How to set up a stream overlay
Step 1
After purchase, the full design will be available for you to download. Download the RAR file and save it to your computer. After downloading you can unpack the archive file and use it immediately.
Step 2
Now start the free streaming tool OBS Studio. If you don't have OBS installed on your PC yet, you can start the downloadhereand do it in a few steps.
Step 3
After starting OBS, you now have to insert your purchased stream overlay directly into OBS. Specifically, you create a scene in the program, which you then equip with the corresponding sources. When you start OBS for the first time, a scene is already set up and ready to use. If you want, you can rename this scene (right click on the name -> Rename).
Step 4
Now it's time to insert your new overlay. To do this, click on the plus symbol in the "Sources" area and select the menu item “Media source”. You can of course give the source a suitable name. Then click on “OK”.
Step 5
The next window is about locating the files of the stream overlay. Click Browse and navigate to the folder where you downloaded and unzipped the overlay. Select the appropriate file and click Open. Now set the checkmark to "Endless loop" so that the file remains continuously animated, and click on "OK".
Step 6
You can then repeat this process for all overlay elements (webcam, Intermission banner, etc.) until your stream design is complete. Later, you can still adjust, move, or hide the individual overlay elements in the OBS Studio preview screen. This is how to put an overlay on your broadcast.

What comes in a complete stream overlay package?
Stream overlay
Stream overlays are the collection of designs you see on a stream. A stream overlay package contains stream overlays, intermission banners, alerts, transitions, and panels alongside backgrounds and profile graphics. These graphical assets offer a consistent theme for your broadcast and they make it more visually appealing for the viewers. They come in a wide variety of styles and tones and feature every element a stream overlay should include. Our premium overlays at OWN3D are crafted with you in mind and are very popular with content creators all around the world.
Start, Intermission, End and Offline banners
If you are consistently streaming for multiple hours a day, there are going to be some points where you need to take a break. Whether it is to use the restroom or to grab yourself some water, breaks are important for a stream but they interrupt the flow. Having a good intermission banner help with this. Instead of the usual empty chair on the webcam (and the silence and the viewer confusion), you will get a great animated intermission banner with our stream overlay package. We also offer a banner for when your stream is offline to further enhance your broadcast’s graphical identity.
Stream alerts
A good stream alert will bring your viewers’ attention to every subscription or donation, giving those who support you the highlight they deserve. Indeed, this is often a big reason why they decide to do so in the first place, or to even stick around and resubscribe for that monthly dose of dopamine. This is why we put extra special care into designing our alerts: it is one of the key parts of audience interaction in the streaming world.
Animated stream transitions
If you have multiple scenes set up for your stream, having a good transition is important since sudden scene changes can be quite jarring for the viewers. An appealing animated transition will give your stream a more professional feeling. Our animated stream transitions are made to match the theme of the overlay package that you purchased and are a great fit for all content creators.
Panels, Backgrounds and more static graphics
The package also contains elements that you can use as your header image for all channels you are streaming on, backgrounds for your desktop and profile, plus other static graphics for elements like the About me section or a crosslink to your donation page.

Frequently asked questions
Stream overlays are the graphical designs that are on top of a stream that provides their unique visual identity. These elements give each stream its own unique flair. They give viewers an idea of the kind of content they’re checking out from the type of game to the personality of the content creator. If you want to stand out and get people interested in your streams, buying a premium overlay from OWN3D will definitely help.
Our premium stream designs work with Twitch, YouTube, Facebook and any other broadcasting platform. They are also compatible with all major streaming tools: OBS Studio, Twitch Studio, XSplit, or any broadcasting software you want to work with.
Stream overlays are a great way to improve the visual style and the attractiveness of your stream. OWN3D’s wide variety of unique designs can greatly help you to stand out of the pack and to craft your own identity as a streamer
Each of our stream overlays here at OWN3D is custom-made. However, we very rarely create custom overlays specifically for one streamer. We have done so for some of the largest streamers in the world, but our team of highly sought-after artists would quickly get overwhelmed if we offered this feature on a wider basis – which would mean they wouldn’t be able to work on the amazing stream designs available in the store!
It is certainly possible to create your own stream overlay but like with most other fields of design, you will most likely get better results by relying on experts and professionals. The best case is that you do a competent job at the cost of a lot of time and dedication, which you could have turned towards your actual passion: streaming and entertaining your own audience!
We at OWN3D bring our team of experts to the table exactly to help you focus on the important parts of content creation: the less time you’re spending on streaming, the less you and your channel are growing. Before you jump into the process of creating your own overlay, why not take a look around our shop? You might just find an awesome design you fall in love with, install it in just a couple of minutes and you can immediately jump back into streaming with your great new graphics!
Our free overlay offerings are available with the freeOWN3D Protool for OBS Studio. It offers one-click installations for the free overlays, easy stream alerts, Epidemic Sound integration, a chatbot and many other features that make your streaming experience all the easier!
Such tools are available online but they inevitably offer lower-quality solutions than anything a team of awesome and dedicated designers can come up with with their hand-crafted products. Just like with so many other products, unique designs created by masters of their craft are going to be superior to random generators. This is especially important when it comes to stream overlays because these designs are the first thing new viewers see when they browse for new channels to watch. We recommend that you take a look around the OWN3D shop and see the kind of incredible quality we have on offer, something no overlay generator can match.
You can do so if you’d like but the quality of your viewers’ experience will suffer in the process. If you start streaming without a stream overlay, you might not look as professional as other streamers in your category. If that is the case, a new viewer might skip over your stream, which means your stream won’t be growing as fast as it could be otherwise. Our excellent designs and easy-to-use overlays make it incredibly straightforward for you to create a professional look for your stream. Check out our large library of excellent content pieces to see just how big a difference they make!
