How to Stream Your Tournament with Broadcast Studio

What you need

A basic tournament stream has four parts.

• Broadcast software: OBS Studio (free) or vMix
• Graphics: a scorebar, the bracket, standings and starting soon or break screens
• Game capture: an observer or spectator client for the match
• Talent: one or two casters, in the room or remote

How Broadcast Studio fits in

Broadcast Studio runs on Windows 10 or 11 beside OBS or vMix. It gives you live HUDs and scorebars, brackets, standings and break screens as browser sources (or a generated scene collection), brand kits so everything matches your colors, rooms for remote casters and observers, a rundown with hotkeys and Stream Deck support, and replays and highlights.

It can import events from Nameless Arena and from other platforms, including start.gg and Challonge, so names, scores and the bracket come from your event instead of being typed by hand.

Connect your event

Organizers of an Arena event can add casters to it, and the Studio reads the event's teams, matches and results. If you want anyone to be able to read your event's live data (for example a community member producing the stream), you can turn on a public read-only feed for the event.

A simple run of show

Keep the first stream simple.

• Starting soon screen with the bracket, 10 minutes before the first match
• Feature one match at a time; show the bracket between matches
• Casters introduce both teams, call the games, and read out results
• Break screen with standings between rounds
• Winner screen and a thank you to the teams and sponsors
