I only have $55 to spend on leveling up my Twitch stream.
So the goal is to find the best way to spend it.
And let me tell you, $55 doesn't go very far in the world of streaming.
I really wanted to upgrade my camera and microphone, but with
only $55, that's just not possible.
And don't even get me started on trying to buy some fancy lights
to make my stream look pro.
But I refuse to let a little thing like money hold me back from
making my Twitch stream look pro
Let's dust this off.
I guess I still need this.
Now, I know there's ways to make my stream look better without breaking the bank.
So I turned to my second mom, Google, for the answer.
What can I buy with 55 dollars to make my Twitch stream look pro?
And over the next few hours going through the hundreds of results, I
stumbled upon this website called Streamdesignz.com that sells overlays.
I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw all the amazing overlays
they had under my budget of $55.
From stream packages to countdown timers to emotes.
They had everything I needed to make my stream look professional.
Now, I was a bit hesitant at first wondering if these overlays would really
be the best way to spend the money.
So I did what any good steward of money would do.
I consulted my wife.
SIKE!
We make impulse purchases around here.
So I took the plunge and purchased everything I could
before my card got declined.
So now that we have 1 cent left to our name, let's see if these overlays will
really make my Twitch stream look pro.
So what I got from streamdesignz was the five minute countdown timer,
the stinger transition, and then the Illuminate stream overlay package.
So looks like you get them in a zip file.
So let's go ahead and unzip each one and let's see what's inside.
So the countdown timer has the countdown timer by itself.
Then we got the stinger transition and then the stream overlay package,
which is gonna come with the actual alerts, the new bits, new donation,
new follower, new host, new subscriber.
The overlay scenes, the be right back, the starting soon, stream offline.
And then I have the panels, the about, discord, donate, gear,
rules, schedule, and social.
This has everything that I need.
And then the webcam overlays.
Okay.
So looks like we didn't get scammed.
We got everything that we went ahead and ordered.
So, now let's go ahead and put this into action and see
how this looks when I go live.
So the first thing that I'm gonna start with is gonna be the countdown timer,
because this is what's gonna actually build up the hype for my stream.
So let's go ahead and get that added here.
Mm-hmm.
This is looking great.
Alright, so got the countdown timer.
So right after the countdown timer, I have to think about what is the next
thing that my viewers want to see.
So let's go ahead and add the starting soon right after.
Loving this package.
All right, so got the starting soon.
Let's go ahead and get the camera added.
Boom.
Now we look official.
Now I can't wait to go live.
That's right.
We did get an overlay bar from Stream Design, so let's go ahead
and get that added in here.
Man, yo, these overlays really made a difference.
It's like night and day.
Hey babe!
Where's the $55 to pay the internet bill?
