Rocket League Twitch alerts, hype train and predictions

Updated 6 October 2026 · Twitch · OBS / Streamlabs
Short answer: connect Twitch once in the Boostcast control panel (official Twitch login). Alerts, the hype train, polls, the creator goal meter and match predictions then run on the same browser source as your Rocket League overlay. Predictions open at kickoff and pay out a few seconds after the match ends, so you never touch the Twitch dashboard mid-game.

Connect Twitch

  1. Open the control panel

    Go to the 🟣 Twitch tab and click Connect Twitch. You log in on twitch.tv and approve the permissions. Boostcast never sees your password.

  2. Choose what's on

    Switch on the parts you want. Alerts and predictions are toggles. Polls and the goal meter are off until you turn them on.

  3. Test it

    Every alert has a test button, so you can see it on stream before a viewer ever triggers it.

Alerts

Follow, sub, gift sub, bits and raid alerts appear as Rocket League-style stingers. Pick the style:

Each event can play a sound: the built-in chime or coin, or your own upload (mp3, ogg or wav). Move the alert box anywhere in the layout editor.

Hype train

The hype train is a car on a boost bar. It fills as the train progresses, revs at 80 %, shows ALMOST! at 95 % and does a front flip with sparks when a level completes.

Predictions that run themselves

Boostcast reads the match, so it can run Twitch predictions with no input from you:

Polls and the creator goal meter

Twitch polls show as a live card with the votes, and your follower or sub goal shows as a Rocket League boost-style ring that fills up. Both are optional.

Stream markers

Every goal can add a Twitch stream marker, so you can jump to the goals when you cut highlights or VODs afterwards.

FAQ

Do I need StreamElements or Streamlabs alerts as well?

Not for Twitch follows, subs, gifts, bits, raids, the hype train, polls and goals: Boostcast shows those itself. You can still run another alert tool next to it if you want.

Can Twitch predictions run automatically in Rocket League?

Yes. Boostcast opens a prediction at kickoff, locks it after 20 seconds and pays it out about 10 seconds after the match ends, from the game's own data.

Can I use my own alert sounds?

Yes. Upload mp3, ogg or wav files in the control panel, or use the built-in chime and coin sounds.

Is connecting Twitch safe?

It uses Twitch's official login. Boostcast never sees your password, tokens are stored encrypted, and you can disconnect at any time.
