Stream overlays for vMix

CrispOverlays works in vMix as a browser source. Add one URL and every overlay in your stream — lower thirds, tickers, alerts, timers, webcam frames — shows up on top of your scene.

After that you never touch vMix again to change graphics. Edit text, colours and data in CrispOverlays and the change appears on stream instantly, without refreshing the source.
