Do you love live streaming sports matches on your channel? Do you want to make your live stream more engaging for your viewers? If you do, then you need a scoreboard. A scoreboard overlay is a vital element of any sports live streaming session. It shows the viewers important information about the match, such as the score, the time, and the progress of the game. Without a scoreboard, your viewers might get confused or bored and leave your live stream.

But how can you add a scoreboard to your live stream? Most streaming platforms, such as YouTube, Facebook, etc., do not have a scoreboard feature. You might think that you need to use expensive software or complicated equipment to create a scoreboard. But that is not true. There is a simple and free way to add a scoreboard overlay to your live streaming session. And that is Live Now’s Scoreboard feature. It’s now only available on iOS devices.
