do you stream directly from your console
do you want to be able to add overlays
alerts and music without having to have
a PC or a capture card well in this
video today I'm gonna show you exactly
how you can add overlays on your xbox
stream without the need of those
additional software's let's go ahead and
dive in going on it's your boy Santana
with Lions Among Sheep where I bring you
guys the best streaming tips and tricks
if it's your first time here and you
want to learn how to improve and grow
your stream and personal brand make sure
to subscribe and hit the notification
bell so you can be notified when I
upload a new video every single Tuesday
knowing how to add overlays to your xbox
stream will add a huge boost to the look
and feel and the experience that your
viewers actually have console streamers
have always been stuck with either no
overlays or having to invest in a PC or
a capture card but into this video
you're gonna learn how to use LightStream studios to add overlays alerts
and music to your stream to improve the
overall experience alright so the first
step we want to do to be able to go
ahead and accomplish the goal of having
overlays on your Xbox stream is that we
want to go ahead and go to Mixer.com
and secure a mixer Pro subscription okay
so the first thing you want to do is
come to mixer.com once you're logged
into your actual account you want to
select more and you want to select go
pro so the mixer Pro subscription what
it allows you to do is that it's gonna
allow you to have access to a lot of the
Beta features which are gonna allow you
to have overlays and alerts on your Xbox
using live stream studio now I feel like
the 799 is well worth it instead of
actually having to invest in an actual
PC and a capture card when you're first
getting started so you're able to go
ahead and get a pro subscription for
$7.99 and then all you simply have to do
is set up your overlays and that's it
once you go live your overlays always be
there as your stream grows you can go
ahead and start investing in more
equipment a PC a capture card to avoid
having to pay the $7.99 every single
month so once you decided on taking this
following step you want to go ahead and
select get pro for $7.99
alright we're super excited and welcome
to the pro club just gonna go ahead and
sign up for this okay now that you've go
ahead and sign up it's gonna say hey
welcome to pro now you have an actual
pro account so the next thing we want to
do is you want to come and click on your
profile and click broadcast dashboard
okay here you're gonna see now an option
where it says live stream beta right so
it says live stream studio is a
web-based streaming tool this is what
we're gonna use to be able to add
overlays so you want to select send my
mixer video feed to live stream studio
and once you've done that click Save and
now we can go ahead and move on to the
next step okay now that you want to add
an activator your actual mixer Pro
subscription we want to go ahead and
access the actual editor so we can start
adding overlays to your stream so one
mixer come to your broadcast dashboard
and here you want to scroll down and
select edit live stream studio okay so
now that you're here this is gonna be
the editor where you're gonna be able to
add overlays alerts music to your actual
stream and once you set this up one time
every time you go live on your console
your overlays will automatically appear
and so this is gonna be what you're
gonna see as soon as you come into live
stream studio once you've activated it
on mixer your mixer feat is
automatically gonna populate and this is
what's gonna be seen when you actually
broadcast right here at the bottom
you're gonna see the audio this is gonna
be the audio that's gonna be playing so
most likely if you already set up your
webcam and your microphone on your
console and if you haven't done that
already I have a video showing you how
to get started streaming from your xbox
the regular little mixer so you know how
to add those additional features so
check that out then you're gonna have
here to the right these additional
scenes now these are seams where if you
want to have a be right back screen if
you want to have your starting soon
screen or an intermission screen this is
how you go ahead and add those
additional screens that you're able to
switch between so what you want to do
the first thing you want to do is you
want to go to your Xbox and you actually
want to go ahead and start your actual
broadcast okay so that way you're able
to see live what's going on so you can
make these edits correctly
so for the sake of this video I'm going
to use a screenshot and we're gonna say
that this is my live broadcast right so
I am currently live on my console so now
what we want to do is we want to go
ahead and add an actual overlay so you
want to go ahead and come to this actual
plus sign and select image now here if
you have your own custom overlays you
can upload your own custom overlays to
be able to add to your actual stream if
you interested in getting custom
overlays done in the description of this
video you will see a email to Brian who
did all my overlays if you guys are
interested in getting some custom work
done otherwise if you just like me when
I got first started I like free so we
can scroll down and go down to where it
says mixer overlays and you'll see here
all the free overlays that are available
to you so you can select the mixer
overlay then you can select any of the
overlays that are currently available
here so let's say for example I want to
use this one and this is gonna go ahead
and populate it directly on the actual
stream so you can see here in this wall
