The six scenes
| Scene | Job | What to put in it |
|---|---|---|
| Opening (starting soon) | Give viewers a reason to wait while you set up | Channel name, a countdown or start time, your links and schedule |
| Game | Show the game with as little clutter as possible | The game full screen, a camera in a corner, a goal or latest-event bar; keep the middle of the picture free |
| Talking | Chat with viewers when the game is not the point | A large camera (roughly half to two thirds of the width), the chat, a topic line |
| Break (be right back) | Cover a pause | A clear message, a timer, music, your links |
| Ending | Close the stream and send viewers somewhere | Thanks, next stream time, socials, a raid target if you use one |
| Alert | Celebrate a follow, a subscription, a gift, a raid or cheers | A short animated card with the person's name, shown over the current scene |
Layout rules that hold up
- Keep text inside the safe margins so nothing is cropped by a platform's interface.
- Use two fonts and a small palette, repeated in every scene.
- Make every word readable at phone size; low contrast text is the most common fault.
- Leave the game and the camera room: overlays that cover the action annoy viewers.
- Keep a single logo and one motif; consistency matters more than variety.
In BriseStream
BriseStream ships ten hand-drawn packs in 33 looks, each with the six scenes above. You choose a pack and a look, type your channel name and handle, and it is drawn, reviewed and applied with a single undo. The alert scene can use your own sentences for a follow, a subscription, gifted subscriptions, a raid and cheers, in your language. Packs run as ordinary layers with no browser on air. If none fits, the pack studio makes a custom pack with you for 19 EUR.
Questions and answers
How many scenes does a Twitch stream need?
Six cover most streams: opening, game, talking, break, ending and an alert. You can start with three (opening, game, ending) and add the rest.
Do I need an overlay pack?
No. You can build scenes yourself, use free packs, or order a custom pack. A pack saves design time and keeps scenes consistent.
Do overlays cost FPS?
Anything drawn costs a little. In BriseStream, packs are drawn once and run as ordinary layers with no browser on air, and an animated layer redraws only when it changes.
