Twitch Chat Overlay not Working
I can't seem to get the Twitch chat widget overlay to work properly. I was able to get in to pop up for exact two messages but it doesn't remain working and I haven't been able to get it to pop up again since then. I've read through the 7-8 forum posts here, reddit, other third party forums, youtube, I can't seem to find anyone who's run into this same issue. I've followed multiple youtube video tutorials and can't get it to work unless I have the overlay always shown instead of event based linked to the chat.
I don't know if it has something to do with this setting "Message Pattern" which by default says kappa. Every youtube tutorial I have watched doesn't set alerts to the layer and just sets the content to the Twitch Chat Widget however when I do not set an alert to the layer the layer does not show up as being linked to the chat widget in the layer descriptor.
What I want to happen is for the overlay to show up whenever a chat message is sent and then disappear after x time if there hasn't been a message.

Hmm, that is an interesting use case.
If you want the Twitch Chat alert event to match all chat messages, set Message pattern to
/./ (and the label should change to Message pattern regex.
I would also recommend setting the Slow-mode milliseconds value to the same as your Show milliseconds value.
Try it out and let us know how it goes.
Don't forget to test using Stream preview mode 🙏That seems to have worked; I am currently in stream so I was able to live test it; thank you very much.
