How to Access Overlay Settings

Learn how to access Overlay Settings from the Matches table and explore its options for graphics, URLs, control mode, watermarks, and ads.

Overview

Overlay Settings are accessed from the overlay Actions menu by selecting Settings. This page provides preview graphics, production URL management, control mode settings, watermark toggles, auto background settings, and the critical Enable Ads toggle.


How to Access Overlay Settings

You can reach Overlay Settings from the Matches table by following a few quick steps. First, expand the match by clicking the drop-down arrow, then locate the overlay in the expanded match view. Next, click the three-dot Actions menu next to the overlay, and finally select Settings. The Overlay Settings page will then open in the same tab.

What You Can Do in Overlay Settings

Once you're on the Overlay Settings page, you'll find several tools for managing how your overlay looks and behaves. You can preview all graphic types, including background, event graphics, intro, lower third, match ID, panel, these player, player stats, and player stat comparison graphics.


Production URL Management: This section lets you manage the links used to connect your overlay to your streaming setup.


1. Refresh: generate a new production URL.


2. Copy Production Link: copy the URL to paste into your streaming software (vMix, OBS, LiveView).


3. Copy Monitoring Link: copy the URL for testing purposes.


Control Mode: You can choose how graphics are triggered during your broadcast.


• Manual Mode: you control when graphics appear from the Control Room.


• Auto Mode: graphics automatically appear when match events are logged.


Watermarks: You can toggle the following watermark options on or off as needed.


• Toggle Primary Watermark on/off.


• Toggle Secondary Watermark on/off.


Auto Background: Toggle this on for automatic background graphics.


Enable Ads: This setting is critical - if you selected "Brands" as the ad type during overlay creation, you must toggle on "Enable Ads" here for ads to actually appear on the overlay. This toggle must be enabled in addition to selecting the Brands ad type.

Important Note About Enable Ads

If you selected "Brands" as the ad type when creating the overlay, toggling on "Enable Ads" in Overlay Settings is required for your sponsor ads to display. Simply selecting "Brands" during overlay creation is not sufficient - the Enable Ads toggle must also be turned on.
