Step 5: Begin adding the browser source to Ecamm Live by clicking the plus button on the dashboard.
Step 6: Next, paste the scoreboard URL
- Paste the scoreboard URL that you copied in Step 4.

Step 7: Once your scoreboard appears in Ecamm Live, drag and pull the corner of the browser widget to the bottom right corner.
