Live Scenes graphics
Live stream overlays, built by asking
Tell the Scenes assistant what to show: a lower third, a ticker fed by a Google Sheet, a countdown, your logo. It builds them in a studio in your browser, and Streamloop draws them onto the stream in the cloud, so your computer can be off.
Live Scenes is billed by the minute, only while live: one 1080p channel at 30 fps, live 24/7, is about $20 per 30 days.
An example studio for Quiz Night. Asked for graphics, the assistant added a lower third for Sam Okafor, a ticker with the scores (The Know-It-Ales 42, Quiz Team Aguilera 39, Les Quizerables 37, Universally Challenged 35) and a countdown, round 4 in 14:59, to the draft.
Version v3
The assistant builds the graphics in a draft. Viewers see them when you publish.
Give it an entrance
Each layer can rise, drop, slide, wipe or fade in and out, with the timing you set. Frames switch with a cut, fade, slide, wipe or dip.
Use your fonts and colours
Pick any Google Font and save your brand colours once, then use them on every layer. Logos can be PNG, JPEG or SVG.
Graphics that follow your data
Connect a Google Sheet, a CSV or Excel file, or a JSON feed. Text, numbers, tickers and lists on screen update from it while you are live.
Edit a sheet, and the screen follows
Share the sheet with anyone who has the link and paste it in. Streamloop reads it again every 30 seconds, or as often as every 5 seconds, and repeats a layer once per row for agendas, line-ups and results.
Numbers from your own systems
Point a JSON feed at a donation total, a score or a price. A number on screen counts up to each new value.
A broken feed does not blank the screen
If a read fails, viewers keep seeing the last good rows until the next one works.
Switches and text fields for the person on air
Show or hide a lower third, change a guest's name, or cut to another frame from the Live panel. The change reaches viewers right away.
Edit in a draft, publish when ready
Layout changes stay in a draft while the stream keeps running. Publish swaps the new version in without stopping the stream, and you can go back to an earlier version.
Before you start
What to know about graphics on Streamloop.
Graphics need Live Scenes
Plain video loops play your files as they are. To add overlays, choose Scene when you create the stream.
Under it: your videos or a live feed
The picture under the graphics can be a playlist of your uploaded videos, one video file on a loop, or a live feed from OBS, an encoder or an IP camera.
Up to 1080p and 60 fps
Scenes stream at up to 1080p and 60 fps to YouTube, Twitch, Kick, Facebook, X, TikTok, LinkedIn or any RTMP server, up to 5 at once.
The graphics are part of the stream
Streamloop draws them into the video in the cloud. There is no separate key and fill, NDI or SDI output for a broadcast switcher.
Anything a web page can show
Add any web page as a layer with a transparent background, for alerts, chat or your own HTML graphics.
The assistant asks first
It works in the draft. Anything that changes what viewers see right away, such as taking a frame to air, waits for you to click Allow.
Questions about live stream overlays
Start with Live ScenesWhat is a live stream overlay?
A graphic drawn on top of the video: a logo, a name strap (lower third), a ticker, a clock or countdown, or a score. On Streamloop, overlays are layers in a Live Scene, and they are drawn into the stream in the cloud.
Do I need OBS to add overlays?
No. You build the graphics in a studio in your browser, and Streamloop renders them with your video in the cloud. If you already use OBS, send its feed into the scene and add the graphics on top.
Can I change overlays while I am live?
Yes. Switches and text fields in the Live panel show, hide or change a graphic at once, and data from a sheet or feed updates on its own. Layout changes go out when you publish, without stopping the stream.
Can overlays show data from Google Sheets?
Yes. Paste a sheet that anyone with the link can view. Text, numbers, tickers and lists follow it, read again every 30 seconds by default. CSV, Excel and JSON feeds work too.
Can I use my own design or HTML graphics?
Yes. Upload your logo and images, pick any Google Font and set your brand colours. For HTML graphics, add a web page as a layer with a transparent background.
Can an AI app build the graphics for me?
The Scenes assistant in the studio builds and edits graphics from a plain request. AI apps such as Claude or ChatGPT can also work with your streams through our MCP server.
Is there broadcast output such as NDI, SDI or key and fill?
No. Graphics are drawn into the stream, which goes to platforms such as YouTube, Twitch and Kick or to any RTMP server, at up to 1080p and 60 fps.
What does it cost?
Live Scenes is billed by the minute, only while live: one 1080p channel at 30 fps, live 24/7, is about $20 per 30 days. Each extra platform adds $6 per 30 days at 1080p. See all prices.
