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.
Bigger releases get a full write-up on the blog.
The Modern basketball scorebug no longer cuts the sides off wide logos. Empty space around an uploaded logo is trimmed away, and the logo panels are wider. A new Team logos setting picks how logos sit: Crop (the default) fills the panel and lets the logo run off the top and bottom, like the broadcast the style is based on; Fit shows the whole logo.
On every basketball scorebug, the timeout banner now takes the colour of the team that called it, with the text switching between white and dark to stay readable. The College style also gets cleaner scores with a thin outline on a darker panel.
A new College style for basketball: a full-width bar along the bottom of the screen with each team’s logo and full name, a game clock and quarter in the centre, a possession arrow, and season records, timeouts, fouls and the bonus in a strip underneath. It scales with your canvas, so it fills the same share of the screen at 720p, 1080p or 4K.
Basketball boards now have a Possession card, in both the full and compact views. Pick a team to show the possession arrow on scorebugs that have one (College, Standard and International 2024), or Off to hide it. Until now it could only be set through the push API.
Team logos on the Modern basketball scorebug looked pixelated, because the overlay loaded a small copy of the logo and stretched it to fill the tall logo panel. It now loads a full-resolution copy, so logos stay sharp on air.
The volleyball Standard scorebug now lists every finished set's score in a row under the bar, each on the colour of the team that won it. A set's score appears on the winning point, alongside the set-won pip. The row's space is there from the first serve, so the bar doesn't move on air when the first set ends. Untick Show set scores on the scorebug in the Set card to hide it.
Volleyball joins the sport list with a Standard scorebug: team names and rankings, the set score, sets-won pips, the serving team, and timeouts per set in each team's accent colour. Sets are won at 25 with a two-point lead (15 in the deciding set), and the bug holds the final score with END 1ST SET until you tap Start set 2. Indoor and beach presets, best of 1, 3 or 5, and optional point caps for rec leagues.
Read more →The control panel now has a compact layout for an OBS custom browser dock, so you can run the scoreboard from inside OBS next to your preview. Choose Copy OBS dock URL from the new Copy URL menu and add it under Docks → Custom Browser Docks. In the dock the overlay style is a dropdown, the live preview starts collapsed, and setup-only cards are left out. It works on every plan, free included. The Copy URL menu also holds the OBS/vMix overlay link and the YoloBox link that used to be separate buttons.
Read more →A scoreboard or other device can now set down & distance on an American football board through the push API, the same way it already drives the game clock: { "downDistance": { "down": 3, "distance": 7 } }, or goalToGo for 1st & Goal. A ballOn section sets the spot, and if you send only the yard line the side you set in the control page is kept. Flag football boards take the down. A value out of range is refused rather than quietly corrected, so a device bug cannot put the wrong down on air.
Read more →American football boards now have a Final button after OT, so the scorebug can read Final once the game is over. At Final the scorebug drops the game clock and down & distance, and brings them back if you step back to a live period.
Team rankings on the college scorebug are now a hand-lettered black number with a white outline, sitting at the top-left of each team logo, in place of the small white box.
Creating a scoreboard now asks only for a name and a sport. The board starts on the first style for that sport, and you switch styles on the control page, where the live preview shows each one.
A touchdown scored while a football board showed the Broadcast 2018 style played a second time, as the standard touchdown animation, the next time the board switched to another style. It now plays once, in the style that was on screen.
A new football scorebug: two team-color panels meeting at the scores, a tilted logo at each end, and a dark bar underneath with the quarter, game clock and down & distance. Each team can show a poll ranking (#7) and a season record (5-0), both set under Team Setup when the style is picked. Possession is a yellow underline below the score, and a flag or timeout takes over the down & distance slot. Every score gets a "+6", "+3" or "+1" sticker over the team's score, and the number changes once it leaves. A touchdown first gets a full-width banner in the team's colors, with the logo and TOUCHDOWN in brush lettering.
