Frequently Asked Questions
- Can I show the scoreboard on a TV screen in the bar?
- Yes. Open the overlay URL in any browser connected to your bar TV — a smart TV browser, a laptop plugged in via HDMI, a Chromecast, or a Fire Stick. Your regulars can watch the live score on the big screen without any streaming software involved.
- Can I update the score from my phone during league night?
- Yes. The ScoreLayer control panel works on any phone or tablet browser — no app to install, just open the URL. Walk between tables and tap to update the score after each rack or frame. The overlay on stream (or on the bar TV) reflects the change immediately. Multiple people can use the control panel at the same time, so different operators can update different tables without conflicts.
- Can I stream our pub league to Facebook Live or YouTube?
- Yes. Add the ScoreLayer overlay to OBS as a Browser Source, point OBS at your table camera, and stream directly to Facebook Live, YouTube, or any other RTMP platform. Your followers can watch the whole night from home.
- What is a pool scoreboard overlay?
- A pool scoreboard overlay is a graphic that sits on top of your live stream video, showing the current rack or frame score, possession, and match information — similar to what you see in professional snooker broadcasts. ScoreLayer renders this as a transparent browser source you add to OBS, Streamlabs, or vMix.
- Does ScoreLayer work with OBS Studio for pool streams?
- Yes. Add ScoreLayer as a Browser Source in OBS Studio. The overlay has a transparent background so it composites cleanly over your table camera feed. You control the score and possession from a separate control panel tab — no need to touch OBS during the match.
- Can I track racks and frames separately?
- ScoreLayer uses a flexible rack and frame counter — the same control works for 8-ball racks, 9-ball racks, or snooker frames. You increment it after each game finishes and the tally updates on the overlay. The counter does not reset automatically, so you stay in full control of what gets counted. For matches going to a race-to number, the target shows alongside the current tally so viewers can follow the progress at a glance.
- Can I show the race-to number and game type?
- Yes. You can set the race-to number and game type (e.g. 9-ball, 8-ball, snooker) in the control panel. Both appear on the overlay so viewers know the format and what's needed to win.
- 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. The browser source overlays your pool scoreboard — rack or frame count, possession, race-to number, and player names — transparently over your table camera. You can also open the overlay URL directly in a bar TV browser to display the live score in the venue without any streaming software at all.
- 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 pub league nights and tournaments, many operators use Streamlabs to stream to Facebook Live or YouTube with the ScoreLayer scoreboard running as a browser source layer. vMix users can add multiple table cameras as inputs and keep ScoreLayer as a permanent overlay on top.
- Can I use ScoreLayer for snooker, straight pool, or other cue sports?
- Absolutely. ScoreLayer is flexible — the pool sport mode works for any cue sport where you track a frame or rack count between two players or teams. Just label it however suits your event.
