ScoreStudio Pro Frequently Asked Questions
Short answers to what people ask us most about the table tennis scoreboard, OBS, live streaming and the license.
The app
What is ScoreStudio Pro?
ScoreStudio Pro is professional table tennis scoreboard software for macOS. It keeps score for a match or a team match and shows it on venue screens, on your OBS live stream and on the umpire's phone, all in sync, with a match sheet at the end.
What is the best scoreboard for table tennis on macOS?
It depends on what you need. ScoreStudio Pro is made specifically for table tennis on macOS, and it covers the venue screen, the OBS overlays, the phone remote, the Stream Deck and the match sheet in one app. For a buyer's checklist, read our guide to the best scoreboard for table tennis on macOS. We build it, so the fair way to judge it is to try it: the trial is free for 3 days with every feature.
Is ScoreStudio Pro available for Windows?
A Windows version is coming soon. For now the app runs on a Mac with macOS 15 or later. The phone remote opens in the browser of any phone, iPhone or Android, with nothing to install.
What languages is the app in?
English, French, German and Spanish. It uses your Mac's language, and you can change it in Settings › General. The match sheet, the venue screen and OBS follow the app's language, and the phone remote uses each phone's language.
Table tennis and ping pong
Is ScoreStudio Pro also a ping pong scoreboard?
Yes. Ping pong and table tennis are the same sport in this context, so ScoreStudio Pro works as a ping pong scoreboard and score keeper too. It follows the table tennis rules: games to 7, 11, 15 or 21 points, serve, deuce and change of ends.
Can I use it as a simple table tennis score keeper?
Yes. A quick match is a single match in three clicks, singles or doubles, with the format you choose. You add points with +1, and the app keeps the score, the games and the serve.
Does it work for team matches?
Yes. The app follows the official order of the six singles, suggests the deciding doubles at 3–3, has its own scoreboards for the team match score and fills in the match sheet.
OBS and live streaming
Can I use ScoreStudio Pro with OBS Studio?
Yes. You add the scoreboard to OBS as a single Browser source and it updates with every point. There is no plugin to install.
How do I add a table tennis scoreboard to OBS?
In OBS, add a Browser source, enter the address http://127.0.0.1:8765/obs with a width of 1920 and a height of 1080, and click Turn on OBS output in the app's match panel. The step-by-step guide is in the documentation.
Does it work for streaming on YouTube and Twitch?
Yes. ScoreStudio Pro only puts the scoreboard on top of your picture in OBS, and OBS streams to whatever platform you use, so it works with YouTube, Twitch or any other.
Can I show my sponsors' ads in the stream?
Yes. Your sponsors' images appear inside the stream, in a small box during play and larger between games, without covering the scoreboard. You show them with one button or let them appear automatically. On the venue TV you can also play a video.
Control and venue screens
Can I control the scoreboard remotely?
Yes. Scan a QR code and the umpire keeps score from any phone or tablet, with nothing to install. A security code that changes every session keeps other people on the Wi-Fi out. You can also use keyboard shortcuts or a Stream Deck.
Does ScoreStudio Pro work with Stream Deck?
Yes. Each key is a standard Stream Deck website action that talks to the app on your Mac, so there is no plugin. A ready-made ten-key profile is available, and you can build your own keys.
Can I display the scoreboard on a TV?
Yes. Connect a TV or projector to your Mac, click Show on screen and choose among nine scoreboard designs: four for the match and five for the team match. It runs on the venue Wi-Fi, with no internet.
Do I need internet at the venue?
No. Everything runs on the venue Wi-Fi: the Mac, the phone and OBS talk to each other without going out to the internet. You only need it if you stream live.
Buying
Can I try ScoreStudio Pro before buying?
Yes. Download it and use the full app for 3 days, with no card needed. When the trial ends, the app asks for your license and nothing you saved is lost.
How much does ScoreStudio Pro cost?
A monthly license costs 19 € and an annual license 99 €, in euros and with VAT included. Both include every feature. The pricing page has the details.
Do the licenses renew automatically?
Yes, both the monthly and the annual one: it's a subscription charged to the same card every month or every year until you cancel, which you can do at any time from the link in each license email. Because the app works without internet, each time you're charged we email you a new license to paste into the app; the previous one expires by itself a few days later. If you cancel, you keep using the last license you received until it expires.
Can I move my license to another Mac?
Yes. Remove the license from the old Mac in the app, then paste the same key into the new one.
