Overview
The Overlay Control Room is your interface for manually controlling which graphics appear on your live stream. You access it from the overlay Actions menu by selecting "Control Room". This is where you decide which graphics show on screen when Auto Mode is turned off.
Available controls vary depending on your sport configuration, but typically include scoreboard, player graphics, statistics, lower thirds, event graphics, and custom graphics. Click any graphic control to show it on the live stream, and click it again to hide it.
Accessing the Control Room
To open the Control Room for a specific overlay, start by navigating to the Matches section. From there, find your match and click the drop-down arrow to expand the match view, then locate the overlay you want to control. Click the three-dot Actions menu next to that overlay, and select "Control Room" from the menu that appears.
The Control Room opens in your browser, showing all available graphic controls for that overlay.

Control Room Interface
The Control Room displays all graphic controls available for your overlay. The specific controls you see depend on your sport configuration and the graphics assigned to your overlay. Common controls include:
• Scoreboard
• Player graphics
• Statistics
• Lower thirds
• Event graphics
• Custom graphics
Showing and Hiding Graphics
To display a graphic on your live stream, click the graphic control button and it will appear on the live stream. To hide a graphic again, click the same graphic control button once more, and it will disappear from the live stream. Graphics remain visible until you manually hide them by clicking the control again.

Auto Mode vs Manual Mode
The Control Room is used for manual control when Auto Mode is turned off. When Auto Mode is enabled, graphics automatically appear when match events are logged, and the Control Room is not needed for routine graphic display. You set the control mode in Overlay Settings:
• Manual Mode: You control when graphics appear from the Control Room
• Auto Mode: Graphics automatically appear when match events are logged
Controller Overlays
If your overlay is set as a Controller Overlay, showing graphics in this Control Room will display them on all overlays assigned under this controller. This allows you to control graphics on multiple overlays simultaneously from one Control Room.
For example, showing the scoreboard from a controller overlay will make it appear on all five overlays linked to that controller at once.
