Free streamer tools: everything for your stream
A good stream runs on a few reliable tools rather than a dozen extensions. DonoLink brings together, for free, everything around donations and interaction: donation page, alerts, goal, recent donations, leaderboard, on-screen chat, video requests, QR code and a Stream Deck plugin. You only pay 3.5% per successful donation.
Equip your stream
- Create your free DonoLink account.
- Set up your donation page and connect Stripe.
- Add the alert, then the goal and recent donations to OBS.
- Turn on what you need: chat, leaderboard, QR code, Stream Deck.
The basics: a donation page and an alert
Your donation page brings together your name, photo, suggested amounts and a message field. The alert thanks the donor live. Start with these two tools: they are enough to receive your first donations.
Overlays to go further
Add them once your scene is stable:
- Donation goal with a progress bar.
- Recent donations and top donors leaderboard.
- Twitch chat on screen, with badges and colours.
- A YouTube video request player that you control.
- Event alerts: follows, subscriptions, raids, Bits and TikTok gifts.
Tools around the stream
A customisable QR code for stories and your scene. A Stream Deck plugin to pause, skip or replay an alert. Donation notifications on Discord. History import from TipeeeStream, Streamlabs, StreamElements or Ko-fi.
What you do not need
You do not need an extra OBS plugin: DonoLink overlays are regular browser sources. You keep streaming with OBS Studio, Streamlabs Desktop or other compatible software.
