Go live
Start your stream. Use the control panel to update the frame count and possession — your overlay updates live on stream without touching OBS.
Running a snooker club or league?
ScoreLayer works just as well off-stream. Show the live frame score on the club TV, update from your phone between frames, and stream matches to Facebook Live when you want an audience beyond the room.
Show frames on the club TV
Open the overlay URL on any smart TV or laptop connected via HDMI. Your members see the live score on the big screen without any streaming setup.
Update from your phone
The control panel works on any phone or tablet. Update the frame count between games — no laptop, no cables, no fuss.
Stream your championship matches
When it matters, add the overlay to OBS and go live on Facebook or YouTube. Your league followers can watch from home.
Frequently asked questions
- What is a snooker scoreboard overlay?
- A snooker scoreboard overlay is a transparent graphic that sits on top of your live stream video, showing the current frame score, possession, and match information — similar to the scorebugs used in professional snooker broadcasts. ScoreLayer renders this as a browser source you add to OBS, Streamlabs, or vMix.
- Does ScoreLayer work with OBS Studio for snooker 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. You control the frame count and possession from a separate browser tab — no need to touch OBS between frames.
- Can I track frames and show a race-to number?
- Yes. ScoreLayer's frame counter increments with one click, and you can set the race-to number before the match starts. Both the current frame tally and the race-to appear on the overlay.
- Can I show which player is at the table?
- Yes. The possession indicator in the control panel lets you mark which player is currently at the table. It updates on the overlay instantly so viewers always know who is in play. In snooker, where a break can last several minutes, this is especially useful — viewers joining mid-frame can immediately see whose turn it is without needing commentary. Tap the indicator to switch it between the two players as the match progresses.
- 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 snooker scoreboard — current frames, possession indicator, race-to number, and player names — transparently over your table camera. For club championships, most operators run OBS on a laptop at the table with the ScoreLayer control panel open on a phone.
- 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 snooker club broadcasts and online championships, vMix users often keep ScoreLayer as a permanent browser source layer, switching between the table camera and other angles without the scoreboard disappearing. Streamlabs works equally well for single-table club streams.
- Can I use ScoreLayer for 8-ball, 9-ball, or other cue sports too?
- Absolutely. ScoreLayer's snooker mode is part of a flexible cue sports scoreboard that also covers 8-ball, 9-ball, 10-ball, straight pool, and more. Just select the game type in the control panel.
