How do I add the Playbox overlay on mobile (Streamlabs app)?
To add the overlay on a phone, open the Streamlabs app, go to Scenes → Layers, and add your event’s overlay URL as a custom layer. Step by step:
-
Open the Streamlabs app, you’ll land on the main screen.
-
Switch your phone to landscape mode before starting, Playbox graphics only work horizontally; vertical mode is not supported.
-
Tap the menu icon (three lines, top-left) → Scenes.
-
Go to the Layers tab → tap Add.
-
Choose Add Custom Item → Add URL.
-
Paste the overlay link copied from your event’s streaming settings, done.
⚠️ Start strictly in landscape. If you start in vertical mode, YouTube treats the stream as vertical and the overlay graphics display incorrectly.
