For streamers and casters
A broadcast stream overlay, ready in a minute
Observe a game or play a replay and the stream overlay fills itself from the game: heroes, items, armies, production and resources, for both players, as it happens. Free, in OBS or on your own screen.
In OBS or on your screen
Add it to OBS as a browser source for your viewers, or show it over the game for yourself. One layout drives both.
Six presets, 36 panels
Score bar, hero console, resources, armies, production, tech race, logs, player cards with flags, Twitch chat. Add, hide or move any of them.
Arrange it on the game
Drag panels over the game with alignment guides and snapping, or right-click a panel to hide, remove or add one.
Your event, your look
Your event name, sponsor line, logo and colours, saved as layouts you can export and share.
Recaps that tell the story
A fight recap after each fight and a match recap at the end: losses, heroes, items and the value advantage over time.
Live value advantage
Army, buildings and research at cost, charted live, so viewers see who is ahead.
Presets
Six layouts, one click
Start from the preset that fits your cast, then add, hide or move any panel.
Tournaments and casts. A pro cast: the score bar on top with the clock, the map and your subtitle, the hero console with resources and army values over the game's own console, and on each edge a strip of what is being made and researched, the upgrades and the units alive.
The game's classic observer screen. For the classic observer screen (not Advanced): each player's resources on the top edge with the score bar and the clock between them, their army and what they are producing down their side, both armies' value under the clock, and their heroes in the bottom corners, which that screen leaves free. The game's bar in the middle of the bottom edge stays clear.
Showmatches and fun streams. Everything side by side: the score bar with head to head under it, both armies' value as a tug of war, the heroes face to face over the game's console, the kills down the left edge and the items down the right. The middle stays clear for the fights.
Lessons and replay reviews. To teach from a game: what each player trains, researches and builds, down their edge; their tech race (tier and research) under the score bar; their heroes with skills and items in the console.
Stats and analysis. The numbers, each once: both armies' value under the score bar, each player's units alive and lost down their edge, who is ahead in gold, lumber, food, mining and workers under the left one, and the resources strip on the bottom edge. The middle stays clear for the fights.
Simple, room for a facecam. The simplest: only the score bar on top and a slim resources strip with the army values on the bottom edge. The game stays uncluttered and both edges stay free for a facecam.
