Match overview page#

When you open a match from the matches list, you land on the match overview page. This is your command center during a stream -- it shows the current state of the match and gives you quick access to everything you need.

Player score cards#

The top of the overview shows a score card for each player, color-coded with their assigned player color. Each card displays:

  • Player name and faction
  • Current round scores -- primary, secondary 1, and secondary 2 for the active round
  • Total score -- cumulative VP across all rounds (capped at 100)
  • Command Points -- current CP count

These cards update in real-time as scores change, whether entered from the dashboard or from the player input.

Mission info card#

Below the score cards, the mission info card shows:

  • Current mission -- the selected mission name
  • Deployment zone -- the active deployment configuration
  • Current round -- which round the match is on
  • WTC mode -- whether World Team Championship scoring is enabled

The share links section is where you get the URLs you need to run your stream.

Overlay URLs#

Every overlay has a unique URL that you paste into OBS as a browser source. Click any overlay link to copy it to your clipboard. The URLs follow this pattern:

https://gdstreamer.app/overlay/{match-id}/{overlay-name}

Overlays are public -- no login required. Anyone with the URL can view the overlay, but they cannot modify match data.

Tablet PIN#

The player input PIN is a short code that players enter to connect to the match. Share this PIN with your players at the start of the game.

Info
Player input requires a Standard or Studio tier subscription.

Co-streamer invites#

Invite another streamer to help manage the match. Enter their email address and they receive an invite link. Once accepted, they get full dashboard access to the match and can update scores, settings, and timer alongside you.

Tip
Co-streamers do not need their own subscription. They get access through your invite.

Team members#

The team members section shows everyone with access to the match:

  • Owner -- the account that created the match
  • Co-streamers -- invited collaborators with full match access
  • Pending invites -- invitations that have been sent but not yet accepted

You can revoke a co-streamer's access at any time from this section.
