YouthStream: Creating a game and going live

Every game has its own link, and anyone with the link can watch in a web browser.

Create a game

1. Tap New Event.
2. Fill in Event Name, Event Date, Timezone and Event type (the sport). For some sports you can turn on Enable Scoreboard.
3. Tap Create.

To change the name, date, time zone, sport or scoreboard later, open the game and tap Event Details & Settings, then Update. Change Photo on the game's picture sets its cover. To delete a game, swipe left on it in your games list.

Share the link

On the game screen, the game's link is below Go Live. Tap it to share it by text, email or social media, or tap the eye button next to it to open it yourself. Profile → My Channel opens one page that lists all your games.

Go live

1. Open the game and tap Go Live. The camera screen is sideways, so hold the phone in landscape.
2. Tap to focus, and pinch to zoom.
3. If the signal drops, the app reconnects by itself and viewers keep the same link.

A game can stream from 1 hour before its start time until about 24 hours after it. To stream at another time, change the date and time in Event Details & Settings, or create a new game.

Without a subscription, each stream stops after 5 minutes. A subscription gives you unlimited streams of any length (see plans and prices).

Tips

How To Go Live on the game screen has tips:

• Charge the phone.
• Keep it out of direct sun, because phones can overheat.
• Clean the lens.
• Use Wi-Fi or mobile data (4G or better).

A tripod or stand keeps the picture steady.

Stream from a camera or computer (RTMP)

Subscribers can also stream from OBS, an encoder or a camera. RTMP on the game screen shows the server and your stream key, with copy buttons. Keep the stream key private.
