Muxy Extensions
The Muxy Overlay displays multiple apps that can be accessed via a toolbar that allow viewers to interact with a stream.
When their mouse is over the Twitch player, viewers will see a small toolbar on the player that controls the various interactive apps. Viewers can reposition the on-screen overlay elements, interact with them and toggle them on and off at their discretion.
Click Map
Viewers’ clicks on the Twitch player are aggregated and then displayed as a heat map.
Clicks will be rendered in a provided visualization URL as a browser source. Clicks will disappear over time.
A good example of a way to use this in a broadcast is to see if viewers can collectively draw a specified image by clicking on the screen.
Confetti
Viewers can impact the stream directly by spawning confetti and eventually other fun particle effects that will be aggregated and then rendered in a provided visualization URL as a browser source. Your visualization URL is found in the Overlay section of Twitch Extensions Manager of your Twitch Dashboard. The URL supports Confetti and Click Map.
Viewers can send confetti whenever they want and as frequently as they want and this will only display over the senders video player. The confetti explosion will fire after reaching a threshold (and no more frequently than once per minute) and will display on the visualization URL in OBS, displaying the explosion effect in the video stream for all viewers to see. As a broadcaster you can simply hide the visualization browser source to hide the confetti.
You can encourage viewers to use confetti to celebrate your wins or welcome new subscribers.
Feels Meter
Viewers can express themselves easily with a simple and configurable binary gauge that acts as a voting mechanism.
Viewers can vote by clicking on the on-screen buttons. The gauge will display the average user sentiment over the video player for viewers and on the Twitch Dashboard for the broadcaster. The alternate gauge mode displays cheermotes instead of the dial to represent the current cheer average.
Broadcasters can make the Feels Meter pop up on viewers screens from the Twitch Dashboard. Viewers can open and close the meter at their discretion and the meter will close itself if the viewer doesn’t vote within 10 seconds.
You can use this during your stream to conduct a vote or ask a yes/no questions, such as “should I switch games now?”
Globe
Viewers from around the world can check in on an animated globe that displays all viewer entered locations as pins sticking out of the globe. Broadcasters may wipe out the location pins from the Twitch Live Dashboard to reset the globe.
You can use this during your stream to ask chat where they are watching from and see your geographic reach.
Lupinball
Lupinball (http://craftven.com/#!/games/lupinball) is a 2–4 player arcade deathmatch about shooting magic fireballs at your foes, and being the last one standing!
The Lupinball Overlay app displays:
- The name of each player in the game
- The number of rounds each player has won.
- The picture of the werewolf character profile
- A button to vote for a player.
- The total number of votes a player has received.
Polls
The Polls Overlay app allows broadcasters to display polls over the player. Broadcasters can create, view, and delete polls from the Twitch Dashboard and display them on the channel page. Viewers can view on-screen polls and vote by clicking on the poll choices. Poll results are visible after voting. Viewers can vote once per poll.
Now Playing
Pretzel is built from the ground up with streamers in mind. Pretzel curates a catalog of music that’s specifically licensed to be used while streaming.
The Now Playing app allows viewers to display the name of the current track in the broadcaster’s Pretzel music player on demand on their own screen.
A Pretzel account and either form of their music player (web or desktop) will be needed to use the Pretzel: Now Playing Overlay app. Pretzel is a music player that you can use on Twitch without fear of muted vods.
You can access the Pretzel web player here: https://app.pretzel.rocks/login or you can use the Windows desktop client, which you can grab here: https://download.pretzel.rocks/PretzelDesktop.exe.
Viewers can discover what track you’re currently playing without the need for a chat bot!
Spotify
Spotify is a digital music service that gives you access to millions of songs.
The Spotify Overlay app allows viewers to display the name of the current track playing in the broadcaster’s Spotify client on demand on their own screen.
A Spotify account and either form of their music player (web or desktop) will be needed to use the Spotify Overlay app. The Muxy Ticker is also required to make the Spotify Overlay app work.

Leaderboard (Panel)
The Leaderboard interactive panel displays a Cheer leaderboard that dynamically updates lists of your top 6 all-time, monthly (past 30 days), weekly (past 7 days), and session cheerers.
The leaderboard can be moderated from the Twitch Dashboard where the broadcaster can choose to show/hide the names of individual cheerers. The Muxy Leaderboard is more accurate if you have a Muxy account. Create a Muxy account here: https://muxy.io
