DIVA supports the addition of custom content via Custom Data Panels. No DIVA player code is required, simply design your content in a responsive HTML5 page and configure it in the Settings file. Custom content displays within a new menu tab in the data panel menu, situated after the Commentary and Synchronized Data Panel overlays.

Using the path resolver, utilize the contextual information (video, device, user info, etc.) to provide precise information to the user based on the current content.

See below the example of possible Custom Data Panel scenarios:

  • Gamification: Show the user statistics in an overlay during an event
  • Display other data panels related to the match like the weather conditions or venue information
  • Basic chat
  • Live blog integration

  • Mobile guidelines must be taken into consideration
  • Do not use complex js libraries
