Broadcast Software Integration

ScoreBird + OBS Studio

Web Integration

OBS Studio is the most widely used free streaming and recording software in the world, and ScoreBird connects to it via a browser source — no plugins or special hardware required. NeST reads your scoreboard in real time and ScoreBird delivers a live score overlay widget that you add to any OBS scene as a browser source URL, giving you professional live score graphics on every stream.
