Add Spin Wheel as a built-in source in Streamlabs Desktop, then customize and save its entries and appearance in the Streamlabs dashboard. You do not need a widget URL or browser source for this Desktop setup.

Configure the wheel in the Streamlabs dashboard

  1. Sign in to the Streamlabs dashboard in a browser and open All Widgets.

  2. Find and open Spin Wheel.

  3. Edit the wheel entries—the options it can land on. The setup guide gives T-shirts, mousepads, and water bottles as default examples; replace them with choices that suit your stream.

  4. Adjust the available appearance and behavior controls. Documented options include section weights, font size, text color, wheel speed, ticker image, and the image in the wheel center. A higher section weight makes a slice larger; a lower weight makes it smaller. Streamlabs’ product page also describes controls for categories, colors, font, images, spin sound, weighting, and ordering. The exact controls may change, so use the live dashboard as the authority for what is currently available.

Use the right setup for your streaming software

For Streamlabs Desktop, use the built-in Spin Wheel source. You do not need to copy the widget URL or add a browser source. For XSplit or other streaming software, Streamlabs’ guide instead directs users to copy the unique widget URL from Spin Wheel settings and add it as a browser source, then set its dimensions and position. Streamlabs also describes an OBS plugin or browser-source option for OBS.

Use weights carefully

Section weight controls slice size: increasing a section’s weight makes it larger, and decreasing it makes it smaller. Streamlabs’ documentation does not establish that this control provides a statistical fairness or randomness guarantee, so do not treat slice sizing as proof of either.

Or let it run in the cloud

Streamlabs Spin Wheel adds a choice widget to a scene; StreamNeo solves a different problem: keeping uploaded video live on a YouTube channel.

Any uploaded quality up to 4K 60fps streams as made for one flat price per slot, with automatic recovery if YouTube drops the stream. The first day is free with no card. Monthly pricing is $9.99 per month. Learn more at StreamNeo, or start your free day.
