Watermarks are your logos, shown on top of your stream for the whole broadcast. Each overlay can show or hide a primary and a secondary watermark, and you can switch them on or off at any time, even while you're live.

Before you start
Your watermark images are set in your competition settings, not on the overlay. Upload your primary and secondary logos there first. The overlay only decides whether each one is shown.
You need an overlay, or to be creating one.
Show or hide your watermarks
Open the overlay's settings. When you're adding a new overlay, you're already in Create Overlay. For an existing overlay, go to Matches, expand the match, open the menu at the end of the overlay's row and click Configure.
Find Show Primary Watermark. Next to it you'll see a preview card of the primary watermark from your competition settings. Toggle it on to show it, or off to hide it.
Find Show Secondary Watermark and do the same. It has its own preview card.
Click Create for a new overlay, or Update for an existing one.
Your overlay is saved with these settings. Both toggles are on by default for a new overlay, so if you don't want a logo on screen, switch it off before you save.
Primary and secondary: which is which?
The two watermarks are simply two logo slots, each with its own image in your competition settings. A common setup is your competition or league logo as the primary, and a partner or club logo as the secondary. Because each has its own toggle, you can show both, one or neither on each overlay. For example, you might show both on Main Feed but only the primary on Big Screen.
Changing watermarks during a broadcast
You can switch watermarks on or off at any time: before the match, during a live broadcast, or after the final whistle. You don't need to stop the overlay or the stream. Open Configure, change the toggle and click Update. This is handy if, say, you need to remove a logo for one segment and bring it back later.
Auto Background
Auto Background sits in the same pop-up and works the same way. Toggle it on for automatic background graphics, or off to turn them off. Like watermarks, you can change it at any time without stopping the overlay or stream, and the change is saved when you click Create or Update.
Tips and common mistakes
Toggle is on but no logo? Check that a watermark image has been uploaded in your competition settings.
Wrong logo showing? Change the image in your competition settings. It updates for every overlay in that competition.
Same setup every match? Set the watermark toggles in your overlay template, so every new overlay starts the way you want.
