Chat and streaming platforms
How do viewers play?
Viewers type !shoot <angle> <power> in live chat. The game launches the shot, checks whether it goes in, and updates the leaderboard.
Does it work with Twitch only, or with YouTube too?
It supports both Twitch and YouTube. Twitch is usually the simpler path, while YouTube may need a little more one-time setup before you go live.
Do I need to be live on YouTube first?
Usually, yes. YouTube chat features make the most sense once your live stream is active and ready to receive chat messages.
Overlay and scores
Does Stream Basketball work with OBS?
Yes. You can add Stream Basketball to OBS and place it where it fits your stream layout.
Does it run as a transparent overlay?
Yes. Stream Basketball can sit on top of your stream without taking over the whole screen.
Do scores stay saved between streams?
Yes. Stream Basketball saves the leaderboard on your PC, so scores can carry across sessions instead of resetting every time you close the app.
