Draw on top of anything you stream.
Click-through transparency means your game keeps responding to mouse and keyboard while the overlay is visible to viewers. Press a hotkey, draw the play, the ink fades on its own. Compatible with OBS, Streamlabs, Twitch Studio, and XSplit out of the box.
No credit card required. Works on Windows 10 & 11.
Click-through transparency, on by default
The overlay is on screen. Your viewers see it. But your inputs pass through to whatever is underneath, so the game keeps responding, your chat keeps scrolling, your editor keeps accepting clicks. Press Ctrl + Shift + P to toggle drawing on only when you want to mark something up. Press it again to disappear.
The features that earned streamers our license
Out of HoverScribble's 20+ tools, these are the ones streamers reach for during a live broadcast.
Fading ink
Strokes auto-clear after a few seconds. Crucial for live streams where you do not want annotation residue piling up on top of your gameplay.
Laser pointer
A virtual laser dot that follows your cursor. Use it to point at exactly where the trap is, where the cooldown indicator just changed, where you want viewers to look.
Spotlight
Dims everything except a circle around your cursor. Great for "everyone, look at this minimap detail" moments mid-game.
Global hotkey toggle
One hotkey to bring up the toolbar, one to dismiss. Set it to a key your stream deck or your gaming keyboard knows. Zero alt-tabbing.
Setting up HoverScribble for your stream
No special plugin. No OBS configuration tweaks. About 90 seconds.
Install HoverScribble
Run the installer, log in with your trial. The app sits in your system tray and waits for the hotkey.
Use Display Capture in OBS
Display Capture grabs everything on your screen, including the HoverScribble overlay. No extra setup needed.
Pick a hotkey you'll remember mid-stream
Default is Ctrl + Shift + P. Bind it to your stream deck if you want one-button toggle.
Stream
Hotkey to draw, hotkey to dismiss. Fading ink takes care of cleanup. The toolbar can be hidden too if you don't want it on stream.
Works with every streaming setup
Display Capture in any of these tools picks up the overlay automatically.
One payment. Lifetime use.
No subscription. No per-stream licensing. No yearly renewal email.
