Setting up OBS overlays with Live Tools

Pack Top Hits, Singles Sizzle Reel and Members Board each run as their own OBS browser source. This guide covers turning one on, adding it to OBS once, and running it during a show.

Pro feature

One-time OBS setup per overlay

Pack Top Hits is MTG only

Step by step

First-time setup for any overlay

Open the Live Tools tab

In Seller Mode, go to Live Tools. You’ll see a tab for each of the three overlays.

Turn the overlay on

Each overlay activates independently. Switching it on starts its local browser-source server and shows a live preview right there in the app.

Copy the browser source address

Copy the local address shown for that overlay.

Add a Browser Source in OBS

In OBS, add a new Browser Source to your scene, paste the address in, and set the width/height to match your layout. Do this once per overlay — you won’t need to repeat it next stream.

Confirm it’s live

The OBS source should match the in-app preview. If it’s blank, double check the overlay is switched on in the app first.

Per overlay

Running each overlay during a show

🎉

Pack Top Hits

Pick the Magic set you’re opening, choose gallery or carousel layout, and use the manual card picker if you want to swap in a specific printing. Click Hit! when a top card is pulled to fire confetti and bump its tally; the ×N counter and layout are saved per set and pack type.

◈

Singles Sizzle Reel

Choose a display mode (gallery, carousel, compact, or a vertical strip), pick which inventory profile or profiles it pulls from, and either let it auto-select by price or hand-pick and reorder singles yourself. Give it a custom title if you want one on screen.

👥

Members Board

Add member names to the board, drag to reorder, and remove a row when it’s no longer needed. Changes appear on the overlay immediately.

Tips

You can run all three overlays at once, on separate OBS scene items, or just the ones a given show needs.

The overlay server stays warm in the background, so a browser source you’ve already added keeps working next time you open the app — no need to re-add it in OBS.

Reset an individual Pack Top Hits tally with its own reset button, or clear all tallies at once before a new pack type.

Common questions

My OBS source is blank — why?

Check the overlay is switched on in the Live Tools tab first — the browser source only shows content once its server is running.

Do I need to re-add the browser source every stream?

No. Add it once in OBS and it keeps working across future streams as long as Toploader OS is running.

Can Pokémon singles appear in the Sizzle Reel?

Yes — it pulls any single card from the inventory profiles you choose, regardless of game. Pack Top Hits is Magic-only, since it’s built around Scryfall set data.
