video or just want to say hi and the things I'm referencing in this list come from videos on my own YouTube channel so you're looking for any more tutorials tips and tricks links to all these videos down in the description below but now let's jump in and start talking about stream design and taking yours to the next level this list is designed as a starting point for you guys to get you thinking about your stream design and think about how you can improve it and make it better in different ways so it starts off with number one on the list and that is using what we give away for free we have given away a lots of free stuff on this channel things that are aimed at helping you guys make better designs and starting off with the rotating fee which is a prominent feature in both Harris's and my own personal streams this little puppy has been out for a fairly long time now who is actually the first thing I ever worked on with Harris before I became the editor of the channel it presents all of your most recent and most important information for your stream in a really clean and effective way to get rid of those excessive and really clunky boxes for most recent sub and most recent donator and so on and so forth it's a very unique and clean way of presenting information and you can find that along with our sub Turing way way before the hope tremors everything on twitch we released the sub Train widget that you could use as an element inside of your overlays it's a super customizable widget you can use to really customize and build your own unique hyper tree you can add your own sprites your own images and your own video files as well as just change it to be a simple minimal bar that animates over a period of time if you've ever watched the pokemon video which we will link down in the description or maybe up here in this little corner here you may notice on her stream hood her logo actually animates to reveal how many sub she's had for that stream that's what I'm talking about and with some help from the firewire we actually made it a public widget that you guys can download and use in your own overlays you can add your own custom low that was an image or a video file and give it a custom background and even change it from a subscriber to pay for follower metric and as an example of how all of these things can work really well together I actually use all of them on my own stream in my own little mini stream hood I have the rotating feed presenting tota followers and subscribers along with the most recent sub cheer and gifted sub I also have my logo as my badge metric and a search ring animates under the entire thing this kind of design is really clean and really effective and presents all the information that you need from the stream at a single glance no clunky mess no intrusive overlays let's move on to number two number two is actually create alerts that react to your overlay I don't actually see this an awful lot but having some really cool reactive alerts can set yours apart from the Audry alerts you see everywhere on twitch alerts that are similar to shroud where his entire web cam overlay reacts to the alert itself and changes depending on what kind of alert actually is I actually have a tutorial on my own personal YouTube channel which showed you guys how you can make some really cool shroud inspired alerts and use them on your own stream you can even take
