What Production URLs and Monitoring URLs Are
The Production URL is the link you copy and paste into your streaming software (vMix, OBS, LiveView) to display your overlay graphics on the broadcast. When you paste this URL into your software, the overlay becomes active and graphics will appear on your stream.
The Monitoring URL is used for testing and previewing how the overlay will look without making it active or incurring charges.
Where to Find Production and Monitoring URLs
1. Navigate to the Matches section
2. Find your match and click the drop-down arrow to expand the match view
3. Click the three-dot menu next to the overlay you want to use
4. Select Settings from the menu
5. The Overlay Settings page displays both the Production URL and Monitoring URL
How to Copy the Production URL
On the Overlay Settings page, click Copy Production Link. The URL is now copied to your clipboard and ready to paste into vMix, OBS, LiveView, or other streaming software.
How to Copy the Monitoring URL
On the Overlay Settings page, click Copy Monitoring Link. Use this URL for testing without activating the overlay.
How to Refresh the Production URL
If your overlay stops responding or you need to reset the connection:
1. Open the Overlay Settings page (follow steps above)
2. Click the Refresh button next to the Production URL
3. A new Production URL is generated
4. Copy the new Production URL and paste it into your streaming software
If you're using external software like vMix or OBS, you may need to re-copy the updated Production URL after refreshing the overlay.
How to Reset the Overlay Key
Resetting the Overlay Key generates a completely new Production URL from the overlay Actions menu:
1. Navigate to the Matches section
2. Expand the match view
3. Click the three-dot menu next to the overlay
4. Select Reset Overlay Key
5. A new Production URL is generated
6. Access the new URL from Overlay Settings (Links option in the Actions menu)
When the Overlay Becomes Active
The overlay is considered active when:
* The Production URL is pasted into production switching software (vMix, OBS, etc.)
* The Production URL is pasted into automatic camera user interfaces that integrate with LIGR
Once active, time is deducted from your balance for the feature currently in use.
