The streaming overlay control gives you an interactive, real-time means of managing video overlays during a live stream. By using this panel, you can create a more engaging and informative experience for your viewers.
This guide explains how to enable the streaming overlay control panel and how to use it during a match.

Use the Streaming Overlay Control Panel
Use the buttons in the Streaming Overlay Control panel to choose what overlay information viewers see on their live stream. Each button displays a specific overlay.
Buttons are only enabled when there is enough data available. For example:
- Graphs and Cards items become available after the first over
- Milestones or Events 1 become active once a wicket, maiden, or player achievement has occurred
You can update overlays manually or use automatic modes:
- Auto - Displays the Main overlay and event-based overlays during play, and the Situation and Partnership overlay cards during breaks.
- Auto with Cards - Includes everything in Auto, plus rotates through full-screen cards and graphs during breaks (e.g. Manhattan, Bowling cards).
