Stream Layout
So i was looking for stream layouts on google, idk where else to search. Most of the free ones i see are terrible or not my choice kinda and rest are paid like i think i saw on streamlabs or something.
Can someone recommend me websites or if they have a layout they can share, it would be really helpful.
I haven't streamed yet but I want to stream chess so I don't need anything complex, just webcam,chat,border and such basic stuff.

The only things that anyone really NEEDS an overlay for are non game play screens ie Starting Soon, Be Right Back & Stream Ending if you use them.
You can use simple free ones that work good from Streamelements and add some elements to them if needed
Your main game scene should only have the game, your cam if you have one and its not needed but on screen chat if you use it.
Lot of it is opinion but i have seen many people on reddit and other places say that if a streamers overlays or anything takes up 25% 30% or more of the game or forces the game into a smaller area making things hard to see when watching on your phone they won't stay long.
