Recently, we've made significant updates to our stream overlay and widget theme library, making it easier for you to find the perfect assets for your live stream. These changes aim to streamline your search process so you can spend more time live streaming and engaging with your audience.
How to Navigate to the Overlay Library

To see all overlays in a specific category, click "See All" next to the category name. If you have a specific overlay in mind, use the advanced search. Enter keywords in the search bar and filter results by color, type, popularity, and recent additions. Explore the Suggested Searches and Trending Categories sections for popular and trending overlays.
