StreamElements is reportedly shutting down — and if you've been using it for overlays, chatbots, or alerts, you need a plan now.
In this video I walk you through the best alternatives so you're not scrambling when it goes offline:
✅ Xsolla Partner Network — the closest 1-for-1 replacement (overlays, chatbot, sponsorships + SE importer coming soon)
✅ Streamlabs — for customizable widgets and an OBS-native version
✅ Nightbot — if you just need a rock-solid chatbot
✅ LumiaStream — for advanced lighting integration and full stream control across every platform
✅ Aitum Stream Suite — for automation and multi-action stream control
✅ Meld Studio — multi-streaming + combined chat (essential if you used SE.live)
I use StreamElements on all my own channels, so this hits close to home. Here's exactly what I'm switching to.
