A free Twitch overlay maker, in your browser

What you can put on screen

• A goal bar for followers, subs or tips, and labels such as your latest follower
• A chat box and an event list, so viewers see what’s happening
• A webcam frame with a shape, a border and your name on a plate
• Scenes: starting soon, be right back, ending, with a countdown
• Polls and predictions, a spin wheel, a subathon timer, a leaderboard, a hype train meter
• Credits that roll at the end, an emote wall, a media player, and custom code if you write your own

How it works

1. Sign in with Twitch.
2. Pick a ready-made pack to get a whole matching look at once, or add pieces one by one on the Widgets screen.
3. Change the colours and the font once, and everything follows.
4. Copy each piece’s link into OBS as a Browser source, or download one file that sets up all your scenes at once.

Do I need design skills?

No. Every piece starts good-looking, and a pack makes them match. What you see in Switchbud is what OBS shows, so you can adjust with the stream in front of you.

Can I use an overlay I bought or made?

If it was made for StreamElements or Streamlabs, drop in its ZIP on the Packs screen and it runs as sold. You can also write your own widget in HTML, CSS and JavaScript.
