Best Practices

Overlay Design

1. Transparency: Request PNG with transparent backgrounds for overlays
2. Safe Zones: Keep important elements away from edges (Twitch UI covers corners)
3. Readability: Ensure text is readable on various game backgrounds
4. Consistency: Use session_id to maintain style across overlay sets
5. Color Contrast: Use colors that stand out but do not distract from gameplay

Emotes & Badges

1. Bold Lines: Use thick outlines for visibility at small sizes
2. Simple Designs: Less detail works better at 28x28 and 18x18 sizes
3. Test Sizes: Request all size variants or design for the smallest size
4. Expression First: Emotes should convey emotion instantly

Screen Graphics

1. Brand Consistency: Maintain colors and style across all screens
2. Text Hierarchy: Make primary text (Starting Soon, BRB) most prominent
3. Social Integration: Include space for social media handles
4. Animation-Ready: Design with potential animation in mind

Prompt Tips for Streaming Graphics

When creating streaming overlays, include these details:

1. Dimensions: Specify exact pixel dimensions
2. Theme: Gaming genre, aesthetic (cyberpunk, cozy, anime, etc.)
3. Colors: Primary and accent colors that match your brand
4. Transparency: Specify if you need transparent background
5. Text Space: Where text/logos will be placed
6. Style Reference: Esports, cozy, retro, minimal, etc.
7. Platform: Twitch, YouTube, or multi-platform

Example Prompt Structure

"Create a [dimensions] [asset type] for [platform].
[Theme/aesthetic] with [color scheme].
Include [specific elements] and space for [text/overlays].
[Transparency requirements]. [Style reference]."

Mode Selection

Ask your users before generating:

"Do you want fast & cheap, or high quality?"

| Mode | Best For | Speed | Quality | |------|----------|-------|---------| | max | Final production overlays, emote sets, brand assets | Slower | Highest | | eco | Quick concepts, drafts, style exploration | Faster | Good |

Multi-Turn Overlay Set Creation

Use session_id to create cohesive overlay packages:

# Create base style
curl -X POST https://sense.eachlabs.run/chat \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "X-API-Key: $EACHLABS_API_KEY" \
  -H "Accept: text/event-stream" \
  -d '{
    "message": "Create a webcam frame with a Japanese cherry blossom theme, soft pink and white colors, elegant minimal design",
    "session_id": "sakura-overlay-set"
  }'

# Create matching starting soon
curl -X POST https://sense.eachlabs.run/chat \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "X-API-Key: $EACHLABS_API_KEY" \
  -H "Accept: text/event-stream" \
  -d '{
    "message": "Create a matching Starting Soon screen in the same cherry blossom style",
    "session_id": "sakura-overlay-set"
  }'

# Create matching BRB screen
curl -X POST https://sense.eachlabs.run/chat \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "X-API-Key: $EACHLABS_API_KEY" \
  -H "Accept: text/event-stream" \
  -d '{
    "message": "Create a matching BRB screen, same aesthetic with falling petals",
    "session_id": "sakura-overlay-set"
  }'

# Create matching alerts
curl -X POST https://sense.eachlabs.run/chat \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "X-API-Key: $EACHLABS_API_KEY" \
  -H "Accept: text/event-stream" \
  -d '{
    "message": "Create follow and subscribe alerts matching this cherry blossom theme",
    "session_id": "sakura-overlay-set"
  }'

Complete Overlay Package Example

Generate a full streaming package in one session:

# Initialize the package style
curl -X POST https://sense.eachlabs.run/chat \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "X-API-Key: $EACHLABS_API_KEY" \
  -H "Accept: text/event-stream" \
  -d '{
    "message": "I am creating a complete Twitch overlay package. Theme: Cyberpunk Neon City. Colors: Hot pink, electric blue, purple. Style: Futuristic, glowing edges, holographic elements. Start with the main webcam overlay frame at 1920x1080.",
    "session_id": "cyberpunk-package",
    "mode": "max"
  }'

Error Handling

| Error | Cause | Solution | |-------|-------|----------| | Failed to create prediction: HTTP 422 | Insufficient balance | Top up at eachlabs.ai | | Content policy violation | Prohibited content | Adjust prompt to comply with platform guidelines | | Timeout | Complex generation | Set client timeout to minimum 10 minutes | | Inconsistent style | No session_id | Use session_id for multi-asset generation |
