They are especially popular in news and sports programs. Most of us are familiar with visual overlays from television broadcasts. That may be as simple as adding a logo to raise brand identity, using text to reinforce important points, or developing advanced graphics to add a more professional look and feel. Overlays can be used to add information and context to streaming video. One of the easiest ways to add a new dimension to live events in OBS Studio is to add visual overlays. Its growing feature set and flexibility cause some users to stick with it even for more advanced productions. The fact that it is free and easy to use, makes it an attractive option for those just dipping their toes in the water of producing live video.
