Need help choosing a layout? Compare the four scorebug styles and the game details each shows.
Score from multiple devices
Let one person run the camera and another keep score. Open the boardās admin link on a phone or second computer. Every score change updates the connected overlay without a refresh.
Share the admin link only with people who should edit. A volunteer can use it without their own account; if you add a board password, theyāll need that too. Keep the overlay URL in your broadcasting software.
Both devices need internet access. You enter the scores and operate the clock: the overlay doesnāt read your camera or import a professional leagueās results.
Before going live, change one score, check the overlay, then restore the original score using your boardās scoring controls. Our illustrated OBS setup guide walks through the full connection.
Stream clean: remove the watermark
Published free overlays include a small āScoreKeeperCoā signature. Paid plans can remove it and unlock custom team colors and logos. The starter preview above is unbranded; it doesnāt upgrade the board you create. See Pro pricing for current passes, subscriptions and limits.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a scorebug?
A scorebug (also written 'score bug') is the compact graphic over a sports broadcast that keeps the score visible during play. Depending on the sport and layout, it can show the game clock, period, possession and other game information. ScoreKeeperCo gives you an overlay URL to add to your streaming software.
What does an NFL scorebug show?
An NFL broadcast scorebug typically shows team names and scores, quarter, game clock, down and distance, and possession. ScoreKeeperCoās football Broadcast style shows those fields using the information you enter in the scoring controls. Other styles show fewer details. This is an independent tool for your games, not an official NFL graphic or results feed.
Which streaming software does the scorebug work with?
Use the overlay URL in a browser or webpage source. OBS Studio, Streamlabs Desktop, vMix, XSplit Broadcaster, Ecamm Live and PRISM Live Studio Desktop have this kind of input. Source names and transparency settings differ by app; choose your setup guide on this page. These instructions cover desktop broadcasting software, with scoring available from a phone or computer.
What's the difference between a scoreboard and a scorebug?
A scoreboard is the full display showing every detail of a game ā typically used for in-venue or full-screen viewing. A scorebug is a compact, persistent on-screen graphic designed to overlay a video feed during a broadcast without obscuring the action. ScoreKeeperCo provides both: a full scoreboard view for in-venue use and a scorebug embed for streaming overlays.
Is the scorebug overlay free?
Start one guest scoreboard without signing up, with up to 50 views. Its overlay includes branding. Paid plans support more boards and views and can remove branding; see pricing for the current options.
