Use VarietyWheel While Streaming
VarietyWheel works great as a live browser source for streamers on Twitch, YouTube, Kick, and similar platforms. It's free, needs no signup, and your viewers can watch the spin happen in real time right inside your scene. Everything runs in the browser, so there's nothing to install and nothing to log into mid-stream.
How to add VarietyWheel to OBS Studio
- In OBS, click the "+" under Sources and choose "Browser".
- Name it (e.g. "VarietyWheel") and click OK.
- Paste the VarietyWheel URL into the URL field.
- Set a comfortable width and height (e.g. 1280 × 720).
- Click OK — the wheel appears in your scene, and you can resize and position it.
- Tip: use Fullscreen mode on the site for a cleaner, distraction-free wheel on stream.
Streamlabs
The steps in Streamlabs are nearly identical: add a Browser Source to your scene, paste the VarietyWheel URL, and set the width and height you want. Resize and drag it into place, and you're live.
Streaming ideas
- Viewer giveaways — paste chat names and spin to pick a winner.
- In-game challenges — spin for a random handicap or house rule.
- Character and loadout randomizers for variety runs.
- "Chat decides" segments where the wheel settles the argument.
- Subscriber shout-out picks between matches or scenes.
Tips for a clean stream setup
- Use Fullscreen mode so only the wheel is on screen.
- Pick a color theme that contrasts with your overlay.
- Hide ads for the session if you prefer a cleaner look.
- Use the Share link so viewers can open the exact same wheel.
