I really appreciate those words. Its not easy to make these type of videos digestable and I am sure I am not always clear during my own content. So hopefully the people you had trouble with will improve over time like I am trying to do.
thank you for helping me and us all begin our streaming journey. This video should be way more popular considering how helpful you were. Thank you and good luck to everyone on their streaming careers. I'll see you out there guys!
This comment means so much. I appreciate it. I will keep doing my best to help you all because I was there starting out at one point too and I know it was tough being alone.
Thank you for the short ans concise video. Somehow I managed to get my alert noises to layer themselves but the fact I even have them set up shows the video worked. Thank you kindly (a year later)
dang!!!! I was looking for a dramatic way to start my streaming journey haha...I'm glad I came across your video It is very easy to understand, thanks man
First off, congrats on the start of your streaming journey! Hopefully we can be of some help along the way. Secondly, thank you so much for the kind words and commenting.
So glad that I could be of some help! I have a newer guide I posted a few days ago if you need some additional help or different perspectives. Thanks for commenting.
Happy that it helped you! We have a newer version of this video if you need some additional help. th-cam.com/video/wwTq3F0MKR8/w-d-xo.htmlsi=7dgdWAqvMX1RLAs9
You go into the overlay on streamelements, find the element you want to change on the left where all of them are listed, click on it, then look below all of them and you should see settings and other options. I show quickly how to do it with the alert box (check the chapter markers), but instead of the alert box you would just click the subscriber box or member box etc...
Can you both explain your issue in detail? Have you updated OBS to the newest version? The reason I ask is, I have done multiple videos using the same method and it works like clockwork. So there must be something a little different going on than streamelements messing up.
As long as you have your console hooked up to a graphics card (and I believe HDCP or whatever it is also has to be off, at least on ps4/5) then you should be able to open obs, add a video capture device and then select your capture card. Resize it then follow all the steps in this video. I have multiple tutorials on how to setup a basic obs so follow that. Then follow the free overlays tutorial. If you dont have a capture card allowing your console to send video to the pc, you cant use obs, which is what this whole video is based on. Did that help?
@@creatorcologyyes it did. I never expected your response to be this quick! But what if i linked my ps5 to my twitch account? Wouldn't that basically mean that I have both OBS running on my laptop and the gameplay coming from my console?
No problem! As for your next question. Thats not how it works. Twitch does NOT send encode your feed then send it to obs on your laptop then send it back to twitch. OBS is meant to be used BEFORE your feed gets to Twitch. Twitch is the endpoint. Think of the flow like this. PS5 -> capture card -> obs (on laptop) -> twitch (final destination) PS5 -> twitch app (final destination) Those are the only two routes for console users I am sorry.
In the talking/gameplay overlay, what do I do if I want to add 2 more face cams besides my own? I’ll delete the chat box but how do I add 2 more cam spaces? I don’t see that option inthe stream elements overlay. I could add 2 more cams in OBS but it won’t have the frames around the two new cams
If you mean the alerts and features of the overlays then there should be a section on the left when you are in the streamelements overlay that has music options. Sound effects and such that come with it should be in one of the elements after you click on them.
what if im on kick how can i get the widgets to work for that im also a gamble streamer and would like to upgrade my stream im willing to pay to learn how or hire some one to do it for me
I have not tried it on kick however, the general idea is that these overlays are based on browser sources, so in theory you should be able to follow the steps and see.
Thank you for commenting. Can you delete all instances of your camera source and try again? Could it be that its buried under other sources? Did you open 2 OBS instances or just one? Sometimes the capture card method only lets one application use the camera at a time.
You can link up OBS to Streamdeck via a free official streamdeck store plugin, or you can set a key on stream deck and then go into OBS and designate that key in the hot key section under switch scene to [whatever you call your scenes].
You should be able to in the streamelements overlay on the left side. You need to find the element or label you are looking for and then the text should be editable. If you look at my newer OBS Free overlay video the steps should be even easier to follow. Here is that video. About halfway through is the streamelements part. th-cam.com/video/wwTq3F0MKR8/w-d-xo.html
Hey Mack! Good question, the moment you tagged was just a safety reminder for people to save if they messed with stuff in order for the changes to appear on their OBS screen. You didn't miss anything don't worry. I also did not go into great detail about all the changes you could do in this video because there is a lot of options. Maybe in another video I could mess around with those overlays more.
Hi so idk if you can help me I wanted overlays but I didn’t know if it was possible for ps4 I don’t stream with pc but apparently I can I was told I can go to creator dashboard > extensions > overlay expert > free samples But I bought an overlay and now I want to upload it instead of using the samples and now I don’t know how to upload it And what sucks even more is I don’t have photoshop so I need something free and I really need help is there anyway you can guide me? Yes I have a laptop
In order to stream a console using your laptop with a custom overlay you need an external capture card and OBS. I have plenty of tutorials on how to set up overlays in OBS. As far as I know, streaming directly from a console gives you very limited options in what you are able to do. Hope this makes sense.
As for photoshop, I dont know of any free alternatives that can open psd files (photoshop project files). You can create basic overlays in canva which is free and there is a more advanced photoshop alternative called Affinity but its a one time fee and I dont know if it can open psd. Google is your best friend for this part of it.
You should be able to go to the left side where all the elements of the overlay are and delete everything you don't want minus the video box. Hope that helps, sorry for the late response.
As you follow the steps and load in an overlay there should be no duplicates. It might show that way on my screen because I have 2 OBS instances running at the same time to record what I am doing.
this is one. of the best guides on OBS I've seen - deserves way more views. simple, clear and no rambling or philosophy - just pure value
THANK YOU FOR BEING CLEAR,CONSISE, AND NOT BEATING AROUND BUSHES. SHADE TO THE 3 VIDEOS I WATCHED BEFORE THIS

