Warning
With the latest changes to Discord, they have fixed the issue my program was meant to solve. Which is to allow you to see a discord overlay over any program. Specifically when playing web games such as on Roll20 or FoundryVTT.
This overlay host is to provide a desktop overlay for when you're playing games in the browser and still want to see who's talking (such as TTRPGs on FoundryVTT or Roll20).
Requires Windows and .NET v4.5.2 or greater
| Steps | Images |
|---|---|
| Extract and run the "Discord Overlay.exe" file. Found in Releases | |
| Move the "Discord Overlay Host" window somewhere out of the way (but must stay on screen somewhere, even in the background). | |
| Place and resize the "Discord Overlay" window anywhere you want. |
The Discord Overlay Host window must always be open and NOT minimized, but you can let it get buried by other windows.
IMPORTANT! If you need to interact directly with Discord's overlay (such as if Discord is asking you to do something), you may do so using the "Discord Overlay Host" window, not the one that vanishes.
