First-Time Setup
Section titled “First-Time Setup”When the browser source loads for the first time, a setup modal walks you through two steps:
1. Toolbar Preference
Section titled “1. Toolbar Preference”Choose whether to show or hide the Player Toolbar in OBS:
- Hide Toolbar: cleaner look, more board space
- Show Toolbar: quick access to goal actions and settings
You can change this later in the App Settings.
2. Recommended Dimensions
Section titled “2. Recommended Dimensions”The setup will show you the recommended width and height for your browser source. The height adjusts based on your toolbar preference.
Set these dimensions in the browser source properties in OBS.
Interacting with the Board
Section titled “Interacting with the Board”Right click the browser source and select Interact to open an interaction window. From here you can click goals, use the toolbar, and play as normal.
The custom cursor is only visible inside the interact window, giving your viewers a clear indication of where you’re clicking.
Size Warnings
Section titled “Size Warnings”If your browser source dimensions don’t match the recommended size, you’ll see a warning overlay on the board. This is dismissible and won’t reappear until you reconfigure the setup.
If the dimensions are significantly off, the overlay will block interaction until you fix them.
Reconfiguring
Section titled “Reconfiguring”You can re-run the first-time setup at any time from the Player Toolbar. Open the toolbar and click Reconfigure OBS Setup to go through the steps again.
