Responses you can use on stream
OBS dock setup guide
This setup helps you keep helpful responses right where you need them, on hand in OBS, so you can support your community without putting yourself on the spot.
1. Open OBS
Fire up OBS Studio on your computer.
2. Head to the Custom Browser Dock Menu
At the top, click “Docks” > “Custom Browser Docks…”
3. Add CALM’s Script Page
In the pop-up window:
- Under “Dock Name”, call it something like:
CALM: Chat Support Script - In the “URL” field, paste the link to this page: https://www.thecalmzone.net/wh...
4. Apply + Load
Hit “Apply” — your CALM script will now appear as a dock inside OBS.
5. Move it Where You Want
Click and drag the new dock to a spot that works best for you (we recommend the side panel for quick access mid-stream).
6. Resize as Needed
Make sure it’s easy to read while you’re live — feel free to stretch or shrink the dock.
7. Save Your Layout (Optional but Handy)
To lock in your setup:
Go to “Profile” or “Scene Collection” > “Export”. That way, it’ll stay put next time you open OBS.
'I'm struggling right now'
Sorry to hear that. That sounds really tough. If you're looking for support, CALM has loads of tools — from guides to a space to offload.
'I’m feeling suicidal'
I’m so sorry you’re feeling like this. I’m really glad you said something — you deserve support. CALM has trained staff available 5pm–midnight on phone, webchat or WhatsApp. You don’t have to go through this alone.
'I've lost someone recently'
I'm really sorry to hear that. Grief is different for everyone, and whatever you’re feeling is OK. If you need support, CALM’s got a guide to grief and a directory of other brilliant services.
'I'm worried about someone in my life'
That sounds really hard. You don’t have to figure it all out on your own. CALM’s got tips on helping someone who’s struggling and a helpline you can call too.
WHEN YOU WANT TO:
Encourage someone to talk about how they’re doing
If you want to chat more about what’s on your mind, I’m here.
Encourage them to talk to someone they trust
It might help to speak to a mate, family member, or someone you trust in person. You're not alone in this.
Step back from a heavy convo (nicely)
Online might not be the best place to talk about this — have you thought about speaking to someone in person?
Remember you're not responsible for fixing things
If it’s too much or you’re unsure, send them CALM’s way.
