Every message, from every platform, in a single feed.

🔗

Multiple Platforms

Twitch, YouTube, Kick, and TikTok, all connected at once.

Simple Setup

🎥

Works While You Stream

Runs quietly in the background so you can focus on your game.

Everything you actually need

No scripting, no config files, no YouTube tutorial required — just the stuff that makes running a multi-platform stream less complicated.

Effortless Account Setup

Log in to each platform once — PixelyChat picks up your username and channel details automatically. No copying stream keys or channel IDs, and your password never passes through PixelyChat at all.

Customizable Chat Overlays

Panel, bubbles, or plain text. Toggle avatars, timestamps, and platform icons, adjust transparency and corners, or let each platform show up in its own color. Your OBS source updates as you go.

Live Translation

Foreign-language chat gets translated into your language automatically — no API key or signup needed. Pick the languages you already understand, and everything else gets translated on the fly, original text kept alongside it so context never disappears.

Advanced Text-to-Speech

Reads chat aloud in a natural-sounding voice. Pick a voice and gender, control reading speed, ignore specific users or known bots, and set limits so a raid or hype spam doesn't leave TTS reading a five-minute backlog out loud.

Instant OBS & Streamlabs Overlays

Copy one URL, paste it into a Browser Source in OBS or Streamlabs, done. Every style change updates the overlay live — no refreshing, no re-adding the source — and step-by-step setup screenshots are built right into the app.

Plus a few more things

😀

External Emote Support

7TV, BTTV, and FrankerFaceZ emotes render right alongside native platform emotes, so chat actually looks like chat.

📊

Live Viewer & Message Stats

See live viewer counts and message activity for every connected platform side by side on the Dashboard.

Lightweight by Design

It sits quietly in the background doing its job. Your CPU and GPU should be busy with your game and your encoder, not a chat app.

Who's behind this?

Made by a streamer, mostly out of stubbornness

PixelyChat is built by PixieOnTV, a small variety gaming streamer who got fed up with existing multi-platform tools being either missing what she needed or requiring a computer science degree to configure. Spoiler: she doesn't have one of those. She built it for her own stream first, with zero plans to show anyone — then figured other streamers fighting the same chat chaos might want it too.

How does this compare to other tools?

Honestly? There are several excellent free tools in this space already, and PixelyChat wouldn't exist without streamers building great things and sharing them for free. Here's the honest picture — go check these out too.

These are all actively developed, well-loved tools with their own strengths — this is a friendly comparison, not a takedown. If PixelyChat isn't the right fit for you, one of these probably is.

Based on our own research into each tool's public docs and websites as of writing — feature sets change often, so it's worth double-checking directly with each tool before deciding.

Frequently Asked Questions

What exactly is PixelyChat? +

PixelyChat is a desktop app for live streamers. It connects to Twitch, YouTube, Kick, and TikTok and pulls all your chat into one unified feed — readable in-app, spoken aloud with TTS, and shown live on stream through an OBS/Streamlabs overlay.

Is PixelyChat safe to use with my YouTube/Google account? +

Yes. PixelyChat uses the official Google OAuth 2.0 flow — you sign in through Google's own page, and PixelyChat never sees your password. We request permission to read your live chat and, if you choose to send a message from the app, to post to it — nothing broader than that. Full detail is in our Privacy Policy.

Does PixelyChat collect or sell my data? +

No. PixelyChat runs locally on your computer. Your chat data, login tokens, and settings stay on your machine — we don't operate servers that store or process them, and we don't sell anything to anyone.

Is it really free? +

Yes — every feature you see on this page is free, and stays free. Once the app is a bit further along, the full source code will also be published on GitHub. If you want to support the time that goes into it, donations are appreciated but never required.

How do the OBS/Streamlabs overlays work? +

PixelyChat runs a small local web server on your own computer. Add a Browser Source in OBS or Streamlabs, point it at the local URL PixelyChat gives you, and that's it — zero latency, no internet bandwidth used, since it never leaves your machine.

Does it work on Mac and Linux? +

Yes — PixelyChat runs natively on Windows, macOS, and Linux.

Will PixelyChat moderate my chat for me? +

Not at the moment — PixelyChat focuses on reading, translating, and speaking chat, not moderating it. Keep using your platform's own moderation tools (or Nightbot/StreamElements/Streamer.bot alongside it) for that.
