OBS Lyrics

8 min readHow to Add a Lyrics Overlay to OBS

Add StreamLyric to OBS as a transparent Browser Source, not a native plugin. Match the canvas, keep the Overlay URL off camera, and separate lyrics from cameras and alerts.

Updated 2026-09-148 min readHow to Add StreamLyric to OBS

Copy the private Overlay URL from your StreamLyric account and paste it into an OBS Browser Source. Match the canvas, keep the background transparent, and hide the key. This is not a native plugin.

YouTube Music

8 min readHow to Use YouTube Music Lyrics in OBS

YouTube Music is the playback source. StreamLyric is not a replacement player and not a YouTube product. OBS only displays the current lyric state through a private Overlay.

Updated 2026-09-147 min readSynchronized Lyrics vs Plain Text Lyrics

Line timing is not word-level Karaoke. Plain text stays readable and does not advance. StreamLyric never fabricates a timeline, and Free keeps Karaoke off.

Updated 2026-09-147 min readHow StreamLyric Selects YouTube Music Lyrics Sources

Automatic mode tries timed YouTube Music lyrics first, then readable plain text, then empty. Manual source selection cannot invent timestamps. Karaoke is judged separately.

TikTok LIVE

8 min readHow to Add Lyrics to TikTok LIVE with OBS

Publish a 1080×1920 lyrics layer to TikTok LIVE through OBS. StreamLyric is not a TikTok API or official product; keep lyrics off faces, comments, gifts, and platform controls.

Troubleshooting

7 min readWhy Are YouTube Music Lyrics Not Showing?

Fix missing YouTube Music lyrics in Chrome: try another track first, restore automatic source selection, then confirm the extension can run on music.youtube.com.

Updated 2026-09-147 min readWhy Is My OBS Lyrics Overlay Not Updating?

An Overlay that freezes is usually a stale or revoked URL, Free 8s polling, or a Browser Source that needs a refresh—not missing lyrics in YouTube Music.

Updated 2026-09-146 min readHow to Refresh an OBS Browser Source for Lyrics

Refresh a StreamLyric Browser Source so OBS keeps crop and position. Check URL, size, transparency, and contrast before deleting the source.

Overlay Styling

8 min readOBS Lyrics Overlay Layout Guide for 16:9 and 9:16

Arrange readable lyrics for 1920×1080 and 1080×1920. Do not stretch one Overlay between ratios. Start near 32–48px in landscape and 36–56px in vertical, inside the 12–96px range.

Updated 2026-09-147 min readHow to Choose a StreamLyric Overlay Style

Choose player-single, player-multi, or lyrics-3d. StreamLyric ships three layouts, not a theme store. Free flattens 3D rotation and keeps Karaoke off.

Privacy and Safety

6 min readHow to Revoke and Replace a StreamLyric Overlay Link

An Overlay URL is a credential. Revoke an exposed link, paste the replacement into OBS, and confirm the old URL fails. Layout stays on the account, not on the leaked key.

Updated 2026-09-147 min readMusic and Lyrics Rights

StreamLyric does not license songs or lyrics and does not grant TikTok LIVE access. Listening in YouTube Music is not the same as publishing a live stream. OBS only composes the picture.
