BROADCAST SETUP GUIDE

Create a new Scene Collection called "Battle Trade"

In OBS, go to Scene Collection → New. Name it "Battle Trade". You'll create separate scenes for Pre-Show, Live Round, Between Rounds, and Finals.

Add a Browser Source for the Broadcast overlay

Add a Browser Source → set URL to yourdomain.com/lobby/[id]/broadcast → Width: 1920, Height: 1080. This is your main production overlay with transparent background.

Add your webcam/camera source below the browser source

Layer your webcam or camera feed beneath the broadcast browser source. The transparent background lets your camera show through behind the overlay elements.

Add a second Browser Source for the Stage view (optional)

Create a separate scene with a Browser Source pointing to yourdomain.com/lobby/[id]/stage. Use this for scene switching during pre-show, eliminations, and winner reveals.

Set "Shutdown source when not visible" for performance

Right-click each Browser Source → Properties → check "Shutdown source when not visible". This frees memory when switching between scenes.
