Every basketball overlay here is a browser source — one URL that renders the live score, clock and fouls with a transparent background, so it composites cleanly over your camera or game capture. Score the game on your phone; the overlay updates on air within seconds. No broadcast hardware, no plugins.
Corner bugs, full-width ribbons, lower-thirds, minimalist lines and chroma-key builds — every one driven by the same match you're scoring. Pick the look that fits your stream; the real per-game customizing lands next.
The broadcast staple — sport tag, both scores, period and team fouls tucked into the top corner.

Get started with custom scorekeepingYou don't design the graphic play-by-play. You run the basketball scoreboard like you always would — every tap on your phone pushes to the cloud, and the overlay redraws itself on your stream within seconds.
The running game clock and optional 24-second shot clock show on the overlay exactly as they read on the bench.
Team fouls tick up per quarter, the bonus fires automatically, and timeouts-remaining ride along on the fuller layouts.
Score, possession arrow and period all update the instant you tap — no second operator, no manual graphic edits.
The same live match also powers your public watch link for parents and a co-scorer link for your assistant. The overlay is one more view of it.
No capture card, no scoreboard console. Set the format, name the teams, and score courtside from the device in your pocket.
Every match exposes both a corner scorebug and a full-width ribbon URL. Add one, add both, switch mid-game.
Transparent background, tabular-figure scores and high-contrast type keep the bug legible over any footage. See how the scorekeepers behind it work in our guide to browser-based scorekeepers.
Start a cloud match, copy the overlay URL, paste it into OBS. That's the whole setup — details below.
OBS Studio is the free, industry-standard software people use to livestream and record. An overlay is a graphic layered on top of your video. Ours is a browser source: OBS loads our URL like a mini web page, and because the background is transparent, only the score bug shows — floating over your game footage.
Start a game on the basketball scoreboard with your account. That match gets a live public state the overlay reads from.
Open the match's OBS overlay panel and copy the corner or ribbon link. It's a normal web URL with a see-through background.
In OBS: + → Browser, paste the URL, set the size, drag it where you want. It updates itself for the rest of the game.
No stream at all? The overlay URL is just a web page — open it full-screen on a laptop wired to the gym TV or a projector and you've got a live scoreboard on the big screen. Running a whole event? Our guide to running a basketball tournament without losing track of scores walks through putting the score on a TV for the crowd.
Create your account, run a match, and drop the overlay into your stream. Per-game customizing — colors, logos, layouts — is landing next.
