▶OverlayStudio
Broadcast control — OBS Studio

Your overlays,
driven live.

A local server, a dashboard in your browser, and 19 modules that answer instantly. Live television forgives nothing: everything that matters is one click away.

Coming soon.

How it works

A local app to manage and display your overlays.

It runs on your machine. You drive it from the browser, OBS shows the result. No account, no cloud, nothing to install anywhere else.

01

It keeps going without the dashboard

The timer and overlay state live in the app, not in the tab. Close the browser and everything stays on air.

02

Several people, one show

Every machine sees the same state live. Two people can work at once without wiping each other’s edits.

03

One URL per overlay

Paste the address into an OBS browser source and it is wired. A single address is enough if you would rather stack them all at once.

Modules

19 modules

Each has its own settings, design, on-screen position and control commands. None of them is mandatory.

Ecosystem

3 connected tools for your streams.

Both satellites are optional: OverlayStudio works on its own.

🎛️The core

OverlayStudio

The server and the dashboard. Node and React, a Windows executable, self-contained profiles you can export and hand over.

🎚️Optional

Stream Deck plugin

Every module’s commands on physical keys, with real state coming back: a key lights up when its overlay is on air. Long press for resets, and the Stream Deck + dials nudge a score, a time or a volume one notch at a time.

🧩Optional

Chrome extension

Relays YouTube, Twitch and Vimeo chat into the modules, can write back under your own account, and picks up Vimeo’s and Twitch’s native polls. Twitch is READ without it, natively — but writing to it needs a tab open in the bridge.

In detail

What you notice in use.

◆

Self-contained profiles

Config, media and fonts in a single folder. Export it as one file, hand it over, it runs elsewhere unchanged — with a preview before you import.

◆

Wired to OBS

One button drops the overlay into the open scene, at the right size. And the app knows what is on air: streaming and recording show up with their elapsed time.

◆

Camera operators know when they’re live

On their own phone, nothing to install: scan a QR code, and the screen turns red when their camera goes on air — worked out from OBS, nested scenes included. The control room can send them a note, and the current run-of-show segment shows alongside.

◆

Project palette

Define a colour once, bind it in design fields. It changes everywhere at once.

◆

Position and scale

Nine anchors or free placement, per module. The same setting applies to the standalone overlay and the composite.

◆

Panic button

One command clears every module at once, without flooding the Stream Deck with redraws.

◆

Overlay error reporting

An overlay never shows its problem on air: it reports to the dashboard, which explains instead.

◆

Pen tablet support

The whiteboard follows stylus pressure, with stroke smoothing and PNG export at overlay resolution.

◆

Audio ducks by itself

While a jingle or a replay plays, the OBS sources you pick come down, then back up. The original volume is written to disk before the dip: if OBS closes at the wrong moment, nothing stays stuck low.

◆

Chat emotes

Twitch’s own, plus the ones 7TV, BTTV and FFZ add — which nothing announces in the messages. They show wherever chat shows, and the emote wall animates them.

◆

The confidence screen, on its own display

The stage monitor opens full-screen on your second display, straight from the app. No OBS, no browser.

Ready for air.

One install, no account to create, and the gallery runs on your own machine.

Coming soon.
