You go into the overlay on streamelements, find the element you want to change on the left where all of them are listed, click on it, then look below all of them and you should see settings and other options. I show quickly how to do it with the alert box (check the chapter markers), but instead of the alert box you would just click the subscriber box or member box etc...

Hello! What a video! Can I still be able to add my display capture in the gaming section even if I play on console?

@creatorcology 10 ай бұрын

As long as you have your console hooked up to a graphics card (and I believe HDCP or whatever it is also has to be off, at least on ps4/5) then you should be able to open obs, add a video capture device and then select your capture card. Resize it then follow all the steps in this video. I have multiple tutorials on how to setup a basic obs so follow that. Then follow the free overlays tutorial. If you dont have a capture card allowing your console to send video to the pc, you cant use obs, which is what this whole video is based on. Did that help?

@njorosaki 10 ай бұрын

@@creatorcologyyes it did. I never expected your response to be this quick! But what if i linked my ps5 to my twitch account? Wouldn't that basically mean that I have both OBS running on my laptop and the gameplay coming from my console?

@creatorcology 10 ай бұрын

No problem! As for your next question. Thats not how it works. Twitch does NOT send encode your feed then send it to obs on your laptop then send it back to twitch. OBS is meant to be used BEFORE your feed gets to Twitch. Twitch is the endpoint. Think of the flow like this. PS5 -> capture card -> obs (on laptop) -> twitch (final destination) PS5 -> twitch app (final destination) Those are the only two routes for console users I am sorry.

If you mean the alerts and features of the overlays then there should be a section on the left when you are in the streamelements overlay that has music options. Sound effects and such that come with it should be in one of the elements after you click on them.

Yes I have a laptop

@creatorcology 10 ай бұрын

In order to stream a console using your laptop with a custom overlay you need an external capture card and OBS. I have plenty of tutorials on how to set up overlays in OBS. As far as I know, streaming directly from a console gives you very limited options in what you are able to do. Hope this makes sense.

@creatorcology 10 ай бұрын

As for photoshop, I dont know of any free alternatives that can open psd files (photoshop project files). You can create basic overlays in canva which is free and there is a more advanced photoshop alternative called Affinity but its a one time fee and I dont know if it can open psd. Google is your best friend for this part of it.

The overlays are on your obs scenes not twitch. Make sure you added the scenes like I did and that they currently appear in OBS. Its no different than if you were to put a picture on the screen. All twitch does is take the feed you send to it. Twitch cannot disable your in OBS overlays if that makes sense.
