Use this interactive demo to learn how to add a custom image overlay to your StreamYard broadcast.

Quick summary

Adding an overlay in StreamYard lets you display custom graphics on your live stream by uploading an image through the Media Assets panel. Once uploaded, you can instantly show the overlay on your broadcast screen in just a few clicks.


Steps

  1. Inside StreamYard Studio, head over to the right-side panel and click Media Assets.
  2. Scroll down to the Overlay section, then click Add Overlay and select and upload the image file you want to use.
  3. Click the Show button next to the newly added overlay to make it visible on screen.
  4. After completing these steps, the overlay will be created and added to your StreamYard screen display.

📌 Why this matters

Adding branded overlays to a live stream is one of the fastest ways to elevate production quality and reinforce visual identity during broadcasts. StreamYard's built-in overlay feature lets creators and businesses upload custom graphics directly through the Media Assets panel — no third-party software required. This makes it easy for marketers, podcasters, and live event hosts to display logos, lower-thirds, or sponsor graphics on any live or recorded stream. Mastering overlays in StreamYard gives teams full control over their on-screen presentation without interrupting the broadcast flow.