showcase live okay so this will showcase
live on the action on the actual stream
if that's something that you want so
let's say for example this new overlay I
want to use now this overlay is
showcasing on my stream now if you want
a webcam overlay you can come back to
the plus symbol come back to image
scroll down to where it says mixer
overlays and you can select a webcam
image and you can select it here and you
can size it and edit this to fit within
your actual webcam and now you have an
actual webcam overlay as well so it's
just as simple to go ahead and add these
overlays and customize and add new life
to your actual stream so get creative of
that play around with it and add as many
overlays or designs as you please now I
want to show you how to add another
scene right let's say for example I want
to be right back scene so I'm gonna go
ahead and click add scene I'm gonna
click the plus symbol and once again you
can always add your own custom overlays
otherwise the lifestream has over
you can use so you can come here and you
see here they have a be right back one
so now you have it be right back screen
so these are ways you can add overlays
and switch between these now if you
don't want to have your computer or your
browser open to be able to switch
between scenes you're able to go ahead
and do this directly from your mobile
and I've put the link in the description
of this video showcasing you how to
access the actual mobile scenes from
from your mobile device so the next

want to do is we want to go ahead once
you've customized your alerts you want
to go ahead and see this link where it
says widget URL you want to go ahead and
copy this actual link and you want to go
back to live stream studio once you're
in live stream studio you want to go
ahead and select add layer and you want
to select third-party integrations you
want to scroll down and select Stream
labs and now you that URL that we just
copied you want to go ahead and paste
that in there and now these alerts are
gonna pop up on your actual stream so
you simply want to go back and you can
literally select test to follow and you
see here now okay
now you have alerts that actually pop up
on your actual stream and you can
customize them in
them wherever you see please and simply
that's how you go ahead and add alerts
to your actual stream so if you guys are
interested in me going more in depth
into customizing these alerts make sure
you comment below in the actual video so
next I'm gonna show you guys how you go
ahead and add music to your actual
stream so we can make that stream just a
little bit more enjoyable okay so a
simple way to go ahead and add music to
your stream so that way your viewers are
more engaged and have more enjoyment
while they're watching you play is by
going to bot cismo calm once again the
link will be in the description you want
to go ahead and log in with your actual
mixer account and once you've logged in
with your actual mixer account what you
want to do is you want to come to the
left-hand navigation and select music
player now right out of the gate your
music player will be blank so you can
simply go ahead and add musics directly
from a YouTube video or a playlist from
YouTube and just drop the link here and
the songs with a player would appear
there if you want to go ahead and use
some non copyrighted music you can just
simply go ahead and add to the queue and
this is gonna go ahead and automatically
add music to your actual queue now in
order for us to go ahead and add this
and for it to play on your actual stream
what you want to do is you want to go
ahead and view music player overlay so
you want to select this here and this is
gonna go ahead and provide this overlay
now there's gonna be a URL link that's
gonna be available at the top bar you
want to take that URL link and you want
to come back to live stream studio and
you want to select third-party
integrations you want to select batiste
mo and you want to go ahead and paste
that URL we just copied with the music
and now you can see here okay let me
just go ahead and lock these here and
you can see here that with the bots yzma
overlay you can move this wherever you
want now if you want the videos to show
while you're actually playing on batiste
mo you want to make sure that live mode
is enabled okay that way you can go
ahead and see the actual video so if I
were to play this okay you would see
here that on my life stream now the
video is showing and the video would
actually show on your actual stream and
let's say for example you want the music
to play but you don't want this to be
seen right what you simply want to do is
you want to drag the but cismo overlay
behind your picture okay now how you
have this laid out it's gonna be based
on how it appears on the stream so if
you want your you know alerts to be
visible you want to make sure that at
the top if you want your botties mode to
be visible you want to make sure it's
above everything else on the actual
stream and simply once you have that
playing now you'll have music playing on
your actual stream and you can get
creative and add any kind of music that
you like and if you want your viewers to
be able to request music you want to go
to hit edit song request and you want to
make sure that this isn't abled and once
you have that enabled your audience will
be able to request music it'll get added
to the playlist and play directly on
stream and that's how you go ahead and
add music to your overlay so I've showed
you guys how to go ahead and add
overlays I've showed you guys how to go
ahead and add alerts and I've showed you
guys how to go ahead and add music and
those are the three core elements that
