how did you get the overlay to actual work on you counsel??? It dont show anything on my videos for veiwers when streaming from counsel, only if i go live from pc
Thank you ! I’m a brand new to the streaming world and have no idea what I am doing. I wanted to stream through my console without a pc and I was told I wouldn’t be able to do an overlay through console streaming you just saved me. I’m gonna go through all your videos to get a better idea on what I’m doing.
WOW! Thank you soo much! I just started to stream on my PS4 & will eventually work my way to be a PC gamer/streamer. Wanted my stream to look better & you helped me!! Thankkk youuuu. 💕
I really appreciate this video. Very helpful. I do have a question though. I currently have 79 followers on Twitch. I wanted to make a followers goal panel on the bottom left much like you had. I type in Followers Goal: followed by the followers function and then do a /100 after it. It shows up in the preview but once I save everything the /100 disappears. Literally every time I change it back and save the /100 disappears. For the life of me I can't figure out why this is happening. Something you might know about that I could be doing wrong? Or maybe it's bugged? Thanks!
Thanks for the video. I have obs and can stream my ps4 from my computer but its so much more work to set it so I just started to try and stright from my console and this is really helpful. You got a new sub. Btw one question: can you only use only one alert in a specific spot or can you have multiple alerts in the same spot? Thanks and keep up the videos
Thanks you for the sub! It is possible to use more in on location, but you have to duplicate the source that is there. What I fear is that it won’t queue the alerts and they might stack on each other if you have multiple. I’d either prioritize an alert or have separate locations. A good idea is if you have your latest follow listed, duplicate that source and have the follow alert show for a new follower and put it above the latest follower that is on screen. When it activates, the new follower will show up over the latest follower and then disappear, showing the new follower as your latest follower. I hope that wasn’t too confusing!
Love your videos they have helped a lot! Wondering if you can set up 2 audio input devices on a PS5 stream directly from the console? So I can use my regular headset to do call outs etc that I can mute occasionally and the other like a blue yeti to use to talk to the stream with. If not possible is there a workaround? Thanks!
Make sure you save what you’ve made. Then activate the extension as Overlay one and configure it to use the overlay you made. Remember, you can only view the overlay from a browser
Hello. It was helpfull, but I feel some limitations with the extension. When someone is watching, they need to turn on the volume for themselfs in order to hear the alerts. Also, the overlay doesn't appear when watching on a mobile phone. Do you know how to solve this?
Please note everyone that this does not show up on mobile as it’s not compatible for some reason, and also pretty sure clip recordings or full stream recordings don’t have the overlay either
@@ahmadb314 as far as I know no, unless you use like OBS or a built streamer but there’s no such functions for console streaming and technically the mobile app is still seen as beta and so that’s why it doesn’t show up
So I set it up. The overlay appears on my stream via website. I know you said it doesn't show up on mobile yet. But I also don't see the overlay on my television while playing xbox and streaming via the Xbox twitch app. Is that suppose to happen?
I haven’t tested the overlay through the twitch app on consoles. I will go test it, but it seems it might not be. There is a part of Overlay expert that does work on all platforms which is a chat display. Join their discord and type !mobile and it will explain it!
It still doesnt work. I am streaming on my Xbox but don't have my PC connected somehow to the Xbox. But i don't need to do this, right? My Xbox Twitch Account and my PC Twitch Account are the same but i can only see the overlay on my PC but the others can not see it. Please help me
hey, i have a question: when i make a new content item, it shows up as: New content item. when i remove that and put down: latest follow and then the recent followers button it still shows up as: new content item and then my recent followers. is that suppose to happen?
I'm new to streaming & this has been informative. Although I'm still trying to figure out a method to show a chat box on console while streaming with the Twitch app (xbox one) like how the mixer app use to allow this option. Would greatly appreciate your or anyone's help with this.
Thanks! Unfortunately, there isn’t a way to add a chat box to the gaming screen like mixer had. You’ll have to use your phone as a chat box. This could be changed by twitch, but they haven’t done so yet.
@@DarkenedCyrus thanks! I've been researching this for a while with no success. As a console streamer it's a little frustrating. I've missed a few chat interactions I've noticed after the fact (exporting videos to RUclips) with no idea of how to view them or being able to respond while streaming. They really should add the option. Definitely going to set up some overlays. Thanks again!
I am using my own totally custom overlay, I have only tested that one live twice, and do you mean uninstall and reinstall the extension? Thank you for your video and time!
Dude this is awesome! Thanks for taking the time, you made it easy understand too. I have some questions on a different method you think you could help me?
Great vid! I see the overlay when im LIVE, but I dont see the overlay when watching the video on Twitch after my live session. How to do that? EDIT: You can record it on your pc with obs studio or streamlabs (screenrecord it) and post it on RUclips etc.
Bro you got a new subscribe from me. I very rarely see people being honest. No clickbate here . Respect. In this moral relativism world its rare to see honest people. Its ok to want more followers and subscribers to survive if that your income day/night job, as long as you dont lose yourself in the process. If you lose who you really are inside, it doesnt matter how much money or subscribers you have. Keep being honest and life will reward you, not necessary in money. If you have a clear heart and mind you are rich🙂
hello, but i made it and i test stream on my ps4, and saw the stream from the same account but on my phone, and it isn't there, i followed each step. what do i do?
Unfortunately, every few seconds it's asking me grant access again. Any reason why this would be doing that? I go through the steps and it says access granted successfully. Any help would be appreciated!
thanks for you guide. but why i cant see the overlay when im ended stream. before Live im check on PC the overlay is work fine, im closed pc and im back to PS5 and go Live. after that im back to check my live video ovelay is not working. how to fix it ??
Subbed to ya bro ta for the good info. Legend. I just started this channel the other day also twitch. Do you have any suggestions for single player games? Should i be on cam in a solo game or just mic? Cheers
Was super pumped! Got it somewhat set up. Opened the stream on gf laptop to see that it just made it freeze steadily. Maybe my internet? It's supposed to be highspeed. It was on a Chromebook but I went into the site version to watch. Idk, maybe the program isn't there yet?
So what do you think of this extension?
Darkened Cyrus it’s amazing!! But how do I use my customized overlay?
Darkened Cyrus because i edited the one you used, the orange carbon, saved it and everything but It doesn’t pop up in the overlay options
Thank you so much I've been having trouble with it and now It works
Glad it helped!
@@DarkenedCyrus it says it activated but when I look at my stream on my computer I cant see the overlay
Don’t ever comment on videos like this but u actually helped a lot chief. Thanks 🙏🏽
Thanks man! Glad it was helpful!

