Setting up the widget

How to Use the Widget Generator and Create a Widget

The widget generator in Songify allows you to create a customizable widget for displaying the current song in OBS or other broadcasting software. Follow these steps:

1. Open the Widget Generator

   • In Songify, click on File -> Widget.
   • This will open the widget generator website in your browser.

2. Enable Song Info Upload (if prompted)

   • If the option to upload the song info is not already activated, Songify will ask you to enable it.

3. Customize the Widget

   • The Song Upload URL field will be populated automatically. Do not change this value.
   • Use the various options in the widget generator to customize the look and feel of your widget:
     • Rounded Corners: Adjust the corner radius of the widget.
     • Icon Position: Choose the position of the icon (e.g., left or right).
     • Scroll Direction: Set the text scroll direction (e.g., right-to-left or reverse).
     • Transparency: Adjust the transparency of the widget background.
     • Scroll Speed: Customize the speed of the scrolling text.
     • Use Album Cover: Toggle whether the album cover is displayed.
     • Use Canvas (if available): Enable Spotify Canvas clips if available for that song.
     • Show/Hide on Song Change: Toggle whether the widget appears only when a new song starts playing.
     • Show/Hide Animations: Customize fade-in and fade-out animations and their duration.

4. Copy the Widget URL

   • Once you're satisfied with your customization, copy the URL shown below the widget preview.

5. Add the Widget to OBS

   • Open OBS Studio and add a Browser Source.
   • Paste the copied URL into the URL field.
   • Set the dimensions of the browser source to:
     • Width: 312 px
     • Height: 64 px

6. Test the Widget

   • Play a song in Songify and ensure the widget updates and displays correctly in OBS.

Additional Notes:

• The Song Upload URL is pre-configured and should not be changed.
• If the widget does not display correctly, ensure that the song info upload is activated in Songify.
• Customize the dimensions in OBS if you need a different widget size, but the recommended size is 312x64 px for optimal display.

Feel free to experiment with the settings to create a widget that matches your stream's style!
