What Are TikTok Vertical Stream Overlays?

TikTok vertical stream overlays are graphic packages designed specifically for live streaming in a vertical 9:16 format — the native orientation for TikTok Live, YouTube Shorts Live, Instagram Live, and Facebook Live on mobile. Unlike standard 16:9 overlays built for desktop streaming, vertical overlays are sized at 1080x1920 to fill a phone screen edge to edge, giving your mobile stream a clean, branded look without awkward black bars or cropping. Each package in this collection is built around a single design theme, with animated and non-animated versions of every asset included so you can choose the style that fits your stream.

What's Included in a Vertical Stream Overlay Package?

Every TikTok vertical stream overlay package from Stream Designz includes both animated and static versions of your core overlay assets, all sized at 1080x1920:

• Animated Webcam Overlay — a bordered webcam frame with motion that sits over your camera feed (webm)
• Non-Animated Webcam Overlay — a static PNG version of the same webcam frame for setups that don't support webm
• 3 Animated Overlay Screens — BRB, Starting Soon, and Ending Soon scenes with looping animation (mp4)
• 3 Non-Animated Overlay Screens — static PNG versions of the same BRB, Starting Soon, and Ending Soon scenes
• Stinger Transition — an animated scene-change animation sized for vertical streaming (webm)
• Countdown Timer — a Starting Soon countdown timer for your pre-stream lobby (mp4)
• Setup instructions and instant .zip download after purchase

What Software Do Vertical Overlays Work With?

These packages are compatible with any streaming software that supports vertical output, including OBS Studio, Streamlabs, Ecamm Live, and StreamElements. Because both animated (webm/mp4) and static (PNG) versions are included, you have options regardless of how your setup handles file formats. All files are pre-made and ready to import — no design experience or plugins required.

Who Are Vertical Stream Overlays For?

Vertical stream overlays are built for content creators who go live on TikTok, Instagram, YouTube Shorts, or Facebook in portrait mode. If you're streaming directly from your phone or using software like OBS in vertical output mode, these packages give you a professional on-screen look that matches the platform your audience is already watching on. Whether you're a gaming creator, IRL streamer, or variety content creator, a themed vertical overlay tells your viewers that you take your stream seriously — before you even say a word.

How Are These Different From Standard Stream Overlays?

Standard stream overlay packages are built at 1920x1080 for horizontal, landscape-format streams on Twitch, YouTube, or Kick. Vertical overlays are purpose-built at 1080x1920 for portrait-format platforms. Using a horizontal overlay on a vertical stream results in a tiny, letterboxed graphic that looks out of place. These packages are designed from the ground up for the vertical canvas, so every element — the webcam frame, the overlay screens, the transition — is proportioned and positioned correctly for mobile-first viewing.
