Customizing Your Overlays
When you have access to the source files it’s easy to customize your designs! We try not to brag, but our source files make it seriously easy to customize your Kick overlays for those familiar with Adobe After Effects.
If you’re a creative with an eye for design and further customization the base products may not be enough. Our Kick overlay templates can be purchased often with access to the After Effects animated source files – meaning you’ve got full control over every aesthetic aspect of your purchased Kick overlay template.
If editing After Effects is too much, we still include multiple colors and layouts. Meaning no matter your skill level with design, you can create something unique and professional for your channel.
Kick Overlay FAQs
Kick overlays are graphics placed on top of your Kick stream intended to improve viewing experience. They’re used on your channel to create engagement and providing additional information. To make an overlay you can add images, videos, text, and dynamic widgets into broadcasting software like OBS Studio.
Kick overlays can also communicate your brand to viewers, display information such as your social media links, or create engagement for certain events.
You can find free Twitch overlays from our shop , all over the web, and on YouTube. We always recommend that if you’re downloading anything for OBS Studio to make sure to do so from trusted sources.
We have and will continue to always be releasing new free Twitch overlays and resources for the years to come. We started with free tutorials and overlays and will not forget the users that helped us get us to where we’re at today!
The easiest way to create your own overlay is using a premade template that allows for customization and modularity. It’s important for you to choose what aspects of an overlay are best for your stream aesthetic and audience.
You could also create one from scratch. This requires knowledge of either graphic design, motion design, or even some elements of web code. You can use premium software like Adobe Photoshop or find many other free alternatives online.
Use motion graphics software such as Adobe After Effects, Photoshop, or other free resources found online.
While you can technically animate Twitch overlays with code such as HTML, CSS, and JS, it ultimately will take a lot more time than using traditional animation software. Since you’re likely making an overlay for yourself or a client, rendering a video or image will be the way to go.
Purchasing a Kick streaming overlay does not always mean it will be better than free alternatives. Consider the advantages the shop or designer is offering before making your purchase such as support, customization, and quality.
Yes, you should use a Kick overlay. While Kick streaming overlays are not required for live streaming, when used properly they can improve your viewers’ experience and create engagement between yourself and your audience.
Yes! The real question you should be asking is: does this overlay work with the broadcast software that I use? This means that if a Twitch overlay template works with Streamlabs OBS, and you use Streamlabs OBS to stream on Facebook Gaming, you can use that overlay with Facebook. When we create our designs we make sure that they work with OBS Studio, Streamlabs OBS, OBS.Live, and XSplit, which are the most popular broadcast software.
The reason for this is due to current limitations within Kick’s infrastructure. To enable widely-used alert and widget services like Streamlabs and StreamElements to monitor events on Kick (such as follows and subscribers), they require access to what’s known as an API—a means for different programs to communicate with each other. Regrettably, Kick has not yet made its API accessible.
