Personally I like the set up you have. I'm assuming thats on the PC (not sure if you can do that type of stuff on the XB1). And since it's an FPS, I think less (in this case) is more compared to what Greenfire32 does with his, considering the games he plays are a tiny window...I'm sure he explained that during one of the two streams he did today.

Yeah, it's on PC and an FPS.

Yep, mine are made that way because the game's native resolution is 640x480 so I've got a lot of screen space that's unused. It's actually worked out for me because it means I don't have to sacrifice resolution to show the chat and webcam on screen so that anyone who's watching in the highlights can follow the conversation without only seeing my side of it. For more modern games, less is definitely more though! Minus a little bit of flair, I think your overlay is pretty much right on track, foof. Things I would do: 1) Since you have the bottom border with the news scroll, I'd put a border around the whole game. Nothing intrusive, but it is a little jarring having that blue bar at the bottom and around the webcam and nowhere else. 2) Different font for the "foof811" tag. Either something that's designed as "title font" or something sans serif (no feet) 3) Spacing on the webcam position is a little strange, but I think a lot of that comes from lack of an overall border. 4) This is optional, but with OBS you can add images with chroma key. For example, my Banjo Kazooie overlay has three images on top of the overlay itself. One for Banjo, One for Kazooie, and one that is a copy of the bottom of the overlay. The backgrounds for banjo and kazooie are chroma'd out so that they sit "on top" of the game. It's subtle, but it's affective. The copy of the bottom overlay is then layed over the top of Banjo and Kazooie to give the illusion that they're coming "out" of the game window and sitting on top of the whole overlay. The way you do this is by creating a solid color background and selecting that color as your chroma key in the properties window of the image. Here's what my images actually look like versus what you've seen on the stream: All of which is put on top of the overlay itself: Which gives us the final version: Now of course, I could chroma out the yellow on the overlay and simplify the whole process a tad, but when I originally created the overlay, I was short on time. So for now I've just been using the overlay as less an "overlay" and more a "background"
