I am brand new to streaming/content creation and working with limited tech and a limited budget and I have to say that this is the BEST tutorial I have found on the whole interwebs for teaching someone streaming from console how to spice up their stream! Thank you so much for this and you've earned my subscription with this video!
This is really good and well explained, one little missed detail for overlay expert is that it will not show for people watching on the mobile app, only through a browser or desktop mode... If you wish to see if it works and you are only using a mobile device, you will need to select desktop mode in your settings, then it will be visible for you. Now keep in mind that anyone joining your stream through the mobile app will not know this and won't see the overlays/alerts... It's a shame overlay expert hasn't added this feature yet
This literally is the most helpful video ever because I did not want to go through the obs stuff on the laptop. I have been streaming, but not up to high standards until now! Thank you!!
When I first started streaming this video didn’t exist yet, I was looking for overlays and alerts on console but just couldn’t find anything, I’m gonna be using this video to help my streams out, thanks for walking step by step on how to use these things.
This guy is smart he actually knows how to make a how to video assume the person you’re talking to knows nothing about what you’re teaching them about. He went into detail perfect 👌🏼
Dude, thank you for an answer that didn’t feel like it was dragged out for views. Definitely the most helpful thing I’ve seen so far. Keep at it man, and thank you!
That's the first time I Saw a video explaining extensions , I clicked for my Xbox one streams because I'm learning, I left after finishing the video feeling like I graduated twitch. Nicely done and great editing 👍.
I have went to videos that didnt help as much as this one, I just used it today and when it saw it worked I got very excited, thank you so much for the help, im sending this vid to my friends cause they want to have it as well, you are very helpful!
Dude, this has been ridiculously helpful!! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE EASY STEP BY STEP GUIDE!! Honestly, I've spent the last like three hours playing around with the first extension kind of expecting to be able to layer it with the second extension... even though you can't do both at once, I'm going to go ahead and get that second one set up so I can switch between the overlays depending on what I'm playing!!! Once again, THANK YOU!!!!!
This video was real helpful for me as an xbox streamer starting out thanks bro. Aye you deserve 1MIL Subs I believe you'll hit it eventually with helpful content like this.
Thank you so much this has worked and all the ones that I tried didn’t really work only the little bits did all the ones you have told me have worked bro!
This is a big help, being trying to sort it out via obs he past few days but there's always something setting me back as I'm limited with what I have currently. Thank you!
Bro thank you so much everyone kept telling me I had to have a PC to have alerts now i have alerts without one GOD BLESS YOU I HOPE YOU HAVE A GREAT DAY AND NIGHT!❤✝️
Hey, I tried Overlay expert, I created a design, activated the extension and selected it as overlay 1, but it still does not work on my stream, can anyone let me know what they did or what I should do to fix this? Edit: I found out that you can't see overlay expert on Mobile, only on PC, and I was watching on my phone to see if it works, if anyone else has this problem, I hope this helps.
First of all i have to say a massive thank you,I literally joined twitch yesterday and this video will definitely help me get up and running you the man!
I followed your video exactly and it is super simple to follow and helpful however when I go to stream on twitch the alerts aren’t coming up even though they are set up, can you please help me ?
@@DarkenedCyrus no I had my stream up on my laptop and I asked one of my viewers to unfollow and follow again and had a few new follows and nothing came up on stream so I have no clue what could be wrong
Thank you so much for these instructions. Hugely helpful! Quick question: How would I make sure that my video and my frame line up perfectly? Does it automatically fit the video into the frame, or is it more of a trial and error process?
Mate this is the best tutorial I've seen regarding overlays you've earned a like and subscribe from me. Thanks for the time and effort you put in to this
Thank you for this! I had a question about Overlay Expert, is there a way to change the colours of the layer inserts, for example on Orange Carbon, is there any way to change the colour of the orange parts in the corners? I’ve tried to but it only changes the colour of the transparent background and not the actual image itself! Is there a way to change the colours or are they locked in?
Hey man, I'm having some troubles, when I click the gear it says "Unfortunately we could not load your extension configuration." What should I do? Thanks
@@Codizzle03 if it's being viewed on a pc or laptop yes cos they are the things that can access extensions, mobile and consoles themselves cannot so the alerts wont come up for people viewing on mobile
So when streaming from my console (xbox one) how would I go about hooking up a mic so I can talk to my chat on twitch and party chat on my game and still be able to mute myself on party chat on the game while talking with that chat on my stream?
Everytime i try to add the recent followers scroll it works alright but the “New Content Item” always appears before it even when i delete it and replace it. It also crashes the site when i just straight delete all of it if i don’t delete everything except the first letter put what i want and then delete the first letter and it still just the same. Ik it’s been months since this came out but please respond.
I've watched mulitple videos that have tried to explain this, but none have ever went through it exactly step by step. Thank you for this!
Glad this helped!
How did you do it I tried and I cant
Thanks!
Nope!
I can’t do do it

