The Request+ overlay is a browser source you add to OBS or Streamlabs. It displays the currently playing track in real time.

​
What it shows

  • Song title and artist
  • Album art
  • Playback progress
  • Hidden-song state for Guess the Song
  • Theme-specific styling

​
Add the overlay

1

Copy the overlay URL

In Request+, open Settings → Overlay and click Copy URL next to the theme you want.
2

Add a Browser source

In OBS, click + under Sources → Browser. Name it Request+ Overlay.
3

Configure the source

Paste the copied URL. Suggested settings:
  • Width: 600
  • Height: 150
  • Refresh browser when scene becomes active: ✅
4

Position it

Drag the overlay into place on your scene. Done.

​
Themes

Request+ ships several overlay themes out of the box. Switch themes from Settings → Overlay → Theme. Each theme has its own browser-source URL.

​
Custom CSS

You can override styles by editing the theme CSS files directly. Overlay files live in the app’s data folder:
  • Windows: %appdata%\Request+\
  • macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Request+/
  • Linux: not officially tested
Inside the data folder, overlay views are under views/ with CSS themes in views/styles/. Edit a CSS file, refresh the browser source, and your changes appear live.
Duplicate a theme file before editing it so you can roll back if something breaks.

​
Guess the Song

When Guess the Song mode is on, the overlay hides the track title, artist, and album art until you reveal the answer in the desktop app. Use this for chat-guessing games without spoilers leaking through the overlay.
