About
Overlaysmith is a Chrome extension that places one image over the camera video sent during browser-based video calls. It works on the user's outgoing camera feed, so the meeting host does not need to install, configure, or approve anything. Users can import transparent PNG, WebP, AVIF, or GIF images, automatically remove solid green backgrounds, or create a typed lower third with a title, subtitle, and color. Built-in prompt templates help users create compatible graphics with external AI image tools, while safe-zone guides show how designs may be cropped on phones and grid layouts. Overlays can be previewed before joining a call, changed, or turned off while a call is running. Camera and image processing happens locally on the user's computer. There is no account, cloud video processing, recording, analytics, or subscription. Every feature is free; a one-time $1.99 payment removes the Overlaysmith watermark.
