Overview
The Hide Graphics toggle is located directly below the video player on the Stream Monitoring page. This toggle allows you to hide all graphics and show only the clean stream feed during a LIGR-hosted broadcast.
Important: This toggle only affects LIGR-hosted streams. It does not control graphics when you are using external software (vMix, OBS, LiveView) with the production URL.

Where to Find the Hide Graphics Toggle
The Hide Graphics toggle is located on the Stream Monitoring page, directly below the video player. There are two ways to reach this page.
To access the Stream Monitoring page through the Matches section: 1. Navigate to the Matches section. 2. Expand the match you want to monitor. 3. Click the three-dot menu next to the stream. 4. Select "View".
Alternatively, you can: 1. Click the white space of a stream row to open the side panel. 2. Click "View".
Either method opens the Stream Monitoring page in a new tab with the video player at the top. The Hide Graphics toggle appears directly below the video player, alongside the overlay assignment dropdown and refresh icon.
How to Use the Hide Graphics Toggle
Once you are on the Stream Monitoring page, you can control graphics visibility as follows: 1. Locate the Hide Graphics toggle directly below the video player. 2. Click the toggle to turn it on. 3. All graphics will be hidden from the stream output, and you will see only the clean video feed in the video player. 4. Click the toggle again to turn it off and show graphics again.

When the Hide Graphics Toggle Works
The Hide Graphics toggle only affects LIGR-hosted streams. This means the toggle works when LIGR is receiving your input feed and sending it to destinations, it controls what appears in the LIGR-hosted stream output, and graphics are hidden from all destinations receiving the LIGR-hosted stream.
When the Hide Graphics Toggle Does NOT Work
The Hide Graphics toggle does NOT affect graphics when you are using external software with the production URL. If you have pasted the production URL into vMix, OBS, LiveView, or similar software, the Hide Graphics toggle will not control graphics visibility in your external software output. In external software workflows, graphics visibility is controlled by your external software settings, not by LIGR's Hide Graphics toggle.
Other Graphics Control Settings
The "Start Overlay as Hidden" setting in stream configuration is a separate control that determines whether graphics appear automatically when a stream starts. This setting only affects LIGR-hosted streams: when enabled, graphics do not appear automatically when the stream starts, and you must manually show graphics from the Control Room. This setting does not affect external software workflows.
Both the Hide Graphics toggle and the Start Overlay as Hidden setting only apply to LIGR-hosted streams. Neither affects external software workflows using the production URL.
Tips
Use the Hide Graphics toggle to quickly preview your clean feed without graphics during a LIGR-hosted stream, and to check input feed quality without graphics overlays. Remember that this toggle only works for LIGR-hosted streams, not external software workflows. If you need to hide graphics in vMix or OBS, use your external software's controls rather than LIGR's Hide Graphics toggle.
