Make your tournaments look more professional with uno’s Valorant overlays

Take your Valorant tournaments to the next level with our free OBS overlays

Running a Valorant tournament and want to make it look more professional? With Uno Overlays, you can easily upgrade your streams using our custom-designed overlays tailored specifically for Valorant. Whether you're a streamer or an organizer, these overlays will give your event that polished, esports-ready look for free.

Valorant is a game that requires no introduction. It’s played by some of the largest streamers in the world such as Pokimane, Kyedae, XQC, and Shroud. Live streaming Valorant is always a sure bet for enthusiastic fans, but you can make your content look even better with free valorant overlays.

Why a Valorant tournament attracts more viewers

Valorant is one of the largest esports games, coming in at fourth place out of all esports in terms of peak viewership. It combines strategic gameplay with the typical adrenaline boost that comes with classic gunplay. That’s why a lot of streamers like to set up Valorant tournaments for their community to enjoy. Valorant tournaments are regularly streamed on all popular platforms, from Facebook to DouYu. If you’re a gaming streamer looking to host a big event that will draw large numbers of viewers, this is a great way to get more of your casual viewers invested in your content. It’s also a great chance to invite other streamers you know to take part to broaden your viewership pool. 

There’s a lot that goes into creating a successful Valorant tournament – including making sure you have the right setup, scheduling, and an internet connection and CPU that won’t die on you halfway through.

You also want to add Valorant stream overlays to add a touch of professionalism. However,  finding great streaming layouts for valorant tournaments can be difficult unless you hire your own graphic designer. If you do find Valorant overlays, you might also have to download large ZIP files without many options for editing and customization. Here’s how uno can help!

Free, easy-to-use Valorant overlays by uno 

Uno has recently come out with two different Valorant-inspired overlays to take your live stream to the next level. 

Our Champion-themed Matchup Fullscreen overlay shows important information such as the characters being used by each player, and the map that the match is taking part in.

Use uno’s Champion-themed Map Veto Fullscreen overlay to show off each team member while you pick where each team is starting on the map as part of the veto process.

How to use our Valorant overlays

Uno overlays are really easy and intuitive to use. You can add as many overlays to your personal library as you want, and control them in real-time without having to waste memory on your device. Our overlay interfaces are also mobile-friendly. By signing in, not only can you use any overlay for free, but you can also upload images to our online library so you can easily host logos, maps, and characters.

Here’s how you can quickly set up an uno overlay for your next Valorant livestream.

Go to overlays.uno and sign up for free to start using and editing any of our overlays – no downloads or ZIP files needed! You can now add our Valorant overlays to your stream in three simple steps:

Step 1- Add the Valorant overlay to My Overlays

Click on the overlay you want to use for your Valorant tournament or live stream session. Select “Add to My Overlays” to add the overlay to your personal library. 

You will automatically be redirected to My Overlays. 

Step 2- Edit the information and images

Double-click on the overlay you want to use to open up the uno overlay interface. (For the purposes of this tutorial, we’re using the Matchup Fullscreen overlay,  but these instructions should also work with the Map Veto overlay, with some adjustments.)

Not sure how to change the images? 

You might want to change images  if the characters in your game are not part of the 10 characters that are used in our template. You will need to create or find your own images with transparent backgrounds. Once you have done that, you can upload the images to uno. Here’s how to do that:

  • Click My Images in the menu bar on the left side of overlays.uno. 
  • Click the Upload image button, then click “Upload File” to choose your files – or simply drag and drop the images into the space provided.
  • Once you’ve uploaded the image, you can select it directly from your images in the overlay interface page.
Simply click on the folder icon next to the image you want to change, and select from your image library.

Step 3- Add the overlay to your streaming layout

All uno overlays are compatible with your favorite streaming software, including OBS Studio, which is compatible with Windows, macOS, and Linux. 

Here’s how you can add your new Valorant overlay to an OBS scene in OBS Studio:

  • Open OBS Studio and add a new Browser Source.
  • Next, go to your uno controls and click on the Copy Output URL button and paste it in the URL field in OBS.

You can resize or move the overlay around the screen in OBS Studio however you want.

Start streaming with your new Valorant overlay!
