Overlay overview¶
Stream Overlays is built from three concepts:
- Theme packages control the visual style.
- Overlay types control what data a browser source shows.
- Integrations add external data sources, such as TrackDraw.
Start with a theme package when you want a cohesive look. Use the overlay type pages when you need exact URL patterns or OBS guidance.
Want a custom theme?
Start a topic in Discussions with your branding and we can create a custom preset.
Theme packages¶
Overlay types¶
| Type | Available themes | Best for |

| Topbars | Apex, DDS, LCDR | Race title, event branding, and timer context |

Integrations¶
| Integration | Overlays | Use it when |

TrackDraw overlays are documented under Integrations because they require project setup before they can be used in OBS.
