Lazy Old Overlay
Connect with Twitch

A Twitch overlay that reacts to your chat.

One OBS browser source and a free Twitch Extension. Your chat shows up as avatars your viewers dress up themselves, and their Bits set off Avatar Shows and effects across your screen.

Try it live: every look, show and effect below plays on the real overlay.

The Extension turns Bits into revenue

Add the free Lazy Old Overlay Extension under your stream. Viewers use Bits in it on Avatar Shows, chat effects and their avatar's look, and Twitch gives you 80% of every Bit.

It unlocks the overlay

With the Extension active, the whole overlay is yours, free. Without it, the overlay needs a sub to the service's channel.

You choose the Bits

Raise what an item takes.

Affiliates and Partners

Bits need a Twitch Affiliate or Partner channel.

Reminders on stream

Arrows on your overlay point viewers to the panel.

Every viewer gets an avatar

Your chat is drawn as avatars: on the wall, in every Avatar Show and in the end credits. Viewers dress up their own, from chat with !avatar or from the Extension panel.

Their look, on every channel

A viewer sets their look once, and it goes with them to every channel that uses Lazy Old Overlay.

Made their own

Yours to give, too

Give a viewer a look on your own channel, without changing the one they wear anywhere else.
