Add the overlay to OBS
On this page
The overlay is how ads appear on your stream. It is one browser source in OBS. You add it once, confirm it, and your channel becomes bookable.
Before you start
Connect your channel first: see Connect Kick or Twitch. There is no overlay link until the channel is connected.
Get your overlay link
- Open Settings and scroll to Overlay.
- Next to Kick key or Twitch key, choose Regenerate, then Confirm.
- Your overlay link appears once. Choose Copy and keep it somewhere safe. You won't see this link again.
Add it to OBS
- In OBS, select your scene, then under Sources choose + and pick Browser.
- Name it, then paste your overlay link into URL.
- Set Width to 1920 and Height to 1080, then choose OK.
- Drag the source to the top of your source list so it sits over everything else, and stretch it to fill the canvas.
You will see a setup card saying the Publsh overlay is connected, with a dashed outline for each placement. That is how you know the link works.
Confirm your overlay
- Go back to Settings, Overlay.
- Choose Confirm overlay. The status changes to Confirmed · bookable.
Confirming switches the overlay from the setup card to live ads. You need a confirmed overlay before you can accept a booking, and it ticks Install the overlay on your setup checklist.
Where ads appear
Every placement has a fixed size and position, so you and the brand always know exactly where an ad sits.
| Placement | Size | Position on a 1920 × 1080 canvas |
|---|---|---|
| Corner | 160 × 90 | Top right |
| Lower third | 1200 × 138 | Bottom centre |
| Banner strip | 1920 × 140 | Full width, along the bottom |
| Card | 480 × 270, or 300 × 400 portrait | Bottom right |
Troubleshooting
The source is blank. Check the URL was pasted in full and the size is 1920 × 1080. If you are not sure the link is current, regenerate it and paste the new one.
I need to stop an ad right now. Open Flights, then Live, and choose Kill ad. The overlay drops it within a few seconds. See Pause or kill a live ad.
