    receiving, at the processing device, overlay content from a content computing device in communication with the processing device;

    compositing, by the processing device, the media content, an onscreen display, and the overlay content into a composite image, wherein the media content comprises a bottom layer of the composite image and includes a first set of pixels, the onscreen display comprises a middle layer of the composite image and includes a second set of pixels separate from the first set of pixels, and the overlay content comprises a top layer of the composite image and includes a third set of pixels separate from the first set of pixels and the second set of pixels;

    determining, by the processing device, a location of the overlay content that overlaps a portion of the onscreen display;

    defining, by the processing device, a portion of the third set of pixels as a window in the overlay content that corresponds to the location of the overlay content that overlaps the onscreen display; and

    adjusting, by the processing device, a transparency level of the portion of the third set of pixels to permit a portion of the second set of pixels to be at least partially visible through the window.
