What is a StreamElements Overlay?
StreamElements overlays are stream graphics that integrate through the StreamElements dashboard. Unlike file-based overlays, StreamElements uses browser-source URLs — you create an overlay in the StreamElements editor, copy the URL, and paste it into OBS Studio or Streamlabs as a Browser Source. Our packages include both the traditional file-based install (for standalone OBS) and StreamElements-compatible assets so you can set up your stream whichever way you prefer. Browse all twitch overlays for every theme and style.
