Creating an Overwolf account

We recommend logging into Overwolf to be able to review apps and to subscribe to them. You can log in with your Google, Facebook or Discord account, or by creating a new Overwolf account:



Please note that if you create an account with one of the SSO options the account username will be pulled from the SSO account details (For example, if you create an account using Google your Google username will also be your Overwolf account username.)


Note that some Overwolf apps may also ask you to register to their own service in order to start using them.

Appstore

Overwolf's Appstore is where you'll find all the apps that Overwolf has to offer. 

You can open up the Appstore by right clicking on Overwolf's taskbar icon and choosing "Appstore" from the menu, or by clicking on the icon to bring up the dock, and clicking the box icon there.


Within the Appstore, you can browse apps by a category, like Capture & Stream, or by a specific game. Once you find an app that you would like to try, simply click on the "Install" button, and it will be added to your Overwolf!




You can now also subscribe to apps and support the app authors! Read more about subscribing to apps Here.


You can also download Overwolf apps from the web based Overwolf app store here.


Make sure to only install Overwolf apps from their official sources to avoid issues!

What is an Overlay, and How do I Make it Work?

An overlay is essentially a "layer", that can be used to display windows and other elements on top of a game, and can be turned on and off according to your wants and needs, without affecting the game itself. You can read more about it right here.


In order to have Overwolf's overlay ready for use with the game that you're playing, please open up Overwolf's settings window, and make sure that:


  1. The game appears on the list
  2. The game's overlay option is enabled



Is everything set correctly but you're still having trouble getting the overlay to work? Please check out our Overlay Troubleshooting guide.

Capture Settings

To start capturing videos of your gameplay, please download one of the capturing apps available in our appstore. Once an app with a game or screen capture feature is installed, you will be able to access Overwolf's Capture settings.


The default capture settings are 720p and 30 FPS. If you would like to change the resolution, FPS or other capture settings, you can do so by opening Overwolf's settings window and clicking on the "Capture" tab:



If you encounter any issue when recording your gameplay, please visit our Common Capture Issues article.


Please note that certain Overwolf apps that offer recording options will have their own in-app capture settings.
