More than overlays.
OverlayThing is an all-in-one toolkit for your Twitch channel: a visual overlay editor, a full chatbot, remote control of OBS or Meld, branded tip and merch pages, and your stream data and chat logs, all hosted for you. Build it here, add one URL to your streaming software, and the rest runs in the cloud.
What you are working with
Overlays are where most people start. An overlay is a transparent canvas, sized to your stream (1080p by default), holding a stack of widgets: alerts, goals, timers, labels, a chat box, and anything you build yourself. You arrange them in the editor, and the overlay renders live on top of your gameplay.
But the platform goes well beyond that. The same dashboard runs a full chatbot (commands, variables, conditionals, timers, giveaways, song requests and moderation), lets you control OBS or Meld from a chat command or a hotkey, powers your tip and merch alerts, and keeps your stream data and chat logs. One login, one place.
There is nothing to install. Everything is hosted for you and streamed to your browser source or run by the bot, so it all keeps ticking (countdowns, goals, the chatbot, reconnects) even while you are heads-down in a game.
Jump straight to the Quickstart. You can have a live overlay on your stream in a few minutes, then explore the rest.
Overlays in three steps
The overlay flow, start to finish:
Design in the editor
Add widgets to the canvas, style them, and wire each alert to an event: a sub, a raid, a follow, a cheer, a tip, or a merch sale.
Copy your overlay URL
Every overlay has its own private URL. Your edits save as you work, so the URL always reflects your latest design.
Add it to your stream
Add the URL as a browser source once, in OBS, Meld Studio, or whatever you stream with. From then on, edits appear live, with no re-export and no re-paste.