What about changing info on the downloaded overlay?? Like TH-cam name and such
thank you
Glad it helped you! Thank you for commenting.
I might have missed this part but how do I change the text inside the various boxes? Like youtube name, twitter name and so forth?
You go into the overlay on streamelements, find the element you want to change on the left where all of them are listed, click on it, then look below all of them and you should see settings and other options. I show quickly how to do it with the alert box (check the chapter markers), but instead of the alert box you would just click the subscriber box or member box etc...
My overlay doesnt show up when i copy over the browser source link wtf
Same here
Can you both explain your issue in detail? Have you updated OBS to the newest version? The reason I ask is, I have done multiple videos using the same method and it works like clockwork. So there must be something a little different going on than streamelements messing up.
Very cool but how do I disable the webcams?
thank you
also you need the panels to update twich
bro thanx a lot

Hello! What a video! Can I still be able to add my display capture in the gaming section even if I play on console?
As long as you have your console hooked up to a graphics card (and I believe HDCP or whatever it is also has to be off, at least on ps4/5) then you should be able to open obs, add a video capture device and then select your capture card. Resize it then follow all the steps in this video.

Did that help?

OBS is meant to be used BEFORE your feed gets to Twitch. Twitch is the endpoint. Think of the flow like this. PS5 -> capture card -> obs (on laptop) -> twitch (final destination)
PS5 -> twitch app (final destination)
Those are the only two routes for console users I am sorry.
@@creatorcologyaaah ok. Now I get it! Thanks brother!
I do have a question how did u get it to Transition to the next screen in 7:48?
any way to change icons on overlay like if i dont want the facebook icon youtube icon or twitter icon any way to take them off or change them
One thing I don't like is that their website is absolutely trash. It's very slow and doesn't load anything. My internet is just fine.
In the talking/gameplay overlay, what do I do if I want to add 2 more face cams besides my own? I’ll delete the chat box but how do I add 2 more cam spaces? I don’t see that option inthe stream elements overlay. I could add 2 more cams in OBS but it won’t have the frames around the two new cams
Do you know how to add these overlays and put like audio/music over them while they’re playing?
If you mean the alerts and features of the overlays then there should be a section on the left when you are in the streamelements overlay that has music options. Sound effects and such that come with it should be in one of the elements after you click on them.
Everytime I click edit on my overlays it's showing this message ? Uh-oh...
Overlay does not exist
nice
Can you make it so when you switch to a be right back scene that it mutes your mic and desktop audio?
Yes I believe so. You could also just not include those sources in your brb scene to begin with and that would be functionally the same.
what if im on kick how can i get the widgets to work for that im also a gamble streamer and would like to upgrade my stream im willing to pay to learn how or hire some one to do it for me
Hello! This is a great question. Do you mind hitting me up in a twitter dm? I want to see if I can help more.
does it work for sites like kick or only what i connected it with? like i signed up with my twitch does it only work on twitch now?
I have not tried it on kick however, the general idea is that these overlays are based on browser sources, so in theory you should be able to follow the steps and see.
@@creatorcology it doesnt works on kick since its connected to twitch, tho there are similar softwares that offer the same service
Ah. I see your point. Have they added kick integration yet or naw?
setting in streamlab obs ? 1920 1080 or not bro thanks
I dont believe I mentioned anything about StreamLabs. What are you asking specifically?
On My Talking Scene My Cam Still Doesnt Show Up But It Shows Up On My Gameplay Scene. (I can see myself on one but not the other)
Thank you for commenting.
Can you delete all instances of your camera source and try again? Could it be that its buried under other sources? Did you open 2 OBS instances or just one? Sometimes the capture card method only lets one application use the camera at a time.
wht if you live with kick
Bro my god what if I don’t even have the overlay option?
How do you add starting stream and stream ending to a stream deck?
You can link up OBS to Streamdeck via a free official streamdeck store plugin, or you can set a key on stream deck and then go into OBS and designate that key in the hot key section under switch scene to [whatever you call your scenes].

Thank you for watching and commenting!
Heya! Can I rewrite the captions on these overlays somehow?
You should be able to in the streamelements overlay on the left side. You need to find the element or label you are looking for and then the text should be editable. If you look at my newer OBS Free overlay video the steps should be even easier to follow.
Here is that video. About halfway through is the streamelements part.

How do you make changes tho ? @ 4:36 🧐🧐🧐

I also did not go into great detail about all the changes you could do in this video because there is a lot of options. Maybe in another video I could mess around with those overlays more.
Is there a stinger for the theme or no?
I believe they all come with stingers built in.
how to reset the bot donos
Hi so idk if you can help me
I wanted overlays but I didn’t know if it was possible for ps4 I don’t stream with pc but apparently I can
I was told I can go to creator dashboard > extensions > overlay expert > free samples

How would I only apply a video capture overlay?
You should be able to go to the left side where all the elements of the overlay are and delete everything you don't want minus the video box. Hope that helps, sorry for the late response.
Can't seem to find anything "free" on that website
Can you explain? Everyone else in the comments seem to be doing well and adding overlays to their streams without having to pay. What is the issue?
bro can we collab and do minecraft series pls
Why is my overlay so zoomed in like I can’t see it
If you are in obs, right click the source, go to transform, then fit to screen
how do you get rid of the duplicate background for gameplay?
As you follow the steps and load in an overlay there should be no duplicates. It might show that way on my screen because I have 2 OBS instances running at the same time to record what I am doing.
@@creatorcology awesome!! Thank you. I love how easy you made it seem when going through this.
