Add a logo and overlays to your live stream

Add a logo to your live stream in the browser studio: upload a transparent PNG or WebM, place it, keep it on air with overlay channels 1-8 and add titles.

To add a logo to a live stream, open the browser studio, click the Logo tile in the inputs strip and pick an image or a short video. The logo lands small in a top corner of the Preview monitor. Put it on one of the overlay channels (1 to 8) and it stays on top of the picture whatever camera you switch to. The logo is drawn into the broadcast itself, so every network gets the same picture and the recording carries it too.

Before you start

• A logo file with transparency. A PNG, WebP or SVG with a transparent background, or a WebM video with transparency for a moving logo. JPG and MP4 have no transparency, so the logo sits inside a coloured box.
• A reasonable size. Around 400 to 600 pixels wide is plenty for a corner logo in a 1920x1080 broadcast (plain arithmetic: that is about a quarter of the width or less).
• The browser studio. Logos and overlays described here are part of the browser studio on every plan. If you go live from OBS or vMix, add the logo there; it reaches us already in the picture.

Steps

1. Open the studio. Choose Live stream, start a new live and pick Browser Studio.
2. Click Logo in the inputs strip. The tile says Logo, image or video. Choose your file.
3. Find it on Preview. The logo arrives small, in the top corner (on the right in an English layout, on the left in Hebrew), staged on the Preview monitor and not yet on air.
4. Place and size it. Drag it on the Preview monitor, or select it and use Alt+arrow keys to move and Alt+= or Alt+- to resize. Alt+0 puts it back where it started. Nothing on Program changes while you do this.
5. Put it on an overlay channel. On the logo's tile, click an overlay number (1 to 8). A left click puts it on air now, with a half-second fade. A right click stages it, and it goes on air with your next Take or Cut.
6. Switch cameras freely. Overlay channels sit on top of Program. Taking a different camera to air does not move or hide the logo, and fades between cameras do not blur it.
7. Take it off when needed. Click the same overlay number again to take it off with a fade, Shift+click to take it off at once, or All off to clear every overlay channel.

Other overlays in the studio

Higher overlay numbers are drawn above lower ones. Put the logo on a high number if a title might cover it, or on a low one if titles should sit above it.

Logo on Shorts

Shorts are cut from the broadcast, so a logo that was on air is in them too. For Shorts you can also set a separate logo: Settings, the automatic Shorts card, upload a logo (up to 5 MB). That logo is added to the Shorts the system cuts automatically.

What can go wrong

• The logo has a black or white box around it. The file has no transparency. Export a PNG with a transparent background, or a WebM with alpha for animation.
• The logo is not on air. It is still staged on Preview. Click an overlay number on its tile, or press Take.
• The logo disappears when I switch cameras. It was taken to air as a normal input instead of on an overlay channel. Put it on an overlay number.
• The network's buttons cover the logo. Phone apps put likes, comments and the channel name on the edges. Turn on the safe frame guides (Layout) and keep the logo inside them.
• It looks blurry. The file was small and got enlarged. Use a larger source and scale it down.

The desktop app StreamLive Pro Studio, not released yet, will also have 8 overlay channels: StreamLive Pro Studio: the facts about the desktop app for Mac and Windows.

Frequently asked questions

Can I add a logo to a live stream without OBS?

Yes. The browser studio adds a logo from a PNG, SVG, WebP or WebM file and sends the picture with the logo to every network.

Does every network see the logo?

Yes. The logo is part of the picture we send, so YouTube, Facebook and every other destination show the same thing.

Can the logo be animated?

Yes. Use a WebM video with transparency. It loops silently for as long as it is on air.

How many overlays can I use at once?

There are 8 overlay channels on top of the main picture, plus the title, ticker and comment overlays from Graphics.

Will the logo be in the recording?

Yes. The recording gets the same picture as the broadcast, including overlays that were on air.
