Here are some short instructions on how to operate the live streaming overlays. They will work in OBS, Wirecast, vMix and most live streaming software that can support browser overlays.
Go into the Tables section after creating a tournament and edit one of the tables and check the radio button that says "Live streaming table".
You can also add a live stream link which will add a button in the bracket that people can click on to access your live stream directly. If you click on the table it should take you to a detail page like this with buttons on the left.
You can click the "Live scoring overlay" button which should open the overlay in a new window. Just copy and paste the URL into OBS as a new browser overlay and it will load the overlay with a transparent background and the scores will update automatically via the live scoring or if you change them in the bracket page.
You should also see an "Overlays" drop down menu appear in the header area next to the title of the tournament and it will display a link to the live stream overlay (see below).
The overlay on the bottom above the shot clock is what you should see. There are a few other overlays you can use which you can see in this image of the recent McDermott classic event.