Are they free to use or do you need to pay
UPDATE! If you want Overlays/Alerts viewable on mobile, watch my Lightstream tutorial here! ua-cam.com/video/Y0quvERbRSU/v-deo.html
I just redid everything & I can see it on my laptop when in stream manager but when I look from my phone there's nothing
Got it working on laptop but alerts are the only thing not working
Yeah like pc people who are watching can see it but if they are on mobile they can’t see it

It was a bit difficult to follow along with your camera over the edit panel but I was able to learn many-many things from this video.
0:02 “you don’t have a pc” 1:46 proceeds to say “now you will need a pc”
You can use your phone’s browser to set it up
If you have xbox use ethernet explorer

Omg I have been searching for hours thank you soooooo much
No problem! I have another video more dedicated to overlay expert that might be more helpful!
I followed your video exactly and it is super simple to follow and helpful however when I go to stream on twitch the alerts aren’t coming up even though they are set up, can you please help me ?
Are you viewing from mobile? That might be the issue if so. It is only viewable on a browser at this time.
@@DarkenedCyrus no I had my stream up on my laptop and I asked one of my viewers to unfollow and follow again and had a few new follows and nothing came up on stream so I have no clue what could be wrong
yes excatly what you said as if he already license i did everything the part that got me confuse its certain little things not poping up huhhhhh
This is the first video I've watched from you and I already love you.
This was the best video I've ever watched all the other ones did not help but this truly did. Thank you
I love have u set it up explained all of it these really help me a lot
Ty bro ive watched multiple vids but your one is the best one so far
Thanks!
Thanks for the help! I’m starting twitch and I needed the help
No problem!
By far best video iv watched about twitch overlays
Thanks
I’ve done everything but when I start my stream there is none of this stuff actually on the stream. Can anyone help?
I’m also having that problem
You will have to view it on pc, only banners are viewable on mobile.
Did you actually uploaded it well ?
just started to stream from my xbox and this actually helped a lot. definitely deserves a sub. thank you!
Thanks!
Thanks sssooooo much bro just started streaming and i needed something like this again thanks soo much
Same I’m planning to start making Content on UA-cam and Twitch next month is my birthday I’ll be 22
I would like to say thank you bro! I’ve been searching for months and finally found your video.
So glad it was helpful!
I hope you can help me the Free Strean Alerts still needs Needs Configuration, I cannot activate it can you help me?
Same!
Dude you are the best. I didn’t even know I could do this and I’m a new streamer. Thanks!!
I really hope twitch adds to where people can see this on mobile. I feel like most people watch from their phone.
Totally agree!
did they do it yet
Maxthegladiator5 no
U helped me more in the first 4 minutes than the past 10 vids I watched thank you so much
That’s awesome!
Thank you so much for these instructions. Hugely helpful! Quick question: How would I make sure that my video and my frame line up perfectly? Does it automatically fit the video into the frame, or is it more of a trial and error process?
Not at all! Just stream to twitch from the twitch app on your PS4 after activating everything you need here in a browser
Because of this video i am gonna start streaming thanks man im gonna make the design amazing
That’s awesome! Good luck and let me know if you need help!
How can i fix that if my ps4 says like ur audio is sharing like a notification that it not turns black over the message on stream
I think I know what you are referring to, but I’m not 100% on what you are saying is the issue. Can you rephrase it?
My ps4 gives a notification from friends and al stuff that they are online and invite from games and on stream you see a black thing over the invite
Thx for the video...It helped me a lot!
Glad it helped!
Hey, so I’ve done everything you have said and done in this video, yet when I stream it isn’t popping up. Any ideas why?
I’m having trouble not seeing the overlay for different streamers only shows on my end
If they are viewing on mobile, that’s why. Both extensions are browser support only at this time!
how about now? Is it mobile supported yet?
@@cwctproductions9405 not yet

To stream with the alerts do you have to have a capture card or do you not?
The most helpful video I've seen in a while , thanks bro
You’re welcome, and thanks!
someone followed me and the follow overlay didn't show up
Yea same for me and I don’t know why
you have to add that overlay to an obs you need to be able to stream from a pc or laptop to use those alerts
