Stream Wheel is a free wheel spinner made for live streams. It works with OBS Studio and Streamlabs, so you can spin the wheel live on Twitch, YouTube, Kick or any platform you stream to.
Build your picker wheel on this page, press Create wheel link, and paste the link into your streaming software. Your viewers see only the wheel spinning on top of your scene. Your entries, settings and edit buttons stay on this page where only you can see them.
Only the wheel shows up. Your game or camera stays visible around it.
The wheel resizes itself to fit the smaller side of your source.
Viewers get a display-only page. Your entries and settings stay on this page.
A link is only deleted after 365 days without being used.
Stream Wheel has two parts. This page is your workshop, where you add entries and change settings. The Public Stream URL is the stage, a bare page with a transparent background and nothing but the wheel. Pressing Create wheel link (or Update wheel link later) copies the wheel from this page to that public page.
Changes you make here are not live until you press Update wheel link. You can rearrange or test entries during a stream, and viewers won't see anything until you choose to update.
These steps take a new wheel all the way to its first spin on air. Do them once before you stream. After that, the link stays the same every time you go live.
Type one option per line. You can also upload images (up to 100 per wheel), or switch to Advanced mode to give each entry its own color, its own weight, or turn it off without deleting it.
The badge at the top of the Stream connection panel changes from Draft to Live, and your Public Stream URL appears underneath.
Save it in a password manager or private note. It's your way back into editing from another browser or computer.
Click + under Sources, choose Browser (Browser Source in Streamlabs), and name it something like "Spin wheel".
Use the same number for width and height, for example 800 × 800. Tick "Control audio via OBS" so the tick sound and winning jingle go out to your stream.
Drag it into a corner or the center. Leave room for your facecam, chat box and alerts.
Right-click the source, pick Interact, and click the wheel. The spin plays on your stream at the same moment.
Read the winner out loud. If Show result over the wheel is on, viewers also see it on screen.
The Public Stream URL is a normal web page, so any streaming app that can show a web page in a scene can show the wheel. Here is where it goes in the most common ones:
| Streaming app | Add the URL as |
|---|---|
| OBS Studio | Sources → + → Browser |
| Streamlabs Desktop | Add Source → Browser Source |
| XSplit Broadcaster | Add Source → Webpage |
| vMix | Add Input → Web Browser |
To spin, you need to click the wheel inside the source. OBS Studio and Streamlabs Desktop both have Interact in the source's right-click menu. If your app has no way to click into a web source, open the Public Stream URL in its own browser window, add that window with Window Capture and spin by clicking the window. You lose the see-through background that way, so place it where a solid box looks fine.
The overlay page is built around a square. Whatever size you give your Browser Source, the wheel grows to fit the shorter side and stays centered. Any extra space is transparent, so it won't block your scene, but a square source is much easier to drag and line up.
| Source size | What viewers see | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| 600 × 600 | Small wheel that fits a corner | Gameplay scenes where the wheel only needs to sit in a corner |
| 800 × 800 | Fills the source edge to edge | Most setups. A good size to start with |
| 1080 × 1080 | Large, full-height wheel | Just Chatting segments where the spin is the main thing on screen |
| 1920 × 1080 | Wheel is 1080 tall, with empty see-through strips left and right | Works fine, but harder to position. Crop the sides with Alt + drag |
Keep entries short. A word or two is easy to read on a phone screen, while long phrases get tiny once the stream is compressed. If an entry needs explaining, say it out loud before you spin.
A wheel works best on stream when chat cares about the result. Here are four setups streamers use, with sample entries to copy.
Collect suggestions in chat for five minutes, then add the top picks before you spin.
In Advanced mode, give the hardest challenge a lower weight so it lands less often and stays exciting.
Leave every weight equal and tell chat you did. After each draw, remove the winner here and press Update wheel link.
Upload album covers as image entries so the wheel is easy to read without text.
Open settings with the gear button above the wheel. These are the options that change what viewers see and hear, and how to set them for a stream.
| Setting | Where to find it | Stream tip |
|---|---|---|
| Spin time | Settings → Spinning | Around 5 to 8 seconds builds suspense without long silence. Very long spins lose chat's attention. |
| Ticking volume | Settings → Spinning | Balance it against your game audio and mic so it doesn't drown you out. |
| Result title | Settings → After spin | Change "The winner is" to fit the segment, like "Tonight's challenge:" or "Next game:". |
| Sound volume and confetti | Settings → After spin | The winning jingle and confetti give viewers a clear moment to react. |
| Image at the center of wheel | Settings → Appearance | Put your channel logo or emote in the hub so the wheel looks like part of your brand. |
| Show result over the wheel | Stream connection panel | Shows the winner on the overlay itself, which helps viewers who watch with sound off. |
Chat suggested a new option? Add it to the Entries panel, press Update wheel link, then open your Browser Source properties in OBS and click Refresh cache of current page. The overlay reloads with the new entries. The URL doesn't change, so you never have to paste it again.
To pause the wheel between segments, hide the source with the eye icon in OBS instead of deleting it. It stays loaded and ready for the next spin.
This browser remembers your wheel on its own, so you'll usually come back here and find everything as you left it. The private editor link matters when you switch computers, clear your browser data, or want a mod to manage the wheel for you.
Want a wheel for something other than streaming? The main wheel picker can run up to 10 wheels side by side, and our Randomness Audit lets you test the wheel's fairness for yourself.
