Using and sharing templates

The template library is one shelf of scenes and Twitch panels you can copy into your own editor, and the place your own designs go once you decide to share them.

The public gallery is at /templates, and it holds both kinds of design: full OBS scenes and 320 pixel wide Twitch panels. Curated pulz templates and reviewed community submissions sit on the same shelf. Browsing needs no account.

Browsing the library

  • Search by name, then narrow by surface (Panels or Scenes) and by one of the 14 style categories.
  • Filters live in the address bar, so a filtered shelf such as /templates?surface=panel&category=neon is a real page you can link or bookmark.
  • Every card is a live render of the design, not a stored screenshot. What you see is what the editor will open.
  • Cards are credited: by pulz for the curated ones, or by @handle linking to that creator's page. An install count appears once a template has any.

Applying one to your channel

Start a scene or panel from a template

  1. Open Overlays or Twitch Panels in the dashboard sidebar.The browser only ever shows templates for the surface you are in, so a panel never turns up while you are building a scene.
  2. Press Browse templates.It is a tile at the end of your designs, and the first button on the empty state if you have none yet.
  3. Filter by category or search by name.Each card renders against your own theme, name and numbers, so you are previewing your version rather than the author's.
  4. Press Use this.The design is copied into your account and opens in the editor immediately, under the template's name until you rename it.

Sharing a design of your own

Submitting happens inside the editor, on the design you want to share, so there is nothing to upload or export.

  2. Press Share as template in the toolbar.It is the last button on the right.
  3. Name it.Up to 60 characters, at least two. It starts filled in with the design's current name.

  5. Press Send for review.You get Sent for review. We will publish it once a moderator takes a look.

What you send is a copy of the design as it stands at that moment. Carrying on editing your own scene afterwards does not change the version under review, and it does not change the version people install once it is published.

FAQ

Can I change a template after I use it?

Yes, all of it. Applying a template copies the whole design into your editor: layers, text, colours and widgets are yours to change from there.

Will editing my copy change the template other people get?

No. The copy in your account and the entry in the library are separate from the moment you press Use this, in both directions.

Do I need an account to use a template?

You can browse /templates and see every live preview without signing in. Applying one needs an account, because there is nothing to copy it into otherwise.

How long does review take?

There is no published turnaround. Submissions sit as pending until a moderator gets to them, and nothing is sent to you either way.

Can I take a submitted template back down?

Not yourself. Library entries are removed by a moderator, so ask if you need one taken down.
