How to add a live scoreboard to Facebook Live

Why a scoreboard matters on Facebook Live
Most people join a live match halfway through, often on a phone with the sound off. Without a scoreboard they don't know who's winning and scroll away. A clear on-screen score keeps them watching — and makes your stream look like real TV, which makes it easier to attract sponsors.
The usual way (and why it's hard)
Traditionally you'd need a laptop running streaming software such as OBS, a capture setup for the camera, and someone updating score graphics by hand. That's a lot of equipment and skill for a local match.
The simple way: Scorezy + Streemzy
- Create the match in Scorezy — add teams, players and your tournament branding.
- Choose your overlays — scoreboard, cricket scorecard, lineups, lower thirds and sponsor graphics.
- Connect your camera — your phone or any RTMP camera.
- Add your Facebook Page in Streemzy as a destination (add YouTube and Instagram too if you like).
- Go live and update the score — every tap in Scorezy updates the scoreboard on Facebook in real time.
What you can show on screen
- Live scoreboard for football and other sports
- Full cricket scorecard: runs, wickets, overs, run rate, target
- Team lineups and squads
- Lower thirds for players, commentators and officials
- Tournament logo, colors and sponsor graphics
Tips for Facebook Live sports streams
- Stream from your club or tournament Page so fans can follow it and get notified next time.
- Announce the stream with a post a day before, with the match time.
- Ask players to share the live video — shares are the fastest way to reach new viewers.
- Pin a comment with the fixture list or the next match time.
