Falling snow is the easiest way to give your stream a winter vibe. Set the amount, size, speed, wind and flake shape, and the background stays transparent, so the snow falls over your game and webcam.
What you can customize
- Dots, crystals ❄ or mixed
- Depth blur
- Wind to the left or right
- Snow only on the sides or on half the screen
How to add it to OBS step by step
- Select "Snow" from the list and adjust the look in the preview: colors, text, speed and other options.
- Click "Copy" next to the Browser Source link.
- In OBS Studio, add a source: Sources → + → Browser (Browser Source) and paste the link into the URL field.
- Set the source size to 1920×1080 px. The background is transparent, no custom CSS needed.
- Drag the source above the other layers so it's visible on stream.
Questions and answers
How do I add snow to my stream in OBS?
Set up how the snow looks, copy the link and add it in OBS as a 1920×1080 Browser source above your other layers.
Are the overlays free?
Yes. All overlays on overlays.vxh.pl are free, with no sign-up, no watermark and no limits.
Does it work in Streamlabs, Meld and TikTok Live Studio?
Yes, in any app that has a browser source (Browser Source): OBS Studio, Streamlabs Desktop, Meld Studio, XSplit and TikTok Live Studio.
Where are my settings saved?
All settings are stored in the OBS link itself. You can also save them under a name in the "Saved" tab, but that copy lives only in this browser's storage (localStorage). It won't be there on another computer, which is why the VXH1- share code exists for moving settings around.
Does the overlay slow down my computer?
Effects are drawn on a single canvas or in CSS and run smoothly in OBS. If your computer is on the slower side, lower the "Amount" slider or the source size.
