Is it possible to keep Overlays in Preview only?

Hey folks,
Im trying to figure out a way to keep Overlays in the preview window only. I have a custom safe area I use to set up shot's on my PTZ's during live productions and I haven't been able to figure out how to keep it from going to program. The workaround I got right now is to just turn that layer off in the output window so it doesn't get sent to my recording/stream. But it would be nice not to have to turn the overlay on and off to bring it back to preview each time.

Simply click the Overlay-Button with the right mouse button and it'll only appear on preview

WHile the right click would do it the problem remains when you transition preview to output the overlay will follow . An option might be to use triggers . assuming the custom safe area is only usefull for camera inputs put them as a layer (not overlay) in these inputs and trigger them to turn that layer on/off on transition ( benefit will be the save area will also be visible in the small input windows ) Alternativly similar to above trigger to put overlayx on preview and turn layerx off (works with cut not so much with others) . To avoid possible (short) visibility to actual output during certain transitions , turn the layer of in output settings

Thanks doggy, this does seem to work for the most part. It just seems odd there's no way to turn off the auto-transition of overlays. If that were possible that would immediately solve my problem.
