What is Overlay?
A graphical layer displayed on top of a stream that includes elements like webcam frames, alerts, chat boxes, and branding.
Stream overlays add visual polish to your broadcast. They can include webcam borders, recent follower/subscriber alerts, chat overlays, and branded graphics. Overlays are created using tools like OBS, Streamlabs, or dedicated overlay designers.
While overlays improve production quality, they're less important for growth than networking and community building. Focus on content and connections first, polish second.
