How Lightstream Studio + StreamTranslate works together

Lightstream is the cloud-based streaming studio of choice for console streamers (PS5, Xbox) since native console broadcasts don't support overlays. Lightstream's Custom URL overlay feature is the integration point for StreamTranslate.

Console streamers route their PS5 or Xbox stream into Lightstream, add scenes, alerts, and overlays in Lightstream's browser-based studio, then push the final composited stream out to Twitch or YouTube. StreamTranslate sits in that pipeline as a transparent overlay layer.

Real-time translation opens console streaming to international audiences that were previously locked out by language barriers. Spanish, Portuguese, Japanese, and Korean are the most-requested target languages for console streamers based on our user data.

Setup steps

In Lightstream Studio, open your scene → Add Layer → Custom URL → paste your StreamTranslate overlay URL → resize and position the layer at the bottom of your stream. Save. Done.

Frequently asked questions

Which Lightstream plan supports Custom URL overlays?
Custom URL overlay is available on Lightstream's Creator and Streaming plans. The free tier doesn't include it.
Will translation work for game audio or just my voice?
StreamTranslate transcribes whatever audio your microphone captures — so your commentary gets translated, but game audio doesn't unless it's routed into your mic input.
Does this work for PS5 broadcasts via the system menu?
No — native PS5/Xbox broadcasts don't support overlays. You need to route through Lightstream (or capture card + OBS) for StreamTranslate to integrate.
