How to Set Up the Medal Overlay for Injection

If the menu still won't show after the troubleshooting guide, some games inject more reliably through Medal.tv's overlay. You only need the overlay. Every recording feature stays off, and Medal keeps running minimized.

Set up Medal

1. Install Medal. Download it from medal.tv, finish the setup and sign in or create an account.

2. Turn the overlay on. In the left sidebar under App Settings, open Overlay and set Enable Overlay to ON. This is the only setting that stays on.

   

   

3. Turn off clip capture. Open Clip Settings and set Capture Clips to OFF.

   

4. Turn off the video overlay. Open Video Overlay and set both Video Overlay and Virtual Camera Captures to OFF.

   

5. Turn off auto clipping. Open Auto Clipping and set Auto Capture Events to OFF.

   

6. Clear your startup apps and restart. Press Ctrl + Shift + Esc, open the Startup apps tab, right-click every entry and choose Disable. Then restart your PC. The settings don't take effect until you do.

Inject

1. Open Medal, sign in and check that Enable Overlay is still ON and everything else is still OFF.
2. Go back to Medal's main page and minimize the window. Don't close it.
3. Open the loader and inject as usual.

Checklist

• Do the steps in order. Skipping one usually brings the problem back.
• Medal must stay minimized in the taskbar. Closing it undoes the fix.
• Every other overlay must be off: Discord, NVIDIA, AMD, Steam and the Xbox Game Bar.

Medal not an option? The SteelSeries Sonar overlay works the same way.
