Multistream and director console
Broadcasting a multi-lobby tournament usually means twenty browser tabs and switching scenes by hand. The NEMIX multistream collects the registered teams streams, tells you who is live, and gives you a URL to paste into OBS as a Browser Source, which updates itself while the tournament runs.
Plus plans
Multistream is included in the Plus plans: Starter Plus, Pro Plus and Annuale Plus. Access is tied to the server the license is active on, not just to your account.
Where the streams come from
You do not have to collect anything by hand. The stream link is one of the registration form fields: when a team registers and fills it in, its channel automatically enters that tournament multistream.
- Teams without a link are simply skipped: nothing breaks.
- You can make the field required, if you want everyone to broadcast.
- If a captain gets the link wrong, you fix it from the dashboard without redoing the registration.
Note
The streaming link field is described in detail in the team registration page.
The stream wall
In the dashboard, the Multistream section shows every team with a linked stream. For each one you see whether it is live right now, the broadcast title, which lobby it belongs to and the points scored so far.
- Live or offline status read directly from Twitch, not declared by the team.
- Filter by lobby, to follow one lobby at a time.
- Points, kills and matches played next to each stream, updated with the tournament.
- Each tile opens on Twitch with one click, if you need the original source.
OBS scenes
A scene is a URL you paste into OBS as a Browser Source. Each scene has its own address and its own overlay preset, so you can prepare several and switch between them from the OBS mixer like any other scene.
- 1In the dashboard, Multistream section, you create a scene.
- 2You copy the URL shown next to the scene.
- 3In OBS you add a Browser source and paste the URL.
- 4The page updates itself: no need to reload after every match.
Heads up
The scene URL is an access key: whoever has it sees the scene without logging in. Do not publish it. If it leaks, revoke it from the dashboard and generate another: the old address stops working immediately.
The URL requiring no login is deliberate: OBS has no browser carrying your session, so the scene has to work on its own. That is why it can be revoked at any time.
The director console
The director console is the panel you steer the scene from while on air, without touching OBS and without changing the URL. What you decide here is reflected on the scene already framed.
| Control | What it does |
|---|---|
| Main stream | Picks which stream fills the large tile. The others stay as secondary. |
| Lobby | Narrows the scene to a single lobby, or shows them all. |
| Overlays | Decides what appears over the video: standings, scores, team names. |
The practical upside is that you change framing during the broadcast without touching the OBS configuration: the source stays the same, what it shows changes.
Live standings, without multistream
If all you need is the standings updating on screen, and not the stream wall, there is a simpler route available on every plan: the live standings.
!liveclassificaEveryoneGenerates an address to use as an OBS Browser Source, with standings that update on their own. Requires the tournament to be started.
Aliases: !liveleaderboard · !golive
!stopliveStaffTurns off the live standings and invalidates the generated address.
Aliases: !stopliveleaderboard · !endlive
Note
The live standings are independent from multistream: they are two separate sources and you can keep both on screen in OBS.
Getting the broadcast right
- Ask for streaming links at registration, not on finals day: collecting them later is the surest way to lose half of them.
- Create and test the scenes before the tournament starts: the scene shows that tournament teams, but you can test the URL in advance.
- Keep a second scene with a different overlay ready: switching preset live is faster than reconfiguring.
- When the tournament is over, revoke the scenes you no longer need. It costs one click and closes access.
Frequently asked questions
Is multistream included in every plan?
No, it is included in the Plus plans. The check happens on the server you use the dashboard from, so the license has to be active on that server.
Do I need to install anything in OBS?
No. You only need a Browser source with the scene URL, which is a standard OBS feature.
What happens if a team goes offline mid-tournament?
Live status comes from Twitch, so the scene notices on its own and shows it as offline. You can filter the view or change the main stream from the director console.
Can I share the scene URL with a collaborator?
Yes, but treat it like a password: whoever has the address sees the scene without logging in. If you need to cut access, revoke the scene and generate a new one.
Do I need multistream to get standings in overlay?
No. Live standings are enabled with a command and available on every plan. Multistream is for when you also want the teams streams.
