Quick Start Guide for Live Online Scoreboards

OmniScore is a browser-based live scoreboard for small sports broadcasts, school games, and venue displays. Create a board, control it from the Owner Console or Shared Control link, and show the Viewer page anywhere a browser source or screen can load.

How OmniScore works

Every board has three practical surfaces: one place to manage it, one optional link for scorekeepers, and one clean display for the audience.

  1. 1

    Create a board

    Choose a sport from the home page. OmniScore creates a live board and opens the Owner Console for full control.

  2. 2

    Update the game

    Use the Owner Console for scoring, clocks, team names, colors, and sharing. Give a Shared Control link to a trusted scorekeeper when someone else should update the score.

  3. 3

    Show the Viewer

    Open the Viewer page on a TV, projector, browser source, or production machine. It stays synced with the control surface in real time.

Best first use cases

  • Add a live scoreboard overlay to OBS with a browser source.
  • Display a scoreboard on a gym TV, projector, or venue computer.
  • Let a volunteer update the score from a phone while the stream operator focuses on video.
  • Run basketball, table tennis, badminton, or volleyball boards without installing an app.

What to prepare before a live game

  • Confirm team names, colors, and sport type before the event starts.
  • Test the Viewer page on the actual display or streaming computer.
  • Share control links only with people who should be allowed to update the score.
  • Keep one browser tab open to the Owner Console for recovery and full control.

FAQ

Do viewers need an OmniScore account?

No. Viewers only need the Viewer link. The account is used by the board owner to create and manage boards.

Can the score be controlled from a phone?

Yes. Shared Control is designed for phone, tablet, or laptop scorekeeping while the Viewer page stays visible somewhere else.
