YoloBox URL is now a short link
"Copy YoloBox URL…" now copies a short link (scorelayer.live/xy7umnsg-style) with your chosen resolution baked in, instead of a long URL with query parameters — much quicker to type on YoloBox's on-screen keyboard.
Every change you can see on air or in the control panel — new sports, new scorebug styles, and fixes. If your overlay looks different from last weekend, this is the place to check why.
Bigger releases get a full write-up on the blog.
"Copy YoloBox URL…" now copies a short link (scorelayer.live/xy7umnsg-style) with your chosen resolution baked in, instead of a long URL with query parameters — much quicker to type on YoloBox's on-screen keyboard.
"Copy YoloBox URL" now opens a quick picker for your canvas resolution (1280×720, 1920×1080, or 3840×2160) instead of requiring you to hand-edit the copied link — the right size is baked in automatically.
The scoreboard could render with a solid dark background instead of a transparent one on embeds that don’t fully honor page transparency (e.g. YoloBox’s Web URL Overlay). The overlay now forces a transparent background explicitly instead of relying on the renderer to composite it correctly.
A new Boxing sport with a red-corner/blue-corner scorebug: round counter with a per-bout total-rounds setting, a round clock, and controls for knockdowns, warnings, and point deductions on both corners, plus weight class and bout title.
Read more →Some broadcast conventions put the home team on the left, others on the right. A new swap button on the team setup card flips which side each team — name, colours, logo and all — appears on, on both the control panel and the live overlay. The "Home"/"Away" labels follow wherever the swap put them.
YoloBox's own "Web URL Overlay" feature has a known bug that crops a web overlay regardless of its content. The control panel now has a "Copy YoloBox URL" button (scoreboards/yolobox?token=…) that wraps the overlay in a fixed-size iframe — YoloLiv's own documented workaround for the bug — so YoloBox users no longer need to self-host anything.
Read more →PATCH /api/v1/scoreboards/{id}/push accepts a new flag field — true throws the penalty flag, false clears it — and it combines freely with a clock, score, or event update in the same push.
Read more →PATCH /api/v1/scoreboards/{id}/push accepts a new event section — { team, type: 'touchdown' | 'goal' } — for a device that just wants to report a scoring play. The server adds the points (touchdown +6, goal +1) and triggers the on-air scoring animation, so a physical button press is one API call with no local score tracking required.
Read more →GET /api/v1/scoreboards/{id}/state returns a board's current score, clock and sport, for a device resyncing after a reboot instead of guessing. PATCH .../push also accepts ?include=state to fold the same information straight into a push response.
Read more →The Peripheral Push API now has a proper reference at /docs/api — every field, example and error it can return, with the raw OpenAPI document at /api/v1/openapi.json for Postman, Insomnia and client codegen. The API itself is still a work in progress and will grow: expect new endpoints and fields, and check the reference for what is live today.
Read more →Hiding down & distance used to leave an empty white band behind. It now opens and closes from its centre line, and the clock and period close up into a centred pair when it goes. A penalty flag still brings the band back.
The API for scoring peripherals moved to /api/v1, accepts full team scores, validates what you send it, and tags updates with a sequence number so a late request can never overwrite a newer score.
The foul band was cutting the bug in half on free accounts. It now sits below the bug.
Preview widths were hardcoded per style, so some bugs were shown wider or narrower than they render on air. The preview now measures the bug itself.
A fourth basketball style, modelled on Amazon’s basketball coverage.
Read more →An overlay tab now reads "Overlay - <sport> - <team1> vs <team2>", so a row of OBS browser sources is finally telling them apart.
The Standard basketball scorebug is twice the size, and the ESPN one moved to bottom-centre.
The clean, centred look from the Paris games, with a foul band under the bug.

Read more →Show a flag per player, on a scorebug sized for broadcast, with the setup fields grouped sensibly.
Read more →One side was placing them inconsistently.
A bottom-right football bug with team-colour panels, a wide landscape logo slot and a touchdown banner that counts the score up.
Read more →Holding the stepper no longer bounces the value while the update is in flight.
On soccer, the bug stays on screen through the countdown instead of being replaced by it.
Move to the second half and the clock picks up from 45:00 without a second click.
Read more →Switching scorebug style used to need an overlay reload. It now lands on air the moment you pick it, like a score does.
The score rolls up and the bug reacts when you add a goal.
Read more →The clock is aware of which half it is in when you add time, and the digits no longer shift the bug as they tick.
Put a custom label under the bug, set how many timeouts each team gets, and show a timeout on the bug itself. Built for Flagg-NM 2026.
Read more →End the game on the bug instead of leaving the clock at 0:00 in the fourth.
Invites used to cover the whole account. You can now scope someone to one board. Ideal if you have a volunteer for a single game.
Uploading a team logo no longer needs a subscription.
Point the overlay at kick-off time and it counts down to it, then hands over to the scorebug. Every sport has one.

Sets, games and points, with tiebreaks — and a scorebug shaped for tennis rather than a scoreline.
Read more →Down without distance, no ball-on, and two timeouts a side by default.
Read more →A three-dimensional bug with possession colour and a textured surface.
The Classic scorebug shows an arrow rather than a circle, Compact stopped tying possession to ball-on, soccer respects the hide-clock toggle, and pool labels a frame as "Frame" for snooker and carom.
