The Best Overlay Layout for Just Chatting Streams
No gameplay means the screen is you and your room. Here's how to fill it without clutter.
Just Chatting has no game to look at, so the layout is inverted: your camera should be large, and the overlay's job is to build a room around it.
Go big on camera
Half to two-thirds of the screen. A tiny facecam on a mostly-empty background is the most common Just Chatting mistake.
Build a scene around it
A cozy room, shelf or window behind your frame gives the screen depth and something for the eye to rest on.
Show chat on screen
Chatting streams are conversations — putting chat on screen makes viewers feel part of it and looks good in clips.
Add one gentle motion
Rain, a candle, drifting petals. Enough to feel alive without pulling attention from your face.
Where to find them
Cozy room packs are designed exactly for this large-camera layout.
