How can I add overlays in OBS

[chickendang8546]

Hello

I'm fairly new to OBS.
I've googled a lot about this subject and it seems this functionality is removed from OBS?
So my question: Is there an alternative way except adding a Display Capture cause I've noticed with every added Display Capture my PC gets sluggier. And I need to add 4 overlays.

The overlays are from StarParse and are used with the game Star Wars The Old Republic.
If there is anyone out here who can help me or point me in the right direction I'd be a very happy streamer :)

It's not clear how you need multiple display captures just to add overlays. One display capture already grabs everything that is on the display.
However, you capture games with game capture, not with display capture. Display capture is a last resort, if game capture and window capture don't work.

Overlays usually come as static *.jpg image or as a link to a browser page, which in OBS you either include as media source (image) or as browser source.

If your overlay is an app that creates an additional transparent window painted over the game window, you can try to capture that with window capture. This is the usually case if your overlay is only visible if you run the game windowed or windowed fullscreen, but not with true fullscreen.

If your overlay injects itself into the game and isn't a standalone app, its user interface is usually painted within the game graphics and can just be captured along with the game with game capture. This is usually the case if you are able to run your game in true fullscreen mode (not windowed fullscreen) and the overlay is still visible.
