What is a Streamlabs Overlay?
A Streamlabs overlay is a set of visual elements — webcam borders, stream screens, alerts, and panels — designed to work natively with Streamlabs Desktop. Unlike generic overlays that require manual setup, Streamlabs overlays import with a single click through the Scene Collection menu. Each package in our store includes a quick-install file that configures all scenes, sources, and alert widgets automatically. Whether you stream on Twitch or YouTube our Streamlabs overlays are preconfigured for every platform. Explore all stream overlays for every theme and aesthetic.
