• You need the program DeBot to integrate the playlist titles from YouTube into the stream.
• The entire process consists of installing DeBot, adding the playlist, and setting up the text source in Streamlabs OBS.

Step-by-Step Guide

First, you need to download the DeBot program, which is necessary to display the music titles in Streamlabs OBS. Go to the official DeBot website and download the program for free. Make sure to note where you save the installation. It is advisable to create a dedicated folder named "DeBot" so that you always know where the program is stored.

After you have downloaded the program, install it. After installation, open DeBot by double-clicking it. Once DeBot is open, you will see the main interface of the program. You do not need to set anything further here unless you want to specifically add a certain song. To display the music titles from your playlist, click on the "Music" menu item.

Now you should decide whether you want to use a single song or a link to an entire playlist. If you want to use a YouTube playlist, open your YouTube channel and navigate to the playlists. Select the playlist from which you want to display the titles in the stream. Then, right-click on the playlist and select "Copy Link Address."

Return to DeBot and click "Add Playlist." A field will appear where you can paste the link address you copied earlier. You can confirm this either by right-clicking and selecting paste or by using the Ctrl+V keyboard shortcut. Then click "OK." After this step, all songs from your playlist will be loaded and ready for use.

Now comes the step to embed the music title in Streamlabs OBS. Open Streamlabs OBS and add a new source by clicking the plus sign. Select "Text Source." You will now be asked whether you want to add a new source or choose an existing one. Select the option "Add New Source" and name it something like "Song Title."

To display the music title correctly, you need to load the "Current Song" file. Click on "Browse" and find the folder where you installed DeBot. Select the file "current_song.txt" and click "Open." If everything was done correctly, the music title should appear in Streamlabs OBS. You can now adjust the font, font size, and other settings according to your preferences. When you are done, click "Done."

To enhance the readability of the text, it is advisable to display the music title as scrolling text. Right-click on the text file and go to "Filter." Click the plus sign to add the "Scroll" filter type. You can then adjust the horizontal scrolling speed. A speed of about 60 is recommended to keep the text readable. Click "Done" to save the changes.

The text will now be displayed in a scrolling format. Optionally, you can adjust the font size or change the size by clicking on the text. Hold the Shift key while adjusting the text to maintain proportions. This will ensure that the title looks good in the stream and is not cut off.

To show how it all works, go back to DeBot and play a song. You should see that the title in the stream is automaticallyupdated as the song changes. When the current song ends, the next song from the playlist will play immediately, and the title in the stream will change accordingly. You can also jump to another song with the "Next" button or reset the playlist by pressing the "Clear" button.
