Streaming overlays, which provide a rich amount of match information that automatically updates each ball, can be output from NV Play Pro Cricket Scorer/Play-Cricket Scorer Pro to third party software such as V-Mix and OBS to mix overlays with other video sources and graphics. The mixed video can then be live streamed to the internet from the third-party software.
