Video guide

Step-by-step

1
Install SplitCam and add your webcam

Install free SplitCam for Windows or macOS, then add your webcam as a source. MFC Alerts will sit as a layer on top of this camera.

2
Open the Browser tab and go to mfcalerts.com

In SplitCam, open the Browser tab and navigate to www.mfcalerts.com. Log in, or register if you don't have an mfcalerts.com account yet.

3
Copy your alerts URL

On mfcalerts.com, use Copy to clipboard to copy your personal alerts URL — this is the page that renders the tip animations.

4
Add the URL as a Browser layer — above the webcam

Paste the URL into SplitCam's Browser window and click Add. Then reorder the source list so MFC Alerts sits above your webcam (3-dot menu → Move Up). If it's below the webcam, the effects won't show.

5
Test with a test tip

Open Settings → Send test tip and confirm the alert effect appears over your camera. Then stream to MyFreeCams as usual — real tips now trigger the animations.

Pro tips

Keep MFC Alerts above the webcam

The single most common mistake: if the MFC Alerts layer is below the webcam in the source list, the effects are hidden. Move it up.

You need an mfcalerts.com account

The alerts URL is personal to your account — register on mfcalerts.com first if you don't have one.

Send a test tip before going live

Use Settings → Send test tip to confirm the overlay works — don't discover it's broken mid-show.

Alerts stuck? Refresh the cache

If the alert effects stop appearing, right-click the MFC Alerts Browser layer and choose "Refresh cache of current page" — that clears a stale overlay.

Use a wired connection

MFC Alerts is a live browser overlay reacting to tips — a wired link keeps both the camera and the alert animations from stuttering.
