Every change you can see on air or in the control panel — new sports, new scorebug styles, and fixes. If your overlay looks different from last weekend, this is the place to check why.
Stopping the clock from a peripheral no longer rewinds it
Sending { "clock": { "running": false } } to the push API used to put the clock back to where the period started instead of stopping it where it was — so a peripheral that stopped the clock at 11:23 of a 15-minute quarter showed 15:00. It now stops at the time actually on the clock. Send currentTimeMs alongside it only if your device is the authority on the time.
The Peripheral Push API card now shows the scoreboard ID with a copy button next to it, so wiring up a game clock or Raspberry Pi no longer means digging the ID out of the browser address bar. The push token below it is now labelled as such, rather than sitting unlabelled next to its buttons.
YoloBox now has its own step-by-step guide, linked from the resolution picker: which canvas resolution to pick, how to resize the Web URL Overlay widget so the scorebug fills the frame, and what to do if your canvas is not one of the three presets. Previously this lived as a single entry in the OBS guide's troubleshooting list.
Handball joins the sport list with a Standard broadcast bar: team codes and scores, a continuous match clock across halves and extra time, timeouts, up to three independently-timed 2-minute exclusion penalties per team, and an empty-goal indicator.
A new MMA/UFC-inspired "Ultimate" style for Boxing: fighter plates with corner-colour bars, an optional ranking badge, a per-round progress tracker, and an uploadable event/association logo.
New
Hockey scoreboards
Hockey joins the sport list with three overlay styles — Scorebug, Broadcast Bar, and Network Style — plus penalties and power-play tracking, team timeouts with an on-overlay timeout clock, and an optional match banner (e.g. PLAYOFFS) on the broadcast-style bugs.
Fixed
Soccer clock now stops for stoppage time on every style
The Classic and Fox soccer scorebugs kept counting straight through 45:00/90:00 instead of stopping for stoppage time. All three non-World-Cup soccer styles (Classic, Fox, and 94 Classic) now stop the main clock at the half's regulation duration and show a live "+m:ss" indicator alongside it, matching the World Cup 2026 style.
Improved
YoloBox URL is now a short link
"Copy YoloBox URL…" now copies a short link (scorelayer.live/xy7umnsg-style) with your chosen resolution baked in, instead of a long URL with query parameters — much quicker to type on YoloBox's on-screen keyboard.
"Copy YoloBox URL" now opens a quick picker for your canvas resolution (1280×720, 1920×1080, or 3840×2160) instead of requiring you to hand-edit the copied link — the right size is baked in automatically.
Solid overlay background on some hardware encoders
The scoreboard could render with a solid dark background instead of a transparent one on embeds that don’t fully honor page transparency (e.g. YoloBox’s Web URL Overlay). The overlay now forces a transparent background explicitly instead of relying on the renderer to composite it correctly.
New
Boxing scoreboards
A new Boxing sport with a red-corner/blue-corner scorebug: round counter with a per-bout total-rounds setting, a round clock, and controls for knockdowns, warnings, and point deductions on both corners, plus weight class and bout title.
Some broadcast conventions put the home team on the left, others on the right. A new swap button on the team setup card flips which side each team — name, colours, logo and all — appears on, on both the control panel and the live overlay. The "Home"/"Away" labels follow wherever the swap put them.
Fixed
Fixed a cropped scorebug on YoloBox
YoloBox's own "Web URL Overlay" feature has a known bug that crops a web overlay regardless of its content. The control panel now has a "Copy YoloBox URL" button (scoreboards/yolobox?token=…) that wraps the overlay in a fixed-size iframe — YoloLiv's own documented workaround for the bug — so YoloBox users no longer need to self-host anything.
Peripherals can now throw or clear the penalty flag
PATCH /api/v1/scoreboards/{id}/push accepts a new flag field — true throws the penalty flag, false clears it — and it combines freely with a clock, score, or event update in the same push.
Peripherals can now push a scoring event, not just a raw score
PATCH /api/v1/scoreboards/{id}/push accepts a new event section — { team, type: 'touchdown' | 'goal' } — for a device that just wants to report a scoring play. The server adds the points (touchdown +6, goal +1) and triggers the on-air scoring animation, so a physical button press is one API call with no local score tracking required.
Peripherals can now read a board's state, not just push it
GET /api/v1/scoreboards/{id}/state returns a board's current score, clock and sport, for a device resyncing after a reboot instead of guessing. PATCH .../push also accepts ?include=state to fold the same information straight into a push response.
The Peripheral Push API now has a proper reference at /docs/api — every field, example and error it can return, with the raw OpenAPI document at /api/v1/openapi.json for Postman, Insomnia and client codegen. The API itself is still a work in progress and will grow: expect new endpoints and fields, and check the reference for what is live today.
ESPN 2018 bug closes up when down & distance is off
Hiding down & distance used to leave an empty white band behind. It now opens and closes from its centre line, and the clock and period close up into a centred pair when it goes. A penalty flag still brings the band back.
Improved
Push API: team scores, validation and sequence numbers
The API for scoring peripherals moved to /api/v1, accepts full team scores, validates what you send it, and tags updates with a sequence number so a late request can never overwrite a newer score.
Fixed
Basketball Olympics scorebug no longer splits in two
The foul band was cutting the bug in half on free accounts. It now sits below the bug.
Fixed
Control-panel preview matches the real overlay width
Preview widths were hardcoded per style, so some bugs were shown wider or narrower than they render on air. The preview now measures the bug itself.
New
Amazon basketball scorebug
A fourth basketball style, modelled on Amazon’s basketball coverage.
A three-dimensional bug with possession colour and a textured surface.
Fixed
Possession arrow, and a few overlay fixes
The Classic scorebug shows an arrow rather than a circle, Compact stopped tying possession to ball-on, soccer respects the hide-clock toggle, and pool labels a frame as "Frame" for snooker and carom.
New
Pool, snooker and billiards
Frame and rack scoring with a vertical bug that suits a table camera.
A transparent scoreboard overlay for OBS, Streamlabs and vMix, driven from a control panel in the browser: score, game clock, period, down and distance, ball-on and timeouts, updating on air as you press the buttons. American football at launch, with the Classic and Compact scorebugs.
