Step-by-step Guide

First, create a new scene for your wheel of fortune in Streamlabs. Click on the plus symbol in the scene overview and name the scene "Wheel of Fortune". This will help you organize your new elements more easily.

Once the new scene is created, you can start adding the wheel of fortune. Click on the plus symbol again, select the "Wheel of Fortune" option, and give the source a suitable name, e.g., "Wheel of Fortune". Confirm the process.

Place the wheel of fortune in the center of your scene. Before you proceed to set it up further, it’s advisable to draw your viewers' attention to it. One way to do this is to create a notification text that appears for every new subscriber. Go to the scene overview, click on the plus symbol, and select "Text GDI+".

Add a new text and call it "Wheel of Fortune Text". Here, you can enter the notification text that explains to viewers that they get to spin the wheel once for a subscription. After creating the text, make sure there is enough space between the last dot and the text by using the space bar.

Now you want to make the text scroll to make it more dynamic. Right-click on the text source and select "Filters". Click on the plus, choose "Scroll" and set the scroll speed. Ensure that the text is clearly visible and not scrolling too fast.

Once you have configured the scrolling text, you can adjust it in your scene to make sure it is clearly visible. Position it above or below your webcam so it does not interfere with the view.

Now it’s time to customize the wheel of fortune. To do this, go to the dashboard and look for "Spin wheel settings". Alternatively, you can just type "wheel".

In the settings, you now have the option to set categories for your wheel of fortune. Consider what prizes you want to offer and enter them in the corresponding fields. You can also add new categories or edit existing ones.

An interesting feature is that you can set different probabilities for each category. You can adjust the values up or down to control the likelihood of participants landing on certain fields.

Once the categories are set, you can also adjust the font and design. Ensure that the BTC color harmonizes well with your background so that everything is clearly readable.

If you are satisfied with the design, you can save the settings and review your changes. This way, you can see how the wheel of fortune will look in the stream.

To spin the wheel of fortune, you have several options. You can click “Spin wheel” in the dashboard or add the “Legacy events” in the layout editor, which also allows you to control the wheel directly in the stream.
