Overview

When an overlay is set to Manual Mode, you control exactly when graphics appear on your live stream. Click any graphic in the Control Room to show it on screen, then click it again to hide it. The graphics available depend on your sport and the theme assigned to your competition.


Manual Mode gives you precise control over graphic timing - you decide when each element appears and disappears during the broadcast.


How to Show a Graphic

1. Open the Control Room for your overlay (from the overlay Actions menu, select Control Room)


2. Click any graphic to show it on the live stream


3. The graphic appears on your broadcast output immediately


How to Hide a Graphic

1. Click the same graphic again


2. The graphic disappears from your broadcast output


Available Graphics

The specific graphics available in your Control Room vary by sport and configuration. Common controls include:


* Scoreboard


* Player graphics


* Statistics


* Lower thirds


* Event graphics


* Custom graphics


Manual Mode vs Auto Mode

Manual Mode requires you to click each graphic to show it. Auto Mode displays graphics automatically when match events are logged.


To check or change your overlay's control mode, go to Overlay Settings (from overlay Actions menu, select Settings). The Control Mode setting shows whether you're in Manual Mode or Auto Mode.


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 lets you control graphics on multiple overlays simultaneously from one Control Room.
