Game Category Widget

The Game Category widget reveals the widgets nested inside it only while your stream is set to a category you pick — handy for game-specific overlays (a speedrun timer that only shows during a particular game, art for "Just Chatting", and so on).

How it works

1. Add a Game Category widget (Add Widget → Primitives → Game Category).
2. In its settings, search for and pick a category (your Twitch game/category).
3. Nest your widgets inside it.
4. They show only while your stream's category matches; otherwise they're hidden.
5. Invert flips it — show the nested widgets except while in that category.
