Is there anyway to do this without obs?
Hi there,
Sorry for the delayed reply - we're still setting up this comment system.
To answer your question, in order to show the overlay in your stream you need a streaming software that allows adding a "Browser Source". Here's a list of recommended streaming tools:
- OBS
- XSplit
- Gameshow
How do I make a transparent video that I can use in an overlay like Shroud has? I'm confused to that aspect.
Is there any way to copy an element from one overlay to another or could you release the source images. I love the animated themes I just need to set them up in a different way.
