How to add stream overlays to OBS

Every court has overlay pages that show its live score and clock. Add one to your streaming software, such as OBS, as a browser source, and the score on your stream follows the scoreboard tablet on that court.

Before you start

• A scoreboard tablet is paired to the court. See Set up scoreboards and pair tablets.
• You need to manage the event or its scoreboards.

Steps

1. In your event’s planner, click 計分板儀表板 under 活動日. The dashboard opens in a new tab.

   

2. On the court’s card, click 串流疊加.

   

3. The 直播疊圖 window lists the overlays on the left, and the preview on the right shows the one you choose. It starts on Scorebug, the score bar that sits over your video.

   

4. Click 在新視窗中開啟.

   

5. The scorebug opens on a page of its own. Copy that page’s address from your browser’s address bar: it’s the link your streaming software needs.

   

6. For a full-screen scoreboard instead, open the same window again and choose 記分板電視, then click 在新視窗中開啟.

   

7. Scoreboard TV fills the page with the clock, the stage, both teams and their scores. Copy its address the same way.

   

Add the link to OBS

OBS is a separate program, so check its own help when its menus differ from these.

1. In the scene you stream, add a source with Sources › + › Browser.
2. Paste the overlay’s address as its URL.
3. Set the width to 1920 and the height to 1080, the size the preview in Dodgeball Hub uses, or to your scorebug’s canvas size if you changed it.

Each link shows one court. Add a browser source for every court you stream.

The overlays update live from the court’s tablet. If the overlay page loses its live connection, it says the scoreboard is offline until it reconnects.

The other overlays

The same window has three more, opened the same way:

• 即將到來的比賽: the court’s games from a starting round. Set the starting round, how many rounds to show, the day and a second time zone on the left before you open it, because they’re part of its link.
• 隊伍名單: one team’s roster. Choose the team first.
• 預測賠率: each team’s share of the pick’em picks for the game on the court.