Start a 2:00, 4:00 or 5:00 penalty from the hockey control panel and it counts down with the game clock, carrying over into the next period if it has to. The overlay works out the power play from who is in the box and shows it with the time left (BOS PP 1:42), names a 5-on-3 or a 4-on-4, and a power-play goal ends the minor on its own: a double minor drops to its second two minutes and a major is served in full. That works for a hockey_goal sent from a Stream Deck too. There is also an empty-net toggle, a per-game period and overtime length (15-minute youth periods, 20-minute playoff overtime), and 2OT and 3OT period buttons. The old manual Power Play button is gone.
Read more →Logos uploaded for a handball board now show on air, on the outer edge of each team panel next to the team code. Before, the control panel accepted a logo but the scorebug never displayed it. Boards without logos look the same as before.
Bold, Heavy and Broadcast 2018 for football, Bold Soccer and Summer 2026 for soccer, and Broadcast 2018, International 2024 and Modern for basketball. Only the names changed. Every board keeps the style it had, and nothing looks different on air.
The FLAG indicator on the American and flag football scorebugs now uses dark text on the gold instead of white, which was hard to read on stream. On the Classic style the two scores also turn dark while the centre block is gold, and the FLAG tab now replaces the clock tab for the duration of the flag. Before, the clock tab covered it.
American football boards can now show goal-to-go. Press Goal next to the distance on the Play card and every scorebug style reads "1st & Goal" (or 2nd, 3rd, 4th) instead of a yardage. Stepping the distance, pressing 1st & 10, or calling a turnover switches it back off.
The Bold style for American and flag football can now draw a black outline around both scores, so they hold up over bright or busy footage. Turn on Score outline under Setup in the control page once the Bold style is selected. It works with any backdrop: None, Light or Dark.
The Bold style for American and flag football can now sit on a backdrop, so the scores stay readable over busy or bright footage. Pick None, Light or Dark under Setup in the control page once the Bold style is selected. Light uses a light grey bar with dark scores and clock, and Dark uses a translucent dark bar with the usual white text. None keeps the original look, with everything floating straight on the video.
If your venue scoreboard has a Genius Sports ScoreLink (Sportzcast), you can connect it to an American football board from the control page on a paid plan. Enter your Sportzcast email, access token and bot number, pick which team is home, and press Start listening: the score, game clock, quarter, down and distance, timeouts and possession then follow the stadium scoreboard. The feed runs while the control page is open, and the stadium scoreboard wins while it does, so stop listening to take over by hand. Your access token is stored encrypted.
Read more →The push API now takes hockey_goal and handball_goal as one-call scoring events, worth one point each. It also takes six per-team counters: yellow and red cards on soccer boards, team fouls on basketball boards, and knockdowns, warnings and point deductions on boxing boards. Each counter is a +1 or -1 against whatever the board already shows, so a button can add one on a press and take it back after a mistap without reading the board first, and a -1 at zero simply stays at zero.
Read more →The Stream Deck plugin passed Elgato’s review and installs straight from the Marketplace tab in the Stream Deck app now, instead of a manual file download. The setup guide also covers a suggested key layout for each sport with its own scoring action — American football, basketball and rugby today.
Read more →The push API’s period command now takes { "period": { "set": 2 } } alongside the existing { "start": 2 }. Start puts the clock at that period’s starting value and runs it; set only changes which period the board reads, and never touches the clock, so a running clock keeps running at the same value. It is what a device that keeps its own clock wants, and it is how a mislabelled period gets fixed mid-play without rewinding a live one. Both resolve a plain period number to whatever your sport calls that period, and both still apply the sport’s own period-boundary rules.
Read more →Run your scoreboard from a Stream Deck instead of a browser tab. Keys for scoring plays, the game clock, periods, timeouts, possession and the penalty flag, each captioned with the team name and its live value, so a scoring key shows the score and a timeout key shows how many are left. The clock key draws the running clock on itself and stays in step with the overlay. American football has a key per play (touchdown, field goal, extra point, two-point conversion, safety); rugby and basketball have their own; and score, clock and period keys work on every sport. Requires a paid plan, since it runs on the Peripheral Push API.
