The Aztec Overlay was designed for the The War of the Speakers II tournament. It contains a variety of different scenes you can use for in-game casting, podcast and dual-cast discussions, and so on. Below is a preview of the main overlay.

This guide helps you set up the overlay in OBS – the only supported screen capture program is OBS. Instructions for setting up the overlay are split into two sections.

• If you’re comfortable working in OBS, you can follow the Setup for Pros section.
• If you need more detailed, step-by-step instructions, use the Setup for Noobs section.

• The overlay comes with two transitions: MAIN_STINGER+SOUND for flashy scene transitions and QUICK_TRANSITION for a fast fade effect. You can select between the two in the Scene Transitions section of your OBS.
• If you or a co-caster don’t have a camera, you can use the placeholder image instead.
• You can change the names and score here.
• Be sure to refresh the scoreboard source (or hide and show) in your overlay after updating the score.

In the Aztec overlay by Wolf Studios, you can add your stream’s chat in the Chat browser source. Most streaming tools generate a URL that you can add as this browser source. Before performing the instructions below, you must find or prepare this URL. Use the following StreamElements example if you’re uncertain where to find these URLs.

StreamElements Example:
StreamElements lets you set up overlays on their website. You can add elements to an overlay like your stream’s chat, donation goals, and so forth. Each overlay you create has a unique URL. To add the overlay to your stream, you copy the URL and add it to OBS as a browser source.

Because the Aztec overlay has a unique position for the stream chat, you may want to create a new overlay. This lets you position the chat exactly where it needs to be on the overlay. It also lets you add any customizations, like Aztec-themed notifications for new followers or subscriptions. If you create a new overlay, you may want to copy an existing overlay, then change the necessary features.

1. Locate the URL for your chat, as explained in the “Before you begin” section above.

3. Select the 01_MAIN scene.
4. Double-click Chat in the Sources list.

5. Paste your chat URL into the URL field. 
6. Click OK.

By default, the Aztec overlay displays an image of an Aztec skeleton on the right-side. This is the placeholder image that you can use if you don’t have a webcam. If you do have a webcam, you can display it on top of the placeholder image:

1. In OBS, be sure you have the Aztec-Tourney-Wolf-Studios scene collection selected.
2. Select the 01_MAIN scene.
3. Double-click Video Capture Device in the Sources list.
4. Click the Device drop-down and select the webcam you want to use.
5. Make any additional customizations you want to the settings. For example, you can enable Deactivate when not showing, which turns your camera off when the scene is not active.
6. Click OK.
7. If necessary, change the size of the camera feed to fill the entire open space. Any resizing you do to the camera feed must be repeated on all scenes with your camera feed.

TIP:
You can crop your video feed by selecting the source, making sure it’s not locked, press and hold the “Alt” key on your keyboard, then dragging the edges of the camera feed in and out.

The Audio Mixer section of OBS shows any audio playing from sources in your scene. Some sources, like the dancing Tzitzimitl myth unit, generate an audio input in the mixer even though it doesn’t actually produce any audio. You can hide these audio inputs, keeping your mixer clean and easy to use. 

1. Open the Aztec scene collection in OBS.
2. Select a scene. 
3. Locate any audio inputs that you suspect do not produce actual audio, like 02_DANCE.
4. Click the three dots to open the options for that input.

5. Select Hide. Be sure not to hide audio inputs like your microphone or your desktop audio.
6. If you want to view all audio inputs for a scene, click the three dots at the bottom of the Audio Mixer and select Unhide All. This may be useful if you accidentally hid an important audio source like your microphone.
