Warning!
There is a possibility OBS might capture the HUD if started before game. If you hide any confidential information, make sure to double-check that it's not visible in the stream.

For additional safety you can enable test icon, which is displayed all the time and should not be visible on stream. It should let you check if the mod is working correctly.

I am not responsible for any confidential information accidentally shown on stream.

Frequently Asked Questions

OBS Overlay server crashes on startup – what to do?

Most common cause: wrong fabric version or insufficient RAM. Check the server log (latest.log) for "OutOfMemoryError" or "Mixin" errors. With Mado Hosting: ensure at least 3 GB RAM is allocated and the loader matches the mod version (1.21.4). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.

Is OBS Overlay compatible with fabric and neoforge?

OBS Overlay officially supports fabric, neoforge for Minecraft 1.21.4, 1.21, 1.20.6. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.

Server lagging with OBS Overlay – how to optimize performance?

Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if OBS Overlay consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge. With Mado Hosting, your server runs on NVMe SSDs with dedicated CPU cores for minimal latency.
