Step 7: Disabling the Overlay

To disable the overlay, toggle off the Scripter button in CamOverlay.

Important Notes

  • Only 720p and 1080p streaming resolutions are supported.
  • The overlay may appear off-center in the camera preview but displays correctly on live streams.
  • Stop the overlay when not in use to prevent unnecessary network traffic.

Troubleshooting

  • Overlay not appearing? Verify settings were saved and that your NeST device is powered on.
  • API errors? Check the CamScripter logs for details and confirm your API key is correct.
  • Wrong data showing? Confirm the correct sport type is selected.
  • No data at all? Verify your NeST is assigned to a facility and that a game exists in the schedule.
