Thank you for the tutorial. I downloaded the zip file which contains the gray, blue, and red overlay banners. I do not see the templates for making your own overlays, which is was what I was most in need of. Is there a file to download for the templates?

[@ernestcleogrant]

Yes! Thank you.

[@jeremygreen619]

Okay I freaked out a little bit too soon and now I feel really really bad. I did get the templates just like promised and this is actually a really good video that does show you a lot and I'm sorry about the spam thing I was having a bad day and everywhere I went all I could find was things expand read and didn't give me anything and I was just I'd had it. But this video actually did everything it said it would; it was a great video I highly recommended and thank you very much.

Hi ! I have a question. How many overlays can we add? And is it 100 mb for each or up to 100 mb of overlays we can add? Please reply.

[@gracereformedbaptistchurch4395]

I’m new to StreamYard and I love it. I love your action banners sounds and overlays. I had no clue that you could use a video for overlays (saw that in your other video). I used PowerPoint, but I couldn’t make an overlay that was transparent. Do you recommend not using PP? What is the editing tool you are using? Good stuff thanks!

[@mrsdesireerose]

I use photoshop, but you can use adobe spark. you just need a png with a transparent background. And you can use Kapwing like I did in this video. For video overlays, go here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/op6ze2d-Yqehjck

[@gracereformedbaptistchurch4395]

Desiree Martinez awesome, thank you very much. I have one silly question that maybe you know about and have encountered. I keep getting messages “want to be friends” from the same guy, but he uses like 7 or 8 different accounts. Does that happen a lot? It’s kinda creepy and I didn’t know if this was normal. Can that be blocked etc?

@@mrsdesireerose I have entered my e-mail multiple times and still haven't received the free templates

[@slappadabass1977]

I really wish Streamyard would let you create different themes. I find the Banners feature very useful, but useless at the same time because I cannot apply custom themes to them. Unless I am missing something. Meaning they don't fit my corporate branding. The font for banners doesn't meet my companies branding needs. The layout of the blocks that display the name doesn't meet my companies branding needs. Overlays won't cut it. I can't make an overlay for ever banner or text block I want to include in my videos! Streamyard really needs to fix this. There themes are one size fits all.
