Live Rig Overlays for OBS

Table of Contents

Are you streaming your recording rig? Show your audience the power of your setup with the official CaptureGem Live HUD Overlay.

Our OBS-ready browser source widget fetches real-time telemetry from your local CaptureGem instance and displays it in a high-contrast, cyberpunk HUD.

Features

  • Live Bitrate: Show your aggregate capture throughput.
  • Capture Count: Display how many models you are currently recording.
  • Error Tracking: Real-time counter for dropped frames.
  • Cyberpunk Skins: Choose between Neon Green, Cyber Pink, and Ocean Blue.

Quick Setup

  1. Open OBS Studio.
  2. Add a new Browser Source.
  3. Set the URL to: https://teencamgals.com/obs-overlay.html?url=http://localhost:8080/api/status
  4. Set Width: 300 and Height: 250.
  5. Check “Shutdown source when not visible” for performance.

Customization (URL Parameters)

You can customize the HUD by adding parameters to the end of the URL:

  • Theme: &theme=pink or &theme=blue or &theme=gold
  • Custom IP: If your rig is on a different machine, replace localhost with your local IP.
  • Privacy Mode: &privacy=true (Hides specific model identifiers in future updates).

Example Pink Theme URL:

https://teencamgals.com/obs-overlay.html?theme=pink

Developer Notice

The overlay connects directly to your local CaptureGem Monitor API. Ensure your firewall allows connections on port 8080 (default) if monitoring from a separate machine.
