What Is a Twitch Overlay ?
Even if you are a new streamer you have probably heard about Twitch overlays. These overlays are a set of graphics used by a streamer to help reinforce their brand or even display information.
Although these layouts were first used on Twitch, they have become so popular that you will also see them being used on other streaming platforms.
These overlay packages usually consist of static images, animations and widgets displayed using streamer software.
How To Add Your Overlays To Twitch, YouTube and Facebook Gaming ?
In order to add your overlays to a livestream you will first need streamer software such as OBS or Streamlabs. When setting up these overlays you will configure them with streamer software rather than directly through your streaming platform.
The most popular streaming software is OBS (Open Broadcasting Software) or Streamlabs OBS or XSplit. This software allows you to combine lots of different sources into one output.
This software allows you to display, webcam feeds, game play, images, animations and even web pages.
All of our packages come with a quick install file for Streamlabs OBS. This means with one click you can have all of your scenes and sources ready to go. However if you are using OBS then you would have to do a lot more manual work to get the overlays set up. Luckily we provide a full guide to help you.

Are Source Files Included ?
As a general rule of thumb the majority of our products do come with source files included.
However you should check the details of each product. They will detail whether or not source files are included. Additionally they indicate for which elements the source files are available and the file format.
Can I Use Twitch Overlays with Other Streaming Platforms ?
Put simply, yes. Although a better question is whether the overlays will work with your streaming software such as OBS, Streamlabs or Streamelements. Popular streaming software allow you to go live on different platforms. Therefore if the overlays work with your streaming software you can expect them to also work with other platforms.
Our designs are created to work with OBS, Streamlabs and Streamelements which are the most popular software out there.
How Do I Edit My Twitch Overlays & Layouts ?
While our overlay templates provide a great starting point for streamers. You may be the type of streamer who really wants to put your own spin on the overlays. While there are features like colour correction available, this may not be enough for those with an eye for detail.
Most of our overlay packages come with the photoshop source files. If you have photoshop this will allow you to customize the graphics. Unfortunately we do not yet provide the After Effects source files to allow for complete customisation of the animated files.
We are working on providing these to you in the future and will also provide tutorials on how to use them.
