Serato's Now Playing extension for Twitch allows users to set an overlay on their Twitch stream which displays a live notification of the tracks being played, using Serato DJ Pro's history feature.

Set-up requires a few steps, but is easy and adds a little extra touch to your Twitch livestream - read on to find out how.

NOTE: Because Serato 'Now Playing' is a Twitch extension, it works with any streaming utility, such as OBS or Stream Labs - it's applied to your stream as you are broadcasting on Twitch.
