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.

For an exciting live match experience, many of our scoreboard templates have stopwatch function. This function allows you to recreate the tension of a live match by displaying the elapsed time.
