&chatlite

Enable Social Stream Lite overlay integration in VDO.Ninja

General Option! (&view, &room, &scene, &director)

Aliases

• &ssnlite

• &socialstreamlite

Details

&chatlite enables the built-in Social Stream Lite activity overlay integration. It can show an in-page chat overlay and expose a control-bar button that toggles the overlay.

This feature is URL-gated and opt-in.

Chat Lite can use native provider cards (YouTube/Twitch/Kick) and Social Stream WebSocket relay mode for broader event inputs.

In simple terms: this adds a chat drawer/overlay inside VDO.Ninja so you can see supported chat feeds without leaving the page.

Companion flags

Use these optional parameters with &chatlite:

Parameter	Description

&chatlitenoavatar (alias: &chatlitehideavatar)	Hide source avatars in activity view

UI shortcuts

• Click: toggle overlay visibility

• SHIFT + click: open configuration popup

• ALT/CTRL + click: toggle TTS mode

Notes and limits

• The built-in Chat Lite overlay works best inside the same browser profile that opened VDO.Ninja.

• The "copy overlay link" flow should be treated as a local pop-out/activity view, not a guaranteed cross-browser or cross-machine OBS overlay link.

• If you want a true standalone Social Stream overlay over SSN WebSockets, use the Social Stream theme overlays instead of the built-in Chat Lite activity page.

• Pop-outs and setup windows opened from the same VDO.Ninja page stay paired to that page; manually opened standalone Chat Lite pages still use the default browser-level session behavior.
