Custom Overlays
Design overlays that support your brand, improve readability, and make your stream feel more intentional.
Custom overlays help your stream look more polished while giving viewers useful visual context. Things like webcam frames, alerts, labels, and chat boxes can reinforce your brand when they are designed with intention instead of added as afterthoughts.
🛠️ Crafting Custom Overlays
🎬 Adding Overlays in OBS Studio
Incorporate your overlay components in OBS by adding them as image sources.
Strategically place elements on your canvas to ensure no vital content is obscured.
Utilize OBS's layering capabilities to organize your overlays, ensuring alerts and webcam feeds are visible above other elements.
Conduct test streams to verify that all components operate as intended and make adjustments as needed.
Well-made overlays can make your stream look cleaner, communicate key information quickly, and strengthen your visual identity. Aim for consistency, readability, and a style that actually fits your content.
