About IGOverlay – Live Comments Overlay for Instagram
IGOverlay puts your Instagram Live comments on stream as a clean, animated overlay, ready for any streaming app that supports a browser source.
Completely free. Every feature unlocked, no watermark.
HOW IT WORKS
Install the extension and sign in (free account), and you get a personal overlay URL.
Go live on instagram.com in Chrome. An "⏺ Overlay" button appears in the Live controls.
Press it to start capturing comments, then click "Copy URL".
In your Streaming App, add a Browser Source, paste the URL, and enable a transparent background.
New comments now animate onto your stream in real time.
FEATURES
• Animated comment cards with usernames and avatars
• Dashboard with live capture status, comment counter and one-click overlay URL
• Step-by-step setup guide with pictures, right inside the extension
• Overlay Studio: 6 ready-made looks, colour palettes, 8 fonts, card shape, glow, blur and more
• Motion controls: 9 entrance and 7 exit animations, speed, bounce, typewriter text and idle effects
• Show one comment at a time or a rolling chat stack
• Optional text-to-speech that reads comments aloud
• Light and dark mode
• Real-time: style changes apply to open overlays instantly
• One permanent overlay URL per account, so set it up once and reuse it every stream
• Optional webhook: POST each comment as JSON to your own server or bot
• Works with any streaming software that has a browser source
PRIVACY
• Runs only on instagram.com, and only captures comments while you have pressed Overlay on your own Live. Press Stop and it stops.
• Never asks for or stores your Instagram password.
• Captured comments are relayed only to power your overlay and are deleted automatically.
• No ads, no tracking, no selling data.
