Small problem grasping the selfie concept

I had a small question on how to use the selfie overlay as text message bubbles which I found quite confusing because I watched Joseph Evans videos on youtube about overlays but it didn’t help me. I just want simple steps on how to make it possible for two characters to send text messages to each other.

Thank you !

@Kiki209 you can use the narrator bubbles like this :arrow_down:
NARR (CHAR)
whatever you want to say here.
or
put the background in zone 1, 2, or 3 and then put the characters in the a different zone then the background and then you can text from there.
