Overlay Configuration API

The overlay configuration API is the set of query parameters which can be provided as part of your showmy.chat overlay URL to customize its behavior. Every query parameter is optional.

Overlay Configuration Options
Parameter	Format	Default	Notes
`DEMO`	`true`, `false`, or `static`	`false`	Displays plausible but randomly generated messages instead of a live feed. When `true`, new messages are added periodically. When `static`, all messages are shown immediately and no messages are added.
`clearMessageAfter`	Any positive integer		Removes messages from the overlay after the specified time (in milliseconds) has elapsed
`disableAnimatedEmotes`	`true` or `false`	`false`	Displays static versions of animated emotes
`hideMessagesFrom`	A comma-separated list of case-insensitive usernames		Does not display messages if sent by any users in the provided list
`showCommands`	`true`, `false`, or a comma-separated list of commands to show	`false`	Displays chat commands (such as `!commands`) as though they were regular chat messages
`showLatestMessages`	Any positive integer	`100`	Removes old messages once you reach the provided threshold (useful for performance)
`theme`	String	`default`	Determines which stylesheet to load. Either the name (filename without the `.css` extension) of a theme stylesheet in this project, or a valid URI of a CSS stylesheet.
