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!
@@DarkenedCyrus you know the chat can take off your overlay
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. 💕
Thank you for taking the time out to do this tutorial, you're a legend
Glad to see you still enjoying making vids! They get better and better! Need to join ya in a stream again!
Totally agree!
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.
Does it show on mobile for you I can only see the overlay on my PC
@@ChristianRuddick-st6lc nope
Great work !! Straightforward and very well spoken.. ill be looking back at this video tomorrow to set my overlay up!! Thanks man.. you gained a sub
Thanks! Glad it was helpful!
@@DarkenedCyrus hey how to u upload the overlay to my twitch

Thank you so much! This really helped, since I'm starting off to stream! I really thank you a lot man!

DUDE thank you so much!!! The fact that I can toggle the overlays too from mobile makes it even better! NOW I HAVE START AND END STREAM CARDS
So it can show up on mobile now?
How can you do the cards???
How do you get it on mobile ?
Thank you so much even after a year of you uploading this video it still really helped me keep it up!
Been streaming off of my ps5 and this made me look more professional thank you for the help much appreciated
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
@@WeAsOneRiseyeah you can only see it on pc.
Dropping a sub. This helps console streamers improve the style of their stream on another LVL. More people need too see this! Thx so much😀
You’re welcome!
Yeah, way better than spending $5 a month just to see your chat.
You are a legend, you took the time to help and explain love you 😁
❤️
I like this guys happy, calm energy :)
Thank you bro! Your helping so many people!

Brilliant video. What a legend. Just what I need!
This so helpful and a game changer!! Thank you!!
Thank you for this Video. How you explain this it's super easy to implement. Greets to you and your community!
Mine isn’t showing up in my stream am I doing something wrong
I just started my twitch and I stream from ps5 this was so much help dude, gratitude to you 🙏🏽!
So glad this was helpful! Get that bread 👊
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.
thank you very much i wanted to start streaming this really help me out
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!
So how should we put it on the ps4 stream? I streamed it, it did not bring the ps4 layer.
Thanks so much can't wait to apply it
Helped me alot, thanks.
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!
Update this won’t appear for anyone using a mobile phone
How about now?
Bro stole my profile
@@ALTRO- does it?
@@xanyez no
Thank you brother ill try this out later this week👍🏼
This helped so much thank you !!!
Awesome tut. 🔥
Thanks!
How do you add your own pictures into this extension?
I really like this video and thank you. I really appreciate it because I'm streamer too and I finally know how to do overlays now thank you dude 😊.
Glad I could help!
The most helpful video in terms of streaming. Thank you
i tried again but my text sill won't show up. what do i do?
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!
@@DarkenedCyrus no it was not. Thanks for the reply and ya it makes sense. Thanks so much
No problem!
So helpful thank you so much !!!
Thanks mate ur content really help me 😇
I've installed the extension but when I try and configure, Im not getting any templates or anything at all? Anyone else have this problem?
Same
You just got another sub
Thanks, this really helped me out.
2:48 OHHH okay thank you because I was confused on why my mobile phone didn't show the overlay
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.
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!
Thanks a lot!! As a noob, it really helped me a lot. cheers!!!
I want to thank for this video. I used to stream my Xbox games from my Xbox to my pc and frame rates were awful This will be so much easier.
My overlays not popping up
Same by me
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!
Thank you so so much! New subscriber here!
Thanks dude you helped so much!!
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
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?
Same with me
He said it is not yet available on mobile only on browser but they’re working to put it on mobile
@@kogames6021 yea but i went on the browser and it was not there
Great breakdown I just subbed 👍🏾. Quick question guys when I do this should I not display chat while streaming on the ps5? I know that’s a little confusing but what I mean is will it look a mess if I have my ps5 broadcast setting to show chat on screen?
this is what i needed, thank you so much.
You’re welcome!
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
When I go to select my overlay it doesn’t show it or any other over lays? Any help or ideas?
What browser are you using? I’d recommend chrome. This has been an issue with some users.
@@DarkenedCyrus yes I use chrome browser
Thank you so much for your help bro
Great video. Thanks for the help.
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?
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
when adding the alert do you go into content after to edit what it says
Yes!
nevermind i figured it out
Thanks a lot for this information buddy
just joined your discord and joined your youtube channel, thanks for the tips and providing value
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.
Me tho help plz
i can’t see it on my stream
Me neither
Thank you this really helped me out
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?
Sure. Discord is probably the best way to communicate. You can ping me there in our help channels!
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...
Thank you!
No worries!
It dont show up on my stream when i start streaming on my ps4.
We’re you viewing on mobile? They don’t support mobile viewing at this time, unfortunately
It doesn't show it on pc for me
Same by ME....
Are you viewing from a browser?
@@DarkenedCyrus yes
Yo tysm I'm managing a stream for my Lil cousin from my pc and this is alot of help!
Glad to help!
thanks brother this helped alot
When the overlay is saved does it just come up on the stream?
I have the same question
Nice vid
Do you know if it works on mobile view yet?
What a great video. One question: does this work on mobile now? Or is it still browser only?
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
Same
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?
Hey Darkened I just subbed to you and I think that your videos are so amazing keep ut the good work and also thank you for the tips!!

Great video, you really helped. Now to test run on twitch
i want a hug from this guy
Amazing info thank you so much will be watching all your videos now very much appreciate you 💜🖤💜🖤
Hello! Thank you for the video, great for streamers that are just starting, like myself.😁 Quick question: how can you reset the followers count? If on one stream I set a goal to reach 10 followers and lets say I get 3, the next time I start the stream it will show 3/10. Is there a way to reset it, to start with the goal 0/10 for the new stream? Thanks!
Thank you bro much appreciated
Thanks man u helped a lot but one question how can i change the colours of the overlay bars?
I'm new to twitch and this is extremely helpful
Thanks dude you helped me out alot! You got yourself a sub
Thanks for the sub!
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

Thank you so much but can u please show us how to do desk top on phone
Thank you so much you have really helped me
You’re welcome!
This was an insanely helpful video but I have one question. When I got live I don’t know how to activate the overlay
Hey, man, thank you so much for the video.
Ahhh tysm this is the only vid that helped me and i now it 1k follows. Tyyy😄😄
For the center piece when you’re editing it do you leave it as is or do you move it up out of the frame so it drops down? And also will I have to move my display box when I use my ps5 camera?
Can you post a video for PlayStation 5 on how to cover things on your screen like on the right corner
Hey bro this was a really big help have u done a video on customizing twitch home page I’m new to the twitch scene and I stream straight from Xbox but I won’t to make my twitch home look better then what it is
