What to set up before a stream, what to do during each match, and how to close. You work in the staff console and OBS at the same time.
  • Stream: one broadcast night and its matches. Streams are set up on Schedule, and Live works in one stream at a time.
  • Scorecard: one match while it’s being scored, from Create Scorecard to Finish Scorecard. Only one can be open at a time.
Switch scenes in OBS yourself; the staff console only sets what each scene shows, on Browser Sources or in Live under Controls. See Broadcast scenes.

​
Before you start

  • Add the stream on Schedule with its matches, each with both teams set. See Plan the schedule.
  • Set up OBS on the broadcast PC, including its audio and game capture. See Set up OBS.
  • Ask each caster to set up their caster profile for Caster Chat. See Set up your caster profile.
  • You need access to operate Live and to change the scenes. See How access works.
