What is a Twitch Overlay?
An overlay is decoration for your virtual room. They're graphics that can sit around a webcam or gameplay, and bring some of your own personality to your stream. Beyond that they also add definition to certain elements, like viewer shoutouts, or messages you'd like to show. This makes those elements more engaging, and brings your stream to life.
We've been doing this since 2014! And have built up a truly diverse selection of stream graphics to decorate and inform from top to bottom, with webcam frames, social media panels, and stream info panels. Helping you show off follows & subs with twitch alerts, and even more.

Understanding Twitch Overlay Downloads
Starting Soon Screens & Stream Alerts
Starting soon screens (also BRB screens, and Stream Offline screens) probably require little explanation - these are graphics and animations that fill your Scenes in OBS Studio or Streamlabs OBS, designed to keep viewers updated when you're not on-screen. They normally come as .JPG images, or .WEBM & .MP4 video files.
Stream alerts are little graphics (often animated) that pop up on screen during streams shouting out viewers who've followed, subbed, donated, or cheered. They're effective and engaging ways to make your audience feel valued. These are provided as .GIF, .PNG, or .WEBM files, all compatible with Streamlabs.
Twitch Banner & Avatar Templates
A Twitch banner is found on your profile page, while the avatar is used throughout the site. A number of stream packages on the site include matching stream banner & avatar templates you can easily edit with your own info.
These Twitch banner & avatar templates are normally provided as .PSD files for you to customise manually, or have the customised for you by selecting Pro Customisation when choosing a Buy Option.
Tips on how to get setup
If you like the sound of customising and personalising your stream, but are still unsure on what's required, we have a guides section that could help.
Not only are there walkthroughs on the initial setup, but also on how to edit some of the designs you'll find here. Each guide is easy to follow, and quicker than it looks to make use of.
Free stuff in our newsletter
Our newsletter is quite literally just an excuse for us to give away paid content. Over the past year we've given away VX Pro Chroma, Razor Purple, and Carbon stream overlays (each worth between $10-12) simply as a thanks for being subscribed. And when we're not doing that we're putting exclusive discounts in there, so generally it's a win-win.
Earn money as an affiliate
If your stream is picking up a little momentum and you're looking into ways to monetize, consider giving our affiliate program a try. The minimum requirements to join are very fair, and as you grow and refer more people our way, we'll bump up your cut! Plus once you become a preferred affiliate you can request any overlay at no cost.
