The Broadcast Kit · free, all of it · YouTube & Twitch

Your watch-along, broadcast-grade.

A real TV score bug, play-by-play, win probability, live leaders, the night around the league, and full screens from “starting soon” to the final. A remote on your phone fires player cards and messages; your chat makes predictions and climbs a leaderboard. Landscape or vertical. One file sets up OBS. No sign-up, no fee, no footage or logos that can get you struck.

Your YouTube or Twitch handle optional · keeps your chat's fan grades separate from everyone else's

2 The scenes

Every scene is a Browser Source of 1920×1080 with a see-through background: stack them and they never overlap. The overlays go on top of your camera; the full screens replace it, with an optional hole for your face.

3 Your remote and the chat predictions

Run the graphics from your phone while you talk: a player card with his line tonight, an injury alert, your own message in big type, the standings, “be right back”, a countdown. And put a question to your chat (who wins, who takes the next quarter, a player over or under his points) that they answer on their phones and that settles itself from the real game. Your chat climbs a leaderboard all season.

One click, no account: we make a private key in your browser. The OBS addresses only carry its public half.

6 Fan grades

From tip-off, your viewers grade every player from A+ to F on their phone. The Fan grades overlay shows a QR code and your chat's averages, live. At the end of the game you have a segment ready: “chat gave him a D, let's talk about it”.

Questions

Is it really free?

Yes, all of it, with no sign-up and no limits. Every scene carries a small Hoops Nightly mark and the bot answers end with our address: that is all we ask.

How fresh is the score?

During a game the scenes re-read the data every 10 seconds. Most watch-alongs run a few seconds behind the TV broadcast, so the overlay can be ahead of what your viewers see: set the spoiler delay to the same number of seconds and it waits for them.

Can anything get my stream muted or struck?

No. There is no league footage, no audio, no logos and no photos: only our own graphics, team colours, type and numbers.

Do I have to change URLs before every game?

No. A scene follows your team: before tip-off it shows the next game, during the game the live one, afterwards the final until the next one comes up. Set it once.

What if my team isn't playing tonight?

The scenes show the next game, with the countdown. To set up your layout on an off night, turn on rehearsal mode: the scene replays a finished game.

Does it work with Streamlabs, Twitch Studio or vMix?

Yes. Anything with a Browser or Web Page source works: the URL, 1920 by 1080. The one-file setup imports into OBS Studio and Streamlabs Desktop.

Who sees my viewers' fan grades?

Everyone sees the overall averages; with your handle in the link, your chat's grades are counted on their own too. We store only an anonymous random id per phone, to stop double votes.
