Stream overlay questions, answered

What are stream overlays?

Stream overlays are graphics layered on top of your camera or screen during a live stream — lower thirds, tickers, webcam frames, alerts, timers and more. They make a stream look professional and give viewers context.

How do I add an overlay to OBS Studio?

Copy your stream’s browser source URL from CrispOverlays, then in OBS click + in Sources, choose Browser, paste the URL and set 1920 × 1080. That’s it.

Does it work with Streamlabs, XSplit, vMix and Twitch Studio?

Yes. Any streaming software that supports a browser source can display CrispOverlays, including OBS Studio, Streamlabs Desktop, XSplit, vMix, Twitch Studio, Meld Studio and PRISM Live Studio.

Do changes really appear live without refreshing?

Yes. Your overlay stays connected to CrispOverlays, so text, colour, data and visibility changes appear on stream as soon as you make them.

Which platforms can I stream to?

CrispOverlays works wherever your streaming software sends video: YouTube Live, Twitch, Kick, Facebook Live, TikTok LIVE, LinkedIn Live, X and multistreaming services like Restream.

Do I need to download anything?

No. You design and control overlays in your web browser or on your phone. Your streaming app loads them as a browser source.

Is CrispOverlays free?

Yes — the Free plan includes one stream with one overlay at a time and real-time text editing. Paid plans remove the watermark and unlock more streams, overlays, branding and team members.

Can my producer control the overlays?

Yes. Invite teammates on Creator and Studio, or share a producer link on Studio so a co-host can run graphics from a phone without an account.
