together than four mismatched graphics thrown together separately over time.

Frequently asked questions

How do I use this in OBS?

Two ways. "Copy OBS embed link" gives you a Browser Source link that stays live — edit the text or colour here any time and the same link updates automatically, no need to copy a new one. Or download with a transparent background and add it as an Image Source instead, which composites cleanly over your webcam or other scene elements; the solid background version also works as a full-screen source on its own.

Why is the checkered pattern in the preview?

That's just indicating transparency in the preview — it won't appear in your downloaded image when using the transparent background option.

Can I customize the text on each preset?

Yes — every preset's title and subtitle text is fully editable, so "Be Right Back" can become anything you want while keeping the same styling.

Is my data sent anywhere?

No. The image is generated entirely locally in your browser — nothing is sent to a server.
