&showlabels
Display labels as a video overlay
General Option! (&push, &room, &view, &scene)
Aliases
&showlabel&sl
Options
There are some preset style options, which can be passed to the parameter as a value. You can also choose to just edit the label's style with CSS, as discussed lower on this page.
Example: &showlabels=ninjablue
Details
This parameter will display the user's display name or label on screen, as a text overlay. The label can be set either via the URL using the &label parameter, or the room's director can set it dynamically via the "Add a label" option.
This parameter can be used on guest links, view links, or scene links. It will be sticky to each individual video and not the browser window as a whole.
Underscores "_" used in label values will be replaced by spaces, allowing for word separation.
HTML5 Emojis 🎈 and some non-Latin characters are supported.
Font size customization
You can change the font-size without using CSS, using the &fontsize parameter. CSS is also supported though.
Font-size of labels will adjust slightly based on the window size.
Advanced Customization
CSS of the styles can be set via the OBS browser source stylesheet window.
The CSS class name you can customize is called video-label.
You can copy the below code, modifying it as you desire, as a starting point. You'll still need to use &showlabels to trigger the labels to display though.
Below is another example, this time we target the video tile class, creating a margin above the video elements. We can then move the display label into that space, creating a label that is not overlaying the video itself, but still attached.
