In the world of live streaming, web URL overlays play a crucial role in enhancing the viewer experience. They provide valuable, real-time information such as live scores, stats, and other dynamic content that engages your audience and adds a professional touch to your broadcast.
Many YoloBox users, especially those streaming sports events, rely on overlays from specialized third-party websites, like scoreboards from professional scoreboard sites.
Previously, integrating these web URL overlays into YoloBox Ultra required a tedious manual input process, which was both time-consuming and prone to errors. To address this challenge and streamline the workflow, we’ve introduced the Third-Party GFX feature in YoloCast. This new functionality allows you to effortlessly import web URL overlays by simply copying and pasting them into YoloCast. The best part? The overlays will automatically sync with your YoloBox Ultra, eliminating the need for manual entry.
In this blog post, we’ll guide you step-by-step on how to seamlessly sync web URL overlays from YoloCast to YoloBox Ultra using the Third-Party GFX feature.
