    What are you using for broadcasting twitch or mixer?

    What is "Xbox overlay" when streaming and how can I fix it?

    Xbox Overlay is really the "Game Bar", and when you press Win+Alt+B it's a shortcut designated in Game Bar to begin broadcasting. So either you can press Windows+G and open the game bar and select Settings from there, and either change the shortcut for
    broadcasting, or you can use the settings to link your account to a Mixer account to start broadcasting when you press the button.

    More details on the Game Bar for Windows 10 can be found here.

    Let us know if you have any other questions!

    Twitch Streaming on Xbox needs an Option to REMOVE the OVERLAY

    Hello Chibi,

    Not sure how it is a Xbox/Microsoft overlay when that overlay is clearly for the stream. The Screen on the bottom is from mixer. There is a way to move it around you will have to look into the settings for mixer for that.

    Thanks,

    Brad

    Twitch Streaming on Xbox needs an Option to REMOVE the OVERLAY

    That is a default overlay on Xbox runs both on Twitch and Mixer streaming service on the Xbox. There is no removing it at all nor is there an option. Twitch doesn't provide any kind of overlay when games are broadcast through Xbox or Playstation. Its what
    already in place by the OS of Microsoft when broadcasting.
