Templates Features Workflow

How to create reusable overlay templates that let you switch from padel to YouTube to Twitch in one tap — no setup required.

Why Templates Matter

If you stream regularly, re-creating your overlays for every session wastes time. StreamCastly templates let you define your complete overlay configuration once and reuse it forever.

Creating Your First Template

Set up your overlays as you normally would

Tap **Save as Template** in the overlay panel

Give it a name (e.g., "Saturday Padel Match" or "Twitch Gaming Session")

Done — it's saved to your template library

Switching Templates Live

You can switch templates without stopping your stream. Tap the template selector during a live broadcast, choose a new template, and StreamCastly applies it in under 100ms.

Template Best Practices

Create platform-specific templates: One for YouTube, one for Twitch, one for padel

Version control: Save variations like "Padel Day" and "Padel Night" for different lighting conditions

Team templates: If you stream with a partner, share templates via the StreamCastly sync feature

The Template Library

StreamCastly ships with a starter library of templates for padel, Twitch, YouTube, and multi-sport use cases. Download and customize them from the Templates tab.
