Workflow
How to set up your Kick overlay
A Vision overlay is a single browser source in OBS, so every layer works on Kick: counters, timers, win challenges, images and scenes. On top of that, Vision reads your Kick chat directly and shows it in your overlay – on its own or merged with Twitch and YouTube.
- 1
Sign in with Kick
Create your Vision account with your Kick login. The Free plan includes one overlay with up to 10 layers and needs no credit card.

Add your Kick chat
Add a chat layer and enter your Kick channel. Add your Twitch or YouTube channel too if you multistream, and the messages appear in one chat.

Add the rest of your layers
Place a death or win counter, a countdown, a win challenge list or images. Style fonts, colors and animations to match your stream.

Add it to OBS
Copy the overlay URL and add it in OBS as a Browser Source with the same size as your canvas, then go live on Kick as usual.
