- Put your most-used actions near WASD - Q, E, R, F are easiest to reach
- Avoid Caps Lock and the Windows key - you will hit them by accident
- Export as PNG and paste it into your notes or print it out
- Stick to your layout for the first week even when it feels awkward - muscle memory takes time
Stream overlay - what to include and what to leave out
A minimalist approach to overlays that don't look like a mess on screen.
- Webcam frame - use a transparent PNG from Profile Maker
- Chat box - always visible somewhere, but keep it small
- Follower/Sub alert - keep it short, 3 seconds max
- Recent events panel - small, tucked in a corner
- Avoid: too many animations, ads on screen, flashing elements
- Less is more - viewers are here for the game, not your overlay
