What are YouTube overlays?
A YouTube overlay refers to the overall design of your YouTube video or YouTube stream. If you play a popular game without an overlay, there's a high chance that your livestream will look precisely like the livestream of many other streamers on YouTube. Various design elements like overlays for your gameplay, labels, alerts, webcam frames, and more help you stand out from other content creators. YouTube videos can also look more attractive with overlays. With this, you set your style, and the designs imprint themselves in addition to you and your content. So when you use YouTube overlays, you stand out among the many content creators and make your videos and streams as unique and individual as possible.
What is included in a YouTube overlay package?
YouTube overlays with matching YouTube labels
The real heart of OWN3D's all-in-one packages is, of course, the unique overlay for YouTube. The overlay is essential to stand out visually from other content creators. If you look around YouTube Gaming, you will quickly see that many streamers play the same game, but their streams look completely different. This is entirely due to the overlays they use. So, if you want to differentiate yourself from other content creators and offer variety to your viewers, you should put a lot of thought into your design choice of overlays.
Start, break, end and offline banners
It's common for many streamers to be live for hours at a time, which means taking a break or two. If you're entertaining people for five hours straight while playing video games, you'll quickly realize that it can be very demanding and you should take a screen break once in a while. That's why you should take breaks when you're streaming. However, to avoid letting your viewers down during this interruption, we recommend using so-calledintermission banners. They are displayed when you are away from your PC and are visually perfectly tailored to the rest of your channel design. In addition, the YouTube streaming overlay packages also include special scenes, among others, for the start of your stream and a scene for a proper farewell!
YouTube stream alerts
Communication and interactivity are essential when it comes to streaming. Only those who equip their livestream properly and offer viewers the right opportunities can ultimately gain new viewers, subscribers, or members. So-called YouTube alerts have a crucial role to play here. The more likely a user will support your channel, the fancier, better, and higher the quality of these alerts. By displaying the viewer's action with the alert live in the stream, you give the viewer a special place for a short time. You thank them directly for their subscription, donation, membership, or other actions. Good for you that our YouTube stream overlays all-in-one packages include all the appropriate alerts. This way, you can take off with purchasing such a package and give your viewers the best streaming experience ever.
Animated scene transitions
An animated scene transition creates a visually smooth transition between two scenes during your livestream. This smooth or exciting transition makes your stream much more watchable right away. You'll find perfectly matching scene transitions in the YouTube stream overlay packages that will complete your stream.
A brand new design for your YouTube channel
When you personalize your YouTube stream, you should pay attention to the actual design of your channel. The platform allows you to upload a personalized and meaningful YouTube banner. This banner is displayed whenever a viewer visits your channel's page and provides a lot of different information about you and your content, for example, your other social media channel information. Therefore, purchasing a YouTube streaming overlay all-in-one package from OWN3D will simultaneously get you the matching YouTube banner.

Frequently asked questions about YouTube overlays
Once you have downloaded and unpacked your OWN3D YouTube streaming overlay, you can use drag-and-drop to pack the desired video file (overlay) and insert it into a broadcasting tool of your choice. We recommend the free tool OBS Studio. OBS Studio is a popular tool in the community because it offers you many possibilities and additional plugins without exhausting your PC resources. You can create different scenes, like start scenes, just chatting scenes, and so on, and equip each scene with the YouTube streaming overlays the way you like it.

As a live-streaming platform, YouTube now enjoys a high community status. Alongside Twitch, it is one of the largest and most used portals for broadcasting live content. Time and again, prominent creators switch to YouTube and use their YouTube channel not only for VOD videos but also to face the viewer live. The YouTube community is enormous, and just waiting to watch your professional stream! On YouTube Live, unlike Twitch, you can even stream in 4K and showcase the potential of next-gen consoles to your audience. Plus, nearly every smartphone user has the YouTube app, so that most people can access your stream instantly and without detours.
Livestreaming is all about entertainment; a big part of that concept involves customizing and personalizing your stream. Thousands of YouTube Gaming streamers have yet to use an overlay, so while it is possible to stream without overlays, it is recommended. If you want more viewers, you should stand out and be able to distinguish yourself from other streamers. This works especially with overlays and designs, which you can find in our store.
All YouTube overlays in our store are hand-designed by talented and dedicated illustrators, making them as custom as possible.

Of course, some tools and programs can help you build your overlay for YouTube. However, it would be best to remember that trained graphic designers and illustrators design professional and high-quality-looking overlays with years of professional experience. If you plan to create a pleasant and professional-looking YouTube overlay without any previous experience with the appropriate programs like Adobe Photoshop or InDesign, you will have to spend a lot of time on it. However, you could use this time for streaming and building your community instead. So it's easier to include a YouTube overlay that already has everything you need to stream!
