Layout sample

OBS layout notes

Source size

720 × 900 or 800 × 1000: Use a 4:5 Browser Source so the pet, reactions, and speech bubble have enough vertical space.

Background

Transparent: Keep the source transparent so the pet sits naturally over the live scene.

Placement

Bottom corner or beside chat: Avoid covering gameplay, facecam, subtitles, or important alert widgets.

Trigger rules

Suggested event mapping

Follow

Clap or wave

A low-intensity reaction works well for frequent viewer arrivals.

Gift, Bits, or subscription

Heart or cheer

Use a warmer reaction for support moments that deserve a visible thank-you.

Raid or high-value gift

Dance or surprise

Reserve the biggest motion for moments that should pull attention.
