There are many types of overlays you can use for your livestream broadcast, whether you are a YouTuber, podcaster, author or speaker. In this video, I’ll show you OTHER types of livestream overlays – not just lower-third – you can design very easily using Canva.
These overlays are clean, professional and helps convey more message on the screen than just a name and social handle along.
Show notes:
- 00:00 Intro
- 01:30 First design (the text banner overlaying each other)
- 08:45 Second design (the text banner around the outer edge of the screen)
If you don’t have time to follow along and rather get the template instead, you can download the all Canva templates for a $10 (one-time payment).
You will need Canva Pro (not just the free version) to download the graphic with transparent background. Subscribe to Canva Pro here.
