Your VTuber chat overlay should match your model’s vibe — cute, pastel, and playful, not a plain grey box. With ready-made CSS themes you can give your live chat a kawaii look in OBS — no coding. Here’s how.
Cute chat overlays, styled in OBS
The easiest way is Social Stream Ninja (SSN), which brings your chat from YouTube, Twitch, TikTok and 120+ platforms into one overlay that you style with a Social Stream CSS file. Every Doodlekuma theme has an OBS-friendly transparent background, so your chat floats prettily over your VTuber scene.
Set up your VTuber chat overlay
- In Social Stream Ninja, connect your platform (YouTube, Twitch, TikTok…) so messages flow in.
- Copy the Main chat overlay & control dock URL (
https://socialstream.ninja/dock.html?session=…). - In OBS, add a Browser Source and paste that URL (
1920×1080). - Download a Social Stream theme from the Doodlekuma live chat gallery and paste its CSS into the Browser Source’s Custom CSS box.

Every theme in the gallery is a live, editable preview, so you can match your colors before exporting. Favorites for VTubers:
- Pinky — a round pastel character with eyes and blush; adorable.
- Bubble message — soft LINE/Telegram-style chat bubbles with pop-in animations.
- Paper Token — cozy paper-collage style for a warm, crafty room.
