[OBS](https://obsproject.com) is a popular Free And Open Source streaming software, with advanced capacities for yourlive streams.In the current page, you will find some advices to handle yourlive chats using OBS.
Youcan use the "{{% livechat_label share_chat_link %}}" feature to generate an URL to your chat.This button should be near the chat if you are the video owner (unless it was desactivated by your server admins).
Youcan use the "{{% livechat_label transparent_background %}}" option to have a transparent background in OBS.If you want to customize thebackground transparency, youcan add this CSS in your OBS browser source's settings:
Note: youcan entirely customize chat colors. Thisis undocumented yet, but youcan try this: in the modal, check «use curent theme colors», then youcan try to manually change color values in the URL.You must use valid CSS color values, and they must be properly URL encoded.
Youcan use the [social_stream browser extension](https://github.com/steveseguin/social_stream#readme) to mix multiple chat source (from Peertube, Twitch, Youtube, Facebook, ...) and include their contents in yourlivestream.The compatibility withthis plugin was added in recent versions.
