I found an overlay that had the trifecta (a separate look for starting your stream, your in-game activity, and any breaks you take) and selected it. They won’t wow you - not if you’re looking for some wild and original animation you can use whenever someone subscribes to your channel - but the basic offerings are a big step above nothing, so there’s that. Once I created a free account on, I immediately jumped to its overlays browser and began scrolling through the service’s selections. You get a generous helping of standard overlays to pick from (for “starting soon,” “taking a break,” and in-game moments), and you can tweak these premade overlays to add new information (or widgets) with the site’s easy-to-use online editor. While there are plenty of places where you can find free overlays, I like the fact that ’s setup is based in the cloud. For those who are getting started with streaming-and who want to make their streams look slightly better than the simple “head in the corner” setup you typically see - I recommend checking out. You have to either create them yourself, using a tool like PhotoShop or After Effects, or you’ll have to download them from somewhere else and integrate them into your stream. Overlays and animations can be super fun, but they’re not the kind of thing you’ll find baked into most streaming software (like OBS, XSplit, GeForce Experience, and so on). Typically there’s some kind of announcement animation and some silly sound - a musical riff, a quote from some science-fiction movie, et cetera.
If you’ve ever spent time watching streams on Twitch, Mixer, YouTube, Facebook, or whatever, you’ve probably noticed all the fun ways that streamers announce new subscribers (and tips).
Create Free Overlays For Your Game Streams With This SiteĪs much as I’ve wanted to give game-streaming a try, I’m always tentative to jump into the Twitch waters for two reasons: I don’t have a solid background behind my gaming desktop’s chair, which would make it tricky to key out everything but my face, and I don’t have any neat animations that would keep all 10 viewers engaged with my stream.
