Working on a streaming tool where viewers on TikTok Live can gift to queue a sound that plays the next time a specific in-game event happens. Kill, goal, knockout, whatever. Basically “I paid for an airhorn on your next death” and it sits waiting until it triggers.

The queue display lives as an OBS browser source overlay and I’m stuck on how to design it. It needs to show the sound, who queued it, what event triggers it, and how many are waiting. All while not eating the streamer’s gameplay.

Right now I’ve got a carousel for the gift-to-sound mappings, kinda like Instagram stories. That part works. It’s the queue itself I can’t figure out, especially when TikTok gifting spikes and you suddenly have 10-15 sounds waiting.

(The tool is called Commentator, it’s on the Overwolf App Store. Viewer gifting queue is the next feature going in.)