Read more →The push API now takes { "period": { "start": 2 } } — send a period number and the server works out what that period is called on your sport, puts the clock at its starting value and starts it. A countdown sport starts at the full period length, a soccer or rugby or handball board starts where the previous half ended (45:00, not 0:00), and anything that sport does on a period boundary comes along too: a basketball board applies its second-half timeout allotment, a bout goes active. Regulation periods only — 1-2 for soccer, rugby and handball, 1-3 for hockey, 1-4 for the footballs and basketball, 1-5 for tennis, and up to the scheduled round count for a bout.
Read more →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.
Read more →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.
Read more →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.
Read more →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.
Read more →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.
Hockey joins the sport list with two overlay styles, Scorebug and Broadcast Bar, plus penalties and power-play tracking, and team timeouts with an on-overlay timeout clock.
Read more →The Classic and Bold soccer scorebugs kept counting straight through 45:00/90:00 instead of stopping for stoppage time. All three other soccer styles (Classic, Bold, 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 Summer 2026 style.
"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.
Read more →"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.
Read more →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.
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.
Read more →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.
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.
Read more →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.
Read more →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.
Read more →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.
Read more →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.
Read more →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.
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.
The foul band was cutting the bug in half on free accounts. It now sits below the bug.
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.
A fourth basketball style: a wide bar with team-colour logo panels and the clock in the middle.
Read more →An overlay tab now reads "Overlay - <sport> - <team1> vs <team2>", so a row of OBS browser sources is finally telling them apart.
The Standard basketball scorebug is twice the size, and the Broadcast 2018 one moved to bottom-centre.
A clean, compact international-tournament look, with a foul band under the bug.
Read more →Basketball joins the lineup with quarters, fouls, team timeouts and three scorebug styles to pick from.
Read more →Also fixed the overlays shown in the examples gallery, which had drifted from the live ones.
Read more →Show a flag per player, on a scorebug sized for broadcast, with the setup fields grouped sensibly.
Read more →One side was placing them inconsistently.
A bottom-right football bug with team-colour panels, a wide landscape logo slot and a touchdown banner that counts the score up.
Read more →Holding the stepper no longer bounces the value while the update is in flight.
On soccer, the bug stays on screen through the countdown instead of being replaced by it.
Move to the second half and the clock picks up from 45:00 without a second click.
Read more →Switching scorebug style used to need an overlay reload. It now lands on air the moment you pick it, like a score does.
The score rolls up and the bug reacts when you add a goal.
Read more →The clock is aware of which half it is in when you add time, and the digits no longer shift the bug as they tick.
Put a custom label under the bug, set how many timeouts each team gets, and show a timeout on the bug itself. Built for Flagg-NM 2026.
Read more →End the game on the bug instead of leaving the clock at 0:00 in the fourth.
Invites used to cover the whole account. You can now scope someone to one board. Ideal if you have a volunteer for a single game.
Uploading a team logo no longer needs a subscription.
Point the overlay at kick-off time and it counts down to it, then hands over to the scorebug. Every sport has one.
Read more →A compact international-tournament bug for soccer.
Read more →A modern broadcast bug and a throwback to USA ’94.
Read more →A step-by-step walkthrough of adding your overlay as a browser source, with the sizes to use.
Read more →Countdown clocks switch to tenths for the last ten seconds, the way broadcast clocks do.
Generate a push token on the control page and post scores from a stream deck, a macro pad or your own script.
Marketing pages and the control panel load noticeably quicker, and the overlay reconnects faster.
Set and game handling that survives a real match, plus a usable control layout.
Read more →A wide, low bug with the possession indicator built into the team panels.
Score a touchdown from the control panel and the overlay celebrates it.
Grouped cards, collapsible sections and a play-state card, instead of one long column of inputs.
Sets, games and points, with tiebreaks — and a scorebug shaped for tennis rather than a scoreline.
Read more →Down without distance, no ball-on, and two timeouts a side by default.
Read more →A three-dimensional bug with possession colour and a textured surface.
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.
Frame and rack scoring with a vertical bug that suits a table camera.
Read more →Hand the control panel to whoever is operating the stream, without sharing your login.
Throw a flag from the control panel, and see at a glance who has the ball.
Halves, added time and a scoreline built for soccer rather than adapted from football.
Read more →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.
Read more →The log starts in May 2026, when the site, accounts and billing went live. 88 changes so far.
