What are stream overlays and what are they for?

Twitch or Stream overlays are interactive graphics, animations, or widgets that are displayed in a stream during the live broadcast. There are several types of overlays, such as webcam frames, logos or content box frames that serve as brand identity. Other overlays like panels, buttons, or donate panels display interactive content like Twitch top donators, YouTube likes, or new subs and followers. Overlays add important functionality to streams to entertain viewers and attract new followers. That's why Twitch overlays are so popular for so many streamers and other content creators.

How do Twitch overlays work?

Overlays are part of the live broadcast and embedded directly into the stream. They are images, videos or widgets that are placed as a mask over the live video. They can be images, videos or widgets that are placed as a mask over the live video. Sometimes they can be displayed as transitions under certain conditions.

All stream content works with appropriate streaming software such as OBS (Open Broadcaster Software), Streamlabs or XSplit. This software can record multiple video sources simultaneously and play them back in one broadcast. For you, it means that you can record the screen content and a webcam video at the same time and broadcast them live.

Difference between static and dynamic templates

Image overlays are static and without animation. Common formats are e.g. .PNG, .JPG. These are usually included as an "image source" in the streaming software. Such static images you can generate with Streamdps for free. They can also be created by software like Adobe Photoshop or Affinity designer.

However, dynamic overlays that are included as video files (.WEBM) are much more popular. Video files have stunning special effects and animations, and can display dynamic content like likes, followers, or game stats. This is a great advantage and opens thousands of possibilities to interact with viewers on Twitch, Youtube or Facebook.

Almost content on Streamdps is dynamic and has countless animations and backgrounds to choose from. All you need is a premium account or a life-time access to the template of your choice.
