Streamer Overlays

Streamer Overlays are one of the key parts to any stream. For a streamer who does not use a green screen it is the key design element to a stream that brings their personality to the stream while helping separating them for their game of choice or other content. Event when a streamer chooses to use a green screen a streamer might use an overlay to track elements of their stream.

Overlays can either be simple as a framing tool to something more and track stats like sub count, donations, bit donations, etc. Just like any design element for a streamer it comes down to what kind of streamer are they wanting to have. If the stream is focused on goals and that is established for the community, than trackers are a solid option. For a streamer who is more personality driven the better is to have an overlay that does not have a tracker so it can be more focused on the creator and their content.

Static Overlay vs Animated Overlay

Overlays have the ability to be static image or an animated version. Either option are solid for their respective stream that they work best in. The goal of an animated overlay is to make sure that it is not overwhelming and not to much in the face of the viewer. Subtly is key for overlay animations having a logo spin for a second every 5 to 10 seconds. Or having a light rotate around the frame also helps.

The question becomes is it worth it for the stream or the streamer’s budget. The main deciding factor if it is worth for the stream is what kind of content are they having. Some streams that are more focused on competitive content might not use animation at all or more subtle content than other streamers would.
