How it works: Last.fm tracks what you listen to across any music player. The overlay checks your Last.fm profile every 10 seconds and displays whatever you're scrobbling.
Works with Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, SoundCloud, Tidal, Deezer, and more — as long as you have scrobbling enabled.
New to Last.fm? Full setup guide
1. Create a Last.fm account
Go to last.fm/join and sign up for a free account. Remember your username — you'll need it above.
2. Connect your music player
Last.fm calls this "scrobbling" — it logs what you listen to. Set it up for your player:
- Spotify — Go to Last.fm Settings → Applications and click "Connect to Spotify". That's it — scrobbling starts automatically.
- Apple Music / iTunes — Download the Last.fm Desktop Scrobbler for Windows/Mac. It runs in the background and scrobbles automatically.
- YouTube Music — Use the Web Scrobbler browser extension (Chrome/Firefox/Edge). It supports YouTube Music, SoundCloud, Bandcamp, and 50+ other sites.
- SoundCloud — Also supported by Web Scrobbler. Install the extension, log in to your Last.fm account, and it scrobbles automatically.
- Tidal / Deezer — Both have built-in Last.fm scrobbling in their desktop app settings. Look for "Last.fm" or "Scrobbling" in the settings menu.
- Mobile (iOS/Android) — Use apps like Pano Scrobbler (Android) or Eavescrob (iOS) to scrobble from any music app on your phone.
3. Verify it's working
Play a song, then check your Last.fm profile. You should see "Scrobbling now" with the track info. Once that works, enter your username above and you're good to go.
4. Add to OBS
After verifying your username and customizing the overlay, copy the URL and add it as a Browser Source in OBS. Set the width to 400 and height to 150 (adjust as needed).
Why Last.fm instead of connecting directly?
Last.fm acts as a universal bridge — it works with almost every music platform. Instead of needing a separate overlay for Spotify, Apple Music, etc., you connect your player to Last.fm once and this overlay works no matter what you're listening on. You can even switch between players mid-stream.
