What is an overlay?
A twitch overlay can be a border around your webcam, or it can be a full 1080p graphic that takes up the whole frame. Normally the overlay is a transparent PNG file. that sits above your game capture window, and your webcam. It’s almost like your stream is wearing a mask, and you position things underneath it so everything lines up nicely.
Thoughts?
I believe that streaming should be made to look attractive by providing graphics to the streamer brand name and logo as it helps utilise the full extent of their business model.
