Broadcast Software Integration

ScoreBird + Boxcast

Native Integration

Boxcast is a live streaming platform purpose-built for sports organizations, schools, and houses of worship, offering managed streaming with branded player pages and audience analytics. ScoreBird's native Boxcast integration embeds live score overlays directly into your Boxcast stream, with NeST pulling data from your scoreboard so scores update automatically from tip-off to final buzzer.

How It Works

Native Integration — ScoreBird overlays are embedded directly in the Boxcast stream

No separate broadcast software required — Boxcast handles the stream and the overlay

Automatic score updates from your scoreboard via NeST — no manual entry

Sport-specific overlay templates for basketball, football, soccer, volleyball, and more

Simple setup designed for school and athletic department staff, not engineers

Scores appear on every viewer's stream without any production switcher needed