I very much appreciate this video. Easy to follow and great for a console gamer like me!
bro i need help do you know how to configure my overlay it wont show on my stream and says i need to configure it.
So how should we put it on the ps4 stream? I streamed it, it did not bring the ps4 layer.
Brilliant video. What a legend. Just what I need!
Thank you so much even after a year of you uploading this video it still really helped me keep it up!
Thank you for this Video. How you explain this it's super easy to implement. Greets to you and your community!

Whenever I search for overlay expert nothing shows up.
Great video! I copied everything and made the overlay however, I don't know how to apply it. What the process of applying it to my broadcasts??
Make sure you save what you’ve made. Then activate the extension as Overlay one and configure it to use the overlay you made. Remember, you can only view the overlay from a browser
@@DarkenedCyrus so if im playing on ps4, will my overlay show up for those watching even if they are mobile?😅 sorry im new to this.
If they are viewing in a browser, yes. Not the app
The music is killing this video, driving me nuts trying to follow along
Hi..! Why I cannot see my Overlay on the broadcasting. I can see just like a preview but, not on broadcast. On broadcast there's no overlay
You can't see it on your console. The only way to see th overlay is from a browser source like Chrome.
Thanks so much can't wait to apply it
Awesome tut. 🔥
Thanks!
I subbed just reading these comments before watching the video! Let’s go bro

Please note everyone that this does not show up on mobile as it’s not compatible for some reason, and also pretty sure clip recordings or full stream recordings don’t have the overlay either

In the place where you put the recent follower, there is a text line where you can edit what is shown. It’s above where you chose recent followers.
@@DarkenedCyrus okay, thnx
2:48 OHHH okay thank you because I was confused on why my mobile phone didn't show the overlay
Thank you for information, but how do I activate it on console, the overlays only shows up when broadcasting for mobile and pc.
They will show up automatically. Make sure you are viewing from a browser. They do not support mobile viewing!
@@DarkenedCyrus question what do you mean by viewing in a browser?
@@YG0Julian if you're watching on chrome, safari, etc. you'll be able to see the overlay

2:57 okay, i was wondering why when i went on my phone i couldn’t see my overlay
yeah me too
That’s very true

He did explain it tho. It’s because the app is technically still in beta. So you need a pc to see the overlays.
Would apear on the xbox twitch app?

How do you add your own pictures into this extension?
The most helpful video in terms of streaming. Thank you
So it doesn’t show up for me even on the website... it’s activated and selected yet nothing happens | PLZ HELP i need this!
Which one are you using? Are you testing it when live? Go to integrations and disconnect it and then reinstall it. See if that helps.
I am using my own totally custom overlay, I have only tested that one live twice, and do you mean uninstall and reinstall the extension?
Thank you for your video and time!
Yes about uninstalling and reinstalling. You are viewing on a browser and not mobile, right?
Yup I’m on browser... I have reinstalled and now i just have to wait for my next stream...
