Player overlays display information for a single player. There are 8 overlay types per player (16 total), each with its own URL. Use them to build modular, flexible layouts in OBS.
All player overlays use the player's assigned color for accents and borders.
| Overlay | URL path |
|---|
| Player 1 name | /overlay/{id}/player1-name |
| Player 2 name | /overlay/{id}/player2-name |
Displays the player's name in a compact badge with their assigned color. Use these for lower-thirds, player camera labels, or any layout where you want to identify who is who.
URL parameters
| Parameter | Values | Default | Description |
|---|
nostyle | 1 | off | Strip the background and styling, rendering plain text only |
align | left, center, right | left | Text alignment |
position | 0 | -- | Center the overlay horizontally |
Use nostyle=1 when you want to composite the raw player name over your own custom graphics in OBS, without the gd streamer background styling.
| Overlay | URL path |
|---|
| Player 1 faction | /overlay/{id}/player1-faction |
| Player 2 faction | /overlay/{id}/player2-faction |
