StreamRoll+ Dice Timeout Options
This guide explains the StreamRoll+ Dice Timeout Options feature and how to choose the right timeout behavior for your stream.
What This Feature Does
Dice timeout controls what happens after a roll settles on screen. Depending on the setting, the dice can fade away after a delay or stay visible so the result remains on stream.
That gives you a way to balance clarity, pacing, and visual style.
When To Use It
Use timeout options when you want the overlay to behave differently.
Good examples include:
- Fading out for a less harsh cleanup animation.
- Keeping the last result visible for tabletop sessions simulating a dice tray.
- Using longer visibility for dramatic moments or viewer-driven events.
- Reducing overlay clutter on busier scenes.
Before You Start
You should already have:
- A working StreamRoll account.
- An active StreamRoll+ subscription.
- A dice config already created.
- Your overlay working in OBS or another browser source.
Setup Overview
- Have an active StreamRoll+ subscription.
- Open the config or settings area where timeout options are available.
- Choose the timeout behavior you want for that config.
- Set the duration or keep/fade behavior if the option is available.
- Save the change and test a roll.
Recommended Choices
- Use fade out when you want the result to clear automatically and keep the scene tidy.
- Use keep on screen when viewers need to read the result after the roll finishes.
- Match the timeout to the pace of the content rather than using one setting for every show.
Testing Checklist
- Roll once and confirm the dice stays or disappears as expected.
- Verify the timeout behaves the same after refreshing the browser source.
Troubleshooting
-
Dice disappear too quickly.
- Increase the timeout or switch to a keep-on-screen style if available.
-
Dice never disappear.
- Ensure the correct timeout style is selected.
