Phase 2 · Before Gameday
CricHeroes Score Overlay Setup
Once the YouTube event is created, set up the CricHeroes score ticker overlay. This generates a live URL that NinjaCaster will use to display scores on screen during the broadcast.
Prerequisites
You need ATB's CricHeroes Premium subscription (Ticker Admin access) and the match must already be set up in CricHeroes before these steps. The streamer's phone number must have Ticker Admin access.
1
Open Match Settings in CricHeroes
In the CricHeroes app, go to the match for which you want to generate the score-ticker overlay. Tap the Settings (⚙️) tab of that match.
2
Find "Add Match Official / Streamer"
In the match settings, scroll down to find the "Add Match Official / Streamer" option and tap on it.
3
Select "Live Streamers" and Tap Done
From the role options, select "Live Streamers" and tap Done.
4
Add the Streamer's Phone Number
Enter the phone number of the person who has CricHeroes Ticker Admin access (ATB's premium subscription). This is the number that can generate overlays.
Important: This must be the phone number associated with ATB's premium CricHeroes subscription, not just any number.
5
Select the Live Streamer and Confirm
The phone number will appear as a user. Select the live streamer from the list and tap Done to confirm the assignment.
6
Save the Match ID from WhatsApp
The Live Streamer will receive a WhatsApp message from CricHeroes containing the Match ID. Save this Match ID — you'll need it in the next phase to generate the overlay URL.
📱 Save the Match ID immediately. It looks like a series of numbers. You'll paste it into the ticker-admin website in the next steps.
7
Log into Ticker Admin Website
Open a web browser on your device (Chrome, Edge, Firefox — any works) and navigate to the ticker admin portal:
🔗 ticker-admin.cricheroes.com/manage-score-ticker
Log in using the same phone number that was added as the Live Streamer in Step 4.
8
Click Profile → Select "Ticker Admin"
Once logged in, click on your profile icon at the top-right corner of the page and select the "Ticker Admin" option from the dropdown.
9
Enter the Match ID and Click Next
Enter the Match ID that was sent via WhatsApp (Step 6) into the input field and click Next.
10
Scroll Down — Select an Overlay Theme
Scroll down on the page to find the available overlay themes. Select any theme of your liking — this determines how the score ticker looks on screen during the broadcast. ATB uses themes that display sponsor branding.
💡 Tip: Choose a theme that clearly shows the score and both team names. Themes with sponsor banner slots help promote ATB's sponsors to viewers.
11
Copy the Overlay URL — This is Your Key!
After selecting a theme, scroll down to Step 4 on the page and click "Copy URL". This URL is the live score overlay link. Paste this URL into NinjaCaster's Custom Overlay setting (see next phase).
🎯 This is the bridge between CricHeroes and NinjaCaster. The copied URL, when entered into NinjaCaster's custom overlay field, makes the live score appear on your YouTube stream automatically.
