Way to use Google Drawings

Hello,

I would like to use a Google Drawings file to make an overlay that can be easely modified (text field) on the fly by a Google Spreadsheet.

I tried to "Publish on the web" my file, then added it in OBS as a browser source. But I only got an empty (black) field. I tried it with a Google Slide and it worked well, except I can't have a transparent font.

Do you have any idea to make it work ? Maybe something in "personnalised CSS" in the browser source properties ?

Thanks !

I tried some other things :

I made the background of my drawing solid color to make sure transparancy doesn't block OBS. But I had still an empty browser in OBS.

I tried to connect to the file's url on an external browser. It downloaded automatically a png file. So I guess I can't use it like that and I have to use a proper html page with the image integrated in it. It must be simplier to just code a html page with data comming directly from my Spreadsheet at this point.

However, i tried to add my image by "media source" instead of "browser source" and it work well, with transparency... except the image blinks every 10 secondes, within the "reconnection delay" parameter of the media source. I only can adjust it from 1s to 60s.

Do you have any idea ? The simplier way may be to have the possibility to add an image from url, instead of just a local file.

Thanks.
