Video Chat overlay ?

Can anyone tell me what they are using that generates that Video Chat overlay? Can this be done with Skype or Hangouts? or are they using something else? <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BiX1fezuVGg" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BiX1fezuVGg</a>

Those layouts look great, don't they? It's not made with Skype or Hangouts (though they might be using that ALSO). Those kinds of broadcasting layout templates are usually set-up within the broadcasting/streaming/screen-capture software, like Xsplit or OBS. You actually create the template/borders in a graphics program (like say Photoshop or GIMP), then use the broadcast software (like Xsplit or OBS) to screen-capture parts of your browser screen and to place those parts in various sections of the background you've made. The Roll20 wiki has a guide for using Xsplit to broadcast/record , but it doesn't really go into detail on setting up those layouts. If you register on Twitch and start watching some of the channels that broadcast Roll20 and D&D on there , you can ask some of the Twitch broadcasters for tips on how they did it.

Everything Gold mentioned is def. right on track! If you are familiar with programs like Photoshop or GIMP you can think of it as if you are creating an image with layers. Once you capture what you want and add the images into the broadcasting software, you layer and move them around to create different layouts to suit your needs.

It's worth noting that it'll look cool and shiny on the broadcast but it won't look like that on your screen (more like a disjointed mess of windows). At least that's my experience last time I used XSplit or FFSplit. Just to plug my own suggestion (which had ashlar picked up no traction) something like <a href="https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/1366231/alternate-roll20-layouts-or-even-bespoke-layouts#post-1372824" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/1366231/alternate-roll20-layouts-or-even-bespoke-layouts#post-1372824</a> would help. Or in the interim you could adjust The Aaron's bookmarklet to tweak the CSS (<a href="https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/1174957/hide-ui#post-1174957" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/1174957/hide-ui#post-1174957</a>).
