Understanding the Stream Monitoring Page

Explains what the Stream Monitoring page shows and how to use it to start/stop streams, manage audio and overlays, and monitor stream health in real time.

Overview

The Stream Monitoring page is where you control and monitor individual live streams during matches. This dedicated page shows a large video player displaying your live stream, detailed input and destination status information, bitrate indicators, and overlay controls. You access this page from the Matches section to start/stop streams, manage audio, change overlay assignments, and monitor stream health in real-time.


You can access the Stream Monitoring page by clicking "View" from a stream's Action Menu in the expanded match view, or by clicking the white space of a stream row to open the side control panel and selecting "View" from there.

What the Stream Monitoring Page Displays

The page shows a large 1920x1080 video player at the top displaying your live stream, with the stream name appearing above it. Below the player, you'll see match information including team names, time, period, competition name, Auto Stream status, and Auto Graphics status (if an overlay is assigned).


On the left side of the page you'll find input information and bitrate status. This includes the input details (RTMP URL and stream key, or SRT link), a button to copy the input details, the frame rate, resolution, and region - none of which can be changed while the stream is live. The bitrate indicators here show a warning icon when no stream is being received, and turn green with a KBS value once a stream is being received.


On the right side of the page you'll see the corresponding destination information, including the destination details (RTMP URL and stream key, or SRT link), a button to copy the destination details, and bitrate indicators for each destination.


Top Right Actions Menu

Clicking the three-dot menu in the top right of the page gives you access to three options. "Stream Settings" lets you configure the stream's settings. "Stream Analytics" opens the Stream Session Analyzer in a new tab, showing an input feed stability graph and other performance details. "LiveScore App" opens the LiveScore app.


Overlay Controls Below Video Player

Overlay controls are located directly below the video player on the Stream Monitoring page, and these controls are not available in Match Center. The overlay assignment dropdown lets you reassign the overlay for this stream by selecting a different overlay from the list. Immediately to the right of this dropdown is a refresh icon, which you can click to refresh the overlay production URL for this stream. There is also a "Hide Graphics" toggle, which hides all graphics and shows only the clean stream.


The Stream Monitor page is one of the primary locations where you can change overlay assignments for streams. If you are using external software like vMix or OBS, you may need to re-copy the updated production URL after refreshing the overlay. Note that the "Hide Graphics" toggle only affects LIGR-hosted streams - when using external software like vMix or OBS with the overlay production URL, this toggle does not affect overlay visibility.


Starting and Stopping Streams

To start a stream, click the START STREAM button in the top right; this button is only available if an input is assigned to the stream. To start destinations, check the "Select All" checkbox above destinations, then click the GO LIVE button in the top right. To stop destinations, check the destination(s) you want to stop, then click the STOP button. To stop the stream entirely, click the STOP STREAM button in the top right and confirm.

Audio Settings

Audio controls are also available on the Stream Monitoring page. The Mix Audio toggle mixes the left and right audio channels together, the Mute Left/Right controls let you mute specific audio channels, and the input audio volume slider lets you adjust the input audio level.


Settings You Can Change While Live

While your stream is live, you can still add or remove destinations, change the overlay assignment, and adjust audio settings such as mix, mute, and volume. However, some settings cannot be changed while live, including frame rate, resolution, region, and input assignment - the stream must be stopped first before changing these.


Accessing Stream Settings

From the Stream Monitoring page, click the three-dot menu in the top right and select "Stream Settings" to access full stream configuration. Stream Settings cannot be accessed from Match Center, so if you need to change frame rate, resolution, region, or input assignment, you must stop the stream, make the changes from Stream Settings, and then restart it.


Match Center vs Stream Monitoring Page

The Match Center is used for match-event visibility and highlight management during a live match, and it is not the primary place to monitor stream health. For technical monitoring - including bitrate indicators, input status, destination status, and overlay controls - use the Stream Monitoring page instead. Stream health indicators and bitrate monitoring are available on the Stream Monitoring page, not in Match Center.
