We can’t talk about Twitch live streaming without mentioning Panels, Overlays, and Alerts Boxes. If you want your stream to look professional and sound like those popular streamers, you should consider having those elements. Having beautiful-looking Panels, Overlays and Alert boxes is a must for every streamer, whether it’s a beginner, Affiliate, or Partner.
In this post, we are gonna share with you the best places where you can get your custom Twitch overlays, widgets, and alert boxes.
What are these?
Twitch panels are either a call-to-action or information-rich graphics underneath a user’s live stream video (his channel page). The purpose of these panels is to provide some more information about the streamer, the stream schedule.. or they can be used as a way to share your external links (social media links, merch store… etc).
To create or edit a Twitch panel, simply:
- Click the Edit Panels switch in the top left of your profile page below the video screen.
- Add or edit the panel by adding a title, picture, link, and description.
- Click Submit to save the panel
Twitch panels guidelines:
- Images must be under 1MB in size
- Images must be in a png or a jpg/jpeg format. Cannot be an animated gif.
- Images should be no larger than 320x600px (otherwise they automatically be scaled)
Twitch overlays are transparent graphics that appear on top of gameplay/live stream content. Most commonly, these graphics are positioned around the edges of the screen, some around the webcam (frames), scene transitions (or stingers), etc.
Twitch Alerts are special onscreen notifications that a streamer can set to pop up during the live stream when a viewer interacts with the stream in some way, for example, if someone follows the streamer, subscribes, cheers bits, or donates, an alert naming the viewer will pop up on the screen, often with a sound effect and an animated picture.
