A live bid whist scoreboard for your stream
A game of Bid Whist to 7 can turn on one no trump hand, which is exactly what makes it worth streaming. The standings panel keeps viewers caught up: both teams, the score toward 7 or 21, and who deals next, updated as soon as the hand is entered.

Browser source dimensions
| Size | When to use it |
|---|---|
| 1920 x 1080 | Full canvas. Use this unless you have a reason not to: widget positions in the designer are pixel-for-pixel what the stream shows. |
| 1280 x 720 | 720p streams. The whole stage scales down, so nothing moves relative to the picture. |
| 820 x 140 | Score bug only. Crop the browser source to the top-left bug if you want the score and nothing else. |
| 820 x 220 | Score bug with the row under it (games won, serve dots, clock or outs, depending on the sport). |
| 1080 x 1920 | Vertical streams for phone-first platforms. Scale the bug up in the designer first. |
