How To Add Overlays
When browsing Twitch you are bound to see some streams which really visually impress. The streamers webcam may have a border or the game may be stylistically framed. This is because the streamer has added an overlay to personalise and add a real brand to their stream. Adding this to your stream is actually really easy, let us show you how.
Why Add An Overlay?
Overlays can add a air of professionalism to your stream. For streamers without a green screen it nicely compartmentalises the webcam and can help build a brand for your stream by having a certain style. It can also display information to your viewers, like most recent followers, subscribers or donations, rewarding those who perform these actions with a longer lasting stream presence than a simple alert. It also encourages more viewers to perform these actions by having them displayed within the stream itself.
