Practical guides for making keyboard, mouse, arrow-key, and gamepad input visible in OBS Studio, TikTok LIVE Studio, tutorials, gameplay, and recorded demonstrations.

Build a clearer input overlay workflow
Overlay Cat guides focus on decisions a creator can test: which input viewers need to understand, how the source reaches broadcast software, where the visual belongs in a scene, and when it should be hidden for privacy. The articles use the current Desktop workflow and first-party interface screenshots rather than generic streaming advice.
Start with the complete keyboard-and-mouse article when you are planning a new setup. Use the OBS or TikTok LIVE Studio guides when you already know the target platform and need exact connection steps. The input tester and template collection provide a faster way to explore events and layouts.

Still choosing a visual?
Compare the keyboard overlay formats when you need to decide between a full, compact, arrow-key, mouse, or gamepad layout. Then use the template collection to connect that format with a character, placement, and stream use case.
Ready to connect broadcast software?
Use the OBS or TikTok LIVE Studio article for exact source steps. Both explain the local link workflow, but the scene decisions differ: OBS usually offers a wider canvas, while TikTok LIVE needs compact placement and a phone-sized preview check.
Not sure whether input is detected?
Open the browser input overlay tester to inspect keyboard event codes and mouse buttons. The tester is deliberately page-scoped; install Overlay Cat Desktop when input must continue while a game or another application has focus.
