Our free streaming news ticker creates a smooth scrolling announcement bar for your live stream — no plugin, no signup. Type your messages (separate them with a bullet), add an optional badge like LIVE or NEWS, set the scroll speed, position (top or bottom), theme, and accent color, then copy the overlay URL into an OBS, Streamlabs, or Twitch Studio Browser Source.

Frequently Asked Questions About Streaming News Ticker
How do I separate multiple announcements?
Put a bullet (•) or any separator between them in the ticker text. They scroll together as one continuous, looping line.
Will the scrolling be smooth on stream?
Yes. The ticker animates with a GPU-accelerated CSS transform, which keeps it smooth and very light on CPU — important when it runs continuously in OBS.
Can I put the ticker at the top?
Yes. Choose Top or Bottom position. The bar spans the full width either way over a transparent background.
