Music visualizer for OBS and streaming

Why browsers work for Twitch and YouTube Live

A streaming music visualizer must be easy to capture, stable over hours, and legible after bitrate squeezes. Beat Visualizer runs in Chromium-based browsers, so you can add it as an OBS Browser Source or capture the window directly.

OBS setup (short version)

1. Create a Browser Source.
2. Paste your localized URL (e.g. /en/visualizer) and set width/height to your canvas size.
3. Route game or music audio so the browser tab receives a signal — virtual cables or mixer monitoring are common patterns.
4. Mute the Browser Source in OBS if you only want visuals; audio comes from your main mix.

Mode choices for compression

Busy particle fields can turn into mud at 6000 kbps. Modes with strong silhouettes — matrix, neon rain, laser grid — tend to read better on stream.

Fatigue and CPU

Close unused tabs; Canvas 2D is efficient, but streaming + game + browser still adds up on laptops.
