This page explains how Team Manage works in the Live Now mobile app
and how it acts as a single source of truth
for team-based overlays during a live sports stream.
What is Team Manage?
Team Manage is the central place where you create and manage teams,
players, and match information.
Changes made in Team Manage automatically affect supported overlays
during the live stream.
What information is managed
- Team name
- Team logo
- Jersey and shorts colors
- Player list (starting players and substitutes)
- Match information (match title, team selection)
Overlays synchronized with Team Manage
The following overlays automatically update based on the selected teams
in Team Manage:
- Scoreboard
- Match Banner
- Poster
- Lineup
- Match Events
Overlays NOT synchronized with Team Manage
- Event Banner
- Sponsor Logos
- Weather
- Time
- Other generic widgets
How updates work during a live stream
- When you change teams using Team Manage,
all synchronized overlays update automatically. - Score changes, player selection, and team switching
do not require recreating overlays. - Team Manage controls data,
while overlays control presentation.
Key concept
Team Manage is the single source of truth for team-related data.
Overlays read data from Team Manage but do not store team information themselves.
Result
By using Team Manage, you can update team information or switch competing teams
during a live stream, and all supported overlays stay consistent automatically.
