Please run the command like "gst-inspect-1.0 | grep sink" to check all possibile ways to send the stream.

Have a great day,

Hi Victor

overlaysink plugin is not found in the system.
( gst-inspect-1.0 | grep overlaysink is not displayed any plugins. )
How can I try multiple video overlays without using overlaysink?

Thanks.
