How to Create a Custom Camera Overlay

Create a Custom Camera Overlay in Live Now. This guide describes the workflow and checks to perform before a live sports broadcast.

Before you start

Open Live Now and select a compatible camera or live sports mode. Check that the relevant overlay or scoreboard feature is available in your app version.

Guide

  1. Open the overlay manager or sports scoreboard templates.
  2. Select the relevant feature and configure the team names, content, visual layout or control options appropriate to the title.
  3. Preview the result and check readability, timing and safe areas.
  4. Save your configuration, then test the behavior before starting a public broadcast.

Important considerations

Features and controls can differ between iOS and Android. Use graphics and media you have rights to broadcast. For scoring, follow the competition’s official rules. Interactive polls may require additional platform support and may not be available in every version.
