Render views in third party apps

It is possible to render Ontime output views on any computer that can access Ontime over the network.
Aside from a web browser, you can do this using any third-party software that can render an HTML page, such as OBS, vMix, disguise or Touchdesigner.

You may need to distribute our stage timer view as a confidence monitor through your system, or consume it in a multiview.

In OBS you can use the Browser source. You would simply need to provide OBS with the link to the page with the options you need.

We try to keep our compatibility targets as wide as possible.
However some software uses older browser versions and may not be able to render Ontime’s views. In those cases you will often see a blank page.

Custom views may be a good alternative here.
With custom views you can leverage Ontime’s data and distribution to make a simple page that could have a wider browser support.
