Top 10 Mixer Themes and Templates for Leading Streamers

Mixer is Microsoft’s answer to Twitch – a videogame live streaming platform. It doesn't yet have the same high profile as Twitch or YouTube Gaming, but that is sure to change now that they have enticed champion gaming streamer, Ninja, to the platform. 

Like most of its competitors, Mixer makes it easy to add themes, templates, and other overlays to your screen, to give you a personalized streaming experience. Luckily it uses many of the same filetypes as Twitch and the others so you can use many of the same themes and templates across all of your streaming platforms.

We’ve taken a look at firms that provide various types of overlays (some free, some paid), as well as a range of tools that you can use to create or modify your own themes and templates.

Top 10 Mixer Themes and Templates:

1. Own3D.tv – Animated Starter Bundle

Like most themes and templates for livestreaming, Own3D.tv’s graphics are generally interchangeable between streaming platforms. They refer to their products as "Twitch overlays and stream designs," but make it clear that they are entirely usable on Twitch, YouTube Gaming,  Facebook Live, and Mixer, as well as some of the All-in-One Platforms that enhance your streaming, like Player.me and ORB.

Own3D.tv offers a wide range of themes and templates.  These include complete packages, webcam overlays, talking overlays, offline banners, profile banners, alerts, alert sounds, panels, stinger transitions, sub emotes, sub badges, and avatar makers.

If you are a relatively new streamer, then the Animated Starter Bundle may be a good place to personalize your stream. The Animated Starter Bundle comes with multiple components and options. Again, although Own3D.tv uses the word “Twitch” in their descriptions, many items should be just as usable for Mixer streaming. Each set comes with:

• Everything in the same design style
