Quick Answer

An OBS subtitle overlay is a browser source that displays live captions directly on your stream. StreamTranslate generates a unique overlay URL — paste it into OBS as a Browser Source, set 1920x1080, and real-time translated subtitles appear on your stream in under 2 minutes. No plugin or download required.

No GPU. No download. No configuration.

StreamTranslate runs in the cloud — paste one URL into OBS and go live. Works on any laptop or PC. Unlike local AI tools, there's nothing to install or configure.

为您的OBS直播添加翻译字幕

An OBS subtitle overlay is a browser source layer that displays live captions on top of your stream. Unlike burned-in captions (which require post-processing), an OBS subtitle overlay works in real time and shows text directly on your broadcast.

StreamTranslate takes this a step further: it not only transcribes what you say in real time, it also translates those words into your target language — so your viewers see translated subtitles live, as you speak. One overlay URL. Drop it into OBS. Done.
