I downloaded my Overlay files. How do I install them?

Installation of this product involves using Media, Image, and Text sources. If you’re unfamiliar with these, please make sure to familiarize yourself with the streaming software you use.

Here's how to get your files into your streaming software.

  1. Unzip the files you’ve downloaded onto your computer.
  2. Open your streaming software. Add animated parts (WEBM files) by adding “Media Sources” and locating your desired overlay elements. There are preset layouts OR modular elements to customize to your needs. Mix and match as needed.
  3. Skip this step if you do not need to add custom text to the labels. The easiest way to add your custom text is to load one of the blank WEBM files and add a ‘Text’ layer over the top using the recommended font.
  4. To add dynamic supporter tags, add in Text sources and connect them to the appropriate text file. This will be done using apps like Streamlab’s Stream Labels or the Muxy Ticker. We recommend using the fonts listed in the “Before You Install” section.
  5. Any Scenes can be set up in a similar process (Starting Soon, BRB, etc.). In your new Scenes you will add in Media files from the “Screens” folder, Images from the “Icons”, and Text sources to add custom text needed. Again, please use the recommended font.
  6. Please use any demo images or movies for reference on recommended layouts.
