Automatic music lyrics for OBS

Give OBS the lyric, not another window to capture.

Hum sends synchronized lyrics to a transparent local browser source while your music keeps playing normally.

What Hum changes

A browser source that follows now playing

Most OBS lyric tools are built for presentations. Someone chooses a song, advances the line, and manages a separate display. Hum solves a different problem: music is already playing, and the stream needs to follow it automatically.

Enable streamer mode in Hum, copy the local address into an OBS Browser Source, and place it in the scene. Hum keeps reading the current player and updates the browser source as the song changes. There is no desktop capture crop to maintain and no extra lyric window sitting inside the scene.

Because the source is a web layer, its background can stay transparent. The lyric can sit over gameplay, a camera, a visualizer, or a full stream layout without a colored rectangle around it.

One source for every player

The OBS address belongs to Hum, not Spotify or YouTube Music. Change players and the same browser source keeps receiving the current lyric.

No manual line advance

Timed lyrics follow playback automatically. Hum changes lines when the song reaches them, which is useful for music streams, radio shows, and casual listening scenes.

Local by default

OBS reads the source from the same PC through localhost. The overlay does not need public hosting just to move text between two apps on your desk.

Straight answers

Questions people ask before installing Hum

Does Hum work as an OBS browser source?

Yes. Hum runs a small local web server and gives you a browser source address for OBS. The source renders the lyric without capturing the desktop overlay.

Do I need a green screen or chroma key?

No. The OBS source can use a transparent background, so you can place the lyric directly over gameplay, a camera scene, or other stream graphics.

Can Hum follow Spotify or YouTube Music in OBS?

Yes. OBS receives the lyric from Hum, while Hum follows the active player through Windows. Spotify, YouTube Music, and other supported sources use the same OBS output.

Does the browser source leave my computer?

No. The default OBS address is served locally from your PC. You do not need to publish a lyric page to the internet.
