A seamless loop
The lines repeat end to end, so there is no gap or jump where the strip starts over.
LiveFree
A strip of text along one edge of the screen.
Goals, shout-outs, what is playing next: whatever belongs in a line that moves. Write the lines, pick the edge and the colours, and paste one link into OBS. Edits reach the stream without touching OBS.
Free. Sign in with Twitch to save your strip.

One line that moves, and nothing else on the scene
The overlay page is transparent. Only the strip draws, along the top or the bottom, so it sits over a scene that is already full without a box around it.

The limits as built. Colours, size, font and the mark between lines are yours.
What Marquee does
All of it is free. There is no paid side to this tool.

Sample
Saved
On stream within 15 seconds
Edit while live
Change a line and save. The open overlay picks it up on its own, with no OBS refresh.
Why this one
A line of text is the cheapest overlay there is
It costs almost no screen, reads at any size, and fits a scene that is otherwise full.
Free, like Wheel
Nobody should pay for a scrolling strip. The account is only there so your strip is saved and your link keeps working.
The link shows only what the stream shows
Anyone who has the overlay link sees the same lines your viewers see, and nothing else. If it gets out, make a new one in the editor.
Still readable to a screen reader
The editor preview pauses, and the overlay carries the words as text, so they are not motion-only.
How it works
The editor, the link and what is stored.
The lines, in order, up to 20. Speed, direction, top or bottom edge, one of four themes or your own colours, text size, font, capital letters, and the mark between lines.
The overlay checks for a saved change every 15 seconds and swaps it in while it runs. If the connection drops, the last strip keeps running.
Your strip and your Twitch login name, against your MXNGOWARE account. Nothing about your viewers, because the strip never reads chat.
Not built yet
The strip shows the lines you write. It does not read anything on its own yet.
- Lines you write, saved to your account
- Live edits without an OBS refresh
- Lines filled from Subtick, Wheel or chat
- More than one strip per account
Running in three steps
The same three as every other tool here.
1
Open Marquee
Sign in with Twitch and write your lines.
The preview shows the strip the way OBS will draw it.
2
Save and copy the link
One overlay link, made the first time you save.
It stays the same when you edit, so OBS never needs a new one.
3
Paste it into OBS
A browser source, 1920 by 1080, on any scene.
Transparent, so only the strip shows.
Free and Pro, for Marquee
There is no paid side to Marquee. The table is here so that row is visible.

Asked about Marquee
Yes. You sign in with Twitch so your strip is saved and your link keeps working; nothing is charged and nothing is held back.
No. Save in the editor and the open overlay picks it up within 15 seconds.
Not yet. Today it shows the lines you write.
They can only see what your stream already shows. To be safe, open the editor and make a new link; the old one stops working, and you paste the new one into OBS.
Write three lines and put them on your scene.
Sign in, save, paste one link. The strip is running before the next game loads.
- No account to start. The live tools run without one.
- Nothing to install. It is a browser source.
- Status in every label. Live means live; in development means not finished.
- No price on this site. Pro shows it at checkout when it opens.
