Stream overlays on your phone: donation alerts and a live scoreboard

Pick your service, paste the link you would give OBS, and SplitCam for Android draws the overlay on top of your picture: donation alerts, a goal bar, an event list or a sports scoreboard.

The short answer
  1. Add the layer. In the Scene Mixer, tap Add, then “Add layer” and “Widgets”, and choose “Donations and alerts” or “Sports scoreboard”. No “Widgets” tile? Update SplitCam in Google Play: the layer needs version 6.11.9.4 or newer.
  2. Pick the service and paste its link. It is the link you would give OBS: a widget link for alerts, a goal or an event list, or the output link of a scoreboard.
  3. Place it and go live. Move and resize the layer like any other. On the camera screen, SplitCam asks about scene sound when you tap Go Live: allow it if you want viewers to hear the alert sounds.

Stream alerts, goals and event lists

A donation alert is the pop-up a stream shows when a viewer donates. Services such as Streamlabs or DonationAlerts give you a web link for it, and for a goal bar or an event list too: the same link you would paste into OBS. SplitCam for Android draws that page over your picture, so alerts work from a phone.

Pick the service

Streamlabs, StreamElements, DonationAlerts, Ko-fi, Tipeee, Throne, Tiltify, DonatePay, Donatty or Donatello. For anything else choose “Other” and use any link meant for OBS.

Paste the link

Paste the widget link from the service: an alert, a goal, an event list or a whole overlay. SplitCam guesses the kind from words in the link, and you can correct it under “What is it”. If the link has no https://, SplitCam adds it.

Set it up in the service

You make and style the widget in the service itself, with its own steps. SplitCam does not sign in to the services, read your donations or list your widgets.

Alert sound

On the camera screen, when you tap Go Live and a scene has a page, SplitCam asks “Scene sound on air”. Tap “Allow”, then allow what Android asks: it calls it “screen recording” and shares app sound no other way. “Without scene sound” goes live with your microphone only. Test it once before the stream.

Needs a connection

The page is loaded from the internet while you stream, so the phone has to stay online.

A page that is too heavy

A busy page can make the stream stutter. Choose a smaller page size in the layer settings, and test the layer before you go live.

A live sports scoreboard

A scorebug is the bar that stays on screen in a sports broadcast and shows the score, often with the clock. A web scoreboard is the same thing as a page: you show it in the stream and change the score from a controller on another device.

Pick the service

Overlays.uno, KeepTheScore or Singular.live. For any other scoreboard choose “Other” and use its link for OBS.

Paste the output link

Paste the scoreboard's output link, the one for OBS, not the link of its control page.

Keep the score on a second device

You keep the score and the time in the service's controller, on a second phone or on a computer. SplitCam only shows the scoreboard page.

A bar over the picture

For KeepTheScore the app's own note says: for a bar over the stream, pick Scorebug → Narrow and wide. Layout names can differ by sport.

How fast it updates

SplitCam shows the page as it loads and changes. A delay can come from the service, your connection or the phone.

Page size and zoom

In the layer settings, choose the page size (Auto, 1280×720 or 1920×1080) and the zoom. A smaller page is easier on the phone.

What the widget layers do not do

They show a web page in your stream, and that sets the limits.

No sign-in to the services

You paste a link. SplitCam does not log in to Streamlabs, KeepTheScore or any other service, and it does not pick a widget or a scoreboard from a list.

No score and no donations of its own

The service receives the donations and holds the score. SplitCam does not read donations or keep score.

The kind is a guess

Alerts, goal, events or overlay are told apart by words in the link. If it guesses wrong, change “What is it” in the layer settings.

Sound is asked before you go live

The question comes only before the broadcast starts and cannot be answered later. If you tap “Without scene sound”, SplitCam does not ask again until you restart it. When you broadcast the screen, the sound of pages already goes out.

It puts a load on the phone

Video alerts and busy overlays use the processor. If a page slows the stream, choose a smaller page size.

An account at the service

You need the link from your own widget or scoreboard at the service; most services ask you to sign up first.

Where to copy the link in each service

Menu names come from each service's own help pages, read on November 9, 2026. Services rename things, so follow your screen.

ServiceWhere the link is
StreamlabsOpen the widget in the Dashboard (for example Alert Box): the Widget URL is at the top of its settings
StreamElementsMy Overlays, then Copy URL for the overlay
DonationAlertsAlerts, then copy your OBS (or XSplit/Kast) link
ThroneIntegrations, Stream Alerts: customize the alert, then copy the link
DonattyWidgets, open a widget: the link is at the top of its settings, with a copy button
Ko-fi, Tipeee, Tiltify, DonatePay, DonatelloIn the service's help, look for the link meant for OBS or a browser source
Overlays.unoIn the overlay, Copy Output URL (the controller has its own Control URL)
KeepTheScoreCreate a scoreboard, then Open Display Scoreboard at the top of the control panel and copy the link
Singular.liveThe Output URL, copied from the control app

Stream overlays and widgets: questions

What is a stream overlay or widget?

A stream overlay is graphics drawn on top of live video, and a stream widget is a small piece of one that shows things like alerts, chat, goals or recent events. Many widgets are published as a web address that the streaming program loads like a web page.

Can I show donation alerts when I stream from a phone?

Yes, in SplitCam for Android. Add the layer, pick your service, paste its widget link and go live. You make the alert itself in the service.

Do I need a computer?

You set up and style the widget in the service's own dashboard, and the services' guides are written for a computer. The link itself is only text: copy it there and paste it on the phone.

What is a scorebug, and how is it different from a scoreboard?

A scorebug is the small bar that stays on screen during a sports broadcast with the score and often the clock. A scoreboard is the full display of a game. KeepTheScore's blog (read November 9, 2026) describes a scorebug overlay for the stream and a full scoreboard on a TV. SplitCam shows whichever page the service gives you.

Can someone else update the score while I film?

Yes. You keep the score and time in the service's controller from a second phone or a computer, and the stream shows the page as it changes.

Why can't viewers hear the alert?

On the camera screen, SplitCam asks “Scene sound on air” when you tap Go Live. Tap “Allow”, then allow Android’s screen-recording prompt; “Without scene sound” sends your microphone only. The question comes only before the broadcast starts, and after “Without scene sound” it is not asked again until you restart SplitCam. Scene sound also needs microphone permission and Android 10 or newer. When you broadcast the screen, the sound of pages already goes out.

Will it slow my phone?

A busy page can. Choose a smaller page size in the layer settings, and test the layer before you go live.
