I am brand new to streaming/content creation and working with limited tech and a limited budget and I have to say that this is the BEST tutorial I have found on the whole interwebs for teaching someone streaming from console how to spice up their stream!

Correct. You don’t have to have one, but it can be done with one easier if you do.

[@BlankingAngler]

Yes this works! I’ve used for a while but if a viewer is watching on a phone or iPad it will not show overlays or alerts

[@Layyeditzzz]

@@BlankingAngler can you do it on mobile?

[@ROBBiESMiTTENS]

Dude, this has been ridiculously helpful!! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE EASY STEP BY STEP GUIDE!! Honestly, I've spent the last like three hours playing around with the first extension kind of expecting to be able to layer it with the second extension... even though you can't do both at once, I'm going to go ahead and get that second one set up so I can switch between the overlays depending on what I'm playing!!! Once again, THANK YOU!!!!!

[@audia414]

When I first started streaming this video didn’t exist yet, I was looking for overlays and alerts on console but just couldn’t find anything, I’m gonna be using this video to help my streams out, thanks for walking step by step on how to use these things.

[@DonavanBenoit]

This literally is the most helpful video ever because I did not want to go through the obs stuff on the laptop. I have been streaming, but not up to high standards until now! Thank you!!

[@DarkenedCyrus]

Love this comment l!

[@zuanverreynne8301]

Hey, I tried Overlay expert, I created a design, activated the extension and selected it as overlay 1, but it still does not work on my stream, can anyone let me know what they did or what I should do to fix this? Edit: I found out that you can't see overlay expert on Mobile, only on PC, and I was watching on my phone to see if it works, if anyone else has this problem, I hope this helps.

[@InfamousO]

We both decided on the clean theme at the same time LOL

[@rubenbgaming2340]

Dude, thank you for an answer that didn’t feel like it was dragged out for views. Definitely the most helpful thing I’ve seen so far. Keep at it man, and thank you!

Thanks man! The goal is to help. Views are great, but seeing people reach for their goals is so much better!

I really hope twitch adds to where people can see this on mobile. I feel like most people watch from their phone.

Thank you for this! I had a question about Overlay Expert, is there a way to change the colours of the layer inserts, for example on Orange Carbon, is there any way to change the colour of the orange parts in the corners? I’ve tried to but it only changes the colour of the transparent background and not the actual image itself! Is there a way to change the colours or are they locked in?

[@DarkenedCyrus]

I think they are locked in. Sorry!

[@blairzxahn6256]

thank you for everything you do sir

[@masterkwiefe]

This is really good and well explained, one little missed detail for overlay expert is that it will not show for people watching on the mobile app, only through a browser or desktop mode... If you wish to see if it works and you are only using a mobile device, you will need to select desktop mode in your settings, then it will be visible for you. Now keep in mind that anyone joining your stream through the mobile app will not know this and won't see the overlays/alerts... It's a shame overlay expert hasn't added this feature yet

The one thing that sucks about overlay expert set to overlay 1, is the fact that while you have your twitch overlay enabled, you still have no way of seeing who followed you.. there’s no option in there to see who followed you.. it only shows you recent followers but nothing will pop on your screen notifying you..

I have been searching through videos for hours and this looks like the end of my search. Thank you so much! I'll see if it works. Edit: it's not working. It says it's activate but it won't work when I test it on stream. Or maybe it's because my alternative account has already followed before.
