The Streamlabs Overlay Library recently got a makeover, and it’s time for you to check it out!

P.S. There are thousands of overlays to choose from in the Streamlabs Library. And if you’re a Streamlabs Ultra subscriber, you have access to all premium overlays. Learn all of the benefits of Streamlabs Ultra in our handy guide.
Home
The homepage is your starting point for finding the perfect overlay for your live stream. Here, overlays are listed by categories such as Featured, Trending, and Newly Added—and even by the genre, aesthetic, or game you wish to play.
To browse a specific category, click See All on the same line as the category you’d like to explore so you can see the full collection.
Advanced Search
If you’re looking for something very specific, the advanced search tab is where you need to be.
Search Bar
In the search bar, you can enter keywords for the type of overlay you wish to install. Directly next to the search bar, you can also narrow down the results by filtering for colors, type (overlay vs alerts and widget themes), popularity, and latest additions.
Suggested Searches
We know what streamers are looking for when it comes to overlays (literally). In the Suggested Searches section, you can find categories that most streamers tend to gravitate towards.
Trending Categories
If you’re looking to tap into the latest trend, the Trending Categories section feeds you all of the overlay collections (more on that later) that streamers have been combing through recently, especially those related to trending games that you may be looking to play on stream.
Help/Guide
If you need some help getting started with overlay, click on the question mark icon in the left navigation bar to be returned to this guide. If you still need help, feel free to contact us by submitting a ticket.
Collections
If you’re looking for a specific type of overlay, collections are a great place to narrow down and find options that fit your needs. Collections are overlays grouped by style (such as Anime or Simple and minimalistic), game, holiday, language, or streaming category.
Installing Your Overlay
Once you’ve found an overlay that you like, simply click the Install on Streamlabs Desktop button from the overlay’s landing page and select the elements you would like to download. You can download just the stream overlay or alert and widget themes, as well. This will take you to the Streamlabs Desktop app where you can install and customize your theme as you see fit.
Note: If you are trying to install an Ultra-only theme and aren’t a Streamlabs Ultra member, you’ll be taken to the checkout flow, where you can sign up for Ultra and unlock access for every overlay and widget theme.
We hope you enjoy the new look and feel of the Streamlabs Overlay Library. We can wait to see which overlay you choose next. Happy Streaming!
