Sometimes a Twitch broadcast doesn't go as planned: sound problems, accidentally shown content, or simply an unsuccessful stream.

Overlay is a graphical layer that overlays on stream image and complements it with visual information. It helps design broadcast, highlight channel brand and simplify content perception for viewer. Well-made overlay doesn't distract from what's happening, but enhances presentation, especially when working in OBS or Streamlabs. Element examples: webcam frame, alerts, chat, timer or goal.
