The in-game overlay gives you quick access to stream controls and additional gaming features without leaving your game. From the overlay, you can enable the virtual keyboard or controller, view the lobby, enable touchscreen controls, and access other available stream options.

### Before You Start

Before opening the overlay, you need to configure the keyboard shortcut used to trigger it.

Click [here](spacerun://settings/inputs/overlay_keys) to open Overlay button combo settings, or:

1. Open Settings.

2. Go to Inputs.

3. Find Overlay button combo and set your preferred key combination.

4. Find Button combo delay and set a delay for detecting key combinations.

> **Tip:** Choose a key combination that doesn't conflict with the game's controls. You can use **Button combo delay** to control how quickly the combination is recognized, helping prevent the overlay shortcut from interfering with regular game inputs.

### Open the Overlay on Mobile

On mobile devices, you can open the overlay using a two-finger gesture:
