A police scanner turns ordinary chat movement into GTA RP atmosphere. This free scanner widget formats live messages as dispatch calls, priority alerts, BOLO notices, and coded entries, so viewers feel like they are listening to the world around your character.

It works especially well for patrols, pursuits, EMS scenes, detective work, and server events where a scrolling feed can make the scene feel bigger than one player.

What the Scanner Adds

The base feed turns chat into dispatch-style entries. Moderators and broadcasters can add stronger signals with commands: !alert [message] pushes a red priority banner, !bolo [message] issues a Be On The Lookout entry, !code [10-4/etc] [message] posts a coded dispatch line, and !scanner [clear/pause/resume] controls the feed state.

The widget can also be customized through URL parameters for agency, channel, frequency, unit, and viewer visibility. That lets you style the scanner as BCSO dispatch, LSPD radio, a private security channel, or whatever fits your GTA RP server.

Twitch, YouTube Live, Kick, and TikTok Live all work through the same Meld sign-in. Multistreamed RP sessions can keep one shared scanner feed instead of separate platform-specific widgets.

Keeping Chat in the Scene

The scanner gives viewers a way to contribute without breaking immersion. A normal chat message can become ambient dispatch texture, while mod-only commands keep major alerts controlled. If the feed gets too busy, pause or clear it with the scanner command and bring it back when the scene needs motion again.

Download Meld Studio and place the scanner widget in your stream for free. OBS users can keep their existing setup by using Spark Plug for OBS, which loads the same overlay as a browser source with the same command support.

Use cases

Police and EMS roleplay streams

Scanner-style dispatch gives law enforcement and EMS scenes a constant layer of world detail. Chat messages become radio traffic, while priority commands let moderators push important calls during a pursuit or scene.
Letting chat join the RP atmosphere

Viewers can become part of the dispatch texture without taking over the stream. The feed turns chat into scrolling calls, BOLO notices, and coded entries that match the GTA RP setting.
