If you are into IRL streaming, you need special overlays that won’t get in the way of your IRL stream. For this reason, I have created the list below of the best places to go to for overlays to use on an IRL stream.

Best IRL Stream Overlays For Twitch

1. OWN3D.TV
2. Placeit by Envato
3. Fiverr
4. Visuals By Impulse
5. Hexeum

The list above is based off the following categories which I find most useful when looking for IRL overlays for your stream:

• Quality – Quality of the IRL overlays offered.
• Price – How fair are the prices.
• Setup – How easy is it to set the IRL overlays up.
• Selection – How many IRL overlays does the website offer.

Keep reading to find out how each of these websites scored in the categories I mentioned and why they received the rankings that they did.

1. OWN3D.TV

If you are an IRL streamer, the first place you should look for overlays is OWN3D.TV. They have everything you could possibly need for an IRL streaming including overlays, alerts, emotes, and much more.

Compared to others on this list they have the largest selection of pre-made, ready to use overlays for your IRL stream so you are sure to find something you like.

I have used OWN3D in the past and I continue to use them whenever I need something stream related. I highly recommend them for IRL overlays.

2. Placeit by Envato

Placeit by Envato is a great option for those who want to be able to customize the overlays they purchase. The way it works is Envato gives you a template, you edit the template to your liking, and then once you are finished you download the overlay and add it to your stream.

The only downside to this is that since you are dealing with overlay templates, rather than completed overlays, the overlays tend to be a little more simple. Still good, just not over the top good.

With that being said, Envato’s templates can’t be beat and they come at super affordable prices. I also like that you can buy individual IRL overlays without having to purchase an entire stream overlay package.

3. Fiverr

Fiverr probably has the best quality and best selection of anyone on this list. This is because with Fiverr you get to work with the overlay designer directly and can tell them exactly what you want.

But with that kind of input comes a higher price point. If you are looking for custom IRL overlays for your stream you could be looking at around $50 or more depending on what you want.

I think Fiverr is best suited for established streamers who are trying to enhance their branding and are looking for a quality artist to work with. If you are a newer streamer, then stick to others on this list as they will be cheaper and easier for you to set up.

4. Visuals By Impulse

Visuals By Impulse (VBI) is known for high quality overlays, including IRL overlays. They have some really amazing overlays and most of their overlays have an animated and a static option.

The two things that hold VBI from being higher on this list are their selection and their price. They have a smaller selection compared to others on this list and their prices are a bit higher.

However, their overlay quality is top-notch and I would recommend giving them a look if you can’t find an IRL overlay you like on the other websites.

5. Hexeum

Hexeum is another great place to look for IRL overlays. Their quality is just as good as anyone on this list and you can trust them to provide you with catchy IRL overlays.

But similar to VBI, their selection is smaller than other websites and their prices are a bit higher. Now their prices are not outrageous, but you will spend more than you will elsewhere for similar quality.

With that being said, Hexeum is still really good and you can trust them. I would give them a look the next time you are searching for streaming overlays.

Now let’s go over a couple commonly asked questions regarding IRL overlays.

What To Look For In An IRL Overlay

An IRL overlay should be simple and should not interfere with the IRL stream. Viewers like to watch IRL streams because it makes them feel immersed in the stream and it becomes much harder to be immersed in a stream with several overlays that clutter the stream.

Another thing that IRL streamers should consider adding to their overlays is their social media accounts (Twitter, Instagram, etc.).

But again, make sure these things are displayed in an organized manner so that it does not annoy people who came to watch your IRL stream.

How To Make An IRL Overlay For Twitch

You can make an “IRL Overlay” for Twitch through programs such as Adobe photoshop or Canva. Once you have created the overlay, add it as a source to your live scene and that overlay will display while you stream.

Making your own Twitch overlays sounds easy, but trust me, it’s not. Unless you know what you’re doing your overlays will be very basic.

This is why if you want nice looking overlays for your IRL stream, I recommend spending a little money and using some of the companies I mentioned above.
