OBS Integration

Tournament Bracket Overlays

Add your ReadyRaider tournament bracket as a browser source in OBS Studio and display the full bracket on your stream. The overlay updates in real-time as match results are reported, so viewers always see the current state of the competition. The bracket visualization is designed for stream readability with clear match labels, participant names, and round indicators that viewers can follow even at stream resolution. The overlay renders with optimized font sizes and spacing specifically calibrated for common stream resolutions like 1080p and 720p, ensuring that bracket text remains sharp and legible after video encoding and compression.

• Add bracket URL as an OBS browser source
• Real-time updates without manual refreshing
• Stream-optimized visualization with clear typography
• Configurable bracket display size and positioning

Live Score Displays

Beyond the full bracket view, ReadyRaider provides focused score display overlays for individual matches. Show the current match score, player names, and match status as a compact overlay that sits naturally within your stream layout. These score displays are perfect for casting individual matches while keeping viewers informed about the broader tournament context. The compact score overlay is designed to occupy minimal screen space while remaining highly visible, using high-contrast colors and clean typography that work well as a persistent on-screen element during match gameplay.

Custom Bracket Themes

Your stream has a brand, and your tournament overlays should match it. ReadyRaider supports custom bracket themes that let you adjust colors, fonts, and styling to align with your stream's visual identity. Premium users can create fully branded tournament experiences that look like they were designed by a professional graphics team. Choose from pre-built themes for quick setup, or customize individual elements like background color, text color, accent colors, and border styles to match your existing stream overlay package. Consistent visual branding across all your stream elements, including tournament overlays, creates a polished and professional presentation that viewers associate with quality content.

• Customize bracket colors to match your stream branding
• Choose from pre-built themes for quick setup
• Premium custom theming for fully branded experiences
• Consistent visual identity across all tournament overlays

Broadcast-Ready Production Tools

Professional esports broadcasts use dedicated overlay systems to keep viewers informed and engaged. ReadyRaider brings similar production capabilities to independent streamers and community casters. Combine bracket overlays with score displays, use scene switching to transition between the bracket view and match commentary, and create a viewing experience that rivals organized esports productions without the overhead of a full production team. The overlay system is designed to be modular, so you can combine different overlay elements across multiple OBS scenes to create a complete broadcast workflow. Use one scene for the full bracket overview, another for individual match casting with a score overlay, and a third for results and standings displays.

• Multiple overlay types for different broadcast needs
• Scene-friendly designs that work with standard OBS layouts
• Lightweight browser sources that do not impact stream performance
• Compatible with OBS Studio, Streamlabs, and XSplit

Setting Up Your OBS Tournament Overlay

Getting your tournament overlay running in OBS takes just a few steps. In OBS Studio, create a new scene for your tournament broadcast and add a Browser Source. Enter the bracket overlay URL from your ReadyRaider tournament page, set the width to match your stream canvas, and adjust the height to display the bracket at a comfortable size. Position the source in your scene and lock it so it does not accidentally move during your broadcast. For the best results, create separate scenes for different tournament views: a full-screen bracket scene for between-match breaks, a picture-in-picture scene with the bracket in a corner during matches, and a results scene for post-match standings. Test each scene before going live to verify that text is readable, updates are flowing, and the overlay does not overlap with other elements in your layout. If you experience any display issues, try clearing the browser source cache in OBS or refreshing the source.

• Create separate OBS scenes for bracket overview, in-match overlay, and results
• Set browser source dimensions to match your stream resolution for optimal clarity
• Lock overlay positions in each scene to prevent accidental movement during broadcast
• Clear browser cache or refresh the source if you encounter display issues
