Game Info Overlays | gd streamer

Game info overlays#

These overlays display the current game state -- which round it is, how much time is left, whose turn it is, and what mission is being played. They are small, focused graphics that you place around your stream layout.

Round info#

URL path: /overlay/{id}/round-info

A compact badge showing the current round number (Round 1 through Round 5). Use it to keep viewers oriented on where the match stands.

URL parameters

Parameter	Values	Default	Description
`position`	`0`	--	Center the overlay horizontally

Round timer#

URL path: /overlay/{id}/round-timer

Displays the match timer in HH:MM format. The timer supports both countdown and target time modes (configured in the Timer tab of your dashboard).

Visual states:

Normal -- standard display while time remains
Warning -- changes appearance when less than 10 minutes remain
Expired -- turns red when time runs out

The timer updates every second and syncs across all connected views.

URL parameters

Parameter	Values	Default	Description
`position`	`0`	--	Center the overlay horizontally

Warning

The timer overlay only shows the time -- it does not control it. Start, stop, and reset the timer from the dashboard or Stream Deck.

Turn indicator#

URL path: /overlay/{id}/turn-indicator

Shows whether the match is on the TOP or BOTTOM of the current round. This tells viewers which player is currently taking their turn.

URL parameters

Parameter	Values	Default	Description
`position`	`0`	--	Center the overlay horizontally

Missions#

URL path: /overlay/{id}/missions

Displays the mission name and deployment zone name in a compact text overlay. Use it to inform viewers which mission and deployment are active.

URL parameters

Parameter	Values	Default	Description
`position`	`0`	--	Center the overlay horizontally

Mission deployment viewer#

URL path: /overlay/{id}/mission-deployment-viewer

Shows visual images of both the mission card and the deployment zone map. Unlike the text-only missions overlay, this gives viewers a graphical representation of the table layout and mission objectives.

Use this between rounds or during setup to show your audience what is being played.

URL parameters

Parameter	Values	Default	Description
`position`	`1`	centered	Set to `1` to move to the default left-aligned position

Tip

The deployment viewer works well as a full-screen scene you switch to during deployment, then transition away to your table camera once the game starts.
