Overlays are graphics and other media you can place on top of your video to share information and overall add to the professional look of your stream.
Adding and controlling overlays works very similarly to adding and controlling sources. Let’s start with the basics.
First, locate the overlay pane right above the sources pane.
By default, there is a basic Title overlay already added.
Tap on the Title to load it into the preview pane. Tap it again to remove.
You can see how the overlay is superimposed over your Source.
