Broadcast graphics for YouTube Live.

SmartPanel adds cloud HTML5 graphics and broadcast control to your YouTube Live streams. Design overlays and lower thirds in the browser, connect your channel with a secure OAuth sign-in, and run the graphics and the broadcast from one panel.

How it works.

Connect YouTube Live and put cloud graphics on air in 4 steps.

Step 1

Create your SmartPanel project

SmartPanel runs in the browser — set up a project with Smart Graphics and Smart Control, with nothing to install for graphics.

Step 2

Connect your YouTube channel

Link YouTube Live with a secure OAuth sign-in — SmartPanel talks to the platform directly from the cloud to go live, manage the broadcast, and follow chat and viewer count.

Step 3

Render your overlay into the stream

Add your Smart Graphics output URL as a browser source in the encoder that feeds YouTube — OBS, vMix or anything that renders HTML5.

Step 4

Run the show from Smart Control

Start the broadcast, watch chat and viewer count, and trigger lower thirds, tickers and full-screens in real time from the same panel.

What you can build.

Every graphic is an HTML5 template you design once in Smart Graphics and reuse across shows — rendered live over your YouTube Live output.

Lower thirds

Name straps, guest titles and topic bars with broadcast-grade motion — patch the text live without re-rendering.

Full-screen takes

Stats boards, starting lineups and sponsor takes that fill the frame, animated in and out on one button.

Tickers & crawls

Continuously scrolling headlines, scores or social feeds, driven by lists you update mid-show.

Bugs & sponsor logos

Corner bugs, live indicators and sponsor rotations that stay on air while everything else changes.

Countdowns & timers

Starting-soon clocks, segment timers and match clocks you control from the same panel as your graphics.

Live data graphics

Bind template fields to lists and data sources, then patch values on the fly while the overlay is on air.

Why SmartPanel for YouTube Live?

SmartPanel is the HTML5-native broadcast graphics platform for professional live production. The full platform pairs YouTube Live with a visual graphics editor, real-time control, Action Sequences automation and rundown management — all cloud-native, so your team can operate the same show from anywhere. When you outgrow one output, plans scale with more graphics, controls and integrations.
