Adding Overlays on Mac

Are you streaming on Mac and want to import the overlay you've just got? Check out this guide on how to set everything up!

Take a Note!

OBS Studio works a bit differently on Mac so in order to properly import the overlay scene you need to follow a few extra steps described below.

Streamlabs .OVERLAY

  1. Launch Streamlabs OBS and go to "Settings"
  2. Press the "Import Overlay File" button under the "Scene Collections" tab
  3. Locate and click the .overlay file in the "2. Quick Install\Streamlabs" folder of your stream package
  4. Woo-hoo! Everything is set up in your Scene Collection

OBS Studio .JSON

  1. Extract the contents of your downloaded stream package to any folder
  2. Launch OBS Studio
  3. Open the "Scene Collection" tab and press "Import"
  4. Press the "Add" button and navigate to "2. Quick Install\OBS Studio\"
  5. Locate and double-click the .json file from the folder 
  6. Press "Import"
  7. Switch to your imported scene in the "Scene Collection" tab
  8. Press "Search Folder..." in the "Missing Files" window that popped up 
  9. Navigate to "3. Individual Files" and open these folders one by one:

    • "3. Individual Files > Overlays"
    • "3. Individual Files > Screens"
    • "3. Individual Files > Other"
    • "3. Individual Files > Icons > Icons_300x300"
  10. Check if all files have a "Detected" state and press "Apply" when you're done
  11. Congratulations! Your Package is ready to use

    Please note, that OBS Studio disables your webcam by default and you need to re-enable it in your Webcam Source settings
