Text Channels have made it to the Overlay! Click the Overlay tab and enable in-game overlayĭ. The overlay is a pretty fancy and fun piece of tech, so there are some important points to go over.įirst steps first: Let's ensure the overlay enabled!ī. The window might be of a different size if you have a scale factor on one of your monitor that isn't 100%.Discordians! The in-game overlay is 100% waiting for you, and it's time to incorporate your voice & text chat into your game for maximum effort, focus, and no distractions from declaring your online gaming supremacy. I doubt that you will need to have a bigger window for the overlay anyway. So in order to avoid any confusion about if my program works or if the window is too small I forced the size of its window. So the window needs to be at least 769*433 and it takes into account the scale factor of each display. Does it have dimensions of at least 769*433 pixels ?.The way Discord detects if it will display its overlay on a window depends of 2 factors : The current RGB color of the background is 46, 49, 54. You'd have a disgusting green under the overlay that you couldn't make disappear. I get that it's not easy to chroma key that color but if there was a green background it would look awful as the Discord's overlay is partially transparent.

With this solution you only need to set it up once and that's it. It means that if you move to another room/server you need to recreate another link.

The link it generates works only for the specific room of the specific server you targeted. The people behind Streamkit clearly never really used it.
