Using and sharing templates

The template library is a shelf of Twitch panel sets you can copy into your own editor, and the place your own designs go once you decide to share them.

Overlays and scenes4 min readUpdated October 12, 2026

The public gallery is at /templates. It holds Twitch panel sets curated by pulz, plus community submissions after review; the Scenes shelf is empty for now, and the first scene a community member shares will appear there. Browsing needs no account. On /templates, Use template copies that design into your account and opens it in the editor. If you are signed out you sign in first, and it opens straight after.

Browsing the library

  • Search by name, then narrow by surface (Panels or Scenes) and by one of the 14 style categories.
  • Filters live in the address bar, so a filtered shelf such as /templates?surface=panel&category=neon is a real page you can link or bookmark.
  • Every card is a live render of the design, not a stored screenshot, drawn on a sample profile. What you see is what the editor will open.
  • Cards are credited: by pulz for the curated ones, or by @handle linking to that creator's page. An install count appears once a template has any.

Applying one to your channel

Start a scene or panel from a template

  1. Open Overlays or Twitch Panels in the dashboard sidebar.The browser only ever shows templates for the surface you are in, so a panel never turns up while you are building a scene.
  2. Press Browse templates.It is in the header of your list, next to New scene or New panel, and the first button on the empty state if you have no designs yet.
  3. Filter by category or search by name.In the editor's browser each card is drawn with your own colours and name, so you preview your version rather than the author's.
  4. Press Use template.Clicking the preview does the same. The design is copied into your account and opens in the editor immediately, under the template's name until you rename it.

You can keep up to 30 scenes and 30 panels. Past that the copy is refused with You can keep up to 30 scenes. Delete one to make room. - a message nothing in the editor shows you yet, so Use template looks like it did nothing. Delete a design to make room.

Sharing a design of your own

Submitting happens inside the editor, on the design you want to share, so there is nothing to upload or export.

Submit a template for review

  1. Open the design in the editor.
  2. Press Share as template in the toolbar.It is the last button on the right. It works for scenes and for whole panel sets, and your handle is credited on the card.
  3. Name it.Up to 60 characters, at least two. It starts filled in with the design's current name.
  4. Pick a category and write one line about it.The same 14 style categories the library is browsed by. The line is up to 140 characters and goes to the moderator with your design; it is not shown on the card yet.
  5. Press Send for review.You get Sent for review. We will publish it once a moderator takes a look.

What you send is a copy of the design as it stands at that moment. Carrying on editing your own scene afterwards does not change the version under review, and it does not change the version people install once it is published.

  • An empty design is refused with This design is empty.
  • You can send up to 10 submissions in any 24 hours. The next one answers You have submitted a lot today. Try again tomorrow.
  • A moderator can rename, recategorise or tidy a submission before publishing it.
  • Published submissions appear on /templates credited to your handle, and link back to your page.

FAQ

Can I change a template after I use it?

Yes, all of it. Applying a template copies the whole design into your editor: layers, text, colours and widgets are yours to change from there. If a template is a single panel, you get the standard six-panel starter set dressed in that panel's look rather than one card.

Will editing my copy change the template other people get?

No. The copy in your account and the entry in the library are separate from the moment you press Use template, in both directions.

Do I need an account to use a template?

You can browse /templates and see every live preview without signing in. Applying one needs an account, because there is nothing to copy it into otherwise.

How long does review take?

There is no published turnaround. Submissions sit as pending until a moderator gets to them, and nothing is sent to you either way.

Can I take a submitted template back down?

Not yourself. Library entries are removed by a moderator, so ask if you need one taken down.
