Why streamers use it

Your chat on screen, without the hassle.

Nothing to connect

No bot and no account to link. It reads your Twitch chat directly, like any viewer does.

Ten looks to start from

From a terminal to speech bubbles to a news ticker. Then the font, colours and layout are yours.

Every emote shows up

Twitch emotes plus 7TV, BTTV and FFZ, and the badges your chatters earned.

Keeps going when we don't

Messages come straight from Twitch, not through Overlabels, so chat keeps flowing even if Overlabels has a bad day.

Make it yours

Ten looks to start from.

Pick one in the designer, then tune the font, colours, layout and how long a message stays.

Clean

Glass rows, everyone in their own Twitch color. The one you never regret.

Terminal

Green on black in a mono font, a prompt before every name and a cursor blinking on the last line.

Bubbles

Speech bubbles with the name above each one, in a round friendly font. For cozy streams.

Neon

No background, a thin glowing outline and names that light up. Late nights and dark games.

Paper

Cream cards with dark ink and a soft shadow. The light one, for bright rooms and art streams.

Broadcast

A news ticker along the bottom edge, names in caps. Just Chatting and podcast formats.

Caption

Big centred text with a heavy shadow, gone after twelve seconds. Subtitles for IRL and talking-head streams.

Pixel

A pixel font, chunky borders and a hard drop shadow. Retro and indie games.

Cards

Each message its own card, the name as a header bar in the chatter's color, emotes big. Room for slow chats.

Vapor

Pink and cyan on deep purple glass, newest at the top, emotes oversized. For the chat that is mostly emotes anyway.

Ready in two steps

From this page to your stream.

Every step is a button on the next page. You never have to go looking for a setting.

  1. 1

    Get Twitch Chat Overlay

    Log in with Twitch. One click puts it in your account.

  2. 2

    Add it to OBS

    Copy one link into a Browser Source. Streamlabs Desktop and any other app with a browser source work the same way.

The feed fills whatever box you give it in OBS. 500 by 800 is a good start for a stacked feed, 1920 by 80 for the ticker.

Questions

Before you click.

Do deleted messages disappear?

Yes. When a moderator deletes a message or times someone out, it comes off your overlay too.

Can I hide commands or certain chatters?

Yes. You can hide messages that start with ! and hide chosen accounts, like other bots.

Do my viewers need to do anything?

No. They chat like they always do.

Is it really free?

Yes. Overlabels has no tiers, no trial and no card to enter. Every product is free.

Can I remove it later?

Yes. One button on the product's page removes it and everything it installed.

Put your chat on screen tonight.

Free. Two steps.
