How To Make OBS Widgets With Dynamic Data With Just HTML (Source Provided)
In this tutorial we will make FROM SCRATCH 2 simple widgets, one which slides in a twitter handle (could show any text) and a widget that will display any meme from a gif file with a custom title that is completely configurable and reusable in OBS, all with just a local HTML file.
This is based upon something I setup on my own stream once I realised OBS could just let you put in browser sources (html pages) and it would layer it on top as its own source. This is pretty much all custom overlays are, just fancy html pages with some dynamic functionality built in, however you can easily just make your own ones from scratch without much effort.
It helps to know Html, Css, Javascript but if you don't then no need to worry as all the source is provided with this tutorial so you can use that as a basis and tweak it as much as you want.
