Lucky for you we’ve tested all the major overlay makers and put together a list of the best ones so anyone can get on with creating their own overlays. If your overlay injects itself into the game and isn't a standalone app, its user interface is usually painted within the game graphics and can just be captured along with the game with game capture. This is the usually case if your overlay is only visible if you run the game windowed or windowed fullscreen, but not with true fullscreen. If your overlay is an app that creates an additional transparent window painted over the game window, you can try to capture that with window capture. Overlays usually come as static *.jpg image or as a link to a browser page, which in OBS you either include as media source (image) or as browser source. Display capture is a last resort, if game capture and window capture don't work. However, you capture games with game capture, not with display capture. One display capture already grabs everything that is on the display. It's not clear how you need multiple display captures just to add overlays.
