There are two ways to move and resize your image. But it probably makes more sense to add a graphic that contains your Twitter username, or a cool-looking overlay.
You should see your image, as well as other sources that have been added to your stream. Step 3: Move, reorder, and resize the imageĬlick Preview Stream to see what your stream currently looks like.
When you're done tweaking the image settings, click OK. If you want the entire image to be semi-transparent, set the Opacity to a number lower than 100. to find the image you want to use on your computer. Name your image source and then click Browse. Right-click inside the Sources box and click Add > Image.
Once you've finished making your logo, overlay, or other image that you want to superimpose on your Twitch stream, open Open Broadcaster Software and select the scene you want to add the image to ( learn how to create a scene here). SteamPro is a free tool with a drag-and-drop overlay maker, and sites like Twitch Overlay and Strexm offer free overlays. You'll also want to make sure your overlay has the same dimensions as the screen you'll be playing on. If you want to make your own overlay, it's smart to take a screenshot of the game you'll be playing so you can make sure everything lines up correctly. Overlays occupy the entire screen and thus must have transparent elements (PNG format) so your game and video feed can show through. Overlays get a little complicated because they usually surround and enhance the game's interface and are often tailored to specific games. It's best to save your image in PNG format so any blank spots in the image will be transparent. You can simply make an image using Adobe Photoshop or a free image editor like GIMP, without worrying about sizing or the game's interface. Logos are a little easier to create from scratch, because you don't need to work within the constraints of whatever game you'll be playing. Step 1: Find/make an imageįirst, you'll need to decide what type of image you want to add to your stream: A logo, or a standalone image that occupies one part of the screen or an overlay, a border or a frame that covers the entire screen and surrounds your video game, webcam, and other sources.
Well, you don't need to be a professional to look professional - adding an image or an overlay to your stream is easy.
Some Twitch streams stand out from the rest with snazzy graphics and overlays that add an air of professionalism.
