🎮 Top Streamers Who Use Custom Overlays (And How You Can Too)

If you've ever watched a big-name streamer and thought,
“Wow, their stream looks SO clean!”
...chances are, they’re using a custom overlay.

But custom overlays aren’t just about looking cool — they’re a secret weapon for brand identity, viewer retention, and standing out in a sea of content creators.

In this blog, we’ll dive into:

• 🔍 Streamers who are using overlays to dominate their niche

• 🎯 Why overlays matter more than you think

• ✅ How you can start using one (even on a budget)

• Build overlays that match your personality or niche

• Use bold fonts, sharp transitions, and dynamic alerts

🎭 2. Pokimane – Clean, Soft & Community-Centric

🎯 Why Do Top Streamers Invest in Custom Overlays?

✅ They create instant identity
✅ They increase viewer trust and perception of quality

✅ And they help viewers remember your channel

Let’s face it — in a world of thousands of streams, looking basic is a huge risk.
