Overlay

Before you start

• The overlay appears automatically while you record, in the top-right corner of the game window. When you're not recording it shows "Standby".
• Clicks pass straight through it, so it never gets in the way of your game.
• It's left out of recordings and screenshots only if you choose. By default the overlay appears in your recordings.

1. Show or hide the overlay

• Press Alt+O. Windows shows "Overlay Enabled" or "Overlay Disabled".
• Or right-click the TopMod Capture tray icon and click Show Overlay.
• Or go to Settings > Overlay and switch Enable overlay on or off.

2. Change its position and look

1. Open Settings (the gear icon at the top of the sidebar, or Alt+,).
2. Click Overlay.
3. Choose a Position: Top Left, Top Right, Bottom Left or Bottom Right.
4. Set the Opacity and Width.
5. To keep the overlay out of your recordings and screenshots, switch on Exclude from capture.

3. Choose the metrics

The overlay starts with FPS, CPU, GPU and RAM.

1. Under Overlay Metrics, switch on Preview overlay to see your changes on screen.
2. Click + Add metric to add one, such as Frame time, 1% low FPS, GPU temperature, VRAM or Recording timer.
3. Drag rows, or use Move up and Move down, to change the order.
4. Click Remove metric to take one off. You can add it back later.
5. Click a colour dot to change a metric's colour.

Changes save straight away.

Troubleshooting

• The overlay doesn't appear. Check Enable overlay is on, then press Alt+O.
• The overlay disappears in fullscreen. Exclusive fullscreen hides it. Switch the game to borderless windowed mode.
• Values show —. There's no data for that metric yet, or you're recording a display. Display recordings only show the timer and bitrate.
• The overlay is in my recordings. Switch on Exclude from capture in Settings > Overlay.
