### Key Points

- **Getting Started with Donation Alerts** [00:15] — Log in to the Donation Alerts website using your Twitch account. The main menu shows donation history, subscriber names, and active collections.
- **Configuring Donation Notifications** [01:27] — Set notification duration (e.g., 15-16 seconds), text display time, and speech synthesis options (male/female voice, language, speed). Choose the playback scenario where music plays first, then the message.
- **Customizing Sound and Text** [03:50] — Upload a custom sound for the donation alert, adjust its volume, and optionally change the font style of the displayed text.

- **Creating Multiple Notification Variations** [06:06] — Create new variations based on the default one to use different GIFs, sounds, and trigger amounts (e.g., a special notification for donations of 50 rubles or more).
- **Setting Up Free Subscription Alerts** [08:19] — Configure a separate notification for free Twitch subscriptions, including its own GIF, sound, and embed link, added as another Browser source in OBS.
- **Creating Fundraising Collections** [09:32] — Set up a collection goal with a title, date, and design. Customize the progress bar, text position, and colors, then add it to OBS as a Browser source.
- **Enabling Video Requests and Stickers** [11:40] — Allow viewers to request videos or clips for a minimum donation amount. Also, enable stickers (PNG format) that viewers can attach to their donations, with configurable duration and cost.
- **Setting Up the Roulette Widget** [13:48] — Configure a roulette with categories, rarities (e.g., normal, rare, epic), and tasks. Customize its design and set trigger amounts, increments, and discounts (e.g., 30% off every 25 minutes).
- **Conclusion and Additional Features** [17:42] — The video covers donation and subscription notifications, fundraising, video requests, stickers, and roulette. Other features like games, voting, and multichat are mentioned for future videos.

## Transcript

Well, hello my dear viewer [music] setting up OBEES if you haven't watched the first one, be sure to watch the link will be the
first in the description. Well, now let's not waste a minute and let's figure out how to set up donation Alex and all his notifications. I hope finding the site itself will not be a problem for you. Click on log in and log in to your
Twitch account. By the way, if anyone is interested, you can subscribe to my Twitch channel. Click on Login via Twitch. Don't be afraid, no one is going to make your account with three subscribers redder. Congratulations. Now you are already on the site and ready to
work with it. On the main menu, you can see where, when, and how many messages you were donated to and the names of people who sent you a Donation and subscribed to you, as well as active collections, if you have them
or will have them. We, people who know our worth, are naturally not interested in all sorts of memes chaos and other crap that they sell us. Further Airs. We, as advanced people,
Further Airs. We, as advanced people, immediately go to the widgets. The first donation widget is only Especially for you, so that it is clearer to you, you do not  Confused, clearer to you, you do not  Confused, Yacher erased everything I had and set
everything to default, now you have the same. How should it be for me or for me, as for you? In short, to set up the first notification about a donation, click on the default variations to configure and start setting up the
notification duration. You can configure it as you like. This is how long the gif that you put on the main screen will last. You can start with 16 and 15 seconds and see how convenient it is for you. The text display duration is this is how long the
message that came with the donation will last. The maximum amount of time is naturally the same as the duration of the gif itself. The second section is speech synthesis, this is, of course, the voiceover of the donation itself. Choose male or female
donation itself. Choose male or female randomly, and then you pay for it all. You can choose your brother, of course, having paid 26 rubles of your own hard-earned money. Do you need it or not? Choose yourself, of course. I don’t
need it, I leave the male voiceover language. You can choose All. No one will hit you on the hand with a stick for this. You insert the speech speed yourself. If suddenly you have trouble learning speech, you yourself. If suddenly you have trouble learning speech, you can use a slow one so as
not to miss a single word.  If donations are pouring in, you can set it to fast so that donations don't form a kilometer-long queue. It's wiser to choose the first text playback scenario, where music plays first
and your gif is shown off, and then the robot plays the message text itself. You can also choose to have everything happen simultaneously. But you yourself won't understand anything, so we choose the most logical first. You choose the speech volume
yourself. Choose so that nothing bothers you and you feel comfortable, for example, 45 percent. And then you can change it yourself after trial and error. Also,
set the minimum amount at your discretion. Let's move discretion. Let's move
The sound is the sound accompaniment to the donation, be it a roar, fart, whiskey, or something else. For example, music, you can also set the volume as you like. Click on
select file. I already had files selected, so they were also saved. You click on  upload a file also from your computer here I have chosen a sound for myself, let's move on to the text, I chose not to change the text for myself, but if you are of course
interested, you can change it by clicking on the font style and play around a little with all this goodness, but Personally, it seems to me that this is not particularly important and left everything as it was. Here we got to the last point, the audio message, where everything needs to be
summarized, turn on, click the script that we have already selected initially, adjust the sound volume and save, the changes were successfully saved. Congratulations, but miraculously, our notification does not get to the Stream,
so we turn the slider up, click on show embed link and show embed link and copy it and go to our obsue in obs, create a source for our donation, that is, the foundation, click on the
plus sign, select the first item, browser, name it whatever you want, save and paste what we copied earlier into this line, delete what was there, paste what you need, adjust the size, width and height if
you need it and click OK. We have a source highlighted with a red line, you can drag it wherever you want, but I put it in the center a little I reduce it and leave it, but now to check what
we actually clicked there, we make a test notification by clicking on the test notification by clicking on the gear to make a test notification
perfectly. To make different notifications with different gifs and different music, we add a new variation in the line based on the variation, select the default variations, this is what we just
set up, that is, this is what we have already set up, that is, based on the first notification already made, it will put together new ones for you. You only need to change the gifs, music and the donation amount. We can name the variation as, for
example, 2. Select group 1, variation type paid messages, and the variation conditions can already be changed. The amount of variations is the amount of money for which this particular Donation will be triggered. For example, the amount is 50 and this Donation
will only be triggered for an amount of 50. You can set an amount greater than or equal to that. That is, if we write 50 here, then it will need to be triggered on the number 50 or
more. 50 rubles is the duration of the notification. If you were satisfied with the first time, you don't need to change it. Also, go to the image and change the GIF sound. I can also
change it because Donat is different. The rest of the settings don't necessarily need to be clicked. settings don't necessarily need to be clicked. Save. Also, click on the gear and make a test notification to see what we're doing there. Now, on the salt hoard

Group 1 also has a notification on the Twitch Hosts and Twitch Raids face. If you know that you will have them, you can also configure them. Let's move on to group 2. There are free Twitch subscriptions, which
you will most likely really need in the early stages. So, let's configure them together. Group settings, leave the second type of notification. Make sure it's set to type of notification. Make sure it's set to free subscriptions. Click on
the image, select the GIF, go to sounds, select the file. The rest of the settings are the same. You can also ignore them, save them, and do the same as with group number one in group number two.  You need to
