Can I get a transparent background in a Web Page item to show live video feed?

I want to use my video feed from a local camera with a Web Page URL item from Uno Overlays.

Specifically I would like to show my live video feed with a Uno overlay which can be updated live.

i.e a team scoreboard.

I can use the overlay in OBS and it will show the overlay on top of the camera feed.

But when I use a Web Page item I can see the video feed until I add the URL for the overlay and then I get the overlay and just a black background.

Any thoughts or workarounds would be gratefully received.

I really don't want to have to use OBS and the virtual camera feed into Proclaim camera feed

Cheers and Thanks in advance,

Bob

    Hi Bob,

    Unfortunately, I don't think it is possible. It could be a good feature request but Proclaim does not recognize transparency in web pages and there is no way to add a web page as a layer on top of other content.

    If you just need a dynamic scoreboard, why not just do it in Proclaim with custom smart media?

    I made one called "Scoreboard Template Lower Thirds" and uploaded it so you should be able to find it.

    You can change the text boxes and it will update the score in real time.
