Add live captions to your green screen streaming setup in OBS. Position captions to complement your virtual background without compromising your stream's visual design.
Start Free TrialGreen screen streaming creates a clean, professional aesthetic that requires careful thought about caption placement. Unlike a standard webcam layout where your face appears in a corner, green screen setups often have the streamer composited into the main game view — meaning captions need to be positioned to avoid overlapping both your figure and key game elements.
StreamTranslate's caption overlay is configured independently of your chroma key setup. Once you've added the browser source in OBS, you position it anywhere in your scene using standard OBS layout tools. Common positions for green screen streamers are the bottom lower-third (below where the subject appears) or a semi-transparent bar at the very bottom of the frame.
StreamTranslate works alongside any OBS chroma key filter setup with no conflicts.
Place captions anywhere in your OBS scene — top, bottom, or custom position — to fit your green screen layout.
Adjustable background opacity lets captions sit over gameplay without blocking important visual elements.
Clean caption styling that complements the polished aesthetic of a green screen streaming setup.
