“ScoreLayer worked perfectly for us all through our streaming of the Norwegian Flag Football Championships! I really like that the logos and scores don't have a white background box around them - it lets you see more of the field.”
Travis Cornwell — Head of Club Development, Norwegian Federation of American Sports
“We're really happy with ScoreLayer! Getting started was easy, and we're now able to produce a professional looking stream for our Elite team with our one-person streaming team. ScoreLayer have also been very responsive to our questions and requests for new features (they even created the FOX style overlay at our request).”
Joachim Løvf — Chairman Of The Board, Oslo Vikings American Football Club

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is an American football scoreboard overlay?
- An American football scoreboard overlay is a graphic that sits on top of your live stream video, showing the current score, quarter, down & distance, possession, and timeout information — just like a broadcast on TV. ScoreLayer renders this as a transparent browser source you add to OBS, Streamlabs, or vMix.
- Does ScoreLayer work with OBS Studio for football streams?
- Yes. Add ScoreLayer as a Browser Source in OBS Studio. The overlay has a transparent background so it composites cleanly over your camera feed or field footage. You control the score, quarter, and down & distance from a separate control panel tab — no need to touch OBS during the game.
- Can I track down and distance on the scorebug?
- Yes. The ScoreLayer control panel lets you update the current down (1st through 4th) and yards to go after each play. The scorebug updates live on stream so your viewers always know the game situation. You can reset down and distance back to 1st and 10 after a first down or turnover with a single tap. The down indicator is part of the same scorebug — no separate graphic layer required.
- Can I show possession and timeouts?
- Yes. ScoreLayer has a possession indicator that shows which team has the ball, and timeout tracking so you can display remaining timeouts for each team on the overlay. The possession indicator updates with a single tap. Timeout counts start at three per team and decrement as you use them. Both can be shown or hidden independently, so you only display what your production needs.
- Do I need to install any software?
- No. ScoreLayer runs entirely in the browser. You just add a URL as a browser source in your streaming software — there is nothing to download, install, or configure on your computer. The browser source displays your football scorebug — score, quarter, down & distance, possession, and team branding — transparently over your camera feed. It works whether you are streaming from a single camera on the sideline or a full multi-camera setup.
- Does it work with Streamlabs and vMix?
- Yes. Any streaming software that supports a browser source or web URL input works with ScoreLayer. This includes Streamlabs, vMix, Wirecast, and most other professional streaming tools. For football productions with multiple camera angles, vMix is a popular choice — add ScoreLayer as a permanent browser source layer and switch between cameras without the scorebug disappearing. Streamlabs works equally well for single-camera sideline streams.
- Can I use ScoreLayer if I only need a basic score display, without game clock or play-by-play indicators?
- Absolutely. ScoreLayer is fully customizable — you can run a minimal score-only overlay or enable the full suite of football scoreboard features including game clock, down & distance, possession indicator, and timeout tracking. Show exactly what your production needs, nothing more.
