Quick, easy and free IRL streaming overlays

Getting graphics into you IRL streaming can be a problem, especially when all the services out there want to give you much more than what you need. I just want a simple start, standby, scroboard and end overlay.

Something I can drop into my live stream without all the hassles of subscriptions, popups and all the other stuff.

Well, you can use a Google Drawing in your free Google Drive!

Create a new "Google Drawings" in Google Drive, make sure you set the page setup (File->Page Setup) to "Widescreen 16:9". Now build your screen adding what you need.

Bonus Tip: You can hide additional asset just off the screen which means you do not have to keep loading them, just move them when you need them...

When done, share the drawing to "Anyone with the link" and make sure the permission is "Viewer".

Now copy that link and change the last part "/edit?usp=sharing"

https://docs.google.com/drawings/d/ThisIsNotArealUIDtoArealDrawing/edit?usp=sharing

to "/preview"

https://docs.google.com/drawings/d/ThisIsNotArealUIDtoArealDrawing/preview

Now you can use this new link in any of the IRL streaming software you are using. For my example above, I am using IRL Pro App on Android for all my mobile streaming.

Bonus Tip: Use IT-TOOLS Qrcode Generator to create a QRcode that you can copy paste on the mobile. No need typing that long ID number...
