How to Add a Webcam Frame in OBS (Step-by-Step)
A plain-language, step-by-step guide to frame your facecam - follow along and you'll be done in a few minutes.
The quick answer
To frame your facecam: Add your camera as a Video Capture Device source, then work through the steps below. The whole thing takes a few minutes and needs no design software - if you can drag a file into OBS, you can do this.
Step-by-step
- Add your camera as a Video Capture Device source.
- Add your frame (PNG) as an Image source above the camera in the list.
- Resize the camera to sit inside the frame's cutout.
- Group them so they move together.
Make it match your brand
Pick a frame that matches your camera's aspect ratio, not the canvas. A stream reads as professional when every piece agrees - the same fonts, the same palette, the same mood. If you're building your look from scratch, a complete animated overlay pack gives you matching screens, frames, alerts and panels in one download.
FAQ
No. This is a drag-and-drop process in OBS or your alert tool. Ready-made packs give you the art; you just place it.
