What is StreamSponsor?

StreamSponsor is a sponsor logo rotator and complete sponsorship management platform for live streamers. It automates logo rotation, tracks analytics and impressions, manages deals and payments, runs campaigns, and provides customizable overlays with scrollers, weather widgets, flight banners, and more. It works as a browser source overlay with OBS, Streamlabs, and CameraFi.

How do I add StreamSponsor to OBS?

Add a Browser Source in OBS, paste your unique overlay URL from the StreamSponsor dashboard, set the width and height to match your stream resolution, and enable transparency. Your sponsor logos will appear on your stream automatically.

Is StreamSponsor free?

StreamSponsor offers a 30-day free trial with full Pro access, no credit card required. After the trial, plans start at $5/month for the Starter plan, $9/month for Pro, and $14/month for Ultra.

What streaming platforms does StreamSponsor work with?

StreamSponsor works with any streaming platform that supports browser source overlays, including Twitch, YouTube Live, Kick, Rumble, Facebook Live, and more. It also supports mobile streaming apps like CameraFi Live.

Can I add the Chat Reader to OBS as a Browser Source?

Yes! Your Chat Reader URL works as an OBS/Streamlabs Browser Source with a fully transparent background. Copy the URL from your Dashboard, add a Browser Source in OBS, paste the URL, and set the size to 400x600. Live chat from Twitch, Kick, YouTube, Rumble, and Facebook will appear on your stream with a transparent background.

What is the Flight Banner / Plane Spotter overlay?

The Flight Banner is a Pro feature that displays live aircraft data near any airport using ADS-B tracking. It shows airline, aircraft type, altitude, speed, distance, heading, and status in either a scrolling ticker or structured airport-board view. It includes an integrated METAR aviation weather bar with toggleable data points like flight category, temperature, humidity, wind, visibility, altimeter, clouds, ceiling, and NWS weather alerts.

How do I update my overlay while streaming?

Use the Force Refresh Overlay button on your Dashboard. Make any changes — add sponsors, swap logos, adjust positions, update widgets — then click Force Refresh. Your live overlay updates immediately without needing to restart OBS, Streamlabs, or CameraFi. This bypasses browser source caching, which can hold stale content for hours or even days.

Understanding the technology behind transparent overlays helps you get the most out of your streaming setup.

A transparent overlay is essentially a webpage with a clear background that sits on top of your stream content. Only the visible elements—like logos, text, or widgets—show up on screen.

The technology works through CSS transparency. The overlay page has no background color, which streaming software like OBS interprets as fully transparent. This means you can layer it over game footage, camera feeds, or any other source without blocking the underlying content.

The advantage over static image overlays is that web-based overlays can be dynamic. Logos rotate automatically, text scrolls across the screen, and changes sync in real-time without refreshing. It's like having a mini-app running inside your stream.

Because it's web-based, there's nothing to install or update. Improvements to the overlay happen server-side and appear automatically on your next stream. This also means the overlay works across operating systems—Windows, Mac, or Linux, it doesn't matter.
