How to Make an Android SMS Chat Overlay for Videos & Streams

Step 1: Generate Your Android SMS Chat Animation

  • Go to the embedded generator on this page (no app or signup needed).
  • Customize the Android Messages look: blue/teal sent bubbles, grey received bubbles, add timestamps, contact name, and number.
  • Type out your staged conversation for your skit, meme, or mockup. Adjust message timing for the animation.
  • Preview the animation. When ready, export as MP4 (animated) or PNG (screenshot).

Step 2: Prepare the Chat Overlay for Your Video

  • Open your video editor (CapCut, Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve) or streaming software (OBS).
  • Import the exported chat animation (MP4/WebM). The file has a solid background, not transparent.
  • For overlays, add the chat animation as a new video or media source.

Step 3: Position and Style the Overlay

  • Scale down the chat animation and place it in a corner of your gameplay, vlog, or stream layout.
  • Optionally, round the corners or add a phone frame for realism.
  • Sync the chat animation with your voice-over or on-screen reactions by trimming or timing the clip.
  • For a cut-out look, use the PNG export and mask or crop it in your editor.

Step 4: Use Responsibly and Label Clearly

  • Vidulk’s fake chat generator is for entertainment, skits, memes, and mockups only.
  • Never use overlays to impersonate real people or deceive viewers.
  • If your overlay could mislead, clearly label it as staged or fictional.

Make it now - the free generator is on this page, preset to this platform. Export as video or screenshot.
