About the Streaming News Ticker
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 or Streamlabs Browser Source. The ticker scrolls seamlessly using GPU-accelerated CSS so it stays smooth and light on your stream, and the background is transparent. All settings live in the URL.

Frequently asked questions
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?
The ticker uses a CSS transform animation. Actual smoothness depends on browser-source frame rate, device performance and the streaming workload.
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.
