Alerts Paused Widget

The Alerts Paused widget reveals the widgets nested inside it only while your alerts are paused — perfect for an "alerts are paused" notice so viewers know their Super Cheers and events won't show right now.

How it works

  1. Add an Alerts Paused widget (Add Widget → Primitives → Alerts Paused).
  2. Nest your widgets inside it (e.g. a Text or Image notice).
  3. They show only while your alerts are paused, and hide the moment you resume them.
  4. Invert flips it — show the nested widgets only while alerts are active.

The paused state updates instantly when you toggle it (for example from the Stream Deck or the dashboard), and is correct even if the overlay loads while already paused.
