Virtual Scoreboard Embed

Embed a live virtual scoreboard on any website. The widget displays the current game with real-time score, clock, and period updates — no page refresh required.

The widget has two view states that switch automatically:

• Upcoming Game View — shown before a game starts, displays the next scheduled game
• Game Final View — shown after a game ends, displays the final score

For more information about virtual scoreboards, see the Virtual Scoreboards feature page.

Requirements

• A ScoreBird account with an active NeST device or ScoreBuddy Pro subscription
• Your widget parameters from the ScoreBird Portal

JavaScript Method (Preferred)

The JavaScript method is the recommended approach. It avoids the iframe sizing and responsive layout issues that are common with the iframe method.

<div id="scorebird_sg_widget"></div>
<script type="text/javascript">
  window.addEventListener('load', function () {
    ScorebirdWidgetV2.init({
      selector: "scorebird_sg_widget",
      primaryColor: "",
      secondaryColor: "",
      serial: "",
      team_id: "",
      schedule_id: "",
      sport: ""
    });
  });
</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://widget.scorebird.com/scorebird-widget-v2.min.js" async></script>

iFrame Method (Alternative)

Use the iframe method if you cannot add JavaScript to your page (e.g., some website builders).

<iframe
  style="border: 0px;"
  frameborder="0"
  width="510"
  height="500"
  src="https://widget.scorebird.com/single-game-widget?sport=&serial=&primary_color=&secondary_color=&team_id=&schedule_id=">
</iframe>

Troubleshooting

• Widget not showing? Verify the id on your <div> matches the selector parameter exactly.
• Score not updating? Ensure a game is active and your NeST device is online.
• Widget not sized correctly? Switch to the JavaScript method — it handles responsive layouts better than the iframe method.
