Line-ups, substitutions and a redesigned dashboard. The Mac builds are now signed and notarised, so they open with a normal double-click.

What's new

Line-ups. Each team in Match Settings now has a squad with shirt numbers. Add players one at a time or paste a whole team sheet, and tick who starts. Squads are saved with club presets and saved fixtures. Two new on-air screens, Home Line-up and Away Line-up, show the starters with the bench beneath, and are also available in OBS as pinned views. All of this is optional: with no players entered, everything works as before.

Scorers and substitutions. For a team with a line-up, tapping a goal key asks who scored (pitch first, then the bench, plus No scorer, Own goal and Not a goal), and the goal banner shows the shirt number, for example "9 Ali Smith". The new Substitutions tab logs a change in two taps, off then on, with a substitution banner to match the goal banner.

Screen rotation. Cycle the display through chosen screens every few seconds for the pre-match and half-time. It stops as soon as you switch screens yourself or kick off, and it can start by itself at half-time.

A redesigned dashboard. The preview and the clock stay on screen for the whole match, with everything else in two tab groups, so a landscape tablet shows the whole dashboard without scrolling. Keys are drawn like a vision mixer's: red is on air, green is running. There is a dark mode and a choice of three dashboard sizes, under System Settings > Appearance.

Signed Mac builds. The macOS apps for Apple Silicon and Intel are signed by Magic Zebra Limited and notarised by Apple. There is no more Open Anyway step, and no "damaged" warning. The Windows installer is not signed yet, so Windows may still show a SmartScreen prompt.

Also. A new logo, and a Support PlayOverlay link (Ko-fi) in the dashboard and the Help menu. PlayOverlay stays free.

Fixes

  • Correcting a substituted player's name in the line-up now updates the substitution and goal logs too, so the old name no longer stays on the pitch.
  • No scorer on a goal that already has a scorer now clears it. Closing the picker still leaves it as it was.
  • In extra time, the clock no longer runs into the time remaining on smaller screens.
  • Electron is updated to 43.7.9, with its security fixes.
