The new Strexm v2.0, debuting at TwitchCon, will be a complete overhaul of the popular overlay management tool. With Strexm v2.0, you can level up your live stream by using Strexm’s beautiful and intuitive drag and drop overlay editor. You can now create a stunning overlay design without the need for photoshop or graphic design skills and easily import it into XSplit or OBS.

Strexm are also adding over 150 customisable overlays to their service, which are tailored around the latest titles, including Overwatch, Doom, League of Legends and more. They will now allow additional custom widgets and alerts. Broadcasters can also easily add overlay-designed polls, goals, labels, timers and more to their broadcast and create new opportunities for interactivity with their viewers.
