🎡 Stream Wheel
A fully customizable spin wheel built for live streamers. Add multiple wheels on one page, configure each independently, remove winners round by round, and share the complete setup — or paste as an OBS Browser Source overlay.
📺 How to use Stream Wheel with OBS, Streamlabs & more
Stream Wheel runs entirely in the browser, no account required. Use it directly on this page, or paste as a transparent Browser Source overlay in any streaming software.
Quick links
🚀 Getting started
- The wheel loads with example viewer names. Open ⚙️ Settings on any wheel card to change the items.
- Paste one name per line in the items box, then click 🔄 Update Wheel.
- Choose a color theme from the Color Theme palette row.
- Enable Remove winner from wheel after spin if you want each result removed automatically — ideal for giveaways.
- Click 🎡 SPIN! to spin. The result appears below the wheel.
- Removed winners appear as chips below the wheel. Click ✕ on any chip to restore that individual item, or use ↩ Restore All.
- Your full configuration (all wheels, results, history) is always encoded in the URL. Bookmark it or use the 🔗 Share Setup button.
🟣 OBS Studio
- Configure your wheels as desired — items, colors, titles.
- Click 📺 OBS Overlay URL above. This copies a URL with
?overlay=1appended, which strips all menus and makes the background fully transparent. - In OBS Studio, go to a Scene and click ＋ in the Sources panel.
- Select Browser Source and give it a name like "Stream Wheel".
- Paste the overlay URL into the URL field.
- Set Width to 450 and Height to 530 per wheel (scale up proportionally for multiple wheels).
- Enable Shutdown source when not visible to save resources.
- Click OK. Right-click the source and choose Interact to click the SPIN button directly from OBS without switching windows.
💡 Tip: Resize and reposition the Browser Source in your scene using the red handles. Hold Shift while resizing to scale freely.
🟦 Streamlabs / Streamlabs OBS
- Click 📺 OBS Overlay URL to copy your transparent overlay URL.
- In Streamlabs, go to your active Scene and click ＋ in the Sources section.
- Select Browser Source.
- Paste the overlay URL into the URL field.
- Set width to 450 and height to 530 (adjust for multiple wheels).
- Enable Shutdown source when not visible.
- Click Add Source. Use the Interact option in the source context menu to spin directly from Streamlabs.
🎬 XSplit Broadcaster
- Copy your overlay URL via the 📺 OBS Overlay URL button.
- In XSplit, go to your scene and click Add Source → Webpage.
- Paste the overlay URL and set the source dimensions to match your intended layout.
- The wheel loads with a transparent background and no extra UI.
📺 Twitch, YouTube Live & other platforms
Streaming platforms like Twitch and YouTube do not manage overlays — you add them in your broadcasting software (OBS, Streamlabs, XSplit). Follow the steps above to add Stream Wheel as a Browser Source, then stream to any platform as normal.
- Twitch giveaways: enable "Remove winner after spin", add viewer usernames, and spin each round. Removed winners appear in the history chips.
- YouTube milestones: create a reward wheel with prize names and spin live on screen for your viewers.
- Discord communities: share the setup URL so community members see the exact same wheel configuration.
- vMix, Wirecast, Ecamm Live: all support Browser Sources — follow the same URL + dimensions approach.
🔗 Sharing your configuration
Every wheel setting — titles, items, color themes, removed winners, spin duration — is encoded into the URL as you make changes. No account or save button required.
- 🔗 Share Setup: copies a URL that opens this page with all your wheels pre-configured. Send it to a co-streamer or bookmark it.
- 📺 OBS Overlay URL: same config but adds
?overlay=1. Paste directly into OBS / Streamlabs Browser Source. The page background becomes transparent and all menus hide automatically. - Auto-save: the URL updates silently as you configure without reloading the page. Your last configuration is always restorable from your browser history.
- Sharing results: after a spin, removed winners are included in the URL, so sharing mid-giveaway lets your co-streamer resume exactly where you left off.
🔢 Using multiple wheels
Click ＋ Add Wheel to add more wheels to the page. All wheels are visible simultaneously — useful for showing a game wheel and a viewer wheel side by side on stream.
- Each wheel has an independent items list, color theme, and remove-winner setting.
- All wheels are included in the shared URL, so your entire multi-wheel layout is shareable as one link.
- In overlay mode, all wheels render side by side with a transparent background.
- Remove a wheel by opening its settings and clicking the ✕ button in the card header.
