    Your tutorials are so helpful!!! I’ve wanted to stream for as long as I can remember but been struggling with how lately. I also wanted to ask you if you see this: I wanna do gaming content but I don’t know how I can make it different, it’s a basic category but it’s what I love the most. I’ve seen a lot of videos saying be extremely good at it but I don’t play online stuff like some big players and more chilled back games. However I do really love the lores and theories of the games I play so I thought maybe while I’m playing I can talk about that stuff and give information about the games I’m playing? And I think you should make a video for niche help cuz I see people struggling with that rhe most

    If you ever make a follow up to this, I know I spent way too much time deciding on my background, so helping an indecisive streamer zero in on what will fit their brand and also look good would be helpful. Also, the importance of saving *often* (my browser crashed right when I finished one of the overlays. womp womp!). Thanks again, Ms. Shady!

    this video was very helpful!
    once i have the overlay on the stream, how do i make it show the most recent follower and chatbox if i am using obs? also, do you think obs is better for beginners or streamlabs?

    • @HeyShadyLady
      @HeyShadyLady  2 роки тому

      Streamlabs OBS has a few more useful integrations for beginners (like adding a streamlabel makes it easy to get your most recent follower to show up)
      But SL OBS is also very resource heavy and can lag some computers down so keep that in mind!
      If you're using OBS, you'll have to manually add a browser source for the labels... I'll make this my video for next week! I've gotten lots of questions about it lately!

    @shadoobie175 2 роки тому

    Hey girl thank you so much for these videos!! They are amazing and have helped me so much. Quick question when I add the stroke to the box for a border it adds a border around the entire screen as well as around the gameplay box. I noticed in the video however it doesn't happen to yours. Am I doing something wrong? I guess it doesn't really matter but I would prefer it to not be there lol. Again ty for all your hard work!!

    • @HeyShadyLady
      @HeyShadyLady  2 роки тому +2

      Yeah there's should be a drop down box in the stroke window that you can change from "outside" to "inside" that should fix that!
